God I miss the 90's so much. I used to scoff at my parents when they would talk about the 70's but as you get older you do realise how amazing certain periods of your life were and remember just how good they were. The music, clothes, attitude and metting like minded people are days I miss so much. The Seahorses and this song are definitely background music to my life story.
Why cant someone open a club that just plays 90's indie music, it would be fucking epic getting pissed up in a bar with the sound track to the 90's flowing out from every speaker in the joint.
One day when I was 15, I heard a song on the radio. I don't understand English well. At the time, I heard the main line of the song, "You can control me," and I never listened to the song again. After that, I kept trying to find the song, but I never found it until one day, when I was over 40 years old. That day, as I lay in my room, the peace and cool breeze, I became a 15 year old listening to this song again. But what is different is I can listen to English better. What I heard was "You can talk to me" That’s why I’m Here
This was one of my favourite songs - I used to drive along in the car swaying and singing at the top of my voice ... and i was told by my friends that i was going to get stopped by the police..... AND I WAS! Still love the song tho
@@gregkiteos1936 Greg the second album is all over RU-vid and you can even buy bootlegs with the proposed artwork. I even saw them live after it was finished at a secret gig in Liverpool with the new songs before they finally imploded.
Definitely had the potential to do some epic things, I adored there debut album, Helme and Squire extremely talented guys, I’m sure they would creatively clash , at least we got Do It Yourself which is Epic .........
@@duncanlemm7144 yeah not a patch on the 1st in my opinion though unfortunately. And it wasn't an official release was it, just a mix of stuff they had been working on?.
I was lucky enough to see them play twice... Once on the album tour at Manchester Apollo supported by third eye blind. The second time was at a secret gig under King George's Hall in Blackburn just before they split up. They played all the new songs from the second album that never got released. I was front row stood between chris and john. Simply amazing I was gutted when they split!
Bought their album on release and still love it. Gutted that this song isn't on it. How I've never heard it before is beyond me as i absolutely love this song.
blueprint waiting for the world where i first heard this song way back in my skating days ooo happy days they was this song takes me back there brings back memories brilliant song aswell thanx for posting it
becomes madness who to pick, you all mean so much, haven't listened for a while but your words still sound so true. Bring it back. The 80's 90's fantastic times. What and where are we now. I just wanna be alright, could be next! x
Chris Helm ( vocals ) is playing a solo gig down my local music bar on 10/04/14. I saw him there last year and let me say, when he performed this track, my hair stood on end! Pure genius!
20/12/2023 how so much this tune relates to TODAY how the 90s was awesome and so in denial of the mental health that affects everyone today timeless tune thank you seahorses ❤
2 bands in my life that I have instantly loved ..sadly both bands didn't last long ..Japan and the seahorses.. happy memories though ,that will definitely last
It really was was at work heard love is the law on radio when released I asked my father to get me the single came back with album I couldn’t stop playing DIY on repeat for years I said instantly these could be bigger than the actual Beatles if they keep writing like this but Squire fkd it up wanting to write all the songs in second album and it had no love isvlaw, love me leave me, hello, round the universe, Suicide drive, blinded by the sun I was in tears when they split they were my Beatles
The demos for the second Seahorses album can be found on youtube. Search for 'Minus Blue'. Personally I'd recommend Chris Helme's solo album 'The Rookery', it's amazing. His voice is do much better than back in The Seahorses.
Lyrics Don't you think that maybe I should slow down? I've got so many things to say I had to write 'em down I was feeling alone So I'm on the phone to you Now that you're here I hope that you're hearing all the words I say to you I've talked myself round, you can talk to me too You can talk to me Anytime that you feel the pain I'll take the strain (You can talk to) You can talk to me Anytime I can help you out Give me a shout You can talk to me Oh yeah Don't you think that maybe I should calm down? I'm sick of staring at these walls, I'm gonna kick 'em down I was feeling alone, getting cold And I feel like a natural born killer Boring holes and cheap polyfiller And I borrowed 50 dollars to ring you To tell you, everything is alright You can talk to me Anytime that you feel the pain I'll take the strain (You can talk to) You can talk to me Anytime I can help you out Give me a shout You can talk to me Oh yeah-yeah-yeah You know, you know, you know You can talk to me Oh yeah-yeah-yeah Well come on, come on, come on, come on You can talk to me Anytime I can help you out Give me a shout You can talk to me Anytime that you feel the pain I'll take the strain You can talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeee
