John Grant - Billy (Official Video)

[@miguelvera244]

I miss you and love you billy. I’ll see you next time around. Thank you John for a song worthy of the man.

[@lewism562]

Pardon the hyperbole, but this might be one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. And I don't know who Billy is, but if someone wrote a song like this about me, I'd love him for the rest of my life.

[@billyshearer117]

I'm Billy. I want to believe the song is about me. Once John Grant meets me it will be! 😂

[@pablofrank2466]

The world really needs a new John Grant album right now

[@MegaAtomium]

Yippee!!! SOON!!!!

[@pigswift101]

John Grant, I don't know you and this probably won't get to you, but I just want to do my bit and try and send some love your way. Your music is simply sublime (I know, ofc you know!). Boy from Michigan and Billy are two of your best pieces and if the other tracks are anything like these two, you should be given your own spaceship or something of equal awesomeness and value as compensation. When I saw your performance of Disappointing on Jools Holland a few years back, you managed to fill a void in my soul. Your performance was mesmerising. Please keep your energy and creativity channelled and don't die early from drugs. xxx

[@dondev54]

Thanks for the recommendation. I went straight to Later to see that great performance. To return the favour, check out Tilted by Christine and the Queens on the same show, home of some of the greatest performances in history.

[@Tevoro1962]

I've come to the conclusion that it'll never be possible for me to ever listen to this song without getting choked up.

[@rjyadventures]

I am looking forward to the new album. Not a day goes by I don't listen to one of your track's or a complete album. Thank you John Grant for being you..💖💖

[@mozquiff1155]

Oh Billy, I will never meet you but I somehow know that I would also helplessly, hopelessly love you. Thank you for inspiring John.

[@ezradickey505]

I was just at Pete's for breakfast the other day. Best from Denver, John. (great to hear Paris On The Platte referenced!)

[@DanaReed-l1p]

Rest in Peace, Billy. You were a kind and beautiful soul. I miss you already, buddy.

[@gabrieltrigo8846]

You are such a brilliant artist!!!

[@henriksjensen]

Very powerful. An instant favorite.

[@treeskesoentken1767]

Absolutely wonderful song. Thanks John ❤

[@CatherineCrown]

Billy is an earth angel ❤ I only worked with him briefly but the amount of hearts he touched by being himself is beautiful. Have cried to this song a lot lately and really appreciate it 💗

[@SuperDeborahjohn]

I love John Grant so much. What a talent 🥰

[@carminedesanctis3961]

Such a meaningful song, put out at the perfect timing. Thank you for once again having shown us your true heART through your music, John. I love you. ❤

[@EnglanE_]

Love at first listen when I heard this on BBC 6Music this morning. Going to buy it now.

[@hamishalexander5294]

Me too, 6music is at the forefront

[@mozquiff1155]

6Music is worth the licence fee alone. Long live Auntie Beeb!

[@VinylCollectorJames]

love the lyrics, as always right from the heart. Your songs are so personal and they never disappoint. Bravo

[@BCause-qv1mk]

You did it again Mr Grant! Gorgeous song. It's going to be a hell of an album.

[@elenagorbunova4459]

Очень талантливый и трогательный Джон. Не устаю удивляться его изобретательности. Огромная благодарность

[@nightjarnine1126]

It's a truly magnificent piece of songwriting and a glorious realisation in terms of performance and production. JG has the 'bittersweet' cornered and corralled and turned out in exquisite, disheveled style. I can relate. I'm an old man with many a treasured scar. Some of those key changes make me collapse.

[@joshuasienkiewicz8968]

Thanks John, You are a beautiful soul.

[@leonardzimmerman1308]

This kind of beauty and honesty doesn't come around that often. Broke my heart the first time I heard it.

[@jazznolan]

What a lovely for me to discover this amazing artist and human being An inspiration and what a lyricist Ill see you in Cambridge UK in September!!!

[@jazznolan]

A lovely surprise!!!! I meant

[@sanciac5131]

With John Grant's songs and videos it's like in the 80s when I use to went to the cinema to see the last Movie of Almodóvar or Ivory or Allen....

[@JogMaher]

God bless you John. Thank you 💚

[@ednixon]

Paris on the Platte - Coffee house on Platte street in Denver from 1986 to 2015.

[@soaribb32]

It's been a while since I listened to your music. This was a great ballad.

[@bbourgault72]

RIP Billy. You will be missed.

[@wetbear1968]

This is so incredibly moving. Thanks for this gem 💝😘

[@garycoxgc]

This song is a truly beautiful work of art.....just perfect!

[@Ripcookiethief]

I'm glad you've been putting out so much music! Edit: The song is beautiful, rich, and melancholy.

[@andibgoode]

Beautiful song and video! Very much looking forward to the new album :) 💖

[@hyperborean72]

one of the best ballads by fabulous John Grant

Wow - this is beautiful. I am so excited for the album. Thank you so much, John.

[@stevecalvert5212]

Beautiful tearjerker

[@robertcotgrave5920]

I really like John Grant because he tells it like it is. Respect to you sir.

[@justMe-rd4sw]

I discovered You John through being a manic street preachers fan & seeing you perform with James Dean Bradfield & Allen Toussaint in the songwriters circle and among others you performed Drug!!!!! It was amazing,so moving and seeing James so obviously moved by it's incredible beauty. This is another incredible beautiful composition 👌🏻 thankyou for sharing.

[@mozquiff1155]

Under neon loneliness, motorcycle GMF....

[@jeffmusgrave3691]

What a melody. Fantastic. Also, the animation is highly entertaining. Been listening to Love Is Magic a lot the past few weeks - especially “Metamorphosis” - and I’m looking forward to hearing the new album. 👍

[@johnrichardson1796]

I love this song so much, brilliant 👍

[@Chora68]

The video Amazing! I am a fan of John Grant and I can relate to his song. I appreciate his honest poetic writing, sharing his beautiful voice with the world.

[@kylebookowsky9014]

Tack för kärlekens vemod i dina vackraste sånger, John🥰

[@Harrier_DuBois]

Nice Vocal harmonies, they remind me a bit of the Beatles, along with the melodies too. Been trying to find another song as good as Boy From Michagin.

[@stelloyd671]

Beautiful xx

[@Комсомолочка]

Great!

The ending is superlative. Luvya John.

[@samuelpenn2973]

Billy MacKenzie?

[@hurthim1]

no.....that what I thought at first but Paris on the Platte is a coffee shop in Denver so it's definitely someone from his past

[@juruchannel_]

so moving, hugs from a queernejo fan from brazil

Is he wearing a suit jacket over a pair of overalls? Werk.

Billy Idol ? no way :-)

Don’t write anything bad. Anything fun. Nothing crude. The KZbin crew dissolve it into outer space. JG tossed my salad

[@daviddeutschland6123]

This sound similar to Queen of Denmark is what I want to hear, not electronic synth crap or insults like Retorical figure.

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

the video is too freaky - (for me)

(billy seems like a nice guy though)
