@Arne Nilsen if you think it should be unpopular then why are you here listening to it ? :| and fyi the roses were popular and this song was popular, it’s just not got many views on youtube...
@@johnreid8851 just got or kicked out of one last week for smoking straights . This was in Loughborough. I freaking Adore the Roses. Good luck on your sobriety
I first heard this song on a compilation cassette from my girlfriend in 1989, being from Manchester I couldn't believe how good they sounded with the jangle guitars and songs full of swagger. Unreal memories
It is a song about a murder, not saying a place is where you belong. Listen to the lyrics. Why would a band from Manchester describe Liverpool as a paradise? Cop on, kid.
@@olivercromwell3575 No one here has said the song is about Liverpool or that they're describing it as a paradise. Ian Brown was writing about where he grew up in Manchester, where the Mersey flows into
Reni's backing vocals on this are off the scale. Beatles (here comes the sun), beach boys harmonies. I'm incapable of loving this song anymore. This song gives me a euphoric buzz 30 odd year after the first time I heard it.
What is it about that area of England that it produced so any fantastic bands over the years? Love the Mersey beat! Born in the North but moved to Canada as a child. Life long United supporter. Got my kids listening to this now.
A good parent if ever I see one. I'm from South London but the smiths, these geniuses Oasis the charlatans and many more from the north west are the absolute bollocks.
You mean as opposed to all of the other English areas that produced other fantastic legendary bands too? London perhaps .. its not so much Manchester mate as the whole of England..our beautiful little country gave birth to the greatest bands of all time ..stones ,beatles ,floyd ,sabbath, maiden ,cream and Eric Clapton. The mighty led zep ,pistols ,the jam , Smith's and morrisey .Elton John (early stuff) queen ..I am going to stop before I go on all day lol ..musically us English were gifted ..England is tiny but damn if we didn't rule the musical world ..now its shit tho .
@@PeteK147 that sounds great. I've been a roses fan since they released made of stone back in late 80s so I want to visit for definite..york is quite a way for me so maybe later in the year hopefully

The Stone Roses - Mersey Paradise (Lyrics) River splashes against the rocks And I scale a slope I hope the tracks won't Lead me down to dark black pits or Places where we fall to bits If she were there I'd hold her down I'll push her under while she drowns and Couldn't breathe and call for air She doesn't care for my despair Or is it me? Or the one that's wrong You see it in the sea River cool's where I belong In my Mersey paradise As I stare an oil wheel comes Sailing by and I feel like Growing fins and falling in With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I'll Swim along without a care I'm eating sand when I need air you can Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll Wolf me down for tea tonight I want to be Where the drownings are You see it in the sea River cools where I belong In my Mersey paradise I want to be Where the drownings are You see it in the sea River cools where I belong Oh yeah I want to be Where the drownings are You see it in the sea River cools where I belong In my Mersey paradise
I paid 50p and got a free bottle of Holsten Pils to see their first performance at the Ritz in Manchester on a Monday night. They only sang about 4 songs, they hadn't written anymore at the time...

Love this - thanks. It's great to have lyrics. When I listen, I hear "you see in this heat, river cools where I belong" though. And if you listen to the demo version - another section of the chorus sounds like "I want to creep, where the drownings are".
Maravillosa letra yo le veo cierto paralelismo con creaciones de Paul Weller con los Jam en los 70/80 Wasteland por ejemplo. Pero ésta de Stone roses es más rítmica
better than velocity girl, even better than sally cinnamon and probably better than anything anyone ever recorded. and yes it IS a b side. so much genious will hardly ever appear again.
I used to wonder why the Roses were singing about Mersey Paradise till my mate said, no you pillock, the river mersey runs through south manchester and there are fields and you can get away from all the shite! I used to think Ian was singing Liverpool is where I belong, but the lyric is River's cool where I belong. Here's the lyrics! Mersey Paradise Lyrics River splashes against the rocks And I scale a slope, I hope the tracks won't Lead me down to dark black pits Or places where we fall to bits If she were there I'd hold her down I'll push her under while she drowns And couldn't breathe and call for air She doesn't care for my despair Or is it me?

As far as I can tell the lyrics at the end are "Ah,1,2,3. Gotta drown this song. You see in this heat. River cools where I belong". I suspect the person who put this official video up is copying the wrong lyrics posted on the internet. Sounds nothing like "where the drownings are" to me. It's "song" to rhyme with "belong". Here's Reni's in-ear monitor feed to provide some evidence, apart from Ian holding his fingers up from one to three in order when playing live - ruclips.net/video/33TFDfu1q3o/видео.html
I live in Blackpool but come from manc stock life long united supporter... just got potted by the mrs of 4 years for no fucking reason and now I listen to this and I kinda wanna meet a scouse bird so this song makes sense... I dunno you tell me lads
One of the biggest misinterpretations ever in musical lyrics. The stretch of the river Mersey in this song is the one that passes thro Greater Manchester.

Working class. Thats why those Northern areas have always produced phenomenal artists.

The Stone Roses - Mersey Paradise (Lyrics)
River splashes against the rocks
And I scale a slope I hope the tracks won't
Lead me down to dark black pits or
Places where we fall to bits
If she were there I'd hold her down
I'll push her under while she drowns and
Couldn't breathe and call for air
She doesn't care for my despair
Or is it me?
Or the one that's wrong
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
As I stare an oil wheel comes
Sailing by and I feel like
Growing fins and falling in
With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I'll
Swim along without a care
I'm eating sand when I need air you can
Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll
Wolf me down for tea tonight
I want to be
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
I want to be
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cools where I belong
Oh yeah
I want to be
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cools where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
Best Roses song hands down
Heaven in your ear
Perfect!

Masterpiece.

One of the best guitarists and drummers in the world. Manui great and swagger of ian.
If you love the Roses this song should be tattooed on your brain 1 of the best
Beautiful
My favourite roses song
słucham i się chce żyć to jest to co mnie paraliżuje motywuje
This song gives me 60s music vibes, although its from the 80s.
Seen them at webley stadium this year it was best day ever had in 2017
Was there as well ✌✌✌✌🇬🇧
Yeah love Webley, webley stadium is cool, Webley stadium is the place to be
I was supposed to be there but got a back injury last minute
Fact, England have never lost a match at webley stadium or drawn or won, or even played
Better in late 80s and 90s
60's pop/Rock and Merseybeat vibe
I met ian brown myself seen them at Manchester unbelievable band ❤

So are these the official lyrics to the song now? I've seen so many different versions I don't know what to believe anymore.
These are official lyrics of Mersey Paradise mate

One of my favourite songs for 30+ years, and I only just realised how dark the lyrics are lol
Another level of music ❤️
Best English band ever mate

Surely it goes through liverpool

Yes technically correct, Ian Brown wrote it about neither the Mersey in Liverpool or Manchester but about its flow through his hometown of Warrington
