Ian Brown has been ahuge part of life since i was 15 years old back in 94. I am obsessed with The Roses and obviously King Monkey himself. I had no confidence in myself until thos guy fed it to me. Thevway i dressed and still dress, Adidas mad and the haircut. He put a bit of a swagger in my step and its carrried me well into my 40's. This tune was mine and and old girlfriends go to song.
I like this, it’s sat with me for a good while now. I saw Mr Brown, he was in Manchester. I smiled at the man and for a moment I thought it was a friend I knew, but then I realised it was Ian. Well I didn’t speak to you but I have to tell you, your ‘the man’ . Your music speaks to me, I’ve heard many interviews that you have done. I heard you speak about how you were gonna grow flowers when you left the Roses, and how you went to B and Q and thought , right I’m gonna buy some loft insulation and make a studio and start again. Jesus man you speak volumes to me. I write song, there’s some on here. I went to a pub by your house, it was a wake. I stood suited and booted and the bar girl said she had known you for years. I saw the paintings of you and the great Tony Wilson. You presented hope to me Mr Brown, you see I write, play and sing. There’s some tracks on here..take a listen. But most of all keep those lungs healthy fella. This sounds stalkers like. But we drove past your house, I wanted to look at it. Beautiful place, I wanted to see what it must be like to wake in the morning and piece words together that have such validity that they are then lovingly worked into songs and anthems, I wanted to see how in turn you had changed them into the roof above your head. I felt that if I saw that it might inspire me, it might make me not die with my music still in me. God bless you Ian, you made your words monumental, you created a legacy. I saw you in a gig in Manchester, man I couldn’t here you for the crowd. They were so loyal, so faithful, you believed in the vibrance of your dreams and you painted the picture like a canvas. Whilst other could only picture it. Now have a cup of tea and listen to my offering. ruclips.net/video/i-nXo4clqsQ/видео.html
I remember watching this on TOTP instantly obsessed and went through a big brownie period🔥still love his first 3 solo albums!! Man was a vibe🙌🏻looked cool AF too
This is just so effing brilliant, isn’t it? Love the 60s guitar licks and then unusual rhythms And the lyrics, just wrapped me up, his is an unusual mind. That’s for sure.
A quick note to congratulate Ian for pulling out of a show that requires vaccination status for entry. Any songwriter worth their salt should be taking this stance. The people enforcing this truly do have "corpses in their mouths."
@@MarvinSumpter It takes a phenomenal degree of narcissism and myopia to prioritise art over public health. And spare me the pseudoscientific "it's just a tool so THEY can suppress US" victim complex whining.
I used to love this song as a teenager. I think it was on MTV and I quickly scribbled down the name and title to remember. The beautiful tune was in my mind for years. I started to search for it a couple of years ago. I'm still in love with it. And it throws me back in time to my carefree childhood years...
Say what you like but I say Bob Dylan ,John Lydon and of the same calibre is the legend that is Ian Brown, absolutely outstanding and make no mistake a true marathon man...

Totally remember this coming out I was blown away. The hole album is Amazing. Thanks Mr Brown for all the great tunes you have done and still to do. 👌🏴
That’s truth. Now I’ve watched a few Aziz’s videos talking about his evolution from “the only Pakistani rockabilly” to what he’s done lately, is remarkable. And now I’m hearing things I’d missed.
Awesome track! Bought this album when it was brand new just before going around the world backpacking or a year! Bought a harmonica because of this song! Learned to play it!! Great memories 1998!
No, Brown is Liam's biggest inspiration I met him at Glastonbury in the empty crowd well before Brown came on. I virtually dissed Liam Gallagher to his face a few times but he humbly came back and agrees with every one of my points. He was a proper sound bloke. Still don't like oasis thoUGH
This guy is an absolute genius! Well entitled to his opinion on Covid vaccinations. The word Legend is thrown about too much nowadays but this lad truly is.
Love the Roses but prefer Ians solo stuff. This video reminds me of the time around 2001 when I actually bumped into Ian when changing from the northern line to central at Bank tube station. He was carrying a speaker on his shoulder almost as big as him. He was as cool as fuck.
I remember when I came back from surf club and my dad came to pick me up from surf club and he had this blasting at full volume, And now it’s mine and his favorite song.
Loved and still love this album , absolutely cracking debut album off Ian , loved his early solo stuff my Star, Corpses, Dolphins , keep what ya got all Boss tunes
This song takes me back to dancing in the world night club in Warrington, good times sad they knocked it down no where as good since then love Ian brown and the Stone Roses :O) Cutting the word crack out only makes more people notice it and say it so kinda backfires on what there trying to do..Crazy!!!

O my days lost with out the rose’s & Ian brown then solo 💫 got the chance to see them play Phoenix Park Dublin💯dream come true
Underrated tune big time
I'm with ya brother, Roses forever, Ian is brilliant, as is Reni , John, and Mani.
Best song Brown ever did, no doubt about that at all..... That little chorus lick is SWEET.....
I myself can't make my mind up what Ian brown is my favourite there's that many. 👌
Too many...
Aziz
It is just superb.
Nah Time is my everything
There's cool, then there's Ian Brown.
And then Johnny Marr

Stunning track, as good as anything he did with the Roses
+SteveResin Majority of his work is and thiers more.Ians the man.stone roses
You have no clue! he's still the man! If Ian wasn't in the roses, I'm not sure if they would be who they are. To me, every member's part was epic!

Those cheekbones!!
Yes.. He's beautiful
Looks malnourished in a cool way
A classic tune from a true legend. Summer live shows getting me through lockdown
Underrated tune!!! In fact one of his best x

That guitar just give me goosebumps
KIng Monkey . Class album blew me away esp live . Real talent
Ian looks like he can't be lied to, he'll just stare at your bare soul. I think I look like that too. I don't have many friends.
None of us who speak and live truth do 😎
brilliant comment
Such a beautiful melancholic song.
Just realised Ian and musicians of his ilk are preserving old England. I didn't grow up there, but grew up on the sounds.
Pretty underrated this? Absolutely love it
Not by me. Fave tune of all time..
Well done. Possibly for the first correct use of underrated in a RUclips comment!
takes me back to 1998!!!! amazing year with amazing mates... ian brown you made my 18th a memory that will last, cheers
Coolest man on earth
Awesome track! Bought this album when it was brand new just before going around the world backpacking or a year! Bought a harmonica because of this song! Learned to play it!! Great memories 1998!
Hi pal what key is the harp?
The coolest video and song possibly ever made by by possibily the coolest man of all time
an outstanding song,truly mesmeric...Ian Brown is a nonpareil of British music,a titanic influence.
The guitar riff is just Fuckin amazing!
GamersRevengeUK Agreed 😀
Aziz
The man's got never-ending carisma, clearly Liam Gallagher's biggest inspiration
Thought that was lennon
well both of them isn't it, you can also see some of Lennon in Ian Brown
That's just Manchester folk
When you see Brown...Gallagher looks like a poor knock off
No, Brown is Liam's biggest inspiration I met him at Glastonbury in the empty crowd well before Brown came on. I virtually dissed Liam Gallagher to his face a few times but he humbly came back and agrees with every one of my points. He was a proper sound bloke. Still don't like oasis thoUGH
Damn every song I listen too just keeps getting better & better how is this possible.
mic preamp clipping
I love since second coming
Standing the test of time pretty well this one is. That guitar work is A1.
Been listening to this track for years and only just seen the original video clip for it... I always find it odd when that happens :)
Love Ian brown so much I even walk like him after having my local Indian
2022 & Mr Brown is more relevant than ever.
This guy is an absolute genius! Well entitled to his opinion on Covid vaccinations. The word Legend is thrown about too much nowadays but this lad truly is.
Hes top lad. Watch out for his demonisation in media now hes spoken out
Well said. We need more songwriters who remember what it was to be human to take the same stance.
One of the few rockstars to still stick it to the establishment. Even if sometime he comes across as being a bit mental I agree with him.
Not only entitled to his opinion, but he’s right, I don’t know how he knew so early.
But he’s correct.

@@GT380man dr yeadon? Really? No way! Enjoyed dr yeadon on the dellingpod but doesnt strike me as an ian brown fan (musically)

2019 and Truly one of the best songs ever written, just another epic tune from a Legend. Not many kicking about now!
Anyone here 2020?
Oasis and The Stone Roses are immortal of course my friend.
I’m aware this is Ian Brown’s solo stuff but my point still stands
Never fukin left
I'm here from September 2020 after he announced he's an anti-vaxxer who thinks Covid is a hoax lmfao

Lyrics. :
You tell lies when the truth will do
You are the social chameleon, what on earth we gonna do with you?
Slip your neck into a rope,
Show me a smile
You'd run a mile
Then you are free, so where's the goal?
Where's the style? You want the dough
Got Dead Sea Scrolls for you
And your women too
She's got corpses in her mouth
Still she's holding hands with you
It's cut like crystal chandeliers
I'll shine like diamonds in her ears
She smokes crack, it's off the beaten track
You're the social chameleon,
Yes, you change to suit the people around you
It's like the waves that hit the shore
You cannot stand the force of law
Look man, I know it from your nature
Hit the deck as the creator
Got Dead Sea Scrolls for you
And your women too
She's got corpses in her mouth
Still she's holding hands with you
It's cut like crystal chandeliers
I'll shine like diamonds in her ears
She's got corpses in her mouth
Still she's holding hands with you
It's cut like crystal chandeliers
I'll shine like diamonds in her ears
She's got corpses in her mouth
