“Dan Smith released this song in 2007 for the Bright Young Things contest. It's his first song that was officially released, on the CD of the contest”

This person looked for this song so hard and would be unfair to just kinda steal his views and full credits so, please, be considerate at that if you repost this. Thanks to him, after 13 years we are able to listen to this track, the first one Dan ever recorded 🤩

Infinity thanks to Jens Broeck for the hard work put into finding and sharing this❤️

Esta persona buscó muy arduamente esta canción y sería injusto que simplemente sus views y créditos sean robados así que, por favor, sean considerados si la comparten, denle créditos y redireccionen a su vídeo. Gracias a él, después de 13 años, podemos escuchar esta canción, la primera que Dan grabó 🤩

Infinitas gracias a Jens Broeck por el arduo trabajo realizado para encontrar y compartir esto❤️

me: *sees over 100 unread messages*

me, ignoring all of them: i should disappear in the mountains and never be found again

[counter-of-the-stars]

I wonder if I'll ever get over ignoring messages. .

I can blog all I want but once it's a direct message that could turn into an actual superficial conversation I freeze..

I guess with blogging, if I'm not directly talking to you then I don't have to worry about not knowing what to say back.

I'm just expressing.

in my next life i'm going to make a simple living eating mangoes for a live stream on some shady cam site

~Ignoring Messages - Dan Smith (lyrics)~

It's posters falling off the walls while your head hangs off the bed

Of dirty sheets that once were white but now are stained instead.

It's flying down a path through Hyde Park with a bottle tucked under each arm

All sitting on the floor in a plastic corridor staring hard

And talking rationally and with clarity

But uncontrollably.

And Sophie says, isn't it sad that you can't discuss what dying was like with your friends

And Sophie says, won't it be annoying when they're all crying and you're just dead.

It's waking up at 5 to 5 to catch a bus from town to backward town

All slipping and sliding down a muddy hill, just on your arse

Stuck halfway between complete hysterics and a moan.

And Sophie says, I want to be married with children coming out my ears,

I want a high powered job

And Sophie says, I want a funny man but only if you can be mates with him too.

I hope the Guardian take me regardless of my apathy

I want to come in and write and criticise, but I just can't be arsed right now.

It's 4 hours in the same position, moving your head and your foot and your arm

That is aching from turning and troughing, barely moving

You're either at 90 or you're practically parked.

And Sophie says, I want to mourn my mother on a wrought iron balcony in Paris

And Sophie says, in each hand a glass of wine and a cigarette will accompany me.

And I will smoke for her, even though she's not dead and I don't smoke

Ignoring the messages on the packets warning me where you'll choke,

With Après Moi, simply pumping out the stereo into the distance upstairs.

Ignoring sympathetic messages I'll take a glug of red or white, I won't care.

And as I puff away under the evening light, I'll flick back my blonde hair,

Whilst rubbing my poor grieving feet, we'll sit and my latest beautiful Pierre.

And Sophie says, that's for later, now I just wanna spend time with my friends.

Taking advantage of this “Bright Young Things” topic, here’s the whole session of Dan took in one of the shows that all the finalists did around the country after the contest during 2007.

Things I'm good at!

Ignoring all my messages for a minimum of one day
