Lyrics:
Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to ocean
Oceans tide you home
Home is where your heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
Nobody is an island
Everyone has to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow
And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long long time
Everywhere there's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovel's
Shoveling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore
You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces pieces pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you bind you grind you
And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long long time
You've been drifting for a long long time
You've been drifting for a long long
Drifting for a long long time
Travis are a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1990, composed of Fran Healy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Dougie Payne (bass guitar, backing vocals), Andy Dunlop (lead guitar, banjo, backing vocals) and Neil Primrose (drums, percussion). The band's name comes from the character Travis Henderson (played by Harry Dean Stanton) from the film Paris, Texas (1984).
#Travis #Alternative #IndieMusic
I’m in this video. I was 11 years old at the time. Spent the whole day shooting this video, the band were really cool. Best memory from school. I’m 33 now and feels nostalgic watching this
Aww, that's great ❤☀️
Cool ❤
Wow!
Omg you had the best chilhood
Very nice memory and an excellent song - one of my favorites from Travis. May I ask the name of the school and where is it located?
that was filmed in my school way back in 1999, i feel so lucky that i can turn on youtube and see my school and see all my friends. some who are unfortunately not with us now. it just floods me with memories from then. and yes...that really was our uniform!
Should recreate it for 2020, be interesting to see how folks have changed, but the song remains the same.
Better times back in 1999, I would love to be back there. 😌
Were you in the video yourself?
I went here too!! What year were you in when they came?our year was told we weren't allowed but some of my year were in the video anyway haha
Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last weeks xD
Healy has said: "Driftwood is a song for the person in your life who has so much potential and, yet, doesn't use it because they're afraid of falling on their backside, you know, they're afraid of making a fool of themselves. But, yet, if they put their minds to it and just threw their plate out the window, they would actually do a lot with it and make themselves happy and other people happy."
Thanks for sharing. :)
That description is bang on how I feel about someone right now
My life in a nutshell
😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
I interpreted it to be about ppl who don't set any goals for themselves and let stuff like addictions dictate their life, so pretty much the same
I finally got to see "Travis" live at the Coachella festival back in 07' (here in the states) and never in my wildest dreams did I think they would play this song live..Half way through a stellar set, the lead singer pulls out a 12 string (tunes it for a minute - telling all of us that "hell will be filled with out of tune 12 string guitars and broken sprinkler heads" Everyone LOLZ.
And boom they break into "Driftwood"... and it's a perfect day.
That's funny
I'm italian.I't s obvious few people know them here.They r so bloody good.This song is simply perfect.I love them.Best music is from UK.Absolutly.
May i suggest a brand new song..GHOSTED by THE CRUE...spotify.

Thanku x
You mean from escosia

wagbelt I was about to say.....
Can´t f****** believe how underrated this awesome band is!
I miss bands that created beautiful music from the 60's til the early 2000's. since then music standards have dropped dramatically. love this time period.
True. Computers and Autotune ruined everything...
Good music has already been made.
we saw them in blackpool with a support band called keane . both were fantastic great night. Travis bossed it by a mile.
Couldnt agree with you more my friend, although there are some talented artists around today, there is so much soul-less music pumped out with the sole intention of making money and therefore, as you said, to find real music of any merit you have to look back into the last century.
Amen to that brother!!
Frans a genius..glad they didn't get as big as coldplay, they are still around keeping it real
Coldplay are getting smaller and smaller ( but richer and richer)
@@RePapero1😂😂
Take a bow you guys,..created a beautieful classic!!!!
Can't believe that tune is nearly 20 years old.
+Andy murday 27 to be precise (the man who was released in 1999)
+Cristina L 17?
+Morrissey71trfc Precisely :P
+Cristina L ¿27 years? I just got a shiver
+Sinester yeh that's right
it's still gone quick though
Who's here in March 2020 trying to escape the madness that surrounds us all around the world! Coronavirus.
Its why I'm here, my partner is in the high risk group she's 28 I'm 31 it scares me that we might not get to live a full life together. I'm listening to music from my youth to forget about the current problems.
Yep but we'll all get there in the end just hang in there. It's gonna get good again 😎
bobby ray of the family smith well my good man I’m 20 years on from you.I haven’t lived my life nearly as fully as I should.Every one of those days I don’t get to do again.All the things I wanted to do but had to do other serious things first for reasons I don’t now even remember.This is a marker in your life.What you do with the rest of your life is up to you,but it’s two months on since you posted.What has your worry gained you?What has it changed?What has it cost you?You never get those days back.If you worried them away they’re still gone.Find things to be thankful for every day.No day is guaranteed,you’re here on a visit,it will end some day,enjoy the ride because there only is the ride
@@markd8931 Its Jamie Davies I live in the UK can you tell me that there's more than billions people all over the world and more than millions people in the UK that love living on their own and love having their own independence and love having their own freedom and love having their own personal space too just the same as me please message me back yes Deffo its true please Mark D mate.
I'm here just because it's a good song.
This in my unqualified opinion is the best song they made and is still my favourite guitar song all these years later. I’m still amazed that it didn’t top the charts for weeks and weeks. Everyone seemed to like why does it always rain more but Driftwood is my favourite by a country mile.
It is a great song, but better than blue flashing light?
It's too melancholic for folks
Same hear...this is the song that gets me the most 💞
@@Dmitrisnikioffyes I guess the average person just wants something happy and not meaningful/sad song's
The turn of the millennium what a time to be alive.
haha.. this was filmed in my school.. i still remember wearing that uniform.. xD
Which school?
Its Jamie Davies I like this song Sarah Max friend
Was the part where it rained supposed to have happened
Cool
And I'm sorry that you've become a driftwood
Filmed in my mums school you see her climbing up what a moment for her 🥹
Travis is the greatest band ever!
I don't have words to describe this song and I never saw a band that makes so wonderful videos. The scene when the girl down to the grades is the most beautiful scene that I ever see in a clip. I can wait to see the show in Argentina!
Uma das bandas mais subestimadas dos últimos tempos
Seriously underrated band.. lyrics never understood
every now & then i kept visiting travis. something so special about their music. I was born 1986 & thanks travis for being part of bright technicolor in my picture of life. greetings from malaysia.
Samalah
Remember opening up my birthday presents and "the man who" appeared, along with a revolutionary piece of equipment a CD WALKMAN. Man this song still sounds fresh
Really? 1999? I don’t think a portable CD player was revolutionary in 1999. I had one at least a decade earlier! MP3 players were introduced only a couple of years later...
J Giffen yeh man it still sounds fresh. Sometimes I stick on to get fresh again. Peace
watching in 2021 in a changed world but still finding comfort in a classic tune.
the phrase "it really is the end of the line" always gives me shivers....
Yes :')
Omg! Today is a great day! I rediscovered this song, never to let go❤🎉
My mate had this played at his funeral his favourite song great memories, rip shaun
😢
@@dcbeez5956 great tune d cbeez
Still think about my best mate can't help it
I'm so sorry for your loss💔
@@chriswright8929sorry for your loss mate, hope you're doing well
Made me sad when i was a kid...makes me sad now, beautiful song, wish everyone to find love inside and outside
One of the best bands in the world!!!!
Hands down the best 90s song.
This song makes every single hair on my body stand up, travis a truly underrated band! Thanks for the music forever grateful! 🏴🏴
One of the most underrated songs and videos of the 2000s.
A music appreciation class should always begin with:
1. This song.
2. A joint.
The number of people who appreciate music would grow exponentially.
In 2015 a very important person in my life died of cancer and this song describes what I was after that and what I felt. I was numb and felt that I was driftwood. Now I'm good though. Music heals.
so sorry for your loss, hope you're doing well, sending love man
@@cupcakebill911 Thanks, that means a lot to me. Saw a couple of dreams about him recently. They were lovely.
@@Jay-vm4ob Sure man, I lost a close friend of mine to cancer too, he was 27 years old when he passed, had never touched a drink or drug or smoked in his life. It was heavy duty, I sometimes give charity in his name, he was a good friend gone too soon man.
It's good that you seen these dreams, I believe that your friend is happy and is doing well wherever he may be. God bless you man
I really didn’t think it would happen but 22 years went so fast.
Same feeling here mate.
24 years, its gone too fast
One of Fran Healey's best.A song about losing your love and knowing things can get better again in life.
정말 이런 명곡을 들을 수 있다니ㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ 트래비스는 정말 2016년도에 락페스티벌에서 본 이후로 트래비스의 그 뛰어난 음악 스타일에서 벗어나올 수가 없다... 정말 언제까지나 나에게 정말 인상깊은 대단한 뮤지션💖
Once upon a time, Coldplay used to open for Travis! Let that sink in before putting things into perspective!
Coldplay kissed the right arses
Micro My Blood Coldplay has given Travis their due.
As much as I like Travis, they no doubt hit many truths square dead center, I must admit I like Coldplay more. I think they are a better band. Better songwriters. And again, as in touch with the human condition as Travis is, I think Coldplay is way more connected to it.
No as the above comment says`s they,ve just kissed the right arses thats how you ahead in life.
Once upon a time Travis used to open up for oasis. Oooo those days where the best so much awesome bands and music can't believe it's been bout 14yrs ago. wow it's crazy how time fly's.
20 years ago today this song came out. Travis is so underrated.
Travis were actually huge and loved in the UK, no one gives a crap if they were Scottish, Irish or Welsh. Music in the UK isn't like that. They've just been quiet for years. That's all.
The entire Album was epic, each and every song 😎…you want to regain hope, get this album
One of the greatest bands of all time in my opinion
Yes, very good band ❤
This song is timeless.
And sadly very very true...
I always listened to Travis's songs 17 years ago. Can't believe that I'm still listening to it today and the melody reminds me the days in the UK.
Beautiful song. The way Travis flows their song is just relaxing and a mix of emotion too.
This band was a favorite of my first loves. She introduced me to this genre of music and it forever changed me. Thanks Valerie Where ever you are!
Listening to this in 2019, in 4K with better focus.
I remember waiting for this Music Video to come on MTV in 1999, I had my blank VHS tape just sitting in the Video Recorder waiting to hit that Record Button as soon as it started ( ; but you had to be fast cos' if you didn't get your timing right & missed the start you'd have to wait atleast another 2 or 3 hours before MTV played it again ( ; 4K is Glorious but i miss the VHS day's lol.
Looks like upscaled 480p to me.
@@DRAGONS147Young people these days have no idea what that was like. Same with having the cassette poised in the radio ready to hit record
You're right there Alex ( ; I still have a few mix-tape cassettes lying around lol. The 90s........What a decade to grow up in ( ; The World is a little strange now.

What a great song
What a lyrical genius this song is! In fact, all their songs are!
Reminds me of Jayden from power rangers samurai, don't know why
When I sit back, close my eyes and listen to this song there are places in it where I literally suddenly am the piece of driftwood. Bumping along, this way and that, no control. Freaky!!!!
Play it again, again, and again..
This is what of the most extraordinary songs of the 90s. We, in Canada, didn't get to Hera this stuff until we sought it out after "Why does it always,,?" This is truly the most underrated band of my time after XTC
2024 anyone?
Yeaaah
Beautiful album ❤
Yeah , definitely, and for the rest of my life maybe ,
Always
❤Ich
do you ever get its not so much the song you like but the memories the song gives you? like this one?... over the 34 years of my mundane life i find iam actually liking songs i once never did just because the rush of memories of a more fun and non responsibility filled time in my life................. how i wish i could go back to my youth...god! wife, kids, and mortgage are a drag.....lol.. tack care!
hope your kids and wife dont read that, life would be a drag! no sex and kids who despise you.....lol
Haha! I'm 28, not too much younger than you, & as much as I don't have those type of responsibilities (by choice), I have others (disabilities that I've not long found out I was born with but decided to rear their painful ugly heads in latter years) - but I get exactly what you mean. I enjoy songs for their lyrics usually, but I was just listening to a few songs by The Script & for some reason I was trying to remember 'the band I always enjoyed & listened to on the music channel & radio' while slogging out at my friends - Travis! Young & carefree - often hungover, lounging on the sofa, laughing at our previous nights antics in the pub with this playing - I remember how popular it was back then. Time sure flies by doesn't it? I think it's even scarier how kids want to be grown up so quickly now, stay young! It's a trap! X
oops! heres me taking another wee trip down memory lane again... why cant i have a time machine and go back till i was age 20 or so, hope you conquer your new found disabilities Laura, as iam sure you will,,,just think of the good times,, and Johanna be cool! w.a.t.p... we are the people!
nosebuzz007 I find that this particular song not only engages my nostalgic feels even though I have own recently heard it for the first time, but also speak of the mundaneness of life which I can relate to.
haha WELL SAID nosebuzz007!!
One of my favorite favorite songs that I have personal connections to, absolutely brilliant song that makes me emotional every time I tune in to it.
I read "Animal Farm" while listening to "The Man Who", they are forever connected.
"The Last Laugh Of The Laughter" is probably my album favorite
Parece mentira tanta belleza musical en menos de 4 minutos. Qué banda tan genial es #Travis. México es tu fan 🇲🇽❤😉
There are a small handful of songs I think about sometimes and have to listen to that song right then and there and this is one of them. It 100% transports me to a specific time in my life.
So 90's, I really loved this song back then....and still sounds so bloody amazing
17 years ago.
It was just yesterday.
Jesus...
awesome song from legends travis the singer i always loved his voice. good music video, and meaningful song.
This song is one of the best timeless songs ever written ❤🙌👍👍
It holds up.
One of the best pop songs ever, an absolute classic :)
Travis still sounds as amazing as it did when I first heard it, unlike majority of other popular bands. The songs are pure, wonderful and moving.
So happy this video is now in hd!!! Can’t wait for all of them to be restored. Love you Travis! ❤️
love this video wonder ware they all are now
A truly beautiful song, I connected to it straight away when I was just 18 years of age. It has always inspired me and I think it is one of the greatest Scottish songs of all time ☀️🎵🎹🎸❤
I think Travis have written some of the greatest scottish pop songs. Id say its up there with Tinseltown in the rain by the blue nile
Me too Xx😊❤
Preston...,2024. Absolutely brilliant
Tumbado en la playa, disfrutando del mar Mediterráneo, contemplando la puesta del sol, escuchando Travis...
This song reminds me of a lot from my past. 15 years ago seems like yesterday
+Niki Fuller me too reminds me of my best friend anthony he died 2 years ago in a motorbike crash miss him so much
I was too there too man
Suffering from a brain aneurysm from before the first lockdown in the UK, lost my mum and dad at the end of last year, this is how I'm feeling, just drifting aimlessly 😢
Hope things get better for you mate 🙏🙏🙏
Hey dude, I hope that life's going good for you now! Stay strong x
1999 = I was 17. Lots of worries but also good memories. Had a great summer that year. 40 years old now but still look good!!
i just recently discovered the discography of Travis since here in the US, I had not known about them. Really great music that is so timeless.
Great tune, great band, miss these days so much. Best era wen life was all so good ❤❤
why hasn't this got more views? it's genuinely very good. I was only a baby when it came out but my English teacher played it for us back when I was in year seven. I hadn't listened to it for ages until the other day when I thought hey I haven't listened to it for a while but remembered the lyrics quite well.
AWESOME ENGLISH TEACHER...hope you appreciated him/her!!!!!!....one of my English teachers made a prediction that i would write words one day and touch folk..deeply!!!...what a guy...so i went back in time and dug out an old school report which read "David is showing signs of real ability in the written word ..long may it continue..i'm impressed"....from my Junior School English teacher(Mrs Davidson!!)..about the only thing i was any bloody good at!!!
BREATHE by JASMINE LAMPORT...can be googled....wonder if Mrs Davidson was right??...it's mellow but it's sure moving!!!...only Joe Public will know...
ENGLISH TEACHERS MUST JUST...KNOW!!!!
Love TRAVIS by the way...awesome album...listen to it all the time.
emma wolton Not so many people today listen to old 90s Britpop music
Maybe if everyone in the video was twerking...
Oh my joyful memories of this powerful song reaching me still, with transformed strength, still. Thank you. Beautiful people
Im brazilian, and I love this band.
Keep coming back to this song for 20 years, 💜
Not only is the song a masterpiece, but so is the video!
No matter how much time passes, I always get goosebumps with this song. wonderful
15 years on and Im still driftwood.
yup
Me too
Ditto
And me. At least we're not alone.
Me too
Thinking of our friend Ross Parker who was sadly taken away from us 20 years ago today in the most horrendous and callous way by others. This was played at his funeral and will always make me think of him. RIP bud.
One of my favourite tunes ever. Wonderful. Never gets old.
My mother is sick in hospital I truly hope she gets better soon from the bottom of my❤ going through an emotional time😢
Forgot how good Travis were at the time, underrated and better than Coldplay
And still are.
and for me, they still are...
agree, very underrated
Heard them on the radio earlier. Totally forgot about them, takes me back to my childhood
This is kinda true Travis for life
Nothing really ❤ this tune superb 😊 thx
Great band some good iconic songs remember when this band was around brings back some nostalgia! Classic song that still sounds good. Thoughtful and emotive sentiments in their music!
The "videoclip + lyrics" provides me a nostalgic sensation, in which you missed a single and precious moment of your life and never, ever, will have it again. This is seen by the picture taken accidentally out of focus, then the rain starts and the people run away from the scenary. Probably they will never be close again to take another picture, and the big and expected moment was gone, down the river under the bridge.
Nice observation :) ☆★☆ more feels for me now :')
We are all driftwood floating on the water of life. Isn't it amazing? Be kind. As fellow human beings, I want to tell you that I love you all x.
Randomly came into my head today.n Simply lovely song.
Love this song, every song reminds us of a time, and this is no different
So many good memories.
Always one of my favourite songs of all time ❤
Still one of my favourite songs 🥰
@@xAlbinopiratex How about now?
ahhhh. the good old days of good music and an 8x10 view camera.
Mark Wooood bowling from the top end. Getting lots of wickets wickets wickets.
What a revelation of the decisions of my life this song is
Bring back the memories of my fun searching of so called alternative back in senior high school era at Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, South East Asia circa 1999. At that time it was quite difficult to found alternative musician since internet are very limited info were available plus Indonesian music scene are owned by big multinational record company with their boring popular music. Until one day I watched one of MTV show called MTV Alternative Nation with their iconic motto "And we promised NO BOYBAND" ❤ so many unknown band in Indonesia such as Mull Historical Society, Mansun, Catatonia, Muse (not yet world wide famous at that time) and this song but accoustic version ahh I missed my senior high school era very much, I missed VJ Sarah Meier and VJ Denise Keller 💕
Seen them live in Hampden Park when they were supporting Gerry Cinnamon.. amazing x
Breaking into pieces... 🎶❤️
I have been drifting for many years. I am just glad that i have the means to do so. I have not worked in 20 Years. But, i have drifted for a long long time. And loving it.
You are lucky :)
Songwriters masterclass 💜🎹
"Home is where the heart is
but your heart had to roam"
Love this song. I had this album and would play this song almost daily while driving to and back from work.

Omg there was always a rumour that our school was in a music video but I can’t believe it’s true!!!
St. Philomena's Catholic School in Carshalton I believe? I remember it first hitting MTV and us wondering if it was a real school, or just a stage set and hundreds of extras?
Bet the girls had a great laugh that day! Certainly beats double Maths followed by English Literature 🤣
Edit: yes I'm old enough to have been around in 1999 lol
@@residentelect haha yes well the uniforms defo haven’t changed and the rules are still as pointless as ever 😂😂
Amazing
One of the best songs ever written... It breaks my heart and it reminds me of my childhood. It gives me sad vibes like those beautiful girls will grow live their lives get old and pass away they turn into drift wood...
Reminds me of my school days and my childhood memories nostalgia
A very very special song.................
