Apart from the obvious big names Sabbath, Zepplin, Maiden, Deep Purple, Floyd etc. This is what Britain does really well, indie rock bands. Great reaction and glad you enjoyed it. Take care and keep up the good work it's a joy to watch.
What, this song is 30 years old! Im 55 now and remember this brilliant song, i used to be an alcoholic with drugs addictions until I repented wholeheartedly and received through Gods grace the gift of salvation through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, i truely was blind but now I realise ive been robbed of memory loss, but its what's ahead that counts. Glory to God.
It's so sad that this was their only album. The lead singer was such a perfectionist that they spent months in the studio but couldn't get a sound that satisfied him, and eventually the band split up.
This past March, my wife and I were in Rome, Italy at a park named Parco di Mole Adriana that surrounds Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary. While walking through the park surrounded by trees and street musicians, a performer on a park bench with a guitar was singing "There She Goes." My wife and I started dancing spontaneously in the crisp, Italian air. It was a dream-like moment. That song will always hold a soft spot in my heart.
This track is beautiful. It's jingly jangly upbeat feeling carries echoes of summer in the mid-sixties. The Beatles and the Byrds. The whole album is great too.
It's incredible that a song can repeat the same melody, guitar riff and bassline over and over for 3 minutes and be so good. This song is so simplistic, but it never gets old. There's no verse, chorus, verse, chorus, etc. It's just one continuous chorus. But it's perfect.
Ahh from my home town & not together long enough. The bassist - John Power; went on to form Cast (give them a listen) the Gallagher brothers (Oasis) were massive fans, so no more to be said really. Sometimes the smaller the orange the sweeter the juice....
It was featured in Mike Myers' movie "So I Married An Axe Murderer" (1993), and then the band Sixpence None the Richer also did a cover of the song in 1997. That's my guess as to why you're getting a 90s nostalgia vibe and find it somewhat familiar.
Late 80’s UK indie rock like The La’s, House of Love, Stone Roses, etc.. That influenced 90’s Brit Pop supertars.. You should react to these bands too.
One of the most perfectly-crafted pop songs ever. The whole album (their debut) is brilliant. If you love this you should definitely check out: THE SHINS "New Slang," XTC "Then She Appeared," GUIDED BY VOICES "The Best Of Jill Hives," PERFECT POP.
This song was huge in the days before the internet, meaning it was all over the radio, MTV, TV, and soundtracks. Im an old man, but whenever I hear it, I get Dawson's Creek vibes. Pure 90s for me.
One of my favourite bands this tune was used in numerous movies including The Parent Trap (1998), So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993) and Fever Pitch (1997).
This was The Las biggest hit. They have a video for this song, check it out sometime, came out in the late '80s. Also videos for "Way Out" ( late '80s), "Timeless Melody" (late '80s), "Feelin" (minor hit, early '90s). They were part of the BritPop explosion of the late '80s - early '00s. Peak years were mid-late '90s. BritPops the new wave of new wave. Pretty much alternative music, Indie rock from the UK. It varied in musical styles. Some were jangle pop, some were alt rock, some were trip-hop, some were shoegaze/psychedelic, some were post-punk, etc. Many of the bands were influenced by The Beatles, The Kinks, etc older bands from the UK. Also, it was the more upbeat, cheerful side of alt rock form the UK as oppose to the dark, gloomy, sad side of alt rock, grunge from the US. Sounds nostalgic to yall, because it's been on many movies and TV shows during the '90s and '00s lol. Also, the music style is jangle pop, also called college rock (played a lot on college radio stations) . Like R.E.M., The Byrds, Lemonheads, The Beatles, The Smiths, Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments, The Bangles, The Smithereens, The Hollies, etc. The jangly guitars, poppy rock. Which was prominent during the '60s. Old school feel.
I think the song clip was in the Parent Trap film with Lindsay Lohan, when Hal pretends to be Annie and arrives in London, riding in the car on the way to meet her mom for the first time, and the camera shows several iconic scenes including Big Ben. I think this song is played during that scene.
It was used alot in TV and movies back then. It has appeared on several film soundtracks, including The Parent Trap; Fever Pitch; Girl, Interrupted; Cold Case; The Adventures of Pete and Pete; Snow Day; and So I Married an Axe Murderer.
I’ve heard this song in many Different things but where I remember it most is in a Mike Myers Movie, So I married an axe murderer. I love this song. Although, I know this is an 80’s song. I personally attach it to the 90’s and remember it very fondly.
They were a late 80s early 90s band from Liverpool and the singer songwriter, Lee Mavers, was a outsider maverick who rejected the music industry and did one album, this song on it and a single - then he quit more or less and went back to being a painter and decorator, as the legend goes. On the album, many songs were very 'underproduced' with a raw acoustic style, this track is one of the fuller more produced tracks.
My mate sent me the LA's album with this track on around 1990 or early 91..I was on deployment in the army at the time and played it none stop...Good Times..
Hey guys what's up! I've loved this song since the first time I heard it. The melody just sticks in your head. It's so catchy. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
Lex has the most beautiful, expressive, and animated face throughout all of your reviews as well as great couch dancing moves :) Brad, you're a great deeper counterpoint. Together you guys are magic and this is what makes your channel so special
The movie you are thinking of is “So I Married an Axe Murderer” a hilarious flick with Mike Meyers pre-Austin Powers. It plays over the opening credits. There was a brief period in the early ‘90s where 60’s style baroque pop came back big time, and this band is a prime example.
The song has been in a few films and TV shows. If you guys ever get stuck again trying to remember where you first heard any song go to the song's Wikipedia page and near the bottom of the page it usually lists what media the song in question has featured in.
From WikiP: It has appeared on several film soundtracks, including The Parent Trap; Fever Pitch; Girl, Interrupted; Cold Case; The Adventures of Pete and Pete; Snow Day; and So I Married an Axe Murderer (where both the original and The Boo Radleys version appear). It also opens the "Pilot" episode of Gilmore Girls. Sixpence None the Richer's version of the song was used in Family Guy and the commercials for birth-control company Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo from 2004-2005.[55] The song was also used for the opening montage of the first episode of Channel 4's drama series This Is England '90, which also featured outgoing Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's resignation speech.[56] The song was used frequently for slow-motion scenes with Nori in the U.S. TV series Me, Myself & I.
This Song is an encapsulation of so many styles of music that was around at the time the song came out and allot of stuff from before aswell. And it is a really good represntation of British music at its finest. Also the debate of this song has been for a while if its about someone who the singer is helplessly in love with or in fact the drug Heroin. The Lyrics do a good job in making not too obvious which of the two it is by being very subtle. Which every it is the listener can make up their own mind about it.
PURPORTEDLY about heroin lad, I know it's a good story but I think like most songs they're throw away shite lyrics to fit a great melody. Noel Gallagher has constantly spoke of his lyrics of how fans THINK they "realllly meaaan sooomething maaan" when they actually don't. There can be collections of thoughts and ideas all coming at once but if anybody actually sits down and writes a song around "something" I'd say they should be writing Christmas adverts for fkn Tesco or something.
This could certainly be called early Britpop, but it's also a particularly great example of the "powerpop" tradition that has been an undercurrent in popular music since the 1960s with records like "The kids are alright." by the Who, "Look through any window." by the Hollies, "Go All the Way" and "I want to be with you" by the Raspberries, "Couldn't I just tell you?" by Todd Rundgren, "Starry Eyes" by The Records, "Girl of My Dreams" by Bram Tchaikovsky, "Till I Hear it from You" by the Gin Blossoms and many more. You could even throw in "Dance the night away." by Van Halen and "Kirie Eleison" by Mr. Mr. as well.
This is back when mainstream record labels might actually still court a band that could've shared a bill with The Byrds back in 1964. The early 90s was so broadsweeping in variety when it came to rock bands. I miss that.
This song is about heroin. The record label made the band participate in a music video made to make it look like it was about a girl -But it's about smack. If you read the lyrics it's fairly obvious.
@@Falcons8455 That's an interesting perspective on it. If you watch the music video I also think the way the singer looks is a bit of a clue. Not to be an asshole, but that looks like a guy who wears long sleeves a lot. Hope you manage to stay strong. Good luck.
@@rtmis1 Googled it and yes, the songwriter has denied the heroin theme. Could also be a thing someone might not want to flat out admit to. I'm open to that the more innocent version might be true, but I don't see how it would be such a great disservice to the song if it was about heroin. Ultimately, it's a beautiful song and it doesn't really matter, but there are plenty of classic pop/rock songs written on dark subjects.
This was used in the first episode of Gilmore Girls, which also featured in a later season - Skid Row's Sebastian Bach in a frequent role. Yeah that's right, I'm a Gilmore Guy!
Don't know if you've already done them, but The Stone Roses are one the UKs greatest bands. I wanna be adored., Fools Gold, any of their singles are great.
The La's were great. Pre-dated "Britpop" really. And weren't part of the Manchester/baggy thing either. Probably had more in common with some of the 80s indie bands like The Icicle Works (they briefly "shared" a drummer) - a very consciously 60s thing, that you often get from Liverpool (I guess because of the Beatles and so on) but without the darker post-punk thing that a lot of 80s Liverpool bands had. They made this great indie pop album but then just couldn't get it together enough to make another. And the line-up kept changing all the time. John Power (the bass player) went on to form Cast who also had some good songs. I was mid-teens when I first heard this and assumed it was a straightforward love song - listening to it now, the heroin references are fairly obvious.
You guys i suppose are around your late 20's you may have seen the movie Snow Day where there was a cover version of the song in the movie, that's where i first heard the song then discovered the original much later.

This whole album is a belter! Been on my playlist for the last 30 😳😳 years!
Same here as well, the scary thing is how quickly those years have gone by .
Yeah, every song. No filler 💯
What, this song is 30 years old! Im 55 now and remember this brilliant song, i used to be an alcoholic with drugs addictions until I repented wholeheartedly and received through Gods grace the gift of salvation through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, i truely was blind but now I realise ive been robbed of memory loss, but its what's ahead that counts.
Glory to God.
It's so sad that this was their only album. The lead singer was such a perfectionist that they spent months in the studio but couldn't get a sound that satisfied him, and eventually the band split up.
And it's on my play list too, it's an absolute belter of an album 👍
A 90s song that sounded like a 60s song from day 1. It sounded like it had always been in existence, just waiting for it to be released.
I think that it was originally released in '88 or '89.
@@liverush24 well close enough.
It's like Wilson Phillips "hold on" being a 90' song.
It'll always be 80s to me though
Dude you stole my words!! Preach
This past March, my wife and I were in Rome, Italy at a park named Parco di Mole Adriana that surrounds Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary.

Cheers man, that sounds great
Great story. Lee Mavers has no idea the joy he’s brought to peoples life
Imagine a country as beautiful as Italy with music as good as British music.
I love this song, I’m 3 years clean today. This band really helped.
This track is beautiful. It's jingly jangly upbeat feeling carries echoes of summer in the mid-sixties. The Beatles and the Byrds. The whole album is great too.
Amazing comment
This was used in a bunch of 90s movies including So I Married an Axe Murderer. It was also covered by the band Sixpence None the a Richer.
So I Married an Axe Murderer is very underrated.
That's where I heard it. Sixpence None the Richer. It was driving me crazy. That's why I read the comments.
This song was actually used twice in “So I Married An Axe Murderer”. This version and a version by the Boo Radleys.
But, I think the version they used in the movie was a cover by the Boo Radleys.
@@kylewoolsey6635 Pretty sure both versions appeared. Las version may have been over end titles or something.
This started the 90s in the UK. Very influential track.

@@Dreyno Yeah, shoegaze era Radley’s did a great cover..
Also in the Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan (as a kid).
Another great Liverpool band

Another great band fron Liverpool, good live
Another "Brit Pop" group that are somewhat different are Kula Shaker, maybe try their hit song Govinda?
Wife here..This song was covered in the late 90's and was a HUGE hit..That's probably why you feel the songs familiar!
I think this is in every single 90's rom com

Dave Edmunds "Girls Talk" too, although that was from the seventies.

I'd add The Chills "Heavenly Pop Hit", which lives up to its title.

"Timeless Melody" is a great song!
Sixpence None the Richer did a cover of this song that was on the first Austin Powers movie soundtrack.
That's right. And it was shite.
Brad & Lex, 5 songs of their song charted in the UK, this one in New Zealand and this and one other in the US.
You just reminded me to listen to this album. Looking Glass, last track......superb.
You are getting into my jam. This is my 80s alternative/punk that I loved.
There’s just something very, very remarkably wonderful about this song…

We have a home video of my brother singing and dancing to this song when he was about five. Whenever I hear it I think of him.
It was used in the 1993 Mike Myers film "So, I married an axe murderer" and also the 1996 film "Fever Pitch" with Colin Firth.
One of the bands that inspired Noel Gallahger of Oasis apparantly.

I always thought this song was by The Lemonheads, but found out around 1999 it wasn't. Kinda sounds like Evan Dando...ish.
to me this is the song that kicks off the journey that is Gilmore Girls
Seen them in the early 90s at Leeds United football stadium and in the uk we call it Indie music they were outstanding great reaction 👌🏻
the sweetest happiest sounding tune about drug use ever written
Ode to Heroin apparently

'Liverpool accents that could strip paint' was a line I remember reading about this band. Great song.

Probably had more in common with some of the 80s indie bands like The Icicle Works (they briefly "shared" a drummer) - a very consciously 60s thing, that you often get from Liverpool (I guess because of the Beatles and so on) but without the darker post-punk thing that a lot of 80s Liverpool bands had. They made this great indie pop album but then just couldn't get it together enough to make another. And the line-up kept changing all the time. John Power (the bass player) went on to form Cast who also had some good songs.
I was mid-teens when I first heard this and assumed it was a straightforward love song - listening to it now, the heroin references are fairly obvious.
Has a drug-like quality. Hard to pin down. A tune in a million.
Used in the pilot episode of the Gilmore Girls
Another song I’ve been singing the wrong lyrics to for years 😬
Been forever. I'm sad to say I've not heard this in decades.
You guys i suppose are around your late 20's you may have seen the movie Snow Day where there was a cover version of the song in the movie, that's where i first heard the song then discovered the original much later.
