The original here is fine, but the Todd Terry Remix is outstanding and honestly just much more interesting. No wonder the remix became a massive hit.
They are husband and wife. Met at Hull university and in the town there was a furniture/homeware shop that claimed they could supply …’Everything but the girl’. Last year released their first new album for 25 years, called Fuse. Great couple with many individual collaborations.
You might know the Todd Terry mix of this song. A solid dance-beat underlining the gentle vocals. As ever you cover a vast and eclectic range of music on your channel JP. Much respect to you for that and the respect is doubled up cos you actually listen to the songs and react with your own thoughts. Loving your output
Ah, should have watched the whole video before commenting
@@leedavey4769 no need to wait - instinct and impulse friendly zone makes it genuine :>)
I thought you might have recognised Tracy’s voice as she sang on the Massive Attack track Protection (with the amazing video by Michel Gondry all done in one shot).
I can't believe I didn't lol
this is a really good song, it's has a groove to it, it's really comforting and soothing
Tracy and Ben have been making great music since the 1980s, though this is - by a distance - their best known song. There's a huge catalogue out there well worth investigating.
Thanks for doing the original mix! The Todd Terry remix was obviously very good for them (it pretty much revived their career), but to me this version is the definitive one. It's so delicate, soulful and beautiful - and it has its own lovely groove. What a gorgeous vocal by Tracey Thorn, and Ben Watt's guitars are smooth and fluid.
breath of fresh air after all these club years
Tracey Thorn also sang lead vocals on a Massive Attack track called Protection you should definitely check it out.
Great track from EBTG. I love Tracy's beautiful, doleful vocals. They emerged in the mid eighties, alongside Sade and Weller's The Style Council, tapping into light jazzy grooves before embracing more electronic sounds from this record onwards. Tracy and husband Ben have released several solo albums over the years too, but released their first new album as EBTG in 20+ years last year. We saw them live in the early nineties, fantastic gig.
I've only ever heard the Todd Terry remix, even though I thought I had looked up the original I don't recognise it. It's beautiful, even better than the remix!
Will defo listen to the full album.
Solid reaction like always. I'd love to see a reaction to a few of my favourites the last few years: Lana del Rey's "A&W" or "Kintsugi", Caroline Polachek's "Billions", King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's "Dragon" - or perhaps some good black metal? (Hulder's "A Forlorn Peasant's Hymn" or Devil Master's deathrock-tinged "Black Flame Candle"?)
EBTG does a lovely rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s "Time After Time." Also Tom Waits’ "Downtown Train" (personal fave). As others have mentioned, this was far and away their biggest hit, thanks to the brilliant dance remix.
Their acoustic album is top to bottom great. This song was my intro as it was in MTV rotation, but this whole album hooked me.
I love Everything But the Girl! This entire album, "Amplified Heart", is fantastic. You should listen to it and especially the song "Two Star" which is beautiful! A few of their earlier albums are great too. The US issued self titled album "Everything But the Girl" and the "Acoustic" albums are really great!!! The album right after this, "Walking Wounded" was a big hit and has some great songs on it as well. Oh and give a listen to The Style Council's "A Paris Match" featuring Tracy Thorn on vocals (make sure to listen to that version). It's amazing!
Completely agree about the album, and "Two Star" has become my favorite over the years. I've also always loved "We Walk the Same Line," it's such a beautiful statement of compassion and love.
The whole album is fire!
They had a great run of albums in the 90's...a treat to listen to.
Try the whole album, its definitely worth a listen, very cool
One of my all time greatest songs - ‘each and everyone’ was by EBTG … beautiful jazzy number. If you find time…
Oh YES.. I suggested that one too! Love them so much!
Glad you've discovered this wonderful duo (and friends). They've a string of great releases of which this is of the next to last. They came back last year with the album Fuse after taking time off to raise their kids (Ben and Tracy are a couple) and Tracy's voice has aged like fine wine.
As good as this song is, I have to suggest going back to their earlier work in the 80s. They're 1985 album Love Not Money is excellent! One song off of that one- All's Well - got a lot of radio play here in the US as well as MTV. It's a good one!
A redo is in order, this time react to the Todd Terry remix. Takes the song to a different sonic space altogether.
The Todd Terry remix was the missing ingredient that made this song a hit.
I'm sure there was a remix that was in the Billboard Chart for over a year.
That might be where you heard the chorus
I should have waited until the song finished
She was one of the guest vocalists on a few of the tracks on Massive Attack’s second album, Protection.
oohhhhh I should've known
The song Protection, in particular.
I was really into this group, getting all their albums, until they turned to a dance/electronica sound which this song is a forewarning of. Talk about jumping the shark! I was in love with Tracey Thorn's dulcet tones. For some really good stuff, I wouldn't mind at all if you decided to go back to their earlier sound so you can see how good this group was. 'Love Is Here Where I Live' or 'The Language Of Life' are both great choices. Thanks for checking them out.
Love is Here Where I Live is GREAT. When I used to sing with this guy who - at the time - was the pianist for the Duke Ellington Orchestra I introduced him to them with that song - which he LOVED. He wrote it out for me by ear alone so I could sing it. Beautiful stuff. I think Tracy is kind of a modern Karen Carpenter with her warmth and all around beautiful sound.
Please give their 2023 Album Fuse a listen (if you haven't already). I have been an EBTG fan since Eden and played it every day for four months when it was released to hear their first new music in almost 30 years x.
Might be a neat idea to go back and listen to their first album. They came out of the Sophista-pop scene of the 80's along with Sade, The Style Council, Basia, Level 42, Joe Jackson, Simply Red.... I'm talking horns, Bossa nova type rhythms and Jazz Guitar.
Since you like his you will love weekend players, into the sun
“We about to find out” - lol!
Minor key, mellow, and groovy; I like those elements. In the vein of Sade. It may require another listen.
that's a good call that is- very similar vocal vibe
I am a big fan of Tracey Thorn's voice. I would highly recommend her 2010 solo album, "Love And Its Opposite". In more recent years, Tracey has also become a successful author with her memoirs, "Bedsit Disco Queen" and "Another Planet- A Teenager In Suburbia".
Laugh you out the house is also a good track
It's a great track and a great introduction tonthe band, but you really must react to the remix version. It's one of the defining music moments from the 90s. And It's the version that everybody (who lived through that era) knows. It was a massive hit and helped to determine the future sounds the band would make in the next years. Although, I still prefer their more jazz-soul oriented sound from their early days. Thank you for bringing back some good memories.
One of my favourite bands. So many gems. May I recommend "Imagining America" and "The Night I Heard Caruso Sing"?
This is a year after their career changing work with Massive Attack on that band's second album (where Tracy lends her voice on 2 tracks). EBTG is AMAZING and I sent you a message about checking out some of their early stuff since I figured you'd heard their 90s music. Ben Watt has a big background in jazz - Tracy's voice is always incredible and she's a great lyricist. They've been around since the early 80s - where they started as Bossa Nova, Pop, Jazz, Folk group.. I suggest, Each and Every One, Cross My Heart, I Didn't Know I was Looking for Love., Troubled Mind from Amplified Heart, or almost ANYTHING on Tempramental if you like electronica. ;) - also - can't BELIEVE this album is 30 years old. 😱
I never liked this song as much as most of the songs on their 1999 album “Temperamental”. Trip Hop, Trance and Drum 'n' Bass at its best! Please try it (especially “Lullaby of Clubland”)! Tracey Thorn's voice is unique.
I have a couple of CD's by Everything But the Girl and Missing is a very popular tune they put out. You might try listening to "Driving" from the album "The Language of Love". I do like this song!
Adore Tracey Thorn, from first hearing her sultry vocals on style council's paris match..she found her perfect match with Ben watt. A career of musical perfection. This song was everything that year it came out....remixs seemed to be te thing then... I have a disc of mixed of walking wounded..every track gold.... Go back for frost and fire or fascination or ahead for temperamental or five fathoms or lullaby of clubland..still going. the best voice and innovative music of the 80s 90s 00s 10s 20s...
I definitely heard this song, but from another artist, I don’t remember from whom, but it was definitely a cover, although as a child I didn’t pay attention to it, I just liked the melody.
In keeping with this "style," check out The Message by the group Still Corners.
Love EBTG . Tracey has a lovely voice too. Shes such a great singer, also can you react to the song..how can i love you more by m people led by heather small. One of my favs and heathers voice is also fantastic, shes brilliant.
Haven't heard this in ages. It was in steady rotation on 'smooth jazz' radio stations in the 90's. Tracey Thorn is a great singer. There was a flood of wonderful British female singers back then -- her, Annie Lennox, Lisa Gerrard, Liz Fraser, Sade...
Got into EBTG much later than their successful period and can say honestly that their early work is better. Ben Watt has also done some good solo stuff
Not their best by a long way for me but I guess that's an individual taste thing.
One for the algorithm: 'The desert grows three miles a year, it just grows, it just grows'.
Re this 🙄
Er...yup.
@@pentagrammaton6793 Word association, I heard 'desert' and this popped into my head. ruclips.net/video/nyMvZA5Wpn0/видео.html
Also a huge fan of Tracey's voice and have always loved this song. Thanks for the reaction.
I discovered Massive Attack when I was looking through used discs at a store in LA - saw Thorne's name on that record and no price. Asked the clerk how much ? He said, Oh that disc is terrible - take it for free! Welcome to my FAVORITE album of the 90s - Massive Attack's Protection. I feel sorry that clerk doesn't hear the same greatness but to each his own. LOL! -- Just looked it up -- Protection was released in September of 1994.
Lol! Thats a great story Josie! You got a longtime favorite for free :D
Wonderful album.
It's a great song, but I prefer the dance remix. It has more going on.
I remember when the prior album, or the one before, "The Language Of Love" 1989 came out, I noted what a good band they were.
I love a desert mystery.
