Obviously some people don't even understand the meaning to this song. It's simple: It's about wanting to be in a better time in the world when things were more simple and we weren't corrupted by the media and the net. I don't even listen to music like this much but i really love this song.
@@krmickey9764 She’s singing a different version to the recorded versions so i doubt it. Unless she recorded specifically for this performance in which case why bother.
@@ToraJutsu01 fair enough, I just thought that was a TOTP rule (it also stands to reason that many artists that are more pop-oriented tend to have that enforced by their management, which also isn’t a dig at anyone, just a reality)
@@ToraJutsu01 That's often what they'd do on these shows, particularly if they're live. Record a version in the room, then lip-sync it for the live broadcast. They do it because it's too hard mixing all the different bands on the fly to a live broadcast audience.
@@ToraJutsu01 how is this different to the recorded original version? I’m not trying to sound an ass I just genuinely thought this is the same as the original recorded version. I know she released an updated version but this performance sounds just like the original recorded version.
This song is amazing. I only know of it cuz it played ONE time on my radio station. If it wasn't for that i wouldn't know about it. and everything she says is completely true!!
I used to say that too, "I was born to late..." but I realized that music isn't only the shitty noise that you hear on TV. There's still good artist nowadays, you just have to find them :)
I love this song, it express my deepest wishes. It is the ringtone for my sms, so I can hear it every day, and believe me, I always sing with Sandi. Thanks to a big talent!
Dear Sandi, you are not born too late. Everyone can be a punk rocker, anytime. There is no one stopping you. It's all about getting up your arse and take control of your life.
Would this be as amazing now as it was then? Yeah it should be as the lyrics are so clever and spot on maybe some people nowadays need to go back to the times she was singing about then they would really know what life was like before all the internet social networks and mobiles and innocence where we could still be children and yeah a world that doesn't care is definitely spot on
Okay now this just shows how much talent this woman has! I have never seen a performance acapella with the beating of a box and hand claps for instruments. She sounded absolutely astonishing! She's soo good and yet in the U.S. no one knows who she is.
Punkrocker with flowers in my hair in 77 and 69 revolution was in the air 69 Flowerpower--> flowers in the hair 77 --> Punkrock became famous both periods stood for some kind of revolution and she just draws a picture of how she wants to combine both..
As much as the image of punk rocker with flowers in hair strikes me, I still think that this is great song, because it essentially says everything I crave for.
from the reply of hanzkydubbs: "yeah but shes making a general statement about revolutionaries. thats why she says punk rocker with flowers in her hair, in 77 and 69. 77 being the beginning of punk rock and 69 being the time of hippies and all that." there you go.
Fan of Sandi Thom? Can get to Cardiff Coal Exchange on the 20th March for £7.50. Sandi will be headlining local unsigned talent... for tickets and more information please go to the Live and Unsigned website.
Lol at the comments saying she's bad having -5 to -10 and the comments saying she's good having +1 or more. Is disliking something not allowed anymore?
Also, wanting flowers in her hair is a kind of specific request of her own. She is gonna be the kind of Punk rocker that wears flowers. her own kind of Rocker. :3
c s a very rare n precious gem....m a metalhead bt ds chick blws m awy.her voice s mesmerizin n cmfrtin..c desrvs mch mre.... dis s wat singin sud mean.
@1ADScout there is nothing in the world which has got only one meaning, its about what you feel when you hear a song or experience anything else. for me there is no past or future, just the moment ... and what i feel listinening to this song and thinking about it is, not to want to be in a "better" time but to work on the moment, those hippis didnt think everything was great, they wanted to change something and had the power to stand up against the establishment :P - fight for a better world
I heard this on TV while on holiday in Kos almost 20 years ago. Super clever lyrics from someone so young
this sound almost exactly like the recorded version. Simply amazing
Not completely. But it comes realy close
You mean terrible
this is flawless.. might as well be the studio recording. very impressive
110% terrible
im still rocking this jam in 2015
2022 here.
love the lyrics
"i was born too late into a world that doesn't care"
LOVE IT!
LoL I'm from the U.S.
Glad to know there are ppl in America who know and love her and her music.
This song is one of My Favourite World Very Important Piece of Music Artistic Work/Creations/Expressions!!! God Bless you Sandi!

Diese Lied ist einfach nur geil, es hebt die Stimmung und verbreitet eigentlich bei jedem Menschen gute Laune c...gruß von mir und Oli
i thought they could only sing like that in a record studio wow
Bethany Davis I’m pretty sure every TOTP performance was lip-synched (not discounting Sadie at all, I just think that was required for the program

... einfach nur genial!
She has got such an amazing voice. It's such a shame that she's not more famous.
I used to say that too, "I was born to late..." but I realized that music isn't only the shitty noise that you hear on TV. There's still good artist nowadays, you just have to find them :)
I could listen to her all day! She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
One word- WOOOW THAT WAS AMAZING! 💎
I love this song, it express my deepest wishes. It is the ringtone for my sms, so I can hear it every day, and believe me, I always sing with Sandi. Thanks to a big talent!

Okay now this just shows how much talent this woman has! I have never seen a performance acapella with the beating of a box and hand claps for instruments. She sounded absolutely astonishing! She's soo good and yet in the U.S. no one knows who she is.

I wish I was a punk with flowers in my hair? lol you make an excellent point!
@skate1girl I've seen her live and she has a natural talent. Music is in that woman's blood!
Punkrocker with flowers in my hair
in 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
69 Flowerpower--> flowers in the hair
77 --> Punkrock became famous
both periods stood for some kind of revolution
and she just draws a picture of how she wants to combine both..
omg i though mabye she couldnt sing as well as the album but O M G! Dude, no difference. thats what you really look for in a singer
Stars today sound nothing like they do on the CDs when they sing live
She sounds exactally the same
We need stars like her
iz this not an incredible piece of music?
what a music piece of art...no studio tricks here!...
very original artist
Cool....
it doesn't matter, she sings perfectly
As much as the image of punk rocker with flowers in hair strikes me, I still think that this is great song, because it essentially says everything I crave for.
I like this version WAY better than the official video~!~
Great :D
from the reply of hanzkydubbs: "yeah but shes making a general statement about revolutionaries. thats why she says punk rocker with flowers in her hair, in 77 and 69. 77 being the beginning of punk rock and 69 being the time of hippies and all that."
