Éste tema lo escuché allá por los 90! Recuerdo estar en la secundaria, las juntadas con amigas, amaba éste estilo de música! Hoy en día me genera nostalgia volver a esos brillantes días! Gracias Tracy amé tus temas genia!!!!! ❣️
This has to be my favorite club song of the 90s......it still sounds incredible. I have the CD single. It nust have a dozen remixes. I believe it's a Japanese import. It took me years to find it pre-internet. I bought it at the Sam The Record Man store at Yonge & Dundas in Toronto.
Great video. I love the emphasis of these people being HUMAN (doing what their bodies are physically capable of doing). It illustrates the fact that one doesn't have to treat their intimate partners as if they're SCARCE RESOURCE! Learning how to operate in this concept alone will make one's interpersonal relationship with others a lot smoother...
Choon, 2023 finally checked video, wild! Danced to it when it came out & ever since, EBTG Tacey Thorn & don't forget Ben Watt, what a combo, winning, a moment in time, best memory of this is poolside, Miami, Winter Music Conference, year it came out, spanking it ever since, looking forward to dropping it again soon, NYC & beyond, rave on you lovelees! 😍
I believe that lyrics have nothing to do with the video - I think that the video explores the concept of free love, while lyrically its about....well, I'm not sure, really. Though looking at lyrics now, I can guess... "What is it inside you that makes you want to be my god" "And you say think of the old days We could have them back again Well I thought about the old days They'd go bad like they did then" I think the whole song is a look at an intense past relationship that ended badly, a subject common in many of EBTG songs.
I'm here after listening the first seconds os this song in The Thirteenth Floor movie, got my attention instantaneously, the Shazam app helped, great song.
In today modern relationships people doesn't really apply value to it anymore. Since everyone is so civilize and egotistic. Relationship in 20th and 21th centuries has change alot.
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.

Speaking of the Future, I’ll be watching this in 2020!
Éste tema lo escuché allá por los 90! Recuerdo estar en la secundaria, las juntadas con amigas, amaba éste estilo de música! Hoy en día me genera nostalgia volver a esos brillantes días! Gracias Tracy amé tus temas genia!!!!! ❣️
Top stuff from EBTG - happy memories of Summer London 1998 in the 'Cave' off Clapham High Street - Happy days eh Mans and Dave?!!!! Best always.
demasiado adelantada a su época... una belleza :) yo tenia solo 8 años... ufff
Naaaa, sólo eras un pendejo que adelantada ni que nada
My perfect world.....🥰😍
so... yeah. This track is still phenomenal.
I love this...the voice of TRACEY THORN on a DEEP DISH tune...a classic one and always my favourite.
Cuando mtv era lo mejor esta canción sigue en mi play list aun
Well done ! Tracey`s voice on Deep Dish always makes me happy...great tune and i still wait for more. This one is the perfect chill house...respect !
The 2020 Coronavirus objects to this video...😂😁😂
Timeless
The soul in any way always seeks from the depths of its being the union not the separation because it knows that deep down that is its nature.
Listening and watching in 2019
Uno de mis temas favoritos alla por 1998, yo lo recuerdo cuando iva al boliche Zyx en Atlantida Canelones, Uruguay.
i've never seen a video older than this on youtube
This has to be my favorite club song of the 90s......it still sounds incredible.
I have the CD single. It nust have a dozen remixes. I believe it's a Japanese import. It took me years to find it pre-internet. I bought it at the Sam The Record Man store at Yonge & Dundas in Toronto.
I remember this song from back 90's Chicago only one time downtown
Great video. I love the emphasis of these people being HUMAN (doing what their bodies are physically capable of doing). It illustrates the fact that one doesn't have to treat their intimate partners as if they're SCARCE RESOURCE! Learning how to operate in this concept alone will make one's interpersonal relationship with others a lot smoother...
13 years ago! Im still listenin this masterpiece!
Now 17 , party nice bro
Choon, 2023 finally checked video, wild! Danced to it when it came out & ever since, EBTG Tacey Thorn & don't forget Ben Watt, what a combo, winning, a moment in time, best memory of this is poolside, Miami, Winter Music Conference, year it came out, spanking it ever since, looking forward to dropping it again soon, NYC & beyond, rave on you lovelees! 😍
Los deep dish!! 👏🏻
Ufffff George goes on El mejor disco de ellos y de EBTG ni se diga walkin wounded El mejor para mí

Отличный Melodic Deep от Sharama&Dudfire, они же Deep Dish... Давно их слушаю.У Sharama хороший альбом 'Get Wild'...
Thanks for posting, never saw this video. one of my all time favourite tracks from my all time favourite group EBTG!!!!!
first time seeing this video.... amazing
Still can't connect the lyrics with the video but I do remember listening to this track back in 1998. That old school house is still the best! Period.
I believe that lyrics have nothing to do with the video - I think that the video explores the concept of free love, while lyrically its about....well, I'm not sure, really.
Though looking at lyrics now, I can guess...
"What is it inside you that makes you want to be my god"
"And you say think of the old days
We could have them back again
Well I thought about the old days
They'd go bad like they did then"
I think the whole song is a look at an intense past relationship that ended badly, a subject common in many of EBTG songs.
Un bel sound molto soft....
2023. This will always be the bomb. True art is timeless.
This song is still as brilliant as when it was first released.
Beautiful voice,beautiful song,beautiful melody,nice video.
I'm here after listening the first seconds os this song in The Thirteenth Floor movie, got my attention instantaneously, the Shazam app helped, great song.
excelente tema...en esa epoca causó furor...y me animaria a decir...que hasta hoy dia sigue siendo lo mejor de lo mejor...😃
Unos de los tantos clásicos de la época. La mejor época fue y será los 90
I really love this song...love the "theme" of the video even more...
La manera mas relajada de poder exponer lo que todos en algun momento hemos deseado... Expresarse sin importar las barreras u opiniones de los demas.
Watch this so many times I love it.
The key is to beat this system by figuring out what life is for yourself. Know who the hell you are as a "being"... Great song by the way :-)
Tis is the way. I agree rothemutha.
I saw it in a canal in satellite, and I hadnt forget!!! In the end, I found ittttt!!! I love it
2021... Future of the Future huh?
This was the video that got me into EBTG over 10 years ago. Love it
It's so bright.
Octubre 2021 Aquí seguimos escuchando una obra maestra!
They knew we needed it in 2023
In today modern relationships people doesn't really apply value to it anymore. Since everyone is so civilize and egotistic. Relationship in 20th and 21th centuries has change alot.
this will always be my fav
Love seeing people not having and and using smartphones! Happy days!
OMG this takes me back when I was in the university
Una gran voz, gran ritmo, de lo mejor... El vídeo genial...
Listening and watching in 2020 (post lockdown). Masterpiece

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.

Released: 1998
[Verse 1]
The future of the future will still contain the past
Time goes slow and time goes fast
I can feel you looking back at me
To see how I've done
What is it inside you that makes you want to be my god
[Chorus]
Well it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
[Verse 2]
The future of the future will still repeat today
Time goes fast and fades away
And you say think of the old days
We could have them back again
Well I thought about the old days
They'll go bad like they did then
[Chorus]
Well it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
[Bridge]
The future of the future will still contain tonight
The passage of day the passage of light
I'm not going home again
Tomorrow will never come
I'm not going home again
Tomorrow will never come
[Chorus]
Well it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
Do you see those cars, those lights?
Do you see those roads, these skies?
[Outro]
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
What ya gonna do about me now?
It's so bright tonight
