This was popular on the radio while my dad was dying in the hospice it became my anthem off his illness as "i'd rather be anywhere else than here". Been over a decade dad and i still feel as raw as if it were yesterday when i hear this love and miss you
Hi, I hope and wish that the time frame is shorter for you experiencing the rawness even if the intensive elements are still there for you when hearing this tune. I feel you.
Big respect to you...I lost my mum to cancer in 2015 diagnosed out of the blue and terminal 4 days after the birth of my daughter...songs still resonate the beatles in my life was her song for me...i get so angry when I hear that scientists have put a little car on mars that can detect water or the hubble space telescope 2 is nearly ready...costing billions...how much money have cancer research worldwide received in the last 200 years...wonder where that money goes hmmm ! CURE BLOODY CANCER WE DONT CARE ABOUT WATER ON MARS !
Listening to this song really helped me when I suffered with depression. I used too just sort of replay the song in my head in the bad times and felt better. Seems silly I know but for me at the time it was a real help. I would love too tell the band one day how much they helped me. I am better now and living life. Thank you Razorlight.
@@saltyscoundrel4368 I was doing ok but not so much now. Currently homeless and sofa surfing while trying too hold down a full time job. Thank you for your kind words though. They cost nothing and are worth so much.
This song has been basically the soundtrack to my life lol. I'm extremely anti social and this song has came into my head 10s of thousands of times cus it's so applicable.
Hope you done it man and no matter what the outcome I hope you felt good giving it a try , I know the feeling on both ends giving it a try regardless of outcome feels great
@@christophergallagher3845 Thanks for the support, and yeah I know what you mean only live with the regret saying what if if you don't let people know how you feel! Better to live life knowing you tried than thinking what if!
@@nnniiiaaallllll I met a girl from Cyprus in my city once and although I say I don't have regrets I kinda wish I would've tried my best with her instead of letting her drift away , when I saw your comment I knew what you were saying brother
I was the same, I went to see them at victorious festival this summer thinking I know 2 or 3 of their songs and ended up singing three quarters of their set. Brilliant live band too
I just saw them live, amazing performance, my past self can't believe that i managed to see them live after all those years! His voice and their performance in general was amazing!
I saw them last night, loved them.from their first album, great band, Johnny is an incredible lyricist, artist, musician, glad I could finally get to see them. Hope they continue to make more unique music
This video is amazing! I love the black & white, and Johnny's look with the European outfit attitude. He reminds me of the men in France and England and how they dressed... so different from the men in the USA that dressed like Charlie Chaplin or plumbers
I was in charge of a funeral for a soldier, who died in Afghanistan in 2009 and this was the song that was played as his coffin left the church, RIP Johno
The lead singer Johnny Borrell once called himself "greatest songwriter of our generation: better than Dylan" 'I met a girl. She asked me my name. I told her what it was.' Takes some pure talent to write those quality lyrics ;)
I loved this band & Johnny singing & at that time i was about 50yrs old & felt pretty odd fancying the pants off skinny white boy Johnny B... Still like Razorlights music even now! Respect & Peace 🇬🇧👧
Razor light the bends is not only a picturesque description of where it all started but no coincidence for brains like mine to see sharp sunlight piercing through as I approach the surface too quickly (ocean creatures venturing to land to make sounds) but the best two albums of the last thirty years. The designer drugs revolution. My humble opinion
Always liked the band a lot but this tune I didn't hear until a couple of days ago and I cant stop listening to it and I wish I could be somewhere else too!!!!
Right on my Spotify playlist and I'd forgotten how was like this video. Glad to seen him. Such a great voice. Maybe he finally got a shower. Not judging just saying. But these old songs really bring back sad thoughts i had while being a teenager and dealing with depression. And listening again it on these pandemic really brings back the depression part. But hey we got to keep living.
I remember being away from home with the army, my Mrs had some lovey song as our tune picked out with some lyrics about missing me and stuff. When I told her this was my theme for being in a desert shitehole she took it as me being a bit selfish. Ha great track about being somewhere you'd rather not be.
Having not seen the video I read your comment with scepticism (I've read many a comment where someone has declared someone else a celebrity lookalike even if they look nothing like the celebrity in question), but honestly you're not wrong, the guy does have something of a resemblance to Noel Fielding.
When i saw you there it was the first time, And you just walked on by, I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels, Trying to catch your eye. Genius songwriting :)
Sorry to hear that my daughter was dying of cancer and it was a significant song for us too
This was popular on the radio while my dad was dying in the hospice it became my anthem off his illness as "i'd rather be anywhere else than here". Been over a decade dad and i still feel as raw as if it were yesterday when i hear this love and miss you
mwolvo sorry about ur Pop...I lost mine in 2015 and some days it feels like he passed yesterday and some days it feels like it's been decades

@DillyDyson007 absolutely agree
kind of upbeat for a parent dying song lol!
Up all night, one of my top 5 albums of all time

A get what u mean .100%x
That's not silly whatsoever, it's nice to have something to relate to when you're in a bad place. I hope you're doing well these days!

You have got this friend l dug myself out of depression you have got this much love to you 😊

Dude. I used to fucking love Razorlight. Golden touch was sick as well
nice one, Bro
Such an underrated tune... struggling with depression and this has given me the confidence to meet with this girl I like. Bless you Johnny
go on lad
Hope it worked out for you
Hope you done it man and no matter what the outcome I hope you felt good giving it a try , I know the feeling on both ends giving it a try regardless of outcome feels great

A very underrated, excellent band.
Beautiful vocal range. I love it.
When people say that America or In the Morning was there best song's.
They completely forget about this and golden touch.
I am one of those people. Completely forgot about this classic.
@@gambogamboni Easy mistake to make. Just as long has you don't think wonderwall was Oasis's best song 😂😂
I was the same, I went to see them at victorious festival this summer thinking I know 2 or 3 of their songs and ended up singing three quarters of their set. Brilliant live band too
in the morning is kind of shit. America is good and Golden touch is their best
And wire to wire!
I just saw them live, amazing performance, my past self can't believe that i managed to see them live after all those years! His voice and their performance in general was amazing!
I saw them last night, loved them.from their first album, great band, Johnny is an incredible lyricist, artist, musician, glad I could finally get to see them. Hope they continue to make more unique music
Listening to old tunes to get through covid 19 nightmare .......thanks for the memory x
sarah taylor Yes!!
Same 🙋
Yup!
I'm so thankful of my dad playing these on the guitar to me when I grew up! Great band 😁😁
and it still does m8
I legitimately hate how underrated Razorlight are.
Agreement here.
Same as the kings of leon
Amazing. One of the biggest indie bands of the mid-noughties, and probably the biggest one to fall and completely disappear.
Hey Johnny for,ed zazou
limecat1986 They are still playing gigs and still have a good loyal following.
limecat1986 yes they did, and its rather strange
Marc Walker , I think the drummer Andy, became a solo artist, loved these guys back in the day,
Michael Mccarron , I was mate yeah, Hampshire, Think he's posh lol
this band is forever etched in my memory, I had the best times of my life with these in the background
This video is amazing! I love the black & white, and Johnny's look with the European outfit attitude. He reminds me of the men in France and England and how they dressed... so different from the men in the USA that dressed like Charlie Chaplin or plumbers
This song is one that could never fade over time, its energy and impact will go on forever and as long as we need it, which is forever.
I love this song it takes me back from years ago ❤️
I was in charge of a funeral for a soldier, who died in Afghanistan in 2009 and this was the song that was played as his coffin left the church, RIP Johno
Love this man’s voice.
Catching the sparks that flew from your heels...proof of good lyrics.
This is where a guy got this chat up line when he finally spoke to me and I ignored him , well I didnt know him at the time
What an underrated band
Acabo de descubrir esta banda. Me encantó esta canción, america, golden touch in the morning. en las presentaciones en vivo están espectaculares
How are u only finding these guys it's a good time to a suppose as they have just released a new track so lucky u lol
This song should have millions more views.
Just the best - saw them in Dublin this year - absolutely brilliant ❤️🔥
I remember seeing these in Cornwall when I was 7 (10 years ago). It was the first band I ever saw live
That's mad! would've killed to have been there
+NoahNME Cool Story bro...
+PatchBrennan dont be a douche
Does this mean you were 17 when you wrote this and you're 19 now? Quick maths.
NoahNME bet you you was lively ha ha 😏
one of the best songs of all time
Haven't listened to this in ages. I love it
Going to see these in concert in Nottingham in January! So looking forward to that!
Brilliant band well underrated !
"I met a girl, she asked me her name, I told her what it was". Greatest lyric ever.
those lyrics could have easily been shit in a different song tbh but that part of this song is great
I met a girl. She asked me my name..?
But thats not the lyrics lool
I just don't get it
Gonaget a bus
The lead singer Johnny Borrell once called himself "greatest songwriter of our generation: better than Dylan"
'I met a girl. She asked me my name. I told her what it was.'
Takes some pure talent to write those quality lyrics ;)
Ha ha ! 🤣
Lmaooo I won't agree with him there but it's a pretty good song!
It's like Lennon and McCartney
"I met a symphony of breezes. They asked me my diseases. I told them my friend, my name ain't Jesus."
Turned it into Bob Dylan lyrics, Took 3 seconds.
That's why Keane based Frog Prince on him. 😉😏
I just can't stop replaying!
"And I met a girl, she asked me my name. I told her what it was." You just don't get lyrics this deep anymore.
it is deep - weirdly - deep by not trying to be deep
What a great composing to a gorgeous culmination! Love it
This music got me through being 15 and back to it now getting me through 33
I feel this comment ❤
absolutely love, love love this! Takes you to a different place!....
Lynpops And a different time!
meet them by 2005at live 8....and what a band they are!
Watched them last night in Birmingham still great!
I loved this band & Johnny singing & at that time i was about 50yrs old
& felt pretty odd fancying the pants off skinny white boy Johnny B...
Still like Razorlights music even now!
Respect & Peace
🇬🇧👧
The anthem of my youth ❤
Reminds me of a camping trip I went on in 2006!!!! Sitting up till hal past five drinking Budweiser!!! Happy Daze!!!
I remember them days too mate. Legendary trip.
I absolutely love this track

Takes me back to my late teens, partying with my big brother who sadly passed away... Happy memories...
Sorry for your loss.
Still doing the festivals, great band
Heard this in the ASDA today and was like no wayyyyy not heard it for literally like 5 years good song though and good band
Listen again after 9 years 😁
@@private_joy Wow. 9 Years. Damn. Still a good song though :D
Such a great band!
Sometimes I wish I could be somewhere else. I listen to this song at highest volume.
2021 anyone? i remember when this was first released and it sounds even better now!
was going to write something like you did.
this is just timeless and classic,
can’t understand how anyone couldn’t like this!
Awesome chune! Love it, never gets old ❤️
This song brings back so many memories down King's Cross many years ago. Northumberland Arms from this video was a great boozer 🍻
12-12 1980, Born on this day, Carl Dalemo, bass, Razorlight, (2005, UK No.2 single ‘Somewhere Else’, 2006 UK No.1 album ‘Razorlight’).
Ai manda bem!!! Uma das melhores do indie rock!!!
🖤 still one of my favourite songs x
Johnny some more tunes please
gorgeous Johnny xx
Always liked the band a lot but this tune I didn't hear until a couple of days ago and I cant
stop listening to it and I wish I could be somewhere else too!!!!
and i wont forget
They filmed this song in my uncle’s corner shop. It’s now a Tesco express now 😢
Love this song
@Manuel Bakeler who r u
Banging song
Real unique raw music
OMG! I love him He´s so cute
Not as cute as you
@@tinman8311 smoooooooth operator
You could never love Johnny Borrell as much as Johnny Borrell loves Johnny Borrell.
Yes he was gorgeous!
I used yo br crazy about gorgeous Johnny
Right on my Spotify playlist and I'd forgotten how was like this video. Glad to seen him. Such a great voice. Maybe he finally got a shower. Not judging just saying. But these old songs really bring back sad thoughts i had while being a teenager and dealing with depression. And listening again it on these pandemic really brings back the depression part.

Love Razorlight! Lead singer has to be a massive Geldof fan
Just saw them last night at the O2, they have not lost it at all.
Stuck in the house for weeks now. Really wish I could be somewhere else
Coolest thing ever back in 2005
Really really really wish i could be somewhere back then than here !
saw these tonight at carfest, were suprisingly amazing!
Cracking tune great tempo
Love Razorlight .
Love Johnny ❤
Que ermosa canción, quiero q esa canción suene en mi funeral
i dont care how shite the lyrics are, this song is fucking brilliant, a classic from my childhood and one i'll always love....
Agreed, the lyrics are piss poor but a great tune and the singer has a presence and charisma about him.
@@retsoptihs0 He was a cocky little bastard, but pretty endearing. I still listen now, so he had something going for him
Love the lyrics lol that's what attracted me, somewhere else you never felt it
sounds like you knew more about music as a kid. Before you became a pretentious lyric lover 😆
Theres fuck all wrong with the lyrics apart from i met a girl and asked her name part
1:16 ah the fun you can have with a painted backdrop
" I met a girl, she asked me my name.... I told her what it was "
Lyrically genius!
J N Georges 😂😂😂
Sonia
I would like to thank my sis for introducing me to this band
Good to see them supporting James at O2 a couple of weeks ago
Awesome song. 16 , great , 32 , great !
I can totally relate cause I just lost my aunt and grandma within a year and wish I could be some where else..
Wow awesome song! a true indie clasic
I remember being away from home with the army, my Mrs had some lovey song as our tune picked out with some lyrics about missing me and stuff. When I told her this was my theme for being in a desert shitehole she took it as me being a bit selfish. Ha great track about being somewhere you'd rather not be.
Feeling nostalgic
Best band ever
looking forward to seeing these with the Kaiser Chiefs in Nottingham in January!
Why has Razorlight only got 31.8K Subscribers??
Love this song.....
i dont know why im here, dumb lyrics aside, there's just something about this track, i love it and always will.....
Absolute gem
Noel Fielding on the bench at 1:16 (yes I know it's not him, sure as shit looks like him. Same weird pointy face)
Mr Pombal always thought that myself 👍
Having not seen the video I read your comment with scepticism (I've read many a comment where someone has declared someone else a celebrity lookalike even if they look nothing like the celebrity in question), but honestly you're not wrong, the guy does have something of a resemblance to Noel Fielding.
Yes! 2019
Absolutely irresistible...Love U, love your voice, love Johnny.
Track is so great
Love them ❤
Seriously underrated you guys are great.
i remember singing this on singstar rocks or something like that :D
Reading all the comments, love this tune,touched slot of people
Where the hell did they go? Great song, this one...
Somewhere else ;)
+balfemotor haha
WTG BABE YOU TELL THEM. THIS TUNE IS AWESOME!
I love you razor light!
When i saw you there it was the first time,
And you just walked on by,
I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels,
Trying to catch your eye.
Genius songwriting :)
