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 :/
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
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
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 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.
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.
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 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!
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
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.
1990 - what a year! Stone Roses, Charlatans, the Mondays & techno blew up. Memories that sustain me in episodes of despondency or disinfranchisement. Fick8ng best year!! 💯👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
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

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 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 💕❤️💕
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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.
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!
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!
Unsung heroes from the 90's Manchester scene, truly inspirational song, right up there with the very best from that era, didn't get the appraisal of other high profile bands during that time, but this classic song endears itself securely into the annals of pop music history.
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.
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!
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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!).
Watched them live Portsmouth 1992 ish. Frank and Walters support. Awesome gig and wanna thank the lad who grabbed me at the edge of the bouncing at the front when I was about to be squished by the ebb and flow of the pit.
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.
For those that haven't driven across the M62........ love this tune and band, but I've been from Leeds to M'chester in Feb when it's been bitter and bleak, but then I am Scottish :D
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.
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!
Christ - 1990 doesn't feel that far away from 2020. Enjoy your lives kids, time flies.
So so true .......

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.
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 suffer with awful Tinnitus and mental health...It's not easy and many times thought of a way out .
Bloody top bloke and all, he used to live across the road from me, always stopped for a chat, asked about the family etc
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!).
Watched them live Portsmouth 1992 ish. Frank and Walters support. Awesome gig and wanna thank the lad who grabbed me at the edge of the bouncing at the front when I was about to be squished by the ebb and flow of the pit.
Definitely one of most underrated Manchester bands, at least in mainstream terms
best song ever
This song is still f*****g great! Holds up amazingly well.
I'm going to see them live in 2 weeks time for first time ever and I'm honestly that excited I could sh*t a brick😁
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
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.
For those that haven't driven across the M62........ love this tune and band, but I've been from Leeds to M'chester in Feb when it's been bitter and bleak, but then I am Scottish :D
Today is November 20th, 2024.
RIP Craig. 8 yrs today.
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
Tune,pandemic 2020......I miss these days. Gone too soon Craig.
Arguably one of the best bands in the 90's. They could of made it really big if they carried on, through the power of their songs.
I will play this on repeat
Roll on 8th April Leeds O2,it's gonna be a great gig !
Still one of the classics ... What a top tune.
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!
This is a great song. Good era for Manchester bands.
Just a fkn belter of a tune , ageless and perfection , thank you
