D:Ream - Things Can Only Get Better (1993) (Official Video)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2025
- 'Things Can Only Get Better' was a slow burner to begin with; taking a few months to reach the Top 40 in the UK, and initially receiving position #24 in 1993. Peter Cunnah decided to remix and re-release the track, catapulting it to #1 for 4 weeks in 1994.
The track was also used as the Labour Party's theme tune during their successful campaign in the 1997 General Election.

“Things can only get better”
Perfect trolling by Steve Bray, he was the one playing outside Downing Street 😂

Great timing.

The man literally went out and bought two amps so he could do this 🤣 both got destroyed by the rain, but it was so worth it
30 years later and here I am still listening to this song, waiting for things to get better.
Winter of 93/94 - we had just flipped our Leopard 1 tank over on its roof in the 3 meter deep snow, almost crushing me standing in the commanders hatch trying to navigate in a whiteout to find the shooting range. Tank was loaded with ammo. We evacuated to the no. 4 tank in the platoon to avoid freezing to death as this was well north of the arctic circle. Was sitting on the floor in the loaders section of the turret with my crew, fully aware of the shitstorm about to come from higher up. It had already startet on the command net. My buddy the commander of no 4 tank put on the radio. And this song was what the radio blared out.
Happy days - life sure had its ups and downs since but this song is still able to put a grin on my face :-)
Welcome to the club bud, I'm there too. But I think it's still a great piece, lifting up spirit, and something tells me yours included,otherwise you won't still wait for the things to get better and abandoned the thought...lol

1. Winter fuel allowance for pensioners CUT
2. WASPI women BETRAYAL ( and the person who delivered the news the female chancellor took great pleasure in the announcement!)
Of course the y will blame the Tories for even suggesting to the waspi movement there may be some compensation
3.single persons council tax allowance to be removed ?
( Not too sure how that will oan out )
I'm sure there is more but cannot recall just now
Labour are doing the very WORST kind of betrayal ever
⚒️ Hammering the Poor / weak / elderly / vulnerable / the voiceless as they are an EASY TARGET 🎯
( Tory ( sorry Tony Blair had an absolute cheek to hijack this wonderful song for his election campaign .........it will forever remind me of him ........and look how all that ended 😭 ( wasn't good was it 😔)
But hey he's warming mega bucks now .....whatever he does I don't really know lol 😂
Kier Starmer is a WEAK leader
Quite happy to come up with plans for cuts as I do realise they have to .....£ at an all time low just now and UK has Huge debts ..............
Every generation blames the one B4

Top of my playlist for next 6 weeks. Come on!
Gonna blast this out! 🗳️
I was lucky enough to (just) be able to vote in 1997. That was seismic. This has the potential to be even better.
I was 6, but I remember it, and I remember the good times growing up
This is my first time being able to vote in a general election. My tory MP is gone and I helped get him out! Things can only get better!
Same!

@@fredsmodelrailways9697Steve Bray, the stop Brexit guy.
I was born in '93 and never really listened to this song. However my gratitude goes to Steve Bray for burning this into my mind as the soundtrack for the beginning of the end for this dreadful government.
For the last year or so I've been asking "what haven't the conservatives made worse or even utterly destroyed". This song is essentially my question. Everything is f**ked. Things can't get worse, they can only get better.
For the first time in years, I have a small amount of hope. This song feels like an outpouring of that hope.
93 baby here too. Can not wait for July 4th!
I was in the laundromat when the election was announced. There were genuine cheers and people saying it's about time we kick out the Tories. My local Tory MP has been safe in his job for over 15 years and I live in a VERY right-wing area.
It's happening, boys!
I didn't expect to find many of my fellow British people here hating the Tories but I'm happy I did! I too was beought here by that legendary moment during Sunak's speech.
I want this go back in the charts at No.10
This is the most 90’s music video I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen Seals kissed by a Rose

How exactly do you expect them to improve? What exactly is going to change materially?
@@Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s
Domestically, the difference between 1997 and 2010 was night and day. It is not even close, you cannot compare it to the last 14 years because they improved THAT much within our country at the time.
Brown made a speech before the 2010 elections which he was obviously going to lose after the global crash and housing market fumble, he essentially explained how improved things were and during the election campaign was honest about having to cut services at the time.
Foreignically, Labour have a history of miserable failures. The Iraq war would have happened either way, but to still go ahead with it when it was an obvious lie was dumb. It's an obvious disaster that led to further immigration whether people support it or not, which is still favourable for most (although less so in a couple of years)
Then again, the failure of the West to prepare Afghanistan before leaving was a shocking failure by Biden and Johnson's governments.
Immigration has no real quick fix whether we are in the ECHR or not, and to leave it simply for immigration and then trust our politicians to replace the contents is suicidal.
Ratcliffe and Farage have a lot to answer for with the recent immigration surge. Farage especially after his lie that Brexit would curb immigration at the time. It was so obviously a lie.
The past declares Labour the current best choice.
@@Esseeja If you think the country should go back to 2010 house prices, crime levels, and demographics, I would agree. But that's not what's going to happen, is it?
@@Take_Me_Back_To_The_1980s the beautiful British pessimism manufactured by the Tories.
I believe improvements will happen.
@@Esseeja OK, then how are Labour going to lower house prices, lower crime, lower NHS waiting lists, and return to 2010 demographics when by your own admission Britain was a better place to live? Because 'hope, inclusion, change' isn't a strategy
I've just watched a speech by one of your MPs who said longer wait times, higher costs are all worth it in order to have the fluffy feeling of having turned the country in to a 'refuge' for the 3rd world

I was a small child when the Tories first came in. I haven’t known life without a bloody Tory government. It's finally time.
It’s not over until it’s over unfortunately.
I was born in 1961, between 1963 and with only a few years of Edward Heath, we had Labour governments, until Thatcher and Major. The Tories have been in power longer in my lifetime, than Labour, after Blair and Brown, because we got Cameron and his coalition, then the current, getting increasingly worse Tory governments.
88 child here, I lived through the labour years (went to school during the 90s and early 00s), honestly, best government of my lifetime. The tories have utterly destroyed every single thing they could get their hands on since they came to power. I really hope it's finally time to remove them and hopefully for good but then this is the country that shot itself in the foot with Brexit.
Ignore the people that will undoubtebly say "you dont know how bad labour will be".
Just remember to vote, to get your friends to register and vote, this is probably out single chance to actually remove them.
@@julianaylor4351 My dad was also born in 1961, something he told me that actually seemed crazy at first until I looked it up was essentially the ONLY Labour leader that has won General elections since he has been able to vote from 1979 onwards has been Tony Blair. All others have been won by Thatcher, Major, Cameron (Coalition and Majority), May (even with a minority she still had the government) and Bojo.
Enjoy it. My mother emigrated back to ireland and she cries whenever the tories win. I remember her partying in 1997 when Tony blair and everyone shouting up tony! ❤❤❤

yeah Major was pretty good as PM. NI peace process, Maastricht Treaty, and put the economy on track after a wobbly start. He was let down by the right-wing bastards in his own party when he had a small majority to work with and had to rely on them for support.

While I was in Rehab, I’ve been listening to 90s music which was my era (I was born in ‘97) and ‘Things Can Only Get Better’ has been helping me get through it all and has become my New Anthem. Music from the 90s is so full of positivity, inspiration, happiness and real talent of course 💚
