Awesome, passionate! Anyone who's had a very sexual, intense relationship will appreciate this song.

I simply cannot listen to this song. It make me cringe with embarrassment. He is absolutely begging for abuse.

The tremolo in the voice is purposeful. Also, watching Paolo Nutini's intensity in concert on Austin City Limits, not ick.  yum.

You can relax, he's far from 80, but that is a bit of an ageist remark. I hope that everything will still be working fine when I'm 80, and as you age, you may well have a similar hope (for yourself, rather than for me.

Excellent album, well worth a listen.

Italian four generations ago, then third generation Scottish! ;) He is from Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. His dad was of Italian descent and ran a fish and chip shop. Encouraged early on for his singing talent, Nutini finally moved to London at age 17 and began performing live. Rest is history....

{#Clap} I'd be happy to say these things, and even to admit to being a stain on the bedsheet. I suspect yer man Paolo won't have much trouble getting his "candy", though, as the vulnerable feeling man can be quite attractive to many women, and he's a pretty fit guy too. The voice is a bit of an acquired taste, but it is real, unlike some cringe-making falsetti I've heard (step forward, Morrissey). 7 from the Albaphile Nottingham jury.

Yep, few self-respecting men admit to being a "stain" on your sheets!

I had the pleasure of seeing him and his band up close and personal at the Guitar Center in Boston a few years ago. Each and every one of the members is not only talented but they are all amazing in the looks department too! Maybe it is just me and my affinity for the Scottish! :)

But I'll respond to the substance.

When I feel embarrassment on behalf of another person exhibiting cringe-worthy behavior, that is called "empathy", defined as "vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another". I imagine that you have experienced it, though perhaps not in this context.

What has Scotland or the Scottish got to do with it? I made no mention of either.

By "complete indecision", I mean a complete absence of decision. Not an oxymoron.

Now I'll admit that "pathetic little whiner" is rather too harsh, and likely what prompted your attack in the first place. Mr. Nutini may be a fine man, and my comment should have been directed at the persona he puts forward in the song rather than him as a person. But I find still that persona and the way it is embodied in the music and voice infuriating and difficult to listen to.

Wow.  Um, and ouch.  Sorry, folks.  I offended, and I really hate doing that. Sometimes my fingers get away from me and type the most unbobly things.  I'll try to curb my opinions in the future.

He's fabulous live, and his repetoire is broad. Nutini is supertalented. I saw him spring of 2010 in Dubai, it was a great show. Can't wait to see him again!

Sometimes 'distinctive sound' isn't a compliment. In the case of Mr. Nutini, I'd use it as high praise. I'd take one Paolo Nutini over a thousand sound alike popsters any day. Oddball quavery phrasing, multi-culti accent and all.

So - you're cringing in embarrassment. Why?  YOU'RE not the one singing.  Unless you hail from Scotland, or are Scottish by descent, or... wait a minute - none of that matters!  My comment is: You wrote "Pathetic little whiner, who can't even decide on a pitch. He slides around from note to note with complete indecision."  First: You're making personal judgements on someone you don't even know.  Second:  You use two forms of "decide" in the same paragraph which, in effect, is a form of indecision on its own.  Third:  You refer to "complete indecision" which is an oxymoron. Were it "complete," it would be "decision." "Indecision" is an act of incomplete decision.

And now, it's time for me to remind myself of my credo:  "I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man (or woman.)"  I love Paolo Nutini's music. {#Yes}
