'97 was my last year of secondary school. I remember it as a year of great music and great album releases. Time has flown and the music was better back then!
As of 2017, Texas's worldwide sales were 40 million records and they have had thirteen top-ten singles on the UK singles chart and three number-one albums and eight UK top-ten albums on the UK albums chart
Criminally underrated? Texas?! Now if you'd have said someone like Tracy Chapman I'd be in agreement, but not Texas. Bang average, like many many UK acts in the 90's Britpop era.
I had this song on a mix tape in 1998. For some reason this song crossed my mind tonight, and once I played it here I felt like I was pulled back in time and place. I'm young and starry eyed again, and I'm in my old room in our old house, studying hard and believing that the future is mine. Thank you for the good music that helped me survive so far, although nothing went as hoped for.
@@123Twin_ 😆 Bloody stalkers... Pass on greets to her from Trinidad & Tobago and let her know that people are still listening in 2024. Your music endures!!!
Saw Texas live last year-2023 and Sharleen Spiteri still has that superbly versatile voice -a timeless voice like her seemingly eternal looks. She not only sounds great but looks it too ! If you get a chance go see them live -best live band Ive seen in years .
I remember my twenty Years old me , listening this song in a walkman while walking to university. I feel the same sensations now and then. Good music never changes 😊!!
The best female vocalist Sharleen Spetteri not to mention being so pretty on screen. I think she has the most beautiful face among all music videos of all time. What makes her even beautiful, she doesnt' even know how pretty, beautiful she is. she is not that aware how BEAUTIFUL she is.
Met these guys at a convert they did at my local theatre while i worked there. I helped cook and serve them food in the day and then worked the show at night. I can say with all honesty that they are some of the most genuine, lovely people i have ever met in the industry ❤
In 1997 I was only 17 working my first job at Burger King. Certain songs STAYED on the radio...this was obviously one of them. So I learned it whether I wanted to or not and it is permanently ingrained in mind. I love the chords that plays during the chorus. Sounds so heavenly and majestic.
This song is pure nostalgia, I often go through periods of listening to music from the 90's I remember from my youth, then buy albums for 1 song. Usually these periods occur when I feel I'm missing something in my life lol.
But they really could have done an awful lot better with the quality of the sound on the video. Shame cause it would sell their music far better if they had made a better job of that. Halo video also has awful sound quality.... and that too is an excellent track.
90s pop songs were simply awesome and Texas was a gem. I used to listen to the radio and study ... Herd this song in 97-98 and it still is in my playlist.
Eternally optimistic sound. It's a lovely mystery how some people transmit an energy when they sing. She's like an albatross in flight with effortless vocals.
I remember being 7 years old and sleeping on the living room floor on a mattress after watching Pet Detective on TV with my brother. When the movie finished they played this song and I can remember falling asleep to it and feeling safe. It's probably weird to others but that's where my mind goes whenever I hear this song.
I have seen your interview in "El intermedio" today (nineth of January of 2024) and you seem to be an amazing person. I never heared a song from your band but I want to hear them all. Bravo for your honesty.
Wow, this came out 27 years ago and I had forgotten about it. Thanks youtube for recommending this song... I recognized the song the first 5 seconds it started playing. Brings back amazing feelings from my youth. :)
It is not possible to move back to those times when life was flowing in its current, thanks to such songs I have a wonderful picture of those years in front of my eyes.
Wasn't she just gorgeous and fantastic singer ❤ Still going strong the band and I'm now 60 ( a young 60 ) and l go to any concert they play Sharlene your amazing and a proud jock xxx
La perfección absoluta desde me que empieza con un susurro, la calidez de su voz suave... Las pausas, como guardando algo mas para decir. El solo de guitarra, los platillos en el momento exacto. El final exacto, para que no se torne repetitiva y pesada la canción. Exquisitamente Perfect!
Oh my god,,, this memories melt my heart,, just like yesterday we were young people with many romantic mysteries, and the songs of the 90's really felt close to our life
Texas reminds me so much of being a wee boy riding in the back of my Mum’s car playing my game boy colour. They were constantly on the radio, them, Roland Keaton and Top loader. 😄
I love the way the music starts With drums and bass and guitar parts And then Sharleen's voice joins in Singing words that make my heart spin "Say what you want, but don't give up" These lyrics fill me with such love I sing along with all my might And feel my soul take flight The melody is pure delight It lifts me up and makes things right When life feels tough and full of strain This song reminds me to maintain The courage to speak my truth To not let fear control my youth To say what's in my heart and mind And let my voice be unconfined So thank you, Texas, for this song It makes me feel like I belong And when I hear those opening chords I know that I'll never be ignored
I was 12 in Belgium when I found a bag full of CDs, I kept them like a treasure (as they were back then) and I’ve listen to all of them. Texas was one of them and even though I didn’t understand any English, I felt in love with their songs and especially this one. I Love it to bits to this day ❤
This song inspired me and the octagon shape is so cruical in establishing my Interdimensional Energy Converter ... its at a time when we need a free and abundant source of energy !
I don't know how this song popped up in my suggestions, but I've heard it being played in Kohls over the years and never knew who the artist was. I'm glad I found this!🤣
It's the 15th of June and life has stood still... 10months later I still wait like a fool for this girl.. Time to move along and my feelings for her are still new like the 1st day I met her. Now I'm heartbroken.. Because I've to move on or ill die waiting for her to make her mind up... 😢😔😭😭
i still have the same feeling when this song gets played on MTV way back 90s.. the video just popped up on my autoplay list..hehehe...still lovin' this

That 90s/early 2000s nostalgia is crushing me 😭😭
Love to anyone who remembers that period 🫂

I was living in London at the time, it was great..... I'm now 46 and missing it.
Love us all, feeling like the last-standing memory keepers of things gone forever.
Crying 😢
Huge shoutout! Glad to have been a teen in that period, best music and simpler times
Texas were so criminally underrated, but all of their hits are timeless & still sound crisp, tight, fresh & are still fascinating to me.
They were hugely successful. This album was 6x Platinum.
As of 2017, Texas's worldwide sales were 40 million records and they have had thirteen top-ten singles on the UK singles chart and three number-one albums and eight UK top-ten albums on the UK albums chart
No way underrated.. 😳

23 years since I've been to Scotland. I heard this song in a department store a year ago...and here I am again.
I just heard it again in a restaurant last night and omg, I've been listening to it on repeat all morning! ❤
One of the best songs of the 1990's. 1997 was such a great year for music, Sharleen really is a wonderful vocalist!
totally agree !!!
Agreed!!!
What is the song about?
Curious...
TEXMEX
She’s a stunna! Amazing voice too. 90s nostalgia hitting hard
Yep.
Tell me about it....
She's gorgeous, the music is the best
I always think Texas was a very underrated band. They had tremendous songs and a beautiful voice!!!
+Luis Figueiredo Agreed. :) And I would like to add Skunk Anansie as well to that group of underrated bands.
And they were similar to the Corrs, especially since she looks like Andrea (one Scottish, one Irish).
Charlene gets her looks from her Italian heritage.
i seen them when they supported foregone conclusion
More like a shitty agent instead of underrated,, they are highly rated just not publicly opened into sociëty cuz of it :c
One of the most underrated bands in history... simplistic, easy on the ear, good for so many moods.. just beautiful!
Underrated ???? 😂😂😂
@@tomgengar i mean top 10 singles, quite few numb 1 one albums,critical acclaimed..hardly underrated..

Respect ❤
I believe you... they seam nice and normal.
I really miss those music videos in the late 90s....always with a touch of cyber feeling.
In 1997 I was only 17 working my first job at Burger King. Certain songs STAYED on the radio...this was obviously one of them. So I learned it whether I wanted to or not and it is permanently ingrained in mind.
I love the chords that plays during the chorus. Sounds so heavenly and majestic.
Omg I was 25! I feel so old!
It's burnt in my mind for the same readons- I was 17 then too!

you look so young still! Looking very handsome. You were in the UK at the time? Cause this was not an american hit
If I have a time machine I will definitely go back to the 90s era! The best and last era that is really cool from music to movies everything!!!!!! ❤❤
One of the most underrated band. Their songs are over 25 years old and are still fresh.
Julius Caesar. Underrated emperor.
So what is the official metric for 'rating' a band? How do we know if they have rated correctly, underrated, or over-rated? Dying to find out!
Alles kommt Perfekt
@@mattthomas1344 so right! on the radio every day on the BBC in the UK.(before Ken left anyway).

Im 18 but same hahah

Right on Dude.
I agree with the missing something part..
Can’t beat the 90s. The golden years 🙌
Lies again? Aspirin NSaid
If i could leave the present and go back forever i would
Gosh I miss them so much...
"80 -es bits "90-es !!!!!☝️😃
The last great decade in music…
Beautiful song, text, melody, rythm.
The 1st song I can ever remember first coming out in the UK Singles Chart in early 1997
I was 17 years old when this song was out in 1996 I’m now 41 years old the 90s was the greatest decade of all
Missed these songs. Listening bc I saw you on rage this morning. You legend.
I dedicate this to the love of my life. Three years ago we ended and still cant get over her.. ❤
sorry to hear this :( is there any reason in particular why u guys couldn’t try again?
Get over it, dude. It's been years, and obviously she's moved on; and you should've too.
It’s already 2022, yet this song still sounds great!
But they really could have done an awful lot better with the quality of the sound on the video. Shame cause it would sell their music far better if they had made a better job of that. Halo video also has awful sound quality.... and that too is an excellent track.
awesome..
timeless music
Absolutely
And it will always be!!
This music was when i was 13 years of age😁 now im 36. It's still good in the ear❤️love this
We have the same age :)
1984 \o/
Just on 29
nostalgia 💪
Hahaha watching this on MTV back in HS... we have the same age we are so old...
90s pop songs were simply awesome and Texas was a gem. I used to listen to the radio and study ... Herd this song in 97-98 and it still is in my playlist.
I have even seen my 8 year old son trying to sing it when it gets played in the car.
Texas es uno de mis grupos favoritos!! Desde hace más de 20 años!!! Empecé muy jovencita a escucharles!!!
This song is my childhood. It takes me back to the times when life was easier, I love it!
Eternally optimistic sound. It's a lovely mystery how some people transmit an energy when they sing. She's like an albatross in flight with effortless vocals.
This reminds me of a very good friend who passed away with cancer, old school rock n roll guy, with a heart of gold. Rip frankie miss you brother🤙
Please upload in HD/4K quality! 240p puts this amazing song to shame.

Hauntingly beautiful. I spent time in Scotland in 2000. Music and dancing was everything there. A magical time in my life.
Superbe artiste!
90’s is the golden age of pop music!
Agreed, the golden age of pop, house, techno and trance. Beaut track this!
And the 70s were the golden age of soft rock music
Just sat here with my neat and dear friend Michelle! Just been listening to Count Joseph Locke also! :-) x
Also 70es and 80es was very full of big pop music
80's
One of my faves from end of nineties, love texas❤
I won’t get tired listening to this song over and over again. Wish there’s a time machine to take me back to this era of real good music.
Trudy Vargas I hadn’t heard this song for years until recently. Without Googling it I know it was 1997 ish. Great song & even better times back then😍
Harry Dunn Hi,Harry! I agree with you. All Music way back then are all meaningful. Filled with emotions in all levels.
G Georg I do that most of the time. Listening to the song rather than watching the video
somehow this song is so good that you able to play it on rotation without feeling burnt out.
Well, I am. And my heart fills with pain; again even alternativ 20 years...
This had got to be the most iconic use of rhythmic breaths in a pop song
It is not possible to move back to those times when life was flowing in its current, thanks to such songs I have a wonderful picture of those years in front of my eyes.
23 years since this beautiful song was released, ladies and gents...
Indeed
Oh yes and we still love it 💘
Wasn't she just gorgeous and fantastic singer ❤
Still going strong the band and I'm now 60 ( a young 60 ) and l go to any concert they play
Sharlene your amazing and a proud jock xxx
Beautiful voice, brilliant track, forgot how good Texas are. Deserve more accolades in my opinion.
Everything about it is brilliant!
Still one of my favourite after all these years
I remember cooking and setting up for these guys when they came to the theatre I worked at. I got front row seats after 😊
Takes me right back to those days... for me, one of the best then and still now. ... Ha, bitter-sweet nostalgia.
we need the HD version ! please ! pretty please
En 2023 la sigo escuchando y me encanta como en 1995 cuando descubrí este grupo
So in love with this song and with her, omg. One of my favorite songs of the nineties.
My get-away song, everytime i leave the ferryfrom ireland to enngand i play this , habit i suppose but it gives me a good start
La perfección absoluta desde me que empieza con un susurro, la calidez de su voz suave... Las pausas, como guardando algo mas para decir. El solo de guitarra, los platillos en el momento exacto. El final exacto, para que no se torne repetitiva y pesada la canción. Exquisitamente Perfect!
This was my jam when I was a wee young girlie in the 90's hahaha.
I miss the 90's were great pop music ruled the whole world.
Oh my god,,, this memories melt my heart,, just like yesterday we were young people with many romantic mysteries, and the songs of the 90's really felt close to our life

Texas reminds me so much of being a wee boy riding in the back of my Mum’s car playing my game boy colour. They were constantly on the radio, them, Roland Keaton and Top loader. 😄
Listening July 24. This played repeatedly at Target, my first job.
I love the way the music starts
With drums and bass and guitar parts
And then Sharleen's voice joins in
Singing words that make my heart spin
"Say what you want, but don't give up"
These lyrics fill me with such love
I sing along with all my might
And feel my soul take flight
The melody is pure delight
It lifts me up and makes things right
When life feels tough and full of strain
This song reminds me to maintain
The courage to speak my truth
To not let fear control my youth
To say what's in my heart and mind
And let my voice be unconfined
So thank you, Texas, for this song
It makes me feel like I belong
And when I hear those opening chords
I know that I'll never be ignored
💯💯💯💯❤️🥰🥰🥰
You are soooo correct I feel the same way ‼️‼️‼️
she was the voice of the 90's great band, like so many at that time. I want to go back
