I love this song. I don't know what it's about, and no one's likely to learn, but it's so beautiful, and it really shows me a more personal side of Charlie. A lot of people, myself included, see Charlie as always happy, and funny, and just bright, but this song kind of breaks that down, and shows that there're deeper things in him too :)
Following Charlie from the very beginning, this is the single most beautiful song he has ever written in my opinion. It always makes me emotional for some reason...
I've spent the last four days trying to understand this song. It's so CRYPTIC compared to his others.... Love it anyway, especially the last chorus where he goes up. O.O He is hoovering up my love.
Charlie says in the album booklet that the song is about a friend who had their priorities in a mix, and didn't understand how their actions could affect those close to them, even if they aren't involved in the situation.
I finished a question in my GCSE english exam, and it was all about writing an article about making decisions and their consequences. Right at the end of the exam I realized i could've used this song. I was so disappointed that I didn't figure that out sooner ):
In the booklet that came with the cd Charlie have written "This song isn't really about a girl called Melody, although it involves her. It's about a friend who, at the time, had their priorities in a mix, and who now, because of the song, completely understands how their actions can affect those close to them, even if they aren't involved in the situation."
I think she was a family friend about the same age she is going out "enjoying" her youth living in an apartment 45D. There both trying to grow up and she doing it diffrently than him. But she has the support of her family and there deep love. She did something she was ashamed of he cover it up around the hoildays he helped her out of it. And he's still think if he's ready to "grow" up and move on maybe not the same way she did but he still like the support she has given him
OK GUYS! this is obviously what happened: Charlie, who can time travel, went to the future to see the episode about Melody Pond. Charlie came back to our time and wrote & recorded the song. DUH!
I like how now looking back, this could almost be a trock song written from the Doctor to Melody Pond, but I know it's not because at the time it was written, the name "Melody" had not come into the series yet.
Just saying. This album was out in 2010, and this got uploaded on this channel in March 2011, but we find out about Melody Pond in June 2011. Just a note for those who don't watch DW and think that Charlie really wrote this for Melody Pond.
ok the story this painted in my head was a vivacious adventurous family friend who ran away from home and returned over the holidays. Not saying thats what happened, its just how I envision it
@Esllava1 Are you sure? I mean that fits, exept for the lines "All I want is to be honest with you And say that just because I'm not involved Doesn't mean I'm not affected" And "And all I want is a girl Who will love me, like she loves you" I personally think it's about her fighting with her family.
@melina880 ive been working on it since the day the episode came out like litteraly it ended and i was like 8D. then i realized that my youtube downloader isnt working any more so i only have a very limited of clips with river in it

Wow, I hadn't heard this in almost a decade and I still remember the lyrics
The note he hits at 3:45 breaks my heart every time, and also gives us a glimpse I think of the kind of music he could develop into if he wanted to.
Charlie, you love her don't you? Whoever this melody person is, she's a very lucky girl.
I always cry at this song, I don't even know why 😭

NO dislikes .... I love charlie :)
I love that line "just because i'm not involved doesn't mean i'm not effected".
thank you for writing this song it makes me feel good about myself:)
Ah, a wonderful perk of being named Melody. :)

My second favourite song in his album. First is BREAD!!!
OMG!!!~! Charlie, I love yoooou! You're so amazing!
Charlie says in the album booklet that the song is about a friend who had their priorities in a mix, and didn't understand how their actions could affect those close to them, even if they aren't involved in the situation.
This is one of my favourite songs
This song is happy and sad at the same time. Awesome. I love you, Charlie!
I love playing the uke along with this song. :]
This song is really amazing and ridiculously quote-able
This is adorable.
I miss this Charlie
This really puts a smile on my face :)
Favorite song on this album
My favorite part for some reason is when he says, "And I would give up my sight to know love like the love you have at home." ;o;
So thankful for Charlie
Love this song! I still remember when I heard it for the first time when I was 8.
Lol but the way he says Melody, like "Melady" 😅
My name is Melody so I feel special :3
Omg! I remember your comment years ago and thinking, "I will write this one day!" :')
I just had an hour drive home in the rain from work and listened to this song on repeat. Love it so much..... :D
This is by far my favorite song from Charlie
i love this song soo much
aaaah, I love that part after 3:42 ! God!
This song pulls at my heart strings so much :)
I've had this written on my hand for 2 days
I finished a question in my GCSE english exam, and it was all about writing an article about making decisions and their consequences. Right at the end of the exam I realized i could've used this song. I was so disappointed that I didn't figure that out sooner ):
I'm so happy I can play this on my ukelele now :D
ugh dat note at 3:44. SO GOOD.
In the booklet that came with the cd Charlie have written "This song isn't really about a girl called Melody, although it involves her.

i miss you 😭
This is so beautiful... Why does this always make me cry?
Dude, if he made another album with these kind of songs I would scream. And I'm a guy.
I always listen to this song not matter what
Favourite song :)
Oh this brought me back to year 7
I think she was a family friend about the same age she is going out "enjoying" her youth living in an apartment 45D. There both trying to grow up and she doing it diffrently than him.

And thank you so much for the HQ version. The one I was listening to was freaking terrible.
I learned this on ukulele and litteraly cant stop playing it because it is so fun to play
OK GUYS! this is obviously what happened:
Charlie, who can time travel, went to the future to see the episode about Melody Pond. Charlie came back to our time and wrote & recorded the song.
DUH!
I like 3:42 the most. Everytime i hear it it gives me chills
3:43 WHOA ♥
THIS SONG IS FOR MELODY POND!!!!

Amazing Song BTW
Aww thats cool!! :) :D Aww sweetttt

very cute!
Adorable :3
McDonnell has VEVO?!?! what has this world come to? -___-
If you love her Charlie, I'm going to be so very jealous!
❤️💜💙
Yes, this song has a whole different meaning, seeing the recent developments in Doctor Who :)
MELODY AS IN RIVER LIKE POPND AMY SONG MELODY RAAAAH
ok the story this painted in my head was a vivacious adventurous family friend who ran away from home and returned over the holidays. Not saying thats what happened, its just how I envision it
3:38 to 3:48 you can hear the emotion
When its raining- Turn the music up, and get lost in charlie's sexy voice and beautiful eyes :)
45D...wow ;) sounds totally legit
=O this is the song played at the end of the bread video =D
My names Melody, so this makes me feel special... even though I know it's not actually about me.. =/
45D was the house they stayed at during the holiday actually
love 3:44-3:51!!!
aww!! :3
Silence will fall when I stop talking... Because when I do it's because extremely awkward.
@busybeingbla no its just that one of the main characters on doctor who was named melody
MY NAME IS MELODY HOLY CHEESE
Agreed.
@x3madcandyxD YOU TOO!!! HOLY CROW!!! I didn't know anyone else that had the same name as me!! My name is Melody also!!! Hehehehehe, I'm happy now. :)
this one's my favourite which is ironic because I have no idea what it's about
@Esllava1 Are you sure?
I mean that fits, exept for the lines
"All I want is to be honest with you
And say that just because I'm not involved
Doesn't mean I'm not affected"
And
"And all I want is a girl
Who will love me, like she loves you"
I personally think it's about her fighting with her family.
@melina880 ive been working on it since the day the episode came out like litteraly it ended and i was like 8D. then i realized that my youtube downloader isnt working any more so i only have a very limited of clips with river in it
hooow the hell do you know this ? :D
you made me laugh :)
What is this song about? Please someone replie i can't work it out.
@missannacole Spoilers!
...that was supposed to be a Doctor Who reference, right?
@princessyrandom1214 was there another version before this one?
i think he means and apartment room like floor D room 45. i dont know if thats right i have never lived in a apartment.
Is the second melody the musical thing or a name?
Golden Butterfly YES!
@Catherine Reed I meant it in a mental sense. Like, we're so alike, I wouldn't be surprised if somehow, someway, we were twins at some point.
How did you find this out?
You've probably answered this question before, but why a fake VEVO channel?
