If only there were more songs like this , such great story telling. You can almost see the entire night unfold as if really there . Few songs can achieve this , excellent.

Despite thinking myself a longtime fan of The Divine Comedy, and even slightly being mates with someone who was a sometime member, this song has only properly registered with me today. And this is an utterly, utterly breathtaking version. Wow.

heard this at work unloading a truck ...can't believe I have never heard of this song or artist...brilliant story telling

An unappreciated person music that is from the heart. When you listen to this song, you think of your own lost loves 😢

Love that phrasing of the reveal "no longer then..."

An underrated artist with an underrated song. Neil Hannon: one of the best in the whole pop universe.

Just superb, full of witty allusions and a beautiful tune. I love this guy's music.

I've always loved this song but this live version with the beautiful backing vocal just blew my mind.

I don't know where I was when this song first appeared. I discovered it on Amazon Music last week and have played it at least a dozen times since then. I even played it for my wife this morning via Alexa. 'Alexa, play Our Mutual Friend by Divine Comedy...' She (my wife) loved it too. It's operatic, hypnotic, poignant, humourous (love the nod to Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual') and the waves of different musical strands interweaving throughout and leading up to the dramatic 'last scene' are just beautiful. When I found out Neil Hannon also wrote 'My Lovely Horse' and the theme music for Father Ted, that sealed the deal.

Just loved this from the first time I heard it.

What an oboist!

This musical masterpiece is surely the work of a modern day Mozart

I have no words that could do this justice. I only heard it for the first time three days ago and have listened to it on repeat since then.

Heart breaking but so, so wonderful. 💔 this song is incredible

Una maravilla , la tragedia de ver nacer y morir el verdadero amor en una sola noche....la cancion es hermosa ...la historia es genial...

only now i paid attencion and listened the female vocal. Uau!. Beautiful. music beautiful, touch me.

This guy has vision and realises it

Thw fairytale of music. Same feelings when someone hears it in Spain, in Argentina, in UK.

This is a song of an angel while he watches the hell,below him!

This song is exceptional.
