Cummings quits No10, the Yorkshire Ripper meets his maker, and now Dels announce a new album. Best Friday the 13th ever! Welcome back lads.
Excellent song. Nice to see/hear that Mr. Currie is on the right/righteous side. My wife and I saw Del Amitri in October 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall on our honeymoon.
What a set of metaphors for Brexit right now - the imagery of the video is not lost either - completely brilliant
This new album is the best news I've had this year. I adore this band and their music. I would go so far as to say that my very soul has been positively effected by their very existence.
Like a warm fire on a cold evening - Welcome back boys - Love it
It seems that many music lovers, like me, have missed this wonderful band. Got goosebumps because your back with this great track.
They sound like they've never been away. That unmistakable DA sound and powerful lyrics
The voice remains the same.
Justin's writing has not let him down, he really does write better songs than us.
All is good now. The Dels are back.
Holy f*ck... got the email, came here... Guys, it's fabulous, utterly FABULOUS.
I'm patiently waiting for my new AC/DC cd (released today), well you have to, don't you?
And then this news arrives - a new Del Amitri album - I am SO happy. Many MANY thanks :)
Gentlemen! We need more CDs! PLEASE! Nowhere to be found!
Can't wait to see them next Friday ❤❤❤
Just close your eyes and listen to this masterpiece of a song thanks lads nice to see you back
I see what you did there fellas and it's great. This might be the ballsiest song I've heard in a long, long time.
I love this ,its just amazing, so lovely to hear them again
This Granny is happy beyond words
Jenny🥰🥰😊😊
I don’t know why...this band feels like coming home...cheers from Germany:-)
Fantastic news on Friday 13th The Dels are back
Del Amitri never aged.... love this...
Fantastic. Great to know that a new Dels album is on the way. (And good to know about this channel, too - I was unaware that it existed before this).
Love the sound of the song - Justin's voice, the drums sound fantastic; a bit of Beatles ADT in there, too, maybe.
Sounds just like Del Amitri. No problem with that.
Great song and a new album coming out 25 years after the only time I got see the Dels live. I'll take it.
The sentiment reminds me of the song « Garden Of England » by another great Scottish musician, the late Gerry Rafferty.
Okay. This is good. In fact, it's very good. I admit to being just a little biased! Can't wait for the rest to come. Great job guys. 😎
All my childhood I listened to there music due to my dad playing it in his car, since then Iv always listened to them and they as good now as they were years ago. What a way to end Friday 13th and a dramatic year.
I thought Friday 13th was gonna be a bad day...then this came out! Good job boys, good job.
So good you're back! And what a wonderful foretaste of the album.
So happy you are back again.
I can’t forget you concert in Milan 1995.
You have written wonderfull songs.
I hope to see you again.
The most underrated band ever. Love your music.
What a wonderful day when you can wake up to a new Del song! My ears are so happy.
Top tune! thank you very much , about bloody time .
Sadly, they the powers that be closed their eyes decades ago. Great to hear new del amitri songs in betwen these bad times they have created.
Fabulous, been waiting years for this and it hasn’t failed. Can’t wait to hear the rest!
Oh how I love this band! Welcome back Justin, Iain & the boys, can't wait for the album & tour ...
One of the best news in this fucking year: So glad that the boys are back in town!
Great to hear the Dels again!!
step by step the sun has set...
Oh God guys, it’s ABSOEFFINGBRILLIANT you’re back. First vinyl I’ve bought in AGES. What a joy. Thank you.
HOLY FUCK..... a new album by Del Amitri. That's the best news so far this year
Absolute awesome new material from one of my favourite bands! Looking forward to the album. I Love it that you're back!
Love it, just love it. Too long between drinks old friends.
Bravo! Can't wait to hear the rest of the new songs - and hopefully post covid, see and hear them performed live.
The best Song of 2020, can't wait to hear the new Album. Waiting so long for new Music of Del Amitri, it is from the Heart!!! Also new Music of Crowded House, the two best Bands in the World, I think.
......and a new album from Teenage Fanclub too. 2021 is looking good.
Brilliantly brutal lyrics, and the music is, per usual, spot on.
This made me cry. Turns out 2020 wasn’t all bad x
Dry yir eyes baw-bag.
@@stuartgraham5045 whey - hey! Here he is x
@@jonathandunn3354 I thought I'd find you mooching about here.
Absolutely love it! Now on my fourth time of listening to it and has made my day! Looking forward to hearing the whole album next year. Just superb, thank you!
Great news in a year of little great news. Luv this band as well. Discovered them when I left Calgary Canada to go to UEA in Norwich, England in 1989. Have had an deep affect on my music ever since. Luv the metaphoric "shot across the bow" of Brexit.
SO excited for this! SO lovely to hear this familiar amazing sound. Thank you The Dels. ❤
This is brilliant. Fantastic song.
Would love to see you guys in Phoenix, but you're coming in the midst of Spring Training. Don't compete with local activity.
So glad they're back! Missed them much! The song is good! Waiting for the album!
Friday the 13th is supposed to be bad. This has turned that on it's head. About time boys. 😍
Magnificent!
This has grown on me immensely and I love "You can't go back" which was on BBC Scotland Children in need recently....new album looking good! God we need this!
Class again - deceptively relaxed song with excoriating use of what they really believe to berate those hideous views. Really lovely
Great music. England isn't finished quite yet.
Great stuff. Looking forward to coming to hear you playing live again. So thinking of England - yeah well.
Gorgeous!
Superb song
outstanding. Not even a grower. opening few bars drew me in straight away. . Yes yes ok i'm also as biased as others on here.
Top drawer boys 👌
Fantastic ! The sound is back
Best news in this horrible year. LOVE IT
Wonderful !!
My favourite band from the 90s makes a comeback = Awesome. I think they've spotted the flaw in the political zeitgeist!? Great track.
EXCELLENT!! Can’t wait
Thanks dels, great news, been hoping for new material, looking forward to release, hope we can see you live in 2021
Fantastic track. Look forward to hearing the whole album.
Beautiful
Love it, glad to have you back guys!
This album kicks the musical zeitgeist hard in the balls. A masterpiece. It makes everything around me more bearable.
If there is a God, he has produced.
Saw them supporting simpleminds in Dublin on Monday, hes a little frail now but voice still great
I hope the new album is better than 2002's I've always loved the band but the last studio album I've never liked - but this gives me hope
Damn fine tune
Amazing
Chorus reminds me of Idlewild - Welcome home
Should be more popular in the US than they are.
Sydney please!!
This is easily one of their best songs. I can't wait to hear the entire album.
It takes a great Scottish band to give England and their narrow viewpoint a good kicking.
Another masterpiece by Justin & The Dels. Check out my American response "The United States of Selfishness."
Close your eyes and think of Scotland.
All the songs of this album have one major flaw in that they end WAY too soon...
Best news of 2020 yet! Apart, of course, from the fall of America's dictator.
A shame they got this one so wrong. Better when they sang about toxic relationships which ironically was the main reason that, despite all the medias best efforts, the majority of people rejected the EU.
Is the "boat on the ocean" supposed to represent the island of Great Britain?
Does "the coast guard was drinking" mean that the political leaders have failed to handle recent crises there?
No Shit Sherlock
@@lightningstrikes7314 Those "?" symbols are question marks, meaning a question not a statement. Do keep up and try being helpful instead of a dick. #doffs cap
I've just watched Master and Commander and wonder if this song might have been influenced. Whilst everyone had their eyes closed dreaming of what "England" means to them, the real england has been disintergrating as what "England" was, isn't anymore.
You're now fully signed up to the SNP anti English brigade???
Went to see them at The Astor in Perth, Western Australia last night. Justin Currie has been an outstanding lyricist (look up No, Surrender). This time he sets his sights on Brexit, and the fucking idiots who thought it was a good idea.
