[@comsatteur6893]

i am a 23 year old guy from the philippines and the divine comedy has been one of the best discoveries in my life these past few years! heard foreverland album by chance and i just had to stan

[@catherinehaynes3218]

Ditto..x

[@harwong20]

You should listen his early albums, I would say they are gifts from heaven❤️❤️

[@sophielacharlotte]

Neil Hannon never stops being creative.

[@georgescully9586]

"I've been a poet, a preacher, a fool, and a rake. And I don't regret a single take..." I'm madly in love with this line. Cheers from the states & thank you for the music.

[@tawnyfrogmouth2022]

same, that lyric hits so well!

[@robbiechan4916]

So lovingly spot-on❤

[@mcfly3510]

Neil Hannon is like a fine wine!

[@mrnosebear7406]

Yes, he is getting better and better.

[@trishahammond5578]

Chateaunuf du pape quality ❤

[@adriangrace1111]

And better looking

[@gc7820]

Such an underrated band. Every line of every song is crafted with purpose and some super catchy stuff like this, national expres and something for the weekend

[@MarcoFHQ]

00:07 That reminds me, in 2016 I went to Vienna and wanted to recreate the Fin de Siecle album cover, but I couldn't find the monument where the photo was shot (I was very close). I went again this year and found it, but now the monument was covered and protected because there was construction around it. I guess the third time will have to be the charm!

[@MrBalloooon]

Something for the weekend😉

[@humanityn.m2794]

Je pense que c'est un des meilleurs groupe de musique de son temps. I think they are one of the best music band of their time.

[@mrnosebear7406]

Oui, tu as raison. Neil est super et formidable.

[@kmayam]

Happy to discover The Divine Comedy about 14 years ago. Neil's music is never disappointing! It's also a kind of anti-depression therapy.😊🌿

[@catherinebielskis8152]

Mayak-81 Totalement de votre avis. C’est une bouffée d’air pur🙂👍

[@islianhere]

Have to agree, they sound best on stage in my opinion.

[@ronaldsecmezsoy-urquhart226]

I love Neil, one of the best lyricists around and great live and a great sense of humour.

[@ambroisemerlin1416]

Neil, you nurtered my childhood, my adolescence and my adulthood. You have my biggest thanks for that, as well as my admiration. Love from France.

[@bellhowell2788]

Love from Florida

[@mrnosebear7406]

Greetings from Germany

[@robbiechan4916]

Love from Hong Kong ❤

[@squirry]

It's been almost 30 years since I first saw Neil perform in Nancy (France) ... I still haven't found any musician I love more. His music will probably be playing when I'm on death bed if I have anything to say about it 😂

[@MTMTMTMTMTMTM]

love from japan.

[@marklucas5639]

(Mark here) This beautiful new song has sent my spirit soaring, what a wonderful thing it is to write and perform songs of such wit, depth and assertation of being alive. Thank you Neil and please keep many more of these coming. Can't wait to see you in Ipswich!

[@catherineg.5384]

The Divine Singer of these two centuries 😻

[@Bilge-ko5qp]

I'm out of words, i can't tell how i feel at the moment! An amazing song, music and lyrics as great as the clip itself with lots of little details and wonderful scenes! I'm in tears of joy, how beautiful work you all have done with this one, legendary masterpiece like the others! Thank you Neil and everyone who gave their time and effort on this project, it will be on loop everyday for months i'm sure! :)

[@bellhowell2788]

Excellent pop-up on my youtube feed. 💗

[@davidwatson3643]

This song says it all. Great writing and vocalist. Wow! It is great! I wish I could sing like this.

[@saralast2570]

Couldn't have put it better. I adore Neil and everything he has ever done and this song is amazing and poignant. 👍💕

[@roddcutts2132]

Only just found out about this band and all I can say is awesome. Just bought one of their cds.

[@richardwashington620]

What a wonderful song. Brings tears of joy and speaks to the heart of anyone who’s lived a bit and survived it all. Absolutely agree - if I had to choose, I’d choose now too!

[@paulavory1837]

Still got it after all these years. One of the greatest gigs i went to, seeing them live at the Royal Festival Hall with a full orchestra (a short album about love).

[@blue_knot]

This is gonna be a certified hood classic! Edit: THIS HAS BEEN A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC HOLY SHIT!!

[@haifa2605]

I'm so in love with this song and the band love from Saudi Arabia 💕

[@jamesbeech]

Love the Divine Comedy and love this song: "I choose now"-words to live and love by.

[@michaelkennedy8270]

What a way to do an autobiography!

[@simonidastankovic2627]

What a delight....

[@janetbarker6269]

Brilliant! am I the only one who thought it would be Divine Comedy bloopers though?!! probably!!

[@catherinehaynes3218]

Ohhhhhhhhhh that VOICE ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lungloma8805]

.....and love from munich / germany!

[@marigea3486]

Best mistake ever made: listening this song countless times on repeat

[@davebarlow6457]

Quite simply a masterpiece. So refreshing to hear some great new music and lyrics. This kicks most of today's tedious music into oblivion. Stumbled upon this on radio 2 where they always seem to add good new releases to their playlist , unlike many other radio stations.

[@anneross1021]

❤

[@jamie5659]

Neil has to be one of the most consistent performers ever, he still continues to be great even after all this time.

[@HATARI_FANGIRL]

Neil is so awesome

[@ivancampos2289]

I really love TDC. I found them a few years ago in a mexican radio and, in that moment, I didn't know that I was meeting something biggest. It's great to have them back

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Wonderful new song! LOVE the lyrics. What a great band Divine Comedy are!

[@ellendrowne4438]

No but this is making me so so emotional 😭 Beautiful, gorgeous track. Neil, you're a superstar, thank you for being you xx

[@peter_aka_hamamass]

Cannot wait for it to become Feb. 4, 2022❗ Very much looking forward to this release 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@chriscarr4984]

The ever brilliant Neil H proves he is still top of his game. A lovely trip for Divine Comedy followers as well with the video footage reminding us of the journey we have shared together over the years. Bravo

[@milesunwin992]

Neil always finds subjects to write and sing about which touch on our lives. This is an anthem for us all as we get older and look back on what we have done - good and bad, right and wrong. At the end of the day we can't regret our actions but just live with and lean from them. Sums it all up.

[@都志子-n6k]

あーもう大好き😂25年前の記憶が❤

[@revzombie]

This is the second time I've listened to this song and think I'll be playing this many more times as it seems to sum up parts of my life 😉👍❤️

[@JohnnyF71]

YES! Mr Hannon, new music from you is one of life's great treasures 🙌🏼

[@aronjanzen]

Love it! Familiar, yet he always remains fresh! Maybe it’s just be, but a tad Abba-like.

[@paulschofield4970]

Without doubt the most entertaining front man within the last two decades ….. his song writing and live performances are timeless masterpieces…… if you haven’t seen TDC live then suggest you do …. Music with humour at its best and they have toured and entertained Europe in some fantastic venues…. Can’t wait to hear you soon …. Thanks for the memories so far

[@randomtransportguyx4397]

I'm off to see them in halifax on the 13 of May and I'm very excited I'm 16 and discoverd them 2 years ago and it's very exiting

[@michaelbeeck3709]

The newest gem in King Hannon's crown. That thing must weigh TONS by now......:-)

[@una_10bananas]

Yea that was brilliant

[@CornholioDK]

Neil hannon forever 💖

[@LegendaryKenneth]

Well this is lovely

[@LisaLoops]

Well, I just love that to bits! Neil, I adore you! Please don’t EVER leave us!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@trishahammond5578]

Sublime ❤❤❤

[@Yokodono]

Eyyyy lesgoooo!

[@pedroschulz1823]

Menos mal que estáis de vuelta! Mucho ánimo y suerte con la gira! Nos vemos en el concierto!

[@jonathanevangelidis4010]

Good song and looking forward to the album, can’t wait to have your Spanish Eurovision isolation song to play from an album rather than playing it through KZbin, very funny and incredibly catchy and deserved a proper release, hoping for more like this 👍🏻

[@gillianward2954]

Lovely song xx

[@stevebrookes6014]

My life story in words

[@davidtilley4713]

Sublime. A simply wonderful song. Hannon is a genius. So under rated and hopefully he’ll now reach the wider audience he deserves.

[@lurspops1517]

Fittingly this new gem from DC echoes a quote by Giacomo Casanova : 'one who makes no mistakes makes nothing' .

[@jlo13]

Love the intro 😎

[@brynafon]

Simply divine.

[@gudrunpowell3602]

Love, Love this song. Played it hundreds of times. So good.

[@thepiperatthegate8827]

I Choose Now! That's you and me both, Neil. ; ) Fantastic song! And so life-affirming.

[@amandahugandkiss8011]

Absolutely Gorgeous! 🤩 👏

[@samjordan7623]

Saw you guys in Cork in May of 2022, I just want to thank my mum for introducing me to you. You’re criminally under appreciated!

[@rachcelmorley9711]

Love him 💚🍀👍

[@_k2086]

his voice always makes me happier LOVE IT

[@lesleyturner1733]

Absolutely love his unusual voice and the latest I think Hit, The Best Mistakes. The lyrics are so special and the orchestra is wonderful too.

[@divchynad]

So looking forward to this!

[@saralast2570]

Can't wait to see him in May. Have loved The Divine Comedy for years. 😍

[@karmanjakka]

Omg...yes!!

[@mikinikolic3456]

Absolutely adorable. Love from Serbia ❤️

[@trishb5738]

Wonderful.

[@Gunner.Bell.]

"They were the best mistakes I've ever made!" ... oh yes! Those words could come from my mouth.

[@rafifnautikosantoso3781]

My favorite song rn

[@davecostello560]

Forget the National Express - Neil is a national treasure.

[@simonlawrencesings]

Soooo excited!

[@deebee8290]

i love this

[@tawnyfrogmouth2022]

i love how 90s this song actually sounds, like its a throwback both lyrically and musically. super fun!!!

[@VJdustin]

Thank you for your music, Neil & The Divine Comedy. It's a pure joy :)

[@divchynad]

My goodness, you are brilliant! I love your music to bits. There is always joie de vivre to it, something that never fails to make me feel optimistic

[@stephenmoss8428]

I can't wait for the 26th of April now. I feel like 23 years ago listening for the first time at college. Excellent!

[@Pollie410]

Bravo Neil! I adore the sentiments and the memories - what a delightful composition.

[@miserablemozz8714]

New material from Neil is always a pleasure for the lugholes. Great song and a career retrospective in 4½ minutes of wonderful video. Great work good sir.

[@doofstar57]

This is truly magnificent!
