Athlete is an Ivor Novello Award winning English indie rock band formed in Deptford, London, comprising Joel Pott (lead vocals and guitar), Carey Willetts (bass and backing vocals), Stephen Roberts (drums and backing vocals) and Tim Wanstall (keyboards and backing vocals). Recently, the quartet have recruited Jonny Pilcher of Weevil as a live guitarist.

Friends since the age of fourteen, Athlete took their wide ranging influences such as Grandaddy and The Flaming Lips and started jamming and practicing in the basement of The Bear, a pub which was converted into a church and sandwich bar, on Deptford High Street in 1999. They began recording there, before sending demos out.

Tony Curran played Vincent Van Gogh amazingly and this song just made his acting even better. This is a very beautiful song of pain and love and describes Vincent Van Gogh just perfectly. It practically makes me cry when I hear it.

Thanks Guys in Athlete, and the Dr Who staff who chose this.. it was perfect.. perfect... finally.. a really widely viewed tribute, to our artist of love and pain. I have the same life, but in multiple arts, and sciences, i can so relate to VVG.

What a bright and beautiful song. I'm so glad Doctor Who used this song. It fit perfectly in that scene and that scene always makes me cry, no matter that I've watched Vincent and the Doctor three times. Thank you.
