2001, this song came out. Nothing but a dream was the album, I hear this song and I cried, I had tears down my eyes, I wasn't afraid to cry. That you uncle Paul for this song xo
Paul Kelly is just getting better as time goes on. This song means so much to so many, including me. Once and a while I listen to this song and my heart breaks a little more.
Driving home from Specialist appointment (50% chance of cancer) and heard this song for the first time on the car radio. 11 years in sobriety, lost everything, wife, children... and then these haunting words. Oh Paul, you do it to me every time.
This is beautiful, God knows how much I've wanted a certain day to start again, I've prayed and cried, but sadly, my parayers also have been in vain...
@@Mrmikey0909 Somehow they’ve done it, I’ve come to terms with my losses, I honor them, cry them when needed but learn to accept them as part of my story, I’m in peace, I can’t breath peacefully, learn that a broken heart still’s being a beautiful loving heart, that dead is not an end and that my biggest healing power is my voice. Hope you can begin a new chapter in your life, full of peace, love, comprehension and self forgiveness, if needed. You deserve a beautiful life and I wish you a good one. If you ever feel broken, I’m up for hearing you
Brilliant video to go along with the tremendously mournful, albeit realistic, song lyrics. Songwriting genius at it's best. Simple and searing into the heart.
Can't believe there's a video for this. I'm a fanatic PK fan, but I'm in the U.S. where we can't get PK videos. Sigh. Luckily I've seen him play live eleven or twelve times. Always a treat.
Wish I could start my life again. Out of the millions of decisions I must have made in my 60 years there's probably been about a dozen that were monumentally bad. Which leads me to here again.
All the kings and queens Of the Bible They could not turn back time So what chance have I Of a miracle In this life of mine? I only want one day So unsay the things I said Undo the thing I did Twenty four little hours Oh God please wipe them all away And I promise I will change If I could start today again I know I'm not the milk and honey kind Today I proved it true But when the red mist falls around my eyes I know not what I do Please give me back today And I won't say the things I said Or do the thing I did Every minute every hour The replays just the same And I can't stand the shame Let me start today again I only want one day One lousy day That's all Of every day that's been before Since time began I know my prayer's in vain But for a second I'll pretend That I can start today again Songwriters: Paul Maurice Kelly
I put this song to a powerpoint presentation for my friend's funeral (he killed himself), this song always represents him from now on, in a beautiful yet mournful way...
Sorry to hear about your friend taking himself home I guess that's something we all have to do at one point or another in life, I hope your doing well in 2023 and that you have found happiness in life without him, just remember they don't really leave us they look down among us and still take the piss out of the things we do just like they did standing beside us. My name is MARK A Norman and I two have lost most of my favourite family and friends over the short years of my life and it does get lonely without them but life is fantastic everyday is amazing. Stay classy
Tell your Uncle ... I do appreciate his songs ... i can relate to his songs about regrets ... missed opportunities - youth .... and growing old ....thanks Mr Paul Kelly :-)
Well to your uncle from me, I know he is a private man. All I can say is Thank you for the music. Paul Kelly, Australian Icon, poet and story teller. Love his music and always will.
Originally heard this song in the theatrical stage show Certified Male back in 2003 at the Powerhouse in Brisbane. It was a Glynn Nicholas production. This song may have been written specifically for that show...but don't quote me on that.
@DingoDaithi, I recognize that line of thought and completely understand your intention, on every level of my being. That's severe Clinical Depression, right there. I hope, somehow, life has improved on your end. May things continue to get better for us all, worldwide. Keep the faith (in ourselves and recovery)!!! : ) oxo : )
@RDKF13, Umm...If you look at Paul Kelly's personal politics I think you may feel differently. I strongly doubt Mr. Kelly would accept a "knighthood" Order Of The British Empire or Commander Of The BE. To me, it seems he'd want nothing to do with the Windsors and wouldn't buy into any elitist beliefs or values. He's emotionally intelligent, humble, kind, realistic, honourable and seemingly believes, wholeheartedly, in equality of all peoples. There's no hierarchy if one is a Humanist.

I discovered this song one night about a year ago...and played it over and over...and cried until morning. It's everything.
I am feelin it now myself.. just saved the song 🥰

beautiful i use it to fall asleep sometimes paul kelly's voice is just so calming and beautiful. i wish he was more well known in the u.s.
Paul Kelly is just getting better as time goes on.
This song means so much to so many, including me.
Once and a while I listen to this song and my heart breaks a little more.
The music was likely just as good before, you have needed to live more to appriciate it and its lyrics.
This gem hits differently as the years go on.
My dad and I love this song. I always go back to this song when I’m anxious
i have always loved that song, loved it and played it and the whole album over many times. I have never seen the clip before.
That's *dark*...
Paul Kelly & Tim Tam saved my life, I owe them everything, straight up.
Driving home from Specialist appointment (50% chance of cancer) and heard this song for the first time on the car radio. 11 years in sobriety, lost everything, wife, children... and then these haunting words. Oh Paul, you do it to me every time.

paul kelly a magician with words and music........
This is beautiful, God knows how much I've wanted a certain day to start again, I've prayed and cried, but sadly, my parayers also have been in vain...
Me too Erick. My life changed in an instant and the promise of a good life drifted away. I hope the ten years passed have treated you better.

David field is one of the finest australian actors out there.he deserves more recognition.
beautiful song too
Saw the amazing Mr Kelly at Hotel Cafe in LA this week - A to Z of all his wonderful music. Songwriter and storytelling extraordinaire
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
Brilliant video to go along with the tremendously mournful, albeit realistic, song lyrics.
Songwriting genius at it's best.

All the kings and queens
Of the Bible
They could not turn back time
So what chance have I
Of a miracle
In this life of mine?
I only want one day
So unsay the things I said
Undo the thing I did
Twenty four little hours
Oh God please wipe them all away
And I promise I will change
If I could start today again
I know I'm not the milk and honey kind
Today I proved it true
But when the red mist falls around my eyes
I know not what I do
Please give me back today
And I won't say the things I said
Or do the thing I did
Every minute every hour
The replays just the same
And I can't stand the shame
Let me start today again
I only want one day
One lousy day
That's all
Of every day that's been before
Since time began
I know my prayer's in vain
But for a second I'll pretend
That I can start today again

Why does is song pinch my heart 😭

You're Amazing Paul, much love from the US.
I have always loved the song and the whole damn album.
That is the first time i have seen the clip.
That's *dark* ...
So sad! Such a beautiful song, Paul Kelly is a national treasure
this man is a national treasure should have to study his work at school.
Cannot listen to this without welling up. This and 'I close my eyes and think of you'.
Tell your Uncle ... I do appreciate his songs ... i can relate to his songs about regrets ... missed opportunities - youth .... and growing old ....thanks Mr Paul Kelly :-)

When the red mist falls around my eyes, I know not what I do...
living bloody legend. Love you Paul. You are the voice of humanity mate. Big Cheers!
Winfield blue!! used to love them. Damn, would not mind to have one again with this song! It will just top it up nicely for me.
"Geography is destiny"! Indeed; right place, right time!!!
Those are some mighty fortunate individuals!!!
WOW! GOOD on them! : )

one of my favourite songs ever to exist
Beautiful!
A master of songwriting, the BEST of Aussie.
I love this song
I think we all have those 24 hours we would like to take back..... :(

Yes. Me too
We all have problems. Ungorch
Love it....ON YA Paul .....Your an aussie legend
Truest song ever written.
America may have Bob Dillan but Australia has Paul Kelly! And to my mind Paul beats Bob hands down!!
Amazing song and lyrics
I thought she was dead, so glad she’s alive , Will he change., she should leave him.
She is dead. The last lines says he’ll pretend so he can start this day again.
this song is so much better than the video...
My fave!
Just Amazing...

National treasure.
YES!! That`s where I`ve seen him

Very good
really? i love vika and linda I'll have to buy a CD with it on or something thanks for the info
A great version that I have just heard for the first time.
Vika and Linda do a beautiful version of this song! Can't find it on UA-cam though so try elsewhere.
2001?
when was this song released..?
last night i had a dream that paul kelly came and met me. why did i have to wake up?
@RDKF13,
Umm...If you look at Paul Kelly's personal politics I think you may feel differently. I strongly doubt Mr. Kelly would accept a "knighthood" Order Of The British Empire or Commander Of The BE.
To me, it seems he'd want nothing to do with the Windsors and wouldn't buy into any elitist beliefs or values. He's emotionally intelligent, humble, kind, realistic, honourable and seemingly believes, wholeheartedly, in equality of all peoples.
There's no hierarchy if one is a Humanist.
lucky one doesn't have to like singer to enjoy their good songs.
haha they have improved thank you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful song but a weird and creepy video.
Hungry thirsty.
One person missed the Like button. Oops!
Very poignant.
I think she's emotionally depressed and/or drug/alcohol addicted and intoxicated.
