Im 17 and all i can say is that this music from the 90s is amazing. The shit today is so bad. Wish i grew up in a more simpler and fun time with good music and good times :/
Girl I fancied at a BBQ party was telling me about how much she loved this band, how they were timeless. It didn’t go anywhere with her, and I can’t remember her anymore as that was 15 odd years ago. But I still remember Inspiral Carpets, so she will always have my thanks.
I am from Moscow, and d like to say that I grew up listening to the inspiring, great British rock music of the 20th century( mainly progressive and psychodelic rock) . Without it my life would so poor. Some of the most significant days in my life were when i visited Roger Waters’s and Deep Purple concerts , when they were here in Moscow. This music can equally praise up to the sky and destruct us and that’s why it has always been so breathtaking. Thank you Great Britain for your culture, for your style, for your music and for dreamy, talented boys from your industrial cities , who had been creating some of the most beautiful non material heritage of our world
sorry to hear that. If you have a hard time remembering bands, please listen to my playlist. I have been collecting songs for years that I grew up listening to. It's a list of 80s and 90s alternative. Hope you enjoy. I have a lot of them! ruclips.net/p/PLA6FE64F76AB88C95
Said goodbye to my childhood friend today. Rest easy Kev, this jam always reminds me of you. You were a trail blazer in 1990 and you showed the way. God bless mate 🙏 rest easy pal. Will miss ya.
As a Chinese kid growing up infatuated with Manchester music, being on Craig's tour in the summer of 2016 was the best day of my life. I had no idea you were suffering. May you find peace and good music in heaven.
I had the pleasure of working with Tom Hingley last night and he’s still got the voice and the Madchester attitude. It was an honour to share the stage with him.
RIP Craig Gill. What a talented bunch of guys that were way ahead of there time. This is one of those songs that can mean so much to so many people in so many different ways. Thanks for the memories guys 🤘
@@boogieboy1974 no Craig was the drummer. Apparently he struggled with tinnitus for couple of decades, it caused sleep deprivation,anxiety and in the end he couldn't deal with it anymore. Or That's what I read at the time. Sad state of affairs, the guy had wife and kids. Terrible for all concerned
"Husband dont know what he's done Kids don't know what's wrong with mum She can't say they can't see Putting it down to another bad day." Holy shit that's a great lyric about dysfunctional family life.
As a child looking at those who are supposed to listen or protect. This record brings so much back of a shit childhood. I am happy now and life can change for the better. Meeting the right one helps tremendously, I lucky 33 years with the one I love, thanks Inspiral Carpets
That is SO Beautiful & Truely Extra Blessed to have had that True Friendship & Companionship Thru Life’s Journey. Is Also Marvellous that You Embrace & Not Take for Granted as I’ve experienced the opposite thru life’s journey, now 55 & lived most my adulthood by myself. It’s so refreshing to hear a person positively acknowledge their partner. God Bless & Wishing you & yours Only Future Peace, Love & Happiness 💕❤️💕
I'm now 51 years of age and loved this song when it first came out. When ever "This Is How It Feels" is played on the radio with it's dark melodys with a happy beat keeps going around my head for the rest of the day. It's with out doubt a one off quality tune that could ever be repeated..Pure fucking class to the Inspiral Carpets :) :) :)
As I approach 50 years on this planet the things I wish I'd believed when I was younger are :- 1. Youth is wasted on the young! 2. You'll never be happier than you were when you were a school kid. 3. Life is short. 4. You can create your own future! 5. Live every day as if it were your last. 6. Money is temporary. You can't take it with you. They're all true kids! I doubt I'll see a 51st year!
As an American I was fortunately introduced to the Inspirals and the Manchester scene by an incredible Toronto music station (cfny). Sad to hear of the passing. Along with the Charlatans, might be one of the better and certainly least appreciated bands ever here in the U.S. RIP and prayers to the family, friends and fans.
The music is what I grew up listening to some, like joy division a little early for me ,but love them ,then new order definitely my era. Glad you had the radio station,great memories.!
Oh yes, CFNY. Probably the reason for my eclectic taste in music.Grew up listening to CFNY 30 some years ago. Been in Vancouver since my early 20's, so thanks for the memory!!!!!!
Words cannot describe what is song meant to me and how much consolation it brought to me as a young man and how great it was back in those days. I need a new inSpiral Carpets but there are none . if I didn't have God now I would probably die of depression.
So ahead of it's time lyrically, no one spoke of mental health back then, brave and brilliant, so touching, with syd barrett floyd era overtones, great to be 25 when this came out a true classic
@@benalowery They play the unedited second verse on my favourite radio station these days, glad I was introduced to the true version. It hits so much harder.

I had no concept of what they were singing about when I first heard this as a teenager. Many years later I get it. I get it on so many levels as someone who has lost far to many family and friends to depression. Thank you boys for being ahead of the curve and making it sound great!
its not for you, its for men ! women have no idea what lonliness feels like ! your privelidge is faaaarrrr tooo high, you guys get like 1000 offers every week, you will have no idea what its like to spend decades alone possibly forever alone, with noone !
@@mcpartridgeboy Are you a woman? No? then you don't know what you're talking about. Also if you listen to the lyrics it's clearly for both women AND men.
i see you don't listen to music, you feel the music, don't you? you wouldn't be an empath too? Ditto, here. happy people listen to music for the beats to dance to, those with empathy just want something to help them control their feelings. those with major depression listen to the lyrics cause they can relate to the lyrics. 🎶☮️🎶 j in southern Japan from my wife's RUclips with her permission of course.
Always got me this song, the lyrics, the drumming and the melancholy of the bass...and the video itself...still own the 12" record, what can I say an absolutely amazing song
These bands don't realise how many lives they save with their music. Depression does not discriminate it will go after all walks of society, anyone suffering plz speak to someone, anyone
@@MephProduction Music can heal. I've worked in care homes over the years and have been amazed by the change in damaged people - all through the power of MUSIC. Open your mind.
rip graig gill ...ended his life because the torture of tinnitus in his ears and mental health .. the drummer and founder of this great band ..great era glad i was part of it
I don't know if it is coincidence but I started to develop tinnitus in my late 30s, despite never listening to things on 'loud', I thought I would just have to live with it. However, at the age of 39, last year, I decide to quit alcohol (I've been a bit of a heavy boozer, probably a 'normal' level for a northern bloke) and in the past year my tinnitus has slowly but surely subsided. As I say, it may be coincidence, but it has almost completely gone away now. They do say high blood pressure can be a contributing factor to tinnitus and heavy boozing is a contributing factor to high blood pressure. It might be worth exploring (of course, that is if you are a drinker to start with!).
This song reminds me of my youth, getting into the wrong crowd, getting caught up with a massive cocaine addiction, fucking everything up that I touched, realising my mistakes, sorting my shit out, and getting clean. God bless.
This is how it feels to be lonely.... This is how feels to be small... Feeling lonely and listening to 80s and 90s music in the era of Covid 19....thank god for the power of music!
RIP Craig Gill I know what its like to have that screeching all the time and Ive battled depression most of my life. This song always pulled me round and kicked me up the arse! Keep playing tunes for the angels dood! One of the greatest songs of all time!
Top bloke, I cant put into words how much a few hours in a bus means to me and my mates.He was a true legend so young to have dedicated his life to music. Fantastic gent who will always be remembered. RIP Craig, thank you.
I don't comment often but this has gutted me. We're the same age, and I saw these guys many many times in the day. He was just 17 when they made this~ what a talent. Missed.
Unbelievably good - one of the all-time greats. Great lyrics, great music, great melodies - depth and sentiment. Gets you every time. My favourite Madchester song - I used to work in a bottle shop in Hale and serve Tony Wilson and partner every week; never offered any free tickets!!
RIP Craig Gill, inspiral carpets the first band I ever seen live in 91 when I was 14 remember meeting the band signing records and t shirts top bloke's, fond memories RIP Craig
Wow, it seems that I'm not the only one here... It was the first song of the first concert I went to, a long long time ago when I was 16 or 17. Now I'm 42 and still listening to it...
Hello 👋 to everyone who may read this. I was four years old in the US in 1990, so I got into this music and Madchester much later. I think I'm still drawn to late 80s and 90s alternative music because its sounds are the soundtrack to my younger days, like so many people in the comments. Guitar music ruled the world then! Part of me knows that there are still kids, even now, in garages playing with their friends and writing songs that will go all over the world one day. I'm glad we can come to a "place" like RUclips and share our appreciation for great music, no matter where we're located or how old we are!
I'm 48, saw these at the boardwalk in Manchester in 1987 aged 17 - still remember it. We used to go 3-4 times a week from Oldham in my mates dad's car, saw hundreds of manc bands but this one sticks in my mind.
Just love this song and the carpets, I'm from liverpool and between both cities we've produced some of the greatest musicians in history..happy days man
@@lucabrasi3964 this is an English band so English is correct, the rest of the Isles never associate with Britain when they create something so why should the English be any different
I'm from Manchester and there's so many Manc songs that evoke emotion, but none quite as much as this does, brings a tear to my eye every time for so many reasons... Snake Pass.
Jokes aside, one of the best songs I came across in my childhood - good to see Tom Hingley still out there performing. I don't believe the now generation realize and appreciate just how talented and popular Inspiral Carpets were.
saw Tom perform this tonight and bought back so many memories. I was about to end it all when this song came on my car stereo. This song is the reason I am still here today. Thank you for this song and giving me a reason to live when everything else had fallen apart 😢😢❤
@@petertr2000 doing the best I can, still here and still listening to this on a regular basis. 2020 hasn't been a good year all round but I keep going. Thank you for asking 🤗
Hailing from South Yorkshire this hurts a little bit...but...here goes... . Manchester is the centre of the music universe...I love The Fall, Buzzcocks, Stone Roses. Magazine, Inspirals etc etc etc … Manchester is and always has been where it's at... end of debate
Sheffield has produced some right talent too, Pulp, longpigs, reverend and the makers, arctic monkeys, human league, babybird, and there’s so much up and coming talent in Sheffield , check out, Landmark, the Sherlocks, the rosadocs, the Reytons
Wow. The memories. The Madchester Scene, the burgeoning rave scene. All the great bands of that time. There was something in the air, it was bristling. Incredible. I had this in my sony-walkman and just let the whole (great) album play (good old 'autoreverse' :). What happened to music guys? WHAT HAPPENED? The shit of today cant hold a CANDLE to the good vibe we had then.
Time moves on my friend. I personally loved the seventies but I'm older than you. Each generation remembers fondly the music of their youth. Doesn't make it the best though. We all had a good 'vibe' as you call it in our day.
So sad to hear of Gilly passing away. 44, too young, so sad. Heart and prayers go out to his family friends and everyone who was touched by him and his music.
I moved to a new town during my Jr high school days and I listened to Inspiral Carpets, Lightning Seeds, Stone Roses, The Ocean Blue, etc to help with the change. Still listening damn over 30 years later!
I struggled a bit when i was a kid and hearing this song certainly struck a chord at the time. Always loved the Inspirals. Joe and Dragging Me Down are still belters.
@@paulmcleod1469 fair play to you mate, hopefully it will get easier for you. Anxiety is something I've had most of my life also but has gotten a better with age. Half the time I'm too knackered to be arsed with it these days.
I suffer from cerebral atrophy and my memory can be bad at times but this song reminds me of bucket hats,flares and misadventure,happy days,bring it back.
This is literally my theme tune to 2022. This year makes no sense to me. I lived for 50 years before this nonsense and I have no idea what happened. Thank you so much for making this song. My world means nothing at all at times, but this song just keeps me going. Mr Hingley, you're a f*cking legend, my darling. Please come to Leicester some time? I really would like the opportunity to fan girl on you proper xXx
American bands could never produce music such as this, they never understand the pain in a working class home with no money, rainy cold and miserable outdoors All these guys and guys like them had was a dream and the know how to express their lives in the estates
Do you think all of the USA is warm and tropical?! I am from Manchester too but I know enough about the US to know that the majority of it has vastly worse winters than we do. Super cold winters with sub zeros and snow. Also, a large part of the US suffered the working class break down that Manchester suffered in the 80s. The 'Rust belt'. It has as much depression as Manchester.
I was born when this song came out. I remember being like 4 or 5 in the house, mum dad playing this on vinyl, Tune for family I think was B Side. But in the house they also had on like Stone Roses, Charltans, happy Mondays and James. Songs stay with you forever and never be tied to one genre, be open to all music.
This underrated masterpiece of a song deserves at least 100M views
Deserves a Bill
Christ - 1990 doesn't feel that far away from 2020. Enjoy your lives kids, time flies.
So so true .......
LOL.....real
My era loved this song. Monday's Rose's charlatans northside etc etc. Time machine required
Im 17 and all i can say is that this music from the 90s is amazing. The shit today is so bad. Wish i grew up in a more simpler and fun time with good music and good times :/

Hello 👋 to everyone who may read this. I was four years old in the US in 1990, so I got into this music and Madchester much later. I think I'm still drawn to late 80s and 90s alternative music because its sounds are the soundtrack to my younger days, like so many people in the comments. Guitar music ruled the world then! Part of me knows that there are still kids, even now, in garages playing with their friends and writing songs that will go all over the world one day. I'm glad we can come to a "place" like RUclips and share our appreciation for great music, no matter where we're located or how old we are!
I'm 48, saw these at the boardwalk in Manchester in 1987 aged 17 - still remember it. We used to go 3-4 times a week from Oldham in my mates dad's car, saw hundreds of manc bands but this one sticks in my mind.
this is how it feels to be lonely..
this is how it feels to be small..
this is how it feels when your word means nothing at all...
GREAT SONG!!
Sounds like world not word.
@@therespectedlex9794 I always thought "world" - But listen & it is "word"...
Haha, I was today years old when I found out it was ‘word’ not ‘world’.
I always thought it was “worth”. Take care guys.
I thought it was work.
Shot in the Peak District area outside of Manchester notorious in the 70s and 80s of stories of kids going missing. makes this song even better
Who ever reading this, I hope you have all the good things in life brings you, peace, love and happiness. Bless you all...🙂🙂
Thank u same to u
Thank u same back to you
@@stevekirkbride1723 My pleasure mate.

Just love this song and the carpets, I'm from liverpool and between both cities we've produced some of the greatest musicians in history..happy days man
I always thanks to England for giving us good music, greetings from mexico 🇲🇽.
@@lucabrasi3964 this is an English band so English is correct, the rest of the Isles never associate with Britain when they create something so why should the English be any different
Just fckin great...i CAN NOT believe its 30 yrs ago...wheres my life gone
I'm from Manchester and there's so many Manc songs that evoke emotion, but none quite as much as this does, brings a tear to my eye every time for so many reasons... Snake Pass.
Nice
Best song of its genre... leads me to the light every time...
Jokes aside, one of the best songs I came across in my childhood - good to see Tom Hingley still out there performing. I don't believe the now generation realize and appreciate just how talented and popular Inspiral Carpets were.
+LIVERNIL723 You do know this is a cover version, Right?
+Miyuki Shijisha I am now 42, you are talking shite.
+DevineChalk Fuck me, you would have seen the Beetles. Don't talk shite.
+DevineChalk You replied to yourself.
cover version my ugly arse
This song is still f*****g great! Holds up amazingly well.
The mind is a time machine. I love the place this song takes me.
A gem of a song, legendary. And it inspirals me.
This song has stopped me going over the edge more than once.. Thank you...
You have friends,You will get there good luck my friend
Genius. Great lyrics and wonderful harmonies.
saw Tom perform this tonight and bought back so many memories. I was about to end it all when this song came on my car stereo.
This song is the reason I am still here today.
Thank you for this song and giving me a reason to live when everything else had fallen apart 😢😢❤
Hope you're doing better now mate.
@@petertr2000 doing the best I can, still here and still listening to this on a regular basis. 2020 hasn't been a good year all round but I keep going.
Thank you for asking 🤗
Hang in there brother!
Just a fkn belter of a tune , ageless and perfection , thank you
Hailing from South Yorkshire this hurts a little bit...but...here goes... . Manchester is the centre of the music universe...I love The Fall, Buzzcocks, Stone Roses. Magazine, Inspirals etc etc etc … Manchester is and always has been where it's at... end of debate
Sheffield has produced some right talent too,
Pulp, longpigs, reverend and the makers, arctic monkeys, human league, babybird,
and there’s so much up and coming talent in Sheffield , check out, Landmark, the Sherlocks, the rosadocs, the Reytons
@@bigboy8950 London is the epicenter of the musical universe. End of!
@@royferguson3909 it really isn't
The Smiths, Joy Division as well
I’m from Sheffield and we are great yes we are, but Mancunio is where it’s at. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wow. The memories. The Madchester Scene, the burgeoning rave scene. All the great bands of that time. There was something in the air, it was bristling. Incredible. I had this in my sony-walkman and just let the whole (great) album play (good old 'autoreverse' :). What happened to music guys? WHAT HAPPENED? The shit of today cant hold a CANDLE to the good vibe we had then.
hardly, things just don't last
Awesome music from the best city. Blue moon
Time moves on my friend. I personally loved the seventies but I'm older than you. Each generation remembers fondly the music of their youth. Doesn't make it the best though. We all had a good 'vibe' as you call it in our day.
yeah all pre-social media which is running and ruining the world
@@loldate231 anti social media...
This song is too perfect to put into words, anyone who disliked has no taste in music
My favorite "Madchester" song of all time...truly brilliant
So sad to hear of Gilly passing away. 44, too young, so sad. Heart and prayers go out to his family friends and everyone who was touched by him and his music.
Rip craig. One of the worlds most underrated drummers.
I moved to a new town during my Jr high school days and I listened to Inspiral Carpets, Lightning Seeds, Stone Roses, The Ocean Blue, etc to help with the change. Still listening damn over 30 years later!
I struggled a bit when i was a kid and hearing this song certainly struck a chord at the time. Always loved the Inspirals. Joe and Dragging Me Down are still belters.
I've suffered anxiety all my life and depression last 8 years...I'm 56 or 57 ...this song lifts me....crack on.
@@paulmcleod1469 fair play to you mate, hopefully it will get easier for you. Anxiety is something I've had most of my life also but has gotten a better with age. Half the time I'm too knackered to be arsed with it these days.
RIP Craig. You were amazing, and the root of my youth!
I remember waiting with tape deck on standby for KROQ to finally play this in 1990 when I was 13. Now you can think of a song and hear it instantly.
I suffer from cerebral atrophy and my memory can be bad at times but this song reminds me of bucket hats,flares and misadventure,happy days,bring it back.
1990 - 33yrs ago and it seems more relevant than ever ❤
There is 1 billion fucking good bands like this in great britain, and 0 in France...
Greetings from Paris, lads.
You got fine bands in France too mate... The Limiñanas, La Femme, AIR, Melody's Echo Chamber ...
Yussuf Jerusalem, Jessica93.
Noir desir???
Try some Lucid Rivers
n'importe quoi
Brilliant song, brilliant group, brilliant video.
I always go to this when my depression really hurts and pulls my insides out
Stay strong, hope you're doing ok
Much love to you Danny ..it’s ok not to be ok 💙
Head up music helps 💪
Stay strong been there not nice still suffer from time to time
DON'T Danny. Go somewhere better. Come back to this and think 'I beat it'. Stay strong mate. It only hurts a short while. Trust me. Love to you.
Knowing that Noel Gallagher was a roadie for the band along with Mark Coyle, is amazing
RIP Gilly, gone but never forgotten. Cool As, Oldham Soul❤
Still one of the classics ... What a top tune.
Definitely one of most underrated Manchester bands, at least in mainstream terms
One of my favourite songs and bands I've seen them play many times and I loved them to bits.
Probably one of the greatest songs ever made
Keep battling my darlings I refuse to give up God bless you all xx
💪💯❤
@@carlkeig5640 Thank you my friend please stay safe God bless you and your family xx
Great Post!!! Thanks mate
@@markyinbelfastxx9088 take care my friend and stay safe merry Christmas God bless you and your family London by birth millwall the grace of God x
@@grantpetersen1049 you too mate ,god bless
This is literally my theme tune to 2022. This year makes no sense to me. I lived for 50 years before this nonsense and I have no idea what happened. Thank you so much for making this song. My world means nothing at all at times, but this song just keeps me going. Mr Hingley, you're a f*cking legend, my darling. Please come to Leicester some time? I really would like the opportunity to fan girl on you proper xXx
What a comment fantastic x
American bands could never produce music such as this, they never understand the pain in a working class home with no money, rainy cold and miserable outdoors
All these guys and guys like them had was a dream and the know how to express their lives in the estates
Do you think all of the USA is warm and tropical?! I am from Manchester too but I know enough about the US to know that the majority of it has vastly worse winters than we do. Super cold winters with sub zeros and snow. Also, a large part of the US suffered the working class break down that Manchester suffered in the 80s. The 'Rust belt'. It has as much depression as Manchester.
@@leod-sigefast mate your not understanding what I'm saying lol
32 years ago and the lyrics still hit hard in 2023
Great song from a great album made by a great band!
I was born when this song came out. I remember being like 4 or 5 in the house, mum dad playing this on vinyl, Tune for family I think was B Side. But in the house they also had on like Stone Roses, Charltans, happy Mondays and James. Songs stay with you forever and never be tied to one genre, be open to all music.
The Manchester music 🎶 🎵 wad incredible in the 1990,s . These guys were very good,the charlatans, the stone roses, the list is endless 👌 😍
