This song is unreal. Absolute perfect in every way. Can't believe it was released 27 years ago as it still sounds as fresh and exciting as ever. Pure bliss.
This tune is a hidden gem. The broken beats, the ghostly pads, the sexy voice. A dark edge. Like it was a song that never existed. A dark horse. Open your mind. 10/10
@@philipginn4579 Hey man, it gets better. Don't let those memories define your future. You're worth more than that. Keep your chin up man, I know it's hard but it will get better.
Ah the summer of 1997..As an 18 year old I take pride that those late years in the 90s was the last generation to be going out before mobile phones really took hold of society ..great days and this was one of the tracks constantly being played in the clubs that summer ..any teenagers reading this enjoy your youth because in the blink Of an eye it’s gone ..they really were great care free days!🇬🇧 ✌️
In August 1997, I played the city square of a capitol, not music so much as mixed sounds from the history of technology, among which was 512 tracks of marching feet making the gradually imposing rhythm of what could've been a DJ set. Doesn't matter how many people were there, and not whether money was made, what matters is that there were no fences, and the cultural department let me go ahead after I played a bit of what I planned to do for the cultural mayor. The world was more open, then.
@@comedygold1278 I was born in 78 ..I’m sure every generation looks back on there youth with wide eyed enthusiasm and rose tinted glasses..but for me the 90s really were special..how can 25 years of just flown by so quick??
If you are watching this in 2024, just remember, you have got this and that you are a Legend ❗ 💯 😉 (I really do hope those going through a tough time, that my words give you a glimmer of encouragement and keep strong 💪. We are here to support 💯💥)
I lived in Berlin in the 90’s (94-98), working on the tools and being English we worked on a Saturday morning, the `German’s didn’t. Driving across the city in mid-winter -8’c showing on the incar display & not seeing another car or soul about for most of the journey, then this came on the radio. It was perfect for that moment & it’s stuck with me now for near 30 years. Whenever I hear “your not alone” I’m back driving across a dark deserted East side of Berlin.
@@johnturtle6649 I can only comment about the years I lived in Berlin, but back then the German’s worked 40hr weeks after that they got heavily taxed, it’s about quality of life. The English worked 12 hr days and untill 1pm or 4pm on the Saturdays. Some companies the guys work 3 12hr days with no lunch hour and had a four day weekend other like the tower crane drives worked our hours but took the overtime pay not as money but holiday time. The drivers loved it as for every week the worked they got a near a week off with pay, Ralf the driver on my section didn’t miss a day for the 16months of the job we were on and he planned to do a year of back packing with his year off with full pay.
Ahhhhh man. I was 17 when this came out. What a beautiful summer. What a beautiful time to be alive. 17. Wow. Im almost in tears. Those beautiful memories.

A song that's stuck with me since I first heard it in high school. Instantly transports me back there. Not to any specific memory or time, but that FEELING. So unique, dark, ineffable. Love it.
My 75th birthday today so i decided to play all the music i love and this is the first one. Its timeless. It speaks to me now just as strong as it did when i heard it the very first time those decades ago.
2000 was my last year in the NAVY, and this song was part of a mix I had. I turn 47 this year and this was just yesterday for me. NO MORE WAR, NO MORE VOODOO ECONOMICS. WE ARE BILLIONS, THEY ARE JUST A FEW.
Omfg... I have been looking for this song for FOREVER!!!! ....my dad always used to play it when I was younger (10) and before I didn't remember the words just the way the song sounded...the only way I was able to find it was by barely remembering recently (and finally the lyrics) "open your mind, surely there's time... " I couldn't remember anything besides that. (24 now) I'm so happy I'm crying! 🥺🥺🥺💗💗💗💗💗💗
I remember listening to this on my walkman in my local lido when I was 15 years old. Music from the UK has always been incredible. I love Britain! Greetings from Germany
2021 - это не то, что временной отрезок для этого трека, это состояние души, для тех кто в глубоких 90-х когда-то услыхав один раз эту мелодию, бегал по улицам и спрашивал, кто же её исполняет, ибо в то время о Шазаме еще даже и не подозревали. Счастливое было время, время романтики.....
У меня сильные воспоминания по покойному отцу. 5 утра , ростовские зелёные поля , вокруг роса с легким туманом , мы на зелёном 412 москвиче , мне 10 лет, он жив ....
time doesn't stand still... but the next 3:51min close your eyes and let time stand still... Even beter, it will take you back to 97...replay of memories, innocence and joy❤.
Not gonna lie out of all 90s hits , this aged the best. People who either younger or lived under the rock would never guessed it came out almost 25 years ago. I love this track... absolute masterpiece
I was 24 and got posted 7000 miles away. Didn't see my family and friends again for 4 years. Saw a lot. This track was on a tape I brought with me. It brought me comfort during any trauma. It's a warm place to play this track
This will always remind me of Mum who is thankfully still with me and I'm caring for due to vascular dementia and blindness. She liked it and I remember coming home and hearing her singing in the kitchen. Even though I know there will be a time when my best friend leaves me, I won't be alone given the great presence she is in my life and has always been. It's a journey I will never forget or regret being a part of. Amongst all the many things she taught me, one of these was that you never truly understand the value of cherished moments until they become memories.
Wow love these tunes I'm ill and I'm actually using before medicine and meditation we are never alone I've lost everything and I've found God they come in many forms and especially music thanks 🙏🎶 God is a DJ
How perception changes as we grow. As a child, I thought an old lady sang this, now watching video again after years, I can see a beautiful young woman.
Love this song. Most vivid memory of it was a house party New Years Eve seeing in 2000 and a bunch of us, very close friends hugging and telling each other how much we loved them (usual loved up mess 😀). Of those that were there 4 are now gone, suicide, accidents & illness, all in their early 30's. Brings back some very bitter sweet memories but still smile where I hear this song and remember that night. It was the last time all of us were together in one place and all were so full of life and joy.
I went thru such a hard time when I first heard this- I was an 11 year old going thru a difficult scoliosis operation. Now I'm older, I'm immensely grateful to everyone who just helps people thru their music, and I'm sure there's a special place in heaven for you :)
I WAS SENOIR IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THIS CAME OUT MY DAD DIED 2 YEARS` PROIR THEN MY UNCLE DIED I WAS ALIVE BUT I WAS DEAD IT WASN`T TILL I FOUND NEW LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST THAT MY SOUL RE ENTER MY BODY 'GOD BLESS YOU'
Maaaan.. This is one of those _really_ obscure gems. I had this on a cassette tape and never could figure out who sang it although I would occasionally search for it online back in the early 2000s on my webTV. It's nice to be able to finally jam this again.
I used to sing this song to my daughter when she was a babe. Now she is leaving for Europe for the whole summer, this song really resonates with today for me.
hello emily drling how r u? im gud thnk4ask mysefl arjan Patel frm india want to say hello2u and invite u 4 franship with me r u luk 4 a cute indian guy like me? myself engineer student graduated university Delhi 2004
Ruth Ann is the singer and her lost "love" in this video is Tim Kellet, the Keyboard/Synth player and one of the Sound Engineers of this song. Apparently she works for British Gas now, which is sad to hear considering how successful she was in 1997. ☹️
At least she gets warmer in winter time with all that cozy gas... Ha ha ha!!! Love her voice btw gem from 97 I remember listening to the radio back then and the host of the top 40 ranking presented OLIVE like a premiere British group I was blown away by the rhythm, I was fed up of listening constantly to Don't Speak (No Doubt) and Miss You (Everything But The Girl) on the radio back then in every station. Thank God OLIVE showed up to save my day. Warm regards from a very distant place called Chile.
I'm 31 so I wasn't old enough to really get into this sort of music at the time, but it reminds me of late night drives with my dad. Any sort of 90s trance and dance does. More of a rock and metal kinda guy these days but I have a big soft spot for this sorta stuff, and this is a classic! Great memories as well.
There's something so dreamlike & far-away about this tune, & it's set against a building techno backing that alternates with that one-note synth line, topped with Olive's reassuring yet yearning voice , so it makes a Big, Big One for Your Heart and for Your Dance.
I remember when this song came out for the first time I was blown away because it sounded so unique at the time. And that reversed / nonreversed synth was also interesting.
1996. A more permissive and playful world. We were free, we were high, we were alive. We were together. Today's isolation and coercion madness is infinitely sad.
I will forever remember how I first heard this masterpiece all these years ago. I used to leave the radio on all night, couldn't fall asleep without it, and one summer morning I woke up to this. It was unusually early for me - my brain must have told me: "Wake up, mate! You don't want to miss this one!". It was one of the amazing moments of my life.
I've found listening to a lot of songs while I sleep allows me to appreciate them differently, even from my favorite artists. Recently I fell in love with Analogical and Jaded by deadmau5 in this manner.
I used to listen to radio all night long also…I was 14 recorded it from radio to tape and constantly repeat..In my teen years I had my radio on all the time, that was our iphone back then
first time I remember hearing this I was 5 years old, being driven to football training in the middle of a heat wave, car window down, smell of freshly cut grass, drinking my panda pop, one of my favourite childhood memories I have.
I love this song! It takes me back to those 90s raves on the weekend, staying up all night… Everyone’s doing E and feeling good and hoping the night won’t end. Those were the days!
Drinking, dancing, dating, pills, no worries, enjoyment, no barriers, no judgement, happiness. A time when we just got on with stuff and had a laugh. Yes there was shit going on, but not like now, so much pressure from everywhere, breakdowns, anguish, anxiety.
I was year 10 in high school when I first heard this, and I have not forgot this tune. As a man the 90s was a decade of continuous new musical genres all hitting in every direction. I loved going to hmv,tower records and spending time listening to new old music. We had no youtube and ease of music availability, a cassette zo record of radio, if your lucky cds or the prime della creme VINYL..
La musique et la rythmique sont uniques, et avec 1 bonne acoustique, on perçoit toute sa puissance et son génie d'accords qui font dresser les poils, d'émotion 🫶👍👏 depuis 20 ans ,ça a pas pris 1 ride!
I saw Olive perform this live at Southern Sound's 'Party in the Park', Preston Park, Brighton in the mid-90's when it was in the charts. It chucked it down with heavy rain all day - this song was the highlight of that day and it still sounds as brilliant now.
I remember watching this as a teen about 6 years after it came out. My stomach literally twisted in knots. I was remembering the best times of my life that were long gone...
Я обожаю эту песню.До сих пор вспоминаю, как почти 25 лет назад, сидела на тахте у себя дома,и рыдала под неё.Без сомнения, это лучший трэк 90-х годов. Просто супер!!!😂😂😂❤🎉
i recently lost my childhood girl friend and this track makes me feel sad and nostalgic cause the lyrics are so real and touch my heart RIP my dear Clarisse Duchemann never forget you
It's incredible how this song has such a powerful capacity to evoke sensitivity and nostalgia. It feels mystic, almost ghostly, impalpable, yet of a rare depth. It gives me a larger than life feeling, as if I'm on the top of a cliff and the entire world is unfolding in from of me.
