I played this over and over the year my husband died. This still encourages when I need it. It got me through some of my darkest darks. Forever thankful.

How can it be the saddest-happiest and happiest-saddest song at the same time? It makes me want to dance around the room while crying.

fabulous lyrics

The first gig I ever went was James a young 13yr old told my folks I was staying at friends, a few cans of redstripe and this song and that night has influenced my life ever since!

[michellerooney]

Still love this song so much, reminds me of my younger days in the night clubs

[grthn]

God I love this track. This is my my college days. ❤️

[NiallAllen]

These people filled a huge void in music, and still do. Majestic.

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray

Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears

Down
Down

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy

Tim is such a kind humble guy. Leeds United fan. MOT

[Merglet]

These sessions are meant to be like a studio session, but with an audience. And I'd bet 80% of the audience never heard the song before lol

[DavidCobb]

The sound guy never realised that the guitarist’s vocal mic was turned down. So much for harmonies.

[DavidJones-buvr]

Proper band - tempted to say they deserved more commercial success - but actually did they need it ? Those that know - know

[Koy]

found this song thanks to GOT, its amazing..

[adamwilliams]

I would have been up on my todd going on one 😂 love this tune

[DiBoDSC]

Unbelievable!!! One of the greatest Bands played there her best song and nobody moved, danced or sang there!!! Portland, shame on you!

[smhg]

Were the audience not allowed to move? They need a kick up the bum - they're witnessing genius FFS!!

[wubby]

found this in 2017 when Chris martin sang this at the Manchester Concert

[hugh]
