Me too. This has become my favorite song of theirs. I love just how happy the song sounds despite how sad the lyrics actually are. In some respects, I think the video kinda visualizes that pretty well.
I feel this song so heavily now... I miss him so much. And it hits me metaphorically just like they portrayed in the vid. wow... He loved this song. RIP til I get there honey. Save me a spot.
I am sorry for your loss. Life has dealt some blows to me and my wife in the last four years ( two bereavements within three weeks of our closest relatives in June 2020), and some other issues beyond our control. I have always been a fan of a wide variety of music ( I am 52) but The Proclaimers have not been on my radar per se until recently. Music moves me so much but rarely to tears but theirs resonates with me so much because of the power of the melodies and the lyrics. An amazing band. I hope you find some measure of solace in the wonderful music of The Proclaimers as we must too in our memories of those we have lost.
This is fantastic video, fantastic song sung by two of the most underrated singer, songwriters of all time, mark my words these guys will be, are legends.
Indeed. I am Portuguese and I just found out the brothers. Just amazing, I do love them. I can't stop playing this song. I am having such a good time. Thank you Proclaimers.
Such an amazing song. Think of all the other tripe that got commercial / critical acclaim when this song was released and somehow this incredible song was overlooked.
Is it just me, or did it seem like they put alot of time, effort and money into making this music video, and it only gets 11k views? I thought it was pretty good, and iv always loved the Proclaimers. Are they just so old fashioned and forgotten now or what?
Just found this after hearing some of their music on an alternative radio station. This is a great song and glad I found them. Really like their harmony on every word.
The Proclaimers are mostly popular in Scotland and since there's a good few places in Scotland where Internet access isn't great mainly because it's Westminster's job to upgrade these services it does hurt their popularity to some extent as a lot of people don't get to see their videos as much as they would like to.
Adolfo Vazquez And then after the great intro you got yourself taken aback to hear that loud shout: There's a touch..! Man, that's real original. That's why I love it so much.
There's a touch upon my lips Left by memory's fingertips I still hear her voice When there's no sound There's a touch upon my skin Left when she went back to him All the rest has gone She's not around When I saw her first It was lust my friend Thought it would burn Then it would end But I lost my old philosophy Now I believed in love Well the months went by and my love grew strong Thought she felt the same but I was wrong She held my old philosophy Now I'm destroyed by love There's a touch, [etc...] Well I still believed that I would win Cos I was a better man than him She held the new philosophy Now she believed in love But the love she felt was not for me Said she would have to set me free Now I know there's no philosophy That can't be destroyed by love There's a touch, [etc...]
I have never seen or heard of this song, i know the from there song 500 miles in 1992 im 47 so they didnt really see any other songs later. Thanks for sharing.
Never thought to subscribe but you are right. Considering the absolute levels some of their tunes have attained its a wonder that they only have that amount
This is a brilliant song and the video is just the best. We cant stop laughing and we play it over and over again. The Proclaimers are so fantastically talented and unique. Brilliant brilliant. Please tour the south of UK asap.
I myself love the proclaimed and the one song they are known 4 (I'm gonna be) is now forgotten there should be some way that they can be taken back 2 fame
Todd in the Shadows sent me here, and I'm very happy about it,
Same
@@dan182v Being Scottish brought me here
Ha! I knew of these guys long before Todd, but I was really happy when he did a video on them.
Me too. This has become my favorite song of theirs. I love just how happy the song sounds despite how sad the lyrics actually are. In some respects, I think the video kinda visualizes that pretty well.
@Cian Abroad try "it's over and done with" That's up high in my top ten proclaimers. Definitely worth a listen to if you no heard it.
This song is one of the most underrated songs ever written.
It's rare you see a song this cheerful start with the band falling off a building.
Is it really all that cheerful?
Its amazing how they continued playing after suffering those injuries, they must have really hurt.
Lol
I feel this song so heavily now... I miss him so much. And it hits me metaphorically just like they portrayed in the vid. wow... He loved this song. RIP til I get there honey. Save me a spot.

Thank you all... this means so much. Bless you!
I already love this song but this video is awesome
that poor guitar tho
This is fantastic video, fantastic song sung by two of the most underrated singer, songwriters of all time, mark my words these guys will be, are legends.
lol
Saw them Thursday night un Sheffield. They did this song. Still brilliant.
I agree, love your voices guys
Indeed. I am Portuguese and I just found out the brothers. Just amazing, I do love them. I can't stop playing this song. I am having such a good time. Thank you Proclaimers.
These two lads should be appreciated much more than they are.they won't be here for ever...Absolute magic
Damn. Even their sad songs make me happy. I’d love to meet these guys one day. They seem like a whole lotta fun.
I'm thankful to live in a world where these guys are still putting out music and Todd in the Shadows is around to point me back to them.
This is the best Proclaimers song I have ever heard. It had a good blend of Folk and Soul to my mind, with a Dexys Midnight Runners flavour.
“There’s a touch upon my lips left by memories fingertips” ..........genius lyrics
These Guys are awesome. I have been playing their music since 1987, when I was 18. still they are the best and I continue to listen to them today.
I can't seem to get enough. I play their stuff to fall asleep at night
This is the perfect song for a roadtrip.
A 500 miles one?
The Proclaimers just have a sorta something... I like their moxie... they have this energy and give it their all and it's infectious
Saw them in concert in Glasgow. Fantastic. Seriously underated. So love this song ❤️
How anyone could dislike this is beyond me!
Brandon Scott ano one of my favourites 😎🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
♪ *_I STILL HEAR HER VOICE WHEN THERE'S NO SOUND_* ♪
craig and charlie are too perfect to die.
They are Vampires, that is why they are so ageless :)
Very underrated song.
The Proclaimers are unkillable! Brilliant!
all good things come from bonny scotland
Gary Lockhart sunshine on leith 🤙🏼
If it's not Scottish, it's crap 😄
Nicola Sturgeon?
My new favorite video! And growing to be my new favorite band as well.
You'd have to be made of stone not to tap a foot at the Proclaimers!
There's no philosophy that can't be destroyed by love.
I think that's the plot of many JRPGs
Living in Kitchener just be like this sometimes.
Saw them live in Aberdeen absolutely amazing
As an American I’m jealous of the Scotts that they all of these guys songs and we only got the privilege of the one.
Lang may your lum reek guys 😍🏴
Haven’t heard this song in years brings back good memories 😎🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
This song sticks in my ears from the very first time I heard it.
Oh boy,I'm.astounded to hear this song again first chewed on local radio in Inverness
I haven't heard this in years. What an amazing song!
This would have won us the Eurovision Song Contest. It has a similar tune to Let's get married.
Great duo so underrated some great songs and also their hibees so even better 🇳🇬
Just a normal day in Scotland
Faboulous song , could easily be another theme tune.
Sure, that's every musician's dream.
still a tuneee powerful cheers guys from glasgow scotland
Such an amazing song. Think of all the other tripe that got commercial / critical acclaim when this song was released and somehow this incredible song was overlooked.
This is such a great video. Fits the song so well. It's just a barrage of misfortune. I relate to this a lot honestly.
Thank god for Todd in the shadows
and Jim Sterling
"Helicopter Crash at the Pajama Factory" would be a great album title. It's yours if you want it, guys.
Is it just me, or did it seem like they put alot of time, effort and money into making this music video, and it only gets 11k views? I thought it was pretty good, and iv always loved the Proclaimers. Are they just so old fashioned and forgotten now or what?
Yeah, it's just you !

They're amazing
*I could say this is the best song intro ever made.*
Adolfo Vazquez And then after the great intro you got yourself taken aback to hear that loud shout: There's a touch..! Man, that's real original. That's why I love it so much.
Love is the definition of this song
saddest part is i love this song and can personally relate to it.
There's a touch upon my lips
Left by memory's fingertips
I still hear her voice
When there's no sound
There's a touch upon my skin
Left when she went back to him
All the rest has gone
She's not around
When I saw her first
It was lust my friend
Thought it would burn
Then it would end
But I lost my old philosophy
Now I believed in love
Well the months went by and my love grew strong
Thought she felt the same but I was wrong
She held my old philosophy
Now I'm destroyed by love
There's a touch, [etc...]
Well I still believed that I would win
Cos I was a better man than him
She held the new philosophy
Now she believed in love
But the love she felt was not for me
Said she would have to set me free
Now I know there's no philosophy
That can't be destroyed by love
There's a touch, [etc...]
Thank you for the lyrics
AWESOME!!!!! I'D NEVER GIVE UP HEARING AND SINGING IT! COOOOOL!
