Badly Drawn Boy - The Shinning Lyrics

So lovely

I heard this album beat Coldplay's Parachutes to the Mercury music prize.

I went out and bought this album the next day. This is the first song that got me hooked. That cello and the French horn is mesmerising.

Listening to this album whilst smoking weed is probably the only connection me and my older brother ever had

ONE OF MANY MASTERPIECE SONGS BY BADLY DRAWN BOY!!!

This is beautiful

Wow flashback! 🙏 💕

Ed Sheeran should have learnt songwriting from you Damien, I guess not selling out was to your credit but not good for the bank balance.

Mum,, xx

I want to go back... I want to do it all over again.

I’m an orange

Quit holding Ikeas lamps hostage!

I miss you. Sunflower.

"So long, Jack... You son of a bitch"

I walked down the aisle at my wedding to this song. will love this song forever.

If this is your sort of thing check out Dodie- Human

oh my feelings.........

Has always been on our xmas driving back up to Leigh playlist since the album came out - it just sounds xmassy x

Awesome

Is anyone here because of Get Over it?

House lives :)

The trumps go hard on this boom...

I wanna walk down the aisle to this song some day

i saw a gay ad

Real Vibes!

I remember when I was listening to this song with ma dear friend Floriane when she was still alive. Now she's gone, and I see her every time I heard the first note of this melody..... rest in peace sweet love.

Dear sweet heart, I am comming home. It was a joke. I promess. Meet me in the river. Love you so much !

OMG, I can't breath. Where have you been ? You broke my heart, I thought you were gone. I thought you left me in this crazy and stupid world where people wear sandals with socks....

I was at home, al time but i wear sandals with socks.. i know it sucks..

You're not my friend anymore. Stay hide, for your safety.

Allez l'OM.

Busy Phillips brought me here. Instagram story 5/4/2018.

Simply and perfectly beautiful.

So happy and sad at the same time. Beautiful.

I wish to still live in early 2000s, all the best feelings😢

Live solo version is even better..what a genius.👌

This song always makes me feel something every time. I remember hearing about 30 or 40 seconds of the chorus in a Gap commercial for the first time.

I miss you. I love you.

Love, the one who can't forget.

This reminds me of when my cat died years ago. I played this song and cried my eyes out

Get over it

Diamond Jim's, a bondage party show, accidental paring, needle and thread, 2 rings... My Michael. 🌞

Brass and cello! Big thumbs up

Discovered this when I was 18. It informed my mood down to the dna forever. Beautiful song

Who else came here after get over it?

Thank you Gregory House!

Emily, if you're reading this. I love you. Come back to me.

We had it playing in the delivery room 14 years ago when my son was born 😊 love ❤️ you Luke

An ad for Cornflakes brought me here.......plus an album or two. fiendishly brilliant this guy.

classic schmosby

Such a beautiful song. I'm having this at my funeral!

I remember listening to this when I threw a cornflake at my dad and he died. I'm crying just thinking of it.

This is nice but really don't think this album should have won mercury prize over Coldplay -Parachutes. Whatever, Turns out this guy needed the publicity way more than Coldplay did!

I always think of a scene from a northern English industrial town with the french horn intro - like a scene from Brassed Off or something.

one of my fav songs of all time <3

met him at glastonbuty time ago .what a cool man

i am definitely going to bed now...ill be in my room nursing the hangover aYou Purposely gave to me

majestic . x

House MD brought me here :)
<33

One of my absolut favourits!! Love it! :)

This boy is a genius, nothing less..

I agree totally

I agree even though he is badly drawn.

ironically, that boy is not badly drawn.

Seeing this comment section I realise why this tune switches directly into 'everybody's stalking'. Man, what a load of wistful crap, why can't people just appreciate Damon's genius? :/

What's the matter with you, exactly?

I love the horn in general. I heard this in a god-damn Starbucks and started getting all emotional. Had to google the lyrics to find the tune. But I know this guy! He's done this to me before. I heard "You Were Right" on Conan or something like ten years ago and got all emotional.

Get over it - Kelly aand Burk's kiss ^.^

génial, 10 ans que je recherchais ce titre...

amazing

House MD brought me here :)

Damn the french horn

this song is so talented I absolutely love it

House and the fact that my UK expat Hubby introduced me to this amazing artist. <3

Used to listen to this all the time when I was a boy. One day, I heard this familiar melody playing on a horn faintly from the woods... I broke out in tears, and had to follow the beautiful sounds. Whoever was playing it stopped before I could get very close and I never found them, but I found so many memories along the way...

Carlos Miguel cheers!

my thoughts exactly

Carlos Miguel :') feel you bro

The story is the opposite of wistful if you read it- the poem at the end is also saying how pitiful wistfulness is.

@Alex O'Dowd I First heard this at the funeral of a baby swan. it was being played on a french horn made from the frozen tears of a Palestinian refugee (from the band 'the refugee'). I remember how the sound faded out as the horn melted. I was healed that day.

Queer as folk brought me here.

This reminds me of Lee and Nikki (RIP) it played on loop whilst the sun came up and we realised we were pilling all night.

+KtmMogs70 Bet they were proper pills too? Back in the day.... Ahhhh miss those days. Peace!!

this comment section is almost as beautiful as the song! To add to the nostalgic thoughts i'm another who was played this by my mum when i was young and i get the feels every time i hear it.
Well done for a comments section with nothing but lovely things to say! awesome :)

Suddenly you're in love with this song.

Lovely tune, but the lyrics are an embarrassment.

+moppettshow just maybe......?? { Life without your sole mate is a lonely existence.....its hard to remain silent when the 'one' isn't at their own 'awareness' place in their life.....keep up your persistence for happiness, and eventually you are able to drive a 'rift' between the one you adore and their lack of accordance..... }

Wish I was here (movie - 2014) and House MD

HARE KRISHNA DAVID

this song reminds me of my mum and dad everytime and I just wanna say thankyou to them for everything they've done for me✨💐

so sweet

144 bit rate?!  fucking shameful

+Catsick Music 144p is not 144 bit rate 144p refers to the resolution of the video, and it is unnecessary to have a resolution above 144 when the video is just an image and a song. The bit rate is completely separate and most definitely above 144

this song is one of the reasons i love this guy and his music x

elliott smith

Joey Cape dafaq dude :(

Isn't that a french horn mess up at 2:34?

Come on Damon drop a new album for fuck sake.

qaf - Brian fucking Kinney and I'm on the edge of tears ;x

Yasssssssssssssssssss

Stunningly beautiful song :)

i remember when i was 5 and iwas in kenya africa and my dad was listening to this song. bird was singing and animals were running around and it was cloudy day

thanks for sharing that with us, mr. president ;-)

Cool story bro

Noob McGoob

Better than your input man.

Is that an original pun of yours?

Or are you a fucking cheeseburger?

Yeahhppp

Mayonnaise!

Beautiful

Such a beautiful song, always seems to bring a tear.

An album my parents never stopped listening to over the teenage years of my life, rubbed off on my sister and I a great deal!

Booker Dewitt - U have hipster parents

Joie de vivre

p e r f e c t i o n

Anyone get this off of QAF?

@kuraian2
I really remembered it to be this song ... that's why i need to see the scene again

@stressstressstress Yea, i'm quite sure that it was this song that played during the scene originally but, Netflix has changed the music throughout the show for some reason and some of the familiar songs that played while the show aired on TV have been taken out/ replaced. 

@kuraian2 originally it was ,,Nobody's fault but my own" by Beck, if I'm not mistaken. :-)

Yes it was a different song, and for some forsaken reason I cannot find it, I've been searching for it and nothing came up, but Beck 's version and Badly draw boys version ..... someone help me find the song PLEASE!!!!!!

kuraian2 I bought the complete first season on DVD back in 2006 and it was this song that played

Get Over It. Listen to Tom Hanks' son, Angel! Er... Wait.

Love this song the boy is a genius

House MD really had good music at the end of the episodes..

House always had great music..

yeah got it from there only :)

every such song I search from house I love finding such comments !!

Even though you'll never see this, I still think about you all the time.

Im from Turkey by the way,just think about it,a guy from Kenya,or a girl from US,a guy from Italy, etc. all of us are just little dots on the earth,we may die,we may get forgotten,but songs that we whistled,songs that we cried to,drank to will spread through the universe.

aww.. this statement says so much.

Moi aussi

I see you

prettttttiest song

If you like this then check out The Avalanches remix (it's on YT). It's very different but as gorgeous as this...

it took me 6 years to get to know this beautiful song, but it was worth it.

tl,dr...This song helped me get through some bad times. BDR rocks. 

josh radnor's army

i <3 this tune 4 my whole life :---)

Damn!! this song is so beautiful! It makes me sad and happy at the same time! :')

The horns remind me of some movie soundtrack I can't place - quite maddening when that happens. Impressive track overall too tho.

The horns remind me of love actually...

I´ve heard it first time in Queer as Folk..if it´s helpful.. :)

It might be the soundtrack to "being Flynn". He did the soundtrack to the whole. Excellent movie, too.

this song was used in Get over it

@Ken Knights yes!

First 1:18 so beautiful.  I listen to it on loop.  Anyone have suggestions for cello and french horn?  My piano/trumpet teacher was silenced.  

Sufjan Stevens

@starofcctv94
Anything in particular?

@Catherine Slattery The Illinois album, not exactly french horns and cello, but some very nice arrangements 

bon iver's self title album 💘

oh this song is so sad..... it makes me so happy

When my father died i heard it for weeks. And no wafer 5 heard is the same....i cry all time
