Lyrics:
Though I can’t promise you,
Every hour of every day,
I need to feed the kids,
And take them to the park to play,
They say it’s impossible,
To be everything to everyone,
All I can say
Is that,
I’ll have your back for your panic attacks.
And though I’m a bad friend,
Yes - I’ve been a really slack bad friend,
Just know I’m well meaning,
And I’ll be there at the end,
Oh, Yes I’m a bad friend,
But maybe bad friends are still friends,
Just know you’re a good friend,
And that I’ll be there at the end.
Though it’s a struggle when,
you can’t take everyone away,
on a caravan holiday,
To the western edge of Wales,
Just know it was raining,
And the beer was warm and the
chips were wet, and you were missed
A lot, and we took selfies in your name.
And though I’m a bad friend,
Yes - I’ve been a really slack bad friend,
Just know I’m well meaning,
And I’ll be there at the end,
Oh, Yes I’m a bad friend,
But maybe bad friends are still friends,
And better than an enemy,
And I will be there at the end.
All those good times that we shared upon the road,
All those struggles disappear,
All those troubles in the World in relief,
Given friendship, never shiver.
You know I’m as reliable
As asking a seal to deliver the post
Or a random Pokémon to remember the number of your phone,
And though I’m a bad friend,
Yes I’m a really, really bad friend,
Just know I’m well meaning,
And I’m still here at the end.

This record is among Gruff's best. I can't stop listening to it, great work.
🎵👍🏼♥️⭐️
Oh, lord, I'm a bad friend myself. Thanks for putting this into a song.
You know your hearing something good when you keep playing it over again . Well l am beautiful track
You're so right. I've been doing the same 😍
Ara Deg made me aware of Gruff's music and I am looking forward to the gig! Something about this whole album tastes bittersweet in a lovely lovely way
Oh, Gruff! This is bloody genius in my humble opinion. I can't stop playing it.
this is the best song i've ever heard
Gruff is my playlist whenever I’m driving in Wales.
this is giving classic baroque pop song from the late 60s but from some alternate universe. we stan
Yet another classic , wow
Einer der hervorragendsten britischen Songwriter. Gibt keinen schlechten Song von ihm. Brillant stuff, once again.
i hope at some point in the future i get to chat to Gruff again, you've no idea what its like to spend an hour chatting to gruff
Ace melody harmony honey MAGICK!!!!!
Heard this this morning in a taxi got home found the song and now I love it
An instant Gruff classic! Bring on the album!
Brilliant
Gruff hasn't written a "Bad" song. Never runs out of Choons.
This is a Sad Song i wanna hear everyday
I'm like Gruff. Thank god I have good friends, otherwise I'd feel more alone than I am.
Methu stopio gwrando ar y gan ma .smashed it again gruff
Fi hefyd 😊
Legend o foi ydi gruff
How fluffy and great is that!? 😊
Thank you Vinyot.
Love Garden hat for the win!
There he is!!!
Brilliant song and video; even for Gruff´s high standards. Already timeless.
Brings back fond memories of Cwm Idwal, the Idwal Slabs and Tryfan.
Good mood music.
This album is amazing. Just ordered my vinyl and tickets for Raleigh.
I'm a bad friend to my best friend Rory. Sorry Rory! But I will be there at the end. Thank you Gruff for this song ❤
Rory knows.
Looks like a beautiful part of the world. North Wales, right?
But the café's in Cardiff!
Thank you Vinny
Coming back a few -hundred- times, I finally find the words to describe the vibes I get from it, Alex's dad in A Clockwork Orange, when he says "Maybe it's our fault too, in a way" it's so disingenuous, distant and disrespectful, like the bad friend in this song, dude even says he'll be there at the end, and I tricked myself into thinking this friend would actually apear at the end, but he didn't
If you're asking who hurt me, my so called best friend, 9 years of friendship down the drain for shit like this, doesn't take away any of my love for this song though!
Beautiful song!!
Love this song! Thank you 6 music.
If I listened to this on a cassette tape it would be ruined by now! Bloody amazing ❤
A very nice song - so laid back.
Love this track

YES!! love thissss

田舎の涼しくて爽やかな空気が感じられる曲ですね

Oh, so that's really a new song! I thought it's form the late nineties to the 2000s. I came from egoFM DAB+ Germany.
thank you.
Fab 😊
This dropped on Monday, yet still not on iTunes 😞
caru hwn!
You rather have 1 good friend then 10 bad friends
there's no way he uses a smart phone yet. no way.
an analog guy living in a digital world?
One time I went to take a selfie with him with my new flip phone and he was shocked that there was a camera on my phone 🤣 I still have that picture.
I’ve met him and he does. We looked at old festival lineups on it 🎉
He does, I have his number
"Analog boy in a digital world" is lyrics of a 2000s song@@andrewsnell1170
Blaenau Ffestiniog, Nant Ffrancon, LLyn Idwal, Caernarfon, Eryri a Gruff - anhygoel.
Trawsfynydd?
@@daihowells2080 Commins Coch?
we play awesome music!
I wouldn’t leave you waiting Gruff son
Thanks myllck for the recommendation
still can't get a ticket :( for manchester anyone got one spare?
This is cute ^^
truth
Where are these locations? I’m in the US and wanting to come to Wales, were the reason to find places like this.
I want to know too, especially that path with the sheep grazing right at the beginning. Only place I've identified so far is along the outside of Caernarfon castle near the hanging tower at 53°08'25.7"N 4°16'41.9"W
I've found another - the spot at 3:14 is a path along Llyn Idwal at 53°07'04.9"N 4°01'24.6"W
Looks a lot like the Elan Valley/Nat’l Cycle Rt 81 between Rhayader and Aber… buuuut a lot spots in Wales look like that! 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@SarahKatz You could be right, but hard to tell. I just realised the Llyn Trawsfynydd nuclear power station is in the background of a shot at around 2:45, taken from a field somewhere close to 52.934, -3.943.
The shot at 0:19 is Blaenau Ffestiniog 52.997,-3.942
And yes, I have been playing Geoguessr too much, sorry!
Trawsfynydd!!
just a man wandering around and that's that.
Ffycin tidy 👍
Araf ! Bydded i’r heniaith barhau ! 🏴 A bydded i ganeuon Gruff Rhys barhau hefyd👏
