    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.

    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?

    It has to be a great song when you hear it once and keep it on repeat for the whole week ! This song has some of the magic dust that fell on the Absent Friends album - in my humble opinion.Just awesome and then some.

    Saw them last night in Cork, Ireland.......bloody amazing!!! They played this track and Neil announced "it's about being in love and animal rescue"!. His wife, Cathy Davey, runs a horse charity here called "My Lovely Horse"....of course! If you get the chance to see them go....you won't be disappointed!

    Those little periodic electric guitar twangs make it for me, I'm so easily pleased. Also the lyrics, the strings and trumpet close to the end. But mostly just those twangs.
