Gorgeous, even without the emotive violin treatment. I clean forgot Neil Hannon after the National Express...just discovering again and buying the back catalogue..what a treasure trove of songs! The DC new album release date is 7 June; they are touring the UK in October and European dates to be announced...
Não se pergunta a idade a uma senhora. Porquê? Porque nunca terá. Como a boa Música, a senhora ficará para sempre em nós com a mesma idade. Quando se faz as coisas com tanta simplicidade, quase que não acreditamos no tão belo que estamos a receber. Assim é este Tema!
This may well be the best thing I've heard since Bob Dylan. (I don't mean Bob Dylan's latest, The Tempest, which came out just a couple of months ago, and which is great by the way, I mean you know the Great Bob Dylan of the 1960s and 1970s)
Just gobsmacking. Heard Neil play it live with a full band in 2006 prior to the album's release and again solo acoustic on his solo/acoustic tour. Just wow :)
@LimeeMiniDress Yeah, haha. I have since acquainted myself much more with him and the Divine Comedy (I'd definitely heard "National Express" a long time before discovering Tiersen) and he doesn't sound remotely French anymore, just a unique style of voice (which is no bad thing either!)
@hairpinpackie Fortunately, Neil has lots of fans all over the world and all of us who love his music think of him as a genius and nothing less. Not even the so called music industry can take down a genius´s art.
chart music is music for ''listning to in the car'' or getting drunk to, he doesnt get into the charts because his music is above all that, its ok though because looking at his videos he clearley has recignition for his efforts & natural talent
love the devine comedy, another classic song, kind of cross between "windmills of your mind" and "where do you go to my lovely" but better than both of those! T

Brilliant lyrics
I remember when this came out in 2006 I was in Cote d'Azure that summer! Beautiful song by a very underrated songwriter.
If you're not aware...buy and listen to everything by Neil Hannon. You'll be glad you did.
long live neil hannon, what an artist, very clever and very emotional...
Full of pathos. Wonderful.

His voice melts my heart .
Had never heard of him before today, but so glad I have now! Fantastic melody/ lyrics, a bit of a tragic streak. I dig it!
beautiful.
heard this on another video. i accept music ( listen/purchase) only songs that can capture and hold my attention. this has done that QUITE a bit
DO someone knows what is the tab corresponding to this recording ? It would be awesome to know. Thanks
Neil played this at the RSC on Sunday, absolutely stunning, he played it with much intimacy and warmth, was stunning
Uma voz melodiosa com canções extremamente atraentes. Os irlandeses tem um carisma especial...
sublime!!! tiene una voz exquísita, delicada, sensible..me encanta
@yaronam Never noticed the similarities before, good spot!
There's no one in the world that makes music just the way I need it to be, except for him. Thank god, he's there.
@hairpinpackie there are about 20 brilliant songs of him from a total of 150 originals...

The lyrics are so lovely and sad
I still can’t explain why exactly this song touches me so much... .it'sjust so incredible beautiful!!!
Songwriting of the highest order.

@92RedRevolver He has a few French covers (which are divineee <3) but he is Irish
Everything about him is so beautiful! His wit, his voice, his passion, and who doesn't love that beard?
hahahaha this is amazin dark edgy just fantastic
The man's a genious

as much as i love the album version of this, there's something superior and even more beautifully sad about this version
this song, sounds like a song, about my mom~ lol serious~ it is beautiful
