It's like that with most of us. We think we have problems in secondary school, oh boy, then we start work, living on our own having to pay bills, meet a partner, get married, have kids. Damn, the problems back then weren't that bad after all.
Remember listening to this on the car radio on a warm sunny afternoon in 1994 with car window down. It was such a beautiful gentle day, song and weather seem to go together. Weird how this memory has stuck my head.
It's 2024 and I am A, Still in love with Jacqui Abbot! B, Still think Paul Heaton is one of the very best British Songwriters ever, I think most people of my generation can sing along and know the lyrics of most Beautiful South songs even if we didn't realise we were fans at the time.
He didn't write this one. Fred Neil wrote it (and didn't like it. See Professor of Rock's youtube video about how Harry Nilsson hit big with this song after it featured in Midnight Cowboy). That said, it doesn't at all negate your statement
Ah the days of university life. No worries at all. We were with friends, the sun shone bright and I was with my girlfriend at the time. You cannot ever buy those priceless moments. This song brings it all back. The best version by a country mile for sure. never appreciated Jacqui Abbot back then but I do now. She really is beautiful.
@@tomaszarchie5207 The original hasn't been destroyed. And whether you like or don't like a version of it is subjective. I like it, because I like Jacqui Abbott's voice.
She used to sing outside my bedroom window as a teenager with her mates. Not at me just down the entry next to our houses 🤣 agadoo was their main number 🤣
Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping, staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talking at me Can't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No, I won't let you leave I won't let you leave my love behind
The Finest Cover of this Legendary song Ever . Brings back so many memories of when I was young , and listening to the Original song , my parents would sing to it , oh to have them times back again !!! The world was alot better than, I know there were problems then too but nothing like today's world, with all the inane PC and cancel culture etc . Thank God for You Tube , Etc , so we can in our minds go back there , someone invent a time machine so we can who ever wants to go back there can !!!
This is a curious song. Each new version brings out a new dimension of it. My guess is this will last as long as the original slow and the version in the Midnight Cowboy last.
The original singer was a guy called Fred Neil who wrote and recorded it in 1966 but the song became a big hit in 1969 for Harry Nilsson after it featured in the movie Midnight Cowboy and won a Grammy.

Being filmed was such a novelty back then. Everyone is smiling and waving at the camera. How adorable
And probably there was someone standing behind the camera waving and laughing at them. 😁
Reminds me of a simple time, being a kid , no worries or troubles.

My thoughts exactly
Paul Logan my fave song of all time...
Reminds me of been a kid aswell driving to sea side

She has such a perfect voice for this song....
No.
@@carrietide
Yes. A thousand times yes.
@@Itcouldbebunnies A thousand times and 1 more from me. A beautiful voice. The Beautiful South.
@@carrietideWhat? Are you tone deaf? This girl can sing, and she does this song justice by any measure. 😮
Harry Nilsson version is good. Prefer it to the original Fred Neil. This is a good cover of the Nilsson version.
Christ she was a beautiful young woman back then, and what a voice.
She's a beautiful middle aged woman now!
@@bobmackey9591 Jacqui Abbott is 49 and still just as fit as she was when she 1st joined bs I fancy her then and still do
Still is
One of the most beautiful women on earth,eyes to just melt into
Back then? How ungallant! She still scrubs up pretty well.
My mum loves that song 💜
Instant happiness
Classic song, Jacqui is absolutely stunning! What a beautiful voice, just perfect for this song
This always reminds me of Only Fools and Horses. A classic show for a classic time.
Jolly boys outing
@@cherylcannon3607 Haha thats the one Cheryl 🤣
I love the contrast of the beautiful song (and singer) and the ludicrous bed rolling through the streets - brilliant!
I love everything The Beautiful South have ever done 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great cover that beautiful South done, Jacqui voice is so beautiful
Ah the days of university life. No worries at all. We were with friends, the sun shone bright and I was with my girlfriend at the time. You cannot ever buy those priceless moments.

Jacqui has a brilliant voice never realized just how beautiful she is.
Such a great song. Beautiful South's version is wonderful.
Simply the best ❤❤❤❤
Absolute rubbish…they have destroyed a great song
@@tomaszarchie5207 The original hasn't been destroyed. And whether you like or don't like a version of it is subjective. I like it, because I like Jacqui Abbott's voice.
@Anthony Dempo It's from a movie called Midnight Cowboy with Angelina Jolie's father and - Dustin Hoffman
but it’s "skipping" not "tripping over the ocean"…
One of the best songs the band did. Just flows along nicely...
The North of England has always turned out some of the best pop groups of all time, Sting, Beetles, and the Beautiful South
Learn to spell its Beatles NOT BEETLES AS THAT IS A BUG BS ARE FROM THE NORTHEAST HULL AND THE BEATLES Where NOT A POP POP BAND
Oasis, stone Roses, happy Mondays, Lisa stansfield
I love this lovely laidback version of the great song.
I’m going where the sun keep shining though the pouring rain
Everybody’s talking at me xx
Beatiful song, no worries, makes me feel calm and happy❤
BEST VERSION OF THIS BY A MILE.
You are obviously deaf,…sorry to hear that…
Jacqui Abbot has the most amazing voice.
And 💋
She was Gorgeous before gorgeous became the so called norm for women. #beforesurgery
It's beautiful.
And so pretty
She used to sing outside my bedroom window as a teenager with her mates. Not at me just down the entry next to our houses 🤣 agadoo was their main number 🤣
One of my most favourite's of the Beautiful South 💟💟💟💟💟💟
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind
Jacqui Abbott is still working with Paul Heaton and STILL looks gorgueous! (2020!)

House martins beautiful south what a gem Paul heaton underrate
Very good song. And Jacqui has a great singing voice. It's a shame this only has just over 500,000 views (I wish it had more).
I love this song, it takes me right back to when I was 17 years old, and just starting out in life, and it brings back some lovely memories
Great memories, great times.
Same...not so great times, I was fighting a tumour as a 17yr old. Needless to say I'm 44 now, listened to this regularly in hospital.
@@burroughsw5058 Its Jamie Davies I live in the UK I hope your alright Burroughs W my mate and buddy.
The last great generation of British musicians. The song and composition are not theirs, but their performance is something unbeatable!
this brings some happy times back from my youth
Criminally underrated!!!!
Absolutely fantastic... Who's with me on that?
Definitely
Timeless. This will still be popular in 2050.
This song brings back so many great memories also some sad ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Music instantly reminds us of times in our life, happy times, sad times, people, things, places. """"Memories""".
This is a lovely song I like it very much it has rhythm and the wording of this song is magnifi
1994! Feels like yesterday when I first heard this wonderful track.. Memorys
one of the best lines in any song...I'm going where the weather suits my clothes :D
I know it’s subjective but I’ll say it anyway. This is the best ever version of the song.
original is the best nothing can beat harry
Bring them back the 80 s good time s listening to the beautiful south
Well that is just your opinion ..Which you are entitled to have.
I absolutely agree.
Nah, Fred Neil’s original version is best but this is amazing.
Most charming to heart.
Loved being a nineties kid, this song takes me back.
How good does this song make you feel.
Remember hearing this version of the song on the radio on a lovely warm sunny summer’s day back in 1994. Alway reminds me of summer of 1994
I remember this being played on Atlantic 252 during the Summer of 1994. Great days! ☀️
@@JamesRodwell-dc3jb You can still listen to a dedicated Atlantic 252 station online if you search. I can't link it here because YT keeps deleting it.

Your father had very good taste.
This is a curious song. Each new version brings out a new dimension of it. My guess is this will last as long as the original slow and the version in the Midnight Cowboy last.
