    One of the things I love the most about Damon is that everytime he sings a song He is so much into it although he is singing the same song after 20 years and you can't tell the same about a lot of artists these days.. He really cares about his music!!I admire him a lot!

    When Damon sinks in his piano at 3:30 and the blonde violin player watches him in all his passion, the world stands still for me. Unreal heartwarming moment.

    This era was the peak of Damon's voice (2012-2015). Darker, richer, and more mature than in the 90s, but still hitting the high notes.

    This is so surreal. Way more precious than the original. He seems so well versed and worldly at this point. He's seen the world and more, but singing this in that moment in time, England is all that matters to him. Gorgeous. What a beautiful human being he is... Plus, makes me cry every time. Fuck me

    [Verse 1]
    And into the sea
    Goes pretty England and me
    Around the Bay of Biscay
    And back for tea
    Hit traffic on the Dogger Bank
    Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
    Sail on by with the tide
    And go to sleep
    And the radio says
    [Chorus]
    This is a low
    But it won't hurt you
    When you're alone
    It will be there with you
    Finding ways to stay solo
    [Verse 2]
    Up the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty
    There's a low in the high forties
    Saturday's locked away on the pier, not fast enough, dear
    And on the Malin head
    Blackpool looks blue and red
    And the Queen, she's gone 'round the bend
    Jumped off Land's End
    And the radio says
    [Chorus]
    This is a low
    But it won't hurt you
    When you're alone
    It will be there with you
    Finding ways to stay solo
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Chorus]
    This is a low
    But it won't hurt you
    When you're alone
    It will be there with you
    Finding ways to stay solo

    The best moments: The classic "This is a Low" bassriff only at 3:20. And the peak when Damon sinks in his piano at 3:25 and the blonde violinist smiling, watching him in all his passion. Very heartwarming moment for me. Only music can do such magical things.
