I'm shocked there are not more comments here to discuss such an amazing song. I first heard this song about a year ago, got it, had a phase where it was all I listened to it, then stopped. A week or so ago, I re-downloaded it because I heard my brother listening to the album which it is on. I'm ashamed to say this is the only song I know by Badly Drawn Boy, but I hope to get the album and fall in love with more!

As far as the meaning goes, it's a song about perserverance (as someone already said.) The entire interpretation is quite obvious, which helps the listener apply it to their lives more. It's a song everyone should here. From rap-listeners, to emo kids, to metalheads, to the unlabeled such as myself. =D. Great song.
