Im 17 and all i can say is that this music from the 90s is amazing. The shit today is so bad. Wish i grew up in a more simpler and fun time with good music and good times :/
I am from Moscow, and d like to say that I grew up listening to the inspiring, great British rock music of the 20th century( mainly progressive and psychodelic rock) . Without it my life would so poor. Some of the most significant days in my life were when i visited Roger Waters’s and Deep Purple concerts , when they were here in Moscow. This music can equally praise up to the sky and destruct us and that’s why it has always been so breathtaking. Thank you Great Britain for your culture, for your style, for your music and for dreamy, talented boys from your industrial cities , who had been creating some of the most beautiful non material heritage of our world
sorry to hear that. If you have a hard time remembering bands, please listen to my playlist. I have been collecting songs for years that I grew up listening to. It's a list of 80s and 90s alternative. Hope you enjoy. I have a lot of them! th-cam.com/play/PLA6FE64F76AB88C95.html
As I approach 50 years on this planet the things I wish I'd believed when I was younger are :- 1. Youth is wasted on the young! 2. You'll never be happier than you were when you were a school kid. 3. Life is short. 4. You can create your own future! 5. Live every day as if it were your last. 6. Money is temporary. You can't take it with you. They're all true kids! I doubt I'll see a 51st year!
American bands could never produce music such as this, they never understand the pain in a working class home with no money, rainy cold and miserable outdoors All these guys and guys like them had was a dream and the know how to express their lives in the estates
Do you think all of the USA is warm and tropical?! I am from Manchester too but I know enough about the US to know that the majority of it has vastly worse winters than we do. Super cold winters with sub zeros and snow. Also, a large part of the US suffered the working class break down that Manchester suffered in the 80s. The 'Rust belt'. It has as much depression as Manchester.
Girl I fancied at a BBQ party was telling me about how much she loved this band, how they were timeless. It didn’t go anywhere with her, and I can’t remember her anymore as that was 15 odd years ago. But I still remember Inspiral Carpets, so she will always have my thanks.
Said goodbye to my childhood friend today. Rest easy Kev, this jam always reminds me of you. You were a trail blazer in 1990 and you showed the way. God bless mate 🙏 rest easy pal. Will miss ya.
Unsung heroes from the 90's Manchester scene, truly inspirational song, right up there with the very best from that era, didn't get the appraisal of other high profile bands during that time, but this classic song endears itself securely into the annals of pop music history.
I had the pleasure of working with Tom Hingley last night and he’s still got the voice and the Madchester attitude. It was an honour to share the stage with him.
So ahead of it's time lyrically, no one spoke of mental health back then, brave and brilliant, so touching, with syd barrett floyd era overtones, great to be 25 when this came out a true classic

RIP Craig Gill. What a talented bunch of guys that were way ahead of there time. This is one of those songs that can mean so much to so many people in so many different ways. Thanks for the memories guys 🤘
@@boogieboy1974 no Craig was the drummer. Apparently he struggled with tinnitus for couple of decades, it caused sleep deprivation,anxiety and in the end he couldn't deal with it anymore. Or That's what I read at the time. Sad state of affairs, the guy had wife and kids. Terrible for all concerned
This song reminds me of my youth, getting into the wrong crowd, getting caught up with a massive cocaine addiction, fucking everything up that I touched, realising my mistakes, sorting my shit out, and getting clean. God bless.
As a Chinese kid growing up infatuated with Manchester music, being on Craig's tour in the summer of 2016 was the best day of my life. I had no idea you were suffering. May you find peace and good music in heaven.
As an American I was fortunately introduced to the Inspirals and the Manchester scene by an incredible Toronto music station (cfny). Sad to hear of the passing. Along with the Charlatans, might be one of the better and certainly least appreciated bands ever here in the U.S. RIP and prayers to the family, friends and fans.
The music is what I grew up listening to some, like joy division a little early for me ,but love them ,then new order definitely my era. Glad you had the radio station,great memories.!
Oh yes, CFNY. Probably the reason for my eclectic taste in music.Grew up listening to CFNY 30 some years ago. Been in Vancouver since my early 20's, so thanks for the memory!!!!!!
I moved to a new town during my Jr high school days and I listened to Inspiral Carpets, Lightning Seeds, Stone Roses, The Ocean Blue, etc to help with the change. Still listening damn over 30 years later!
This is how it feels to be lonely.... This is how feels to be small... Feeling lonely and listening to 80s and 90s music in the era of Covid 19....thank god for the power of music!
As a child looking at those who are supposed to listen or protect. This record brings so much back of a shit childhood. I am happy now and life can change for the better. Meeting the right one helps tremendously, I lucky 33 years with the one I love, thanks Inspiral Carpets
That is SO Beautiful & Truely Extra Blessed to have had that True Friendship & Companionship Thru Life’s Journey. Is Also Marvellous that You Embrace & Not Take for Granted as I’ve experienced the opposite thru life’s journey, now 55 & lived most my adulthood by myself. It’s so refreshing to hear a person positively acknowledge their partner. God Bless & Wishing you & yours Only Future Peace, Love & Happiness 💕❤️💕
I'm now 51 years of age and loved this song when it first came out. When ever "This Is How It Feels" is played on the radio with it's dark melodys with a happy beat keeps going around my head for the rest of the day. It's with out doubt a one off quality tune that could ever be repeated..Pure fucking class to the Inspiral Carpets :) :) :)
I had no concept of what they were singing about when I first heard this as a teenager. Many years later I get it. I get it on so many levels as someone who has lost far to many family and friends to depression. Thank you boys for being ahead of the curve and making it sound great!
its not for you, its for men ! women have no idea what lonliness feels like ! your privelidge is faaaarrrr tooo high, you guys get like 1000 offers every week, you will have no idea what its like to spend decades alone possibly forever alone, with noone !
@@mcpartridgeboy Are you a woman? No? then you don't know what you're talking about. Also if you listen to the lyrics it's clearly for both women AND men.
i see you don't listen to music, you feel the music, don't you? you wouldn't be an empath too?

rip graig gill ...ended his life because the torture of tinnitus in his ears and mental health .. the drummer and founder of this great band ..great era glad i was part of it
I don't know if it is coincidence but I started to develop tinnitus in my late 30s, despite never listening to things on 'loud', I thought I would just have to live with it. However, at the age of 39, last year, I decide to quit alcohol (I've been a bit of a heavy boozer, probably a 'normal' level for a northern bloke) and in the past year my tinnitus has slowly but surely subsided. As I say, it may be coincidence, but it has almost completely gone away now. They do say high blood pressure can be a contributing factor to tinnitus and heavy boozing is a contributing factor to high blood pressure. It might be worth exploring (of course, that is if you are a drinker to start with!).
I'm from Manchester and there's so many Manc songs that evoke emotion, but none quite as much as this does, brings a tear to my eye every time for so many reasons... Snake Pass.
Wow. The memories. The Madchester Scene, the burgeoning rave scene. All the great bands of that time. There was something in the air, it was bristling. Incredible. I had this in my sony-walkman and just let the whole (great) album play (good old 'autoreverse' :). What happened to music guys? WHAT HAPPENED? The shit of today cant hold a CANDLE to the good vibe we had then.
Time moves on my friend. I personally loved the seventies but I'm older than you. Each generation remembers fondly the music of their youth. Doesn't make it the best though. We all had a good 'vibe' as you call it in our day.
Hailing from South Yorkshire this hurts a little bit...but...here goes... . Manchester is the centre of the music universe...I love The Fall, Buzzcocks, Stone Roses. Magazine, Inspirals etc etc etc … Manchester is and always has been where it's at... end of debate
Sheffield has produced some right talent too, Pulp, longpigs, reverend and the makers, arctic monkeys, human league, babybird, and there’s so much up and coming talent in Sheffield , check out, Landmark, the Sherlocks, the rosadocs, the Reytons
This is literally my theme tune to 2022. This year makes no sense to me. I lived for 50 years before this nonsense and I have no idea what happened. Thank you so much for making this song. My world means nothing at all at times, but this song just keeps me going. Mr Hingley, you're a f*cking legend, my darling. Please come to Leicester some time? I really would like the opportunity to fan girl on you proper xXx
Wow, it seems that I'm not the only one here... It was the first song of the first concert I went to, a long long time ago when I was 16 or 17. Now I'm 42 and still listening to it...
Words cannot describe what is song meant to me and how much consolation it brought to me as a young man and how great it was back in those days. I need a new inSpiral Carpets but there are none . if I didn't have God now I would probably die of depression.
For those that haven't driven across the M62........ love this tune and band, but I've been from Leeds to M'chester in Feb when it's been bitter and bleak, but then I am Scottish :D
I suffer from cerebral atrophy and my memory can be bad at times but this song reminds me of bucket hats,flares and misadventure,happy days,bring it back.
Always got me this song, the lyrics, the drumming and the melancholy of the bass...and the video itself...still own the 12" record, what can I say an absolutely amazing song
I don't comment often but this has gutted me. We're the same age, and I saw these guys many many times in the day. He was just 17 when they made this~ what a talent. Missed.
Jokes aside, one of the best songs I came across in my childhood - good to see Tom Hingley still out there performing. I don't believe the now generation realize and appreciate just how talented and popular Inspiral Carpets were.
One of Manchester's best. They played the Limelight in New York City some 25 years ago, early 90s, the lads were preoccupied staring at the female dancer in the cage hanging over the crowd. After their performance they were hanging out in the crowd. I shook all their hands. I remember Martyn Walsh had the softest skin! In restrospect, I wonder if he had alopecia? Nonetheless, very friendly, we hung out for a while and I asked them about their experience in the states. Great guys, great music. Bought all their CDs, still have them in my collection!!
RIP Craig Gill, inspiral carpets the first band I ever seen live in 91 when I was 14 remember meeting the band signing records and t shirts top bloke's, fond memories RIP Craig
you said it my friend manchester is where bands are born from grass roots THE STONE ROSES ,OASIS, HAPPY MONDAYS just too name a few you should check them out too
So sad to hear of Gilly passing away. 44, too young, so sad. Heart and prayers go out to his family friends and everyone who was touched by him and his music.
@@capitalb5889 plenty of US songs are sad. I just never understood why some songs catch on here and others don't. Lots of great music came out of Europe.

The Smiths, Joy Division as well
I’m from Sheffield and we are great yes we are, but Mancunio is where it’s at. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is literally my theme tune to 2022. This year makes no sense to me. I lived for 50 years before this nonsense and I have no idea what happened. Thank you so much for making this song. My world means nothing at all at times, but this song just keeps me going. Mr Hingley, you're a f*cking legend, my darling. Please come to Leicester some time? I really would like the opportunity to fan girl on you proper xXx
What a comment fantastic x
1990 - 33yrs ago and it seems more relevant than ever ❤
A gem of a song, legendary. And it inspirals me.
I am still listening, what a song
When you're into music some songs stick in you head and stay there forever.....this is one of them songs.
👍
Shot in the Peak District area outside of Manchester notorious in the 70s and 80s of stories of kids going missing. makes this song even better
this is a banger great song 👍
This song takes me back to when it was in the charts and back in school as a 15 year old boy, I am 41 now
+Wass TL Same here. :)
It was great
41 too:)
Wow, it seems that I'm not the only one here...
It was the first song of the first concert I went to, a long long time ago when I was 16 or 17.
Now I'm 42 and still listening to it...
jason long me too used to play it on my walkmon lol in my champion shorts lol
They really nailed the vocals, gut wrenching stuff.
The Manchester music 🎶 🎵 wad incredible in the 1990,s . These guys were very good,the charlatans, the stone roses, the list is endless 👌 😍
This is optimises the whole Manchester Era of the 90's. Unknown, Underrated and bloody brilliant
Words cannot describe what is song meant to me and how much consolation it brought to me as a young man and how great it was back in those days. I need a new inSpiral Carpets but there are none . if I didn't have God now I would probably die of depression.
For those that haven't driven across the M62........ love this tune and band, but I've been from Leeds to M'chester in Feb when it's been bitter and bleak, but then I am Scottish :D
Knowing that Noel Gallagher was a roadie for the band along with Mark Coyle, is amazing
this is how it feels to be lonely..
this is how it feels to be small..
this is how it feels when your word means nothing at all...
GREAT SONG!!
Sounds like world not word.
@@therespectedlex9794 I always thought "world" - But listen & it is "word"...
Haha, I was today years old when I found out it was ‘word’ not ‘world’.
I always thought it was “worth”. Take care guys.
I thought it was work.
I always go to this when my depression really hurts and pulls my insides out
Stay strong, hope you're doing ok
Much love to you Danny ..it’s ok not to be ok 💙
Head up music helps 💪
Stay strong been there not nice still suffer from time to time
DON'T Danny. Go somewhere better. Come back to this and think 'I beat it'. Stay strong mate. It only hurts a short while. Trust me. Love to you.
RIP Craig. You inspired a 14 year old me and helped shape my drumming x
Such an excellent song, both lyrically and musically. Very good
Wow . what a song . still incredible after 32 years
When a song makes you shiver and gives you goosebumps, you know it meant something back then and brings back so many memories now.
32 years ago and the lyrics still hit hard in 2023
Shows mental health affectts every walk of life,i was in yr 10 of school and didn't understand the lyrics until until past 20years
I suffer from cerebral atrophy and my memory can be bad at times but this song reminds me of bucket hats,flares and misadventure,happy days,bring it back.
Always got me this song, the lyrics, the drumming and the melancholy of the bass...and the video itself...still own the 12" record, what can I say an absolutely amazing song
Iconic song from 1990 ,superb !! Memories flooding back !
I don't comment often but this has gutted me. We're the same age, and I saw these guys many many times in the day. He was just 17 when they made this~ what a talent. Missed.
17?! That's how old I am... Maybe I should go out there and do something too.
This sounds like another era and place echoing down the years. Something really different and special about it.
underrated band imo. so good
Jokes aside, one of the best songs I came across in my childhood - good to see Tom Hingley still out there performing. I don't believe the now generation realize and appreciate just how talented and popular Inspiral Carpets were.
+LIVERNIL723 You do know this is a cover version, Right?
+Miyuki Shijisha I am now 42, you are talking shite.
+DevineChalk Fuck me, you would have seen the Beetles. Don't talk shite.
+DevineChalk You replied to yourself.
cover version my ugly arse
Arguably one of the best bands in the 90's. They could of made it really big if they carried on, through the power of their songs.
This song is too perfect to put into words, anyone who disliked has no taste in music
One of Manchester's best. They played the Limelight in New York City some 25 years ago, early 90s, the lads were preoccupied staring at the female dancer in the cage hanging over the crowd. After their performance they were hanging out in the crowd. I shook all their hands. I remember Martyn Walsh had the softest skin! In restrospect, I wonder if he had alopecia? Nonetheless, very friendly, we hung out for a while and I asked them about their experience in the states. Great guys, great music. Bought all their CDs, still have them in my collection!!
I was there...I have pictures of the crowd...perhaps you're in one of them!
I saw the Shamen in the Limelight in the early 90s...mad!
RIP Craig Gill, inspiral carpets the first band I ever seen live in 91 when I was 14 remember meeting the band signing records and t shirts top bloke's, fond memories RIP Craig
Neil Leary So sad that he topped himself
Can't fault you so was I good days xx
This is a great song. Good era for Manchester bands.
I am Puerto rican and I want to be from Manchester!!! this song is plain and simple a underated gem...
you said it my friend manchester is where bands are born from grass roots THE STONE ROSES ,OASIS, HAPPY MONDAYS just too name a few you should check them out too
yip em too i love the smiths
Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, Oasis, Happy Mondays, James, Buzzcocks, Stone Roses. Inspiral Carpets. Not much like now, Courteeners are decent.
Dfd Dfd Music Capital of England.
Dfd Dfd Manchester has more great music than anywhere in England, easily.
The mind is a time machine. I love the place this song takes me.
One of my favourite songs and bands I've seen them play many times and I loved them to bits.
This song is very apt for the way I've felt for a couple of years or so now.
Yeh I know that feeling
Me too from I got a bad bowel disease 😢
Definitely one of most underrated Manchester bands, at least in mainstream terms
I'm going to see them live in 2 weeks time for first time ever and I'm honestly that excited I could sh*t a brick😁
This song is still f*****g great! Holds up amazingly well.
So sad to hear of Gilly passing away. 44, too young, so sad. Heart and prayers go out to his family friends and everyone who was touched by him and his music.
A classic in my humble opinion
So I guess this song never caught on in the USA. That's sad because it's a great song and I'm just discovering it more than 20 years later.
I guess US songs are more positive
@@capitalb5889 plenty of US songs are sad. I just never understood why some songs catch on here and others don't. Lots of great music came out of Europe.
