What a time to be a teenager in the 90's, this song is the epitomy of the British music scene in the mid-late 90's. It captures time, it holds it still in the minds of all those who were fortunate enough to live the experience. Hot summers, friends, carefree youth.
This song reminds me when I literally upped sticks one day, having had enough of the situation I was in, and moved to Cornwall to start a new life. It was one of the most spontaneous and bravest things I've ever done. I moved here with a carload of stuff and a cat. All done in 6 days.
When I look back at the 90s, I’m sure I speak for many of us who were teenagers then that we didn’t fully appreciate how great and transformative a time it was for British music and culture. Instead of looking enviously at what the 60s were, the 90s were every bit as cool. Songs like this epitomise the time and the feelings❤
Summer of '98. I was 16 and was like usual the whole summer on my mountain house. I spent every single day stucked to the radio hoping to hear this song and the damn speakers to finally say who sang this song. 3 months later I was able to buy the album. Pure passion. God bless live before internet.
I was 16 too. (Feb '82). Didn't know what to make of Embrace first when I heard them but slowly grew on me. Today this is one of my favourite songs, stirs up crazy emotions.
This is amazing, I was 12 at the time, but everything else was just like you’ve described it, from the mountain house to being stuck to the radio every day. It’s beautiful and moving to discover we all share something. I hope you’re doing great now!
@@martacoghetto9484 Nice! Global world Marta! (ma non eravamo lontani mi sa lol) ;) I'm great thanks but I miss those struggling teenage years sometimes
Bought this last year on vinyl after playing it constantly in the late 90s , always my go to , turned 50 and it transported me back to those days , I would change a few things if I could go back but the rest no way enjoy it while you can
I used to play this again and again on the jukebox in the local pub back in 98, it must have driven the landlord crazy..... I wish I could go back in time and play it one last time.
I was expecting my first child when this was in the charts. Now I’m a grandad and listening again. Just popped into my head. Amazing tune. Amazing times. The world seemed so much more positive back then.
Is now the right time to say this is the authentic sound of 90s music. Heartfelt, sensitive, empathetic. Oasis? Never got the hype there. They couldn't touch this - ever
music like this makes me glad to have been a teen in the 90's........so many memories...some good ,some bad...i would not trade any of them.....excellent song.
So much happens in all our lives, ups and downs, beginnings and ends. But we can always come back to songs like this one, and pretend for a few minutes that the clock has been turned back to a time when the world made sense.
i am the fruit and veg guy in the video! we filmed this at the London city airport the day before it opened for business. my scene was filmed in Sheperds Bush market
@CareBare Hair.. i was out very late the night before with my dear friend Mark Speight (RIP😪) and went straight there in my suit.. they gave me that crap to wear to look like a fruit and veg guy. 🧔
Ha ha! By far from one of the best bands ever. Decent song, shite band. Try The Clash, New Order or The Smiths before you start talking about the best.
Vale anche per me! Io stavo ore alla radio cercando la stazione che la trasmettesse per registrarla con le vecchie cassette... Estate 1998 avevo 16 anni e cambiol la mia vita :)

I am in Indonesia. I like this song and video. nice song and video. I like Embrace songs and music. Danny McNamara have good voice. I like Danny McNamara voice. Embrace keep playing music. forever. I hope, one day Embrace come and concert in Indonesia (My country I live). greeting from Indonesia. thank you.
I'm actually surprised that this video hasn't had more views because (a) its a sweet song and (b) I remember it being one of those omnipresent Brit Pop tunes in my youth. Okay, not as omnipresent as Blur or Oasis but still widely played. Admittedly, maybe its just nostalgia but this song still makes me tear up whenever I hear it playing.
This reminds of the breakup of my first girlfriend back in 1998. This track was all I listened too at the time. Listening to it brings back so many memories. Still sad hearing it now
Che ricordi!!!! Avevo 20 anni!!!!!!!! come si fa a non pensare a bei tempi ascoltando questo fantastico pezzo che mi porterò nel cuore per sempre............ UN ABBRACCIO!!!!!!
I used to watch this video on a local TV station all the time in '98/'99 but I didn't know the band's name or song name. Whenever I tried to remember about this song, I got it confused with a Coldplay song. Recently I rediscovered one of my old mix tapes where I used to record random music off the radio and this song was on it. I Shazam'd it and voila!
..had been broke up from my long-term girlriend a couple of weeks when this song came out - thought the lyrics were a sign that i should try to get back with her has they seemed to fit the situation - thank God she turned me down, funny as that sounds she stopped us both making a huge mistake as i found true happiness and i believe she has too, has we'd in all honesty outgrown each other, shame we're not friends but i wish her only well & happiness for the future, take care Debbie xx
Saw Embrace twice when I was a kid, both times at the Brixton Academy. Was in the front row singing my heart out on each occasion. This particular song will always have a special significance for me though, as it was playing the first time I pulled a bird at a house party! Love to everyone out there still listening to this great band x
hai ragione zio..io ero in seconda media ed andavo a fumare di nascosto dietro alle giostre di paese!! mi da i brividi riascoltare questa canzone piu' di 10 anni dopo... altri tempi erano!!

Hey buddy it was everything ❤ 😄
Life was full off joy then no doom and gloom lifes so sad now in this hate filled world
I was 17 in 1998. I couldn't agree more!
Best time ever !
Just got a massive rush then thinking about it !
💥❤️🇬🇧
World has gone mad since
I am 42 now, this sing makes me feel 18 again, such a beautiful underrated song
I was 42 eight months ago. I'm 43 now. It doesn't make me feel 18 but it sure hits me in the feels

Well said . Time Machine we go half ???? 😢😢😢😢
Very true 👍
They were an amazing 10 years
I understand Xactly what you're saying.
I didn't know how good it really was back then. Only for fleeting moments that were over far too quickly
My 19 year old son says he would love to have been born in 1976 like his mum!

I'm an old mod of 78 and I think 90s music was some of the best.
90’s truly was the best era for music 😍
certainly better than the bloody Who...no to sound ungrateful
Who knew Jimmy from Emmerdale used to be a copper 😂 absolute anthem, reminds me of a better time. Love Embrace 👊🏻
Emmerdale
Chief Super at Barton Street as well, back in the day!
Well said my friend 👊
Even now at 43,I love this song..I wanna come back to what I know.
Me too...but I'm still looking
Same here ..Great song From my teens up here in Yorkshire
At 38 still want to go back to what I know.
Here here
@@paredescax just turned 37 don’t know what I knew but I do know I want to go back to what I know.
Embrace should have had more recognition over the years, quality band 👌
Bought this last year on vinyl after playing it constantly in the late 90s , always my go to , turned 50 and it transported me back to those days , I would change a few things if I could go back but the rest no way enjoy it while you can
I used to play this again and again on the jukebox in the local pub back in 98, it must have driven the landlord crazy..... I wish I could go back in time and play it one last time.
Wish I could be there to sing along with it. Class song.
Me too
Such an under appreciated band. Superb song this. They have some absolute belters
To be honest they were pretty shit apart from this one.
Mind you it's good to see jimmy from emmerdale in the video.
I was expecting my first child when this was in the charts. Now I’m a grandad and listening again. Just popped into my head. Amazing tune. Amazing times. The world seemed so much more positive back then.
Is now the right time to say this is the authentic sound of 90s music. Heartfelt, sensitive, empathetic. Oasis? Never got the hype there. They couldn't touch this - ever
One of the best anthems of the 90's. Respect, Embrace.
Video really hits home, and makes me emotional. Wish I could drop everything and meet up with my friends from the past that I haven't seen in years.
I've come to accept that they were not really my friends
music like this makes me glad to have been a teen in the 90's........so many memories...some good ,some bad...i would not trade any of them.....excellent song.
Jimmy from Emmerdale as the copper, fantastic!! 👊👍
So much happens in all our lives, ups and downs, beginnings and ends. But we can always come back to songs like this one, and pretend for a few minutes that the clock has been turned back to a time when the world made sense.

So true 👍
Spot on .
Ladies and gentlemen: the magic of Brit Pop years. Pure and simple.
And gone forever. We still have the tunes but kids these days don't have a clue
i am the fruit and veg guy in the video! we filmed this at the London city airport the day before it opened for business. my scene was filmed in Sheperds Bush market
no way! thats amazing
How much were the tomatoes?
@@martinward7239 they were free after i left the stall. Lol.
@@tannerlondon1 Hahahahaaa. Nice one
@CareBare Hair.. i was out very late the night before with my dear friend Mark Speight (RIP😪) and went straight there in my suit.. they gave me that crap to wear to look like a fruit and veg guy. 🧔
I moved to London in 97......and found a myriad of sounds coming out from many cool record shops....Happy days...
One of the best bands and yet so underrated! Sometimes I really do not understand the public.
Me neither, commercial music for tone deaf masses.
Ha ha! By far from one of the best bands ever. Decent song, shite band. Try The Clash, New Order or The Smiths before you start talking about the best.
Mi Ke I love the Smiths too.
Lulu Mari .....me too darlin..!
Lulu Mari well they don't market themselves like other bands cos they are happy doing their own thing, also they only do small gigs.
most underrated band in history of music
This was such a great tune from the 90s, always remembered to this day, seeing and hearing January 2025! 🎉😊
Brilliant days in my life were the late 90's
Yep, happy memories for me too.
Same
The best
Amazing how many bands their best ever song is from their debut album. This is definitely one of them (imo), love this song
The album is in my top 10 of all time, cannot believe it is more widely appreciated, other peoples loss, I play this album every month!!
The memories are there
I miss the 90's :) Loved these guys, shed seven, gene etc. brilliant
2021, times are different but embrace isn't... Still quality 👌
Seen these in Glastonbury in the 90s absolute class
I miss this band had the pleasure of seeing them live twice.......sadly gone are the days of such beautiful music from real talented british bands
Brings back so many memories,one of the most underrated bands in my opinion
Embrace still never got the recognition they deserved back int day
si si... canzone che ricorda vecchi tempi. 1998. grande anno.
Un album molto bello...con orchestra sinfonica.
Vale anche per me! Io stavo ore alla radio cercando la stazione che la trasmettesse per registrarla con le vecchie cassette... Estate 1998 avevo 16 anni e cambiol la mia vita :)
One of my all time favourite groups, so under rated for what they have done, some epic anthems, end of..
I feel like this song is about a spiritual awakening
I have had this line in my head most of my adult life on a loop.. never realised it was Embrace❤
Timeless masterpiece.
90's - The greatest
Best music of my life. No more words needed.
What a time.🙌
Soy de Costa Rica. Nunca había escuchado éste buen grupo inglés. He pasado todo el día oyéndolos, y me parecen excelentes. Aún tocan?
Great taste! Yes, they're still playing and still great.
i bought the album way back i was in my teens. now i am 41 it is getting better everytime listening to this. a fan here in the philippines.
One of the best songs of all time :)
Glorious...one of the best britpop anthems.
panos climber was a bit late for Britpop mate..
Well it was released in the very late 90s so you could say it is britpop.

Some of the best music I've ever heard was made in the 90's.
Im 13 now and this has been a great song since, well, forever
This song brings out all my emotions. this song is awesome... take it easy.

What a time to be alive 90s 🥳👊💙😎🍻 it had the lot
Carefree days of youth. Oh how I long for those days again
I AM LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!! xx see you at Hardwick Live!
Questo video l'avrò visto migliaia di volte...ed è strano come sia diverso l'effetto che fa rivedendolo dopo anni!
Time to enjoy the song again! Music heals the soul...
A great song, straight from the heart. Whether its the most original or complicated isnt important. It tugs at your heartstrings
Those were the days .
Of my youth

Okay, not as omnipresent as Blur or Oasis but still widely played. Admittedly, maybe its just nostalgia but this song still makes me tear up whenever I hear it playing.
"Space n' time" by the Verve kinda does the same to me - was a big Embrace fan bk in the day.
This reminds of the breakup of my first girlfriend back in 1998. This track was all I listened too at the time. Listening to it brings back so many memories. Still sad hearing it now
Holmfirth sits ready for this belter on Thursday night!!! ❤
I remember seeing these at Glastonbury on a Sunday afternoon, can't remember what year, they were blowing away by the size of the crowd
Che ricordi!!!! Avevo 20 anni!!!!!!!! come si fa a non pensare a bei tempi ascoltando questo fantastico pezzo che mi porterò nel cuore per sempre............ UN ABBRACCIO!!!!!!
I worshipped this song in 1998. Even had it on a mix tape. But i never saw the video till today and it is the strangest music video ever.
Wow ain't herd this for tonks,loved it way back,love it now 🎉

This song came on the radio today and its the first time ive heard it in at least 20 years. Blast from the past.
I miss the 90s these guys and the verve was the best bands ever
No they weren't it was The Stone Roses and The Happy Mondays.
Great song- I love the tone in Danny's voice!!!
Haven’t heard this in a while, good song, lots of emotion in it
I'm 21 and listening to these indie classics cause music these days aint as beautiful as before! ♡
Keep listening, because this was such a happy era
@@johnnywindsor183 alwaysss! I'm totally in love with it~
Very underrated song.
Mai sentita una ballata più bella!!!!
It's beautiful, right? Music that nourishes the soul...
What a tune, what a band, and they are leeds utd fans!!!!!!!
Still love this album, some great piano goings-on on it!
Ridiculously 23 yr old the 90s did give us anthems ❤️
I Hated the 90’s for most part as I was an awkward teenager but this song always makes me smile!! 👍
Still love this as much as I did 20 years ago 😊
straquoto,anzi,tutto l'album è uno spettacolo
To many people only listen to the music and not the lyrics 😢🤔🕊️❤️❤️❤️ 33 ❤️❤️❤️🏴
Man this one takes me back ..
hai ragione zio..io ero in seconda media ed andavo a fumare di nascosto dietro alle giostre di paese!! mi da i brividi riascoltare questa canzone piu' di 10 anni dopo... altri tempi erano!!
Was 21 in ‘98 and I’m having a really emotional frickin day just playing all my old anthems! Oh jeez! What days! 😭❤️❤️❤️
Good tune, good band, lot of people on here just talk shite!!! thanks you and goodnight...
I remember you boys from years back playing in Huddersfield and Leeds plus the old secret gigs!
Quality 🇬🇧
this song takes me back to a place i'd rather be.... the 90's was my best friend..
Most underrated British band ever
Back when times were good and music was proper! 🙌🏻
i love this song and its one i need to learn on the harp, such an under-rated band, wish they would get more recognition for their awesome music :)
il cantante ha una bellissima voce..
When I hear this song it always reminds me of when I went to Corfu in December 1998. Everywhere I went this song was being played, I love it 😊
