- With all this interest in Duffy at the moment its forced me to dig out some of my Bernard Butler videos .
Duffy related as ex Suede guitarist Bernard Butler is her song writer and producer as well as being a fantastic guitarist .
His songs always managed to bring out the best in Mc Almonts voice in thier partnership and they do the same for Duffy .
Im also a great lover of Phil Spector and Roy Wood style of "wall of Sound" productions and Bernard Butler seems to be able to always pull it off and remind me of that stuff.
One of the best and most accurate descriptions i ever heard was a music critic who said that when MacAlmont opens his mouth a cathedral falls out of it, his voice is amazing
One of THE most underrated songs of the last gazillion years. Bloody fantastic!
Blur? Oasis? THIS defined the 90's, for me.
Stunning song.
How can a breakup song sound so beautiful? Pure perfection.
This was my decade... and it will never come again.
Ever.
One of the best songs ever... Spector did this in his dreams... Butler is a hell of a producer but the voice of David McAlmont is where its at... this band deserved better than they got... 10 years too early I guess...
My neighbours are sick of hearing me try to hit these high notes as I sing-along-a-David! My favourite song ever....and glad to see Mr McAlmont with a bit of meat on his bones these days....BTW, his 2011 rendition of this is spectacular....
Is the greatest song of all time? YES
this will never get old, its pure genius.....
I never tire of this song. Loved it back in the day, and love it now. It still gives me goose bumps. Its the whole package, the voice, the strings, everything. One word..WOW
This song should be re-released it's brilliant. There is a lot of naff music and poor artist's around at the moment. True talent can stand the test of time and I'm sure there will be many people of all generations who will appreciate this fantastic duo.
I have been listening to this all day - it's incredible, the vocal, the arrangement, the crescendo, the swell of the song, it keeps going, the lyrics, the performance - that guy fascinates me.
This song is like transforming this world into heaven for like 3.59 mins. Everything so uplifted, flies and fluid. Why people don't make music like this nowadays.
One of my favourite all time songs. So much power in a song. Blows me away every time.
This song is glorious and it's very special to me in that it helped me through a tough time with a PSYCHOTIC ex-girlfriend who put me through hell! The chorus sums it up perfectly!
when he hits that note with the word "nooow" i get chills. amazing
Shivers up the spine every time i hear it. Fantastic
this is what music is all about. A great bass and keyboard backing, good rythm and great lyrics. It's a shame they don't make them kie they used to. Classic Tune.
That voice! A gift from God - straight up. He reminds me of Grace Jones, the way he moves. And genius writing. Those lyrics are just classic. Food for the soul. Wonderful. I am so with you on this, macca5678. Has got to be re-released. Pure, raw talent like this being left on the sidelines, with so much crap being played right now - it's just criminal.
this is probably the best song ever written and a fantastic singer as well ,,,,,,,,,,,,,my all time favorite
loved this for YEARS- the one song guaranteed to make me sing it out loud at the top of my voice - it is just so unusual and poweful!!! yeaheaheaheah!!!
Having seen them live at The Cockpit in Leeds I can vouch for how truly AMAZING David Mcalmont's voice sounds live..and what a great show the whole band put on!
Simply brilliant, how can anyone dislike this?!?
Love it love it love it. One of the only songs that can put a smile on my face even when Im feeling sad. QUALITY!!!!!!
Simply brilliant
A truly amazing vocal and song too. 10/10
Folds my heart every time I hear it...one of those tracks...
Bought this album (well tape ahem!!) when it first came out, my friends thought id lost the plot but i thought it was genius, it was ahead of its time. Amy, Duffy, Paloma take note!
Goosebumps from beginning to end...
Angelic voice, great production - absolutely underrated classic. And the song that defined my graduation
Wouldn't call it under-rated exactly.................one of the finest tunes of all time.
IMHO david mcalmont is possibly THE greatest lost secret in UK pop music in the last 15 years - truly ASTONISHING voice and never got the acclaim he deserved
used to love this when i was younger.. still do!
I'm in a hot room with the log fire blazing and this record still manages to send a chill down my spine...quite simply one of the greatest pop songs ever!
An absolute peach of a song! A beuatiful piece of music and lyrics. Came out at just the right time, and has spoken to me on many occasions ( Unfortunately) Actually, this is needs to be heard more, why does great music go unoticed! Grrrr
took me so many tears and years to find this gold,and its mine now forever,im so in love with this song,
Absolute classic .... wow!!
hairs on end here too - such an amazing voice
What a tune! Songs like this re,invigorate my passion for life! Don, t know why but it does
my favourite song of all time. literally! this needs to be re released.
David Mcalmont is touring next year I cant wait.
I loved this when it first came out. It would do well as a re-release. This sound is big at the moment.
Been many years since I've heard this and it still sounds great !
As good now as it was back then! Fantastic!
Loved this song for YEARS but have never seen a video of them before! Fantastic voice
Fantastic song. F A N T A S T I C performance.
This sums up all that is great about Bernard Butler- from the beautiful, sad, harrowing music of Dog Man Star to the beautiful, happy, upbeat music of 'Yes', in only a year.
What a stunning song
what a song!!!
just blows me away every time i hear it.
UTTERLY SUPERB!!
just stumbled across and heard this for the first time and im blown away! wot an artist and wot an amazing track! why cant we hear music like this any more? brilliant!!
I enjoy watching him sing.
bloody LEGENDS the pair of 'em. met them once in manchester on the comeback tour - really nice guys. bernard is THE finest guitarist of the britpop set and david has THE best voice in the chuffing world!
This was completely the soundtrack to my teens.
Fantastic Voice! I so wish I had a singing voice like his! Unfortunetly I sound like a geek when I sing!
quality tune. heard it on the radio today for the first time in years.
what a voice
fabulous! his voice is incredible :)
A real good feel sound,makes you feel good when you hear this sound
This blew me away the first time I heard it live on T.V. way, back..
Wonderful song + a real showcase both for McAlmont's vocals + Butler's production skills, though I think there's a massive nod in the direction of Phil Spector here.
@Megarapture..spot on!
Drag your attitudes into the 21st century..
Homophobia is a waste of time, redundant, pointless and above all, like racism and sexism a total yawn.
Who cares if he's gay?
Well, obviously still some bigoted, blinkered, gits!
this sends shivers through me...adore it..
The key change at 3:00 slays me every time - awesome!!
what an absolute gem
been looking for this tune forever
Yep, I remember this one very well, excellent song!
Lets get it re-released! What a song. Just epic and so makes you wanna sing out loud.
So great to find this on here- loved it when it came out, still love it.Just what I needed to hear right now- probably the best "f*ck you for dumping me" song ever....
Absoloute top notch feel good song.
Never fails to cheer me up !
The man sure has one hell of a voice
i remember bernard butler leaving suedeand thinking what the hell he's doin, he answered me with this classic though!!
Superb. Never fails to provide a lift.

i fkng love this tune
Love this song!
this song blows me away in so many different ways
Thank you Phantom FM in Dublin for turning me on to this great track.
I remember watching top of the pops with my blank tap in the video, making my compilations, it was hard work those days before youtube, I caught this song and played it to death,I haventt heard it in about 14, 15 years, but its a fantastic song,so nostalgic, thankyou
Soooo happy to have found this song again. I saw the video once on Z-TV in Sweden and never found out who they were or the name of the song. Then I never heard it again until now. Downloaded ripped and safely saved on 3 different hard discs, I even ordered a copy through Mp3va. Brilliant clip and great arrangement and McAlmont is a great singer.
Just brilliant..............no more needs to be said
What a TOP TUNE...... Brings back some memories.
im nearly 40, but i love this song sooo much complete classic xxx
Awesome! I never saw the video when it was originally released.
I love singing along to this this one...makes me feel great doing it....bit like when i sing along to Ben Folds Five " Song For The Dumped"!!
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you've got to offer
class
1.02-1.20 plus 1.55-2.30 = Quite simply pop perfection
Love it !
Even tho I know the singer is David McAlmont, I´m always surprised when I see the video and it´s a man singing!
yes i do feel better now ive heard this.WONDERFUL
No-one at work recognises this!? I thought it was a song absolutely everyone knew. Never realised it was a man singing though!
A classic and totally out of the blue for that period of time for music, especially from the ex suede guitarist hehe
What an amazing track, this takes me back to being in the last year of secondary school. It's such a soaring vocal, just class !!
absolutely love this song.
Not heard this for years...forgot how toe curlingly good it is. Love it...Cheers!
as gorgeous a melody as you will ever hear.
