    LYRICS
    There are too many people in this world trying to shout their names
    How am I supposed to know where to run If I don't know who's to blame?
    And I'll give people something along the way
    Is it ok to be afraid of love if you don't understand it?
    The nights are so long without you
    And the days speed up my god I'll never let go of you now
    Cause some things are not worth changing
    My heart swells to the size of an orchid
    It takes the rest of my heart with it going down down down...
    But I'm never going back home
    We've sent people into space without even really knowing
    If they're ever going to come back down
    And there are people asking just where I am
    Is it ok to be afraid of hope if you don't know how to keep it?
    The nights are so long without you
    And the days speed up my god I just can't lose you now
    When things are about to change
    My heart swells to the size of an orchid
    It takes the rest of my heart with it going down down down...
    But I'm never going back home
    If people on earth could just get together
    Then maybe we could find a place for each other
    (Are all my days coming around again? Now I know it.)

    Theres only one man that can go from a pop band to a rock/metal band to an acoustic folk band and make it work..and that ladies and gentlemen is Charlie Simpson...He's a f*cking genious and inspiration to us all.
    And this is a beautiful tune...Can't wait for the album!

    I discovered Charlie Simpson just last week. I read up on him and was astonished to find that he had been in the band 'Busted'. I'm from Canada, so forgive me for my ignorance when it comes to UK artists & bands. I honestly thought that this guy had always done this type of music. Denying that this guy is stellar in both writing and vocals aspects is just simply oblivious and ignorant. I can't believe people are bashing him. He's a real great listen. Love the soul this guy has in his songs.

    • @xxkissesz
      @xxkissesz Před 10 lety +2

      same here! I'm from Canada as well, and heard about him recently and love his music... its funny because i was obsessed with Busted when I was 12 and had a pretty long laugh when I found out it was the same guy.. (clearly my music taste has changed plenty of years later thank goodness)

    • @johnsamuels4048
      @johnsamuels4048 Před 9 lety +1

      I agree with you. I'm from the UK so knew vaguely about it all but I was only about 6-7 when busted broke up. The reason people bash him is coz he left Busted to go to fightstar and that caused the Band to end. I think they're stupid for doing so as it's obvious that he didn't like being in busted and he left to join a much better band.

  • @naruto7769
    @naruto7769 Před 10 lety +13

    I'm a massive Busted fan and yes I am gutted that it was because of him that Busted ended but I still respect Charlie with his decision to leave. It came to a point in Busted's career where he felt unfulfilled and unhappy with the music they were making so he decided to leave. He then made Fightstar where he finally made the music he always wanted to make which made him happy. Now with his solo career he is doing the exact same thing, making music and actually loving it. So calling him 'self fish' or having a 'big ego' for throwing away fame for happiness is ignorant and it needs to stop.

  • @TheMilkyFlame
    @TheMilkyFlame Před 10 lety +10

    All I have to say is that despite being 'selfish' for leaving busted, Charlie is much better off without them. Many of you probably don't like fightstar, but to me it opened my eyes to a totally different sound, following him on his new solo career has been awesome and with the new album to be released in May, I cant wait. This guy decided to stop doing something that didn't make him happy. Instead he followed something he loved doing..I commend him for that.

    The comments about his ego being too big for McBusted are PATHETIC. Does this music sound anything like what Busted played? NO. He left Busted for a reason. Charlie's changed, he's matured, it's not called having a big ego, it's called sticking by what he wants to do.
    Sure I'm even going to see McBusted but if Charlie doesn't want to join them, that's HIS decision, not yours.

    • @MrAaronhorgan1
      @MrAaronhorgan1 Před 10 lety

      He said in an interview the main reason he didnt go with Mcbusted was because of his new album and that he really wanted to focus on it, which i think is better! he is much better off alone in my opinion he can write the songs the songs that are much more personal to him :)

    I don't like the hate Charlie gets for not rejoining Busted. It is clear that when they broke up it was amicable and that Charlie clearly has a very different creative direction from the rest of the band.
    In his solo work he sounds much more honest and truthful to himself, that said I still enjoy some of Busted's songs - some of them have aged terribly.
    Back to this actual video, lovely song for some calm reflection. Thanks Charlie =)

    To those of you who are busted fans.
    Its fairly easy to just tell someone to do something that benefits you personally. Those of you I can only imagine are children, when you actually grow up and become and adult, you realise that singing 'Thats Whats I Go To School For' or anything busted did, is just below adulthood. James and Matt can move on and do what they will (May I mention that my girlfriend recently saw Wicked and Matt starred in it and Charlie has written some incredibly good and influential music). So kids, todays lesson is.Busted can teach you a basic guess of what the 'Year 3000' might look like, or that they like the way that an 'Air Hostess' dresses.... but busted will never teach you raw meaning of growing up and becoming an adult like Charlie has. Suck it.

      @@sko3925 ok so way back in the late 90's when he was a literal child he was in a boy band called Busted and wrote a bunch of hits. His record label proceeded to give a lot of his songs that he wrote to the Jonas Brothers and other bands (like the song 3000) so he quit, also he wasn't happy being used to write songs that he honestly didn't like and wasn't allowed to proform. But Charlie retained of lot of the rights to a lot of their songs do to the fact that he wrote most of them.
      He than formed a band called fightstar straight afterwards on the day the band dissolved.
      Around 10 years ago Busted reformed and Charlie stated he only join if they used a different label but they was already signed. They then merged with McFly to expand thier music library.
      What upsets a lot of fans was that when asked why he didn't join, he said that he wasn't going to be a songwriting monkey and that he should get a say in what happens to his music. True to his word when they signed to a different label and McFly went to do their own thing he rejoined the band.
      Alot of people are mad at him for breaking up busted and essentially holding a large portion of their music library hostage do to a record label decision.

    He is a world class songwriter and musician and his band Fightstar were superb! Not a popular style of music but a type that is enjoyed by fans of "proper" music and his solo album was great too.
    He through away fame to make quality music. Something that real bands do

    Love this song. You were amazing in Edinburgh. Travelled there just to see you support Deaf Havana & can't believe I finally saw you after many years of wanting you to play in Australia.. but I came to you and am so glad! Can't wait for the new album, the new songs were lovely
