Neil Hannon never stops being creative.

i am a 23 year old guy from the philippines and the divine comedy has been one of the best discoveries in my life these past few years! heard foreverland album by chance and i just had to stan

Such an underrated band. Every line of every song is crafted with purpose and some super catchy stuff like this, national expres and something for the weekend

00:07 That reminds me, in 2016 I went to Vienna and wanted to recreate the Fin de Siecle album cover, but I couldn't find the monument where the photo was shot (I was very close). I went again this year and found it, but now the monument was covered and protected because there was construction around it. I guess the third time will have to be the charm!

I love Neil, one of the best lyricists around and great live and a great sense of humour.

Something for the weekend😉

Neil always finds subjects to write and sing about which touch on our lives. This is an anthem for us all as we get older and look back on what we have done - good and bad, right and wrong. At the end of the day we can't regret our actions but just live with and lean from them. Sums it all up.

Neil Hannon is like a fine wine!

"I've been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake. And I don't regret a single take..." I'm madly in love with this line. Cheers from the states & thank you for the music.

What a wonderful song. Brings tears of joy and speaks to the heart of anyone who’s lived a bit and survived it all. Absolutely agree - if I had to choose, I’d choose now too!

Still got it after all these years. One of the greatest gigs i went to, seeing them live at the Royal Festival Hall with a full orchestra (a short album about love).

I'm so in love with this song and the band love from Saudi Arabia 💕

This is gonna be a certified hood classic! Edit: THIS HAS BEEN A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC HOLY SHIT!!

Je pense que c'est un des meilleurs groupe de musique de son temps. I think they are one of the best music band of their time.

Love the Divine Comedy and love this song: "I choose now"-words to live and love by.

Only just found out about this band and all I can say is awesome. Just bought one of their cds.

Happy to discover The Divine Comedy about 14 years ago. Neil's music is never disappointing! It's also a kind of anti-depression therapy.😊🌿

(Mark here) This beautiful new song has sent my spirit soaring, what a wonderful thing it is to write and perform songs of such wit, depth and assertation of being alive. Thank you Neil and please keep many more of these coming. Can't wait to see you in Ipswich!

love from japan.

Neil, you nurtered my childhood, my adolescence and my adulthood. You have my biggest thanks for that, as well as my admiration. Love from France.

Best mistake ever made: listening this song countless times on repeat

What a way to do an autobiography!

.....and love from munich / germany!

I'm out of words, i can't tell how i feel at the moment! An amazing song, music and lyrics as great as the clip itself with lots of little details and wonderful scenes! I'm in tears of joy, how beautiful work you all have done with this one, legendary masterpiece like the others! Thank you Neil and everyone who gave their time and effort on this project, it will be on loop everyday for months i'm sure! :)

I really love TDC. I found them a few years ago in a mexican radio and, in that moment, I didn't know that I was meeting something biggest. It's great to have them back

Wonderful new song! LOVE the lyrics. What a great band Divine Comedy are!

Cannot wait for it to become Feb. 4, 2022❗ Very much looking forward to this release 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant! am I the only one who thought it would be Divine Comedy bloopers though?!! probably!!

The Divine Singer of these two centuries 😻

Neil has to be one of the most consistent performers ever, he still continues to be great even after all this time.

No but this is making me so so emotional 😭 Beautiful, gorgeous track. Neil, you're a superstar, thank you for being you xx

This is the second time I've listened to this song and think I'll be playing this many more times as it seems to sum up parts of my life 😉👍❤️

YES! Mr Hannon, new music from you is one of life's great treasures 🙌🏼

My life story in words

Well, I just love that to bits! Neil, I adore you! Please don’t EVER leave us!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Quite simply a masterpiece. So refreshing to hear some great new music and lyrics. This kicks most of today's tedious music into oblivion. Stumbled upon this on radio 2 where they always seem to add good new releases to their playlist , unlike many other radio stations.

Ohhhhhhhhhh that VOICE ❤❤❤❤❤

Fittingly this new gem from DC echoes a quote by Giacomo Casanova : 'one who makes no mistakes makes nothing' .

Love it! Familiar, yet he always remains fresh! Maybe it’s just be, but a tad Abba-like.

That chorus.... Neil does Abba 😀

Neil is so awesome

The ever brilliant Neil H proves he is still top of his game. A lovely trip for Divine Comedy followers as well with the video footage reminding us of the journey we have shared together over the years. Bravo

Well this is lovely

The newest gem in King Hannon's crown. That thing must weigh TONS by now......:-)

Sublime ❤❤❤

Sublime. A simply wonderful song. Hannon is a genius. So under rated and hopefully he’ll now reach the wider audience he deserves.

Absolutely love his unusual voice and the latest I think Hit, The Best Mistakes. The lyrics are so special and the orchestra is wonderful too.

あーもう大好き😂25年前の記憶が❤

Cannot wait!

Love, Love this song. Played it hundreds of times. So good.

i love this

Yea that was brilliant

Can't wait to see him in May. Have loved The Divine Comedy for years. 😍

his voice always makes me happier LOVE IT

Absolutely Gorgeous! 🤩 👏

I Choose Now! That's you and me both, Neil. ; ) Fantastic song! And so life-affirming.

What a band. Just revisited Regeneration via my CD Box set... Wow!

Saw you guys in Cork in May of 2022, I just want to thank my mum for introducing me to you. You’re criminally under appreciated!

Without doubt the most entertaining front man within the last two decades ….. his song writing and live performances are timeless masterpieces…… if you haven’t seen TDC live then suggest you do …. Music with humour at its best and they have toured and entertained Europe in some fantastic venues…. Can’t wait to hear you soon …. Thanks for the memories so far

Woo hoo. Waiting with anticipated breath! Can’t wait until 7pm. This I’m sure will be superb 🎉

Good song and looking forward to the album, can’t wait to have your Spanish Eurovision isolation song to play from an album rather than playing it through KZfaq, very funny and incredibly catchy and deserved a proper release, hoping for more like this 👍🏻

So looking forward to this!

i love how 90s this song actually sounds, like its a throwback both lyrically and musically. super fun!!!

Love the intro 😎

Neil hannon forever 💖

Quite simply magnificent (as always).🙏☀️🇬🇧🌻🐾🙏

Absolutely adorable. Love from Serbia ❤️

Omg...yes!!

Flippin' Eck Counting the minutes, sir!

Thank you Neil! It is so good and touching! 😊

Lovely song xx

You've done it again Neil! Sweet, witty music for everyone's souls. THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC THESE PAST 3 DECADES & HERE'S TO MORE FUN FROM HEREON IN! BIG LOVE TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY.

Holy crap. That’s absolutely BRILLIANT! I love the video. This will be an ear worm for sure. Superb. Bravo Neil 👏🏻♥️♥️

Menos mal que estáis de vuelta! Mucho ánimo y suerte con la gira! Nos vemos en el concierto!

I love this. And all of his music. ❤️👍🖖

All his material is good

My goodness, you are brilliant! I love your music to bits. There is always joie de vivre to it, something that never fails to make me feel optimistic

Simply divine.

Lovely stuff

It's been 20 years following Neil. Still on the loop.

I can't wait for the 26th of April now. I feel like 23 years ago listening for the first time at college. Excellent!

A 007 song awaits surely!! "The best life we've ever had" ♥

Bravo Neil! I adore the sentiments and the memories - what a delightful composition.

I've thumbed the dog-eared pages of my paperback life Re-read confusing passages that never worked out right All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here All the fights and late night conversations All the wasted tears Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made (The best mistakes I've ever made) I've tried to throw the past out I've tried to shed my skin (shed my skin) But the days go by so fast now I kind of like remembering The young man sitting at the station in a world of his own The new sound, the overnight sensation Flying so high that I couldn't let go Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made They were the best mistakes I've ever made I did my time on the merry-go-round And if I had to choose between then and now I'd choose now All the muddles and miscommunications that landed me here All the fights and late night conversations All the wasted tears Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I'm not an angel, but then again I'm no fake (wasted tears) And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made Well I have made my fair share of mistakes I've been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake And I don't regret a single day They were the best mistakes I've ever made (The best mistakes I've ever made) They were the best mistakes I've ever made 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Amazing

New material from Neil is always a pleasure for the lugholes. Great song and a career retrospective in 4½ minutes of wonderful video. Great work good sir.

What a legend and what a masterpiece! We love you Neil

Love him 💚🍀👍

Great lyrics, great tune and great melody, waited for what seems like a long time for this and well worth the wait.

Forget the National Express - Neil is a national treasure.

Blown away! Impeccable, sublime, as always. Diolch, Neil.

Happy memories in Madrid. Hope to see you soon, Sir

Eyyyy lesgoooo!

Can not wait !!!

Wonderful.

Amazing song, great and just fantastic to listen to with joy! Thankyou! Go on .. and let us allow to make mistakes ..

great meody great lyrics great voice great song💥

"They were the best mistakes I've ever made!" ... oh yes! Those words could come from my mouth.

Of all the artists that I love and most are dead, @divinecomedy are one of my favs #congrats for being alive and brilliant 😊

Didn't think that I could love Neil Hannons songwriting, singing and eloquence more, but I just did
