@@chiefstainI don’t get you Welsh sad people. His voice is good but it doesn’t sound “ Welsh “ and if it did would you make feel better about yourself Also being Welsh? Sad.
To me this song is about a time in my life where I loved someone so much, more than myself. I would have done anything to be with them. I had some of my greatest memories with this person even if we weren't together, and even after the pain this person put me through, I would do it all again. I guess what I'm saying is, this song is about love and trying to move on from that one special person but after looking around, you realise you don't want anyone else, you just want them.

F*CK I didn't know til I read this. Met him on their first tour and he was great fun. No idea what he was saying most of the time but he was a good time.
There should be at least one day in the whole year where people listen only to rock songs like this, no Rihanna, no Pitbull, no Jessie J etc. Just music by rock bands, whether its RHCP or Stereophonis to Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. Thumbs up for this.
Grew up about 20 miles from these lads. I remember the excitement when they first came on the scene and being the same age as them was also a bonus as I have grown up with their music. RIP Stuart Cable!!
I used to go in a pub called the brick house when this album came out and there was a guy who used to put the whole thing on the juke box every friday. I was 15. Loved it.
After YEARS of Looking for this song I finally found it.. I first heard if from the documentary Long Way Round while they were constructing a ramp through very harsh waters to cross. This was many summers ago back when I was in school. What a lovely song.
Beautiful song ❤ I bought this album when I was 15 and listened to it over and over again that night. Always come back this it one of my all time faves x
Andrew Fed: totally agree with you! Think the answer to the lack of recognition is Mr Writer! I am lecturer in English, Psychology & Sociology: use Kelly's lyrics at least once a week. An incredibly gifted man - and that voice! I am in my late 50s and have seen many live performances over the years, of a wide variety of genres, but without doubt the Stereophonics are the best I have seen. I am pining! Haven't seen them since June in Cardiff - roll on next album and tour!
So proud of you my Welsh brothers....putting us on the musical map big-time! Makes me supremely proud to be a full red blooded Welshman❤Wales I love you....always have😏
My late Son Loved this Song he'd play over and over he had a jaguar car which he loved brings a Tear to my eye when I listen to it must be the Welsh in me we are sentimental
There's things I want, There's things I think I want There's things I've had, There's things I wanna have Do I want the dreams? The ones we're forced to see Do I want the perfect wife? But perfect ain't quite right Shopping every day, Take it back the next break They say the more you fly, The more you risk Your life I'm just looking, I'm not buying I'm just looking, It keeps me smiling A house I've seen, Another coulda been You drenched my head And said what I said You said that life is what You make of it Yet most of us just fake I'm just looking I'm not buying I'm just looking It keeps me smiling I'm just looking I'm not buying Well I'm just looking It keeps me trying And I'm just looking I'm not buying Well I'm just looking It keeps me smiling There's things I want, There's things I think I want There's things I've had, There's things I wanna have. They say the more you fly, The more you risk Your whole life I'm just looking, I'm not buying I'm just looking, It keeps me smiling
i come from Wales but moved to Yorkshire about 10 years ago but make the trip back to the homeland roughly 3-4 times a year and the only band i listen to there and back is the Stereophonics makes my journey complete . they were actually the first live band i have ever seen too .............. Sweeeeeeeet love you x
Dom Joly mentioned in an interview' that he had a complete music education whilst searching the length and breadth of itunes for the Trigger happy soundtrack.. .That was one of the main draws of Trigger happy when it was first broadcast on a Friday night, the quality of the music' - and that coupled with Dom's antics, pure brilliance.
Black is the color that has all the colors inside . Keep inside you will find light ! When I was joung did have a bad feelings all the time , now I find my way home just following dreams them come true .Thanks for your music .
+Matt oh forfuxake. why do you talk as if you're some old soldier from ww2? you just aren't looking for good music. i'm a fan of 90s music more than anything but there's been so much great music since... i rem 90s more cos i was younger then and got out more, had a few more laughs than i do now. sentimental claptrap. great music but there's music just as good and better since [depending on personal taste]. but you keep livin in the past, mate. you stay there. edit: you sound just like my mam.
Jade Cornwall love those manics,got turned onto stereophonics in '99 when I was in ye olde London Town,they(like manics)never broke into the US,strange,since they're 1 of the best bands 2 have come out in the last 20 years or so(and it's really hard 2 believe that it's been almost 20 years since they came out,unbelievable)?!?!?! Cheers m🎱!
When I was 14 and this came out...there were things I wanted and things I thought I wanted. Havent quite got to the dreams yet but I am healing, happy and healthy, and I never dreamt I would have that 24 years ago!
I was just talking to my family about a talk I once heard on KPFK, the guy was saying that sometimes it's not about buying things, that sometimes you can just look and maybe pick it up and try it out or try it on, like maybe an expensive watch or something, or a guitar... You don't have to buy it, to experience it. Then you just put it back and go along with your life... You sort of 'have' the thing now , with you , forever... Thats what this song reminds me of.. I'm just looking, I'm not buying, it keeps me smiling... Wonderful song, by a truly great band
Like a lot of bands from this era i'm sorry that i didn't pay more attention to their talent growing up. Thank god we have youtube and the good side of the comments section to lean back on to reflect on things with.
The first memory of guitaring!!!! Back in 1999 my dad handed me my first guitar! and i sat and practiced every day and finally this was one of the first song's i ever mastered! and to this day even right now,though you all cannot see me do it! i am sat playing this song and the memories of my dad giving me my first guitar and me learning this to show him....amazing! sorry it look's like i was having a moment with myself there eh? BTW my first guitar was a 1969 Harmony Rocket
I love Stereophonics and their ability to mix rock and soul so seamlessly
Its so rare to find a months ago comment doe
Still love the old Stereophonics tunes. Reminds me of being a teenager again. Still sounds fresh today in my opinion.
Richard M all day long mate, reminds me of better times 😊
U good this epic always
Richard, absolutely. Great songs usually always sound 'fresh'. Love this one, 1999 was a great year.
I’m 15 and these songs are still the bangers :)
Couldn't have said it better. I remember listening to this when I had my paper round
Such an underrated band. It really makes me think seriously there must be something wrong with peoples ear and soul.
Ankur Kharal I agree plus they are still making great songs more then 20 years later
Ankur Kharal they are live in Inverness and Wales this year. Look them up.
87mrreynolds he’s my cousin but I’ve only seen him once in my life when I was a baby ;( wish he would visit more
JudeAnims シ Visit more ?? You haven’t seen him since you were a baby yet you make it sound as if it was often ?????
@@judeanims4509 Well... Everyone's related in Wales...
Anyone listening to stereophonics, you my dear have an awesome taste in music ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Je le savais déjà mais je te remercie de confirmer, et te retourne le compliment😀
Kelly's voice, just pure class
Couldn't be more welsh could it?....
@@chiefstainI don’t get you Welsh sad people. His voice is good but it doesn’t sound “ Welsh “ and if it did would you make feel better about yourself Also being Welsh? Sad.

The 90s were amazing you had to be there to capture the beauty of the 1990s
90s spoilt for music
Best decade ever from what I can remember lol 🎉
@@MartinSheppard-v5v I spent most of it travelling. Great music great weather great times.
If anything this good got released today, I think my head would literally explode with surprise.
Damien Jurado, calexico, Spoon, Phosphorescent, I’m forgetting a couple. Anyone who appreciates Sterophonics might like em. Oh and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Have a listen to Unit 17 - One in 96
Sam fender
War on drugs
Editors etc and tons more
Be more open minded
It's not always then-good and now-bad...u have to learn to see...thats how I used to think a long while ago aswell
@@curiositypiqued6573 In myyyy day we had a cassette tied to our belts. Which was the style at the time...
Loved the sound, the aesthetic, the lyrics. Those first two albums caught something about British life that I haven't heard since.
This band deserves so much more respect than they get.
Musical legends up there with Oasis and Coldplay
Oasis and Coldplay 🤣🤣
The song writing it far above oasis I.m.o. That may be because they are Welsh
Coldplay 🤣🤣
Hahaha yeah i agree with the oasis shout but coldplay 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They blow coldplay out of the water
This is a brilliant song, lyrics, riff and hugely underrated
I love the way the song seems to build momentum. It’s amazing
Notice...its not promoted because it's too human...too inspiring...
Man, this song gives me major nostalgia...
I'm with u still here 😊
Stuart Cable, gone but not forgotten.....
RIP
I met him at University of Glamorgan student union doing a DJ set back in 2003/4, an absolute gent.
F*CK I didn't know til I read this. Met him on their first tour and he was great fun. No idea what he was saying most of the time but he was a good time.
I miss Stuart and his laugh
Tragic
How can this song have just over 1million views? A modern masterpiece.
Happy 24 Birthday for today. Still feels as fresh as it did back in 1999.
Absolutely
Kelly is the best voice of this brit rock generation 👏
There should be at least one day in the whole year where people listen only to rock songs like this, no Rihanna, no Pitbull, no Jessie J etc. Just music by rock bands, whether its RHCP or Stereophonis to Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. Thumbs up for this.
Rihanna is iconic
Been watching Stereophonics Live in Cardiff all morning, great way to finish off the year.
@@siobhanmcgregor2557 does Rihanna write all her own music?
@@siobhanmcgregor2557 she’s as iconic as cheese.

🏴
Ocean colour scene and stereophonics. Two bands criminally underrated
Stereophonics are the reason why I’m proud to be welsh 🏴
Same here
and so you should be but share them with us scots please haha
@ we will don’t worry
My favourite Stereophonics track, never gets old.
Love this band. And del amitri 🎉
Listening as Kelly recommended it on Facebook 24 years old. Great track
🎸 🎶 🎤
stereophonics are legends every song they have ever done every lyric they have ever wrote is just pure class!
My best band by miles. His voice cant be beaten
Reminds me of my home (Wales) so much, as soon as i hear the first sound of the guitar..miss you Wales
That voice is pure class
It was actually the first track of Stereophonics I've discovered and it's still my favourite 🖤 somehow it has an autumn vibe
Always find myself singing this while strolling I the shopping malls, favourite tracks of stereophonics very underrated song 👌🏻👏
Hahahaha me too
IMM JUST LOOKINGGG
Very true
my second favourite vocalist after Morrissey, he has a voice that gives me goosebumps this welsh lad
I'll never get tired of listening to this bloke sing
I used to go in a pub called the brick house when this album came out and there was a guy who used to put the whole thing on the juke box every friday. I was 15. Loved it.
I first saw this when I was a kid, I loved it and nowadays nothings changed
These boys and the Manics, long live Wales
Best country on earth
We have great music. Gorkis, super furries. I'm in china but I miss my country. Hiraeth
Yes dont forget the super furry animals.best group wales have produced in my non welsh opinion.
Great songs for reminiscing about the past 😢❤xxx
Back when they were great. Saw them in Glasgow in 2001 and they were the bollox. Stuart was just amazing. Poor sod.
The story of my life.. Stereophonics sure have a badass way at tugging at your heart strings.. ❤️
Ugh the voice the face the late 90s/early 2000s... I miss it all
Thank God for TH-cam. ♥️
After YEARS of Looking for this song I finally found it..
I first heard if from the documentary Long Way Round while they were constructing a ramp through very harsh waters to cross. This was many summers ago back when I was in school. What a lovely song.
Beautiful song ❤ I bought this album when I was 15 and listened to it over and over again that night. Always come back this it one of my all time faves x

Isn't everyone sentimental?
I am sorry for your loss
He must have been a deep soul if he liked this song
Xx
Your son had excellent taste, share the love and joy of the song, its a beautiful thing he's left you to listen to it.
Peace be upon him 🙏
Fabulous song. I grieve for your son. May he be in absolute peace in the heart of the Lord😢🙏🙏
That song is so underrated the lyrics are so fucking good!😍
There's things I want,
There's things I think I want
There's things I've had,
There's things I wanna have
Do I want the dreams?
The ones we're forced to see
Do I want the perfect wife?
But perfect ain't quite right
Shopping every day,
Take it back the next break
They say the more you fly,
The more you risk
Your life
I'm just looking,
I'm not buying
I'm just looking,
It keeps me smiling
A house I've seen,
Another coulda been
You drenched my head
And said what I said
You said that life is what
You make of it
Yet most of us just fake
I'm just looking
I'm not buying
I'm just looking
It keeps me smiling
I'm just looking
I'm not buying
Well I'm just looking
It keeps me trying
And I'm just looking
I'm not buying
Well I'm just looking
It keeps me smiling
There's things I want,
There's things I think I want
There's things I've had,
There's things I wanna have.
They say the more you fly,
The more you risk
Your whole life
I'm just looking,
I'm not buying
I'm just looking,
It keeps me smiling
why do people do this on like every video
Thank you

Sweeeeeeeet love you x
seen then at v every year they have been there for 17 years and the always deliver amazing sets. r.i.p. stuart best drummer they had
What an album..what an era
Music is the healer 🥰❣️
Feeling quite emotional listening to this. Late 90’s uni halls, simpler times, a world away - but this remains brilliant.
Stuart seems enjoying it when he's driving the car down into the water :D
These guys are a big inspiration for me.
Best live band I ever seen,sound exactly the same,awesome!!
I love stereophonics!
Best band around today. Fab vocals from Kelly Jones. Long live the phonlcs. 😎👍🎶🎸

Each sketch is a weird mix of comedy and melancholy music. Absolute genius.
Doesn't get any better than this really does it.

guitar in the begining is beautifull
Black is the color that has all the colors inside . Keep inside you will find light ! When I was joung did have a bad feelings all the time , now I find my way home just following dreams them come true .Thanks for your music .
Marti Garcés White contains all the colours on the spectrum. Black isn't a colour.

Kelly is 24 in this video. Compare this to the shite young 'indie' bands are putting out now and I feel blessed to have grown up with Stereophonics.
+Matt Ah yes, well known indie single, published by one of Richard Branson's arms. Super underground stuff.
+Matt some people just want to watch the world burn. And yes these guys were Indie.

oh forfuxake.
why do you talk as if you're some old soldier from ww2?
you just aren't looking for good music. i'm a fan of 90s music more than anything but there's been so much great music since... i rem 90s more cos i was younger then and got out more, had a few more laughs than i do now.
sentimental claptrap.
great music but there's music just as good and better since [depending on personal taste].
but you keep livin in the past, mate.
you stay there.

+Matt "Ooh look at me, I feel entitled enough to put down current trends in music and live in the past."
Wind yer neck in pal.
Narred Darr Go on then, prove me wrong. Tell me the brilliant young British indie band that's coming through now. I can think of one, two at a push.
Performance and cocktails what an album fantastic
All great albums first 3 anyways
This band knocked out some of the best rock tunes ever.
I'm from Turkey, and Love them. Perfect. Really.
türk birisi buldum sonundaa
being a welsh born and bred girl makes me very proud, amazing band just like manic street preachers

Yeah Im a big fan of the stereophonics and manics.Special mention to catatonias international velvet album which is brilliant as well
Jade Cornwall listen to Himalayas, great welsh band
Can't forget feeder in great welsh indie bands from the late 90s and early 00s
Underated group great music

Keep grinding mate, i wish i was where you were at 24!
Love this song get this strange feeling everytime I hear it ..that's what great songs do great band
Feel i have been so many people listening to stereophonics over the years. Always had an album that has made every experience better... ❤
Nostalgic moments those late 90s early 00s .
T0HE VOICE OF A GOD DAMN ANGEL
WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THIS BAND
Happy times wish we could have em back RIP 🙏hope your smashing drums in heaven
What a heartbreaker of a song..i like to sit outside with a drink and cigarette alone and listen to this..cant help but get a bit sad..😥
Love Stereophonics! This song is beautiful, this video is great! Good to see baby Kelly and Stuart.

10 years on still getting played on the radio...wouldn't called that underrated.

Love this song, Kelly just soothes you then just let's rip, the band are so tight and don't overplay. Quality!
Love stereophonics every song
the 1st song i heard from the band -i was still in uni and found this song ina compilation album and i thank god i did .wat a band !!!

Fortunate to see them live.
