This is one of those songs I keep coming back to decade after decade. The lyrics, the intensity, the poetry of it, the simple musicianship - it always speaks to me. It seems to be describing suffering, but appreciating the beauty in it. Every time I hear it, it's an emotional experience.
My dad used to listen to Turin Brakes when I was little. I’m 21 now and whenever I hear them I feel so nostalgic❤️ they’re honestly so underrated. Simply amazing.
They were the reason I went to my first festival in 2001 aged 36. 45 festivals done now, many as a steward. Seen TB 12+ times. Own everything they've ever done and had the pleasurenof meeting them on three occasions. Best band and nicest guys in the world.
@@MarkWilson-xs7wt Been there since the start like you, fabulous band, seen them so many times. Went to Olly's house and bought his reel to reel off him that he used on his solo album, what a gent!
Turin breaks- Painkiller. Feeder- Just the way I’m feeling. The Smiths- There is a light that never goes out. Amy Mann- Red Vines. Billy Brag- The price I pay. If you know you know...
Loved this song at the time despite not even really hearing or understanding the lyrics, only now twenty years later I listen to it and actually hear it and it’s immediately going on my Spotify list!!!
This is an absolute banger. Reminds me of the sounds of the radio when travelling to Liverpool to Kent and back every weekend in the early 00s when I used to work darn sarth.
For weeks I kept thinking about this tune, but couldn't get the song or lyrics right, then finally this morning, I just remembered the line "summer rain" and here I am... Last listened to this song back when it released in 2003.
Genius, this song makes my heart swell and eyes glaze, perhaps the most uplifting song I've ever heard and when ingested with this clip intensifies it 100 fold
Though i'm more familiar with their debut album, I do love this song. What a collaboration Olly and Gale make. "Feeling Oblivion" and "Underdog" are classics as well
Watched them support David Gray over two decades ago in London and was blown away. Still one of my favourite bands today. Playing on my doorstep at Blenheim Palace this summer, will be my first Turin Brakes gig in 22 years :o
Turin breaks were simply kept in the dark for their beliefs in social chaos. Anti government etc etc. Brilliant band. You can tell in their song writing. Particularly, "they can't buy the sunshine". Another classic. God bless Turin breaks... x
Because chart music died a long time ago the 2000's was probably the last decade where bands like Turin Brakes could get a massive hit in the charts. Nowadays it's impossible for bands to even get in the top 20 it's just generic garbage. Bands best hope of success in this day and age is the album charts and even then they have their work cut out. I honestly can't remember the last time a band has had a huge hit but mind you I haven't paid attention to the charts since 2015 a wee peak now and then that's it...
Saw them in 2019, Worthing. Absolutely positive experience when you consider what followed with covid etc. Such a feel good band and I'm a dedicated metal head.
This reminds me of 2005 when I was lucky enough to go to Prague Film School in the Summer. This album was the soundtrack of that Summer. A lot of the other students from USA, Mexico, France etc were asking me to play the 'Tape' & I happily obliged. They were even more surprised to hear that they weren't even from the US!
Loved the song at the time, but just could not get into them.... went to see Travis last night in Glasgow and Turin Brakes were the warm up act, and as soon as they broke into this song took me back to a simpler/carefree time 👍
The year was 2003, I'd just started dating my (now) wife. We were 18 and this song was all over the radio. I have a lot of love for this song. The meaning of the song didn't click at the time, but we didn't care haha
The miracle of the 3 minute pop song :) I've 'rediscovered' this song at least once a year ever since it came out. I have no idea what it's really about, but the chorus is about as fine a piece of poetry and pop craftsmanship as you're likely to find.
i just saw in my deceased sister's poem. saying that: He talks about what the war was like with a broom in his hand. while listening turin brakes. the complete poem is turkish but it's so good. wow i'm glad with her. she was schizophrenic and died by jumping off a bridge and crashing into concrete in 2010, 10 months after from this sharing. in İslam religion, the insane are not considered guilty, they go to heaven.
Can't beleive i've been listening since the beginning and i was only 5, now thats what you call good parenting so glad they never let me listen to crap i've never even heard of most of the crap my friends say there childhood was based on. Turin Brakes are the shit.
DUDE ive been looking for this song for YEARS since i saw it a few times late on Subterranean on mtv years ago... lol.... thank you random website with old subterranean playlists. i love this song!
Era mediados del 2009 y en Solo Hits escuché este temón como la canción Moralinda. Creo q sí no hubiera sido x ese programa seguiría sin conocer esta canción.
