Best of Razorlight: goo.gl/zoKwvd Subscribe here: goo.gl/7fXUoW Music video by Razorlight performing America. (C) 2006 Mercury Records Limited #Razorlight #America #Vevo
My nephew passed from cancer in November 2006 aged 9. This song was played as we left the church service. It breaks me every time I listen, I keep comming back.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
I first watched it on the MTV channel during breakfast and lunch at Bellerbys College in Brighton during my high school years in 2007. I later found this video on TH-cam while preparing for my A2 exams and listened to it all the time. Now, hearing the melody again brings back those old feelings.
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.
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 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 :(
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.
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
@@billyhowell6484what american- cherokee, navajo, choctaw, blackfeet, sioux, apache, that type of american? Sorry, you are not an american, you are invasive spicy.
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
Back in 2010 probably I was on a roadtrip with my dad and we were following his mate and we were in a beat up old van and we had no music. When we put over we asked his mate if he had any spare cds he gave us the Razorlight album and iv cherished it ever since
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.
This is a classic, give it 10 years and people will appreciate this song so much more. It's got timeless power, such a shame it's technically a one hit wonder
one hit wonders? what about "Golden touch" "In the morning" They were huge hits and many more. i was around 25 when this was a hit. Saw them open for The Manic Street Preachers and they were great!!!
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!❤

Womp womp
Never heard a song of which the lyrics remained this relevant.
Just a brilliant song, love Johhny's voice . Great band
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
Possibly one of the greatest songs in history.
2023. The world is not better off. Take me back to these days.
I was surprised to read the wikipedia page for this song and learn that it recieved negative reviews, it's so good!
So good xx

Same here man 👌
You’ve encapsulated the very feeling ❤born 1998 and still feel this so hard
Stop making us all sad!
Same memories
Here in 2024. Miss you Dave, thought about you when I woke up and had to put this one on for you, you'll never be forgotten brother 🥀
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 🇺🇸
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
Another one of those forever relevant songs that I plan to listen to on a loop, consistently, over the next 4+ years.
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 :-)

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!
My youngest son 16 years old has just been to their concert in the U.K. ❤️

Such a brilliant, satirical, textured song. A total classic.

One of the greatest songs of the 21st century so far!
The song I will always associate with my Step Mum who sadly passed away just before Christmas ❤❤❤
💓
❤
The lyrics are perfect America is lost, lonely, feels nothing it's corrupt.
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
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.
this came on the radio today 💗 knew every word, had totally forgot about this band, they were so good 🥰
This song is STILL rocking it in 2022 - Johnny Borrell has such a brilliant voice. Very appropriate for 2022 for the whole world really!

Did you play Snakes game on his Nokia 8210 after the Polyphone Ringtone stopped? :D
For me présent IN MY LIFE WITH JESUS AND THE HEART... RAZORLORLIGHT....america
"There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio, that I can believe in...".
Seems like that no a day's
2006 was the best year of my life
I can still remember joining the same stage with them.. Time flies by….But am honoured to have played on the same festival!!
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.

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.
@@DancinJim your music playlist consists of the who, tame impala and greta van fleet, be quiet
falloutgirl902 the automatic and scouting for girls
It really is almost impossible to adequately describe how beautiful this song is.

Ohhh ohhhh

This song is simply fantastic. I defy anyone who dosent like this. 16 Years on and it's still in my top 5.
his voice, his arpeggios, and tone 👌✨
The band of my childhood,brings back memories of long summer car drives and genuine good times.

It has so much meaning to me, and it is impossible for me to explain why!
I love this song, on so many levels.
Stay strong brother …I like replying to 6 year comments lol …peace out xx
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 loved Razorlight when they came out....brilliant....he was a bit of a Richey Manic fan......xxxxx
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 😂
Still listening in 2021!
Desperately underrated band, they should of been so much bigger than what they were.
A crying shame...
Ahhh, childhood nostalgia...
facts bro gonna have to stick scouting for girls on next hahah
@@amalakin4444 after them put some of the feeling on
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.
@@billyhowell6484what american- cherokee, navajo, choctaw, blackfeet, sioux, apache, that type of american? Sorry, you are not an american, you are invasive spicy.
This is my “moved to London” soundtrack…2007-2009 best times of my life!
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.
Don’t worry, you’re not the only legend listening to this in 2022!
This was Number 1 15 years ago today, how time flies
And I'm back 10years later lol. Jeez . These guys need to play live again.
Goosebumps, one of my all time favourite songs I remember the day they released this.
I never ever got why Razorlight and The Killers were so adored.
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
2024 check in for this timeless ballad
Back in 2010 probably I was on a roadtrip with my dad and we were following his mate and we were in a beat up old van and we had no music. When we put over we asked his mate if he had any spare cds he gave us the Razorlight album and iv cherished it ever since
This song reminds me of the best times I've had in my life! Good old iPod Nano 2nd gen times 😅
One of my all time favourite songs I reckon. These guys definitely deserve more appreciation
2021 and there is still nothing on the tv or radio that I can believe in
One of the best British bands
EVER HEARD OF A LITTLE BAND CALLED THE BEATLES YOU MORON
One of my all time favourites. Such a cool evening/night tune!
Hello dear
It's amazing, how you remember a band well, but so easy to lose track of a single they made, great hearing December 2024! 🎉😊❤
I’m sorry but this has to be the most underrated song of all time
It was number 1 in the uk dont think you can call it underrated?
@@henryj8363 I’m from the UK i know, but apparently no one knows about it anymore
@@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
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
kept me sane ... well almost 😆 driving a lot then for work, loved the killer's too😊
2021 - reminiscing about the old times. Mistakes and pleasures.
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 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!
Best song wrote by a drummer ever
My favourite band, takes me back to the good old days 😊😊
Nothing on the tv nothing on the radio I can believe in
From Brazil 🇧🇷 we miss you guys !!!
I love this album. So many memories...sad and happy.
whole album is a winner
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.
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 will always bring me back it's my time machine
July 2024 with love to America 🇺🇸, All the way from Liverpool England 🏴 🇬🇧 UK
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.
Welcome back Razorlight....Keep rocking it!!! 😉😉😉
The memory’s this song gives off is mental
Grazie mille per la condivisione di questa bellissima canzone 🙏✨🎶🎻👍 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️💙🤗

+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.
This is a big tune but golden touch gets me more.
This is a classic, give it 10 years and people will appreciate this song so much more. It's got timeless power, such a shame it's technically a one hit wonder
Damn right!
one hit wonders? what about "Golden touch" "In the morning" They were huge hits and many more. i was around 25 when this was a hit. Saw them open for The Manic Street Preachers and they were great!!!
Kyle Joyce !
I know what you mean..This tune is a classic..
It's been 10 years mate
Was 8 when i heard this, reminds me off my Dad, RIP
Harry Elliott keep on going, your dad will always be with you 😊
Calm doon mate dad would be hitting the heave at that comment ya disgrace
R.i.p

Was für ein toller Song
I get this song, the lyrics, the vibe… what an amazing song ✌🏼
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 should be the National Anthem of America
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!❤
Favourite song when I was three years old. 18 now, it’s still my favourite
Anyone in 2022 ???
I remember being in prison in 2006 banging this in the workshop. Getting me through tough times losing friends and family 👪🏿 💯.
America needing big love and prayers and this song so relevent right now!
This songs absolute class. I moved to America and I missed home a lot but this song got me through. Razorlight.. absolute genius lads!
Razor light are watching you in America
