i love the way people are walking past outside. little do they know the magic that lurks within,,,,,,they have their day planned and have missed a performance that is genius....and they will never know
Look at the state of music now. Ed fricking Sheeran. The worst music of all time. The worst song by him (they all are) has billions of views. Billions more views than sultans of swing by Dire straits. It's not possible unless the system is totally rigged.
Absolutely brilliant, criminal in my mind why these guys were not more appreciated, it pains me as I'm the only one in my friends and family that actually know of Gomez but their brilliance is staggering. I as a musician just want them to be recognised as to how good they are..
This song has been in my top three songs of all time for ages ... They will remain there for life me thinks .... It just never gets old ... A dreamy masterpiece of epic proportions 👏👏👏👍🎶🎸✌️❤️
@@stephengrant7627 moonage daydream by bowie and take the long way home by supertramp. they are nagotiable within top 3 but tijuana lady is not .. that stays there for life.
Bring it On, greatest album in the last 20 years. Tijuana Lady a fantastic chill out song to listen to on a summers night with drink in hand and mates by your side.
I heard a small snip of this song in a horror movie, and searched unsuccessfully for this song. The virulent spread of the internet and you tube allowed to make a list of songs I didn't know the names of, or who sang them. This is a gem and the lead singers voice haunted me for a long time. I am so glad I found you!
@@cneal7994 Yes, when he walks into his apartment he plays this song. I was so blown away by it I started searching for a Lost Souls soundtrack unaware of the name or the band. This was a ways before the internet explosion. When I found a copy the song isn't on it, lol.
Tune guitar to open D (tune with capo on 2nd fret) Open strum then hammer on/off the D string and hold with the A string for a moment before hammering off back to Key. Chorus seems to be an Emin chord played on E&A strings on 5th fret x 3 before sliding shape to 7th fret and back to Key. To get the riff simply take G string from 1..3..1...0 for the low part then G string 5...7...5 D string 7...5...4...0 Repeat. Have fun
It amazes me when I say to people about Gomez, and they've not heard of them. WHAT? MegaPapa1968 you are so, so right. I've been listening to these guys for years now and they are still very much on my "most amazing bands to listen to" list!
I discovered Gomez and Tijuana Lady in the summer of 1999 while driving from LA to Ensenada ,Mex. on a mini vacation. Three weeks later Gomez was in my Discman as I flew to Europe. Brings chills to me now because that was a awesome summer and Gomez was part of what made it awesome.
I discovered Gomez ( the group ) through an artical in the daily telegraph , of all things , I purchased their first album on that recomendation ==== all those years ago === and this track was on that album . Great album great group Perhaps because I like MUSIC I will never understand why this group never reached the top
Just saw them live (again)....still amazing after 15 yrs touring together. Getting better all the time....actually. Highly recommend catching their live shows!!
This song makes me feel like a lady, feel like a little girl, feel like I'm something to the man that I love, but most of all it makes me feel like I'm me. And that's all I can be. I love these guys and hope to see more of them.
This song will always remind me of my wee Vegas adventure. Wakening up about 3 miles from my hotel at 8am and having to walk back, earphones in and this was on, fantastic..!
A chance encounter with 'Hangover' on Triple J back in 1999 made me a lifelong fan of this band. To this day, when I talk about music with people, I mention this band and I'm greeted with blank stares and shrugs. It makes me feel like I am one of a (relative) privileged few worldwide who found and connected with band and their soul-soothing music. I agree with others on here when they say this band should have been bigger than it was. Regarding the song above: spine-tingling. Anyone know if the guitar uses open tuning and if so, what key?
Saw them in concert at the abbey theatre in Chicago once back in the day Gomez are so brilliant and a talented band they are so fabulous and really can play
+HOWIE FITZPATRICK , first ? never knew they did more than the album this off , never even knew they were still going until now . yes , underated , very individual sound , rare with todays music , singers all seem to share the same coach
@MegaPapa1968 Whilst I partially agree that Gomez may have not achieved widespread recognition for their undeniable talent ,well not since the mid 90's it may surprise you to know that they have been recognised by their musical peers, by being one of the first recipients of the Mercury music prize.
This is a tall order. I have searched for chords and tablature for this song, and yet, they all show a different way of playing this song than to how Ian is playing the song in this video. I know the capo is on 2nd fret. But is it standard tuning. If anyone knows how to play the song in the same manner than he is playing it in this video, I will love you forever.
Well, if you look properly you can't see that it's clearly not standard tuning. You can't hit an open chord like that in standard, especially not with E on top, with a capo on the 2nd fret. His guitar is tuned in an open D with E on the bass string - that is EADF#AD. You can see the chord he plays before the song, he frets 020100 at it come out as F#C#EABE (Em11, or more properly Em7add11). When you know the tuning, the song becomes pretty easy, just listen and try to emulate the sounds, he actually mostly strums with just a finger or two on the fretboard - it looks like he does more because he's muting the low string (as it's not part of the open chord tuning). Hope that helps.
They never got the credit they deserved. Bloody awesome band, very underrated
Fuckin amazing guys. Deserved far more recognition than they ever got.
The most deserving winner of the Mercury Prize of any year in my view. Brilliant album.
i love the way people are walking past outside. little do they know the magic that lurks within,,,,,,they have their day planned and have missed a performance that is genius....and they will never know
This is an album that I played incessantly, and to everyone who would listen. Top marks.
This song jerks a tear every time I hear it. Memories of the best times of my life. Gives me chills...
Fatal Heart Rhythm .... me too x but it makes me smile as well ...
please write back to me, i feel the same way
Me too. I still cry.....

I can't believe that there were actually 11 goons that gave this thumbs down. Gomez rock!
They were probably dyslexic people looking for Jenifer Lopez. Not really their fault.
One of the most haunting and beautiful performances. One of the most underrated bands ever.
Absolutely brilliant, criminal in my mind why these guys were not more appreciated, it pains me as I'm the only one in my friends and family that actually know of Gomez but their brilliance is staggering. I as a musician just want them to be recognised as to how good they are..
when they won the mercury music prize , i really took notice of them and they were brilliant ... very underrated band with a unique sound ...
this band should have been bigger then what they was............what a shame i still love there music
This song has been in my top three songs of all time for ages ... They will remain there for life me thinks .... It just never gets old ... A dreamy masterpiece of epic proportions 👏👏👏👍🎶🎸✌️❤️
What are the other two? :)
Same here magico

@@davidnevilleking Sweet... 3 years later I noticed I made this comment! And still searching for the tuning on this guitar.....
hell of a performance. Bring It On is a desert island album if there ever was one
i so loved this album I can't believe how old it is :)

Absolute class. That is all.
totally blown away the first time i saw this.. incredible for such a powerful performance to have such mediocre surroundings! Gomez, we are not worthy

This band is great. I agree, they are very underrated . Wish they would come to canada
I still can't get my head around what an incredible singer Ben is and yet he isn't usually the main vocalist!
What a perfectly beautiful song
hi its tamistar13 do i know you? you have great taste in music if you love this song!
This song makes me feel like a lady, feel like a little girl, feel like I'm something to the man that I love, but most of all it makes me feel like I'm me. And that's all I can be. I love these guys and hope to see more of them.
i love his voice its soo different than ive ever heard before, kind of haunting.
Thank you lads it reminds me of my mum. I was playing mallorca at the time and my mum was really ill. and to me this is her song. THANK YOU GUYS X
Probably the most underrated band of all time. Magical performance
no lol
Wow! How long I've been listening to Gomez. They are soooo good.
This song will always remind me of my wee Vegas adventure. Wakening up about 3 miles from my hotel at 8am and having to walk back, earphones in and this was on, fantastic..!
this band and song ooooozes magic!
Loved this song then. Love it now.
Does any of the public even realise who the hell is playing live in a shop lol. Its fucking GOMEZ!!!!
They played it in Townsville, AUS last week. Was one of the highlights of the set.
Love this for so many reasons xxx

why they are not still charting i dont know. wicked wicked wicked. love his voice.
wow play this at my funeral please
4 min's 17 and seconds of pure perfection. I had to buy their albums on itunes a few weeks ago, and it's really well spent money. Thanx Gomez.
God I love these guys. First time I heard them I went out and bought all their albums. Awesome music!
Saw them in concert at the abbey theatre in Chicago once back in the day Gomez are so brilliant and a talented band they are so fabulous and really can play
Love this band, highly underrated. Did my best work listening to this in the background.
What a wonderful voice.
doesn't get much better than this folks
Indescribably good. This song is perfection.
brings back great nights sitting chillin wae the boys" GOMEZ" superb.
It's a decade since I last saw Gomez live and this song reminds me why I really must make more effort next time they're on the road.
Can't wait to see them at the Barras' 20 years since I first heard them, still the best.
Beautiful song. Still enjoying gomez.
absolutly ace band!!
One of my favorite songs..what a voice
Listening 22.06.21 , still just brilliant 👏👌👍😀

What a voice. Loved this band.
FIRST ALBUM WAS THE BEST BY FAR.
+HOWIE FITZPATRICK , first ? never knew they did more than the album this off , never even knew they were still going until now . yes , underated , very individual sound , rare with todays music , singers all seem to share the same coach
De las mejores canciones de Gómez y concuerdo con muchos comentarios en inglés, es una banda poco valorada pero buenísima sin duda!
Half as long and twice as good.
Great performance
AMAZING SONG FROM AN AMAZING BAND.........
@shavedotter Tom Gray on bass. Guitar, bass, keyboard, vocalist & songwriter for Gomez.

Still don’t/can’t understand how a guy from Derbyshire sings with such an affected American/blues voice.
James May on Bass guitar.
