pretty mad how i used to listen to this on the bus to school and it would bring a tear to my eye. Fastforward to 2024 and I am a parent and this song takes on a whole new level of meaning
I remember listening and watching this on MTV as a 10yr old in 2009 . Most people found it sad and depressing but I loved it I dunno why. I've been looking for this song ever since 2009 because I didnt know the right name ,so glad I found it tho .
If you think about it, it's not really that sad or depressing. Up to the point he dies, everything seems to be going really well for him (though it's perhaps a little sad that the events seem so good, makes you wonder what normal days have been like); but he seems to have a happy day. We're all going to go one day; wouldn't we prefer to go happy?
Dude, there are no hidden messages in this video! Everything is explicit and very clear from the first couple of seconds. The guy is dead and going through his day as it unfolded and he is appreciating what he had and what he's leaving behind him. Great song and gread video.
Very sad song.... Reminds me of someone I knew who died in 2014, I strangely remembered this year 2024.... He died after getting hit by a bus though after rushing around
It was my friends 18th party last night, but he had been killed the week before. His brother and a friend sang this song and it was really emotional for us all, but this song was one of the few that really had a profound effect.
The song works as a Memento Mori, a reminder of mortality to inspire us not to take our lives for granted. It's not his best day 'cos he won the lottery or anything epic, all the good things he describes seem ordinary, but it's those very things we take too much for granted that make life what it is. "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" as John Lennon sang. The purpose is to help us focus on what really matters in our lives and cherish the simple everyday things.
This song is sooo amazing! I've been listening to it almost all day.. has anyone realised that at 0:20 the kid is playing with the cars and he repeats the car crash, and then the ambulance comes.. I LOVE THIS SONG!
Anyone else see the live version of him and a few lads in the park singin this tune? he's a great live performer as well. Great to hear him again. Beautiful tune.
I never actually saw the video for this but now that I'm on a nostalgia kick listening to my old mp3 collection, and I figured fuck it I'll hop on youtube and find the video for this one, I realise how extra bittersweet that ending was-- Because it wasn't a sunny day, it wasn't clear weather. Just as soon as he died, his mind fabricated this gorgeous, wonderful last day of existence for him in his last seconds of consciousness, and he died happy.
It's so ironic --- such an easy going tune for such a sad topic. I love it. It's bittersweet, and for some reason I just really like it. It puts things in to perspective. I love it Jack, please never stop doing what you do.
My interpretation is it's kind of a farewell, like at the end of a good show the audience applauds, the entire day in the video appears to be a flashback over parts of his life, he is wearing his ruined jacket and has blood on his head throughout. It's not reality, the people are applauding to say, well done, good life, goodbye, almost applauding the end of his performance. :)
this song always makes me well up with tears, i love it! its so simple but so weirdly emotive! and the video is just as it should be, simple and telling the story. nesbitt was a good actor to have do it too, hes brilliant!
13 years ago I posted about this on Facebook and just got a reminder about it so had to come back to it, still very dramatic watching it again, if not quite as sad as it was all those years ago.
James Nesbitt plays a blinding part in this video, his expression at the end of the video when he relises he's dead makes me shudder, and brings a tear to my eye.
i heard this song and didnt understand it at first but... when you watch the video and think about the message its sending you'll fully understand. but for the people who cant quite understand it yet this songs message is to enjoy the little things that make your day happy because you never know when your end will be...
I love this song and all it's hidden meanings. Like at the beginning when the kid had a over turned car and ambulance. Also when the artist was drawing the world on the ground, notice he was standing on the tip of the world, like he's on top of the world. It's really sad :( but a brilliant song none the less.
This an amazing song, and an amazing video. I actually felt really sad when the guy died at the end, even tho i knew it was coming. A brilliant summer tune
'The most amazing thing in the world is that we all live as if we will still be alive tomorrow...' Best bit is when he looks at the little jam tart his kids made him for lunch. Great stuff.
Still can’t watch this video all these years later without sobbing!!… can’t even listen to the song without filling up!… was , and always will be superb! ❤️
Last year I finished a video I called "The Day I Died". It was actual video I was taking when my heart stopped at a surf contest. This song and video certainly hit the spot. My video is personal, but I plan to re-edit for utube soon. Thanks for the song.
Incredible video. It makes me shievr with exitement. This is my first encounter with Just Jack, and I'm now off to listen to more. Thank you for this fantastic song. The sort of feelgood tune we all need in todays world.
i love this song, if ur in a bad mude u can listen to it... but if ur in a happy mude, u can still listen to it :D cant stop playing this song! love it!
This is soooo bitter-sweet it makes me smile and I can't quite articulate why because its about someone dying. But how lucky would we all be if when we die we were as happy and content with our lives. I've gotta feeling not many people get to find that out. I don't wanna sound like some corny touchy feely type person....coz I'm def not but this song is really spurring me on to make changes in my life.
I've been waiting for this. Saw him on John Peel stage at Glasto this year when he introduced this song. Looked round to my fiance at the end and saw tears pouring down her face.
I haven’t listened to this song in at least 10 years and I still get the words and timing perfectly. I mean I used to sing it ALL the time but that must’ve been 2010 or 11, only listened sporadically from then until about a decade ago when I forgot about it and yet I can still remember every word and the timing. I guess that shows it’s a great song, very catchy, and memorable!
I love all the wee hidden bits in the video :D like Jack at the end, how he is on top of the world at one point and how at his lunch he finishe's the book called the day I died.

I find it sad, depressing, but I still love it.

Great song and gread video.
2010 comment... F@ck! Agreed though. If you're still reading this, I hope you're well 👍🏻
Who is still listening in 2024?
Only 16 but this song is just mhmm
@@Off1cial.jm_spitz Yes Jack I’m only 60 and feel exactly the same ❤
Very sad song.... Reminds me of someone I knew who died in 2014, I strangely remembered this year 2024.... He died after getting hit by a bus though after rushing around
Me it’s a classic
Listening to what ??? There is nothing to listen too 🤫🥱oh so 🤐 quiet....shhhh 🤫🤫😴
Im impressed they got James Nesbitt to star in a music vid. He's one hell of an actor. Just makes this song even more my favourite.
It was my friends 18th party last night, but he had been killed the week before. His brother and a friend sang this song and it was really emotional for us all, but this song was one of the few that really had a profound effect.
Sick story tbh, mate. Had one with the boy's like he'd have wanted. GG
Every few years i remember this song.
The song works as a Memento Mori, a reminder of mortality to inspire us not to take our lives for granted. It's not his best day 'cos he won the lottery or anything epic, all the good things he describes seem ordinary, but it's those very things we take too much for granted that make life what it is.

Who’s still listening to this in 2020? This brings back so many memories from my younger years ❤️
I haven't stopped in 10 years... great fucking shit... epic
WALLAHI
2023 👍🏽
Just Jack's music is timeless! No matter how many times I listen to his songs, they always evoke a wave of emotions!!!
James Nesbitt is the only person who can make me cry in these sort of videos. He's amazing.
I always cry when i hear "I guess i never saw that taxi!!" :(
This song is sooo amazing! I've been listening to it almost all day..
has anyone realised that at 0:20 the kid is playing with the cars and he repeats the car crash, and then the ambulance comes..
I LOVE THIS SONG!
10 years ago damn
Anyone else see the live version of him and a few lads in the park singin this tune? he's a great live performer as well. Great to hear him again. Beautiful tune.
I loved the song when I was younger. I always thought it was sad, but now it’s next level. Enjoy everyday as if it was your last
Here coz of James Maddison. He mentioned in a recent interview that this is one of his favourite songs and I was keen to give it a listen.
I never actually saw the video for this but now that I'm on a nostalgia kick listening to my old mp3 collection, and I figured fuck it I'll hop on youtube and find the video for this one, I realise how extra bittersweet that ending was-- Because it wasn't a sunny day, it wasn't clear weather. Just as soon as he died, his mind fabricated this gorgeous, wonderful last day of existence for him in his last seconds of consciousness, and he died happy.
He's on top of the world at 2:15.
Love this song and the video is clever !
JJ and James Nesbitt = legends
It's so ironic --- such an easy going tune for such a sad topic. I love it. It's bittersweet, and for some reason I just really like it. It puts things in to perspective. I love it Jack, please never stop doing what you do.
When the guy was painting the picture it show he was on top of the world!!
Great song
i love this, nesbitt is a fantastic actor, this video moves me to tears. Brilliantly put together, very clever.
Love the touch with Just Jack as the paramedic
Been in my head for years!
meow
One of the most meaningful, to-the-point and one of the few videos which are actually related to the song.
i have listen to this song about 1000 times and i still dont get tired of it
My interpretation is it's kind of a farewell, like at the end of a good show the audience applauds, the entire day in the video appears to be a flashback over parts of his life, he is wearing his ruined jacket and has blood on his head throughout.

Damn that’s deep.
this song always makes me well up with tears, i love it! its so simple but so weirdly emotive! and the video is just as it should be, simple and telling the story. nesbitt was a good actor to have do it too, hes brilliant!
2022 we love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
james nesbit is terrific in this. this song, along with james' terrific acting, makes me want to cry.

just goes to show how good James Nesbitt is. He pulled this vd off amazing and made it believable even without lines, class actor
Absolute genius!!..
music, lyrics, video..the lot

and the video :)
This song has just come into my head. So I had to find it. Definitely my favourite of his songs. And the video is so moving ❤️
Amazing song, sad and feel good at the same time.
i heard this song and didnt understand it at first but... when you watch the video and think about the message its sending you'll fully understand. but for the people who cant quite understand it yet this songs message is to enjoy the little things that make your day happy because you never know when your end will be...
Good to see this video is available again. Amazing song and video.

OMG i LOVE this song is soo amazing and i just LOVE IT! can listen to it over and over again. xxx
I love this song and all it's hidden meanings. Like at the beginning when the kid had a over turned car and ambulance.

Whenever I consider roping it, I listen to this song and think about how much his family would miss him and put it off for a while again
Life is so short, 97TheWatcher. I am nearly 50 years old and time seems so short. This song makes me so sad.
@@UKImmigrationLawGeek I’m 27 and 10 years ago felt like yesterday. His song Mourning morning, I think it’s called that, makes me feel sad.
OMG i cried at the end of this vid! :'( when he just collapses and then flash back to his kids! love the tune but video is so sad
It was quite an ordeal to find this song again but now that I'm here I've saved it.
This an amazing song, and an amazing video.
I actually felt really sad when the guy died at the end, even tho i knew it was coming.
A brilliant summer tune
great song, great music video and the perfect actor.... everything makes it an awesome one.....
'The most amazing thing in the world is that we all live as if we will still be alive tomorrow...'
Best bit is when he looks at the little jam tart his kids made him for lunch. Great stuff.

I've been waiting for this. Saw him on John Peel stage at Glasto this year when he introduced this song. Looked round to my fiance at the end and saw tears pouring down her face.
LOve the secret bits in this... The book he reads in the park, his daughters toy, the paramedic being Jack... Awesome tune

a really interpretive song, great stuff, a really well made music video
The song's do upbeat, and so are the lyrics until the final verse.
I love this song! :3
