Back in the days wen u heard something and you couldnt get to the radio fast enough to record it on cassette and u too poor to buy the CD them 90s 00s feels
When this song came out, I had it as .mp3 on my computer (downloaded from Kazaa or copied from a friend.. lol), from which I then made mix CDs to listen on my 5 second buffered discman
@@rubberonasphalt YES! Napster, Kazaa, Limewire. All the classics. We would find tracks without knowing the artist or song title. Our burned cds got maybe 10 good plays out of them. Lol. Great memories.
Or when you finally buy the cd it felt like you struck gold. And listen to it till you got sick of it. The best times! We were so grateful for the small things.
Classic UKGarage, I am SOOOO proud of the garage sound....gems like this makes me think about a time when life was slower and more gentle. Weekends were a toss between going to clubs having UKGarage nights or it sounds sad but staying in and listening to pirate radio stations (ICE F.M 88.4fm) and recording the tracks on CASSETTE ..simple times ❤tooALL
@@donnaevelyn5875 Hello Donna, I waited until Thursdays to Sundays for a London pirate station called IceFM 88.4fm it was such a great time waiting for classic tines to come on with cassette tape....my 15yr old daughter calls me a dinasaur for ever using something like a cassette, I showed her what they she sighed and laughed....
So smooth, so sophisticated, so energetic. I must admit that in hindsight the days when UK Garage ruled the dance floors were by far my favourite clubbing and festival years. Such a pity the sound and scene imploded. I still treasure those years
21 years old this tune is 😳. Reminds me of watching MTV every morning getting ready for school as this tune was always playing. One of my favourite garage tunes .🔥
I love all Artful Dodger songs but this one of theirs is definitely my favourite, the first time I heard it was a total magic to my ears and still is even now! Never gets old
Loool so many peeps here from BGT.... this song is a BANGER... i use to rave to this back in the day and seen him perform this song many many times... long live H&G...
Oh my god, I would godamn STEAL a time machine and seriously go back to 1999 or early 2000 uk .so that I could experience what it was like to grow up and live in that time period. Wow, it mustve been such a great atomsphere.
I watched this guy perform at Spoony’s Garage Classical last night at the Royal Albert Hall and he was just as good as this near on 20yrs later. Should be a super star.
Just seen this geezer on BGT! wow he looks totally different, still an amazing voice thou. Loved this song when it came out, so had a few beers and slapped it on! Thanks BGT for reminding me and good luck Lifford!
This song makes me emotional. Reminds me of the time I nearly fell in love with a married man. Nevertheless, beautiful tune and still love it to this day ❤️
@@samgreen4430 If you're interested in the 'Artful Dodger' story, read 'The Guardian' article on them, and listen to the edition of 'Secrets of a Dance Hit with Ridney' dedicated to them, and hear it all from the proverbial horse's mouth. Both pieces really reveal how 'touch-and-go' the whole 'Artful Dodger' affair was.
The first few lyrics basically explain social distancing. “Baby won’t you keep your distance, you’re getting too close to me, I’ve been feeling my resistance, melting away.” This is a great song!
i heard song before but i never thought he was the one sang the song until watched BGT, nice song and good voice. Best of luck to re-invent yourself (Lifford).
Takes me back, chilling in the back garden with a cold beer, waiting for the night out ahead, early 2000- 2004 the best times to go out, no trouble, no idiots stabbing each other, just people having a good time, garage and rnb days were the best, feel lucky I lived through this era.
His (Lifford's) performance on Britain's Got Talent is undoubtedly Grand Final worthy! He completely deserved the Golden Buzzer, even if there's a hint of nepotism. I reckon he's Top 3 material on BGT. He absolutely deserves a second chance in the music industry. Greetings and love from Australia.
Early 00s was such a cool and classy time for British Urban music and the Garage scene. Good times, much missed now! You can take your modern grime stuff and shove it! haha

Still come back to this track ... 20 plus years ... Under rated classic
Same! Sooooo good!
Back when Artful Dodger and Craig David ruled the club airwaves.
💯
One of the sickest garage grooves of all time ... An almost perfect track!

This went off in the clubs back in the day....Dodger & Craig Davids Crisp sound was so fresh back in 2000🙏🏽
Definitely...

Yes they definitely brought a fresh flavour which was magical hearing it for the first time
I was 11 years old when it came out! What a classic song! It’s timeless
Am 45 years old and it’s a banger still in 2023 .

Was 18 when this came out. Great days of garage clubs.
I’m here for all the people who knew Artful Dodger before BGT
Exactly! This reminds me of secondary school. I'm 30 now
Teabagged want a medal?
Thank you!
thank you mate
Superb all of it. Played for years and never tired of it ... awesome
This was way ahead of its time.. its 2022 and still sounds super fresh
The golden age of garage...hasn't aged a bit since it was first released in 2000
One of theee most under rated UKG classics..
Never ages this tune! His vocals are insane- wish music was like this again !
I remember buying this single in the year 2000!!🙂
My favourite garage anthem off all time!! A early 2000s classic. 👏🏾👍🏾💯👌🏾😍
What a voice Lifford...
TaD D Guess What? He Was On Britain’s Got Talent!
Cl8udz yeah ive just seen it
Cl8udz: Never knew
TaD D now you do!
KᎬᏞᏚᏆᎬ: 👍🏼
It's surreal to finally see the videos to the songs that defined my adolescence, when all I had was a radio and no cable TV. Nostalgia ❤️💔
Masterpiece: UK garage...
pop garage.
J L yep
💯 percent mate
Was my choon back in the days. Ooohhh memories.
Heard this on the radio this morning, has to listen again. Love this track, it just lifts me, makes me smile.
I bought this song on cd single when it was released. Still love it so much to this very day 😍❤
Yellow and red checkered background I think? Was my first ever cd!
I loved this song then
...still love it now because some songs never gets old. BGT and resuscitation of Lifford
Welcome back!!!!!
After many years searching for this fantastic song im putting this on replay all day! Thank you❤
I loved all the artful Dodger songs when they came out . They are all great . This was one of the best ones
Artful Dodger made some proper bangers, but this is definitely one of their best 🔥🔥
Oh the memories, I wish it was still 2000! Where has the time gone! 😩
Talent like this never dies. Thanx for the memories. Gwaan bro!!!!
1999 2000 the Uk Urban vibe found there identity with the Uk garage music scene back in the day not copying the US urban music back in the day.
Too true
This song feels like we heard it in 00's..
That was amazing... love this instrument.
It is from 2000
Loool so many peeps here from BGT.... this song is a BANGER... i use to rave to this back in the day and seen him perform this song many many times... long live H&G...
Omg 😮 how long ago like 20 years ago
He reinvented himself
Love soul ✌️🧘♀️🙏
Still can't live without Artful Dodger's 2step😆
I just heard this song in a shopping centre today on Valentines Day. Brings back childhood memories.
Damn like every 3 or 4 years I come download this track again and play it like 8 times on repeat... The song just so underrated!!!
53 and this never stops,.... let's dance ppl. Love to all
What an album, what a song! Thanks, Lifford.
The man is back with a golden buzzer! Well deserved. Least forget Lynden David hall whilst artful dodger is mentioned.
Aged magnificently. A rare combination of commercial appeal and respected on the underground.

Romina Johnson and Lifford Shillingford and Robbie Craig quality superb artists xxx

K Medi such a tune
Time machine needed yall
Ace tune. Gets u in the 90s vibe :+)
Onwards & upwards with your beautiful family. Beautiful soulful voice. 👏🏻👊🏾
Just seen this geezer on BGT! wow he looks totally different, still an amazing voice thou. Loved this song when it came out, so had a few beers and slapped it on! Thanks BGT for reminding me and good luck Lifford!
Shameful this is only 1.1m views as of viewing - this was a classic; Lifford deserves more.
i comeback every year. Artful Dodger is a legend and all the featuring in this album.
This song makes me emotional. Reminds me of the time I nearly fell in love with a married man. Nevertheless, beautiful tune and still love it to this day ❤️
Okay
Did you bang
It’s All about the Stragglers is a masterpiece album so thank you Artful Dodger. Love from Montreal Quebec
This still sounds so good
I listen this song in 2000 - 2002
The artful dodger killed it
@@brettonwoods9856 Craig David?
@@brettonwoods9856 thanks for explaining the whole artful dodger change of hands. always confused me as to what happened

Beautiful written. Garage to 2024
What a tune & still is.
Golden Buzzer Boy!!!!
chrisandvicky - The guy was awesome! BGT winner maybe. I got Liffords back, don't know about you.
christopher munton ... he certainly deserves another chance as a solo artist for sure!
Wow it was him. I thought he said he was part just part of the band wow
I bet alesha Dixon and him had a moment when they toured together back in the day he must of hit it right to get that golden buzzer 😂😂😂
It's kinda sad most of these comments are from tonight cause of BGT. Hardly any comments before. Such an under rated song/singer 😦
I don't even watch BGT but I remember this tune from back in the day. Pretty sick tune by mainstream music standards.
it's kinda sad that you think you're better than others who discovered the track through some show and want to know more.
Going on BGT is degrading for saying he had this big hit back in the day. Feel sorry for him.
He should've done a solo album like Craig David they both started with the artful Dodger in the same time .. And they're equally talented
@@XGemz18X Yeah such a shame mental health had such a big impact on him.
2021 i still listen to it.
What a tune
On Britain's got talent tonight...2018
Baggiesssss
Artful dodger tunes vibes make me remember old days good times good vibes 🎶👀👌🙏
Takes me back 20 years
The first few lyrics basically explain social distancing. “Baby won’t you keep your distance, you’re getting too close to me, I’ve been feeling my resistance, melting away.” This is a great song!
I listen this song when I was 1 years old in October 2000 & now I’m 24 years old
Garage at its best. Lyrical, soulful.
i heard song before but i never thought he was the one sang the song until watched BGT, nice song and good voice. Best of luck to re-invent yourself (Lifford).

Good back in the day...
Big tune even in 2018
Glen Ferns : Still a banger in 2019 🔥
Watched this video last week and bam this guy just so happens to be on Britain’s got Talent last night. What a guy.
His on BGT now his now a soul singer and his got the gold buzzer
Jack Thompson he's on BGT right
You kidding mate? hes been around for years
god the album was one of my favorites. this was played no end
Under rated!! Takes me back to a better time 😢
totally deserved that golden buzzer
His (Lifford's) performance on Britain's Got Talent is undoubtedly Grand Final worthy! He completely deserved the Golden Buzzer, even if there's a hint of nepotism. I reckon he's Top 3 material on BGT. He absolutely deserves a second chance in the music industry. Greetings and love from Australia.
