If this magnificent Duo ever reads this, I wish to share my gratitude for their graceful return to bless us all with the Magic they call music & lyrics ... welcome back home dear ones. You were sorely missed as deeply as the sounds you convey for us all to dip into again. 🙏THANK YOU.
Wow, before reading your comment I was thinking the same as you if I would have the chance to see them in person ! Please, Tracy and Ben come to Mexico
I guess what makes me most happy about this is that they are still together, and they still love working and being together. The fact that I still love their music doesn't hurt, lol.
This is proof for all of us who are the same age as this magnificent duo that we are all still alive. Older, wiser a bit worn but still living and making the best lives we can. Thank you EBTG, we still need you!
I'm so happy to see both of these people being their genuine selves and not trying to look like they did in the 90s. Time has taken its toll on all of us, but it's also given us gifts. This video reminded me of that fact and I'm grateful.
... I was born in 1966... I first heard ETBTG in 1984. ETBTG has been with me ever since... I'm probably a person who tends towards melancholy. In principle, ETBTG's music doesn't make it any easier... But: It has given me so many hours of being with myself... I'm very grateful for that. If I could sing... I would sing like ETBTG :-). Again, I'm very grateful here... Thank you.
What a great video - no auto tune, no incessant flashing lights, no background dancers. Just a casual, chill session by an awesome duo. Tracey's vocals are so finely tuned.
Discovered EBTG in 83 or 84, and was transfixed. Now all these years later I look around and see that so many others see what I do too. Isn't it just a wonderful feeling? So glad to see them back!
Just when we needed them the most, the came back. My teenage angst disappeared when I snapped Tracy and Ben into my Sony Walkman. Can't wait for more... and a tour...
I fell in love with EBTG in 1990 while on tour with my own band. During the long hours traveling, we would all share music we had brought along with each other, and our bass player had a copy of The Language of Life. I basically "took it away from him". All I wanted to do on that tour was listen to that CD over and over again. While we were going down the road the other guys in the band were playing various songs on the stereo system, but I had my little portable CD player and my headphones on listening to Driving and all the other incredible song on that album. It was transformative for me because I had never heard a voice like Tracy's before or since. I am so grateful to be able to hear this wonderful musical treasure making music again. I feel like I am late to the party, and almost embarrassed I have not discovered this newest offering until now. Thank you Tracy and Ben for all the years of joy and musical inspiration you have given me and everyone who loves your music. I miss you. To echo an earlier comment, we ALL still need you. In fact the whole world needs you!
It moves me so deeply to see you two ageing in such a natural and pleasant way and stay so young and timeless in your music. Walking wounded, Temperamental and Fuse: Three soundtracks of my life.
You simply can't argue Tracey & Ben have written the most astonishing tracks over the years and posses an incredible talent to project images through the power of music.
There's something about this song that just stays with you. It reminds me of the first time I heard Driving, and Talk To Me Like The Sea.. and of course, Missing
Tracey Thorn has always been one of my all time favorite female vocalists. Such a pure and flawless voice and Ben Watt's talents are truly exceptional.
Used to listen to EBTG a lot in '93/'94. Finally encountered this song. Seeing the change between the two era's really lays out my own life in front of me. It's been a while.
I am a woman "of a certain age," who also sings. I have been struggling with my singing voice, and started reading a book called "Singing Through Change". Listening to Tracey's rich voice is such a treat. Her voice has aged beautifully, "like a fine wine." I love "comebacks"(sorry, I don't even like that word)
Nice. Beautiful track. We all know Everything but the Girl from our childhood/teenage years maybe even my early twenties, I can't remember when they first appeared. They're one of those bands that have a permanent place in our memories. It's good to see them back, and with the same class and quality as before.
...the melancoly and the poetry of my fifteen came back in a minute...me and some close friends used to listen to english music of the eighties from a little italian town, Sanremo. Luckily we have a music festival in town and our heroes came here one day or another: Everything but the girl, Smiths, Terence Trent D'arby, Curiosity killed the cat, Sade, Prefab Sprout....glorious and romantic days
What I love about this song is how the lyrics reflect this inflated optimism, bragging, breaking rules, etc, and yet the delivery is so thoughtful and almost pained at times, then slowing into beautiful softness and the echoes of loops at the end. It's so many things at once. Poised and brilliant, shot through with a ton of hopes and dreams.
If you still don't know what real music is, come here and you'll find out straight away. So minimal, so refreshing. We so much need this, these days. Thanks guys for being back! ❤
@@eugene2655 I think it’s the tone that I still love. I see what you mean, her voice has matured, but there’s something in there that still takes me back
I can remember buying their first solo albums before they teamed up as a duo. This is a group that released albums at significant points in my life and looking back, I am amazed at how important their songs were to me thru the years. Very few groups survived thru the 80's and 90's- Eurythmics, Sade, Madonna, Simply Red come to mind. It's nice to grow older with your favorites.
Your class and longevity are top notch, my x wife recently died at the young age of 56 she was American and she adored you guys, we saw you in New York in the late 80s.
This track just gets more and more important to me every time I hear it. Nothin I have heard in 2023 has come close to having the impact it has on me.❤
This is amazing. I still can’t believe I’m listening news songs from this duo. Always my favorite, been listening to them since I was 14yrs old. Even named my son after a song of them!
It's about time this album is long overdue. I have been listening to some of your old albums lately and getting a little nostalgic and thinking about a lot of my old mates and the good times when I was younger living in London and abroad. And I want to say thank you to you both for the memories, and I am looking forward to listening to your new album.
Tracy and Ben are amazing. I've been a fan since Amplified Heart and so glad to see them back in the study....what some 24 years later. They still got it!! We want more..
the soundtrack of my life since north marine drive .Love them as a couple ,love them as musicians .They bring hope .We need it ! Thank you for coming back to soundtrack this beleaguered nation .
Where did the years go?? Aging has been a struggle over the past couple of years. I have lost the vibrancy of my youth and wonder everyday where this life is taking me. This song hit me tonight like a ton of bricks and reminded me that I still have some life as long as I am still here. I want to breathe, I want to offer passion, I want to feel, I want to rekindle that flicker of ambition. Let us taste the moments that we all hope to feel again as we age.
Still remember the first time I heard the rich tones & fab songs of EBTG - '86, Sunday afternoon, Virgin Records Aberdeen. Baby the stars shine bright was playing when I entered the shop. Unbelievable sound so straight to the counter & asked what it was. Album bought after hearing 1st track! Like so many others, I pretty much wore that album out!. So happy to hear the interview on 6music & looking forward to getting my hands on Fuse
Devastatingly Beautiful. I remember I was Driving when I heard this on Sirius… And almost Ran a Red Light indeed. Haven’t stopped listening… Just added more EBTG to my playlists ❤
Glad to see this duo still cranking out excellence .- Their sound kind of paralleled Sade sound in a sophista-pop way at that time early 90’s . I’d listen to them then listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn next night . former girlfriend turned me on to this music - kind why I liked my baby dont love me -this music is exceptional listening to language of life on my flight now and some of the remixes. Take me , Imagining America - great stuff cant believe it’s 33 years on.
Tracey I don't think any of us can comprehend how good your voice sound. From "Eden" until NOW. Yet another brilliant installment from you and Ben. It makes me so happy that you took this project on. This song is truly beautiful.. the QUALITY of this video - the feel, the mood and most importantly your voice. Poetic. The very moment your voice drops I was filled with raw emotions and grabs a hold of me and doesn't let go. It feels timeless and beautiful . You’ve made it feel like I was the only one sitting in that studio. I felt I was really there!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I remember where I was the first time I heard "Driving." I was driving (what else?) at night through the desert somewhere east of LA, and the song completely captivated me. I love their music!
I loved Missing, Driving, Single and the remix versions were always interesting and sometimes challenging as this isn’t always my usual go to style of music . Hearing this I’m back in love with them . National treasure.
What a soundscape. Tracy's voice and piano, but i love the sine tone sounds, which occasionally become granular and bent. Then that hazy ethereal ending. WOW
I remember seeing them in concert in the mid eighties. They knocked it out of the park then and they are still knocking it out of the park today. Perfect.

Sorely missed indeed!
I love their work since their inception LONGE time ago!
Well said !

Yes , is so true, i feel we need them we really need them, our soul needs them. I love them and their entire body of work. Beautiful duo ❤
Beautifully said.
@@diamondeye75 thank you, so kind. ♡
Older but still effortlessly cool !!!
I just noticed that there’s only 1 week age difference between Tracey Thorn and me. I’m 61 too. She inspires me to do more with my life. ❤️
I'm so happy to see both of these people being their genuine selves and not trying to look like they did in the 90s. Time has taken its toll on all of us, but it's also given us gifts. This video reminded me of that fact and I'm grateful.

1964 here! I feel the same
EBTG.
1966 too! 😁
Tracey’s voice has matured like the finest of wines. I’ve loved these guys from the Cherry Red days to now.
I totally disagree : her lilt is now almost masculine and doesn't have the same impact..just my opinion..
@@paulcamacho360 The song was written in a lower key to give it a warm feel, her high vocals are still there in the backing harmonies.
This is like magic. It's been so many years. I believe again.
Tracey has a voice that can make a grown man cry even if she’s singing from the telephone book.
I agree... I am 38, and... I...
What a great video - no auto tune, no incessant flashing lights, no background dancers. Just a casual, chill session by an awesome duo. Tracey's vocals are so finely tuned.
I agree, but there seems to be a bit of autotune (pitch correction) used in some places. Subtle, but always unnecessary.
Traceys voice is unrecognizable. It becomes a big voice.
Nothing wrong with any of those things. Stop being pretentious.
Their official music vid for this song has beautiful choreography dancing
' no autotune ' tells me this person is just spouting cliches
Utterly utterly gorgeous. No words. It’s been a hard day. You’ve just made it a hell of a lot better.
Coming back to this. Best marriage counseling ever: making a band and creating amazing music for the world.
Discovered EBTG in 83 or 84, and was transfixed. Now all these years later I look around and see that so many others see what I do too. Isn't it just a wonderful feeling? So glad to see them back!
Just when we needed them the most, the came back. My teenage angst disappeared when I snapped Tracy and Ben into my Sony Walkman. Can't wait for more... and a tour...
I never imagined her voice could get even better. These two are sublime. ETBTG forever!
This for me is the song of the year.

What a performance, beautifully understated, her voice is so gorgeous and the atmosphere created is sublime
Her voice sounds better now; deeper and more resonant.
It moves me so deeply to see you two ageing in such a natural and pleasant way and stay so young and timeless in your music. Walking wounded, Temperamental and Fuse: Three soundtracks of my life.
You simply can't argue Tracey & Ben have written the most astonishing tracks over the years and posses an incredible talent to project images through the power of music.
Absolutely!

Something special about this track. Great video as well...
Goosebumps all over ; what a stunning song and performance; Tracy’s voice wow
There is a glorious maturity now to Tracy's voice. A new chapter and a welcome return.
Tracey Thorn has always been one of my all time favorite female vocalists. Such a pure and flawless voice and Ben Watt's talents are truly exceptional.
I love Tracy Thorn's voice.
Nice to know there are still true artists in our era.
Here lies the reason why I bought the first album. and my god, what a triumphant return. Stunningly beautiful. Well worth the wait!
Used to listen to EBTG a lot in '93/'94. Finally encountered this song.
Seeing the change between the two era's really lays out my own life in front of me.
It's been a while.
One of my best summers was when from the radio I heard the following....."and I miss you..oh oh...like the deserts miss the rain"...👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am a woman "of a certain age," who also sings. I have been struggling with my singing voice, and started reading a book called "Singing Through Change". Listening to Tracey's rich voice is such a treat. Her voice has aged beautifully, "like a fine wine." I love "comebacks"(sorry, I don't even like that word)
I love that her register is lower. Easier for men of a certain age to sing along. As I always love singing to Tracy Thorn and Ben Watt. LOVE them.
@shakers97 get a grip
Nice. Beautiful track. We all know Everything but the Girl from our childhood/teenage years maybe even my early twenties, I can't remember when they first appeared.

Beautifully melancholic. Understated and so atmospheric.
All true fans will appreciate not only the comeback but the ability to constantly produce timelles classics. ❤
And will have been following both of their fantastic solo work 😉
Yeah two classics on this LP is great, first album in 30 years is very far from constant tho
The master of London Grammar, from the 90s. Big music in all the times.
Wow, it's as each and everyone only came out yesterday welcome back. 🎶🎶
Wow this is why we need 6 Music !!!
Totally agree 🤘😃🤘📻
What I love about this song is how the lyrics reflect this inflated optimism, bragging, breaking rules, etc, and yet the delivery is so thoughtful and almost pained at times, then slowing into beautiful softness and the echoes of loops at the end.

If you still don't know what real music is, come here and you'll find out straight away.
So minimal, so refreshing.
We so much need this, these days.
Thanks guys for being back! ❤
The highest compliment I've ever paid someone was when I said "You remind me of Tracey Thorn." Bravo you two.
Aged like a fine wine. What a sweet track.
EBTG returns after 24 years, dazzling more than ever. Thanks for Fuse! So glad that you are still putting out music.
Her voice is just as perfect as I remember as a teenager
It sounds lovely, but it's so very different now, of course.
I think her voice is a little bit deeper?❤
my impression is the opposite. voice has changed a lot((((
@@eugene2655 I think it’s the tone that I still love. I see what you mean, her voice has matured, but there’s something in there that still takes me back
Recognisable but different yet still beautiful 😊 great track
Saw them in the 90s in a small intimate club in Southern California.
Best memory ever.
Still have deep love for Everything But The Girl❤
SO COOL!!!
I just love you guys. As an old man, I find in your music, a memory of youth and the peace to grow old without regrets. Kia kaha te aroha nui.
I was at your farewell concert - Hammersmith- cried my eyes out - so glad your back,- please play small live venues. Your timeless💚☘️
Just fantastic, I love how Tracey’s voice has darkened and the music is sublime. Bravo!
I listen to EBTG every day. Thank you for existing.
I'm 65, and this makes me feel like a teenager again. I love EBTG.
Really? 60 here and it makes me feel 60. Dramatic change in her voice but I still like it.
Is anyone else feeling their heart breaking but it feels good hearing this? Not sure that makes sense but that's what their music does to me
Yes! Exactly
Absolutely xxx
Cannot believe it is almost 30 yrs since I first heard “Missing.” Love listening to them.
It's amazing to be able to meet two wonderful people again㊗️
I can remember buying their first solo albums before they teamed up as a duo. This is a group that released albums at significant points in my life and looking back, I am amazed at how important their songs were to me thru the years. Very few groups survived thru the 80's and 90's- Eurythmics, Sade, Madonna, Simply Red come to mind. It's nice to grow older with your favorites.
Tracey’s voice has a beautiful tone too it, really matured, shivers down my spine as I listen to this.
Your class and longevity are top notch, my x wife recently died at the young age of 56 she was American and she adored you guys, we saw you in New York in the late 80s.
THIS ALBUM MUST BE PERFORMED LIVE!!!!! yes I am yelling. BRILLIANT.
Tracey's voice is pure MAGIC 🌟🌈🌟
In the era we are in, this sounds and feels like the beauty we need. Thank you EBTG & BBC.
Fantastic atmosphere! They still got it.
i love them since the beginning
Beautiful. The live session is just incredible.
Mature and alluring even after all these years. True talent
Amplified Heart and Walking Wounded are my favorite albums. Nice to hear and see them again ! ❤
Sends shivers down my spine. Looking forward to the new album!
Like fine wine❤
You are part of the soundtrack of my life. I love you. Thank you.
The synth work on this is track is so thoughtful , in between the richness of the piano and voices. Beautiful music.
Tracy's voice is still captivating!
This is brilliant! ❤
Am I glad to be able to listen and watch these two perform this song.
This track just gets more and more important to me every time I hear it. Nothin I have heard in 2023 has come close to having the impact it has on me.❤
Wow , that punched me right in the soul , truly beautiful , I truly think some peoples voices are like wine , they get more body and grit over time
❤❤❤one of my favourite band’s
Mir liefen grade die Tränen weil ich nicht darauf gefasst war. Wunderschön diese beiden wieder zu hören fast wie in den 80er . Ich liebe es❤️❤️👏👏🖖🇩🇪🖖
This is amazing. I still can’t believe I’m listening news songs from this duo. Always my favorite, been listening to them since I was 14yrs old. Even named my son after a song of them!

Good to see them still together❤
Genuinely world class.
Ran into someone in Marin wearing a rock tee of their logo and said “I love that band” he told me they have a new record coming out ::: thank friend 😊

Quel plaisir de réentendre la voix de Tracy Thorne, enfin un nouvel album au top, bravo et merci
Devastatingly Beautiful. I remember I was Driving when I heard this on Sirius… And almost Ran a Red Light indeed. Haven’t stopped listening… Just added more EBTG to my playlists ❤

Yet another brilliant installment from you and Ben. It makes me so happy that you took this project on.
This song is truly beautiful.. the QUALITY of this video - the feel, the mood and most importantly your voice.
Poetic. The very moment your voice drops I was filled with raw emotions and grabs a hold of me and doesn't let go. It feels timeless and beautiful . You’ve made it feel like I was the only one sitting in that studio. I felt I was really there!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I caught the interview on BBC radio 6, can't wait to hear the rest of the new music. Pure joy.
Beautiful...I think I like this more than the album version...
I remember where I was the first time I heard "Driving." I was driving (what else?) at night through the desert somewhere east of LA, and the song completely captivated me. I love their music!
I loved Missing, Driving, Single and the remix versions were always interesting and sometimes challenging as this isn’t always my usual go to style of music . Hearing this I’m back in love with them . National treasure.
Same here. It will take a little bit of replay to get used to that much deeper sound...but I'm diggin it so far.
Oh a return to rainy Sunday mornings w/☕️🐈⬛🥃 & NYT crossword. Lyrics that caress & gently inspire.
😊 40 years...my ❤ beats 4 them, still!! 😊 Amazing...ageless!!!
Voice. Instrument. Atmosphere. This is music, art.
Stunning performance, Tracey is one of the best singers in the world. Welcome back guys, you were missed
Utterly beautiful... So melodic yet understated 👏
What a soundscape. Tracy's voice and piano, but i love the sine tone sounds, which occasionally become granular and bent. Then that hazy ethereal ending.
WOW
My first concert, and the most magical. Thanks to these two incredibly talented artists.
Well said.
30 sec in and Ive got chills like its 1987 again....God Im so glad theyre back.
My favorite song on the new album.
I remember seeing them in concert in the mid eighties. They knocked it out of the park then and they are still knocking it out of the park today. Perfect.
What an amazing vocalist
