City and Colour - The Girl Music Video

Heart-ness!

Beautiful song! Love how there's two versions- both acoustic, but one is with the full band and the first just him and his guitar. That voice is just perfect. Sweet, clear with a touch of huski-ness. Owh, i just wanna cry at how pretty the song and his voice is.

The full band bit is cheerful, belies the deeper lyrics. I like the first bit more than the second bit but i bob to the second bit- it would feature in eliza's indie disco, right at the end of the night.

Oh, what is a closet romantic optimist to do?

Play out a romantic situations with people i know in it. I'd like to think that this would be a perfect song for him to sing to her. I have romantic notions for everyone- yes, i make little romantic dramas outta all of your lives.

i'd find it ironic if this singer was gay...

He's married to the girl in the video- the song is for her, a real-life breathing girl.....Lucky thing!

If i had to marry a song.....Hmmm......this song would score highly, thoughtful and cheerful and honest in that acoustic kinda way and ....but i dont know, im really indecisive....

The lyrics are so sweet.....the rest of his songs are pretty good too....he's from Alexis on fire, but this is his solo project.

Benjamin Biolay- he is very the Gainsbourg, no?

I like the sexy husky french voice and i love the video for the song....I like the bit of the song that breaks off into a record (in english too!) Good choice Shazzer...

What song would you marry, anonymous?
