When my daughter moved to South Yorkshire from down south she saw Jarvis at Sheffield station and being a typical teenager she went across to ask if it was indeed Jarvis , she expected to be told to get lost , it was indeed Jarvis and he had a good chat with her , absolutely made her day , Jarvis was an absolute gent , some so called stars could learn a lot from Jarvis
Pulp, Suede, Blur, Cast, Ocean Colour Scene, Placebo, Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, The Verve, Longpigs, Embrace, Kula Shaker, Paul Weller, Sleeper, Mansun, Radiohead, Echobelly, Saint Ettiene.. What a time to be alive, God I miss the mid 90s..
on the show they did like 2 weeks ago here in chile they paid homage to steve before playing this song and HOLY SHIT, i'm getting goosebumps just remembering and typing this
Pulp are mid 90s Britpop encapsulated. Its sardonicness, its sexiness, its optimism, its despondencies, its examples of the middle class enjoying being rather working class.
I think it was more that a lot of the lower middle class were only just out of being working class...economically maybe but not psychologically. Alot of wounds carried across from the baby boomer generation that became middle class.
This was always my favourite Pulp song. There's something quite emotional and wistful about it, I thought it was great when it came out in '94 and still do.
i'm nineteen and this song embodies that feeling of restlessness that you sometimes get when you're that young... pulp really just have that air of freedom around them. i get the similar feeling when i listen to the libertines. love them both very much
Come back in 10 years and see if it means the same, then another 10 years and listen again. The great songs are ones that you can derive meaning from in different ways at the different points in your life

JAVIS COCKER Jarvis Branson Cocker (born 19 September 1963) is an English musician and frontman for the band Pulp. Through his work with the band, Cocker became a figurehead of the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s.[1] Following Pulp's hiatus, Cocker has led a successful solo career, and currently presents his own radio show on BBC Radio 6 Music, WHAT A GREAT BLOKE ! VERY RESPECTED !
Track is a reflection on nostalgia, friendship, and a fractured relationship. It tells the story of two people whose relationship has changed over time; the singer is bemoaning the current state of the affair but fondly remembering the "first time" they were together. He acknowledges that she may choose to continue with her current partner, and he is okay with that as long as she still holds a place for him in her heart. The song speaks to the endless cycle of time and how despite change, love can endure.
46yrs old. Every Pulp song teleports me to a moment of my youth. A bittersweet swoop of emotions ranging from joy to despair. Every moment beautiful and poignant. A chord, a chorus, a corresponding thought. I love them.
i’m 18 years old today, i’ve known this song word for word since i was about 8. my step dad often questions how i know all the words to Pulp’s music, to which my mother replies “i’ve brought her up listening to good music that’s why” you have mother, you have.
Eighteen years old. The whole of my life ahead of me and this song embodied that feeling of youthful optimism. Now I listen to this and feel slightly depressed at how fast the last twenty years has passed and all the wasted opportunities.
When highschool was about to end i had the same feeling and I enjoyed every last second with that taste that it will end very soon and somehow me and girl fell in love with each other in our last night as highschool's students
My god, Jarvis always sounds so familiar when it comes to love, he’s just like your old best friend who tell all your feelings just by looking in your eyes
Fuck me Janice! Looking like you you could have anyone, I would give my soul to be one of your bad memories angel. But I think I would have tried my best so I could see you another day. But that is that. Oh well.
Yeah I used to go all the time during my student years in the mid nineties. One of my housemates worked behind the bar, another went out with one of the bouncers and her sister went out with the head of security. They were always round our shared house so I never had to queue to get in and always got served straight away at the bar. Happy days!
Yup. Yup. Sheffield resident since '98. I can totally relate :D A dance floor so sticky you had to keep moving or you'd be glued to the spot in no time :D
i listened to this when i was 14 and i loved it. now i'm 32 and it makes so much more sense. in a really sad way that i would have never understood when i was young.
Saw them live in 95 when I was 14. Necking some cans in an alley before we got in and dancing to this like we would never have a care in the world. The best days :)
This song in their come back concerts in particular is very nostalgic. It is always played first. So the very first sentence you get from the band is "you say you gotta go home". From then on, it is a waking dream for an hour and some, and then you go home and you cry.
As Indonesian people, American musics are more dominating here, in the 90's was very hard to find and buy british band cassette album and I was 16 when I was heavily influenced by British Band like this, Pulp, Blur, Oasis, Radiohead, and the list go on. But I manage to join a little community who love british band, and in that community I can buy british cassete album, usually from Singapore. It was very frustrating to get them at that time, and usually pricier then the album we had in the store. And even today I still have all my cassete album, but almost all of them cant be played anymore because of the mold (my house very humid) These british bands, especially pulp literally shaping my life.
There was in MTV Brazil a show called "Lado B" (literally, "B side"). Every Wednesday, 12:00 AM. I was 16,17 years old, awake, waiting for it. I did enjoy all Pulp videos I saw!
If you're thinking, it wasn't the era, it wasn't the music, it was the magic of being a teen/twenty something. Well I was 7 when this came out, and my life becamely irreversibly awful around 2000. The 90s were pure magic
Yeah to be fair I’m 42 and happier now than when I was younger I’m one of those ppl that life got better for rly I hated been a teenager. I feel the magic now when I listen to this ironically I didn’t even know about this song back then it was a more recent find for me a few years ago and I love it
But it was the music. The 90’s were a magic time for music. I know ppl are nostalgic for their teens or 20’s but they weren’t easy times for everyone. But you could put this on, and feel something incredibly beautiful.
@@phoenixgirl70 Yeah that's exactly my point. I think I wrote it wrong haha. I'm saying everything about the 90s (including the music) was awesome. It was the era, not just your age
this song still makes my heart swell no matter how many times i listen to it... jarvis' genius is still affecting teenagers decades after the song came out!
Pulp always meant more to me than the other bands of the era. The lyrics are phenomenal, the instrumentation isn't obvious, but it has all the flavours of that time. Any teenager getting drunk in a park and trying to chat people up can relate to Pulp songs.
Really starting to realise these guys were better than Oasis and Blur. These are such heart felt songs, amazingly well constructed and soaring guitars. I just wish I had appreciated them back in the day, the nostalgia of top 40s, as an early teen back in the 90s, is strong.
@@inessa5923I can understand why oasis were huge but not really Blur. Song 2 was a decent Little Rock track & Girls & Boys was iconic. Charmless man was ok, Parklife was a bit shit but got massive appeal due to the video & Phil Daniels cameo. Country House was awful & if anyone else had released it, wouldn’t have sold at all. Coffee & Tv was average. Oasis on the other hand dropped a good 20-30 absolute bangers. Pulp, Suede & Feeder were massively underrated in this era.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Not many bands combine goosebumps with just..... Hold up, I really don't know how to put my love for this band into words. Just thanks for the music!!!!!! 😍
People say Oasis and Blur epitomised the Britpop era but for me Pulp had already been going since the 80's and when guitar bands got even more popular Pulp where at the right place and time.
That hook. Had this the day it came out(‘lifted from a Soundwarehouse in OKC) in 1994. To this day this song stands out to me. It builds and builds all into this release of perfect guitar riff. Jarvis and company released an album so out of sync with the times that it remains timeless to this day.
When I look back, I realise these were a gem of a band. The greatest music period of my life 90 - 96 didn't listen to music properly really till 94 and it was oasis but pulp and those bands I remember as such golden times I'll never forget.
Takes me back to the days when I lived in England in the 90's, I wish I could have been at a festival to see them play this song live, it would have been amazing, playing it full blast in my headphones is amazing, I can feel the magic energy, makes me feel like I'm there! Come to Transmit in Glasgow please Pulp!
First saw in 95 when verve guitarist broke hand and had to pull out of supporting oasis in shef and as before internet had no idea that pulp had replaced them till came onstage - what a gig
This is an Era anthem. 90´s anthem. I can´t avoid to feel some melancholic... when and where the good music gone? Pulp was the best band, it was not an indie-alternative-brit band. It was an Era band, glory days. And Jarvis was the most handsome-beautiful one.

Wasn't born yet, but I'm 17 right now and I look forward to this song bringing me back here in the future.
Did you get fingered by a bloke called Dave, the local butcher, at the bus stop?
Same here!!!!

Jarvis is great when it comes to lyrics. He can put a whole era into a song.
Indeed, heck im a third world citizens and i can relate to many of his genius lyrics
Sir, do we actually have an identical profile picture? lol
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time. If any piece of music takes me straight back in time to the 90s, this is it.

i'm nineteen and this song embodies that feeling of restlessness that you sometimes get when you're that young... pulp really just have that air of freedom around them. i get the similar feeling when i listen to the libertines. love them both very much
Yeah they both definitel have that quality.
Come back in 10 years and see if it means the same, then another 10 years and listen again. The great songs are ones that you can derive meaning from in different ways at the different points in your life

Damon and Jarvis both adorable with that blue eyed hairless chest boyish British look.

Yeah, my boys too, ELO, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Wilburys, Pulp... 😉
For an 80s/90s kid, this song is haunting now in the most wonderful, depressing way.
This tune is addicting, and the music video is iconic
Mozza, you are right😌
Eighteen years old. The whole of my life ahead of me and this song embodied that feeling of youthful optimism.
Now I listen to this and feel slightly depressed at how fast the last twenty years has passed and all the wasted opportunities.
I hear ya...
and I read it 5 years later wow. touching comment I've ever read I guess.
Start from now.
I was 24 and felt the same
When highschool was about to end i had the same feeling and I enjoyed every last second with that taste that it will end very soon and somehow me and girl fell in love with each other in our last night as highschool's students
A masterpiece..... still....after all these years.... i am 50 now but i remember this song and how it gave ( and still gives) me the shivers😊❤
Shivers😌

Beautiful!
"Do you remember the first time? I can't remember a worse time"
Simple words, a million of bad memories.
It's "I can't remember the WORST time"

Just saw Pulp last night in Chicago. It was incredible & Jarvis was on 🔥 🔥 🔥. He still has it! ❤
I was at that show too. Jarvis was incredible!
Omg I’m so jealous! I can just imagine. Jarvis just has natural charisma. You don’t lose that!❤
That British Sound... Love it!
I am fifty now but this song reminds me of the first time my heart got broken i was 21 i still think about him to this day
every time i hear this song, I'm transported to a smokey Leadmill in Sheffield in the late 90's, half cut on the dance floor at about 1.30 am
Richard Hall the Leadmill... fuck yes!!!

blur. also better than oasis.

I'm listening to this because in the car to college today my dad was telling me how much he loves this song and how it takes him back, he's 55

This song randomly popped into my head a few days ago, haven't heard it for years, still good.
I love the nod to Cabaret Voltaire’s Sensoria video. Sheffield seems like a great place where they respect and care for their own.
I have said this before but when the stone Roses didnt play Glastonbury , pulp played, the best gig I have ever seen they were awesome
Changing "screw" to "knew" robs the song of a certain vicious bite... Still a Britpop classic, though! Forever.
God, I love that bouncy high guitar figure in this song. It might be a depressing song but that melody always gives me an irony-poisoned little kick.
We live on memories! It’s 2020! Takes me back! God bless us all! KRO
