What a load of hype over nothing! Has anyone else heard the rest of his album? What a dreadful song.

When I first heard it, I thought what a load of old tripe- but the more I heard it- and listened to the lyrics, the more it grew on me- it struck a chord with me as I was very ill 6 years ago with a brain tumour- obviously at the end of the song, his lady has cancer- there's a story to it, unlike most of the unforgettable rubbish released today.

Don Henley recently released 'Take a picture of this'- again, a song with a story that people can relate too.

I personally find Jamie's voice a little grating. It's the way he pronounces "that" in the song which is very "ooh so posh, so British" in the same way I struggled with James Blunt ten years ago.

It's a really nice song with a beautiful video. Don't see what's awful about it personally.

My husband loves it. I personally hate it that much when it comes on the radio at work we switch it off.

Awful repetitive dross, with a hint of Married with Children by Oasis.

It's dreadful. Don't understand the appeal at all

i really like it ....the song is earnest ...admirable...nice warm vocal and melody ...but the lyrics are really good...

the song reminds me of a mix pop folk and ed sheeran. It does remind me of nizlopi- jcb in places. But that is no bad thing.

and then the background that he's 39 being making music and touring for years and finally appreciated is just great. Inspirational for all undiscovered talent. It is nice to have something a little more folky in the charts.
