As a child I would experience moments of total peace, as if the world had become more heavenly, time had ceased and there was only stillness. I would think about these moments and wonder if anyone else knew what I had experienced. I sometimes found moments in literature where people expressed something like this, eg. D H Lawrence in’The Rainbow’ when he described the interior of Lincoln Cathedral having a ‘liquid atmosphere’. But when I read ‘The Four Quartets’ I knew Eliot had experienced something like it. These poems are like a sacred text to me.

Life before phones looks so much better

Toch een beetje een zanger die, wellicht ten onrechte, wat in de vergetelheid is geraakt. En wat fijn, dat we deze oude BBC-beelden hebben...

Brilliant Tom in the 80s this was my singing song walking home from my girlfriends gaff.

Reminds me of jolly boys only fools

Love this song, have this on 7inch vinyl, signed by yourself Tom

I'm only 17 and grew up listening to tom Robinson band and madness , grew up in classic cars and learning how to fix things , also went out every day on the bike and adventured around , got hammered on my 16th , my father raised me well

Oddział Zamknięty - Oddział This polish song has the same musical background, only lyrics written in polish are about mental house which is closed xd

Absolutely rocking song Tom 😊

my god , im proud to have grown up in this era, great times and fab music xx

Wonderful to see this, thank you for sharing.

You're a bit brilliant Tom Robinson. See you in King Tut's Glasgow soon.

Nice laid back funky groove.

Will TR ever write his autobiography?

Beautiful

I was due to see them live in May 2020. Ah well. I'm too far away now. Thank goodness for YTube :)

this was a great video! Thank you!

Tom, such a beautiful timeless song. 👌 🎼🎤🎸🎸

sounds good in the mix - people think a shakler is simple - but actually it is quite difficult to get it right in the beat and in the mix

Such a beautiful song, from a perfect album, I bought it on vinyl when it came out, and wore it out ❤ 🇪🇸

any suggestion that 'a little white line' isn't coke or speed is silly 0:52

Would love you to come to Coventry empire Tom so I can reminisce about the old times and enjoy your music live again.

Really good readings, much better than Eliot's own. I used regularly to fall asleep to this on cassette in my twenties.

Tom , I know your doing power in the Darkness and TRB2 at Manchester in October but if you could find it in your heart to include Spain , I would be made up Cheers 👍🎼🎙🎸

Love this song 🎵 🎼🎙🎸

My favourite punk band got both albums and managed to see them live in Coventry. Thanks Tom for some great music.

And the solo work! War Babies is another timeless classic. So many good songs!

I’d love to hear Tom on Word in Your Ear. With Mark Allen and David Hepworth. Good touring shows and biography topics too.

❤

Great song. I had the debut album on vinyl. Always reminds me of school discos circa 1978. Superb guitar on this particular track. Tom Robinson stood up for gay rights, too, when it was less popular to do so; not that I'm a - ahem - 'sausage-jockey' myself, you understand !!

This reminds me of drinking shandy at my freinds pub as a child in the 80s then having the shits later 😊 and it 123shit fart an I filled my draws 😅

That beautiful crunchy guitar sound, love you Danny

Summer 83. Brings back the memories

Great song. The model in the video is very beautiful

Great Song, 2468 motor way, Tom Robinson band

This song will always bring me back to my friend who lived in the woods with me. We would sit in front of my fireplace and listen to this song.

The Jolly Boys Outing, gotta love Only Fools and Horses!

what did Robinson do?

What a song, love it❤

WHAT A JAM. Found a copy of the album for three bucks and this song JUMPED off the turntable. It also had a hard skip right in the middle of the song. AAARRRGHH! Found another copy on Ebay and ordered IMMEDIATELY.

Always listened and remembered this one, but now I've stopped in 2024. Never too late to quit

Bless you Tom. This was balm to my soul.💗

Tell me this Tom Felton can sing and so can Sean Biggerstaff which means Draco Malfoy and Oliver Wood can sing. Why was there no songs in Harry Potter.

sentimental clap trap, nice tune, harmonics, but conscience agitating, which we don't need right now, Tommy ROBINSON

Only the very young and very beautiful can be so aloof 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just thought of this song from my youth. It’s been latent in my brain since the 80’s . Never forgotten!
