24 years later and still better than 90 percent of the mass produced rubbish out there today. Music had so much soul back then. Great band. Amazing album
Christ these lazy comments every time on old music. And what's your point about "mass produced"? What do you think, this record was put out on an independent label run out of a garage in Lewisham and distrubuted only within a 10 mile radius?
I agree, one of the best songs of the 1990s. It actually sounds slightly 60s or 70s in style, so it's amazing it's an original song. Slightly Carole King style if you know what I mean.
I'm listening to this 18 years after it came out, and it still sounds perfect now. Such great memories of 1997 while listening to this when I was a carefree 18 years old. Sigh.
I was 8 and to me it was just as prominent as Barbie Girl in terms of popularity so not sure why it's got less than 1 million views, maybe most people forgot this gem.
When I was a kid my parents used to play me both the Beatles and Motown/Soul classics all the time, and I have always loved them. Then in 1997, I was 15 and this song by Texas, a band I already knew and liked, appeared, and I fell in love from the start, because it was a sound I loved, but it was not common at all at the time, and I couldn't believe I was hearing something like that in a modern song. It made me a fan for life and 25 years later I love it even more and I still think it is one of their top 3 songs ever.
@@jamsams so true. all one has to do is listen to the Supremes' hit "Love is like an itching in my heart". The same can be said of Vanessa Paradis' "Be my baby" and the Dolly Dots' "Love me just a little bit more".All Motown/Supremes-inspired songs
@@renobuttersYes, that is exactly what I meant. This song is a brilliant mixture of Motown + Beatles and that is exactly why I loved it so much and I still do 🥰.
In the mid to late 90’s, a pop hit could have post-grunge guitar crunch, a driving Motown rhythm section, smart and passionate lyrics sung with soul power, all matched up with a video taking the best from art films and commercial advertising
Je viens de découvrir ce groupe que je connaissais vaguement… je vient de prendre une claque. On peut dire que c’est un ‘« orgasme musical « Waouhhhh j’adore! Merci Arte pour cette belle découverte.
November 2017. Concert in Frankfurt. I’m 4 month pregnant. 3 hours show. I was screaming, singing, dancing all the time. I could not believe she will play this song. She did!!! It was aaaaaaamazing!!!!!!!!!
Indeed so. I didn't know who did this, so just looked it up as it was on the radio. It has that "old" jangly vibe melodic energy to it. Doesn't sound 28 July 1997 at all.
Cette chanson a déjà 15 ans ??? Si j'avais connu toutes ses chansons entre 1985 jusqu'à 1994!!!... Je sais qu'elles m'auraient accompagné dans tous mes séjours à l'hôpital et en clinique !!!! La musique et l'écriture sont de très loin les meilleurs remèdes aux hospitalisations de très très longs séjours !!! Un grand merci pour m'avoir permis de m'exprimer ainsi Nathalie Chocron
@@sandrac2 yeah inner smile brilliant..black eyed boy! Halo! they have so many good songs..seen them live once at Edinburgh Hogmanay millennium party! Amazing night, UV put Texas at the forefront of my head again...I'm going to have to listen to inner smile😁👌
I heard this song nonstop as a kid back in the 90s but never knew who the artist was. After randomly hearing it again for the first time in 20 odd years, I was shocked to find out the artist was the band Texas. Really does sound like a Supremes song with a rock flavour.
I have an absolute love for this group!!!!! Your confidence is pure and completely contagious. Honestly from the guitarists, drummer and bass and of course our amazing lead singer, the music is literal perfection it's an orgasm to my ears I've been to more concerts than I can count Not that that Texas will read this but your music is everything to me thank you so much!!!!! you're the one I listen to weather it Spotify RU-vid, or Cd when I'm off to work and I'm tired but as soon as Texas in on I'm a knew man . May God bless you with happiness and success and the the people who helped build who you are today ❤❤🫶
No I don't lack ambition Can't you see what I hate That it's you who is sinking Locked behind iron gates You should know You're falling into fiction I can tell You're on some foolish mission You're black eyed soul You should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy You will find Your own space and time You call me superstitious Tie me up with your deceit I could never be malicious Though I seem so bittersweet You should know You're falling into fiction I can tell You're on some foolish mission You're black eyed soul You should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy You will find Your own space and time Black eyed soul You should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy You will find Your own space and Time Yeh, you should know You're falling into fiction I can tell You're on some foolish mission You're black eyed soul You should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy You will find Your own space and time Black eyed soul You should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy You will find Your own space and time Black eyed soul You should know That there's nowhere else to go My black eyed boy You will find Your own space and time
Vero capolavoro, sia la canzone, che reputo tra le migliori di Texas's sia il video che mi riporta agli anni in cui uscì Trainspotting , da cui il video che evidentemente prende ,meritoriamente, a piene mani..
I am Michael Matthias Frohn Mühlstroh und Jesus Christus!!! Overwehlming und Wunderschön und Wunderbar!!! ❤❤❤😂!!! 😂❤❤❤!!! Make my day, texas!!! ❤❤😂❤!!! ❤😂❤❤!!! Thank you for this music and song and masterpiece and diamond and brilliant!!!
in the verse "Tears of a clown" by smoky robinson and the miracles and in the chorus "While my guitar gently weeps" by George harrison and the beatles .... motown meets mersey beat
***** i thought i was the only one i can hear a bit of motown with a bit of rock. the chorus reminds me of while my guitar gently weeps and roll away the stone by mott the hoople
