CAMERA OBSCURA - Eighties Fan [Official]

[@mim959]

"I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself" needs to go down as one of the best, most heart-warming lyrics ever. It's beautiful because, even though nothing is actually said, you know what's going to be said. Utter loveliness.

[@AJD...]

This notion is further intensified when she devotes this compliment to this person, and this person alone. Restricting a compliment to a person is an incredibly intimate notion in my opinion. Those 2 lines have so much emotional depth.

[@tawnikitari]

I always thought the same. 💜

[@YupIknowthatfeeling]

What a beautiful comment....just reading your comment itself has made my day! ❤❤ Wishing you a happy afternoon and for someone to tell you something lovely about yourself today 😊😊😊

[@vlad3060]

Still my favorite C.O. song to this day, not to mention the strings arrangement by Stuart Murdoch almost makes it feel like a B&S collaboration.

[@forestfriendforever]

I'll never stop listening to this band.

There's a ticket presale tomorrow Thursday 16/11 and general sale Friday 17/11 for a gig at the Barrowlands in Glasgow on Saturday 11/05/2024. If you're interested.

[@MrMonikerjay]

Love you Carey. RIP beautiful soul.

is she dead? .-.

[@citizenplane5840]

Like 20 years later here I am an American obsessed with this band.

[@AgilysChii]

While watching this video I was thinking "Wow, this really looks like a Belle & Sebastian video..." and then I saw it was directed by Stuart Murdoch. :) Best indie pop bands ever. Yay for Scotland !

[@speeduser3597]

One of the best songs of the 00's. One of the faves of Mr. John Peel.

[@OffensiveDriving13]

Tracyanne is the kinda woman that you rarely see smile but when she does, it's radiant :)

[@azzkeeker]

I declare all my love for Tracyanne. She has an amazing voice, a lovely smile and looks really cute at 1:05

[@johnnytainted]

Young Tracyanne makes my heart skip a beat.

[@ronniedillon]

This is, truly, a great band! They sound just familiar enough to be accessible but are unique enough to stand all on their own. I love them!

[@jurb156]

"I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else"

[@eyemonster12]

The first C.O song I heard, and the moment I fell in love with them. The news this week was so horribly sad, but what a magically productive life.

[@bahmanghahremani6080]

The beginning reminds of Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey"--another great Scottish band!

[@ThatCologneGuy]

agreed

[@brandonbushong7861]

Love this time period of the band. Fantastic song that never gets old. John with the tambourine...

[@altsmonksey]

This is the first song I've heard because of my sister back when I was just 8 and I've been in love with them ever since.. It actually saddens me to hear what happened to Carey Lander... May you rest well.. -from all who loves this band and their music..

[@belltocher]

Wow she is just a doll . And I love her voice.

[@budybradley8257]

See you guys in Mexico City. Will be coming from Los Angeles. long drive.

[@mothermetta]

In 2005, I worked at an Amazon distribution center. Their album kept coming up on my pick list and I could tell by the cover image that I would like it. I was right.

[@TheSpikehere]

I worked for the company that handled their label. Amazon were one of our many customers. Ah, we were all so much younger then.

[@amb625]

I can't believe Stuart Murdoch directed this.

[@TheLizardmonkey]

Like a candy floss scalpel. Travis can - off. Camera Obscura are the beating heart and soul of modern Glasgow.

[@waynedavis2092]

The more I listen the more I really love them. More and more.

[@Koshirozation]

"You say your life will be the death of you Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew? And long for all of them to fall in love with you But they never do" and i don't think that the beginning like "just like honey" (as someone said it wisely, "be my baby" before) is by accident here! Both bands from Scotland, it's 80's we are talking about! A brilliant little nod

[@lose8447]

I love the little nod to JAMC with the percussion

[@filippo6935]

My favourite band

[@chhewee]

club 8 is a very close second for me 😊

[@maysajatuworrahirun3118]

Still listening ❤ always love this song and band 😊

[@mchz69]

I just saw them in Philly, I was in awe- they are true rock stars

[@POSTHUMANandMe]

La banda más dulce del planeta

[@adrianmercado3092]

It was indeed Carey Lander in the video but she wasn't part of the band yet.

[@androidesolitario]

I Love this song, god, its great

[@RahulMishra9]

it keeps getting better all the way till the end. awesome!!!

[@suzydonozo95]

Ah I can hear this group over and over ;)

[@jeffunsworth1980]

at their best when with this understated sound,as in "keep it clean" Tracyanne genius

[@Manny123-y3j]

The radio station here played this the other day. Wow, I'm very impressed with the DJ's taste in music and ability to find obscure good music.

[@justinsullivan5470]

Don't you mean "ability to find Obscura good music"?

[@Manny123-y3j]

haha!

[@jamestrickingtonIII]

***** No. And Guppypal, don't encourage Justin here. Don't enable this kind of behavior

[@jazzing._]

i found this masterpiece by chance.

[@NKB_POE]

3:46 she's smile!

[@LiSaMaRie4624]

Yeah, she's gorgeous

[@frankmiyamoto4226]

Awesome sauce from l.a california thankyouverymuch

[@bluemondayparade]

How enchanted

[@piel5816]

Preciosa y emotiva….

[@HeyNeme]

Some of the melodies remind me of The Softies. Great song!

[@DonSulis]

Before "Just Like Honey" there was "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes!

[@arcapelagofig86]

hungover, stoned, hearing and seeing tracyannes delivery is my anaesthetic

[@ferbilbao6075]

Sublime.

[@russell2449]

Such a WONDERFUL song but with the weirdest video ever, lolol ;?D

[@monsieurguille]

the first time i can see her make a laugh!

[@willemrm4033]

Didn't know there was a video clip for this track. Pretty good one. Bit disappointed the other songs on the album are not like this.

[@Queerful]

Tracyanne ♥-♥

[@DonSulis]

As was said below and I didn't realize til too late.

[@fatimafernandez4952]

Amo esta canción!!!!

[@happyindie7950]

Ya somos dos

[@asdfqwe123]

Honest question: how did anyone see this video in 2002 before KZbin? Was it online somewhere? It's not like it was on MTV...

[@prcovers8960]

Good point

[@jameskabala7465]

If I may absurdly reply to an antique comment, maybe it got some airplay on MTV Europe and other British stations? I know Camera Obscura has had slightly more commercial success in their home island. Yes, I would be very surprised if anyone in North America saw this at the time it was new.

[@martirpeperino]

oh yes!

[@WanderingTwin1]

Great track!

[@dramaticawesome]

young tracyanne

[@7TonyCesar7]

Tracyanne i'm love with you..

[@fernandoperezbarreto7699]

Agree! Which in turn is based in another great song "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes

[@mato1896]

Reminds me on Belle & Sebastian pretty much...

[@rong2912]

They're all friends

[@zcolmeyaufop]

she makes my heart beats faster ... luv her

[@Ofuncionalismo]

Intro... Feels like "Just Like Honey" from The Jesus And Mary Chain...

[@osmoore88CFCc]

Lovely

[@myphotossellhomes1435]

3 years since the last comment- I will never stop listening either

[@rong2912]

RIP Carey

[@chrisgarcia3035]

[@chhewee]

[@papipitillos8540]

💜

[@HarryHayesMusic]

ahh yeah thought i wasn't the only one think on those lines. a lot of jamc have a similar feel to be honest XD. i love them though, the reid brothers are genius. haha yeah i never noticed that, seems very probable though, good shout ^^ haha

[@carpii]

Gotta love Tracyanne. I think I've got a thing for depressed looking girls.

[@rong2912]

She's insufferably cute. Sweet as hell.

[@THCarballo]

si mano

[@davidellis5141]

Phil Spector would have been a great producer for them. Coffee and tv..

[@altlucasdm]

Its Stone's "Out of Time".

[@rosskstar]

the band should start taking walks together....something

[@WernerTon]

verse taken from Bowie's Sorrow :)

[@Jonbhoy2567]

+WernerTon Bowie only covered Sorrow himself.

[@WernerTon]

+Jonbhoy67 ah right, didnt know that :) thanks

[@londonlee62]

Two of many, many songs that use/stole the bass drum-snare intro from 'Be My Baby'

[@belltocher]

Tracyanne is a knock out. I like this vid , the de-geek squad seem to be very effective .

[@EpiphanysTerror]

1:12 Who’s looked up andmoresound.co.uk and find it to be a dead link? I have.

[@avgvstvs70]

That link has been dead a very long time. I looked into a few years back though and found it was a company that rented equipment to musicians.

[@HeathenChannel]

i think this vid is sweet but history..this has NOTHING to do with honey in the sun or the sweetest thing. love CO whatsoever

[@HarryHayesMusic]

is it just me who thinks the drums at the beginning sound like "just like honey" by jamc? still a great song though, her voice is gorgeous

[@stevetollerud1192]

The day after my divorce this spring, I had " about no one else" tattoo on my right wrist.

[@MrMOON-pp5ib]

❤❤

[@suzydonozo95]

Dis my #1 family karaoke jam!!! X) ;) ♥♥♥

[@kirkfnw]

Was introduced to this band with "Maudlin Career", and I thought they were American. From listening to this compared to today, sounds like she definitely lost some Scotch in her. :D

[@ChesterAsucka]

...Oh dear god...

[@ROBERTHIM]

I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else

[@Coscoi]

Comente

[@momothecat1]

say goodbye to Hollywood. say goodbye my baby.

[@Alejandroken]

mamasitaaaaa

[@Nightkzi]

Before forming the Strokes, Julian Casablancas was the lead singer of Camera Obscura...

[@rong2912]

She has more heart in her little finger than he does in his whole rotting meatsack of a body.

[@indranilbanerjee1494]

Whenever she sings "Do you wash your hair in honeydew?" I sing "Do you wash your hair in irrn-bru?". Is that ok?

[@uladzislaushulha1994]

Thats perfectly fine if ur a Scotsman

[@mastersamus500]

If you like the song is ok

[@stephenhussey6043]

Indranil Banerjee you must call a priest immediately to repent your sins,.... Irn bru is loaded with sugar!!!

[@rafaelbutu7421]

Was really necessary using the whole reverb on earth?

[@edurocha05]

wow, this song is sad as f#ck. headin out straght for my fluoxetine.

[@gerardust]

3:36 Tracyanne wearing just a bra =P

[@sonial1839]

Ah, caray, tracyanne estaba bien shishona, no me habia dado cuenta lul

[@RiloProducciones]

That bathroom scene

[@samuelw.fergusonii5857]

I guess they are no longer together, after the loss of Carey?
