Almost 20 years on and this song still causes such a delicious ache in my soul

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.

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.

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.

The piano intro of this song simply proves what a great musical talent BDB is

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

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

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

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.

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 ❤️

one of them songs that you just dont want to end

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.

OMG hope everyone can appreciate this marvellous song as much as me. Xx

What a great lesson. If we all heal our bad memories and replace them with loving ones, our issues will fade away....

I absolutely love love this song. It's a me song i think. Repeat loop and grinning lopsidedly through an ocean of time.

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.

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’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

great underrated songwriter

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..

This video always makes me cry... I never cry watching music videos.

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.

Brilliant song!! Just saw this film for the first time and this song just grabbed me.

Would be nice to replay life with a happy ending sometimes

Came across this classic tune after 15 years! Never grows old.

Great film. Great song.

this may sound a bit wrong but i want this as my funeral song,it's lovely.

Still moves me 2000 years later 😊

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.

this song/video still moves me 14 years later

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

Probably seen this video 200 times and still cry when the duck gets run over.

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

what a genius. So many amazing tracks in his back catalogue.

who's watching this master peace in 2021, i wish they can heal us that way ...

there is just something about his songs that hits me and i can't do anything but sit and watch, i love everything about his man and songs.

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 song is like a time machine. In 2000 years this song will sound as good as year 1.

about a boy brought me here, really glad :)

The emotions this song brings

"are we having duck? how lovely!" lmao about a boy is an awesome film. and this is a great song love it

yes. such a beautiful vibe floating throughout and never goes stale.

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.

I miss late 90s / early 2000s music

It's strange to think 2002 was 13 years ago. Fuck.

My favourite video of all time by far. And I'm 43 so I remember all the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s. :)

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 :(

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.

One of the best nostalgic tracks ❤

Whose watching this in 2018 '?' time flies ...

Hey anyone else propelled forward into 2020?

Get up from the screen, turn the sound up and dance like no one's watching. You'd amaze yourself at what your body expresses to this absolute treasure of a song.

Great song just watched it on itv never heard this song full blare til today now I’m obsessed with it

He always makes me smile and feel good inside

i HAD to find this song after seeing "about a boy". love this song!

Have been searching for this song for years, then i watched about a boy again and boom, there it is 😁

Here I am in 2020..knew he was brilliant 20 years ago..

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.

De verdad, no me canso de escuchar esta canción. Pone de buen humor a cualquiera que la escuche.

ojala se pueda retrocer el tiempo..... esta cancion es sublime y siempre lloro...2024... sera que tiene mas amor un robort que el humano.......para pensar.

What a great composer and artist, I admire his content and sounds 💪🤗 superb

Música nostálgica, muito bela em todos sentidos! O tempo voa, parece q foi ontem que escutei essa música pela primeira vez...

Such such such quality in just 4:54 . . . just a bit more time than it takes to make a perfect cup of tea.

Good souls are the ones who treats "lesser" beings well and shows them kindness. Every life matters in reality, to say only people. matter is such conceit and narcissism. Animals don't come anywhere close to the evil we inflict upon the world daily.

One of my favourite films of all time. With a brilliant soundtrack :)

What a great song! I find it so relaxing =)

Awesome song👍

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.

aquí recordando viejos tiempos con los clásicos....este track es buenisimo!!!!

Such a great tune

that's a really incredibly insightful comment. I am an insomniac, OCD freak, and I find myself having to devise ways to fall asleep. Singing this song is my best strategy so far. It wipes the slate clean, allows me to reconcile my bad decisions... Thank you for helping me find perspective.

Perhaps the greatest song ever written

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

Años 2020 :'3 sigue siendo mi canción favorita ❤️

I like the fact that this song floats and shuffles at the same time.

Great song and beautiful sentiment in the video.

me and my sister used to beg my dad to play this song for us years ago. damn…

amo esta cancion

Still love this song.. makes me feel so positive.

This just reminded me of when I was first married, and my Italian wife loved BDB, and I'm a wee bit teary now!

A beautiful song but an amazing band. Such a calming song with great lyrics, wonderful :)

mi song favorite,me encanta..mexico

Absolutely love this song!

this is one of my favorite movies....brilliant. And the soundtrack-GREAT

"Oh. Are you a professional Santa?"

que hermosa canción, suave, exquisita y amorosa...:)

This was the first song at our wedding, beautiful ditty. Thanks for posting it on.

god i love this song so much. its become a classic for me. i like how surreal and dreamy it is.

2019from japan

2019!

I love this song; beautiful video also.

I fell in love with this!!

Who's watching this in 4002?

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

Dude, i just can't watch this without falling apart in tears.

I love the film, I can relate to being the only child with the mum who's a bit loco and just wanting a father figure in my life. Badly drawn boy provides the perfect soundtrack

"THERE MY SECOND FAVOURITE ANIMAL, APART FROM DOLPHINS OF COURSE THEY CAN KILL SHAKRS WITH THERE NOSES" AHAHAH

Great band.....the end
