[@alk3ie]

[@taintabird23]

Watching and listening on St Patrick's Day, 2020, in self imposed isolation awaiting the Covid-19 tsunami to sweep across the land. Here's to rocky and his lover - may we all get lucky in the weeks ahead.

[@killbuzzinton]

2021 is still the same with paddy's day cancelled and in lockdown so let's enjoy this song together 😁

[@taintabird23]

The sun gives life and it takes it away. But like all the greats it will burn out some day. id retire on them lyrics lol this small country has some talent.

[@AustinAure]

Hahaha I love this :D

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

Yes I love this lyric!

[@lovelyloni8711]

Where the couple from fairytale of New York ended up!! Reminds me so much of that song !

[@foxstumblesnorth]

@Pdunnoable "Rocky Took a Lover" was written and recorded in 2005, and "Falling Slowly" was written and recorded in 2006. It would be pretty difficult for Bell X1 to copy a song that didn't exist at the time. And Glen would roll his eyes at you if he ever read your comment. He, unlike you, has class. "Better to keep your mouth closed and have people assume you are an idiot than open your mouth and prove them right."

[@decotronq9054]

😂😂😂 I presume the dickhead deleted his comment 🤡

[@meiseymac]

I love art when it is described to me, when the person who created the art explains what it meant to them and this does all of that so it is more than art. This song is poetry., it is also literature. I hope it is as loved by you as it is loved by me and the people I have introduced to it. Long live real acoustic lyrical music.

[@tonyburrowes]

Bell x1's best song by far

[@bussy2125]

When I hear music like that I never want to go to bed

[@frankykid]

[@shaneshaneist]

@holeyhan Why would you want to miss the explanation? It's nice to know what the song is actually about.

[@colmmartin1713]

What I'd like to know is, who are the 77 people (at time of writing this) who disliked this absolutely incredible song......probably Bono fans!!!

Still better love story than Twilight. Intro straight to the point.

[@bill11097]

@AlphaSpartanOmega You mustn't ever give up ever. People haven't treated you right but one day you'll find the perfect person, and cause of all the shit you've been through you'll value it so much more than if you haven't. I've been cheated on before so i know how you feel, sometimes it's cause the person makes a mistake or is just an ass who doesn't understand the workings of emotions, my guy made a mistake and i forgave him it took a long time and alot of tears, but maybe it'll all be worth it

[@holeyhan]

starts 1:28

@AlphaSpartanOmega good luck xx (ran out of space in the last comment) I hope all goes well for you
