[@GregoryCreswell]

I listened to this song while the credits were rolling after the movie "The Holdovers". I will give both the movie and the song, an A+. The movie was a tear-jerker.

[@GreatGownsBeautifulGowns2018]

Here after the Holdovers and this song really touched me.

[@gm44467]

The song is perfect for that movie.

[@ThePhoenicianDoctor]

Thank you Holdovers. Movie of the year. Brought me to this song ❤️🇺🇸

[@shawnybarra722]

[@armchairgeneral576]

Holdovers... What a FILM.

[@Dickonyourmind]

then ending sucked. it was slow and drawn out

[@sma92878]

Here because of The Holdovers. This song is amazing.

[@froop5280]

Just finished The Holdovers! Now I’m here.

[@oldchicken2]

First heard this on The Holdovers and can’t stop listening

[@SATAN666GOAT]

Payne is brilliant with the use of music -- not as good as Mann, but awesome for its genre.

[@Icantfindagoodname.]

Perfect song for a perfect movie

[@Mr.GuGuGaCucaSnooch]

Can't stop watching and showing people "The Holdovers".

[@buggz54]

Love his voice. Thanks to The Holdovers for this gem

[@crushyoprops858]

Thank you, Holdovers❤❤❤

[@arvindmv7166]

Indeed! Beautiful movie

[@lasurvivor47]

I too just finished watching The Holdovers. I was born in the 50's but the 60's and 70's was my era for great music. Funny though, I don't remember ever hearing this song until now. Such a good movie. At the end of the movie when he was driving away and this song started to play...boy it really moved me! :(

[@foglake757]

god, where has this song been all my life? wonderful

[@JasonNation72]

The Holdovers movie brought me here. What a song!

[@dm19609721]

Heard this tune watching the Holdovers not realizing it was a tune 50 yrs old.....love it!

[@robertfergison9921]

At the end of the song he asks himself why he is lying now. If you pertain these last lines to the whole of the song, he DOES cry, he DOES'NT laugh, and he DOES love.

[@stephenjones6030]

Ah...very good! I didn't even think about that!

[@tj-kv6vr]

duh

[@filipcolumbeanu5447]

"It's this one. This is the one you should be looking at"

[@Fluke2Win]

The holdovers is the best "not current year" movie to come out this year.

[@mickmazaeda1456]

This song made me cry in The Holdovers. Was such a beautiful little piece to put for Angus exploring the school at night and the end credits

[@eyelavadershine]

Where can you watch this movie? 🍿

[@criticalthought4910]

@@eyelavadershineDon’t watch it, it’s terrible

Anybody else here from The Holdovers?

[@meyeboy2]

[@suzhern765]

[@subhamdas9782]

[@dwainbrowne]

Same. Great movie, beautiful song.

[@petercockerill7366]

I’ve been listening to labi for over 50 years. An amazing singer, song writer, I never tire of him. Wonderful.

[@HeyJoeHUN81-PCRPGCommunity]

The Holdovers 1 of the best Christmas movie in the last decades with some solid soundtracks for sure

[@carloscisneros7877]

HOLDOVERS RULES!!!

[@nikkiallaireee]

Found this song because of the holdovers, it's great to be introduced to gems like this

[@richarddean7364]

Long time Labi Siffri fan so was delighted when I heard this whilst watching The Holdovers. Also The Wind by Cat Stevens. Woman sat next to me at the cinema asked me if I knew who sang the songs so I took great pleasure in enlightening her. Absolutely adored the film. Very moving but also caused me to laugh out loud on numerous occasions too.

[@brettfleming2714]

Loved the infusion of Labi too. Did you hear the Khruangbin?

[@richarddean7364]

Must confess I've not heard of them before. Just wikipedia'd them and they look interesting. What song of their's was featured so I can check it out. I liked all the music in the film so no doubt I'll enjoy it. Did you enjoy the film too?

[@rheinberg84]

brilliant film, brilliant song , both would bring a tear to a glass eye🥲

[@Jason-nb7tr]

Perfect soundtrack to a good movie.

[@Dickonyourmind]

to an ok movie. this song was better than the whole movie.

[@arkaazizul6673]

Beautiful movie HOLDOVERS ❤❤

[@PHILDR85]

It seems we're all here from The Holdovers, it touched me as well.😊

[@becky8851]

I remember it from the first time round but am watching The Holdovers and had to pause it to come here and listen. Such a beautiful song.

[@wp9847]

Holdovers!!!!! Nice film. I really enjoyed it!

[@pfraioli1]

Watching this wonderful movie the Holdovers-You are mesmerized by not only the acting but the simple melody and song playing in the background, now I'm here!

[@corentinlacombe8958]

Crying Crying never did nobody no good, no how That's why I don't cry That's why I don't cry Laughing Laughing sometimes does somebody some good somehow That's why I'm laughing now That's why I'm laughing now Loving Loving never did me no good, no how, no how That's why I can't love you now That's why I can't love you now Lying Lying never did nobody no good, no how, no how So why am I lying now? So why am I lying now? So why am I lying now?

[@yvonnerahui8729]

Thank you. Crying actually dies do good even if it doesn't resolve a matter but it helps wash out the pain..the angst or whatever.. bit by bit. And loving may not always be perfect but it's worth the effort if we take our time at the BEGINNING. Most important is to know the love of the Father through knowing Jesus as Saviour.🙏

[@bruce92106]

Holdovers got me here. Good song! Good movie! I don't remember hearing this on the radio in 72? I was 13-14 back then. Who knows.

[@dakritic]

How this song failed to chart in the U.S. blows my mind. Thank you Alexander Payne, for re-introducing this song to the masses.

[@FoxWalksSlow]

Here because of The Holdovers as well.

[@kerrsydotes]

me too great flik

[@BellaDonnamaespa]

Beautiful!! Congrats! I am watching the Holdover and had to stop go to my laptop to seach and find you. Soul hitting. Thank you!

[@iamcalledirenechaliz-lopez]

😅...me too... ✌️ ❤ 🙏 🌎

[@armchairgeneral576]

Great film.

[@johnlarmer3791]

Me too! Wonderful film & soundtrack - never heard of Siffre before, but now a fan!

[@davidstepro7486]

I guess we're all here for the same reason

[@kraftyiam]

Howdy, I'd never heard this song before ... yep, just watched The Holdovers - had me crying like a baby ... when Mary opened that box it was all over. Very touching movie though I didn't expect it to go where it did. Loved it. This song struck me had to find it and read the lyrics - lovely song.

[@Retro.Zombie]

Shame it takes a movie to find a song this good, here because of the Holdovers movie was amazing if you have not checked it out

[@crystaln.2794]

I’m here from The Holdovers too! Gem of a movie, and gem of a song! Perfect paired with the film

[@richardramjohn1590]

The holdover brought me here to remind us always that beautifull art is symbiotic

[@clairwakefield4938]

There was a lot of good music in the Holdovers (just saw it - great film!) but this song stuck with me. Never heard of Labi Siffle before - seems like I was not alone.

[@05057986]

Holdover bring me here! Lovely song

[@Charito760]

This song has twisty-turny hints of nostalgic country weaved in with 70’s folk sounds and it’s exquisite. I can’t stop listening to this song. Why?

[@pratapmondal145]

Just tore my heart while watching The Holdovers 🙃❤️ From India🇮🇳

[@naysay02]

beautiful beautiful song and film

[@Berbotto]

Greatest Song And Saddest Song From Labi Siffre Great Composer Lyricist The Best Theme For The Ending Scene From The Holdovers

[@gusreyesjr]

so glad I saw the Holdovers....brought me here!

[@HAPPYSROCKNSOULSHACK-tg7fu]

Soothing and beautiful. A perfect balance of joy and sorrow.

[@madonnacarew1538]

This made me cry so appropriate for this splendid movie

[@damoroff]

Just finished watching The Holdovers. Agreed, it was the movie that brought me here. Beautiful standout song and lyrics fit perfectly with the film. After watching it, I just had to find the song and artist. Bravo Labi!

[@carolconner9216]

Yes Holdovers piqued my curiousity - lovely song. Me too - tearful!

[@mustafaabubaker9738]

thank you The Holdovers

[@minor12071976]

Just saw the movie, nice song

[@squareinsquare2078]

We all love Simon and Garfunkel. Labi is as good. So underrated.

[@robertfergison9921]

So I'm 63 years old and never have heard this until last night when I saw The Holdovers. I have lived all this time without this song...

[@stephenjones6030]

Yo! I'm 59 and I'm here because of the movie as well. I was trying to remember if I ever heard this on the radio....nothing comes to mind. What the hell? It would have fit right in with all the music going on back in 1972...

You might very well have heard the song ​"It must be love" by him, it was arguably his signature song back when it was released @stephenjones6030

[@susanmcinnes8244]

Me as well, 66, love this song

[@julielittler5407]

Me too and I'm 83 ,love the song

[@paulcowin233]

I remembered it was Labre Ciffre. Not heard this in 50 years Here because of The Holdovers What a great movie with great soundtrack....who on earth thought of all these great songs?

[@GoldenhairYOTL80]

The Holdovers brought me here , but this composer will have me listening forever

[@frontman010]

There is talent and then this. Labi is without doubt the most underated song writer of all time. Genius for me.

[@johnkoller9892]

Ben Harper 😍 Bill Withers 😘

[@oonaghmcgrath2935]

Just seen The Holdovers and discovered this song, it's beautiful, entre nous ...

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Same here; The Holdovers. Sing during the closing credits. Took me a while to find the song. Thanks to the music director for using period correct songs

[@gettem6341]

The opening credits had a song made in 2014, Damien Jurado Silver Joy, still sounded right tho.

[@danfromnorth52]

This song is beautiful in its simplicity of a story and its melody and singing is hauntingly beautiful.

[@bb6640]

Here because of The Holdovers.

[@jinjingdu1303]

The Holdovers takes me here. Good movie. Good song.

[@PaulBoulter-e5r]

How good is this,50 years on and its lime less god bless you Labi.

[@davidcomito505]

This song is like having a good cry

[@AnnKaehler]

Had never heard this song before! The Holdovers movie is great and so is this song❤

[@jhull5870]

Hard to believe this song was released in 1972! Like others, I had never heard it before until I watched the Holdovers. Good movie and beautiful song. For someone that graduated from high school in 1971 and watching this video, well it feels like a walk back into time. A better and simpler time in many ways.

[@ploopy8780]

should check out his whole first 2 albums !

[@Jimmy-ns4on]

This song hit me like a brick when the credits rolled and I remembered it from the 70s but had never heard it since. Amazing. Almost like finding something that you never knew you'd lost...

[@r.a.mpictures]

A fantastic film and a brilliant song, what a gift ❤

[@cheery0163]

I've been going through Labi's discography recently. He is an amazing artist

[@claudialander6745]

Same! Holdovers - great movie - and this song is powerful! Never heard it but I’m obsessed! ❤ thank you for bringing this song to the masses! ❤ decades later but better later than never! ❤

[@udeychowdhury2529]

If I ever visit Boston...💚💚💚💚

[@jeanjackson1756]

Just watched the Holdovers and can stop playing this song

[@k777dpk]

Saw him about 1975 when he supported Frank Sinatra at the royal Albert hall, a night I’ll never forget ❤

[@jbri1]

wow. and he said how much he loves Sinatra. Sinatra's song, One For My Baby, really inspired him

[@StevenLewis-z6c]

That must have been special! Can honestly imagine Labbi opening for Frank...the soft melody's trumped by Sinatra and in part because of the highs and lows they both create in unison.

[@nickhalloway6068]

Great movie and great song!

[@shelley7425]

Holdovers for me too! Had to find this song, which is so true. Excellent movie!

[@SATAN666GOAT]

A brilliant artist and songwriter -- for those unfamiliar with his work . . . check out "Watch Me," possibly one of the greatest songs written in the 70s.

[@erikadavis4696]

Immediately recognized this on The Holdovers. It'll be a very sad day when this beautiful soul transitions to the afterlife.

[@KatharineCanfield]

Timeless song. So glad it's been brought back to us!

[@larrydunning8312]

Peace love and understanding brought me here

[@StevenLewis-z6c]

This guy is timeless! Not only was I fortunate enough to hear him sing..and to hear him play. So we're Jay-z..Eminem and Kany west plus probably many any more...and they passed it on to me and you alike.

[@josephmccormick-qv9rs]

How did this tune fly under the radar of '70's FM radio?

[@marioarturomartineznieva4962]

Conocía esta canción pero a escucharla en The Holdovers la aprecio mucho más. Excelente película y mejor canción.

[@heidiharper265]

Yo también, es fantastico!!

[@alexisjared8080]

I had listened to some of his work previously and definitely enjoyed it but hadn’t thought about it much. Then, after seeing the Holdovers, I found my way back to his music through this song. This album became not only so important to me, but easily my favorite album ever.

[@gfelipe1]

Crying never did nobody no good no how. That why I dont cry.. Loving never did me no good no how. Thats why I cant love me now. ..So why why am I lying now?.. Love this song

[@davidstorey6751]

Whomever filmed this video, was visionary. It captures the song in visionary, I can't stop watching it. Labi at his best and thank the universe for him 🙏

[@AlexandraMargaretScarratt]

Just what I was thinking. The way Labi looks straight at the camera at the end is so poignant and speaks volumes about the sad story of the song!

[@bonnieburkett3449]

Just watched this. Absolutely love his voice.

[@musclemusa]

He seems so sweet and kind

[@PaulBoulter-e5r]

They don’t come any better, I was touched when this came out,just so beautiful.

[@themotownboy1]

I know this song by Olivia Newton-John from the mid 1970s. I didn't realize it was Labi Siffre's song until I saw "The Holdovers" movie. WOW!!

[@rockybalboa1958]

Holdover❤

[@ahmedabdullah7538]

Just wow , this song touches something deep in my heart

[@margievillarreal8981]

I just saw this song on Heldover . It is a beautiful song that makes perfect sense ❤😢

[@dproukous1570]

Holdovers fantastic movie!

[@GlennByrne-j8z]

OMG.....when a song just takes you to a different place. I thought I'd never get to hear anyone like John Martyn or especially Nick Drake....and then This comes along. And his story is even more magical.... Pure Bliss

[@tommymorgan73]

Wonderful wonderful music!! No nothing about Labi until I seen a documentary on him! So happy this masterpiece is getting more exposure!

[@joyceearly2314]

He has a beautiful voice. Just ordered his cd❤❤

[@greenthumbmiller33]

Just wow.

[@KaathleenLujan]

So beautiful and the arrangement makes me tear up.

[@ProphetizeDubz]

This song changed my life

[@kimberlyvillanueva5817]

WOW!!!

[@brentwinfield5713]

Just a beautiful frikin song

[@andreasprokscha6357]

just discovered him through spotify last week, i am a big fan of his lovely music, poetic lyrics and clear voice, very calming and inspiring! Greets from Germany!
