To fucking HATE the dirge like tones of that James Arthur song

It is always on my local radio. Woman pukes, he makes her breakfast in bed and takes the kids to school and is in love. Great. Romance at its finest!

I like it it's almost me and dh's story. I was very very pissed the night we got together and remember nothing 😞

YADNBU! It's really is the biggest pile of shite I've ever had the misfortune to listen to.
But James Arthur is a complete dick, imo.

His album is really quite good though. This is by far the worst song on there

Misses the point

I just drove past Arthur Street. Now the song is in my head again.

It is a shite song, you're right.

Give me Yesterday, I Will Always Love You, Your Song or God Only Knows any day of the week. Modern music ain't a patch on what we used to listen to!

YADNBU I especially hate the bit where he says he wants to be together when they're ghosts!Confused

IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes · 30/12/2016 14:48

The ghost thing is particularly creepy. Writing their wedding vows must have been awkward. "So this whole ' until death do us part' thing...no. Fuck that. I vote we remain a couple until the next spiritual realm."

MrsMattBomer · 30/12/2016 14:56

I must admit it doesn't annoy me as much as "Little Things" by One Direction which is sub-Ed Sheeran fake sentimental shite.

Please explain what "You can't go to bed without a cup of tea/ And maybe that's the reason you talk in your sleep" even means? It's been years and it still gives me the rage.

careerandfam · 30/12/2016 14:57

haha totally agree op, it's terrible!

Boundaries · 30/12/2016 14:59

Mrs having a cup of tea before bed would give me chronic insomnia.

But that doesn't rhyme.

snapcrap · 30/12/2016 15:00

MrsMattBomer - Ed Sheehan wrote Little Things!

I can't bear James Arthur's fake, croaky, pub singer hideous voice either and the song is a rip off of that Script song as someone else said.

But have to agree the lyrics are clearly looking back at the way they met, he doesn't take a hungover stranger's kids to school Grin

snapcrap · 30/12/2016 15:00

Ed Sheeran that would be

MrsMattBomer · 30/12/2016 15:03

Oh that makes sense then! I've never been a fan of Ed's awful love songs. I still can't believe a song about a fucking drug overdose gets played at weddings.

CanaryFish · 30/12/2016 15:13

Can we add the Niall Horan song to thing "it's so haaaaaaaaaaard" followed by the "din din din din din " of the guitar

poshwomanatchristmas · 30/12/2016 15:54

Which one, Matt? Grin

I am laughing at 'he doesn't take a hungover strangers kids to school.' Grin how romantic!
