Thought you meant Simon - more like 1 hairstyle and definitely less than 6 women, 1 spice girl though sort of haha. Love the fact they have carried on - quality players in every position - class band. keep the faith
Most underrated singer songwriter the country ever produced, to even put them in the same category as oasis etc is a disservice to music, Fowler /Craddock for me in the best of the 90’s
25 years it's more relatable today than it ever was "And it feels like I'm on the outside of the circle"... 1 broken heart from childhood Led to 26 years drug addiction (14 heroin) 22 years mental health problems 18 years suicidal thoughts 2 children (1 passed away 😢) 48 years never knowing my father 4 years street homeless But know 6 years clean 6 years no suicidal thoughts or anti psychotic medicines or episodes 1 loving daughter restored to my life 6 years a roof over my head 1 healing heart And a clarity that says maybe I was always meant to be on the outside of the circle Thanks ocs this song got me through some dark days
I've always loved the line "the sunshine pours like wine through my window" little things like that is what great song writers come up with. I know there are better and more poignant lines in their back catalogue but it always makes me wish I had that kind of word talent
They are a very underrated band. But, you know what, I like that. I like that the mainstream population isn’t listening to this and not connecting with it. It feels more personal not being ‘famous’. There’s lots of music like this, sometimes it’s a great thing.
best band of my generation......I was born 1983.....I say this with absolute confidence, one of the few that wouldn't have been out of place in the earlier era's
Really beautiful song. I love playing it on my acoustic. It's quite easy to play, which is good for me, so i play it a lot. Their albums Moseley Shoals and Marchin Already are brilliant and they take me back to a great time in my life. Thanks 🙏
@@seanburrell4870 I think you would be better off googling for tabliture if i was you. I'm not the best at explaining songs. Here's the chords i use. D-A-Bm-G-D-A D-A-BM-G-D-A-G/C-G-A-D Bridge C-G-D C-G-A Sorry i couldn't be more helpful. Take Care man.
@seanburrell4870 it's virtually the same chord progression all the way through. Just watch out for the lyrics which come in late, first verse, " afternoon" comes in as you change to the BM, just catching the last beat of the A. So ///"after" change to BM "noon.....the sunshine..that's the only tricky bit. Hum it, rather than singing it, and you will pick it up straight away. It's a songwriting trick to make the song more interesting. Coming in early or late with vocals on a chord. Lovely song.
@@fuzzfadel6141 welcome to the OCS family my friend. I take back my statement hehe. I'm glad the world knows who OCS are. Keep rocking my friend 🏴
How can this only have 200 thousand views in 4 years. I have seen them four times in the last 20 years and they are the best band I have ever seen live. I have tickets to see them again in December and I can’t wait.
That's the touch of a great band. I heard them on a really cold New Years Eve back home in Edinburgh. I've had God only knows how many women numerous women got married and imagrated and still remember every minute of that gig
From the whole album, this was this the one for me that stuck out like a diamond, yet it never really received the accoladates at the time. Retrospectively it's one of their greatest pieces
Oh boy, you're missing out on a long of great music. Listen to as much 90s indie music. Not the main stream Oasis Blur stuff dig it bit deeper. There's so many bands that are good. It's just OCS do it for me.
@@chrishayworth282 ocs where main stream to in the 90s along with cast, bluetones, charlatans,shed seven that's not really digging deep that's just the good stuff from the main stream !!
Aye, Simon, I grew up listening to you. Would use to play the circle with my friend, she played piano, I played drums , she had the official song book for moasley shoals, never underestimate what you’ve done , this is how it feels. To be small ,
I bought this OCS 'CD" when it was first released and straight away 'The Circle' just mesmerised me. However I never fully understood the meaning of the lyrics. Can someone explain them to me please. It just touched me so much then and now but I still don't fully understand? The official video was full of happy mods enjoying life but the song is very melachonic. Ta
What truly underrated album Mosley Shoals is. Full of great Rolling Stones esq song writing, some amazing vocals and Steve craddocks guitar playing genius!
Absolutely love OCS and this is probably the best version of the circle, so much emotion it makes me cry, definitely a song best sung by Simon on the acoustic guitar 🎸
Love, love, love this. Seen OCS and Simon solo so many times. Looking forward to Moseley Folk Festival and O2 in December. 1D are pretty boys with no soul. OCS were as famous in the nineties. Lets see if 1D last even half as long.
Sums up my life always felt outside the circle always tried to fit in to be cool one of the boys when i should have just been myself and relaxed I'm now 36 and still feel as if they are all talking behind my back paranoid as fuck and still not relaxed in life maybe a mental illness who knows but this song makes sense and that's all that matters #thankgodformentalilness
This is how it was originally written. The Moseley Shoals/single/This Life version is the more commercial version that the record company or producers or whoever wanted.
Sorry but that’s total nonsense, the electric version IS the OCS version, the acoustic (as with most OCS songs) is just the original form Simon wrote it in. I love them both but I’m a sucker for a Cradock solo and the circle has one of his most memorable riffs and best moments on record at the end, well for me at least! There is no compromise with Moseley shoals, that’s four years worth of graft the band captured, a million miles away from any clueless record people.
Saturday Afternoon, the sunshine Pours like wine Through your window And I know Golden June can turn An empty gray Against your window And I feel like I'm on the outside Of the circle If I walk (If I walk, if I walk) By the trees I'll catch the falling leaves If the wind blows But I know (But I know, but I know) All this means Is whiling on the hours Watching side shows And I feel like I'm on the outside Of the circle Will I turn my coat to the rain I don't know But I'm goin' Somewhere I can Warm my bones Fare you well (Fare you, fare you well) Carry me away And sing for those I know upon their birthdays I won't feel like I'm on the outside I won't feel like I'm on the outside I won't feel like I'm on the outside Of the circle
Had tickets to see them years ago at rothes halls. Sold them to a mate, bastard ended up backstage after the gig. Fucking spewing still want to punch fuck oot masel!

Love the acoustic version of The Circle. Ocean Colour Scene is an absolute treasure of a band.
Probably one of the best male singing voices in the last 20yrs 👌🏻
25 years it's more relatable today than it ever was
"And it feels like I'm on the outside of the circle"...
1 broken heart from childhood
Led to
26 years drug addiction (14 heroin)
22 years mental health problems
18 years suicidal thoughts
2 children (1 passed away 😢)
48 years never knowing my father
4 years street homeless
But know
6 years clean
6 years no suicidal thoughts or anti psychotic medicines or episodes
1 loving daughter restored to my life
6 years a roof over my head
1 healing heart
And a clarity that says maybe I was always meant to be on the outside of the circle
Thanks ocs this song got me through some dark days
,well done mate,that takes courage.
@@david1239796 thanks
Enjoy your weekend
well done mate, onwards and upwards

Anthem to my youth. I could listen this all day long. One of the most under rated bands in the UK.
Rando'thol Them and Cast/Bluetones 👍🏻
@@gavincooper8166 none of them are underated in my house ;-)

They sold millions of records. They're not sitting on Bandcamp with 100 listens

A chronically underrated genius.
Everyone is underrated.
Wonderfully written tune, appreciated even more now than back in the day.
Saw ocs do a acoustic gig probably 100 people at the gig, still the best gig I’ve ever been too 💓
That's the touch of a great band. I heard them on a really cold New Years Eve back home in Edinburgh. I've had God only knows how many women numerous women got married and imagrated and still remember every minute of that gig
Love the Inspiral Carpets coda. :)
Bring back the 90s man! Great times, great tunes. . .
This song screws my head up,everytime I here this brings me tears n I don't know why.......
This is probably the best British band, totally undervalued, so so so good
Think most of us agree on 2 word's, 'Beautiful, Poetic'. And I'm straight as an arrow lol. Thanks Simon. 🙂
My absolute favourite version of this truly classic song.
MY FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIME ABSOLUTE CLASS. MODS RULE KEEP THE FAITH.
apart from comedy mods there just funny
From the whole album, this was this the one for me that stuck out like a diamond, yet it never really received the accoladates at the time. Retrospectively it's one of their greatest pieces
my words could not come close to explaining my emotoins on listining to this
beautiful man makes me wanna go back to the mid/late 90s and tell my ex from then that, she is awesome lol
Me too mate
Love the little nod to the inspiral carpets at the end 🤘
Discovered OCS last year from a guy Ritchie film.. Never knew them before, but one of the best bands without a doubt

A guitar and singing is all you need no over the top production. This is real music and I’m outside the circle I don’t want to be a sheep
As I hear this and close my eyes, I can see him sat in a studio...nice studio recording though and thez nowt tong wi dat.

Simon Fowler one of the best singers in the world
Saturday
Afternoon, the sunshine
Pours like wine
Through your window
And I know
Golden June can turn
An empty gray
Against your window
And I feel like
I'm on the outside
Of the circle
If I walk
(If I walk, if I walk)
By the trees
I'll catch the falling leaves
If the wind blows
But I know
(But I know, but I know)
All this means
Is whiling on the hours
Watching side shows
And I feel like
I'm on the outside
Of the circle
Will I turn my coat to the rain
I don't know
But I'm goin'
Somewhere I can
Warm my bones
Fare you well
(Fare you, fare you well)
Carry me away
And sing for those
I know upon their birthdays
I won't feel like
I'm on the outside
I won't feel like
I'm on the outside
I won't feel like
I'm on the outside
Of the circle
He looks very tired, but sounds amazing
Beautiful voice
close to being my favourite song of all time ...
Absolutely awesome pal..... legends without adoubt👍
Beautifully done, perfection!
This song is better acoustic than the album version..
what a great song never gets old.
This is how it feels to be lonely, this is how it feels to be small, this is how it feels that the world means nothing at all
Carpets great tune

Legend.
