A Minor Incident Lyrics
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do
And if the chance should happen that I never see you again
Just remember that I'll always love you
You'd find a way to help yourself
You'll find another door
So shrug off minor incidents
And make us both feel proud
I just wish I could be there to see you through
Though every once upon a while, your head was in the clouds
There's nothing you could never do to ever let me down
And remember that I'll always love you
This song just expresses the bittersweet feelings and love that is shared by me and a special someone
Seems to be about the unspoken love that lingers in a relationship that has faded into obscurity. It reminds me of the feelings I hold for an ex - at the time when our relationship was ending I told her that I'd always love her even if we never talked again and that I hoped she found someone she could love. It was equally a heart-felt message wishing her happiness where ever life took her and a lame last ditch effort to see if there was anything to grasp onto. This is the same feeling I get from this song - an aplogetic response to the end of a relationship and a reluctant acceptance of what the future might bring.
I think that this song is written for the film "About a Boy" and it is the letter written to Marcus by his mum before she tries to commit suicide. It says in the film that the letter read "I'll always love you" and it does say in the song "I'll be a better person on the other side I'm sure." So that's my opinion.
You always were the one to make us stand out in a crowd Though every once upon a while, you're head was in the clouds Theres nothing you could never do to ever let me down And remember that I'll always love you
wow. that reminds me of my ex more than you can even comprehend. i must d/l this song.
i love this song. when marcus is standing in his living room waiting for fiona.
I think its basically a suicide note put into song. its a beautiful song and it reminds me of me and my my best friend. the part where fiona walks into the living room after attempting suicide always makes me cry. hehe.
I wish people that say "I gotta download this" would rather say "I gotta buy this CD"... =)
I do love this song though, most of BDB's songs are great when you get a feel for them. None is like any other...
well, I downloaded it first. then I bought it. It's a great soundtrack. I really wished that BDB would be nominated for the Best Song Oscar this year. I don't know what criteria the song must follow but the movie About a Boy and its soundtrack definitely go hand in hand.
when i saw Badly Drawn Boy play live, he said that this song is about a suicide note from a mother to her son before he played it. Such a sad song :'(
if you guys like this song, you should read "31 songs" by nick horby, who wrote "about a boy". he talks about this song in it
