I was going through a hard time with my divorce and the death of my father a couple years ago. My big brother said “come let’s go out and cheer you up. I’ve got a spare ticket for a concert tonight come with me. Divine comedy at the london palladium” I went and had the most amazing time. Tomorrow, I bury my brother. He was more like my father. I love you brother.

Sorry for your loss, Joe. Your brother obviously had good taste and I'm glad you were lifted by going to see The Divine Comedy live. I'm lucky enough to play guitar in the band. I was looking at this clip to remind me of a great time we had on this tour. Love and light to you and your family.xx

I never used to like this band - I always thought Neil Hannon was a bit pompous... but then I saw them playing Rescue on Jools Holland. Honestly, I had to watch it at least 5 times in a row and I've never deleted it from my TV box, nor ever will. Now I'm discovering beautiful music and lyrics from the Devine Comedy that I've missed all these years. Such wonderful love songs. Certainly want to see them live.

An exceptional song which continually surprises me because of 'when' it comes from. This could grace any of Neil's 90's albums, the decade when he produced heart-wrenching true beauty and almost no garbage. The rest of Foreverland, from which this song comes, is not very memorable but is a lot better than the atrocious Office Politics. I think To The Rescue is my favourite The Divine Comedy song. I didn't think he was still capable of songs this good. Perhaps he began it in the 90's?

Most melancholic song ever written. It's about his friend who saves abused/neglected horses, but lyrics work on a few levels: could be about trying to rescue someone you love, or about our medical heroes or mountain rescue heroes.. our teachers or social workers... or more philosophically...about injustice... and even a hint of a call to revolution.
