Tindersticks - Dying Slowly Lyrics

Hartbreaking text ...... wrapped in the most beautiful voice ever

Great song, great animation!! (Lead "actor" looks a lot like Jean-Paul Belmondo)

absolutely genius !!

Me encanta

Сколько женщин вздыхают по тебе !! Другой бы таял от счастья.. Милый ,оглянись, улыбнись, оцени.. Ты с ними виртуально связан,за что я их всех ненавижу!! Моё настроение понятно.. Моя любовь не может себя украсить видеорядами и личными достоинствами.. Я могу оберегать твоё здоровье,могу помочь тебе создать насколько возможно комфортные условия,близкие к привычным .. Теперь наступило время выводить тебя из депрессии..Как некогда выводил меня - ты.. Климат здесь схожий с вашим, народ талантливый,весёлый(насколько позволяет жизнь) Земля,как я считаю, (и не только я ) - прообраз РАЯ- и красотой,и щедростью.. Всё хорошо, милый..Не переживай

This is the song that started my love of this band. The music and Stuarts dreamy voice combined around the deep lyrics. Just heaven!

Why people are so obsessed with themselves is beyond me. I have found that I mostly hate myself. I probably shouldn't hate myself but that is something I'm constantly working on. When you begin idolizing yourself I think it only leads to negative effects.
In the society that we live in the standard seems to be to do whatever it takes to make money. Lives don't matter, the environment doesn't matter, our world decays under the greed of careless people. We literally walk over each other to get on top. Money truly is the root of all evil. I long for the day that when the darkness is brought into the light. When people see the atrocities greed and selfishness have caused.
Not only do we allow people to die for economic prosperity, the system also poisons the earth itself. The more I dig the more saddened I become. Our history entails many dark things but in the deepest darkest places that's where light can prevail. There are solutions to the worlds problems we just need to shine light on those solutions. WE as a people. The constitution for this country talked about WE THE PEOPLE. We're all the same across the globe we have to realize that. The motto of this state(KY) "United we stand divided we fall." That statement has enormous meaning. It's time we stopped letting negative energy divide us and come together as one people. I believe there is someone who watches me and guides me who has taught me all these things. I can not define that being nor can anyone. You can not name something so complex.
Knowledge is power. Stop thinking in binary. Change the way you think. So many people are set to one thinking pattern. They have a system of rules. People live and die by these absolutes. It is insane and we will never evolve with these systems. The beginning of all knowledge is to know you know nothing. We are the thinkers, dreamers and doers. This world needs us.

thats very eloquently expressed dude. u have a good heart and soul i think thats clear. yes i think there has to be a collective effort to counteract the world's problems i love this song, it expresses the myriad doubts i have about myself, like am I part of the cure or the disease.

You don't seem to understand what depression is...
We KNOW all of this. But what good is it when every part of your brain tells you none of it matters, despite the logic?
I've been trying and struggling with this for years. So don't you fucking tell me that I'm obsessed with myself.

Kainlarsen He didn’t say you were ,he is saying as a whole people are obsessed with themselves and he is right .Depression is a whole different thing .

low self-esteem kills you.

fantastico.

Ötesine geçemiyorum..

just admit you sht in our house and thats it.

story of my life

+Nicola D'Ambrosio You never are alone, my friend :)

+Nicola D'Ambrosio yes, but this dying slowly is catching up just when I want to start living again.

@hedlik people need to remember that its important. thank u for sharing that info

His nose is a penis

This is what happens when you plan and hope and wait and fantasize, yet never really act upon your plans, never live in the moment, even though it seems so easy to just move and grab your life by its balls and finally have some fun... You tell yourself "I'll work on it tomorrow". But life just passes you by.
...
I make some coffee
Pull on that new pair of pants
I can get so far off
The feeling just falls away
...

In the end, we all die in our own arms.........

+Giovanna N What's dead is done
But never gone

I tried to listen to this in a crowded bar on my phone and it was awful.

Listening to music off a phone's speaker is always awful and absurd. Someone who really loves music won't do that!

try headphones next time and just stare at all the people in the bar

Gorgeous! 

also.....ich würd schon gern soooo fliegen im weg.....gehn.........

wow...bin froh das! gefunden zu haben

Let’s get it out there. I am terribly envious of my neighbor presently. He has actually been alone always and forever. Yet somehow he caused a part-time model to tell him she is in love with with him in less than a thirty day period. How is that actually manageable? He smiled and told me he tried the Cupid Love System (Google it!) I wish someone exquisite said that to me… I’ve not before seen him so content. Kind of makes me feel bad.

Saw them live in Oslo in th early 90.s Awesome! great to hear them again,thanks to wordsofexpectations!

catolix alcoholix



Ca

His nose is just...
It just looks wrong in so many ways.

haha you would know.

His nose has the shape of a penis.

The work of the animation is great, and the diving is naive.............

What an amazing videoclip !

I just, wanna lay ay down...

its better to be shot by a pistol if you are a horse...

this is amazing...

Cool video to the saddest song ever. Wouldn't recommend listening to this song on a rainy day by yourself.

beautiful song!!!!

beautiful song.i understand....

Every passion, ultimately, has its spectator: at the moment of death...

I think of Barney's short film when watching this. And, no kidding: Barney's short was really touching!!

Kai gamw ta kommatia!!!!!!!!!

tindersticks....bad ass!!!! seen them live and have all there music. deep shit, check it out seriously!!!!!!

jepp! masterpiece!!

@siarung 2.18 is wonderful!! The video is great, a bonus from my point of view :)

I agree, an absolute masterpiece. Cuts through my soul everytime I hear it.

Like all tindersticks productions, their songs grow on you, they last a lifetime...I love it to death.

reminds me of to hire a nurse

@ruben1million: Lucky us that they are as popular in Europe as soccer as well :D

I want to see them live soo bad...looks like I'm gonna have to go to Europe to see them...to bad here in America they are as popular as soccer...

L'ABC...

la chanson qui m'a fait découvrir le monde des Tindersticks. J'adooooore :)

@busterapeture of whom do you speak?

great music, can't wait to see them Sunday in Ljubljana.

Ja ovo obožavam do besvesti.

un gros merci a mon frere que jaime beaucoup pour mavoir aide a decouvrir ce merveilleux groupe...thanks Vince

Damn true...

Don't finding drepressing. I find it reliefing somehow...

What a depressing fucker of a song.

Yeah but they don't afraid of anything.

Masterpiece!

It was the first song I ever heard from Tindersticks and I was hooked immediately.

Just brilliant. I wish some of Elbow's deserved success had spilled their way.

This man has never written a bad song. Hit or miss my arse.

Agreed.

Thanks to tingse for the credit, but it wasn't me (Matt Palmer). I directed The Trojan Horse, which Tindersticks did the music for. The "Dying Slowly" video was directed by Duncan Kinnaird.

Great song, great video... I saw Tindersticks a couple of months ago.. the were fuckin' awsome

Explain that to the melancholy mind of a haunted artist...

So why botering on comming to spread your creative and wonderful opinion??

Moi même j'arrive pas à me sortir de l'enfer de l'alcool...

Hmmmmmmm......odd choice.

I masturbate to this.

i saw this video one morning on mtv2 before going to college years ago. since then, i'm a big tindersticks fan. love it.

In the end we all die in our own arms.
