it's fucking 2020, and i still remember jamming out to that cd, because my mom played it all the time. (clearly she had good taste in music). and i'm still here listening to them
Ah, yes, the glorious days when EBTG would actually appear in their videos! Love this song, awesome video. Love the whole Tempermental album - it's underappreciated, for sure.
Big shoutout to my mom for playing these old school tunes and showing me 80’s/90’s music. Growing up as a Gen Z I can say that this music is actually banging compared to some of the music from my generation!
EBTG music is still played in huge clubs in Montreal Canada, the remixes and originals back to back are awesome, can't stop dancing. This group was always one of my favs
This is crazy cause my parents played EBTG one day and I asked where the heck they heard this and their response was “back in our day at the clubs in Montreal. Unfortunately I was born in Vancouver and we have yet to do a trip to Montreal so I can see it. I bet it’s just as exciting as the song itself. This band from England is phenomenal though! Not like todays music I grew up on its quite unique and different!
Bought this CD when I went to live in Spain on my own for a year in 2000. Was a real signature CD for me. Its an incredible CD about loneliness with some haunting tunes and lyrics. Great CD
What is the city but the people? What is the city without great music? This one never gets old. Doubtful, we'll see them live again. Nonetheless, Everything But the Girl will remain timeless.
@@JordanA2345 yes, I’ve watched this movie about the same amount of times. I’ve been a fan of EBTG for a long period of time and remember when I first saw it, it caught me off guard. Hitch and EBTG are still two of my favorites!
@@jasonr.9863 I just started listening to their albums. Driving, Five Fathoms, and Missing have been my favorite for years. The Temperamental album is amazing ! I'm sure you know that by now lol
Their music took so many twists and turns - go back and listen to their first few albums and you will find a whole different sound that was magnificent.
Man, they nailed it with this one! It does remind me of a hot summer night, Greenwhich Village, in the 80s. So glad to be there, wish we could go back...
this is not just the past. It is the present and the future. It is the promise we make to ourselves so that everything will return as before, but if it does not return this remains the only way to stay in the present that we can imagine.
Love this song.. Fall of 2000 walking the campus of University of Maryland. Lets go terps!!!! remember this student playing it on his small radio.. 17yrs later.. wow i am getting old..

....EBTG were literally on the cusp of the shift in Dance Music (towards the end of 1999), leaving progressive House, & leaning to the Electro / Body & Soul French House sounds of Cassius, Daft Punk, Ananda Project, Bob Sinclar, etc., in the new millenium (2000- onwards) (cont.) ....this # 1 Dance tune kept the balance in the shift, w. the Club 69 "Big Room" remixes, & the Kevin Yost 'Side Room' remixes....then, Ben Watt became a name, with his "Lazy Dog" moniker...THIS, is how a Band updates, and EDUCATES.....
The groove, the words, the images... It's our sweet and safe place. But I'm still waiting for the one who tells me she will take me Home and make it easy...
This was one of the first songs I played in Beatmania IIDX 3rd Style back in 2000. Getting used to 7-key play took some time, and I started (and stayed!) on the 2P side since it felt so strange having the turntable on the left. But man, it was so cool seeing actual videos playing vs. the more basic graphics of the 5-key games, and the IIDX arcade machines just looked so amazing. I'll forever associate this song with that game and era of my life.
EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL - TEMPERAMENTAL Everything but the Girl are an English musical duo formed in Kingston upon Hull in 1982, consisting of lead singer, songwriter, composer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, producer and singer Ben Watt. The group's early works have been categorized as sophisti-pop with jazz influences before undergoing an electronic turn following the worldwide success of the 1994 hit single "Missing". The duo have achieved four top 10 and 12 top 40 singles in the UK and have received eight gold and two platinum album BPI certifications in the UK as well as one gold album RIAA certification in the US. Their cover of "I Don't Want to Talk About It" reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1988, a feat later matched by "Missing", which charted high in several countries and reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1995 and spent over seven months on the UK Singles Chart thanks to a popular remix by Todd Terry which led to a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single. Their ninth album Walking Wounded (1996) set a new career best by entering the UK albums chart at No. four, and spawned the top 10 singles "Walking Wounded" and "Wrong". The band went inactive in 2000, with Thorn declaring that she would no longer perform live. Thorn and Watt, who did not publicise their romantic relationship while active, married in 2009, both released solo albums and said it was unlikely Everything but the Girl would be active again. However, in November 2022, Thorn announced an album had been recorded for release in the second quarter of 2023. Fuse, the band's first new material in 24 years, was released on 21 April 2023. The discography of Everything but the Girl consists of eleven studio albums, eight compilation albums, five extended plays, thirty-one singles, and one video album. The band formed in Hull during 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Ben Watt. ♥️💯‼️And I have the great honor of having in my discography eight CD-albums by Everything But The Girl (or EBTG). Because I have three duplicate CD-albums and the other two CD-albums are just one copy of each. So, I have in my discography AMPLIFIED HEART (1994) two copies of this CD-Album. I also have two copies of the CD-Album WALKING WOUNDED (1996). I still have a single copy of the CD-Album, which is a greatest hits, THE BEST OF EBTG (1996). Also a single unit, also on CD-Album, from TEMPERAMENTAL (1999). And, finally, the most recent record work, released on April 21st of this year, the CD-Album, FUSE. Also two copies. Altogether there are eight CD-albums by Everything But The Girl as I mentioned at the beginning of this comment. Honestly, I've loved this duo since I heard the radio version of "I Don't Want To Talk About It". And, in the mid-nineties, when Todd Terry remixed "Missing", it was a huge commercial success worldwide. On their latest studio album, FUSE (2023), the British duo is to be congratulated for the excellent work. It took them a long time to come back, but the new CD-Album was worth the wait. It's very well done. I love the ten songs! It's worth having an album, in my case, in CD format! I know all the previous works of the EBTG. But after "Missing" and AMPLIFIED HEART, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn became huge international stars! I simply adore them! ♥️💯‼️I add these additional words to close my personal comment: as well as having a high regard for this wonderful and very talented British duo, I consider myself a huge fan of them! God bless you and may you continue to work on your songs that I love and that are great artistic records both national and international! Thank you very much for your music! ♥️💯‼️ Temperamental is the tenth studio album by British musical duo Everything but the Girl. It was released on 27 September 1999 by Atlantic Records in the United States and Virgin Records in Europe. By the end of 1999, Temperamental had sold 115,000 copies in the United States, according to Billboard. It sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, and was met with success in the dance market. "The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)" (US Dance No. 1, UK No. 31), "Five Fathoms" (US Dance No. 1, No. UK No. 27), "Blame", "Temperamental" (US Dance No. 1, UK No. 72) and "Lullaby of Clubland" (US Dance No. 3) were released as singles. Temperamental was reissued by Edsel Records as a two-disc deluxe set on 4 September 2015. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt recorded Temperamental in the immediate period following the birth of their twin daughters in 1998. Due to Thorn's preoccupation with motherhood, her level of involvement in the creation of the album was scaled back, with Watt taking on a more prominent role in writing lyrics and music. Thorn recorded most of her vocals during late-night studio sessions, after the twins had gone to sleep. In her autobiography Bedsit Disco Queen (2013), she remarked that "in a sense, [she] ended up being guest vocalist on someone else's album". It has also been claimed that much of the material also deals with the duo's feelings towards that fame they had attained, following the success of Todd Terry’s remix of their 1994 track, "Missing" and the achievements of their previous album Walking Wounded. According to Pitchfork's Laura Snapes, tracks like the final song “The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)” deal with, "pessimistic lyrics [that] spoke of alienation not just from other people, but from any sense of the past or the future." According to AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Temperamental was a continuation of the musical direction pursued by Everything but the Girl on their previous album Walking Wounded (1996), merging electronica with elements of folk, jazz and pop. He described the musical style of Temperamental as a minor refinement of that of Walking Wounded, eschewing its drum and bass and trip hop influences in favour of a more house-driven sound. Salon writer Amanda Nowinski wrote that Temperamental retained drum and bass breakbeats but was mostly informed by "old-school" garage house, while NME characterised the album as "a left-turn into deep house ambience and trip-hop grooves" that is "punctuated by vulnerable lyrics and vocal performances" from Tracey Thorn. Michael White of The Quietus viewed it as "an aesthetic continuation of [Walking Wounded], synthesizing the most recent developments of clubland with the duo's intrinsic song-based approach". Ben Watt incorporated production techniques that he had learned from his three years as a resident DJ at Bar Rumba and Notting Hill Arts Club into the album's songs, including cross-fading, back spinning, and filtering. This reliance on dance music is notable on the album's first single, "The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)", that features Deep Dish and is composed upon a sample of the band's 1996 single "Stay Gold". Stephen Thomas Erlewine observed that the songs on Temperamental "are essentially in the singer/songwriter vein" and described the album as a whole as "more of a meditative, reflective piece", while also observing a relative lack of pop hooks compared to Walking Wounded. Michael White noted the contrast between the "swaggering urban rhythms" of the music and the deeply introspective nature of the lyrics. "It's not as poppy as Walking Wounded," Tracey Thorn would later remark, while attributing the album's darker and less accessible nature to the circumstances surrounding its creation: "It's like going back to Amplified Heart: you can tell it's made by people who are in a stage of turmoil and change again." Thorn, composing lyrics for Temperamental, found herself unable to articulate her feelings about motherhood and other significant changes occurring in her life at the time, and as a result she instead opted to write from a non-autobiographical standpoint.

God the nostalgia, going out playing DDR back in the day like that. Great track. Also, awesome to see this song end up in Beatmania IIDX 3rd Style (the next gen Beatmania iteration the guy was playing at 2:15)

London has changed sooooo much!! It used to be alive and pumping back then and now its changed! So sad to see the difference. Im glad I enjoyed myself falling over on a sunday morning!
I remember going to Tokyo in 1999 and finding out what DDR was, there were people lined up around the block wanting to play it, what an amazing phenomenon.
It was such a wholesome moment, and you are lucky you've witnessed its absolute fresh peak then. I found original cabinets during my last visit a few months ago and was so happy to play on the originals!
Recuerdo haber escuchado esta joya de canción del grupo EBTG en un canal de cable el ya desaparecido MUSIC21 gracias a ese canal conosi buenos grupos que se volvieron mi adicción que tiempos por Dios cuando todavía se podía apreciar la buena música
Recuerdo que era el canal electrónica.tv, que estaba dentro de music 21. Estaba a la noche ese segmento de videos de música electrónica. Recuerdo que también pasaban videos de pacha bs as con grandes djs en las bandejas!
Los 90s se despedía alo grande se iba está hermosa década serrando con broche de oro. Que viva por siempre en nuestros recuerdos los 90s maravillosa decada
Dancing Stage/Dance Dance Revolution feature on this video is AWESOME. This was probably a really new arcade machine since it got a release in Europe on March 9th 1999. This single was probably a release prior to the album which was released in September of that same year. The stage looks so new, and the reactions and emotions everyone has on the video is such a great capture. If this video gets remastered, especially if it was shot on film, it would be so cool.
Finally found out the name of this song! It played during the club scene in Hitch but wasn't named on the soundtrack. Did more research and found out the name and group on Thursday
This reminds me of a clear summer day driving through downtown LA on the way to Sunset blvd in my 5.0 back in the day. Also the Deep Dish remix of Wrong was unbelievable.
absolute banger of an opener for a magnificent album... that still gets tons of rotation (literal vinyl rotation!) criminal how they never got greater recognition for the brilliant artistry of their catalogue. byline in the video is incorrect, this song is from Tempermental and not Amplified Heart
The day the Albulm came out, Thats when I new it would be in heavy rotation. The Vinyl on the other hand with all the different versions of some of the songs is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
ESTUVE BUSCÁNDO ESTA CANCIÓN COMO AGUJA EN UN PAJAR . APLIQUÉ EL POCO INGLÉS QUE SÉ Y LA ENCONTRÉ POR PARTE DE LA LETRA. 🇵🇪🇪🇸🤗🎶SALUDOS DESDE BARCELONA.
At 1:27 you see a woman on her phone, or possibly pager. It's like the first person with a smart phone in a presmart phone world. Everyone elses attention is on the enjoyment of the world and that one person is caught up in texting, missing everything going on around them. Almost like a prelude to todays times
Criminally underrated and overlooked band.
raccoonstarsmember and a terrific album. timeless, in my opinion...
And a lot better than most of "music" is coming out today...
Damn straight.
True story. I'm personally obsessed with this duo!
Band?
1999 feels like yesterday. I blasted "Tempermental" my whole Senior year of HS. Not a bad song to be found on that CD. 100% GOLD!
By who?
hey i was born that year

stop listening to the radio, or stop watching MTV, there's actually good music brought by GENZ , Cusps, and Millennials.
what a time to be 20. this was the prime of my life, and the music was amazing.
EBTG music is still played in huge clubs in Montreal Canada, the remixes and originals back to back are awesome, can't stop dancing. This group was always one of my favs
Montreal has taste! Here in the UK, we're losing these back catalogues on the radio and in clubs.
This is crazy cause my parents played EBTG one day and I asked where the heck they heard this and their response was “back in our day at the clubs in Montreal. Unfortunately I was born in Vancouver and we have yet to do a trip to Montreal so I can see it. I bet it’s just as exciting as the song itself. This band from England is phenomenal though! Not like todays music I grew up on its quite unique and different!
omg how bout today? I'm in desperate need of an out of space and time club like that💙
Bought this CD when I went to live in Spain on my own for a year in 2000. Was a real signature CD for me. Its an incredible CD about loneliness with some haunting tunes and lyrics. Great CD
What is the city but the people? What is the city without great music? This one never gets old. Doubtful, we'll see them live again. Nonetheless, Everything But the Girl will remain timeless.
I nearly died when I heard this song in Hitch. Love that scene just because they played EBTG!
Same! I yelled out and people thought I was crazy!
I’m watching Hitch now and made me decide to come back.

I'll never stay at home again on a Saturday - as long as I'm young. This song makes me miss going out so much and feel the night life vibes!! :(

LYRICS:
I walk the city late at night
Does everyone here do the same?
I want to be the things I see
Give every face and place my name
I cross the street, take a right
Pick up the pace, pass a fight
Did I grow up just to stay home?
I'm not immune, I love this tune
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I drag the city late at night
It's in my mouth, it's in my hair
The people fill the city because
The city fills the people, oh yeah
I cross the street avoid the freeze
A city's warmer by a couple of degrees
The smell of food the smell of rain
I'm not immune, I love this tune
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
The only way out is down
The only way up is down
The day's roll by like thunder
Like a storm that's never breaking
All my time and space compressed
In the low pressure of proceedings
And they beat against the sides of my life
Like fist against inside, in my life
And the roads all lead behind me
So I wrap the wheel around me
And I go out
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
I'll take you home and make it easy
(There's a river in my head)
(There's a river in my head)
I'll take you home and make it easy
(There's a river in my head)
Love more
Love more
Love more
Love more
On dear! 1999 was a GOOD year. Brings me back to my memories of my last year of high school back home in Perú. Can’t believe it’s been that long!
Dear Atlantic Records, this amazing song is not from the album “Amplified Heart” from 1994, but from the album “Temperamental” from 1999! Kisses
2020 Did I grow up just to stay home?
I'm not immune - I love this tune! (Still one of my all time favorites) 🥰🥰🥰
Timeless masterpiece
its the bands unique sound that makes them untouchable, even today in 2017. Love them always. Still played in Montreal clubs and people are still on the speakers dancing when it comes on.

(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
[Breakdown]
The only way out is down
The only way up is down
[Bridge]
The days roll by like thunder like a storm that's never breaking
All my time and space compressed in the low pressure of the proceedings
And they beat against the sides of my life, like fists against the sides of my life
And the roads all lead behind me
So I wrap the wheel around me and I go out
[Outro]
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
I'll take you home and make it easy
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
I'll take you home and make it easy
There's a river in my head
Love more, love more
Love more, love more

Album TEMPERAMENTAL (1999)
This song is eternal. And after 2:53 it moves to a different level!
....EBTG were literally on the cusp of the shift in Dance Music (towards the end of 1999), leaving progressive House, & leaning to the Electro / Body & Soul French House sounds of Cassius, Daft Punk, Ananda Project, Bob Sinclar, etc., in the new millenium (2000- onwards) (cont.)
....this # 1 Dance tune kept the balance in the shift, w. the Club 69 "Big Room" remixes, & the Kevin Yost 'Side Room' remixes....then, Ben Watt became a name, with his "Lazy Dog" moniker...THIS, is how a Band updates, and EDUCATES.....
I love this tune... I love this video...I love Soho...I love the Nineties. I do NOT like here and now - can we go home soon, please?
The groove, the words, the images...
It's our sweet and safe place.
But I'm still waiting for the one who tells me she will take me Home and make it easy...
All the young generations needs more EBTG...
Niki& the Dove darling
I’m 22.
I'm 21
Just turned 18
I am 20 and I love EBTG
If only we could back to the late 90s......timeless.
This was one of the first songs I played in Beatmania IIDX 3rd Style back in 2000. Getting used to 7-key play took some time, and I started (and stayed!) on the 2P side since it felt so strange having the turntable on the left. But man, it was so cool seeing actual videos playing vs. the more basic graphics of the 5-key games, and the IIDX arcade machines just looked so amazing. I'll forever associate this song with that game and era of my life.
Hitch...
I never did the research to find out who this group was till today .. Pretty amazing song.. 👍🏿👍🏿
EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL - TEMPERAMENTAL
Everything but the Girl are an English musical duo formed in Kingston upon Hull in 1982, consisting of lead singer, songwriter, composer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, producer and singer Ben Watt. The group's early works have been categorized as sophisti-pop with jazz influences before undergoing an electronic turn following the worldwide success of the 1994 hit single "Missing". The duo have achieved four top 10 and 12 top 40 singles in the UK and have received eight gold and two platinum album BPI certifications in the UK as well as one gold album RIAA certification in the US. Their cover of "I Don't Want to Talk About It" reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1988, a feat later matched by "Missing", which charted high in several countries and reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1995 and spent over seven months on the UK Singles Chart thanks to a popular remix by Todd Terry which led to a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single. Their ninth album Walking Wounded (1996) set a new career best by entering the UK albums chart at No. four, and spawned the top 10 singles "Walking Wounded" and "Wrong". The band went inactive in 2000, with Thorn declaring that she would no longer perform live. Thorn and Watt, who did not publicise their romantic relationship while active, married in 2009, both released solo albums and said it was unlikely Everything but the Girl would be active again. However, in November 2022, Thorn announced an album had been recorded for release in the second quarter of 2023. Fuse, the band's first new material in 24 years, was released on 21 April 2023. The discography of Everything but the Girl consists of eleven studio albums, eight compilation albums, five extended plays, thirty-one singles, and one video album. The band formed in Hull during 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Ben Watt. ♥️💯‼️And I have the great honor of having in my discography eight CD-albums by Everything But The Girl (or EBTG). Because I have three duplicate CD-albums and the other two CD-albums are just one copy of each. So, I have in my discography AMPLIFIED HEART (1994) two copies of this CD-Album. I also have two copies of the CD-Album WALKING WOUNDED (1996). I still have a single copy of the CD-Album, which is a greatest hits, THE BEST OF EBTG (1996). Also a single unit, also on CD-Album, from TEMPERAMENTAL (1999). And, finally, the most recent record work, released on April 21st of this year, the CD-Album, FUSE. Also two copies. Altogether there are eight CD-albums by Everything But The Girl as I mentioned at the beginning of this comment. Honestly, I've loved this duo since I heard the radio version of "I Don't Want To Talk About It". And, in the mid-nineties, when Todd Terry remixed "Missing", it was a huge commercial success worldwide. On their latest studio album, FUSE (2023), the British duo is to be congratulated for the excellent work. It took them a long time to come back, but the new CD-Album was worth the wait. It's very well done. I love the ten songs! It's worth having an album, in my case, in CD format! I know all the previous works of the EBTG. But after "Missing" and AMPLIFIED HEART, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn became huge international stars! I simply adore them! ♥️💯‼️I add these additional words to close my personal comment: as well as having a high regard for this wonderful and very talented British duo, I consider myself a huge fan of them! God bless you and may you continue to work on your songs that I love and that are great artistic records both national and international! Thank you very much for your music! ♥️💯‼️
Temperamental is the tenth studio album by British musical duo Everything but the Girl. It was released on 27 September 1999 by Atlantic Records in the United States and Virgin Records in Europe. By the end of 1999, Temperamental had sold 115,000 copies in the United States, according to Billboard. It sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, and was met with success in the dance market. "The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)" (US Dance No. 1, UK No. 31), "Five Fathoms" (US Dance No. 1, No. UK No. 27), "Blame", "Temperamental" (US Dance No. 1, UK No. 72) and "Lullaby of Clubland" (US Dance No. 3) were released as singles. Temperamental was reissued by Edsel Records as a two-disc deluxe set on 4 September 2015. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt recorded Temperamental in the immediate period following the birth of their twin daughters in 1998. Due to Thorn's preoccupation with motherhood, her level of involvement in the creation of the album was scaled back, with Watt taking on a more prominent role in writing lyrics and music. Thorn recorded most of her vocals during late-night studio sessions, after the twins had gone to sleep. In her autobiography Bedsit Disco Queen (2013), she remarked that "in a sense, [she] ended up being guest vocalist on someone else's album". It has also been claimed that much of the material also deals with the duo's feelings towards that fame they had attained, following the success of Todd Terry’s remix of their 1994 track, "Missing" and the achievements of their previous album Walking Wounded. According to Pitchfork's Laura Snapes, tracks like the final song “The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)” deal with, "pessimistic lyrics [that] spoke of alienation not just from other people, but from any sense of the past or the future." According to AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Temperamental was a continuation of the musical direction pursued by Everything but the Girl on their previous album Walking Wounded (1996), merging electronica with elements of folk, jazz and pop. He described the musical style of Temperamental as a minor refinement of that of Walking Wounded, eschewing its drum and bass and trip hop influences in favour of a more house-driven sound. Salon writer Amanda Nowinski wrote that Temperamental retained drum and bass breakbeats but was mostly informed by "old-school" garage house, while NME characterised the album as "a left-turn into deep house ambience and trip-hop grooves" that is "punctuated by vulnerable lyrics and vocal performances" from Tracey Thorn. Michael White of The Quietus viewed it as "an aesthetic continuation of [Walking Wounded], synthesizing the most recent developments of clubland with the duo's intrinsic song-based approach". Ben Watt incorporated production techniques that he had learned from his three years as a resident DJ at Bar Rumba and Notting Hill Arts Club into the album's songs, including cross-fading, back spinning, and filtering. This reliance on dance music is notable on the album's first single, "The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)", that features Deep Dish and is composed upon a sample of the band's 1996 single "Stay Gold". Stephen Thomas Erlewine observed that the songs on Temperamental "are essentially in the singer/songwriter vein" and described the album as a whole as "more of a meditative, reflective piece", while also observing a relative lack of pop hooks compared to Walking Wounded. Michael White noted the contrast between the "swaggering urban rhythms" of the music and the deeply introspective nature of the lyrics. "It's not as poppy as Walking Wounded," Tracey Thorn would later remark, while attributing the album's darker and less accessible nature to the circumstances surrounding its creation: "It's like going back to Amplified Heart: you can tell it's made by people who are in a stage of turmoil and change again." Thorn, composing lyrics for Temperamental, found herself unable to articulate her feelings about motherhood and other significant changes occurring in her life at the time, and as a result she instead opted to write from a non-autobiographical standpoint.

[Verse 1]
Walk the city late at night
Does everyone here do the same?
I want to be the things I see
Give every face and place my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I cross the street, take a right
Pick up the pace, pass a fight
Did I grow up just to stay home?
I'm not immune, I love this tune
[Chorus]
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
I wanna love more
I just wanna love more
[Verse 2]
I drag the city late at night
It's in my mouth, it's in my hair
The people fill the city because the city fills the people, oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I cross the street, avoid the freeze
A city's warmer by a couple degrees
The smell of food, The smell of rain
I'm not immune, I love this tune
[Chorus]
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
I just wanna love more
(There's a river in my head)
[Breakdown]
The only way out is down
The only way up is down
[Bridge]
The days roll by like thunder like a storm that's never breaking
All my time and space compressed in the low pressure of the proceedings
And they beat against the sides of my life, like fists against the sides of my life
And the roads all lead behind me
So I wrap the wheel around me and I go out
[Outro]
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
I'll take you home and make it easy
There's a river in my head
There's a river in my head
I'll take you home and make it easy
There's a river in my head
Love more, love more
Love more, love more

Album TEMPERAMENTAL (1999)
God the nostalgia, going out playing DDR back in the day like that. Great track.
Also, awesome to see this song end up in Beatmania IIDX 3rd Style (the next gen Beatmania iteration the guy was playing at 2:15)
One of the best dance albums of my youth. Thank you for the tremendous memories!

This is house…. Historic song
One of the most ICONICs Band ever!
London has changed sooooo much!! It used to be alive and pumping back then and now its changed! So sad to see the difference. Im glad I enjoyed myself falling over on a sunday morning!
Hasn’t it just, different city now
Love this version!!
This tune so underated then and know
I remember going to Tokyo in 1999 and finding out what DDR was, there were people lined up around the block wanting to play it, what an amazing phenomenon.
It was such a wholesome moment, and you are lucky you've witnessed its absolute fresh peak then. I found original cabinets during my last visit a few months ago and was so happy to play on the originals!
This song was featured in the movie Hitch. The scene where Will Smith AKA Hitch meets Eva Mendes for the first time. Cool dance song.
It was also the song heard at the end of Charmed season 2 ep 12.
London and soho in the 90s - nostalgia overload
Essential electronic-era Ben Watt:
Walking Wounded (Drum + Bass, House, Breakbeat, Downtempo)
Temperamental (Deep House, downtempo)
Lazy Dog Vol. 1 and 2 (Deep House, Brit House)
Buzzin' Fly recordings (See above)
I want all of these, preferably on vinyl if they exist. So incredibly good
Recuerdo haber escuchado esta joya de canción del grupo EBTG en un canal de cable el ya desaparecido MUSIC21 gracias a ese canal conosi buenos grupos que se volvieron mi adicción que tiempos por Dios cuando todavía se podía apreciar la buena música
Disculpa la ignorancia, que es EBTG ???
Recuerdo que era el canal electrónica.tv, que estaba dentro de music 21.
Estaba a la noche ese segmento de videos de música electrónica. Recuerdo que también pasaban videos de pacha bs as con grandes djs en las bandejas!
Último mes de 2024 y seguimos con la buena música. Aún se puede terminar bien el año. Tengan una feliz navidad!!!
Que hermoso! Todo con el tema de Dance Dance Revolution(DDR) I m player DDR 🙋♀️💗 greetings from Perú
Los 90s se despedía alo grande se iba está hermosa década serrando con broche de oro. Que viva por siempre en nuestros recuerdos los 90s maravillosa decada
Fuimos afortunados los que pudimos estar ahi. Despues llegó la decadencia y el culto a la estupidez.
Que temazos , los de esta y otras bandas similares !!!! Extraño los 90’ !!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Charmed sent me here 🦋
Absolutely love this track
Dancing Stage/Dance Dance Revolution feature on this video is AWESOME. This was probably a really new arcade machine since it got a release in Europe on March 9th 1999. This single was probably a release prior to the album which was released in September of that same year. The stage looks so new, and the reactions and emotions everyone has on the video is such a great capture. If this video gets remastered, especially if it was shot on film, it would be so cool.
Finally found out the name of this song! It played during the club scene in Hitch but wasn't named on the soundtrack. Did more research and found out the name and group on Thursday
Good Morning Cubs
back when it was ok to have fun ugh this generation ugh 🙄
A shame this only has 332,000 views. Should be 33,200,000 views.
nine months later 414k
her appearance is so cool in itself
Temperamental was the last record I bought in the 20th Century
I walk the city late at night
A ICONIC DANCE CLASSIC REMIX - HERE IN NEW YORK CITY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This reminds me of a clear summer day driving through downtown LA on the way to Sunset blvd in my 5.0 back in the day. Also the Deep Dish remix of Wrong was unbelievable.
still after all these years i feel like dancing when i hear them, love it.
The only way up is down....
absolute banger of an opener for a magnificent album... that still gets tons of rotation (literal vinyl rotation!) criminal how they never got greater recognition for the brilliant artistry of their catalogue.
byline in the video is incorrect, this song is from Tempermental and not Amplified Heart
ES UNA LASTIMA QUE YA NO ESTEN JUNTOS Y SEGUIR DELEITANDO CON SU MÚSICA 😔
Разбежались? Почему...
Ya regresaron apenas amigo✌️
Esta si es musica!!!! Me encanta su voz
I'm here now thank you universe for the gifts and for the incoming gifts
que bien suena aparte todo el vídeo es la noche nocturna de Londres tiene buen ritmo saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷🙏 bendiciones
what a duo... And I remember the days of "Eden". wow... those were the times of beauty
HOLY SHIT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG SICNE I SAW IT IN HITCH IN 2005 AND I FUCKING FINALLY FOUND IT
Everytime I get off work, I put this song on as I'm walking the through the city and waiting at the bus stop.
I'm giving you a like now because I hope you still do it, ten years later.
@@zimzimzalabim Still doing it, but in a different city!
I became a fan when "Missing" was playing in the radio way back when. I'm obsessed!
1999 i feel nostalgic, like crying. I love the band.
I hear you. Ohhh, do I hear you...
Great song💜
Old School Bemani
Bro this shit hits don’t care what nobody say
This song mostly appeals to melancholics, people like me who enjoy long spells of solitude.
So awesome. Still life affirming in 2023!
The day the Albulm came out, Thats when I new it would be in heavy rotation. The Vinyl on the other hand with all the different versions of some of the songs is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
RIP Queen Elizabeth, God save the King
One of the best albums ever. Not one bad song
Let’s go back and live life with that enthusiasm.
This album turns twenty years old this year.
Real summer tune.
True
This is a treasure to my heart and soul. I wish I could dream that I'm playing DDR with Tracey Thorn and never wake up.
Tracey I absofuckinlutely love your voice.
I love this song definitely one of my favourites of all time. I really wish EBTG would reunite
ESTUVE BUSCÁNDO ESTA CANCIÓN COMO AGUJA EN UN PAJAR . APLIQUÉ EL POCO INGLÉS QUE SÉ Y LA ENCONTRÉ POR PARTE DE LA LETRA. 🇵🇪🇪🇸🤗🎶SALUDOS DESDE BARCELONA.
Great song, but I prefer the full length album version!
At 1:27 you see a woman on her phone, or possibly pager. It's like the first person with a smart phone in a presmart phone world. Everyone elses attention is on the enjoyment of the world and that one person is caught up in texting, missing everything going on around them. Almost like a prelude to todays times
Uma das musicas q toca no filme Hitch - Conselheiro amoroso. ❤️
One of my best discoveries when i found the album b4 this one and i was hooked abs then this album came and I've been hooked on this song 4ever. EBTG
Grande Tracey Thorn, si hubiera este video remasterizado en 2022 seria espectacular!!! La vida bohemia!!!
This makes me miss Chicago and Detroit
Every tune they did is cool.
Discovered this track on a movie called Hitch
2024 & WE ARE HERE ❤ 🎧😎
