@@commanderjameson2708 You have a point there. If you wouldn't tell the person the release date, someone might actually guess the song to be from the 60s. You're right.

For those who don’t know, this was the La’s one and only album. Around the time of 1994, the band completely vanished from the music scene and never properly resurfaced afterwards. Its sad to see a band with so much potential simply dissapear for reasons unknown, especially when you know they could have been one of the greats.
99.999% of the time its just bad management who didnt know how to capitalize on that 15 minutes of fame and turn it into something sustained. There are so many examples of great bands who actually either did or could have had long careers of great songs, but idiotic management meant the world only ever got to see a single songs brief but brilliant day in the sun. And more often than not , the crushing disapointment of not maintaining that hit streak just crushes a bands morale and it dies.
Those of us that knew the scene in Liverpool know the reason why the la's never had a second album... You're right that they could have been one of the greats but eventually promoters, labels, venues and fans get tired of no shows and sub par live performances. Addiction is an awful thing and I hope he's clean and healthy now but they missed the boat to fame unfortunately. At least we will always have this perfect pop song.
@@Hagg-o-tron I hadn't realised that. Certainly, I'm struck by how unhealthy one of the band members looks in this video. I never saw this video at the time but got the album about the time it came out and loved it. What a terrible waste of talent.

After two miscarriages my wife gave birth to our two little twins girls only four days ago. Since they were premature (32 weeks of pregnancy), it was necessary to put them immediately under full-time assistance for newborns, and they shall remain there for more than one month. Although there is a very competent team with them, I can't help but feeling a mix of sorrow, hope, relief, and pain while watching them struggle for their lives. To be born and to die shares the same dwell against odds, and you never know what will be the result. While they are being fed and sleep, I try to cuddle and sing a lullaby. This song happened to appear on RUclips's suggestion. The lyrics express their situation because there are several cables to nurture them through their veins, mouth, and nose. In the meantime, I'm constantly praying for their speedy recovery and growth. What is left for me as their father is to image them running down through the corridor once they're older enough, and all of this will be a beacon of a shade memory fading away in my mind.
My brother was born when my mum was only 7mths pregnant,he was less than 2lb,hes all grown up and is the father to two sets off twins,both sets are boys,one set identical the other set are so different to each other,they too had the same fight my brother had when he came into the world,these little premature babies are stronger than we can ever imagine,enjoy them at every stage off their lives as they grow up so fast,oh btw I was 18 when my brother was born,he was a surprise,my mum didn’t find out until she was 5mths pregnant,he was in a hurry to be born so was a big surprise to us all,good luck to you and your little girls x❤️❤️x
@@mangoblaze Much better, Mango! The girls have now completed 18 months and are fully healthy and developing according to their corrected age (16 months). The trouble now is the sleep deprivation that is affecting me and my wife, but that is the best outcome we could have in our lives since it means they are here with both of us!

And sadly about 5 years too early to ride the Britpop invasion into the US. while this stuff was on the fringes of pop in the UK in 88, the americans had no idea what to make of it. It would have sounded at once both anachronistic and futuristic to them. If they had launched in the US after about 93 they would have been chart killers. Alas, I think the label spent too much trying to promote a band in the US that the US market wasnt ready for and it broke the band.
If you were ever going to have a one hit wonder this has to be it. It’s the perfect three minute single. Once you’ve produced this you can never surpass it. It’s the citizen Kane of pop music.
For me, this is an absolute happy song. It plays in Gilmore Girls which is my comfort tv-show and it gives me this feeling of pure cozyness. I'm gonna go watch Gilmore Girls now☺
_is played_ 😉 But I _totally_ agree with you! On the very first episode, furthermore: on the very first scene of _Gilmore girls_ Lorelai is walking to Luke's café while this song can be heard in the background. 😊
It is called happy sad, happily unhappy. It is when you have reached a point of sadness that you are happy about your sadness. It's a mature state of mind. Always love this feeling.

Great point. Just shows you can write a fantastic pop song and not conform to the same strict set of pop rules. I wish pop singers and producers today would do the same.

You write very beautifully. I read that not with my eyes, rather my heart. From a time before our hearts were forever tamed & took the shape of the world around us. Like a mirage in the desert, forever seemed to have no end.

Great song. great guys. Drank with them on several occasions in the Albert on Lark Lane in the mid 0's Worked for Lee a couple of years ago doing a bit of plastering. Really nice guy in real life. Proper scouser, and a gentelman. John Powers is also a fantastic singer and really nice bloke. Love these guys.

The first time I heard this song was when Sixpence None the richer covered it. I loved that cover, but this is something magical. The song sung how it's supposed to be, not sanitised and standardised... the intended accent and emotion. Everything is perfect about this song, including the fact that it doesn't mess around. Says what it wants to say and ends before it gets boring and repetitive.
Es una de las cinco canciones perfectas según la ciencia, los acordes mueven los estados de ánimo de la felicidad a la nostalgia. Es ciencia, pero parece magia.
@@lennon1482 I have to say, i always thought this was an American band (Although i was 6 years old when it was first released) and its only been in recent years ive found out it was a Liverpool band...but now that i know it is obvious when i listen to it, 100% northern England. Also i didn't not know the lead singer of Cast was in this band too
I like Lee Mavers face expression into the camera at 0:15 …… it’s like ‘I’ve created one of the best songs of all time , I’m gonna enjoy this 3.5 minutes of bliss’ …. Lol
it is not about heroin, been proven to not be the case in multiple interviews. he had not even tried heroin until 2 years after this song was released.. golden brown however is a very popular song that is secretly about heroin @@stevenaddison4167
My best friend worked for a while with the drummer (He's a rope access worker these days). He said this song is his pension as he gets a nice royalties cheque through the door every month just from this one song.

✨I lost my girlriend, the love of my life three months ago and three weeks after she passed, I heard this song. Idk if I believe in signs .. but THIS! her death was sudden, and happened when her went to sleep(never left her bed). We were planning on getting married next year. There isn't a day that goes by since I heard this song, where I don't listen to it. Thank you for making such a powerful song! by far and always will be my favorite song!✨
This song is up there with 'Love will tear us apart'. A song that other top bands wish they'd written and recorded. Doesn't matter that the band, in its various line ups, didn't conquer the world. Everyone remembers this song - it takes over your mind and takes you places.
@@banksiasong Great point. There was a cultural backlash to Thatcher's destruction of society and we need something similar to happen today. You do see snippets of it, but we're not there yet.
I miss Lee Mavers, if he only could record himself singing some of his tunes i would be really glad. I miss this kind of genuine musicians and i miss my childhood listening to The La’s, god bless Lee Mavers❤ greetings from Mexico🇲🇽
.An old friend, Nigel Weston RIP, once told me he was working for a commercial property leasing firm on Merseyside in the late 80s - early 90s. One day his boss tells him to get the keys for a derelict factory building that was on their books, get his arse down there and let in a pop band and camera crew who are shooting a music video. As this was not the usual he asked who the band was, his boss looks at the paperwork and tells him "it's the L.A.'s, never heard of 'em, probably Americans from the name" Anyways the L.A.'s were the Las and he spent the day watching them make this. Always think of Nige when I hear this.
I was probably one of the first people to hear this song. I was in a band in the late 80s and one night after a gig we were staying in Lancaster Gate Hotel in London when these guys came in. We got chatting and went upstairs to their room for a smoke and drink and they played us their demo. I remember sitting on the floor and Lee was standing on his bed, this song came on and my jaw dropped. They were nice fellas, younger than us, but I knew I'd heard something special. You don't believe me? Fine. My band toured with The Ramones and Iggy Pop. We were called The Seers and although we never made it big we had a good crack at it. ruclips.net/video/HT99Bx-gFa0/видео.html
Meu irmao preto amava tocar essa música, agora carrega nas costas um mochilao maior que ele, dando plantão na frente da c0vid. Ele que cuidou dos meus filhos, um dia perguntei onde estava o baixo que dei para ele, ele respondeu que vendeu para pagar um curso de enfermagem, o sonho dele era ser socorrista.
If only Lee could overcome his perfectionism. He's could be up there with the songwriting GOATs. This one album is this good, it makes you feel sad to think what could have been.
There she goes There she goes again Racing through' my brain And I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she blows There she blows again Pulsing through my vein And I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she goes, there she goes again She calls my name, pulls my train No one else could heal my pain But I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she goes There she goes again Chasing down my lane And I just can't contain This feelin' that remains There she goes There she goes There she goes
The love of my life It never worked out But this song will always belong to her😊 Look at life as memories instead of a permanant thing This keeps me warm dudes
I absolutely agree with you.....Because English guys are charming and they act like gentlemen.I really respect this type of men.Most of them are attractive.And I think Englishmen often very independent and more responsible than Russian guys...….
Caverman and other folks, what do you think, why is this song impossible to dislike? Which characteristics of this song determine this? Is there anybody who plays or writes music here?
No, your sad already. Get the "pistols" on the hi-fi and crack out the special brew. If that doesn't make you punch the wife on the chin well I just guess you'll never be happy.
i always called this one the epitome of pop music cuz it has a catchy riff,catchy progression,catchy melody,catchy lyrics and basically everything is catchy its a well made song
This actually probably IS the greatest song ever made, it isn't my favourite song ever made but it is literally flawless, what more culd you want a song to actually be?
Me encanta la ropa de Lee Mavers... me encanta todo de él, su corte de cabello, su postura, su voz, su presencia. Y además estoy enamorada de John Power. Es tan lindo (para mi). Tenía un aspecto muy juvenil y de chico común y corriente. Un chico que tranquilamente podrías cruzarte por cualquier lado. Me encanta !! En fin. Estos muchachos fueron fabulosos. Podrían haber llegado a mucho ! De hecho "Cast" es una gran banda y John dijo "ahora canto yo", lo hizo de diez =)

1990 I was 17 with lots of dreams in my drawer .... I heard this song on telly in Italy today and my heart raced!!!! So many great memories from Italy to England ..this song used to be played a lot In 1997 On The radio
What a great journey my life has been so far.. 47 now
Love you all godbless
Follow your dreams ..but mostly follow your instinct ..your heart and you’ll be fine
Trust me!!!
❤️
Thanks mate
Bless up brother x

The only song in Gilmore Girls that doesn't have any " La La La" in it
Edit: Damn the band has it on their name.
Facts
But the band is called the la's
Best comment so far !!!
Good one I agree
@@ElportuxD You're right la.
Great song. great guys. Drank with them on several occasions in the Albert on Lark Lane in the mid 0's Worked for Lee a couple of years ago doing a bit of plastering. Really nice guy in real life. Proper scouser, and a gentelman. John Powers is also a fantastic singer and really nice bloke. Love these guys.
I just turned sixty. In my opinion this is one of the best songs ever. And I tell you, the entire album is pretty darn good.
Also just turned 60. I keep forgetting the rest of the album exists! I'll have to go find it and listen to it. Thanks for the reminder. And happy birthday!
maybe listen to monk,c oltraine and miles Davis. this is childish cotton candy. we are the same age. grow.
@@dmlevitt Sorry, but the comment section for _„Finally I’m a sexagenarian, which music is appropriate?“_ just moved elsewhere. You’ve missed it by that 🖕🏼much.
@@julieaskingforafriendhappy birthday guys! @fatdad664able 💯💯🥳🥳🎂🎂 this album is a masterpiece, imho.
@@dmlevitt Sorry, but the „Finally I am old, which type of music must I listen to be taken serious?“ bus for sexagenarians left last Friday….. and you missed it.
this band deserves way more recognition, im glad they could still release some quality music!
These guys look and sound like every famous British band combined
That's because they are British
They are so stereotypically british, the lead singer looks like david bowie and hugh laurie combined
They were the founders of 90s britpop
@@MrGlk Exactly, they're the forerunners of some of the other bands mentioned here.
Yeah, the bassist looks exactly like the singer from Cast. Weird.
The first time I heard this song was when Sixpence None the richer covered it. I loved that cover, but this is something magical. The song sung how it's supposed to be, not sanitised and standardised... the intended accent and emotion. Everything is perfect about this song, including the fact that it doesn't mess around. Says what it wants to say and ends before it gets boring and repetitive.
Hard to believe this is 1990. Looks and sounds so fresh it could have come out this year, and it would still have been a hit.

It's 1988
This isn't even a 90s song, thought it was, it's from 1988 which makes it even more insane
I know it's not from nowadays because nowadays "mainstream" is almost ALMOST 100% SHIT
I've been listening to this song for 32 years and it always makes me smile
Song came out in 1990 you liar

yeah!!! same here!! love this song
We should grab a beer lol:)

Es una de las cinco canciones perfectas según la ciencia, los acordes mueven los estados de ánimo de la felicidad a la nostalgia. Es ciencia, pero parece magia.

@@fernandovillalba1762 there's a place es otra
This music can only come from the UK
Really? I'd agree on Beatles, Kinks, Smiths and many more, but this has a very 60s West Coast feel to me (Byrds) - the music, mind you, not the looks!
@@thenavajoknow nah mate this sounds scouse
@@lennon1482 I have to say, i always thought this was an American band (Although i was 6 years old when it was first released) and its only been in recent years ive found out it was a Liverpool band...but now that i know it is obvious when i listen to it, 100% northern England.
Also i didn't not know the lead singer of Cast was in this band too
The good Music always come from UK

More like "I am singing about my heroin addiction"
Congratulation you finally find the song that play in your head all along
ahahhahahahah its true bro!
Literally.
I love this song. I knew this music in The Parent Trap movie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ah that's were the bizarre song is aswell. makes sense lol
@@onesyphorus the song is about heroin
Same 😢
So I Married an Axe Murderer , de mike myers
it is not about heroin, been proven to not be the case in multiple interviews. he had not even tried heroin until 2 years after this song was released.. golden brown however is a very popular song that is secretly about heroin @@stevenaddison4167
Impossible not to repeat this song several times in a row
Because why ???

4 going on 5...

7 this will be the 8th... having a crush doeant help rn
This came back to me randomly after years. Still hits the same.
This band is from Liverpool.
I love reading those comments where people share their childhood memories or any kind of memory with a particular song.
Nobody does rock music like the Brits.

yup and now remember England,Wales,Scotland and Northern Ireland have all produced some great bands our lovely United Kingdom these blessed isles

Over eight and a half thousand comments, and every single one full of love for this song.🤩
This song is in like every 2000s movie❤️❤️
Naraj 85 yass!!!
This song was featured in Love Actually
Parent trap🥰
My best friend worked for a while with the drummer (He's a rope access worker these days). He said this song is his pension as he gets a nice royalties cheque through the door every month just from this one song.
@Cool Waters Can't see why he'd lie about it. It may not be an equal division though.
Lead singer is a cross between Mick Jagger and Noel Gallagher. Can't be more British that that!
He's their love child, héhé 😏
He even sounds like Mick Jagger
Throw some Peter Gabriel in the mix
Lol
Sounds nothing like either
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
There she goes
There she goes again
There she goes
There she goes again
it's about heroin
wow, couldn't have said it better
what was the point of that
Para los que quieren saber la letra en español:
Ahí va ella
Ahí va ella otra vez
Compitiendo con mi cerebro
Y no puedo contener
Este sentimiento que permanece
Ahí va ella
Ahí va ella otra vez
Palpitando en mis venas
Y no puedo contener
Este sentimiento que permanece
Ahí va ella
, ahí va ella otra vez
Dice mi nombre
, empuja mi tren
Nadie podría aliviar mi dolor
Y no puedo contener
Este sentimiento que permanece
Ahí va ella
Ahí va ella otra vez
Persiguiendo mi carril
Y no puedo contener
Este sentimiento que perdura
Ahí va ella
Ahí va ella otra vez
Ahí va ella
Ahí va ella otra vez
Ahí va ella
Ahí ya ella otra vez

✨I lost my girlriend, the love of my life three months ago and three weeks after she passed, I heard this song. Idk if I believe in signs .. but THIS! her death was sudden, and happened when her went to sleep(never left her bed). We were planning on getting married next year. There isn't a day that goes by since I heard this song, where I don't listen to it. Thank you for making such a powerful song! by far and always will be my favorite song!✨
I just love how my life changed since I first heard it, I love even more the emotions it brings back from that time
This song is up there with 'Love will tear us apart'. A song that other top bands wish they'd written and recorded. Doesn't matter that the band, in its various line ups, didn't conquer the world. Everyone remembers this song - it takes over your mind and takes you places.
Great comparison 👏
To be fair there are thousands of songs other artists wish they'd written and recorded.
Two top song
My dad's band supported The La's! Love them!
2024💛
Literally, the song is just a Chorus, a beautiful chorus ans that's it... its amazing.
2 minutes and 50 seconds of pure joy.
Mario Škof 2minutes and 52 seconds to be precis
Mario Škof yeah the other two seconds were pretty depressing but besides that it was great
GOD I LOVE THIS SONG! Even in my darkest moments, it reaches me. Everything about it is flawed perfection. Thank you, La's.
This is England 90' is so good.
Nope. It's 80's
@@DeugalihVideo he meant the tv show mate
Thatcher destroyed Britain, but some great music came out of the psychological and social damage.
It was late 80's
@@banksiasong Great point. There was a cultural backlash to Thatcher's destruction of society and we need something similar to happen today. You do see snippets of it, but we're not there yet.
I miss Lee Mavers, if he only could record himself singing some of his tunes i would be really glad. I miss this kind of genuine musicians and i miss my childhood listening to The La’s, god bless Lee Mavers❤ greetings from Mexico🇲🇽
Great comment, it made me look up his story and wow.💛
This album is Noel Gallagher's favourite album of all time.
wait can u tell me where he said this

.An old friend, Nigel Weston RIP, once told me he was working for a commercial property leasing firm on Merseyside in the late 80s - early 90s. One day his boss tells him to get the keys for a derelict factory building that was on their books, get his arse down there and let in a pop band and camera crew who are shooting a music video. As this was not the usual he asked who the band was, his boss looks at the paperwork and tells him "it's the L.A.'s, never heard of 'em, probably Americans from the name" Anyways the L.A.'s were the Las and he spent the day watching them make this. Always think of Nige when I hear this.
the way in that the melody changes in 1:38 is heaven

IT does not change.
Only YOU are changing...

It's perfect. That's it! Absolutely perfect.
I was probably one of the first people to hear this song. I was in a band in the late 80s and one night after a gig we were staying in Lancaster Gate Hotel in London when these guys came in. We got chatting and went upstairs to their room for a smoke and drink and they played us their demo. I remember sitting on the floor and Lee was standing on his bed, this song came on and my jaw dropped. They were nice fellas, younger than us, but I knew I'd heard something special. You don't believe me? Fine. My band toured with The Ramones and Iggy Pop. We were called The Seers and although we never made it big we had a good crack at it. ruclips.net/video/HT99Bx-gFa0/видео.html

Yes I could imagine would happen with this song - a wonderful moment - may that stay with you for always - it does for me.
That's Amazing!! what a fantastic story!!
+rugshort Come on then smart arse whats the song about?
amazing story!
Imagine if you had said that's shit
Meu irmao preto amava tocar essa música, agora carrega nas costas um mochilao maior que ele, dando plantão na frente da c0vid. Ele que cuidou dos meus filhos, um dia perguntei onde estava o baixo que dei para ele, ele respondeu que vendeu para pagar um curso de enfermagem, o sonho dele era ser socorrista.
This song would have been a hit in ANY decade.
If only Lee could overcome his perfectionism. He's could be up there with the songwriting GOATs. This one album is this good, it makes you feel sad to think what could have been.
Lucky it was recommended to me, thank you RUclips.

heart rendering, somehow joyful and melancholic as well. It fits to a wedding and to a funeral. This song comforts you, simply great.
Lightning in a bottle! A perfect pop song in 2 minutes and 51 seconds. I still have my original UK vinyl of this.
This is why I love England and British boys.

Wow, I don't really know how this song makes me feel, happy, nostalgic, sad??
Daniel Buggie same. I can’t figure it out either
I think that's the beauty of this song, it makes you feel so many things - nostalgia, sadness, loss, happiness, good memories, excitement
Same here dude, !!
No, your sad already. Get the "pistols" on the hi-fi and crack out the special brew. If that doesn't make you punch the wife on the chin well I just guess you'll never be happy.
it’s probably because this songs about the sad and happy parts of using heroin that what the songs about btw

must be the earliest "Britpop" sound. ten years before its time.
This song kick-started it, paved the way for Suede, Pulp, Blur and ultimately Oasis
Again....long live Generation X and our great music. Too few of us.
You said it 🎵
extremely ahead of time piece of music. if they wrote that song in 2013 nobody would notice...
Gilmore girls introduced this song to me nd i'm so thankful.

Greatest song the 60’s never wrote!
Feels like it could have been a single from the Byrds
大好き。この曲がというよりこの曲のメロディには自分の憧憬が詰まっている。
i always called this one the epitome of pop music cuz it has a catchy riff,catchy progression,catchy melody,catchy lyrics and basically everything is catchy its a well made song
This actually probably IS the greatest song ever made, it isn't my favourite song ever made but it is literally flawless, what more culd you want a song to actually be?
The highest level of volume on my earphones isn't loud enough for this classic.
There is something distinctive about British Bands 🎉
Me encanta la ropa de Lee Mavers... me encanta todo de él, su corte de cabello, su postura, su voz, su presencia. Y además estoy enamorada de John Power. Es tan lindo (para mi). Tenía un aspecto muy juvenil y de chico común y corriente. Un chico que tranquilamente podrías cruzarte por cualquier lado. Me encanta !! En fin. Estos muchachos fueron fabulosos. Podrían haber llegado a mucho ! De hecho "Cast" es una gran banda y John dijo "ahora canto yo", lo hizo de diez =)
