That whole album is the most timeless i can think of. Every song a banger, lyrics relatable, that guitarwork. Just wow, i hope i can hear this for another 30 years.
This album is a masterpiece. Ian's brilliant guitar work along with the best lyricist on the planet equals greatness. This album got me though a tough time indeed. Love the Dels!
Best bridge in any song I’ve ever heard... with haunting lyrics that cut deep into my mind, tracing myself back into my own familiar story of which I’m still trying to understand... this song hits home. Hard. The numbness of heartache. The emptiness of a former lovers cold embrace. The places we used to frequent being changed/removed. This song brings out old wounds and yet delivers a sense of clarity that only really good music can do.
@@michellecooper3446 My condolences for your loss. The music can take us back and it's like actual time travel. Some of these amazing songs hurt and heal and I think that if you are the least bit human the struggle between those two is what reminds us how glorious and hurtful living is. I hope you see your companion again.
one of the best lines in a song for me .............."the riverside when we first kissed is now being reduced to a phoney old world market where only shoppers get seduced " the wondeful Dels .......luv it !!!!!
Iain Harvie's guitar work does as much to create the Del's soul-penetrating effect as Justin's lyrics and vocal performance. The talent of these gentlemen is absolutely astonishing. They should own the world if there were any justice. History will be kind to these geniuses. I'm certain of it. Quality will always last.
music simply doesn't get any better than this. this song never gets old no matter how many times I hear it. it's on every oldie tape I have and every cd I burned. now it's on my play lists. like a good friend, with me always.
This is great, I´ve "re-found" all these great songs, not having listened to them for almost 10 years...and now I almost only listen to them, luckily my CD`s are all intact...keep up the good work, thanks
Love this song, and an all round brilliant album too. I bought this in September, 1992, can't believe it's nearly 26 years ago, though. Only seems like yesterday in fact. :o) :o)
Brilliant album Genius's indeed .........This band should be recognised as one of the greatest bands not only to come out of Scotland but Britain ,no better lyricist the Justin Currie
The musical perfection and musicianship of this song and just beyond recognition (amazing). Add Justin's haunting vocal abilities and this becomes magical. Here's to Del Amitri reuniting and back in the studio. Can't wait to see them live! Thanks for posting this masterpiece.
Absolutely Fantastic Track, probably my favourite one, just SO clever all round, and one I always refer to when saying why Del Amitri are one my all time great Bands ( Especially Live ) The Lyrics are SO accurate as well. Justin Currie has to be up there with the best wordsmiths on modern music for a LONG time, even if this track was released in 1992, it still hits home today in 2019....
They played a low-key acoustic version of the first verse as a perfectly segued intro to ‘Driving With The Brakes On’ on the Sunday night at the Barras on 29 July 2018. A rare treat, one of many special moments that night. Great band. They really ought to have been frickin’ huge!
Epic tune. I went travelling with this album and saw some beautiful sunsets to this song. Reminds me of my buddy Pete who gave me this album. Sadly I lost him to depression.

For Charlotte a.k.a. 'Charlie' (1992-1997) Thanks for turning me on to Del Amitri, it was the best gift you ever gave me in our short time together!

An absolute gem....by any band. The lyrics, the production, just a great tune. LOVE the lyrics.
A lyrical masterpiece

25 years since I first heard it and it's still one of the very best songs I ever heard :D
No doubt!
Same here 👍
I heard this song on a Q Magazine compilation CD and I was a lifelong fan from that moment.
My late husband and me del amitri where the songs of our love, I miss him and I love him xx , oh how I miss those days. Memories. X

There are SO many clever observations in the Lyrics on this track, it takes a while to really get them. Just Brilliant all round.......

Totally Agree Mate......
These guys never got the respect and airtime they deserved.
100 percent accurate statement.

My favorite Del Amitri song. Magnificent lyrics and spectacular music create a truly magical song.
First time I've listened to this track in probably 15 years. Hasn't aged one bit. A classic.
This is great, I´ve "re-found" all these great songs, not having listened to them for almost 10 years...and now I almost only listen to them, luckily my CD`s are all intact...keep up the good work, thanks
Justin's lyrics, Iain's lead guitar, the entire band, the whole package.
Love this song, and an all round brilliant album too. I bought this in September, 1992, can't believe it's nearly 26 years ago, though. Only seems like yesterday in fact. :o) :o)
One of my favourites. Listened to this tape every morning walking to the bus stop in my youth.
Brilliant album Genius's indeed .........This band should be recognised as one of the greatest bands not only to come out of Scotland but Britain ,no better lyricist the Justin Currie
Totally Agree Alan.....
Yes to this!!
My teenage years and this band . Many thanks
