I remember I used to listen to this song in our car every time our family were going on a trip when I was about 4-5 years old! Never thought i'd find this song again, but I did! It brings back the memories! I'm here now as 18 years old, I've missed this song! ❤️😄
10 years ago I was in a long distance relationship with a man who lived in London. I used to listen to this song every single time I took the coach down to see him. It always made me feel sad but I also felt compelled to listen to the song every time, not quite knowing why, it's a difficult feeling to describe. I think it's because I knew deep down we weren't right for each other, but I also loved him, and the song seems to connect to that feeling about mismatched couples and broken hearts and hope. The song still gives me this kind of sick feeling of doom in my stomach that I used to feel about that relationship, at the same time as giving me hope for the future and for finding the right person.
Bruh, i love this comment. Funny how songs are tied to people in such wildly differing ways. For me this song will always take me back to my early teens, it came out while me and my family were on holiday camping in Wales. I was flicking through the channels on the wind up radio we took with us, and this came on. We all ADORED it and I spent the rest of the weekend spinning the radio over and over searching for it again, got lucky a few times and so its completely tied to that for me and my family whenever it comes on in our house.
@D Jones That's such an interesting way of looking at it, you're right, thanks. I just re listened to it and it made me think that in a different life or in a different timeline perhaps me and this man would have been right for each other, but for various reasons in this lifetime we just weren't, and my heart and gut kept trying to tell me that by telling me to play this song, but it took me a while to face up to how I really felt because I cared about him a lot and enjoyed his company and didn't want to end what seemed like a mostly good relationship. It was very painful, but I felt and still feel relieved that I set us both free. I hope he is happy and settled with a woman who feels happy with him and doesn't have a knot in her stomach about their relationship the way I did.
@@tomjones688 It seems to be a song that really connects to people and stays with them. That sounds like a great memory with your family and it's nice that you still listen to it.
@D Jones Thanks, I am open to meeting someone again, I'll see what happens, hopefully I will know when I have met him and I won't feel a knot in my stomach this time.
It's just a relationship. If it's any good it will last, despite the split. You can still stay friends you know. Or you'll get back together, Or it'll burn out. Whatever...Relationships are two edged swords really. My advice? Look at the heart. You want someone with a good heart - not just a good heart for you personally, but a good heart in general. And the better the heart you find, the happier you'll be. Took me nearly 50 years to appreciate that.....
This is exactly, what I just thought. I had the honor to experience Amy in December 2022 at the Night of the Proms in Hamburg. For me, this act was an absolute highlight. Amy comes on stage - and dominates it. Only a few artists manage to do that. And her music? Just amazing!
Just heard this in my hairdressers earlier. It nearly made me cry and it's such a brilliant song, even now in 2023! She's so talented. I got to see her play about 5 years ago maybe with Simple Minds and Chrissie Hynde. She's fantastic live. This will be my new ear worm for the next week, and for once I won't mind!
I grew up listening to this song during my teenage years. This song encapsulates the simple complications that people are all about. Such powerful lyrics! Such a voice! This song is a legend in my book.
Played the album on loop the year my marriage ended. Heard a track the other day and burst into tears. Back to hear the uplifting tracks and make peace with the past.
Those lines. "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you, when time was still on my side". Bitter sweet memories of this song. My children and I used to sing this all the time! My then wife and I were on rocky ground at the time and this would help with the hurt...🙏🏾🤎
Yeah, I used to be Mr Rock 'n' Roll - DJ supreme - thought I was going to make waves. Instead I barely made a ripple. And now at 76 I'm listening to Amy Macdonald and grateful there are still people around who can write and perform meaningful music like this. Thank you Amy - you are wonderful.
A long time ago, back when this song was new, my mum had a CD of it. So when I was younger, this was the song I used to hear whenever mum drove me anywhere, which means that most of my childhood memories are intertwined with this song. It was only by rewatching an old videotape of my family trip to Scotland (from 2012) that I was able to find this eventually, and I’m happy that it’s still just as good of a song as I remember.
This song is emotionally connected to my heart. Away from other songs this song will always be evergreen because of the memories that has been given by someone ❤️.
A very special song for me. Life, dreams, romance, hope, loss, and being alone, it is all in this song and the guitar play and background violins only add to the beauty of this song.
Just seen a local Fb pub going live with a fab band singing Amy, This Is The Life. Now I’m down the YT rabbit hole reminiscing about Amy and this time in my life! Love it ❤️
I was 22 when this song came out. I'd been having a bad time in my life but things really took off in the summer: I went to my first festival and I found myself surrounded by good people and was able to live how I wanted to (not just at the festival, but life in general). This is one of the songs I associate with that transition period.
Fell in love with this song and her. One of my all time artist. 19 and auctioned with this song, amazing. Even at that age, she knew what direction she was heading.
It’s me back from when the album released, just wishing you the best but plz plz plz plz please please please drop another album like this, I love you Amy
I remember this album drops and i was in London with my dad cause he had some business there, and i would put my earphones and this album on repeat and walk in London streets just amazed how beautiful and magical that city is.
Brilliant song, it came on in a restaurant in berwick i was in with my young daughter, we were both clapping away to it and the happy vibes of the whole place from the song where just immense! Love it 🙋♂️❤️😊
Listening to this amazing singer and her great voice ❤️ 😍 and this beautiful song in 2024!!
One of the favorite songs of my dad. Who now listens to it in Heaven. Thank you Amy - love from Italy
The first time I heard it, I was travelling to my mum's funeral.
I'm an Atheist, and after my death I won't ever hear it again.
Much love to you 😊
God, her voice!!! Goosebumps.

This lady could sing to me for the rest of my life and I would never tire from her voice. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
That voice and those eyes ...
I liked her more here, not so skinny and no tatoo s , aaaaaagh but gorgeous voice ofcourse.
Amy MacDonald and her music is my favourite so far in this century. Find it refreshing. Folk rock at it's best...It says so much.
Interessante
Released 15 years ago and still sounds fantastic today, great song x
She’s really wonderful! I love her music and she inspires me. Her music makes me happy 😊 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Music is Music , i can sit in a bar in Dumbarton and enjoy the local singing , no matter the quality :)))
It's like the sun rising when the guitar starts to come through
Absolutely brilliant and lovely voice
This song still hits me so hard each time. It's so deep and the characters described are so much myself.
Still sounds as good in 2024 as it did when first released 😊
Played the album on loop the year my marriage ended. Heard a track the other day and burst into tears. Back to hear the uplifting tracks and make peace with the past.

Sorry for you loss rest in peace😢😢
I was traveling from Poland this week and heard this song in Bolt, I loved it. Since then all her songs are on repeat in my playlist.
Those lines. "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you, when time was still on my side". Bitter sweet memories of this song. My children and I used to sing this all the time! My then wife and I were on rocky ground at the time and this would help with the hurt...🙏🏾🤎
Nothing better than a scottish lass belting out a good tune, such a cracking "feel good" song. love this
listen to this if you feel sad ...over and over..and you'll see the magic happen
Yeah, I used to be Mr Rock 'n' Roll - DJ supreme - thought I was going to make waves. Instead I barely made a ripple. And now at 76 I'm listening to Amy Macdonald and grateful there are still people around who can write and perform meaningful music like this. Thank you Amy - you are wonderful.

Yes true x
I love your music, Amy Macdonald.
Scotland should be very proud of Ms MacDonald.
We are
The true "Flower of Scotland"!
Did you know that my pharaonic grandmother was the founder of Scotland?
Неllo from Russia!
We are
" I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before" is a heartbreaking line.
"I wish I'd known you - I wish I'd known you before" would have sounded so much better though!
Wtf
Queeny is down with that belter off a tune
Tune
The entire chorus is pure heartbreak.
This is brilliant song Amy can sing her heart out for Scotland beautiful girl beautiful song thankyou Amy for this classic.
Incredible tune from an incredible Scottish singer.
Diese Frau ist einfach nur der Hammer mit ihren wundervollen Titelen

Still say this is one of the best songs ever. Its a film, even if you cant see the video. Superb....and hints at lifes sadness.
Golden age of pop music, 2000-2013 is the best period for me of pop music. Masterpiece near This is the Life.
