one cool 19 year old..

i've been hearing paolo nutini's last request on bbc2 for a couple of weeks and really like the song a lot! so i did some digging today... and lo and behold! the guy is only 19 years old!! how does someone write a song like that at 19 years of age? and get that angst in one's voice at 19? i thought i was one of the rarities that aged to a 100years before her 15th birthday. there we go, that's another myth shattered... ;)

the lyrics are soooo depressing! also, if you think about it.. at a baser level.. maybe he just wants some one last time? :-P (/me ducks any rocks thrown by hard core fans of the song... i really do like it a lot.. and no, i don't think the kid is just bucking for one last, well we all know what rhymes with buck)

(wow! what a completely crass and tasteless post.. about a truly beautiful song too.. who was it that said that an empty mind is the devil's workshop?)
