(Submit New Badly Drawn boy Lyrics) (Submit New Badly Drawn boy Lyrics) Awesome | Reviewer: Julio ------ About the song Silent Sigh performed by Badly Drawn boy this is the best song i`d ever heard, it transmits something to you, i dont know what but it is a type of mixture between, the present and the future world, with the remember of the past and the present, been at the future percepction,and some crazy notes. Haunted by this song and lyrics until I located it... | Reviewer: WWII baby ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy I was born in 1941..a War baby, not a boomer so I knew all of the stars, etc.in the film industry who passed on in 2007. I, too, an avid TCM fan was caught by surprise when the Memorial was featured in December in between films. Thanks to Google I found it and now I can purchase the CD. The day I first heard it I burst into tears..especially touching for me when Jane Wyman slipped through the door...they all "walked away" , but we have their recorded talents forever. I was moved in the same way when "Stop All the Clocks" was quoted in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". Both of these express for us in words and music what we feel so deeply and are lacking in such a talent to create for ourselves. Fantastic | Reviewer: Riley ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy I, like most it appears, also first heard this great track on TCM during their tribute to those lost over the course of the year. I recognised Badly Drawn Boy's voice from the get. This is a wonderfully written song. Bravo to TCM for featuring it. Touching and very moving | Reviewer: Margo ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy I am an avid TCM Fan; however, after hearing Promises and the tribute to some of the greats in Hollywood and abroad, I found myself waiting for the next tribute just to hear the song. It touched me everytime and I realized that I had tears in my eyes, each and everytime. I lost my mother in law in December and everytime I heard it, I also thought of her. TCM did a magnificent job and thank you, Badly Drawn Boy, for such a wonderful gift. One to remember | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy This will undoubtedly be one of those songs that I will remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it for the first time. I too heard it for the first time on TCM.......what a gracious way to pay tribute to those who have passed and contributed to our entertainment throughout the years. Very moving lyrics paired with a perfectly eloquent music ensemble. Way to go Badly Drawn Boy. Love this | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy I heard this song on TCM and just had to find out who it was. I thought it sounded a little like Chris Rea. Great song!!! Now I just have to have a copy, so off to see if I can buy it. Had to Walk Away | Reviewer: Lora ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy This song is a beautiful backdrop to the imagery and for the tribute to all the great movie industry greats who passed on in 2007. Combined, the melody and video form an audio-visual tribute that is a splendid work of art, and I'm sure those to whom it is dedicated and their families are greatly honored by it. I lost a very dear elderly loved one in January '07, who happened to be an entertainer for 72 years, and I had been grappling with this loss for a long time, particularly during December. As I watched and listened to the lyrics while '07 faded away and '08 dawned, I felt he was singing the words to me, since I had to do just that -- walk away -- the hardest thing in the world when you love someone whom you don't want to release but feel you have no other choice. We had exchanged diamond rings and our "promise" was "forever" but in the end, there was nothing I could do but walk away. Thank you for this beautiful composition and thank you TCM for the beautiful tribute, which I'm sure has helped others through transitions in their lives. This song touched me deeply | Reviewer: Marion ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy I heard this not long ago on Turner Classic Movie Channel as the backdrop music for a small clip of entertainers who have passed on. The beautiful images of the entertainers set in a nostalgic mood was heart wrenching as the music and lyrics were perfectly timed with the scenes. This hauntingly sweet song will always stay with me, and it will always remind me of my true love. TCM uses this song. | Reviewer: Thomas ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy Turner Classic Movies is using this song in a short it is running during the 2007 holidays. The short is to pay tribute to all the movie people that have passed away in 2007. It is a spectacular song for this. It evokes tremendous emotion....

I first heard this song on the About a Boy OST. well darren looking like some rasta kinda guy, i never ventured to get hold of his album.yeah! however cliche it is, looks are decieving."Silent Sigh" is about the bestest song i ever heard. It is so Tweee IMHO. it is those pluckings on the guitar strings entwined with the sound of those keys acting as a dark and solid board and his voice scrawling like a caligraphy on it. The canvas is swell but more is the paint too. Damn my education!i cant find the words to say about the things caught in my mind. yet i have got enough education to perform....so here it is...a silent sigh! Favorite | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Badly Drawn boy Badly Drawn Boy...one word phenomenal. Deffinetly my absolute favorite artist. Props to him, if only more people knew of his work. The first song I ever heard from him was The Shining and every song I've heard from him since then I've loved. I adore the variation in instruments instead of just the drums, guitar, base and whatever instruments most hip hop artists use. I support badly drawn boy 100%! Promises... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy Great song this is, I love it, it reminds me of my girlfriend, I promised her everything it says in this song, and I can't walk away, even though we're having our bad times, maybe one day she'll read this and remember that I love her. What ever happens, through anything. I love you. Always, I promise. wow | Reviewer: nacho ------ About the song Once Around The Block performed by Badly Drawn boy I love the many music components to this song, 2-3 guitars (lead & acoustic), bass, drums, keyboard!

The Legend of Badly Drawn Boy | Reviewer: Jess Burge ------ About artist/band Badly Drawn boy I love Badly Drawn Boy so much, his music is so different and original, there is truly no-one like him in the music business. I first got into Badly Drawn Boy when I heard 'The Shining' in a film, and so I made it my mission to find the mysterious song. I then came across his album 'The Hour of the Bewilderbeast' and fell in love with it. I have been a firm follower of his music since then and want him to carry on for a long time. His albums are like little friends in a disc. I know them off by heart and they never seem old or boring. I only feel sad that he is not better known. Support Badly Drawn Boy, he's a legend!
