Babyshambles - Lost Art Of Murder

[@aivarasdarulis]

I discovered Peter Deherty in 2012, when I was heavily addicted to heroin, for many years. My girlfriend was very supportive but it always broke my heart. I couldn't see her so sad so I would try comforting her, apologising, then feeling like killing myself goimg out at 2AM to get more heroin, listening to this on iPod and it was the only thing comforting me. Thankfully I am clean now. Thank you, Peter.

[@mcawesome4150]

Did you change your life? Did she change her mind?

[@mrcurely]

i woke up with such a craving to hear this song. i can't explain it

[@Talisman09]

joe b maybe you dreamt about murdering somebody

[@themorningstar3353]

I did too. Time to go ahead and take a dose that will possible have me end up in paradise. They're best that way.

i do almost every day. and then i get high and hope i tomorrow is better

[@mishatomskovich7103]

Great guitar licks and addictive vocals...

[@micaeladotcom]

This has always been my favorite Babyshambles/Pete Doherty song. Nothing can top this one

[@martinmccorquodale4283]

just got the urge to revisit the past and damn i forgot how beautiful this tune is, petey boy is such a lyrical genius

[@eurusadventum2122]

I just randomly searched the lost art of and i found this... Best chance encounter i have had yet thank you

[@moonmonkey999]

the lost art of songwriting!

[@krolinedesing]

I am in love with him, of his voice, his lyrics!

[@balticsea7891]

Im too. Cause hes brillant

[@vbrunt]

You aren't so bad yr self...

[@declanmcdonnell6965]

As a musician, I've admittedly never really given Pete Doherty a chance. But I found this song yesterday and have been playing it on repeat ever since. It's a work of art. Also think there's a slight nod in the chords to Redemption Song, which is great. Think I'll delve deeper into his stuff now! Very apt final line in this song, as regards my previous perception of him :)

[@hannah6034]

bert jansch is on guitar, that;s partly why its so special and marley-esque as you say

[@davidscargil9145]

You are in for a Pleasant Surprise. Pete is a Genius. I love Him best with The Libertines.His ear for a melody is almost unmatched. The Libertines,Babyshambles or Solo,there aren`t any tracks i don`t love. I have forced some of my Mates (all Musicians) to listen to Him. They all thought that He was a Tabloid Waster ...They are all now on board. Thank You Declan,for giving the Guy a chance.

[@danielrobles444]

you wont regret it :3

[@petrichor2889]

given* The "have" means you use given, not gave. Either _I gave_ or _I have given._ I'm all of the fun at parties.

[@emmacooney2981]

Im lookin at your comment now mate,im on my girls youtube page,but yeah it says 2 years ago, hope you did delve deeper coz it would be worth it, he's a one off in my opinion, the media i think fukd him over and turned a lot of people off him, he's in recovery now thank god, but even when he was bad on the rock and gear the talent just poured out of him, I'm an addict myself and functioning is hard enough, don't mean to ramble on but it boggles the mind i think to see the quality of his work even when the disease of addiction was so rampant in his life,extremely gifted,amazing lyricist,and such a nice person too, anyway i'll leave it at that..but yeah as i said, a ONE OFF....peace out

[@faalalalaaa]

amazing video, i love to watch it ! and i love this song....it remindes me of my first love....about 11/12 years ago when i was 15 or 16.... he was my personal Pete. I wanna thank him to bring me to this beautiful music back then.....so grateful he inspired me so much back then.....so i discovered all that great timeless music which is hardly to find nowadays..... so happy i was born in the 90ies

[@sthephanieguerrero]

I hear this song everyday since I first heard it like a month ago... It's stunning!

[@MarkMcDougall]

Can't believe how relaxing his music is. Just love it.

[@trayc2762]

This record certainly.. Doherty's style predominantly¿ n general..?... Certainly not. Amazing body of work. 2yrs since you commented so hope you have found a few more favourites. Best, Txx

[@chrisnoble2084]

What an amazing song. Peter is seriously a talented individual..... I had this song played at my dads funeral and most of the ppl thier said oh wow what band and song was that they are normal ppl and loved the song. Cant see why ppl dislike Peter he is what he is yeh drugs arent good but with most of these talented ppl they seek another dimension to escape to

[@victoriasantangelo]

You do realise this song was wrote after his friends murdered someone at a party

[@lastsonshine]

​@@victoriasantangelo what peter did was wrong, but it is not certain whether the song is about blanco or not

[@hello-gk5cz]

​@@victoriasantangelo Doesn't sound like it's about a literal murder like

[@TWI-WII]

@@victoriasantangelo maybe, stay off the internet if you are so gullible.

[@TWI-WII]

@@victoriasantangelo who cares anyway? did you know Marc blanco? "the only thing you're killing is time" doesn't seem to push the narrative you are pushing.

[@ErPinkyLloyd]

this is so beautiful i think i'm gonna cry right now

[@rustyacestaffy]

What a Tune. You gotta love our Pete. Love the guy. #Namaste

[@rpr8]

I was sitting here working on work stuff on a Saturday morning. Then the line, "what a nice day for a murder" popped in to my head. I had not heard this song in probably 10 years. It's 9:30 AM and a beautiful day already... competing only with yesterday for the Nicest Day of Year (so far) award. I guess this was a message from my subconscious to stop killing my time (by working) and do something for me.

[@MrTallGuitarMan]

the start of this song is immensly touching, i'm 16 and i bought a total guitar magazine with a backing track for this, and it was really good. I came here. And wow.

[@El..Stracho]

Brilliant song man

[@erinlilytoner8467]

When he sings stop smoking... that I thought he was gonna say crack! Pete is a legend, poetic genius xx

[@likelyladsss]

Anytime i'm in romantic/depressed mood, this is my song

[@dansommerfeld289]

There's slow songs, there's ballads, there's love songs,...and HEART SONGS. ..fuckin this.

[@BangersNotAnthems]

WHAT A NICE DAY FOR A MUUUUUUUURDER. Gotta be my favourite Doherty lyric, ever; the delivery of it is nothing but perfect. This is also my favourite song Doherty's written. Fucking beautiful song and it upsets me I've got nobody to ever sing this with when hammered.

[@victoriasantangelo]

Wrote after his minder murdered someone in a crack house for getting in his face

[@apolllitik]

those videomontage are made like if pete was already dead... he will live for ever in my head. dead or alive. as a poet brother

[@liamcordon3897]

So hauntingly beautiful

[@donaldtrumpfan8393]

modern masterpiece

[@thecrossfirecasualty]

@FkinTune The melody, the feel in his voice. It's talent wether you see it or not. There are thousands of people that do.

[@DaPandes]

I would seriously do anything to see Pete live. Himself or with The libertines dosent matter. Pete is the biggest artist ever without doubt

[@Ale_tutor_tolc]

Happy Birthday Pete! Respect from Italy

[@dansommerfeld289]

Peter, never stop. Above and below, fast and fuckin slow. Keep writing punk rock lullabies for us...the heavy, the awesome, the real. Cheers

[@lisamanic4822]

Masterpiece 💕💕💕

[@MyPatrickn]

THIS IS BERT JANSCH ON THE GUITAR + THE BABYSHAMBLES, HOW COULD THIS GET ANY BETTER?! well perhaps Barat making an appearance but still!!!

[@evergreeendazed]

Everytime I hear this song I remember the only guy I ever loved, and have a huge desire to run and find him again...

[@wh7227]

Don't worry 5 seconds, nvm 5 months, would have been enough for that thought to change directions for me, like a turtle turning around after walking in the wrong direction to the finish line. People stay in the past for a reason. These songs are cathartic to listen because this is your safe place to revisit that past, without all the bullshit.

[@facials11]

wow never realised he was capable of such a great song, havent really listened to his stuff before, anyone ony recommendations of his music?

[@valiantthor9847]

The fact that he recorded this in the flat where mark blanko was murdered when Pete was there. . come on Jonny, when Pete gave you the nod to get mark out of his face because mark wanted Pete to go to his play , you and Paul dragged him out . Then he apparently jumped of the balcony.

That line bothers me, too.

[@abashamzi4480]

there is no need for him to tell us that he smokes crack,we know that and to be honest I don't care,what he says is beautiful the way it is,you are not clever enough to say what he should or shouldn't do so fuck you.And for one i smoked weed,not crack a lot when my life was going nowhere and I took his advice from this song and delivery so I stopped smoking to much and doing nothing all day.I got off my back and made my life great once again.You don't have the cosmic right to say that,fuck you.
