not easily. pretty much every song on this album could have been a hit that carried its own release. i mean, i love this song. but i dont know if its possible to rank the tracks on this album its so faking good
Annie Holland is a Master bassist. I always listened to this masterpiece bass-line repeating her part 10 times before leave playing. Justine Frischmann & Donna Mattews made the most brilliant pair of guitar players of 1990's as well Donita Sparks & Suzi Gardner.
A very special band ( i dont think they knew how good they were)! I was about 23, at the time, I'm 47 now! I was so excited about this band, I bought the album on the day of release! I've never done that to any other band before or since. Saw them in bham institute in 95; so good me and mates went to 3 other gigs around the country. Now I'm middle aged grey and little weighty but your still loved here!!!
Damn I'm yer age and I always loved this - although I've always been hardcore playing in bands. I've mellowed out a bit - playing surf music now but I'm with you on elastica!!!
must be having a mid-life crisis. being searching for lost bands from the 90s and Elastica came up. Had to crank up the stereo. Forgot how in love i was with Justine. They still sound great to me.
They were the biggest and best band in the world at that time. They should never have made anymore music than their first album. It was perfect and came out at a perfect time. It's my favorite album of all and Im so happy I got to see them live with it in a tiny club in Christiania Copenhagen ^^
Elastica as a band made a long lasting impact on the Brit Pop scene and rock n roll will always be greatly indebted for that short spanned career of theirs
Emotionally fucked-up young people, bullied by life, have such a carapace around their heart, as a protection, that they lose all emotions. Only rock'n roll bring them back, fleetingly. And you did that Justine with your music. That's already worth a life
The guitar interplay between Justine Frischmann and Donna Mattews on this is just fantastic, not to mention the tone. Britain has a long and fine tradition of basic guitar driven rock and this fits it perfectly.
Sterling Blake - that's Annie Holland. She left the band three years after they were formed because she was tired of all the touring. She rejoined again in 1999 until the band finally split a couple of years later. The song 'Annie' from Elastica's first album is about her: th-cam.com/video/L5FDA8sp2bU/w-d-xo.html
You said ALL, pal. Justine Frischmann & Donna Mattews made the most brilliant pair of guitar players of 1990's as well Donita Sparks & Suzi Gardner. Annie Holland is a Master bassist. I always listened to this masterpiece bass-line repeating her part 10 times before leave playing. In a SANE world, Elastica would release this masterpiece "Never Here" as a single / video named "Devotion" alongside "S.O.F.T." and "Waking Up" - then they would become the World's Greatest Band in second half of 1990's. I rate Justine Frischmann Top 10 Female Rockers Singers with her smooth voice souding as a younger furious Chrissie Hynde.

never thought of Elastica as a girl band, they were just a great sounding band. Never got to see them live though, i don't know what happened there, worked too much in the 90's because i partied too much in the 80's with The Cure.
It's a sign of devotion You made everybody else seem insane You filled my head with your notions You made everybody else seem so tame In your bed I lay reeling You made everybody else seem a shame I knew from the way I was feeling Nothing could ever be quite the same I moved straight into your shoes I took up your cause and answered your phone I couldn't really imagine What life was like when I was alone Then I started to worry (then I started to worry) I thought of our lives left on the shelf Too much TV and curry Too much time spent on ourselves We were sitting in, waiting And I told you my plan You were far too busy writing Rhymes that didn't scan And you leant me your records And I leant you an ear Funny how it seems to me now That you were never here Never really here In our bed I lay reeling You made everybody else seem a shame I knew from the way I was feeling Nothing could ever be quite the same It's a sign of devotion You made everybody else seem so plain Then it felt like going through the motions First impressions never remain We were sitting in, waiting And you told me your plan I was far too busy writing Rhymes that'll never scan Now I've sold all your records Cause they give me the fear Funny how it seems to me now That you were never here Never really here Never really here
I've had this album since it's first release but only listening to this song on its own have I now marvelled at the structure and superb make up of this song. Gorgeous.
I'm almost certain this song is about Brett Anderson. It's always amusing to me that Elastica's first album had song both partially written by and about both Brett and Damon.
Yk I sure can say that elastica where one of those bands from the 90s that never got thier fame and recognition for this album was really good and has quite amount of enjoyable tracks that i can see myself playing on your way to work and even years after theyre gone which that is how you make timeless but really underrated tunes! 🎶🎵😌🎧🖤
This song is my second favorite (S.O.F.T. is my favorite), on this album. This is one of my favorite albums of all times, Elastica 1995. When I can listen to an album all the way through, without skipping to another song, it means, it's a favorite of mine.
This song's instrumental was used in 1996 by BBC's F1 coverage. It was on a montage video for Damon Hill's world championship win. It stuck in my 12 year old mind, providing earworm when I least expected it through my life. It's taken 26 years. I've finally found it.
Fantastica. My favourite Elastica song, just ahead of Stutter. Justine was just the coolest and hottest chick going around. It all ended way too soon for them.
This is my second favorite song from Elastica, my first is, "S.O.F.T." I bought their album Elastica when I was in England in the 90's. I love this band, if there was a girl band (sometimes a guy or two in the band) that I love the most, it would be Elastica, I love their sound.
They got a hard time in the UK for being too derivative of other bands. I didn't give a f**k their first album was brilliant. This and Stutter were my favs on it. Thanks for uploading EJustineF.
I forgot how much I loved this band and I'm ashamed for it. I promise no self multilation. Just a trip to the record store and a binge listening in my car for as long as needed
Anyone knows what kind of guitar and equipment Donna Matthews might be using here? That guitar sound gets me every time I listen to this song and I'd love to know how they made it.
Easily their best song. Never got the recognition it deserved.
Best song on the album by a mile. I always wondered if Damon had a role in this one...
One of the best rock and roll songs of all times, no less
not easily. pretty much every song on this album could have been a hit that carried its own release. i mean, i love this song. but i dont know if its possible to rank the tracks on this album its so faking good
@@andyhall7032 by a mile?>!?!? the others arent great? naw disagreed
@@paulpeczon9086 its awesome, but you need to listen to more music

Nina Gordon and Louise Post are an awesome duo as well! :)
Their Debut Album is a classic. It's sad that they split so early.

I've mellowed out a bit - playing surf music now but I'm with you on elastica!!!
Love this track. One of the best glimpses back in time at a brilliant and unique band.
like most elastic songs, the bassline is amazing. Annie knew how to play.
Oh my God I remember when I bought this in 95 I love the whole CD but this is my favorite song! They went out too quickly such a great band!
must be having a mid-life crisis. being searching for lost bands from the 90s and Elastica came up. Had to crank up the stereo. Forgot how in love i was with Justine. They still sound great to me.
Try Flying Saucer Attack while you're delving in the '90s nethers....
What are your best catch on that expedition ?
This band should have been even bigger than they were. Just great catchy music ..
That's what I've always thought, too. I hear the songs in commercials now and then.
I agree,I'm from Toronto that watched the wedge on much music,back then the brits had some catchy shiut that was kinda raw!
No kidding. They seem to have it all; good catchy music, hot lead singer, more then one good song. ????
Maybe because they were female and Britpop was all boys? I don't know.
They were the biggest and best band in the world at that time. They should never have made anymore music than their first album. It was perfect and came out at a perfect time. It's my favorite album of all and Im so happy I got to see them live with it in a tiny club in Christiania Copenhagen ^^
I love this band so much. Great to see others remember or are discovering them.
This track is a banger, especially when it really kicks off in the middle 8!!!
Best song on the album, and the album is brilliant!
Elastica are one of the few bands from the "Britpop" era that last the test of time. Their tunes still sound fresh.
Yea I very much agree
Agreed ❤
Liked lots of Elastica tracks, but this was always my favourite.
Amazed this wasn't a single. It's the best one of theirs I ever heard, much better than "Connection".
Elastica as a band made a long lasting impact on the Brit Pop scene and rock n roll will always be greatly indebted for that short spanned career of theirs

I can forgive the bits for Benny hill only because they gave us bowie the tall thin lord of cool
Who is the bass guitar, I love her tone

The sound, the voice you got a band.
One of those uniquely talented yet grossly underrated bands. Truly amazing musicality. Thanks for posting.

It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem insane
You filled my head with your notions
You made everybody else seem so tame
In your bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
I moved straight into your shoes
I took up your cause and answered your phone
I couldn't really imagine
What life was like when I was alone
Then I started to worry (then I started to worry)
I thought of our lives left on the shelf
Too much TV and curry
Too much time spent on ourselves
We were sitting in, waiting
And I told you my plan
You were far too busy writing
Rhymes that didn't scan
And you leant me your records
And I leant you an ear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
Never really here
In our bed I lay reeling
You made everybody else seem a shame
I knew from the way I was feeling
Nothing could ever be quite the same
It's a sign of devotion
You made everybody else seem so plain
Then it felt like going through the motions
First impressions never remain
We were sitting in, waiting
And you told me your plan
I was far too busy writing
Rhymes that'll never scan
Now I've sold all your records
Cause they give me the fear
Funny how it seems to me now
That you were never here
Never really here
Never really here
I've had this album since it's first release but only listening to this song on its own have I now marvelled at the structure and superb make up of this song. Gorgeous.
Super band, charismatic Singer and intense and immense rock. Miss them so much..Wow
Brilliant song, brilliant artists.. come back to this time and time again
I'm almost certain this song is about Brett Anderson. It's always amusing to me that Elastica's first album had song both partially written by and about both Brett and Damon.
The more you here the more you get addicted.. I have heard this song thirty times in a space of 15 days....
same!
Where the heck have I been???? I`m a 65 year old punk, and I`ve never heard of this band! I`ve really been missing out!
Damn, music is the best drug, it don't get better than that.
My queen since a teen 💖
That first Elastica album had some great tunes, and this was one of them! Still sounds fresh and innovative.
Favourite Elastica song. Strength exhibition
Saw them at their height in Portland, Or. Still in my top shows I've been to.
This album is one of the very few i carry on since 1995...from walkman to discman to mp3 player to phone...
Yk I sure can say that elastica where one of those bands from the 90s that never got thier fame and recognition for this album was really good and has quite amount of enjoyable tracks that i can see myself playing on your way to work and even years after theyre gone which that is how you make timeless but really underrated tunes! 🎶🎵😌🎧🖤
I love Elastica - first heard it in Prague on vacation in 95' and bought that black CD wtih Connection
I love this whole album, one of my all time favorites!
one of my all time favorite songs as well as absolute favorite bands ...
This is perfect rock n roll production in every way possible.
Elastica is the coolest.
I really really really like this band a lot!
I adore their songwriting...from the days before TV talent contests...the world needs you guys back ...brilliant tribute xx

It's taken 26 years. I've finally found it.
Donna on bass absolutely makes this.
Donna Matthews is on lead guitar. Annie Holland is on bass. But "yes", she's an incredible bassist on all of their songs.
There is no better music to relieve the stress of a tough week!
Fantastica. My favourite Elastica song, just ahead of Stutter. Justine was just the coolest and hottest chick going around. It all ended way too soon for them.
Such a brilliant tune . Guitars are awesome and Justine has the sexiest voice ❤️❤️❤️
What a tune, what an album, still listen to it now, I brought the follow up album sorry shocking
This is my second favorite song from Elastica, my first is, "S.O.F.T." I bought their album Elastica when I was in England in the 90's. I love this band, if there was a girl band (sometimes a guy or two in the band) that I love the most, it would be Elastica, I love their sound.
Have to put The Go-Gos in the mix there.
Veruca Salt are amazing too.
What an awesome number!
Never here is amazing, it was the first elastica song I learnt on the bass
They got a hard time in the UK for being too derivative of other bands. I didn't give a f**k their first album was brilliant. This and Stutter were my favs on it. Thanks for uploading EJustineF.
That prolly was one of the reasons why they instead moved over to america
Elastica should get back as a group again....So many groups today that lack melody with a kick of energy and the color and sex appeal...
Max DuBois it is to late. Justine turns 50 next year.....damned...
Very underrated. Elastica lives on 🤘🏼
underrated by whom?
Catchy drum track, which lead guitarist Donna Mathews appears to jump with in one
of these live clips, a pleasure to view. Thank you.
just love the way the guitars work 2gthr in this song . simple yet sublime :-)
Love it😊
Justin…. How does it feel to have been so amazing, so adored, so on top.
Favorite song when I moved to NY. you're THE BEST. Thank you
A band that I truly loved. The first tape I owned.
Excellent song, very insightful, very sad too, but an excellent song.
Lost track of the times I played this album and still do!
Great lyrics. 😊
I just wish there was bands out there still. I love your music! The GORGON!
what a great sound
I forgot how much I loved this band and I'm ashamed for it. I promise no self multilation. Just a trip to the record store and a binge listening in my car for as long as needed
Обожаю эту песню, Justine просто великолепна! Очень жаль, что так не долго они просуществовали. Хотя, всему свое время)
Still love this song in 2024 .i used to listen to their cd all the time in my car.❤
A good band and this one is definitely my favourite track of theirs.
Damn - such a shame they self-destructed!
The first album is a masterpiece and this track was the best!
Their second album is vastly underrated. It's actually really good.
@@Wout.vlmnck underrated by who/?/
@@clintdavies491 Music critics, Elastica fans, everyone who loves rock/pop music but doesn't invest in listening to this album more than once.
@@Wout.vlmnck so you surveyed did you. look left n right n get brushing those chips off fella
@@clintdavies491 Surveying? Just looking at the reviews and comments on TH-cam gives a clear image.
So brilliant ❤❤❤
Good band! But i realized... they always had really good videos!
very cool very stylistic, she knows youre listening to the song but you can tell she doesnt care if youre listening to it or not
Anyone knows what kind of guitar and equipment Donna Matthews might be using here? That guitar sound gets me every time I listen to this song and I'd love to know how they made it.
love this! You all look fierce too!
Marvelous job. The video was cool mixing the old with the new.
My favorite song. Thanks Justine!
Brilliant 💛
Great!
Timeless music like this always lives on ✨✨❤️🤘🏼
While I love all of Elastica's songs. This was my favorite!
The BEST Elastica song.
absolutegarbage
Yes.
possibly the best song of that era
and that's saying something ...
Love this song and love Elastica!
great lyrics!!!! I love them!!!
Got to see them,this album, after the rush in colo.love this band.👌✌️🇺🇸
Such a mint tune. Love it long time .x
yes... I think it is my favourite elastica song too x
Excellent video editing! Too bad Elastica never had an official video of this great song. Thank you.
Amazing tune. Loooove it.
My favourite part is from 0:00 to 4:46
Annie Holland has such pretty eyes :-)
Each one of their songs is better than the one before
Carino, si'. Montaggio usuale e ben fatto, dopotutto. Grazie, thank you.
Thanks again Justine. Songs like connection,waking up,stutter have helped and will help get me through this. !X
