Black Box Recorder- The Facts of Life (Official Video)

Black Box Recorder- The Facts of Life
Taken from the Black Box Recorder boxset, 'Life is Unfair'.

[@elizabethbell4697]

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. Deserved much more recognition than it received.

[@FSPWorks]

I shared my Spotify with my grandmother. She played this song most of the time. My grandmother loves it so much!

[@eyexha]

what a cool granny

I grew up the only gay kid in a clean german suburb. With every year passing, I feel more and more distant from this place. The hockey club, all the kids riding mountainbikes with their girlfriends and boyfriends, the lawn mowers and SUVs. I'm just sitting behind the window of my mum's flat and wondering how life can seem so easy, even tho it isn't. This song hits hard.

[@elizabethbell4697]

Another lost tune from 1999. Love this song so much.

[@Piwork69]

Is that how old it is? I looked it up bc it’s one of those songs from many moons ago

[@tra_ceyy]

@@Piwork69it’s either 1999 or 2000

[@bearhustler]

I just found the single of this in a box, instantly remembered how beautiful it is. Thanks Mark n Lard

Do do do, do do do Do do do, do do do When boys are just eleven They begin to grow in height at a fast rate than they have done before They develop curiosity and start to fantasise About the things they have never thought of doing before These dreams are no more harmful than The usual thoughts that boys have of becoming football stars or millionaires As long as the distinction between fantasy and fiction remains It's just a nature walk It's just the facts of life There's no master plan Walk me home from school I'll let you hold my hand You're getting ideas And when you sleep at night They develop into sweet dreams It's just the facts of life A boy sits by the telephone, wanting to call a girl But not daring to because she might say no At last he summons up the courage phones And discovers someone else has asked her first and she's said yes Now's time to deal with the fear of being rejected No-one gets through life without being hurt At this point the boy who's listening to this song Is probably saying it's easier said than done and it's true It's just the facts of life There's no master plan Walk me home from school I'll let you hold my hand You're getting ideas And when you sleep at night They develop into sweet dreams It's just the facts of life Do do do, do do do Do do do, do do do Small-town dating differs from more urban situations In particular if there's few places to go Adolescents normally gather in a cafe or an arcade If they have to almost anywhere will do A family car, a disused coalmine A rowing boat or a shed Experimentation, familiarisation It's all a nature walk It's just the facts of life There's no master plan Walk me home from school I'll let you hold my hand You're getting ideas And when you sleep at night They develop into sweet dreams It's just the facts of life It's just the facts of life (Sweet dreams develop into ideas) There's no master plan (Ideas develop into sweet dreams) Walk me home from school (Sweet dreams develop into ideas) I'll let you hold my hand (Let you hold my hand) You're getting ideas (Sweet dreams develop into ideas) And when you sleep at night (Ideas develop into sweet dreams) They develop into sweet dreams (Sweet dreams develop into ideas) It's just the facts of life It's just the facts of life (Sweet dreams develop into ideas) There's no master plan (Ideas develop into sweet dreams) Walk me home from school (Sweet dreams develop into ideas) I'll let you hold my hand (Let you hold my hand)

[@mossydepp]

this band is just too good, i'm glad i found them

[@Sblackskull]

I remember buying this as a single somewhere in Kensington London 2000 I was 15-16 travelled down from Glasgow to stay with family and bought it on a whim with a few other CDs 😂,, thought it’s was brilliant, different.. but very unique

[@leszekawzan5696]

I can't find proper words to describe the talent & uniqueness of that phenomenon in the world music! Keep rocking, Sarah!

[@gingersnapp114]

Just found out this song- love it, it’s so beautiful

[@exxjay]

Just heard this tonight on bbc r6 . .great to hear it again after so many years.

[@seanwilliamson9403]

Great song. Remember it being played on Mark and Lards last show.

[@coolkid05]

I remember this getting played quite a bit on Radio 1, around March/April 2000 time.

[@PoppyCorn144]

Don’t know why but today this classic made itself an ear worm. I remember getting it on a free album from New Woman magazine in 2000; instant love.

[@matthewchakera8366]

Remember this one well and it's sure stood the test of time from 2000. Playing here in 2022

[@sandmansleeps]

There is no master plan. It's just the facts... Of life.

[@benlotus2703]

I bought a few old UNCUT magazines in a charity shop many years ago. Their album received a 5/5 review (Passionoia - Black Box Recorder) I bought the album 12 years ago on the back of the review. Great music. This song is beautiful.

[@mattjones532]

Really only 44k views? Love this song

Most perfect British speaking, amazing

[@chanibeingcool7184]

it’s great because unlike most songs you can actually hear the bloody lyrics without looking them up 😂😂

[@cyberhermit1222]

this chorus just popped into my head randomly after 20 years. Explain that in biology class

[@iainv4092]

Radio would never play this. They play the same songs on a loop

[@tziirkq]

This song specifically was on the radio pretty often when it first came out.

[@bearhustler]

Yeah Mark and Lard played it constantly.

[@bearhustler]

Just looked, it went top 20, they were on TOTP

[@andraken]

If ASMR was a music genre

[@GriefTourist]

Haines could easily churn out commercial stuff but doesn't and I find that admirable.

[@MODEL_CITIZEN]

Really beautiful song. Such a strange topic-it’s a comforting song about the naturalness of pubescent male sexuality. It’s crazy to hear a song that doesn’t compare the white man to Hitler.

[@jabbles1029]

A S the fuck are you on about? What song compares white men to Hitler? Are you that much of a fucking reactionary snowflake?

[@amineral9459]

@@jabbles1029 I believe he was hyperbolizing

[@amineral9459]

@John Ross Hmmm not quite but interesting perspective

[@Mewted]

ignorant asshat. it's about that awkward phase both boys and girls go through in early puberty, trying impress each other and the fantasy of love and rejection. the theme is clearly 50/50 and doesn't have anything directly to do about "male sexuality".
