I saw last night About a Boy again, it never ceases to amaze me how riveting the movie is and how beautiful the songs by Badly Drawn Boy are. Why didn't they get Oscar nominations or simply an Oscar. Hollywood Academy members are blind and deaf apparently.
One of the greatest songs and albums of all time. My teacher used to play this for us and I fell in love instantly, BDB will always hold a special place in my heart. Absolute masterpiece. Nothing short of genius.
I remember hearing this again a couple of months and crying - it toally caught me off guard. After months of pandemic nothingness, it really unlocked an outpouring of emotions.
Oh my I've been looking for this beautiful song because i forget the name for over 15 years! Thanks to google and forums i was able to find it 🥲 now i can cry in the shower while i listen to this song
This song feels really nostalgic for me for some reason... Listening to it brings back memories of the past, it's a melancholic feeling I guess. The whole melody and the way it builds up is amazing
So my Daniel Eric Cody wanted to be the greatest piano mover in the world and I so appreciate the music in this video. My Daniel was killed in a motorcycle accident on Thanksgiving 2015. He was the love of my life. He so appreciated music. R.I.P. Daniel I miss you.
i watched this video in 2002 when i was 2nd grade of junior high school, i always waited for this vid playing on MTV alternative nation at 10 pm.. fell sad about story telling on this vid, now i watched again on 2020 and still, fell sad..
OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND IT!! It brings back my childhood memory all over again..the duck and the android was all I can remember.. The best music and MV that I've ever saw in my childhood.. Huwaaaaaa..I was crying watching this again.. TT
Come see what we all talk about People moving to the moon Stop baby don't go stop here Never stop living here Till it eats the heart from your soul Keeps down the sound of your Silent sigh Silent sigh, silent sigh silent sigh Keeps down all move me down Could we love each other Come see what we all talk about People moving to the moon Stop baby don't go stop here Never stop living here Till it eats the heart from your soul Keeps down the sound of your Silent sigh Silent sigh, silent sigh silent sigh Keeps down all move me down But don't love each other No don't love each other Never gonna be the same
Chick flick? Hardly! About A Boy is actually one of the greatest films of all time. It's inspiring, truly, it made me virtually rethink my life. But of course, I'm a huge Peter Hedges fan, and the Weitz brothers are total geniuses too. Same guys who did In Good Company, I'm pretty sure. Excellent films, the lot of 'em.
This is one of those songs that seep into your soul, and also proves you have one for unwittingly letting it become meshed into your very fabric. Just booked tickets to see him in April in Sale for an intimate Q and A session. I am very excited about this. Being in the presence of reluctant greatness will be an honour. But man, this song. This and Around the block. They both own me when I hear them.
I’ve recently somehow survived a significant attempt at taking my own life and this song really does capture the emotions that I have been enduring. The inability to sustain emotional connections, the fear of rejection and not being capable to release myself from my emotional suppression. Lyrical artwork
One teardrop rolled on my cheek. Such a warmhearted yet sad video and absolutely gorgeous song. Videos like these can make atheists believe in afterlife.
I remember when I saw the movie in class and i was like. I Fucking need to know what this song is called. And I must say that this is THE best song in the world
Então,conheci ela atraves de um filme,não me lembro o nome,mas deve ser "um garoto de sorte"ou algo assim,chorei quando assisti o filme e pela trilha sonora,filme trás grandes fases da depre..entre outros fatores de isolamento etc...
I drank a bottle of wine and recalled that there was a song that made me melting once...a long time ago.. And I recalled a duck..and found the video. I'm gonna open another bottle.
this song is deeper than the f'n Marianas Trench... and I love it! let go of your prejudices, please, and learn from experience. I am an old 43, and if there is one lesson I wish I would have learned long ago, it would be the one that teaches us to go for broke, damn the torpedoes and fuck whatever anyone else thinks! Life is NOT an audition!!! Cheers! FrankC32
Almost 20 years on and this song still causes such a delicious ache in my soul
Damnnnn it's been that long???? I'm old!
I actually felt that comment.....😥
crazy feeling this song gives
21 years now.. time flys
Me too

It's an amazing tune
Did the same thing to me... first time I heard it...
I can relate. I’m just crying right now. Of missing my old friend. Of simple times. I moved to another country and.. so many uears. Oh my.
What crying? You sorry sad sacks!
We all know a how that feels. X
The piano intro of this song simply proves what a great musical talent BDB is
Oh my I've been looking for this beautiful song because i forget the name for over 15 years! Thanks to google and forums i was able to find it 🥲 now i can cry in the shower while i listen to this song
What a great song i seen this film back in 2002 with my friend who died last year it means a hell of a lot to me now
sorry
✌👍
💛💚💛🏴
Know where you're coming from mate, my bro got me into this song and album, he's sadly gone now, brings back great memories. Take care
🙏 to all we have lost ❤

Totally agree. Haven’t heard this in years and it gave me the chills today
one of them songs that you just dont want to end
it is nice that people can watch something like this and feel sympathy for a lesser creature. It always brings a tear to my eyes when I watch it.
I don't know why this song cuts deep every time I listen to it. Very poignant and always fills me with a real sense of comfort afterwards.
It has a feeling of yearning for something (freedom from pain?) which is why it cuts deep with me.
its piano and bassline for me, it just cuts / punches deep. brilliant really.
One of the saddest music vids ever
I almost forgot to breathe, watching this.
If it doesn't touch you somewhere inside, you're a dead (wo)man walking.
Try "Star songs of an old primate" from Alice Sheldon (aka James Tiptree), the story is called "Her Smoke Rose Up Forever"
How are you now Ruth?
When I was 13 I loved the movie and the song, so I came to watch this video again and I saw the movie yesterday. Now I'm 30.
Literally my favorite movie ever
OMG hope everyone can appreciate this marvellous song as much as me. Xx
Omg yes
dude, are are u high?
I do
IT's beautiful
Would be nice to replay life with a happy ending sometimes
Just use this one correctly.
@@sunbakedperhaps5910 Amen my friend, amen
What's stopping you
Chin up.
I LOVE you.
What a great lesson. If we all heal our bad memories and replace them with loving ones, our issues will fade away....
great underrated songwriter
I know! although he was listed as "top musicians you should listen before you die" or something like that. So.. well that's something
absolutly! he's great
well..not at the same level ( of fame) of..i don't know , beck or ben harper, or antony & the j. or agnes obel etc
sure! but he deserved more popular success :)
Steve McQueen u r a spastic
Came across this classic tune after 15 years! Never grows old.
I miss the 00’ 2000, when the movies was the best like , nothing Hill, or About a boy , I miss so much, I fall in loved with hugh grant ❤️
This video always makes me cry... I never cry watching music videos.
Yes 😳
Came here to say the same thing. For whatever reason, this music/video makes me wanna cry.
Brilliant song!! Just saw this film for the first time and this song just grabbed me.
Great film. Great song.
One of the best nostalgic tracks ❤
Still moves me 2000 years later 😊
I absolutely love love this song. It's a me song i think. Repeat loop and grinning lopsidedly through an ocean of time.
Repeat loop in 2022 and still dancing
So my Daniel Eric Cody wanted to be the greatest piano mover in the world and I so appreciate the music in this video. My Daniel was killed in a motorcycle accident on Thanksgiving 2015. He was the love of my life. He so appreciated music. R.I.P. Daniel I miss you.

The emotions this song brings
this may sound a bit wrong but i want this as my funeral song,it's lovely.
this song/video still moves me 14 years later
It always moves me too, the bit at the end wit the duck flying always brings a tear to my eye
One of my favs from childhood so glad my parents have good taste lol
i watched this video in 2002 when i was 2nd grade of junior high school, i always waited for this vid playing on MTV alternative nation at 10 pm.. fell sad about story telling on this vid, now i watched again on 2020 and still, fell sad..
Same!
Me too. Feels the same way.. xx

OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND IT!! It brings back my childhood memory all over again..the duck and the android was all I can remember..
The best music and MV that I've ever saw in my childhood..
Huwaaaaaa..I was crying watching this again.. TT
Me too. I cried one too many times at this song and the video
yes. such a beautiful vibe floating throughout and never goes stale.
There is something really special about this song.I feel it aswell as hear it. This is one of my gems I go back to. Thanks BDB.
Come see what we all talk about
People moving to the moon
Stop baby don't go stop here
Never stop living here
Till it eats the heart from your soul
Keeps down the sound of your
Silent sigh
Silent sigh, silent sigh silent sigh
Keeps down all move me down
Could we love each other
Come see what we all talk about
People moving to the moon
Stop baby don't go stop here
Never stop living here
Till it eats the heart from your soul
Keeps down the sound of your
Silent sigh
Silent sigh, silent sigh silent sigh
Keeps down all move me down
But don't love each other
No don't love each other
Never gonna be the same
Went to see BDB on Saturday night in concert in Birmingham, amazing gig when this was played the crowd went mental, great gig, well done Damon.
It's strange to think 2002 was 13 years ago. Fuck.
man I was just leaving high school. time flies :(
wish i was still 20
15 now :(
Slowly reaching middle age...
Rapidly hurtling towards...and then past ...in my case :D
Great song just watched it on itv never heard this song full blare til today now I’m obsessed with it
Chick flick? Hardly! About A Boy is actually one of the greatest films of all time. It's inspiring, truly, it made me virtually rethink my life. But of course, I'm a huge Peter Hedges fan, and the Weitz brothers are total geniuses too. Same guys who did In Good Company, I'm pretty sure.
Excellent films, the lot of 'em.
I'm going to watch it on the back of your comment.
Such a great tune
This song is how I feel all the time, can't seem to shake it...
I loved about a boy.
I love this song.
I hate seeing animals get hurt :(
Why must this video be so bloody sad :(
It was to tie into the ‘dead duck’ theme from the film and the song itself is pretty sad so a sad music video goes hand in hand.
It’s the duck standing helpless beside his dead mate 😭
i HAD to find this song after seeing "about a boy".
love this song!
Perhaps the greatest song ever written
Have been searching for this song for years, then i watched about a boy again and boom, there it is 😁
"are we having duck? how lovely!"
lmao about a boy is an awesome film. and this is a great song
love it
Hey anyone else propelled forward into 2020?
Yep. How do I get back?
Yes - Covid era - emotional song - reminiscing about good times but this experience will awaken our humanity I believe - we will win the war
me~

Hypnotic + nostalgic
one of my top three indie bands! this song is also used in one of my favorite movies "About a boy". that's when i first heard them. they rock.
My favourite video of all time by far. And I'm 43 so I remember all the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s. :)
This... is... amazing
Whose watching this in 2018 '?' time flies ...
Me

Lovely song but as anti-theist, nah……there’s nothing else!
amo esta cancion
I love this song; beautiful video also.
This was the first song at our wedding, beautiful ditty. Thanks for posting it on.
Such such such quality in just 4:54 . . . just a bit more time than it takes to make a perfect cup of tea.
I'm literally having tea right now 😌
aquí recordando viejos tiempos con los clásicos....este track es buenisimo!!!!
This song is like a time machine. In 2000 years this song will sound as good as year 1.
Great song 😎

Yo siempre lloro al ver el video 🥲
Música nostálgica, muito bela em todos sentidos! O tempo voa, parece q foi ontem que escutei essa música pela primeira vez...
Então,conheci ela atraves de um filme,não me lembro o nome,mas deve ser "um garoto de sorte"ou algo assim,chorei quando assisti o filme e pela trilha sonora,filme trás grandes fases da depre..entre outros fatores de isolamento etc...
@@tonygames5051 exatamente, o filme e um grande Garoto!! Legal o filme, escutei bastante essa música na rádio Brasil 2000 que tinha aqui em São Paulo.
Probably seen this video 200 times and still cry when the duck gets run over.
What a great composer and artist, I admire his content and sounds 💪🤗 superb

I know right? he is just everything I love when I hear his music... not to techno it's good.
