The hour of the bewilderbeast
What an album pure nostalgia would give anything to be back there with the experience of life I have now. Too many years around the sun. Such is life.
Peace Love Empathy.
“would give anything to be back there with the experience of life I have now.” to be young, naive, but with even more urgency to enjoy life… forget rockets to the moon, what I wouldn’t do to turn back time
Absolutely,one of those songs,which was a soundtrack to your life at the time.
brilliant song.
It took me sixteen years to find this song. I used to have it going round in my head and I'd hum it to bemused people, it was driving me mad, the lost song. Finally heard it playing in a shop and practically jumped on the counter to demand what was playing. What an absolutely amazing song :)
The whole album is a masterpiece: "The Hour Of Bewilderbeast" ruclips.net/p/PL94211D3CB9DC4596
You know the same thing has happened to me. I knew it was BDB so I Googled Badly Drawn Boy's best song played it on RUclips (NOW!! )and here it is!!
lols.... glad you found it
Im glad you found it man!! I have had similar experiences with other songs, some of which I've still not.found but haven't lost hope.

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME.
Hard agree
I agree saw him twice live , great artists
Yes
Facts
Absolutely. 2000 was a simpler time.
This could be on repeat forever and it would never get old.
Yes! When I'm driving in my car and listening to this wonderful song during the whole ride, just so special..
Seeing old these tired buckets driving round takes me back, never thought id miss home this much
Brings a tear to my eye , so melancholy yet uplifting . Never gets old .
totally :)
nostalgia never gets old
Haha does the same to me
Try the rest of his catalogue for more of the same vibe...
it makes me feel happy and sad at the same time
If you're ever having a bad day go out in your car for a drive and play this loud and I guarantee it will cheer you up x
I think this was the first YT vid I ever searched awh ;)
Have you seen the gazprices?
This is what me and my sister do to this exact song. Summers day out flying through Yorkshire moors. Think about these moments a lot ❤
And not get your braces locked after necking off.
@@katypryke5052The Yorkshire Moors - many happy memories driving through with my son!
"Take a left,
A sharp left
And another left, meet me on the corner
And we'll start, again."
Simple yet beautiful.
possibly the greatest guitar sound
I was a freshman in high school when this would come on MTV2. I woke up every morning to this song. It's melody is so special to me! I spent the last 2 decades hoping to hear this song again! I'm so happy I found it!
:)
Yes MTV2. Freshman year for me too (albeit 4 years later)
🆒 I was in getting out of middle school when this came out. ❤
Just danced to this with my new wife as our first dance at our wedding! :D x
benclarke2ky Nice!
+benclarke2ky Smile to my face. It's a brilliant relaxed, feel-good song.
+benclarke2ky Awesome original choice for first dance, kudos!
Hope you will still be dancing to it 60 yrs hence :)
benclarke2ky class choice
I love that he uses waltz time so much. Waltz time just has a feel that no other timing has.
I heard this for the first time on Sunday when I went to my local pub for a roast. It was so loud in there, I walked across the room to Shazam it and have been obsessed ever since. I can see why so many people feel that it is timeless. It really invokes a nostalgic feeling from my childhood in the UK and I’m grateful that even though I’m late to the party, I’m here none the less.
An old friend showed me this song and years ago, it was one of his favorites. Last week he jumped in front of a train, we still don't know why. Rip bud - We are always with you x
Rest in peace to your friend I hope you are well and strong
Sorry for your loss rip
Sending my condolence
So sorry
It's one of the best songs ever made.❤❤❤I hope he knows this. I know exactly where i was 1999 ,when i first heard this. brilliant x
Some nice forgotten old cars in this video, including a rather tired looking Austin Ambassador, a Talbot Sunbeam, a Toyota Starlet and a rather beautiful Rover SD1 V8 Vanden Plas!
I’ve always loved this song. I was 12 years old when this album released and i just had to have it!! I remember, like it was yesterday, raiding my piggy bank and walking the 5 miles to my nearest Woolworths to buy this after school one day. I walked all the way home in the pouring rain, but it didn’t matter, i was the happiest kid on the planet. Hearing this song makes me feel 12 years old and full of joy again. Not many songs can do that to a person.
Best part of Woolworths was the chart music section, and of course the pick 'n' mix sweets!
Great in Choice in music mate
XFM brought me here, thanks Ricky, Steve and Karl for introducing me to this song!!
The entire album is brilliant
I heard this on MTV cribs back in 2004.... after endless searching on forums and playlists.... Today I finally found it!!!!
One of the best songs ever.
So glad One Day brought me here. It was background montage music and I had to know what it was. Thank you One Day
Best melody ever written. That one melody is enough to carry the whole song and is still fascinating and uplifting after years of listening!
You quiver like a candle on fire....what an a opening line! 🔥
It doesn't get any better than this. Thank you for the genius Badly Drawn Boy.
There's so much ambiance in this song....feels classy n classic
golden brown by the stranglers is a good one if you like this ;)
That melody sends me over the rainbow every time. Thank you Damon
Saw him twice in a church in cork Ireland, great sense of humor and entertainer
2:09 - this breakdown here might be one of the most perfect stretches of music ever written
Like many of you... when I hear this song, my heart just soars and swoons... absolute triumph and heartache in four minutes and three seconds. As the brits say, brilliant 👏
Just fantastic. When life was far simpler.
Best love song ever written. Period.
This song is so brilliant. It is simple but has a Burt Bacharach touch to it.
This gives me huge nostalgia for the 00s! What happy and simple times to be alive
Badly Drawn Boy, Elliott Smith, Ben Lee, American Football, the Mountain Goats, Beta Band, etc. - this was a period of the 90's that truly had some special recordings by some fantastic artists.
I love your list and love for the era. Yet, there's SO MUCH more to list!! That's why it was so amazing! Almost daily, I say, "Where did all the poets go?!". There were so many brilliant songwriters in the 90's; especially lyrically.
Every comment under this song draws a tear to my eye. One of my favourite songs all time! Peace and Love to all x
Me too mate
Sometimes you forget about a song but you never forget how good it is when you remember it
Took me years to find this song... the nostalgia is insane! Love these indie songs!
thought I would end the year with a classic, love this song
You have taste 4 sure Rob. 👍👍👍👍
Maybe if you listen to it again we can all go back?
I downloaded this on Napster way back when and it was the first track on the burned cd. I listen to this song all the time. How sweet.
ahhh that riff.....summertime delight....
Quite simply, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever produced ❤
Great song with a very jazzy arrangement. Still one of my favorite music videos of all time !
Love this song. It's filmed in and around Erith, Slade Green, Thamesmead and so on in South East London. The opening is in Boundary Street, Erith. The block he leaves is where my doctors surgery used to be! Very nostalgic for me.
個人的に永遠の名曲
何もすることなくてMTVずーっと見てた若い頃のやるせなさとバカバカしさと
それを全て俯瞰するように歌うこの人の淡々とした歌声
あの頃の青苦さがいつでも蘇ってくる
This is actually the sound of happiness
Lyrics = poetry & musical genius!
One of the best songs on this planet
Grew up listening to this amazing artist. Over 20 years later and it's still fresh and beautiful.
The best and most ferociously original single of the last 20 years. I will never tire of it.
*tired
"I will never tired of it"!? Come on Muhammad no one likes a bell end
Chortle! ...always good when a grammar nazi gets 'hoist by their own petard' :)
*Hoisted. lol.
*****
In England the term is ''hoist by their own petard'' not ''hoisted'' :)
Who here is an OG who bought the album in 2000? 🖐
I used to listen to this as a kid with my parents, just found it again, memories came flooding back
One of the greatest of all time this
It is!
I met Badly when he was touring the states around 02. Worked his show and became a fan for life. Can't imagine my 20s without his music
A forgotten gem
Dang, this brings back memories. Good shit.
Understated genius!
One of my all-time favourite songs......just be-a-u-ti-ful!!
This was my all time favorite song when I was 18 to drive around aimlessly with. Way back when they used to make good music and way before the current apocalypse began lol.
One of the best albums ever 😃
Put me in the line of happy people who've heard this for the 1st or 100th time. Back in the day, I drove from Oklahoma to Montana with 10 CDs. This track was always a highlight at a 2:00 pm smoke break, or fueling up in New Mexico at dawn. And so cool to now know a video came along for me now.
I love this story xx
This is a great comment
Oh to be in L O V E!!!!
Beautiful - Woke up and got this stuck in my head this morning, found myself on RUclips and here I am.
This speaks to the late 80s early 90s Generation X indie kids of love lost, won and unrequited - much of the latter in my experience!!!!!
It's normal life, not airbrushed Kardashian and Love Island crap.
How did we get here from great stuff like this?
A grumpy middle aged man (almost) now but we really DID have the best music.
It was a great era of music to live through and, well I played it a couple of times before I wrote this.
Off to find my old tapes, couldn't afford CDs at the time, and probably get some soulless digital copies so I can still play the music I grew up to.
Thanks for posting. Great Times.
A perfectly written short song, that melody. mwahh!
I have lived it all and seen most of it...this guy should have been a Beatle.
Why does this song not get more love... ?
fantastic bliss exists...
I forgot how good this was, fantastic track
Ah my old car. It was the summer of ‘99 - I just moved to London from Ireland and this was my first job. I had never heard of ‘Badly Drawn Boy’ (was this his break thru?) but I had a great day and love this song since. He was also a real nice guy. The car the couple in the video drove became my car after the video 👍
i just love this song and video so much! BDB great album
Two parts Golden Brown; one part Sketch For Summer. Shake well, and serve.
The Cosmic Lounge ..Well observed.
totally
Sve svari u životu su jednostavne...i lepe..tako i ova...ljubav...
one day brings me here
Nearly 19 years on and I still absolutely LOVE this song.
One of the best songs of all time x ❤❤❤❤❤
Heard this song twenty somethin years ago. It has lived in my soul ever since.
Melody and rhythm goes good together.
It’s melancholy but makes your ❤️ soar & the video is just fantastic
Okay my ❤️ soar
Every
Bloody
Time
I almost forgot the name of both the song and the artist. I felt genuine panic that I would never hear it again.

Happened to me too bro
Berb McLermon highly forgettable. Thank god for the punk rock sound. USA
I actually did for get the name and artist! I could always hum the “doo ba doo bah dah” part but that’s it lol. I just found it again today! Thank goodness, it was driving me nuts.
Exactly!!! :)
That lead guitar 😍
Absolute gold! A real hidden gem! Go on Damon!👍
Hour of bewilderbeast..... Awesome
Beautiful. It swings. mmm
Such a tune such a groove was playing the cd in the car last night absolute classic 👌
Still love this song.

Such a beautiful, timeless song. Could literally be from any era
This album is like the soundtrack to what I was doing back then.
I heard this song in 00 late at night on MTV2 been jamming ever since

Back when MTV played good songs...... this was up there
You're still living in a bubble.
Beautiful songs he so great
ive spent years trying to find this song again !!!!! that wah guitar really stuck itself in my head
Me too!
Same here lol
Forgot how good this is.
absolute class
Had to Google sound search this song that was playing on One Day ep13. Amazing melody
I picked this for my first try for an exam in my academy with my bass. I felt on the top of the world. Did not nail it, but I was close
Always enjoyed this song and video. And the boy with the glasses is too cute❤
pure, simple love. 1st love, accentuated by kiss to picture.
still here all these years later... Wow VH1 was amazing in the day ey.
I heard this song for the first time when I worked in Pier 1 and I loved it so much that I would wait everyday to hear it. I have been looking for this song since 2005 and I have finally found it! Good, clean music that gives you that feeling...of falling in love again and again every time you hear it. Thank you for good music.
