At 16 years old, sorrounded by friends, window open letting freash air in, sun shining bright and the radio playing this song in art class of 96' - A lovely memory on a random day in my youth.
I was 10 in 1996
Better back then when I couldn't see the world's corruption like I see it today.
Had this same experience 5 years ago. Damn
Beutiful memories of that summer of 96, the Euros were in England, there was an air of expectancy. Crushed as usual, but this and other songs kept us sane. I was 25.
I was 4 or 5 in 1996 depending on the month and day
My go to at 16 was ELO, last train to London. Was in love with ELO. U2 as well. Can’t fill in my no 1 on my bucket list, nothing compares to you, fantastic Sinead, still not sure, there are too many fantastic British artists out there. My no 1 Beatles is Eleanor Rigby. I might count that in. Bit of pavorriti doesn’t go a miss depending on how yow you feel
Just randomly got this song stuck in my head but completely forgot the name apart from "or Rome" and can I just say after bearing through thousands of ancient Roman songs I'm just glad I'm finally here.
same ! I haven't heard this for well over ten years when I was a child. I kept on trying to think of the lyrics. Could it be Amsterdam? or could it be 'anywhere you go'. And then it hit me- ROTTERDAM! And then I got it!
I think we all think alike, it popped in my head during a joint. I went to get my headphones instantly haha not heard it for over 10 uears
Only thing is that I didn't forget the name
Rather you than me cocker
Yep, searched for ROME first, then remembered the band name.
One of the most underrated bands of the 90s
One Band ,I always went to see .
Non ! .. pas tout à fait d'accord .
My girlfriend and I went through Ireland in 1991 in my uncles car with the beautiful south loud. I’m 60 now and this song takes me back.
R u the real Micheal Scott?
@@bizboz3289 lol
How? The song "Rotterdam" was realeased in 1996.
@@gingerjenko1416 His is a time traveller
@@gingerjenko1416 Fair point, but this sounds a lot like their early music which was written in 1989-90
Remember a beautiful time with my dear departed wife, drinking coffee and smoking the smoke looking out at spring blooms through the window of a lovely coffee bar in Rotterdam.
Memories last a life time ❤
God bless you.
Bless you mate. I'm sure she is still with you, in everything you do.
Bless you and your dear memories they will be with you forever God bless, memories last a lifetime ❤️
We did not make a good Christmas bay night bay party 🎉 night had fun together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️morning
Its 2023 and this song still just wont get old.
Who else fell in love with song as a child and is now obsessed with The Beautiful South? Going straight from here to "a little time"
Fuck my life just came across this very amazing beautiful pages like ever xxx
My childhood 💯
Didn’t realise as a child I had fallen in love with this song. As I am getting older it’s un deniable this was a big part of my childhood growing up
I'm with ya it's inbeded 😂😂
Was 18 when this came out. Brings back good memories.
The Beautiful South is one of those bands that deserved more number one hits then they got
Same as All Saints, Girls Aloud, and Spice Girls.
@@Mscape7 ;)) :)) =))) :-j ... mmmm all saints maybe, (spice girls? didn't they f had already enough hits- wtf is with this greedyness ... :( ... ) girls aloud? :-/ what theee phuuuuuk ... :( atomic kitten sugababes
u bet
@@unghiuriyoszug3891 Spices missed out with Stop and had other songs to release. They dessrved as many as Westshite. Girls Aloud always got stuck at #2.
Truly! Paul Heaton is a genius songwriter and musician
One of those rare songs that once heard, will never be forgotten!
Beautiful South were geniuses! 😊
No It's about lonelyness. It could be Rotterdam or anywhere ;)
Brilliant band I seen them in Glastonbury festival back in 1995
ARE GENIUSES
@@keizerFPS. this song is about how you feel, cant run away from who you are
They are still playing great concerts.
Who's listening in 2020 if so your a legend 👏👏👏
Yes I’m listening, I was meant to go Rotterdam today but Corona ruined it for me
Shal Miah It’s the governments that ruined it. Con-vid is a smokescreen for totalitarianism
Fuck yeah!
Yess beautiful South never get old 😁
I am !
Beautiful South have always had a satirical twist to their songs, and yet somehow they're still so feel good. They never got the fame and respect they truly deserve
my... friend Gene loved this song ....sadly she has passed ....but i bet shes stilll singing it,..miss you Gene...x
One of my dad’s favourite songs which I love! 2021 anyone?
Great song hope you’re safe and well 👍👍👍👍
Yes here I am. Hello!
I’m in 2021
0:36 sounds a bit like oasis - the importance of being idle, lol.
Awesome tune still!!
I do
Whenever I depressed or sad, I listen to this song and it instantlly makes me happy again!
Its a sad song 😊 glad it makes you happy
Same here :)
Or sound of silence.
Agreed 😊👌
This deserves more recognition,it didn't get enough at the time and still doesn't
What a wonderful and beautiful song!!! I'm from Rotterdam and it makes me cry!
rotterdam is beautiful
Don’t you mind her calling you a pickle!? 😅
Wat een vreselijk kutnummer, maar de Havenslaven vinden het vast wel weer een icoon.
@@ForzaNapolI1875Waar dan?
@@ForzaNapolI1875huh
The thing i 💚 the most about the Beautiful South is how easy and understated they make it look..not flash or contrived...classics 💚👍
I once saw a version of this with the lady singing unplugged - absolutely marvelous voice
That's Jacqui Abbott
2024 who's listening this masterpiece?
Quality ❤
Moi ! .. j'adore .. des souvenirs aussi ! . 💙🎶
I am still listening to this great song❤😊
Me! Listening to this and all the other Beautiful South songs - class ❤
I don't know why, but this song just popped up in my head and i like it.
One of the finest, simplest riffs ever.
Born and raised in Rotterdam (and a blonde) i only found this song today and i absolutely adore it!
OMG when I was little me and my dad would sit and listen to beautiful south ♥️Childhood memories 😊
One of those songs that give you a vibe you can't even describe
Just a chill 90s vibe. If you listen to Lemon Tree I think the vibe is similar.
This track brings back so many memories and makes me nostalgic 🔥🔥
Like building rotterdam container harbour with 600 people..
Anyone still here in march 2024. Easter is a nice time in England.
Yes but now May 2024 here in Torbay.
This should be used as the theme tune for Eurovision 2021
Far too good for Eurovision...
I bet this song will be big after Arne Slot came in to Liverpool.
Feyenoord tot de dood
Wherever Slotty managers he never needs a comb
I was trying to find music to listen to tonight that didn't make me feel stressed. I kept coming back to The Beautiful South.
It's one of those songs that take me straight back to childhood 💙
Was 9 years old when I first heard this song I’m now 33 what a tune! Bless to you all who’s still listening to this till this day
I want the years back, seriously miss the 90’s :’(
Maybe they are too good..
this was my grandads favourite song, i now use it to remember him always.
It's one of those songs that I wasn't a fan of at the time but can appreciate now as it takes me back to leaving school and entering the real world. That time in your life where everything is new and exciting to you and life seems full of potential.
Agreed 💯
We’ve been to Rotterdam and Monaco, Napoli and Rome, we still got those empty seats, EMPTY SEATS AT HOME!!!💙
Empty seats at hommeeee
Citehhh 🇧🇼
MCFC OK
The best song of The Beautiful South ❤️
Truly beautiful song
Yes by far the best one.
This band is the soundtrack to many, many car journeys with my parents for me and my siblings
I've never forgotten this song since I was a kid and this is he first time I've listened to it since the 90s, what a masterpiece!!
The Beautiful South are timeless.
This song never grows old and Jacqui Abbott and Paul Heaton sing great together love the song alsoloved them singing other songs together Jacqui Abbott's voice is class and thanks to the person who put this up
Its 2023 and I’m Dutch and I have never heard of this song.
What an underrated band and track.
Was this is in the charts?
Yes, in the UK. You should check out their music.
nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotterdam_(or_Anywhere)
I'm from Spain, this song brings me memories from Camden Town, London
Spent my whole life believing this song was called Rotherham
Elle Brown we love the yorkshire scene 😭
🤣
The whole place has paedos, the people are paedos for sure...
@@phillipe124 What?
@@rockinresurrection6542 You clearly don't know Rotherham that well!
Back from the days when you had to buy the whole album to listen to one song
And back when it was worth it, because albums were good, and not full of shite like nowadays
One of the best feel-good songs.
Feel-good? This is a song about loneliness. It's beautiful and evocative but it certainly isn't "feel-good".
It has a feel good factor (lyrics aside), there are quite a few about exhibit A -> m.ruclips.net/video/J1n3gOM5Gz4/видео.html
I started humming the song randomly but could only remember some fragments of the lyrics then finally googled Liverpool and Rome and it came up with the song. So much nostalgia. This song makes me happy. I’m 25 years old and really lucky to have been raised by music head parents. All sorts of songs was always playing in our house.
Nov 2020...pandemic...whose still here living the good times!
Memories of sitting in the back of the cavalier on the way to the caravan for the weekend. Man, Feels like a lifetime ago.
Love the lyrics to this one. Paul Heaton's lyrics are bang on with life and it's quirks.
We’ve been to Dortmund and Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and cologne, now we’re on our way to Berlin cause Footballs coming homeeee🏴🏴🏴
Yes I am from The Netherlands and Rotterdam is the most Beautiful city around here.
slint69 it might be one of the ugliest cities in the netherlands*
@@ImKuru Nah that top spot is already given away to Amsterdam ;-)
perfect song for a lazy Sunday morning (right now) with coffee
This was the first one I heard from Beautivul South Jacqui has a lovely voice
we were on holiday in Holland about 10 years ago heading towards Amsterdam and our sat nav packed up...the only place it could find was Rotterdam....the kids kept singing this to me!
😍😍 Eurovision 2021 made me watch this blast from the past. ❤️❤️
I wish there was an extended version of this song I love it.
The gorgeous Jackie... What a voice. I CAN LISTEN TO HER ENDLESSLY...
These songs remind me of being a kid in the 90s going long drives with my mum and dad
Saw Paul Heaton in Hull a few days ago. Amazing show even if Jacqui couldn't be there. But I'll never forget the atmosphere when they started playing this song and old red eyes is back!
Another classic from the last king of pop .
Paul & Jaqui defo amongst the best British singers ever....
I remember listening to them when I was a kid in the first band they organised The Housemartins 1985 on.
this darling girl had the most unique voice ,,,,,the band was utter magic ,so different , there style was stunning to say the least xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I must've been 9 years old when I first heard this (most likely on Top of the Pops) and it's only now at 33 that I decided to Google "Rotterdam Rome Liverpool woman walking song" lol glad it's catchy enough to stick with me for 24 years
I saw this on mtv one time late at night and this song stays with me up until today yes im an old soul😂😂😂
I used to listen this song when I was in England in 1995 - 2000.
Listening to this song after almost 20 years.
Born, raised and still living in Rotterdam, just have to love this song.
im from liverpool
Moved to Rotterdam alone to work and go to uni here and this song makes me feel a little less alone (^:
Oooouuu you‘re lucky
Where did you move from
@@Intovert572 The UK! !!
Fellow countryman. I’m from Newcastle meself
What a class band and class song
This is the song i expect when I've passed away and I'm waiting in a queue to heaven ☺️
I heard this song on the radio in my friend’s car recently. Looked it up and only days later I am obsessed with this band. This is a masterpiece!
This song takes me to places that I'm not even sure I've been!
Que linda cancion
Halcyon days 👀❤️ When music was raw talent ⭐️ Beautiful South made beautiful songs 👌🏼

Mad after all these years can still remember being at school with jakki
Bishop Grottesste jumper!
Fabulous song. Classic 90s song from an excellent band.
I love this song so much reminds me of when I went to Amsterdam for Christmas 🎄
What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam
Never compare Rotterdam to Amsterdam...they are not really friends to say the least. 🤣😅
Great Band sadly missed
Beautifully sung
Had a drink 🥃 with Paul many years ago. Top bloke.
❤️
He used to own a pub in Salford.
Just saw Paul and Jacqui in Frankfurt on Sat night. Amazing!
Paul and Jacqui are still gigging together, so all is not lost! Loved the Beautiful South in the 90s... true working class musicians who never forgot their roots.
What a beautiful song,sunny,shinny,so positive and relaxing,calming!!💛💚👙🌻🌞

Aways loved this song ❤
About the time music peaked. Hear nothing like this now. Beautiful & talented woman
One of my favourites beautiful song, if you haven't been you're missing out .
My late mum loved this song. Good memories.
Just super relaxing song for calm summer days :)
Lived in Rotterdam years ago, Crazy Piano's (Bar) & those equally crazy cube houses by the library & the awesome little twists & turns with the cafes & restaurants by the water. Worked in Ridderkerk with great people, nice home life too, great times, I will always have a soft spot for her.
I heard this song one time when I was a very small child and I still remember it
Class band
what a wonderful song, thank you so much BeautifulSouth
Always loved the beautiful south...so under rated.🎉
Absolutely love The Beautiful South. Paul Heaton is such a great songwriter. His set at Glastonbury was Fantastic. It would be a dream come true if The Beautiful South got back together again
I can't say enough how much I love this song!
I remember when this song came out and STILL love this song today!
Loved this song at trnsmt 2023 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🎶
