I was probably one of the first people to hear this song. I was in a band in the late 80s and one night after a gig we were staying in Lancaster Gate Hotel in London when these guys came in. We got chatting and went upstairs to their room for a smoke and drink and they played us their demo. I remember sitting on the floor and Lee was standing on his bed, this song came on and my jaw dropped. They were nice fellas, younger than us, but I knew I'd heard something special. You don't believe me? Fine. My band toured with The Ramones and Iggy Pop. We were called The Seers and although we never made it big we had a good crack at it. kzhead.info/sun/e7hyaaawZJl8lGg/bejne.html

For those who don’t know, this was the La’s one and only album. Around the time of 1994, the band completely vanished from the music scene and never properly resurfaced afterwards. Its sad to see a band with so much potential simply dissapear for reasons unknown, especially when you know they could have been one of the greats.
@himed56006 ай бұрын
99.999% of the time its just bad management who didnt know how to capitalize on that 15 minutes of fame and turn it into something sustained. There are so many examples of great bands who actually either did or could have had long careers of great songs, but idiotic management meant the world only ever got to see a single songs brief but brilliant day in the sun. And more often than not , the crushing disapointment of not maintaining that hit streak just crushes a bands morale and it dies.

Those of us that knew the scene in Liverpool know the reason why the la's never had a second album... You're right that they could have been one of the greats but eventually promoters, labels, venues and fans get tired of no shows and sub par live performances. Addiction is an awful thing and I hope he's clean and healthy now but they missed the boat to fame unfortunately. At least we will always have this perfect pop song.

And sadly about 5 years too early to ride the Britpop invasion into the US. while this stuff was on the fringes of pop in the UK in 88, the americans had no idea what to make of it. It would have sounded at once both anachronistic and futuristic to them. If they had launched in the US after about 93 they would have been chart killers. Alas, I think the label spent too much trying to promote a band in the US that the US market wasnt ready for and it broke the band.

This song is acoustic perfection, it encapsulates the 60’s Mersey beat with the melancholy vibes of the late 80’s. The reason it is so iconic is that you can hear the heart felt strain in the singers voice, yearning, loss and hope all at the same time. Is it a song about an elusive, unobtainable love or in is in in fact about chasing the dragon that is heroin? Who knows? All I do know is that it just fucking rocks!

@@avidadolares It's obvious you're projecting. You're comment isn't exactly represensitive of an affluent, critical mind. I'd suggest it's you that hasn't listened to enough music, your interpretation of my comment says as much. The Las album and Lee Maver's artistic integrity is well recognised by those of us who aren't stuck in the postmodern loop. It's clear you're confining my comment to a single famous song and unable to contextualise what I said otherwise. I'll assume you haven't listened to the Las album or the lost recordings and only know this band by way this famous song. I'll do some contextualising for you, information that can be readily cited when sifting through my enormous collection of music magazines - when discussing British 90's bands, for the best part of two decades the La's were left out, while Oasis, Blur and Radiodhead were in the minds of the laymen, the only bands to have existed. I'll be going to watch John Powers later on this year in Dundee, you know, the La's guitarist and latterly the frontman of Cast. Shall I direct you to when I supported Joan Armatrading in a sold out concert hall? You don't know who that is do you? You might want to look up the definition of the word "trope" and stop acting on presumption.

After two miscarriages my wife gave birth to our two little twins girls only four days ago. Since they were premature (32 weeks of pregnancy), it was necessary to put them immediately under full-time assistance for newborns, and they shall remain there for more than one month. Although there is a very competent team with them, I can't help but feeling a mix of sorrow, hope, relief, and pain while watching them struggle for their lives. To be born and to die shares the same dwell against odds, and you never know what will be the result. While they are being fed and sleep, I try to cuddle and sing a lullaby. This song happened to appear on KZhead's suggestion. The lyrics express their situation because there are several cables to nurture them through their veins, mouth, and nose. In the meantime, I'm constantly praying for their speedy recovery and growth. What is left for me as their father is to image them running down through the corridor once they're older enough, and all of this will be a beacon of a shade memory fading away in my mind.

The first time I heard this song was when Sixpence None the richer covered it. I loved that cover, but this is something magical. The song sung how it's supposed to be, not sanitised and standardised... the intended accent and emotion. Everything is perfect about this song, including the fact that it doesn't mess around. Says what it wants to say and ends before it gets boring and repetitive.

Liverpool (where The LA’s are from) was Daneland. Huyton I believe started as a Viking settlement and most English people are of Anglo-Scandinavian decent as opposed to the common misconception that English are Anglo-Saxon. Basically what I’m saying is Yorkshire wasn’t the only place that the Vikings took. In fact there was only the South East that avoided them. Even Ireland’s population would have actually died out if not for the Vikings meaning they’re not even Celt but Scandinavian themselves.

One day his boss tells him to get the keys for a derelict factory building that was on their books, get his arse down there and let in a pop band and camera crew who are shooting a music video. As this was not the usual he asked who the band was, his boss looks at the paperwork and tells him "it's the L.A.'s, never heard of 'em, probably Americans from the name" Anyways the L.A.'s were the Las and he spent the day watching them make this.

I was probably one of the first people to hear this song. I was in a band in the late 80s and one night after a gig we were staying in Lancaster Gate Hotel in London when these guys came in. We got chatting and went upstairs to their room for a smoke and drink and they played us their demo. I remember sitting on the floor and Lee was standing on his bed, this song came on and my jaw dropped. They were nice fellas, younger than us, but I knew I'd heard something special. You don't believe me? Fine. My band toured with The Ramones and Iggy Pop. We were called The Seers and although we never made it big we had a good crack at it. kzhead.info/sun/e7hyaaawZJl8lGg/bejne.html

For those who don’t know, this was the La’s one and only album. Around the time of 1994, the band completely vanished from the music scene and never properly resurfaced afterwards. Its sad to see a band with so much potential simply dissapear for reasons unknown, especially when you know they could have been one of the greats.
99.999% of the time its just bad management who didnt know how to capitalize on that 15 minutes of fame and turn it into something sustained. There are so many examples of great bands who actually either did or could have had long careers of great songs, but idiotic management meant the world only ever got to see a single songs brief but brilliant day in the sun. And more often than not , the crushing disapointment of not maintaining that hit streak just crushes a bands morale and it dies.
CAST John Power from the LA’s
Those of us that knew the scene in Liverpool know the reason why the la's never had a second album... You're right that they could have been one of the greats but eventually promoters, labels, venues and fans get tired of no shows and sub par live performances. Addiction is an awful thing and I hope he's clean and healthy now but they missed the boat to fame unfortunately. At least we will always have this perfect pop song.
@@Hagg-o-tron I hadn't realised that. Certainly, I'm struck by how unhealthy one of the band members looks in this video. I never saw this video at the time but got the album about the time it came out and loved it. What a terrible waste of talent.

A proper British classic.
Probably the most perfect Indie song ever written. It's just perfect in every way.
And sadly about 5 years too early to ride the Britpop invasion into the US. while this stuff was on the fringes of pop in the UK in 88, the americans had no idea what to make of it. It would have sounded at once both anachronistic and futuristic to them. If they had launched in the US after about 93 they would have been chart killers. Alas, I think the label spent too much trying to promote a band in the US that the US market wasnt ready for and it broke the band.
Almost thirty years, and still timeless. Thank you Lee Mavers.

This song is acoustic perfection, it encapsulates the 60’s Mersey beat with the melancholy vibes of the late 80’s. The reason it is so iconic is that you can hear the heart felt strain in the singers voice, yearning, loss and hope all at the same time. Is it a song about an elusive, unobtainable love or in is in in fact about chasing the dragon that is heroin? Who knows? All I do know is that it just fucking rocks!
Yeah, it's impossible to date if you've never heard it before. It could have been recorded in the 60's...or last week.
@@vordman you say that, but when was the last time you heard a song this good lately? They don’t make music like this any more
It's about heroin, mate.
"Chasing through my veins..." Classic H song.
@@emiledarraghbarry They're scousers, so definitely heroin.
One of the greatest riffs ever written.
I like this song too, but that's a crazy thing to say
@@toptentechtipsthingsricegu8822 why? It’s a perfect example of original and catchy and accessible song writing that connects with the listener.
Hard to believe this is 1990. Looks and sounds so fresh it could have come out this year, and it would still have been a hit.
Moje srdcovka ❤. Zdravím z 🇨🇿
So True x
It's 1988
This isn't even a 90s song, thought it was, it's from 1988 which makes it even more insane
I know it's not from nowadays because nowadays "mainstream" is almost ALMOST 100% SHIT
Quelle époque ! .. ✨🎸
This song is so great because it doesn't seem to have verses and chorus, every part is a singalong chorus. And John Powers drifting backing vocals push it up another level.
@James Cricket Someone will be along to use smaller words for you to understand
Great point. Just shows you can write a fantastic pop song and not conform to the same strict set of pop rules. I wish pop singers and producers today would do the same.
so true !
Didn’t Bohemian Rhapsody already did that?
yeah those kinda structures in songs lovem
2021, who’s still listening?
Me, in 2021.Kind regards from Russia!

The most underrated band of the 90's.
They were an '80s band, really. But I see where you're coming from: their sound on this little belter definitely has a '90s gloss on it. 👍
@@avidadolares It's obvious you're projecting. You're comment isn't exactly represensitive of an affluent, critical mind. I'd suggest it's you that hasn't listened to enough music, your interpretation of my comment says as much. The Las album and Lee Maver's artistic integrity is well recognised by those of us who aren't stuck in the postmodern loop. It's clear you're confining my comment to a single famous song and unable to contextualise what I said otherwise. I'll assume you haven't listened to the Las album or the lost recordings and only know this band by way this famous song. I'll do some contextualising for you, information that can be readily cited when sifting through my enormous collection of music magazines - when discussing British 90's bands, for the best part of two decades the La's were left out, while Oasis, Blur and Radiodhead were in the minds of the laymen, the only bands to have existed. I'll be going to watch John Powers later on this year in Dundee, you know, the La's guitarist and latterly the frontman of Cast. Shall I direct you to when I supported Joan Armatrading in a sold out concert hall? You don't know who that is do you? You might want to look up the definition of the word "trope" and stop acting on presumption. Feel free to look through my channels playslists if you're interested in the Japanese jazz movement or perhaps African revolutionary rock. I'll have a peek at yours.
@@anthonymcintyre2242YOU COULD NOT HAVE SUMMED THIS UP BETTER… I CAN TELL YOU LIKE MYSELF ARE A REAL LOVER OF MUSIC AND YOU CLEARLY KNOW YOUR STUFF… THE CAST WERE ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL IN THEIR OWN RIGHT TOO…. I DJ IN LIVERPOOL OFTEN, I DO PLAY UNDERGROUND ELECTRONIC MUSIC… BUT BANDS LIKE THE LA’S, JOY DIVISION, AND SADLY WHEN IAN CURTIS TOOK HIS OWN LIFE, NEW ORDER WAS FORMED… I ALSO ADORE BANDS LIKE THE CURE, THE LIBERTINES, I ALSO THINK PETE DOHERTY WAS A GENIUS SONGWRITER… DON’T LOOK BACK IN TO THE SUN WAS PLAYED AT MY BEST MATES FUNERAL, WE WERE BOTH UK SPECIAL FORCES… HE SURVIVED IRAQ, BUT WAS SADLY KILLED BY A CAR AT 60MPH THAT HIT HIM CROSSING THE ROADS….

@@onesyphorus the song is about heroin

it is not about heroin, been proven to not be the case in multiple interviews. he had not even tried heroin until 2 years after this song was released.. golden brown however is a very popular song that is secretly about heroin @@stevenaddison4167
These guys look and sound like every famous British band combined
That's because they are British
They are so stereotypically british, the lead singer looks like david bowie and hugh laurie combined
They were the founders of 90s britpop
@@MrGlk Exactly, they're the forerunners of some of the other bands mentioned here.
Yeah, the bassist looks exactly like the singer from Cast. Weird.
Over eight and a half thousand comments, and every single one full of love for this song.🤩
I love reading those comments where people share their childhood memories or any kind of memory with a particular song.
This music can only come from the UK
Really? I'd agree on Beatles, Kinks, Smiths and many more, but this has a very 60s West Coast feel to me (Byrds) - the music, mind you, not the looks!
@@thenavajoknow nah mate this sounds scouse
@@lennon1482 I have to say, i always thought this was an American band (Although i was 6 years old when it was first released) and its only been in recent years ive found out it was a Liverpool band...but now that i know it is obvious when i listen to it, 100% northern England. Also i didn't not know the lead singer of Cast was in this band too
The good Music always come from UK
@@lennon1482 Made my fucking day ;-)
My wife walked down the aisle to this song at our Wedding.
sorry to break it to you but the song is about heroin because they were drug addicts i think
That’s so cute I’m so happy for youuuu
@@nickchow3706 no, its probably not, do a bit more research buddy ;) non of the band had even tried heroin when this song was written, its an urban myth.
thats such a shame, i hope you got over it, 'plenty more fish in the sea buddy!
An urban myth? The guy used to lick the end of used syringes to get a hit
Congratulation you finally find the song that play in your head all along
ahahhahahahah its true bro!
Literally.
The greatest tune ever Paul from huyton Liverpool
My dad's band supported The La's! Love them!
Impossible not to repeat this song several times in a row
Because why ???
thought I'd listen to just one song before bed and am now on to 7th listen already...
4 going on 5...
Me at this moment
7 this will be the 8th... having a crush doeant help rn
After two miscarriages my wife gave birth to our two little twins girls only four days ago. Since they were premature (32 weeks of pregnancy), it was necessary to put them immediately under full-time assistance for newborns, and they shall remain there for more than one month. Although there is a very competent team with them, I can't help but feeling a mix of sorrow, hope, relief, and pain while watching them struggle for their lives. To be born and to die shares the same dwell against odds, and you never know what will be the result. While they are being fed and sleep, I try to cuddle and sing a lullaby. This song happened to appear on KZhead's suggestion. The lyrics express their situation because there are several cables to nurture them through their veins, mouth, and nose. In the meantime, I'm constantly praying for their speedy recovery and growth. What is left for me as their father is to image them running down through the corridor once they're older enough, and all of this will be a beacon of a shade memory fading away in my mind.
The bittersweetness of this song touches your soul... it's strikingly simple yet so ineffably _haunting_ and that lilting guitar riff is like a lost lover's caress. A crystalline serenade of heady carefree days that seemed to last forever.
Es una de las cinco canciones perfectas según la ciencia, los acordes mueven los estados de ánimo de la felicidad a la nostalgia. Es ciencia, pero parece magia.
Antes que salga esta lista ya era una musica que me llegaba mucho ahora entiendo porque al parecer no era yo el unico que sentia eso
Guaaauuuu
Tiene algo
Lo es también en mi top five de preferidas!😊
@@fernandovillalba1762 there's a place es otra
lee said in an interview that he initially used this riff to tune his guitar and he just made the lyrics up as he was tuning. genius
Best pop song of all time!
Kiss Me by Sixpence Noen The Richer wins that title. They also did a cover of this song.
I think it doesn’t have the depth to compete, only my opinion.@@ivanjulian2532
Greatest song the 60’s never wrote!
Feels like it could have been a single from the Byrds

@@luislizard2626 Keep enjoying it Luis. Scouser music !!
The first time I heard this song was when Sixpence None the richer covered it. I loved that cover, but this is something magical. The song sung how it's supposed to be, not sanitised and standardised... the intended accent and emotion. Everything is perfect about this song, including the fact that it doesn't mess around. Says what it wants to say and ends before it gets boring and repetitive.
I'm just gonna say it. The La's wouldn't have been a success without John Powers on backing vocals. He reawakens that childlike sense of wide-eyed wonder in us all. Easily one of the best backing vocalists who ever lived.
One of the first tunes I learned on guitar, in prison, most productive 8 years of my life, im a good boy now 55 years too late.
Skibidi
He does look heavily Brythonnic. A lot of people do in the north (well outside of Viking Yorkshire). I have similar features myself. Get mistaken for Irish or Breton a lot.
Liverpool (where The LA’s are from) was Daneland. Huyton I believe started as a Viking settlement and most English people are of Anglo-Scandinavian decent as opposed to the common misconception that English are Anglo-Saxon. Basically what I’m saying is Yorkshire wasn’t the only place that the Vikings took. In fact there was only the South East that avoided them. Even Ireland’s population would have actually died out if not for the Vikings meaning they’re not even Celt but Scandinavian themselves.

My best friend worked for a while with the drummer (He's a rope access worker these days). He said this song is his pension as he gets a nice royalties cheque through the door every month just from this one song.
@Cool Waters Can't see why he'd lie about it. It may not be an equal division though.
It’s impossible not to smile when listening to this.
I've been listening to this good song for a long time, does anyone else agree with me in 2024? /Llevo buen tiempo escuchando este buen tema, ¿alguien más coincide conmigo en este 2024?
2 minutes and 50 seconds of pure joy.
Mario Škof 2minutes and 52 seconds to be precis

Thatcher destroyed Britain, but some great music came out of the psychological and social damage.

@@banksiasong Great point. There was a cultural backlash to Thatcher's destruction of society and we need something similar to happen today. You do see snippets of it, but we're not there yet.

HAHAHAHA oh lordy. Send help. I can't even. I have no words.
must be the earliest "Britpop" sound. ten years before its time.
This song kick-started it, paved the way for Suede, Pulp, Blur and ultimately Oasis
Literally, the song is just a Chorus, a beautiful chorus ans that's it... its amazing.
A great song from one the greatest debut albums of all time
extremely ahead of time piece of music. if they wrote that song in 2013 nobody would notice...
.An old friend, Nigel Weston RIP, once told me he was working for a commercial property leasing firm on Merseyside in the late 80s - early 90s. One day his boss tells him to get the keys for a derelict factory building that was on their books, get his arse down there and let in a pop band and camera crew who are shooting a music video. As this was not the usual he asked who the band was, his boss looks at the paperwork and tells him "it's the L.A.'s, never heard of 'em, probably Americans from the name" Anyways the L.A.'s were the Las and he spent the day watching them make this. Always think of Nige when I hear this.
The year was 1998. I was only 6. I remember sitting in the backseat, of mum and dad's Renault Savannah, it was so warm that summer. It was a long drive down to Cornwall, from Bradford, but I remember it like it was yesterday. This song was on the radio. Memories.
I just love how my life changed since I first heard it, I love even more the emotions it brings back from that time
The 80's man... The freedom, the cold, the positive atitude, good people everywhere... What have we become?
We've become lazy, selfish and gentrified. Makes me fuckin sick
This song is about Herion so yh
+Nuno Alex there were plenty of twats about in the 80's, i think technology and what have you has probably made people more absorbed in their little worlds now, but whatever human nature hasn't drastically changed in the last 30 years thats for sure. if the internet had come out in the 60's then people in the 80's would have been exactly as they are now.
+Nuno Alex Positive attitude and the 80s do not go together.
+Wazzok1 in liverpool it had to
This song would have been a hit in ANY decade.
Fresh today as the day it was released 👍🏻
This is close to a perfect POP song. It can stay fresh with repeated plays.
Damn, Songs like these and Football make me wanna visit England :(, i wish i could someday.
dont bother, I live here and want to get out, taxed too much and shitty living on the contrary to popular belief, heed my advice and don't
***** So i've heard, but i don't wanna go to live there i just wanna visit and come back to my country that's all lol.
***** You make me laugh mate. England is still one of the best countries in the world to live in. One problem it has got though is that it is full of moaning fuckers like you who don't know when they have got it good.
bridesheadrev hear hear we aint the best country in the world but we are a lot further up the list than the most
oooh keyboard warrior, work on your speech pal and get out out of your arse, the place is a shithole, and everyone normal person knows it
Wow, I don't really know how this song makes me feel, happy, nostalgic, sad??
Daniel Buggie same. I can’t figure it out either
I think that's the beauty of this song, it makes you feel so many things - nostalgia, sadness, loss, happiness, good memories, excitement
Same here dude, !!
No, your sad already. Get the "pistols" on the hi-fi and crack out the special brew. If that doesn't make you punch the wife on the chin well I just guess you'll never be happy.
it’s probably because this songs about the sad and happy parts of using heroin that what the songs about btw
Just another bit of sheer perfection from out of Liverpool. 👌
Hey you should look up a band called The Doublejumps if you like The La's

This song is up there with 'Love will tear us apart'. A song that other top bands wish they'd written and recorded. Doesn't matter that the band, in its various line ups, didn't conquer the world. Everyone remembers this song - it takes over your mind and takes you places.
Great comparison 👏
To be fair there are thousands of songs other artists wish they'd written and recorded.
Two top song
Simply the most world class tune the indie scene has ever produced.
is it indie ? sounds more like an early formation of Brit Pop
One of the sweetest rock songs ever!
I remember listening to this on vinyl in the early 90s. There was never not a good time to put it on. It still feels like a breath of fresh air today.
Hi👍
This song is unreal seriously! Sounds even better now than it did in the 80s
Best song in the history of song making - guitar riff is legendary
