I remember hearing this song a lot on the radio when it was first released. It continued being popular throughout the year of 2006/2007. It is nostalgic for me now. It reminds me of being a carefree teenager of 15, going to a snooker bar with my friends, drinking Pepsi, and eating chips. Worrying about the future, school, and trying to connect with girls and diminish my social awkwardness. Good times. A British youth faded in time.
This song came out when i was a little kid. I didn't understand the sentiment of the song back then but now as a 26 year old the lyrics hit really hard.
@@billyhowell6484what american- cherokee, navajo, choctaw, blackfeet, sioux, apache, that type of american? Sorry, you are not an american, you are invasive spicy.
Are you kidding? From 2004-2007 they were one of the biggest bands in the country, 5 top 10 singles, 1st album 4x platinum, 2nd album 5x platinum. They got loads of attention.
It was early 2008, I was passed out on my friend's step-dad's floor after getting pissed for the first time. I had a hangover the size of America itself and would have remained firmly in the foetal position for the whole day had it not been for my friend's polyphonic version of this song playing for what seemed like the 28th time separated by ten minute intervals after he'd set it as his alarm. My eardrums and brain as a whole have a permanent imprint of this song and I can't hear that riff without smiling. Nee-nee-nee-neeneenee
This was a time. Lily Allen, Duffy, The Streets, Amy Whinehouse, Corin Bailey Ray, The Kooks, Razorlight, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Hoosiers, Kasabian, the list goes on pretty much all bringing our their debuts in the same year some of them living round the corner or just seeing them around London all the time actual artists on MTV singing in British accents such creative moving music it was so new and different like our generations Brit Pop- we were spoilt. I miss it. And we all thought the Killers we’re British hahaha the good old days.
Same i guess. It is definitly the geniration i was ment to be in. Todays "music" is basicly white noise, a constapation groan, and "musicians" forcing what they think is right or wrong and basicly their opinions down out throughts.
When I first heard wire to wire I was just another 17 year old boy having no access to the internet nor had any money. Now I am grown 27 and I always had the song stuck on my mind. It was not the only song I was determined I would listen to once I grew up and had money of my own. It's a different kind of life out here for me at least. Nobody would know. These are just pure gold. The bands and music from 2000s. It's like these bands were giving out their last big first shot.
This song is just pure nostalgia of long drives in the British countryside at night coming home to our small humble home looking out the window and having day dreams about America
Damn, i remember listening to this from my iPod as a little kid. Just starting elementary, parents were still together, my sister who is now a grown-ass teenager was just a newborn baby. Life was so simple.
I almost feel shame that I didn't give this band the full attention it rightly deserved at the time. They released some genuinely good songs that hold up still.
I remember so much good music coming out at this time. To me, this was a golden age. We are starting to see a return with new artists but my god things were coming out left right and center here. Bands that actually wrote and played their own music. And what music!
My first job as traniee roofer scotland aberdeen used listen this sleeping in back of van hunover 20 years ago was 19 god how the world has changed 😢❤❤❤love ✌ to u all x
POV - It's 2007. I'm 10 years old and just finished watching a re-run of "My Parents Are Aliens" on CITV. I've signed Carlos Vela on my FIFA 07 career mode save on PS2, because I read on a forum that he becomes really good after a couple of seasons. This song is blasting on the kitchen radio.
This makes me feel so old reminded of the days i was 6 i used to play razorlight on repeat; now 24 I got my own flat and still appreciate the music me mother brought me up on!❤
Randomly remembered this today, such a great song. To anyone who comments about bands being underrated, it's the job of the music press to keep the good bands in mind and for new bands to namecheck and introduce their influences to their own fans. That’s how a healthy appreciation of music grows, and of course the amazing playlists that people put together on this app. Why not do the same if you want to pass on your recommendations rather than just lamenting that a song isn't more well known.
This is my favorite song, and it probably has been since I first heard it playing in the TV. Whenever I feel down, this is the song I listen to. Whenever I am filled with joy, this is the song I listen to. It has so much meaning to me, and it is impossible for me to explain why! I love this song, on so many levels.
This came on the radio a lot when I was about 10 years old, I loved it but I never knew the name of the song or band. My english wasn't really good back then so I didn't know what they were singing about, I kinda forgot the song when the years past but now, 8 years later, this song is playing on TV and I finally know the name and artist, still love it as much as I did back then.
no, because the music that people like is pop music where people just try to look good in front of camera but they can't sing or write the music, just watch a video of your favorite pop star live and see if they are miming
I was there too it was crazy when Ricky Wilson was climbing up the scaffolding I also got some sort of substance thrown at me I would like to think it’s beer but who would throw a £10 pint
This song gives me bitter waves of nostalgia. I remember my mum used to take me to this big indoor play centre with ball pits and slides and I remember this was playing on one of my visits there - it had just come out. I remember hearing it on the radio in the car a lot of times after that and it makes me remember the shopping trips we used to have together. But now that's all gone and I am booking an MRI scan and am terrified that my whole life is going to be torn apart due to my health deteriorating. If ever there was a song that makes me cry it is this one. It holds so much value for me. Ahhhh man... why isn't time travel possible? I'm 19 and already want to go back in time to my childhood; this isn't a good start :(
Wow. Such a nostalgia. This song, many years ago, really helped me to get through the darkest times when i no longer saw any meaning im my life. Thank you guys for it 🙏🌈✌
I was on the plane home from Malaysia and I was feeling tired, but looking forward to seeing my friends at school and I was browsing through music on the plane and came across this song. It reminded me of 2006 and I felt so nostalgic.
It truley is a funny old world. Ive never really listened to oasis even tho im from Scotland. Not but two minutes ago this song came on. Sometimes you cant put all of what you feel in one song this tho. Today right now is how i feel. I left Scotland for a better life and it is just that, im married ive a buisness in a place called Port Townsend in Washington state. The paper mill is in full production, the wind is blowing so the town smells like sulphur/brocolie farts. Its chilly outside and over cast, the streets are empty. Not a soul walking on the pavement. I think about the people i left behind in my pursuit, the birthdays, deaths and marriages ive missed. But honoured and raised a glass to from the other side. On days like these when i have time to think. I almost always ask was it worth it. People are mostly good but they lack the open heart, the compassion, the depth of not only conversation but communication. Today i miss my home land, i miss my people, i miss the stranges in the street, i miss the familular dialects, i miss the pub culture, i miss having a cuppa with those who know, i miss the food but more than anything i miss the reasuring words, hugs and handshakes of those closest. Itll all be okay after a cuppa, some toast and a couple of worthy dunking biscuits.
god i don't know where i know this song but i am thankful ! these notes from the beginning who continues after in the song... this is pure magic in my ears !!
This song is wonderful, maybe people will appreciate it more soon. I've known and grown with this song, I used to be on sing star with this song on the PlayStation 😂 It's just wonderful

Same here man 👌
You’ve encapsulated the very feeling ❤born 1998 and still feel this so hard
Stop making us all sad!
My dad used to play this in the car all the time when I was younger. I'm glad I''ve finally found it
I am so happy to say, this is now me as well. I've spent the entire day looking for this :)).
What his career no his car stereo
That’s exactly how I found this song too
Exact same memory for me used to always hear this in my dads such a nostalgic song
Hello there
Who's here in 2024 banging tune
yup as our rights and freedoms are being taken away.
For real man
Not heard it in ages
Ohhh ohhhh
Me
bangin tuneee
Nothing on the tv nothing on the radio I can believe in
Never heard a song of which the lyrics remained this relevant.
This song will ALWAYS be relevant.
Unless the US splits like Rome
I
Only until the US isnt..
Are you sure about that?
@@notserp1836 yup.
Too true my friend …peace and love to you 🇺🇸
I was surprised to read the wikipedia page for this song and learn that it recieved negative reviews, it's so good!
This song came out when i was a little kid. I didn't understand the sentiment of the song back then but now as a 26 year old the lyrics hit really hard.
song of the day
As an American, we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't.
And it's still an exquisite and true song.
The demonic entities in America are not happy right now.
A baptism in the waters of Trump is what's needed.
As an American…yeah.

2024 check in for this timeless ballad
Just a brilliant song, love Johhny's voice . Great band
After the 2024 US election this song gives me comfort
Razorlight,a great band who never really got the attention they deserved!
I totally agree with you, they are so underrated! I remember hearing this song when it came it, I so loved it :-)
Are you kidding? From 2004-2007 they were one of the biggest bands in the country, 5 top 10 singles, 1st album 4x platinum, 2nd album 5x platinum. They got loads of attention.
yeah but only in England
+moe17moe Yes here in italy nobody know them... i discovered it in london 10 years ago... after that i feel this Song part of me
the band became famous quick and faded away quick... a UK No 1 single only got 6 million views!
Thought this song would have way more than 13mil views, amazing song
No 2023 🎉
14m now.. you did some work
half of those views are me
On the other hand, it has over 100 million Spotify streams.
The song I will always associate with my Step Mum who sadly passed away just before Christmas ❤❤❤

It was a shit time. Literally every band you listed were poor and the music scene at that time was dire.
Same i guess. It is definitly the geniration i was ment to be in. Todays "music" is basicly white noise, a constapation groan, and "musicians" forcing what they think is right or wrong and basicly their opinions down out throughts.
The Hoosiers?! LOL.

Possibly one of the greatest songs in history.

2023. The world is not better off. Take me back to these days.
This song reminds me of the best times I've had in my life! Good old iPod Nano 2nd gen times 😅
I'm grateful that Shazam exists because i forgot the title of this song, and now i finally found it
Ahhh, childhood nostalgia...
facts bro gonna have to stick scouting for girls on next hahah
@@amalakin4444 after them put some of the feeling on
This song just needs to play in the right movie and it will be eternal..
The next terminator or zombieland movie
Yea either opening scene or endin
I almost feel shame that I didn't give this band the full attention it rightly deserved at the time. They released some genuinely good songs that hold up still.
This song is simply fantastic. I defy anyone who dosent like this. 16 Years on and it's still in my top 5.
I was 18 years younger when this song came out. Boy, what a great time back then. Now I am 36. Man, what a shitty time in wich we're living today! 😑
I was 21
These were defo better days.
With you there dude, saw them at the Double Door in Chicago back in 05 or 06, was awesome, great times back then
Me too
@@hichamelbakali1993 they ended the tour after that gig I think too, ended it early
Best song of all time

And I'm back 10years later lol. Jeez . These guys need to play live again.

This song is blasting on the kitchen radio.
This song will get more recognition once it's used in some cool movie or show
I think it’s pretty recognised
@@9876bbb just watch the news
I can still remember joining the same stage with them.. Time flies by….But am honoured to have played on the same festival!!
Still as brilliant as the first time I heard it !!, outstanding 😂
2006 was such a great year in music.
I know like the Black Parade came out as well like fuckkk
+Casey Divall The Black Parade is a good fucking album. House Of Wolves is fave.
+Zak Storey I love Cancer and Famous Last Words😏 didn't the American Idiot album come out as well?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssss

With whats going on , this song comes to mind and here I am. Sort yourself out America, we know you can do it.
the bill has to be paid one way or the other...:))
this was one of the first songs I listened to when i was like 4 or 3 years old
I was 16 at the time:) kid you got good taste xp
I was 8! what a tune tho. very iconic!
That must have made you love life
god I was 22 when this came out. thanks for making me feel old lol ;)
i was 4 when this came out
God I love this song
This is my favorite song, and it probably has been since I first heard it playing in the TV.

@@eliblake2756 you could say that about hundreds of songs.
@@henryj8363 it’s an opinion, I like this song, I think today it’s underrated.
I didn't know this song until yesterday
I’m going to New York in march of 2023. I know I’m going to be listening to this song religiously during that period lol.
The year this song released (2006) was the same year that I was born, I am now 15, this song is great! What was it like to be a teenager in 2006/2007?
It was amazing! I was 18 years old and had the best time of my life ❤
One of the greatest songs of the 21st century so far!
The lyrics are perfect America is lost, lonely, feels nothing it's corrupt.

+kevinAGACM Exactly the same for me, didn't really understand it at first, but listening to it years later made the song even better!
If you love this your English needs more work Kev.
The beginning of this song really does transport you back in time. Hit to the feels.
@@jezzaus2124 really atmospheric. A sitting or strolling on the beach song like David Gray's Babylon. Great music.
masterpiece
why can't music still be like this were you had a BAND that WROTE their own music and PLAYED their own instruments and the music would sound GOOD
it is
no, because the music that people like is pop music where people just try to look good in front of camera but they can't sing or write the music, just watch a video of your favorite pop star live and see if they are miming
Mate bieber writes his owns songs he's like fucking god
I'm sorry but Justin Bieber is a stupid drug addict who doesn't have the slightest clue about music
I can't believe this was released in 2006. Time has literally flew by.
Yes... I think the same
2006... good times.
Hahah you blinked, now it's 2022.
This should be the National Anthem of America
My favourite band, takes me back to the good old days 😊😊
Just seen these live at trentham gardens ! Absolutely amazing , well done and thank you for the experience
I was there too it was crazy when Ricky Wilson was climbing up the scaffolding I also got some sort of substance thrown at me I would like to think it’s beer but who would throw a £10 pint
I hope Ricky got his belt back from Johnny
It was a fantastic performance, a shame trentham made us walk the long way back to the car park 😂
Used hear this song play on the radio in the office in 2006-7 and reminds me of the time my first child was born.
Welcome back Razorlight....Keep rocking it!!! 😉😉😉
This song gives me bitter waves of nostalgia. I remember my mum used to take me to this big indoor play centre with ball pits and slides and I remember this was playing on one of my visits there - it had just come out. I remember hearing it on the radio in the car a lot of times after that and it makes me remember the shopping trips we used to have together. But now that's all gone and I am booking an MRI scan and am terrified that my whole life is going to be torn apart due to my health deteriorating. If ever there was a song that makes me cry it is this one. It holds so much value for me. Ahhhh man... why isn't time travel possible? I'm 19 and already want to go back in time to my childhood; this isn't a good start :(
Wow. Such a nostalgia. This song, many years ago, really helped me to get through the darkest times when i no longer saw any meaning im my life. Thank you guys for it 🙏🌈✌
Vedyot, Soldat, Vedyot. Its translated Russian. Best of luck to you my friend
Favourite song when I was three years old. 18 now, it’s still my favourite
This song is so true. I have spent my life watching America and there is always trouble and panic in America
Gun culture doesn't help, and the great divide of the haves, and have nots
This song came out when I was actually thinking about moving to America. I never did. The rest, as they say, is history.
2024 still listening, doesn't get old
2021????
Here from being like 18 at time of release xx
Im sorry but how has this video only got 10million views? Literally everyone I play this song to knows this song
This song is older than TH-cam
One of my all time favourite songs I reckon. These guys definitely deserve more appreciation
Oh boy this song was hard to google when all I could remember is Whoa oh oh something something America!
Omg 😂 hilarious
Same
Loool
Some people find Google difficult to use
This is my “moved to London” soundtrack…2007-2009 best times of my life!
One of my all time favourites. Such a cool evening/night tune!
Hello dear
Goosebumps, one of my all time favourite songs I remember the day they released this.
Grazie mille per la condivisione di questa bellissima canzone 🙏✨🎶🎻👍 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️💙🤗
This song is by far one of my favourite of all time😊 got it stuck in my head out of nowhere the other day and can't stop listening to it!
I finally found that nostalgic song that don't know why I know.
All I could remember is a single part of the MELODY.
I can now die peacefully.
This song is STILL rocking it in 2022 - Johnny Borrell has such a brilliant voice. Very appropriate for 2022 for the whole world really!
I was on the plane home from Malaysia and I was feeling tired, but looking forward to seeing my friends at school and I was browsing through music on the plane and came across this song. It reminded me of 2006 and I felt so nostalgic.

With good behaviour you'll be out in 20.
Didn’t they take your phone?
This song will always bring me back it's my time machine
It truley is a funny old world.
Ive never really listened to oasis even tho im from Scotland. Not but two minutes ago this song came on.
Sometimes you cant put all of what you feel in one song this tho. Today right now is how i feel.
I left Scotland for a better life and it is just that, im married ive a buisness in a place called Port Townsend in Washington state.
The paper mill is in full production, the wind is blowing so the town smells like sulphur/brocolie farts.
Its chilly outside and over cast, the streets are empty. Not a soul walking on the pavement.
I think about the people i left behind in my pursuit, the birthdays, deaths and marriages ive missed. But honoured and raised a glass to from the other side.
On days like these when i have time to think. I almost always ask was it worth it.
People are mostly good but they lack the open heart, the compassion, the depth of not only conversation but communication.
Today i miss my home land, i miss my people, i miss the stranges in the street, i miss the familular dialects, i miss the pub culture, i miss having a cuppa with those who know, i miss the food but more than anything i miss the reasuring words, hugs and handshakes of those closest.
Itll all be okay after a cuppa, some toast and a couple of worthy dunking biscuits.
America needing big love and prayers and this song so relevent right now!
god i don't know where i know this song but i am thankful ! these notes from the beginning who continues after in the song... this is pure magic in my ears !!
I loved Razorlight when they came out....brilliant....he was a bit of a Richey Manic fan......xxxxx
The band of my childhood,brings back memories of long summer car drives and genuine good times.
Was 8 when i heard this, reminds me off my Dad, RIP

Desperately underrated band, they should of been so much bigger than what they were.
A crying shame...
I love this album. So many memories...sad and happy.
