I work as a pizza delivery driver and my company just bought a new car we don’t know the story of but I found an old mixtape in the glovebox and pushed it into the tape deck, it started off as old Metallica and guns n roses songs and then eventually a song I’d never heard of came on, that is how therapy? Got a new fan
Therapy? were the first band I saw live in Cardiff in the early 90’s and have been lucky enough to see them several times since. Awesome band live and still touring strong. If you ever get the chance to see them I would strongly recommend it 🤟
I had a chat with a friend about the line "Shouting at the world you'll never change." We worked out it can be understood in a bunch of different ways. Imagine Andy is singing about a guy called Dave: 1. Dave is shouting at the world, but that won't change anything 2. Dave is shouting at the world, but he doesn't do anything to change it 3. There goes Dave, shouting at the world again. He'll never change. 4. Dave opens a window and shouts "You'll never change!" at the world. While 3 and 4 aren't very likely in context, it can still be interpreted that way and I always find those funny. I think there was another one, but I can't think what it was right now.
i got an idea for the number 5. a little bit like number 2, except that he does his best to change it : 5. Dave is shouting at the world, he tries to change the world, but he won't change it anyway
This song reminds me of the mid/late 90s and the lonely, depressing and alienating times. Thanks Therapy haha. It was really difficult to find Converse in the UK in 1994.
In America we had a similar, but somewhat more R&B-influenced, band called the Afghan Whigs. The singers even look like they could be related, and both bands achieved about the same level of proto-fame. Sometimes it’s better to be influential than to be monetarily successful.
Agreed as a lifelong Wildhearts & Anti Nowhere league & manic Street Preachers fan the bands are still around but never got real notoriety beyond a smatter of breaking into the pop culture bubble every now and then.
Therapy? was the first concert of my life. I think it was 1995 in Munich, Germany. Thank you guys! You opened up a new world to me and im still living in it!
If there was a more life saving musing then i am a stupid. I used to listen to Therapy? every night at a Eltsin's Russia and Andy was a man. The best band ever
I was a teenage kid in Far East of Russia and when i saw an MTV ad for the upcoming Troublegum album i knew that was mine. The most solid albums ever. T? You were great!!!
This song jhas the very special trait of having both wanted me to end my life but also saving my life. Which makes it a masterpiece in the world of art.
MY DAD that's no longer with me took me to see this band at the Garage Glasgow,it was day light ,Cairns opened by asking Glasgow,how the fuck are you....llf......I think I'm going insane.
Heaven kicked you out You wouldn't wear a tie Staring at some pictures by yourself Something that you wanna have but will never get Going nowhere, going nowhere Going nowhere, going nowhere Get drunk every night You can't get drunk on life Shouting at the world you'll never change But it's what's inside you've got to rearrange Going nowhere, going nowhere Going nowhere, going nowhere Heaven kicked you out Heaven kicked you out Breaking up for what you never have Losing every single thing you've ever had Going nowhere, going nowhere Going nowhere, going nowhere Going nowhere, going nowhere Going nowhere, going nowhere
Never forget when they came out was like yes this band will be massive. But ended up being the most underrated band of the 90s and still now.. Amazing live and always made the fans feel like they are noticed 🤘😈🤘🎸
Driving through the fields in my best pal's old convertible on a warm summer night long past, coming from some fucked up party with the booze still pulsing in our blood, top down with the endless starry sky overhead and this song on tape, manual repeat, singing along. I can still feel the universe revolve around us with the song, such perfect moment in time. We were 20, and going nowhere. The future was an open road ahead. And we were happy.
@@jeshkam Yeah, sorry, it was so long ago, I forgot I actually own that album and there's a big handful of great songs on it. But live they are and were not great at all.
This album is the sound of the all-rough-edges teen boy inside of me!! And I’m a girl. That’s how good it is. It makes you *feel* the feeling. Also Ffyfe Ewing’s drumming. Longtime fan, still not wearing a tie! 😉
haha awesome comment!! Yes, there is a way a teenage boy, and a teenage girl feels. I love music like 7 year bitch that makes me feel like a teenage girl. This is my teenage boy music.
The video's of my time (80-90) are unforgetful :) I'd like to see my kid's faces when they discover the contents of my NAS. It'll be like an international archive!
The gym class I go to 5-6 times a week has an amazing playlist which includes this song among other classics. It brings me back to the mid 90's when I was at high school. Love it!
I went to see them tour this album in around 94 95 . Was my first ever gig! I was 14 years old . Made me want to learn guitar. 30 years later still playing Thanks therapy?
Heaven kicked you out You wouldn't wear a tie Staring at some pictures by yourself At something that you want to have but will never get Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere You get drunk every night You can't get drunk on life Shouting at the world you'll never change But it's what's inside you've got to rearrange Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Heaven kicked you out Heaven kicked you out Breaking up for what you never have Loosing everything all things you ever had Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere Going nowhere
I think it's Making up for what you never had. Loosing every single thing you ever had. ALso "Loosing everything all things you ever had" doesn't mean shit unless you're high maybe
When this came out I remember reading that the night before the video shoot the drummer emptied his hotel room minibar and showed up to the set super hungover. I've seen this video before but I only just clocked how obvious it is in the few shots that he appears in. Ah well, lad. You got it right when it counted.
20 years ago my childhood philosophy upon these life got a case, the same thinking when i hear the song at the first time. "Heaven kicked you out, you wouldn't wear a tie, going no where". "Breaking up for what you never have Loosing everything all things you ever had". Worship nothing !!!!!!
Met them with that album back in the days as I always admire Irish people their music and their history.And what a surprise,life brought me in the north of Ireland living the past 4 yrs
‘TROUBLEGUM’ was the first album I ever bought back in ‘94 when it first came out. What an amazing fucking record (though in hindsight I think I prefer ‘Infernal Love’. What a great start to a life-long obsession with music.
