oh my God! This is so moving..I ve been listening to the CD version for years but this is so lovely.. My son moved to northern Ireland last year.. Exquiisite...
I found the divine comedy in high school. Between them and ELO were my two all-favourites! My favourite memory linked to this song was when we were playing football against e.p. Scarlett. We saw a shade of every season that game. And out of the flurry came the sunrise near the end of the game, and through my mind, all I could hear was Neil singing this song. It was a beautiful game, and a very beautiful moment.
Wonderful song of resilience. Echoes with current situation in Ukraine. God bless artists in general and Neil Hannon in particular. They give us reason to hope. Thank you.
The troubles in a topic that i really struggle to read about. WW2, WW1, stuff like that I can read about with very few issues. But the troubles just makes me feel awful and sick and horrible and depressed. Ive tried to read a few books but have to stop. Im English, and knew about it through bombs and stuff, but was never actually there in the heart of it like Neil. very very very sad time. As all war is.
I love you Neil Hannon for always making everyone so happy!!!
What a beautiful human being Mr Hannon is, and reading some of the comments he is not alone {Thank God}
'Who'll care when you're six feet beneath the ground?'
That line gets me.
Better each time I listen to it. What a wonderfully moving song, beautifully played.

It's an exquisite song. And the sentiment is always spot on. What a waste of life and love and possibilities it - war - always is in the end....
A great message for the world and the importance of peace

It's been a while since I was that moved by a song
I agree
His voice is more like Jim morrison..Whenever he sings, makes me remember Jim

Sounds a lot like Hallelujah the Jeff Buckley version
