Bought the single when it came out. I was 17 back then. Throughout all these years I’ve never stopped playing it. Im 37 today and it still makes me cry.
Exactly the same here, hence the fact it's 2022 and still listening this, I am 37 aswell, Not that it makes me cry but it does make me sad because I wish I was that age again, I would do it all differently.
This track is so beautifully crafted and sang. I love the tone of Michelle's voice and the production, with the piano, and the 2 step beat is stunning. A UK MUSIC CLASSIC
What happened to these good old garage tunes man !! Artful dodger where you go bro hurry up and come back destroy the s**t of today and show them how good music can be once again.
TBH I was waiting for comment like this (in a good way), Artful could show some oldskool bass and melody to those fresh /radio/ 1 hit wonders, proper thing I mean.
Loved this album, it was almost permanently in the CD player. Memories... 16/17 years old, all the strong scents of body sprays, perfumes and the taste of thick lipgloss hits me just now. Clubbing days were so much fun, great vibes all round, we lived truly free without control of smartphones and social media, although I know it's been said a hundred times before. Even just in the clubs in town, we were so laid back (before they all closed or got demolished ten years later!!) Wish we had a time machine!
The lyrics are true if one has experienced love or heart break, there is pleasure in pain, and pain brings pleasure. If you truly love someone dont blame them, look at yourself to repair the missed time. Love is powerful cos it can have you on top of the world and powerless when days change, vulnerability creeps in and love hurts
When all of mankind is gone and forgotten - this track could serve as a runestone to explain to whoever finds it exactly what humanity was all about ...
Usually it’s because the producer/writer/artists disagree on the royalty rights. If any one of them doesn’t agree then Spotify pulls it till they all agree. Sad so many OG tunes missing on Spotify...
I was looking all over for this damn song. I forgot the name and couldn't get the tune out of my head for two weeks..........who was a teen when this song came out? The best times!!!!!! Garage music, craig david.......YES!!!!
Always think to myself the yoots are gonna miss these tunes cos no one plays them anymore and this is one of the greatest UKG albums of all time and it’s sad. Made me smile to think of all the kids who grew up with this who now have kids and are educating them on the UK music scene and what it went through. We pioneered so much music from garage, dnb through to grime. Power to the UK 🇬🇧
Every time I hear those , are they piano keys? On the TV advert, I go back to 2001-2. Artful Dodger ,Escoffery, Craig David and that other guy revolutionalised music. And Michelle , man! She came out sounding like it was real. One of my all time faves.
❤wow what a great tune..this track never dies always will be a top tune for me.. artful dodger are very talented saw them wen they very just starting to hit the charts in a club
It may sound odd but that CBBC art show 'Smart' introduced me to this song back in the day. Infact I don't know who was spinning the tracks in the background of their short VT on location art segments, but they were selecting pure fire tracks!!!
That little piano ensemble hits the nostalgic vibes hard. Great times 99 early 2000’s
Quality
Exactly!!! Listen to Jessie’s song - tell me 😉
@@jasooma6869 niiicee👌 - her voice brings the whole track together
MTV base back in the Trevor Nelson days
yess! Best years in music! R&B, Hip Hop, Garage was all so funky and soulful back then.
The lick salutes you! Better days...
I can defently smell it 😉👍🏼.
Aqua di GIO back in the Day's and artful dodger what a great Time.
Great time for tuneage
That intro
Artful Dodger gave us one of the best all time dance albums. every track is a gem
paul paul every single track absolutely amazing. A favourite of mine still Xx❤️xX
wish theyd start writing again...the two guys in artful dodger are incredibly talented
totally agree, amazing album and im 62
For sure fella.🤟
They were like the “ Neptunes “ of UK Garage 🔥🔥
Instant vintage, remember it being used for the MTV Base signature tune. The force is strong with the Escofferys.
Bless up all ravers.
Bought the single when it came out. I was 17 back then. Throughout all these years I’ve never stopped playing it. Im 37 today and it still makes me cry.
Me too!
Exactly the same here, hence the fact it's 2022 and still listening this, I am 37 aswell, Not that it makes me cry but it does make me sad because I wish I was that age again, I would do it all differently.
@@swansmeister im 50 and this still hits the spot
Same my brother

This song has been my wake up alarm for the past 10 years!
NEVER gets old
Q

@@Ruthless121

@@Ruthless121 SAYS THE FOOL TRIGGERED BY MY POST!
One of the best garage tunes ever made surely ?
One of the most amazing songs ever, lovely combination at the time and would be still even today! Timeless!!
That piano 🎹 at the beginning👌
This track is so beautifully crafted and sang. I love the tone of Michelle's voice and the production, with the piano, and the 2 step beat is stunning. A UK MUSIC CLASSIC
@martin81bayern absolutely
What happened to these good old garage tunes man !! Artful dodger where you go bro hurry up and come back destroy the s**t of today and show them how good music can be once again.
Amen
Good old days not like today
So solid came and fucked ish up
TBH I was waiting for comment like this (in a good way), Artful could show some oldskool bass and melody to those fresh /radio/ 1 hit wonders, proper thing I mean.
@@awsanteina5152 Pretty much sums it up.
I was 17 when this came out. So nostalgic, was such a tune back then, takes me right back to all those feels ❤
20 years later and this tune still bangs.
22 years and counting!

Absolute gem of a tune it will never get old it will always be special
A very typical nostalgic UK sound back when I was in school
One of the best albums of all time. Still sounds just as good in 2023. Takes you back to the exact moment great times great memories
Defo xx
This is a classic They made a garage song on 3/4!!! who the hell does that.... Genius!!!
Is it even garage though if its 3/4? Think about it.
One of THE best albums when released. Loved the whole album, but this song is something special to me. Xx❤️xX
One of my favourite albums of all time. Every track is near perfection. Sublime production. This is how to make truly great music.
Tears in my eyes. After all these years I found the track...
So many of us can relate to these lyrics 😔. They hit home on a nostalgic level.
The lyrics are true if one has experienced love or heart break, there is pleasure in pain, and pain brings pleasure. If you truly love someone dont blame them, look at yourself to repair the missed time. Love is powerful cos it can have you on top of the world and powerless when days change, vulnerability creeps in and love hurts
this song will never get old still hits so hard !
inlove with artful dodger!!! LITERAL MY PERFECT KIND OF GENRE
Best Artful Dodger tune!!!! Love this track!
Still stirs up big emotions
Timeless...🚥 London N15 🇲🇺🚥
I cry everytime I listen to this 😣
Emotions Run So High 😢🙏🌹🕊
Mannnn wish i could go back to these days
Me toooo
Missed this song so much. Only just randomly remembered it. Wish it was on Spotify
#search all about the stragglers by artful dodger
Please, PLEASE add this track to spotify. In fact add every track from 'stragglers'
I’m super upset it’s not on Apple or Amazon music either. I had a minor meltdown at work over it.
@@Teatolitarian the album is on RUclips music
An amazing classic that is timeless in presentation and masterful in its composition.
This is like a tattoo on me....pure memories. I dance my ass off this killin track.
Haven't listened to this in years and here I am remembering all the lyrics, ffsss
Lol snap!!!
Classic! Takes me back to early 2000s This and Craig David Re-Rewind
Just listened to this again for the first time in 20 years and it's just as good as the first time round

Gives me goosebumps
This tune just popped in my head, not heard it in a while , class tune

Loving the old garage classics, when music was real ❤
WOW... JUST WOW!
I typed in old skool garage and this came up. The first 4 bars just took me wayyy back!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
After so many years, this song still sounds classic. The audio version sounded better. Good old childhood memories.
Tears everytime 🥺🥺
Absolute classic, beautiful.
I remember that day I was a bit down and saw this clip. What a wonderful heart touching song it is.
When all of mankind is gone and forgotten - this track could serve as a runestone to explain to whoever finds it exactly what humanity was all about ...
So glad I found this track again!
Why did they get rid off this classic on spotify
C Tnee it’s on RUclips Music
Was looking for it just now. Gutted!
Omg I was trying to find it on Spotify 😩😩😩💓
Why tho does anyone have any answers?
Usually it’s because the producer/writer/artists disagree on the royalty rights. If any one of them doesn’t agree then Spotify pulls it till they all agree. Sad so many OG tunes missing on Spotify...
I was looking all over for this damn song. I forgot the name and couldn't get the tune out of my head for two weeks..........who was a teen when this song came out? The best times!!!!!! Garage music, craig david.......YES!!!!
my fave song off one of the best albums ever
Absolutely love this track, early 2000's happy memories 😊 Where did the time go?!

I wish there were a time machine cause music back then was way better!

So glad I was born when I was so I got to grow up with these pure garage bangers! Music's not the same
Top days. Great music. Miss these days
I was just an infant when this song came out, my dad listens to this and he got me addicted now !!
Your dad knows what time it is!!!!
Always think to myself the yoots are gonna miss these tunes cos no one plays them anymore and this is one of the greatest UKG albums of all time and it’s sad.

Can’t believe this album isn’t on any streaming services! Absolute classic of my teenage years. This was an amazing opener
Yikes! Some memories from a previous life here......
Still remember Michelle Escoffery during her Truce days! She's come a long way ❤
Love this song still gives me shivers
I'm feeling nostalgic and I wasn't even alive when this record was released
Every time I hear those , are they piano keys? On the TV advert, I go back to 2001-2. Artful Dodger ,Escoffery, Craig David and that other guy revolutionalised music. And Michelle , man! She came out sounding like it was real. One of my all time faves.
The Mtv Base advert. As soon this video I thought about just that
You forgot truesteppers

When you reminisce, aww loved this tune ❤
❤wow what a great tune..this track never dies always will be a top tune for me.. artful dodger are very talented saw them wen they very just starting to hit the charts in a club
