Yes great song and video. I wonder who made and directed the video? It complements the music so well, the expressions and movements. Combined it's a work of art & a lesson in life
True... I thought it was from Gorillaz maybe because of the very similar voice and since the first time I heard it was when I was a child, I had no idea who the ones who did it really were. Even in the comments section someone said that it is a Gorillaz song more than the Gorillaz themselves.
Just heard Dua Lipa's latest song and came straight here because I really love the og song. Edit: I'm informed now that that's also not the OG song, Lew Stone's My Woman is. Such an interesting chain of songs!
So many kids born in the 2000’s will be vibing to Dua Lipa not knowing this song even exists. I hope when they do find this song it brings them as much joy as it did for us 80’s and 90’s babies. ❤️ Edit: To the people commenting “it’s a sample from the 1930’s” - Thanks for the history lesson.
Right 😄 I told my son "hey that beat is from this cool song" The punk said "oh it's old" 🤣🤣Silly boy, just doesn't understand that my "old days" is y this new great musicians r great now 🤭😁😁😁😎❤️
I work at H&M and this song will play every now and then, always a treat to hear. Especially compared to the other mind-numbing songs they constantly play there. Thanks for making this song.
Shout out to Todd In The Shadows for reminding me of this terrific song. And thank you, Jyoti, for giving us a work that both harkens back to the past and is before it's time.
this was one of those songs id hear on the radio but knew nothing about, even the name. im actually very glad to now know story behind the song. the journey of this hit before and after would make for a great movie.
A masterpiece. Human relationships summarised in four minutes. It evokes perfectly the feelings of desperation and impending doom of being in love with a partner who doesn’t feel the same way. Some sort of tragedy is inevitable. Nice to see her be the one to survive and get her heart back. Many don’t.. :(
franklingoodwin ... video and track.... The man uses the woman yet has a side dish. The woman is in deep love/need for the man. Yet only that one man The man is the narcissist The woman is the codependent
heard this all the time when I was younger, but it’s been years, still beautiful 🥹 loved reading all your replies in the comments, you’re truly a thoughtful person!!
Absolute time capsule this track. Watching mtv before school with this gem on. Guy made it in his bedroom and sampled a piece from 1932. Absolute magic.
@@qwilk Wicked little boxes - you still can't beat the timing of MPCs, like Ataris. They are SO MUCH BETTER than DAWs, it's ridiculous. Congrats on your 2500, I wish I hadn't sold mine. Every MPC is different and you make different beats as a result. I'm gonna keep buying them, hahah!
I was 26 when I first heard this infectious tune! 🤩 Now at '53'.. I'm like where did the 27 years go?!?! It feels the same just like when it first hit my ears back in '97! 🥰 Thank You JM for this Timeless Masterpiece! 😍
This is what 'Future Nostalgia' means: Bring your favorite songs from the past into the future as a gift of nostalgia, but making it sound popular to our present. All the songs from the album have that same concept and that's what made it so successful. Everyone say thanks to DUA LIPA. PS: The original song it's from 1932, but this one it's catchy :)
@@aquiuvidex3574 The original song: "MY WOMAN" by AL BOWLLY. That song it's from 1932 and the song gives you so much nostalgia despite not being born at the time. Dua Lipa made us travel 100 years ago. You need to listen that song btw!
Gawd I was 19 when this came out - now 45! My 11-year-old son was playing Love Again by Dua Lipa earlier today, so had to look this up... The incredible thing is both Love Again and Your Woman are based on a sample of Lew Stone and Al Bowlly's 1932 recording "My Woman" - which was one of my late grandma's favourite songs! Such a timeless piece of music that has entertained and enamoured several generations of my family - I like the Dua Lipa song too, and really like White Town, but LOVE the original Stone / Bowlly song! Just shows that truly great music always stands the test of time, and that music has no expiry date or age limit😮
@trebordraw123 I was 19 in 1997... 1997 was 27 years ago... 19 + 27 = 46 (my age at time of writing this comment, as I've had a birthday since I wrote the original comment last December), not 41... If I was 41 now, I would have been 14 in 1997... Its your maths that's out, not my age
This is a song I NEVER get tired of listening to. I would describe its vibe as menacing, exhilarating, hauntingly beautiful. It is beautiful artistry that stirs up deep emotions from within me. This is a song that was way ahead of its time and sounds just as fresh and modern today as it did when it was released in 1997. Absolutely brilliant.
@@JyotiMishra wow, I was 10 years old and living in Ireland. Must have been fantastic. I had living ornaments on LP back then. I still have all of his older and some newer albums. Fantastic stuff
When I uploaded it originally, 2006, EMI didn't care about RUclips. They they uploaded their own version and blocked mine for YEARS. Then they deleted theirs ~ major labels, eh?
*IT'S NOT STAR WARS!!!* In the '90s, I bought the CD soundtrack for Dennis Potter's 'Pennies From Heaven' and on it was an amazing 1932 song called 'My Woman,' by Lew Stone And The Monseigneur Band, vocal by Al Bowlly. (This itself was a cover of the original by none other than Bing Crosby!) And that song started with a beautiful trumpet hook...
Thank you for this song..97 the weather was hot, I was at University in Canterbury Rngalnd and dating a lovely girl called Joanne . Your song was constantly on the radio and we could never get too much of it . Great track then great now and so wonderful to hear it hitting new younger ears as a sample itself . Thank you again and ALL the best to you
I'm argentinian 🇦🇷 and 20 years old. I heard this song from a paraguayan FM radio station which plays old music all the time (and which I can weakly pick up from my home because I live in the northeastern part of the country), and immediately fell in LOVE with it!! I had to wait until they played it again so I could Shazam it, and here I am :)
Holy memories! listening to Dua Lipa today and went "WAIT I KNOW THAT SAMPLE!!" and I couldn't remember the song for the life of me even thought I LOVED this in school! So glad to be led back here.
@@feralfernweh6091 your mum is one of a million CEOs I'm afraid. Us kids of the 90's remember it ALL. We're not best pleased with that particular sample.
@@irishcountrygirl78 mhm! I'm aware, that's why I put (/j), to symbolize that was in fact a joke and I'm completely aware it's a very easy question for a 90s kid! learn to read tone tags before you tear people a new one
Eu tbem sempre escuto meus amigos e até minha esposa me chamam de doido pq escuto sempre 😂😂 mais eles ficam felizes pq sabem que é uma música que me deixa feliz 😊
I've always admired the resentful, regretful tone he sings in. He strikes a great balance between sounding "over it" yet still hurt and vulnerable. Very relatable and honestly my favorite aspect of the song.
@@FreakinSweet1987 @FreakinSweet1987 *I kinda like it being a man singing, him making his voice a little higher makes him sound kinda sad and it fits the song!!!! :D*
Every tiny detail is done so precisely well, you’re so right. His voice BEYOND sells the songs melancholy message. Its a hypnotizing song, I’ve listened to it nearly 900 times
This is so iconic I can’t believe you updated your description to welcome fans of One Hit Wonderland! You have a finger on the pulse when it comes to this, which makes sense seeing how much your style and process came to influence modern music production and internet music. From one music loving Indian to another I commend you!
I finally found it! I had this beat stuck in my head since I heard it in the 90s. After so many years I finally found it and it’s just as amazing as I remembered it.
Dear Mr. Mishra, I am French,I am forty four years old I can tell you that your song was a huge success in the land of Molière and Napoleon. In 1997, all the young French boys and French girls danced on your masterpiece of genius. Thank you very much.
You wrote an amazing song, with one of the best hooks ever. I remember hearing this song in the car when I was just a little kid. I'm an adult now, with my own kid, and my daughter listens to this song now. Thank you for creating such a classic piece of music.
This is such a timeless masterpiece. I hope in generations to come, people still listen to it and relate to it. It's been one of my favorite songs for decades now. It helped me go through breakups, highs and lows. What a magnificent, meaningful phrase is "I could never be the right kind of girl, I could never be your woman". I just fucking love this song.
I know what you mean , I always go back to this song aswell, by White Town it's always had a big importance to me. I was almost 18 years old when it came out in Jan 97 I've always returned to it, I frequently play it, stream it as one says nowadays.😀 Ha
I remember listening to this on the radio for the first time back in 1997. Went out next day and bought the single. Still listening to this day. Brilliant song and video
Possibly the greatest one hit wonder ever written and one of the best 90s tracks ever written .. the bass at 3:13 is just absolutely stinkin, the audacity to use a bass synth like that is incredible, such an anthem for all generations 😎
@@JyotiMishra Neat. I always wondered and I used to speculate (along with someone I talked to at the office at the time the song was a hit) as to whether the bass could have been a tuba. The roughness in tone quality sounded a little like a beginning tuba player or come to think of it even expert tuba players have that rough sound on low notes. It is a perfect counterpart to the trumpet, symmetry in brass, even if it was not an actual tuba.
@@JyotiMishra what did you do the drums on? they've got a nice feel like the samples weren't chopped that tightly so the kick drags a bit. mpc? curious what you sequenced the song on too? also as everyone say's great song, and embedded in my mind forever. different then, and different now, and all the better for it.
I was going through my original cassette tape from the mid-90s that I used to record music off the radio and ran into this song. I knew 10-year-old me had decent taste in music, but I didn't realize it was _this_ good!
Todd in the Shadows introduced me to this song through his 'One Hit Wonderland' review, and I must say this is a real gem that I, as a Gen Z American, have never heard before! It's a real jam!
Wow, as a 33 year old I know music changes through the years but this song is so iconic to me it never occurred to me that the younger generations wouldn't know it. GG Todd
@@skunkrat01 can confirm as a Gen Z I had never heard this song before Todd in the Shadows episode on it but it's great when he hummed it at the start I just thought of Star Wars
This song came out when I was in the 7th grade and it was immensely popular. Giving away my age there, I’m a geriatric millennial. People who haven’t heard it and don’t know, assume The Gorillaz did this.
I love everything about this song. The opening strings, the layered production, the haunting tone, the fact that a man is singing about not being able be another man's woman. Pure classic.😊
He's not singing about being another mans woman. He's singing about love and promiscuity and the rest falls into place even if you watch the video. 🤦♂ Jesus christ dude.
You were quoted as saying "I would rather be a one-hit wonder than a no-hit wonder". And the fact you are responding to posts shows how down-to-earth you are. And of course thanks for this absolute gem of a song! Enjoying from Toronto, Canada :)
@@JyotiMishra yo amo esta canción. Muy sonada en los 90's y ahora la encuentro por casualidad me hace revivir aquella época. Saludos desde Monterrey ❤️
Todd in the Shadows just dropped a One Hit Wonderland episode on this song. Hearing that sample again for the first time in 25 years hit me like a bucket of ice water. I swear I can almost hear the radio bumper from the high school mixtape I recorded it on. I had to come and listen to the whole thing again.
I have carried this melody in my head since the late 90's after hearing it, thank you for giving us this ear worm that is simply impossible to forget in my case
Nobody can imagine for how many years I have been searching this song...I always remembered the ending of the video and that repeating sounds in the back but I was never able to put my finger on the song 😭 finally finding it I’m happy
For years, i can only remember the beginning music and nothing else. Tonight i watched Fearstreet, heard this soundtrack, paused Netflix and came here to listen to it 5times before going back to the show. Thanks for bringing me back to when i was 14. Oh the memories!!!
It’s so cool that you look at the comments and reply to people all these years later. I was born in ‘01 and my dad introduced me to this song when I was a kid. Such a unique sound!
Thank you, Arcaden! Well, I don't have time to reply to every single comment but I try to get to as many as possible. If people take the time to comment, I think it's only polite to reply! :-D
Hey thanks a lot for the HD version! I thought I was tripping out first because I always thought that the video was in 240p. However, the sound volume went down in this HD version. It would great if you can increase the sound volume for the video! I play it in max and it is still not enough.
Oh no but it's not possible is it you? you are THE singer of the clip. Well then you know I am 34 years old. I am from February 2, 1986 and when your song was released at the time I was very young I must have been 4 or 5 years old to break it all. once i remember i asked my mom (tell me why is she running the lady?) and she said to me (for nothing my son you will have all the time to know its.) Anyway it was another era.
Truely, a song that would of been a hit at any point in the last 20 years. It's a song that feels like it was years ahead of it's time. It's a song I've heard many times, though i never knew it was made by one guy until Todd did his episode on it. Just gains even more respect from me. A true classic that will never get old.
@@marcvalens407 I heard it, it cannot compare to this masterpiece. The only interesting part of her version is the trumpet part. But Your Woman is all over amazing - the song itself, the lyrics, the awesome music video. 😍
I was in a shit relationship when this came out. I loved him sooo much, but it was never reciprocated. I ended up leaving him when I was 20, the year this was was released, the violence got too much to live with. This helped me very much too. thank you Jyoti xxx
*When we were kids. "Our parents* *just don't understand this music"* *Now as parents. "Kids just don't* *understand this music"* *If you're 25 and under listening to* *this I salute you 🙌*
I’m 15 and I only listen to 80s, 90s, and 10s, and mix in some beatles. In my opinion pop is the worst genre ever. I love funk music like this. Like Someone’s watching me. Great song.
I recorded this off the radio on my tape player when I was just a young lil guy. Never new who it was and always looked for it for years. Heard the violins why eating bdubs today and instantly searched the comments. I finally found the song I have kept in the back of my head for well over a decade. Thank you so much to who ever posted the original band. 💓💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👂👂👂👂👂
I recorded it on a cassette tape too! And then every mix cd I made for the next five years. A lot of younger people don't know that the dua lipa song came from a song that came from another song from 1932! I teach them. I was 13 and always knew the song and band but I didn't know it itself was a cover
This song and me have a story. I remember I heard it in a TV program when I was very young. Every afternoon after that I waited, for like 3 months, until they played it again. I recorded half of it in a video tape and I was happy to have this song among the first 5 tracks I ever recorded to enjoy them in my walkman (the others being stairway to heaven, paranoid android, until it sleeps and gone away). I spent years with my half song until I could download it. Thanks for this masterpiece man. 20 years.
Came accross a Dua Lipa song that everyone was saying sampled this. So I thought I'd pay it forward, come here and tell you that this actually sampled 'My Woman' by Lew Stone (1932).
If you have time, please check out my new album, Philogrammetry: songwhip.com/white-town/philogrammetry

One of the few timeless songs. This could come out tomorrow and be a hit again.
So right.
True... I thought it was from Gorillaz maybe because of the very similar voice and since the first time I heard it was when I was a child, I had no idea who the ones who did it really were. Even in the comments section someone said that it is a Gorillaz song more than the Gorillaz themselves.

The incredible thing is both Love Again and Your Woman are based on a sample of Lew Stone and Al Bowlly's 1932 recording "My Woman" - which was one of my late grandma's favourite songs! Such a timeless piece of music that has entertained and enamoured several generations of my family - I like the Dua Lipa song too, and really like White Town, but LOVE the original Stone / Bowlly song! Just shows that truly great music always stands the test of time, and that music has no expiry date or age limit😮
I heard this song at a Goodwill store.
I was probably about 11 or 12. Always loved this song
This was out in 1997, if you were 19 in 1997 you would be about 41 now. Are your dates correct?
@trebordraw123 I was 19 in 1997... 1997 was 27 years ago... 19 + 27 = 46 (my age at time of writing this comment, as I've had a birthday since I wrote the original comment last December), not 41... If I was 41 now, I would have been 14 in 1997... Its your maths that's out, not my age
I'm 89 and still love this song
😘😘😘
Reading this made me so happy! I’m 43 and still listening!!!!
Wow u legend 👏 am 44 ❤
This is a song I NEVER get tired of listening to. I would describe its vibe as menacing, exhilarating, hauntingly beautiful. It is beautiful artistry that stirs up deep emotions from within me. This is a song that was way ahead of its time and sounds just as fresh and modern today as it did when it was released in 1997. Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you, @user-xk6kb6ge5u! :-D
Listen to ME by Gary Numan.
I think you'll enjoy
@@numanoid5665 I saw the Telekon tour :-)
@@JyotiMishra wow, I was 10 years old and living in Ireland. Must have been fantastic. I had living ornaments on LP back then. I still have all of his older and some newer albums. Fantastic stuff
@@numanoid5665 I was obsessed with him - he was amazing!
I just realized that the uploader is the artist himself (mind = blown). This is one of the greatest songs ever!
When I uploaded it originally, 2006, EMI didn't care about RUclips. They they uploaded their own version and blocked mine for YEARS. Then they deleted theirs ~ major labels, eh?
Jyoti, what's the history of White Town? Is it just you? What song did you sample here? (It sounds so 1920s)

Yep! I'll never forget this song! One of the best ones EVER for sure!!!
Jyoti Mishra ay im the 2.000 th sup Lol
*IT'S NOT STAR WARS!!!* In the '90s, I bought the CD soundtrack for Dennis Potter's 'Pennies From Heaven' and on it was an amazing 1932 song called 'My Woman,' by Lew Stone And The Monseigneur Band, vocal by Al Bowlly. (This itself was a cover of the original by none other than Bing Crosby!) And that song started with a beautiful trumpet hook...
amazing music man, enjoy your success
I am here through Dua Lipa and I (re)discover your song, it is fantastic !!! 15 years ... time flies by, great music stays !!!
Thank you for this song..97 the weather was hot, I was at University in Canterbury Rngalnd and dating a lovely girl called Joanne . Your song was constantly on the radio and we could never get too much of it .
Great track then great now and so wonderful to hear it hitting new younger ears as a sample itself .
Thank you again and ALL the best to you
Where can I find the vinyl!!! ;)
What a fantastic song. I listen to it over and over again and it never gets old.
I'm argentinian 🇦🇷 and 20 years old. I heard this song from a paraguayan FM radio station which plays old music all the time (and which I can weakly pick up from my home because I live in the northeastern part of the country), and immediately fell in LOVE with it!!
I had to wait until they played it again so I could Shazam it, and here I am :)
this song is never getting old it has a futuristic sound
Thank you!
Futuristic Nostalgia 🙃
reminds me Gorillaz
Futuristic but also a bit 1920s
Steampunk song
Holy memories! listening to Dua Lipa today and went "WAIT I KNOW THAT SAMPLE!!" and I couldn't remember the song for the life of me even thought I LOVED this in school! So glad to be led back here.
1930s sample.
I have exactly the same feeling!
YEAH I had to ask my mum bc shes the CEO of 90s music (/j) and she knew exactly where it was from immediately
@@feralfernweh6091 your mum is one of a million CEOs I'm afraid. Us kids of the 90's remember it ALL. We're not best pleased with that particular sample.
@@irishcountrygirl78 mhm! I'm aware, that's why I put (/j), to symbolize that was in fact a joke and I'm completely aware it's a very easy question for a 90s kid! learn to read tone tags before you tear people a new one
23 years later: I listen to this song often, and I never get tired of it. Still fresh every time.
Thank you, Gary Gramm! :-D
@HellYeahhhhhh Of course! I'm just happy the song still connects with people after nearly one quarter of a century! :-D
I listened 10 times in a bar this song i was drunk jajajaja
Me too me too
Eu tbem sempre escuto meus amigos e até minha esposa me chamam de doido pq escuto sempre 😂😂 mais eles ficam felizes pq sabem que é uma música que me deixa feliz 😊
90s music is the best ❤
Your Woman Is Better than Love Again by Dua Lipa.
I've always admired the resentful, regretful tone he sings in. He strikes a great balance between sounding "over it" yet still hurt and vulnerable. Very relatable and honestly my favorite aspect of the song.
I never understood why a man is saying "I could never be your woman." I always assumed it was just a deep voiced woman.
@@FreakinSweet1987 @FreakinSweet1987 *I kinda like it being a man singing, him making his voice a little higher makes him sound kinda sad and it fits the song!!!! :D*
He's gay 😐
@@FreakinSweet1987 you are awesome to think that hahahahaha lol
Every tiny detail is done so precisely well, you’re so right. His voice BEYOND sells the songs melancholy message. Its a hypnotizing song, I’ve listened to it nearly 900 times
a timeless gem, sounds a fresh now as it did 20 years ago
This is so iconic I can’t believe you updated your description to welcome fans of One Hit Wonderland! You have a finger on the pulse when it comes to this, which makes sense seeing how much your style and process came to influence modern music production and internet music. From one music loving Indian to another I commend you!
Cheers!
Todd made me a fan of this guy. What a frickin legend. I wanna hear Jyoti talk about the Atari ST! I was more of an Amiga fan XD
Wasn't this song done in his bedroom
UK Indian?
@@gingernutpreacher That is correct
Today I heard the Dua Lipa track, so I had to get back to the original. I really love this song so much.. Thanks!
Thank you, @HoofCreaition! :-D
The 1997 Version Sounds Better than The 2021 Due Lipa Version.
Such an underrated gem! One of the many in the 90s. I could never be a woman, either.
Your*
Laurie Beth H True, the lyric does say your, but I believe one could broaden the song to being a woman in general.
It's not a woman it's your woman
Scottish Thistle Yes, yes I know, but I believe one can broaden the song's meaning to being a woman in general.
KillerFrank lol well you could do that with any song, but that still doesn't mean that it has any meaning beyond what is written
Dua lipa, debe sentirse orgullosa de haber plagiado este temazo.
She did?
@ZeeZee9 así es.

I finally found it! I had this beat stuck in my head since I heard it in the 90s. After so many years I finally found it and it’s just as amazing as I remembered it.
Yessss 😃😃😃
Me too!!
My sons love it now🤣👍🏻
The tune at the start is originally from Al Bowlly My Woman!
finally find it today. Now im adult
Heard this today for the first time in years. I'd forgotten just how brilliant a song it is!
Thank goodness for RUclips. It's the closest thing to a time machine we'll ever have ✌️😊
@AchtungBaby77 It really is!
Dear Mr. Mishra, I am French,I am forty four years old I can tell you that your song was a huge success in the land of Molière and Napoleon. In 1997, all the young French boys and French girls danced on your masterpiece of genius. Thank you very much.
Thank you, eric dupuis! I'm a Francophile so that means a lot to me! :-)
I am moved by your answer, it goes straight to the heart!Thank you very much.
@@ericdupuis3508 Thank *you*
You wrote an amazing song, with one of the best hooks ever. I remember hearing this song in the car when I was just a little kid. I'm an adult now, with my own kid, and my daughter listens to this song now. Thank you for creating such a classic piece of music.
Thank you, Adam Martin! That's very kind of you to say. :-D
@@JyotiMishra
Excusme, ..this music is british??
That sweet hook is from Pennies from Heaven.
I have been listening to this song on and off since released, always perfect. Classic. The way the riff changes👍🏻🇮🇪☘
This is such a timeless masterpiece. I hope in generations to come, people still listen to it and relate to it. It's been one of my favorite songs for decades now. It helped me go through breakups, highs and lows. What a magnificent, meaningful phrase is "I could never be the right kind of girl, I could never be your woman". I just fucking love this song.
I know what you mean , I always go back to this song aswell, by White Town it's always had a big importance to me. I was almost 18 years old when it came out in Jan 97 I've always returned to it, I frequently play it, stream it as one says nowadays.😀 Ha
Feel you! So right words🙏🏻
im 14 yo, and im listening to this music while doing lesson to the school, i love that song, one of the best songs i listened to relax, amazing!
Thank you, @noodlepgc! :-D
I remember listening to this on the radio for the first time back in 1997. Went out next day and bought the single. Still listening to this day. Brilliant song and video
Possibly the greatest one hit wonder ever written and one of the best 90s tracks ever written .. the bass at 3:13 is just absolutely stinkin, the audacity to use a bass synth like that is incredible, such an anthem for all generations 😎
Hey, thanks for the compliment! The bass sound is actually an Emax II sampler - it's a sample of my Moog Rogue. :-)
And how about the Android old game sound!🥰
@@JyotiMishra Neat. I always wondered and I used to speculate (along with someone I talked to at the office at the time the song was a hit) as to whether the bass could have been a tuba. The roughness in tone quality sounded a little like a beginning tuba player or come to think of it even expert tuba players have that rough sound on low notes. It is a perfect counterpart to the trumpet, symmetry in brass, even if it was not an actual tuba.
@@JyotiMishra what did you do the drums on? they've got a nice feel like the samples weren't chopped that tightly so the kick drags a bit. mpc? curious what you sequenced the song on too? also as everyone say's great song, and embedded in my mind forever. different then, and different now, and all the better for it.
@@samsicles_jr The samples weren't chopped at all - just two loops, on top of each other, on an Emax II. More info here -> whitetown.co.uk/faq/
Love this song! The fact you made such a catchy global hit (and UK no 1) in your bedroom is brilliant!
Seriously - if anyone made a film of the whole thing, NO-ONE would believe it. It was a fucking rollercoaster of madness.
I was going through my original cassette tape from the mid-90s that I used to record music off the radio and ran into this song. I knew 10-year-old me had decent taste in music, but I didn't realize it was _this_ good!
Todd in the Shadows introduced me to this song through his 'One Hit Wonderland' review, and I must say this is a real gem that I, as a Gen Z American, have never heard before! It's a real jam!
I agree, todd also introduced me. It's amazing to discover something I never even heard of and suddenly became my all time favorite song 🎵 ❤️
Wow, as a 33 year old I know music changes through the years but this song is so iconic to me it never occurred to me that the younger generations wouldn't know it. GG Todd
@@skunkrat01 can confirm as a Gen Z I had never heard this song before Todd in the Shadows episode on it but it's great when he hummed it at the start I just thought of Star Wars
This song came out when I was in the 7th grade and it was immensely popular. Giving away my age there, I’m a geriatric millennial. People who haven’t heard it and don’t know, assume The Gorillaz did this.
This song actually introduced me to Todd. It showed up in my suggestions, and I have since seen every episode of One Hit Wonderland.
I love everything about this song. The opening strings, the layered production, the haunting tone, the fact that a man is singing about not being able be another man's woman. Pure classic.😊
And it’s was all done in his bed room is what’s crazy
🤦♂
He sang it from a woman’s perspective
Lol not why he made, it look it up
He's not singing about being another mans woman. He's singing about love and promiscuity and the rest falls into place even if you watch the video. 🤦♂ Jesus christ dude.
I absolutely adore the silent film feel that the video itself has. I even spy a bit of German Expressionism in it.
Oh yes, you'd be right - I'm an ex-film student. 😛
@@JyotiMishra: I love all your Buster Keaton references here too 😊
I love how it plays like one of those 1920's funny flims
You were quoted as saying "I would rather be a one-hit wonder than a no-hit wonder". And the fact you are responding to posts shows how down-to-earth you are. And of course thanks for this absolute gem of a song! Enjoying from Toronto, Canada :)
To have *any* success as a musician is an amazing thing - I'm very happy that people still love this song, 25 years later. :-)
@@JyotiMishra Thank you for the response and congratulations on the success. Prediction: people will still be enjoying this song 25 years from today!
@@JyotiMishra yo amo esta canción. Muy sonada en los 90's y ahora la encuentro por casualidad me hace revivir aquella época. Saludos desde Monterrey ❤️

@@JyotiMishra This song is timeless. This song will always be in heavy rotation.
Por fin mi búsqueda de esta canción ha terminado. Gracias, he vuelto a mi adolescencia.
Holy..... when you realize this song is almost 20 years old and you've loved it the whole time....
The song actually first came out in 1996! :-P
A Gen X anthem.
Rock on my people. 🤟
Millennial here. I remember this in the late 90s
Absolutely, I am Gen X, and the 90's were an incredible time, thank God for giving me those years of youth.
Gen X had our anthems in the 80s 😂
No it is ours Millenials!
You got your 80s, dont still our thunder😂
"I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth..."
This is still one of the best songs ever. Merry Xmas 2023 to everyone still listening
I had a lot of comments that the audio was too low so I re-mastered it AND the vid is now in the right aspect ratio, not squished. Enjoy!!
Thank you !!👍😀
Shente mone poli ♥️♥️ even after 20 years it's like... something special. Thanks brother ♥️♥️

Thanks
Jyoti you are my idol a total inspiration WE Love YOU!
Nostalgia... can we please go back to the 90s? I’d give anything.
innit
But then we'd have to experience kobains death all over again 😔
Yes!
@Dogman tossed my salad yup, just like virtually EVERY "musician" now!!
I use the term musician generously!!
Me feel the same.
you made my life so happy
That's the only reason I keep making music - it's a way of reaching out, sending out a million hugs.
Gems like this are part of what made the '90s such a unique decade.
This song samples “My Woman” by Al Bowlly, which is from the 1930s!
And Dua Lipa’s song “Love Again” samples both this and that song!
Thanks!!! I knew i was heard that song somewhere haha who knows
This is what Future Nostalgia means
White Town rather is inspired by My Woman and created much broader in deeper rif on guitar
Eso no lo sabía, gracias
but dua lipa's song has cheaply used this sample. I was like: really? but thanks anyway because i can come listen to this amazing song again
Todd in the Shadows just dropped a One Hit Wonderland episode on this song. Hearing that sample again for the first time in 25 years hit me like a bucket of ice water. I swear I can almost hear the radio bumper from the high school mixtape I recorded it on. I had to come and listen to the whole thing again.
I have carried this melody in my head since the late 90's after hearing it, thank you for giving us this ear worm that is simply impossible to forget in my case
Nostalgic.. absolutely... happy to find this masterpiece after soooooo long
Thank you, S J! :-D
Thanks Todd In The Shadows for getting this song in my head. The beat sample is so undeniable.
Nobody can imagine for how many years I have been searching this song...I always remembered the ending of the video and that repeating sounds in the back but I was never able to put my finger on the song 😭 finally finding it I’m happy
Awwwww!
Searched for years..now they remixing it..insanity
I'll love that. They took this great song from a 1932 song by Al Bowlly and made it greatness. It's one of my favorite songs by Whitetown. They rock.
For years, i can only remember the beginning music and nothing else. Tonight i watched Fearstreet, heard this soundtrack, paused Netflix and came here to listen to it 5times before going back to the show.
Thanks for bringing me back to when i was 14. Oh the memories!!!
Same. Netflix paused right now
Same.. LOL..
I lived in Switzerland in 1997, this song was everywhere, more than Oasis, Puff Daddy or The Verve
This really is one of those perfect songs that you can't forget. Exceptional production.
I was looking for more than 20 years for this song. Man, I burst into tears as I found the band name and the song.
Wow!
Isn't that the most awesome feeling when you find a song.
I didn't know the name of it. Just got lucky that I stumbled upon it and clicked.
Timeless. It has an otherworldly mix of past and futuristic sound. If you heard it back in the day, you never forgot it and wanted more like it.
Why is no one talking about how it’s 14 years olddd like this is pure magic!!!
Well, the song itself is from 1997... :-)
@@JyotiMishra this song could have come out in 2020, This is timeless and the Edge 102.1 in Toronto keeps playing it. I love the sample at 3:11

It’s so cool that you look at the comments and reply to people all these years later. I was born in ‘01 and my dad introduced me to this song when I was a kid. Such a unique sound!
Thank you, Arcaden! Well, I don't have time to reply to every single comment but I try to get to as many as possible. If people take the time to comment, I think it's only polite to reply! :-D
when you remember a song you love but you haven't listened to it in ages and RUclips is there for you
You asked for it, you got it... Finally, 'Your Woman' with HD video! Enjoy! :-D
I love this song since the first time i heard what was 14 years and there's no change i still love it
Hey thanks a lot for the HD version! I thought I was tripping out first because I always thought that the video was in 240p. However, the sound volume went down in this HD version. It would great if you can increase the sound volume for the video! I play it in max and it is still not enough.
Oh no but it's not possible is it you? you are THE singer of the clip.
Well then you know I am 34 years old. I am from February 2, 1986 and when your song was released at the time I was very young I must have been 4 or 5 years old to break it all. once i remember i asked my mom (tell me why is she running the lady?)
and she said to me (for nothing my son you will have all the time to know its.)
Anyway it was another era.
What has become of the actors and actresses of the clip ? besides you have heard from them since time?
Jyoti Mishra thanks so much! I love this song so much!!!
Truely, a song that would of been a hit at any point in the last 20 years. It's a song that feels like it was years ahead of it's time. It's a song I've heard many times, though i never knew it was made by one guy until Todd did his episode on it. Just gains even more respect from me. A true classic that will never get old.
Woaah, thank you! :-D
Check Dua Lipa's "love again" last month
@@marcvalens407 I heard it, it cannot compare to this masterpiece. The only interesting part of her version is the trumpet part. But Your Woman is all over amazing - the song itself, the lyrics, the awesome music video. 😍
For sure ahead of its time. Loved it then and now. Such a groove and the breaks. Still modern.
It's even more ahead of its time than being written in the 90s. Even this song is a sample. The original "My Woman" was written in 1932.
I was 5 years old when I first heard this song in the 90s and today Dua Lipa revived the sound of the clarinet.
Time flies people. Please enjoy your life to the fullest. 🍻
You win comment of the day. 2024 has been a fucking awful year, I wish us all better in 2025.
I don’t care what flash in the pan “artist” samples this song. White Town nailed this and will forever be relevant.
sorry to break it to ya, but many people don't know White Town anymore, and even if they did, Dua Lipa has had far more popular songs
This song helped me leave a horrible relationship back when it came out. Thank you.
That's an incredible thing for a songwriter to hear, thank you!
I was in a shit relationship when this came out. I loved him sooo much, but it was never reciprocated. I ended up leaving him when I was 20, the year this was was released, the violence got too much to live with. This helped me very much too. thank you Jyoti xxx
I listened to this when I was in high school, around 18, now I'm 44, thank you for your amazing music

I recorded this off the radio on my tape player when I was just a young lil guy. Never new who it was and always looked for it for years. Heard the violins why eating bdubs today and instantly searched the comments. I finally found the song I have kept in the back of my head for well over a decade. Thank you so much to who ever posted the original band. 💓💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👂👂👂👂👂
omg me too
This is the original band's channel man, Mishra is White Town
Same I was searching for this song and when I heard dua lipas new song I finally found it
I recorded it on a cassette tape too! And then every mix cd I made for the next five years. A lot of younger people don't know that the dua lipa song came from a song that came from another song from 1932! I teach them. I was 13 and always knew the song and band but I didn't know it itself was a cover
Me too!!!
Dua Lipa was 2 years old when this wonderful song came out.
Without question, this song is in my personal top 10 songs all-time and this song will remain that way forever. My favorite song of the 1990s!
This song and me have a story. I remember I heard it in a TV program when I was very young. Every afternoon after that I waited, for like 3 months, until they played it again. I recorded half of it in a video tape and I was happy to have this song among the first 5 tracks I ever recorded to enjoy them in my walkman (the others being stairway to heaven, paranoid android, until it sleeps and gone away). I spent years with my half song until I could download it. Thanks for this masterpiece man. 20 years.
You're making me cry here
Came accross a Dua Lipa song that everyone was saying sampled this. So I thought I'd pay it forward, come here and tell you that this actually sampled 'My Woman' by Lew Stone (1932).
Who got the sound from Al Bowly my woman
THANK YOU !! X
