Cast - Guiding Star

[@Whistfulthinking]

Waking up at 8am and an 8 year old. Opening the curtains to a blue sky and shining sun and being so thankful. Especially with this playing on the radio. Then out to the park to play footy with the lads. Followed by gaming in someone's house. We never knew we were living the best days of our life

[@Anthony-tp6fm]

Love it ❤❤

[@Anthony-tp6fm]

Love love love ❤❤❤

[@declanmcguiness]

One of the most underrated bands of the 90s top class! One of my favourite songs they done.

[@lennon1482]

not that underrated, they had the fastest selling debut on polydor

[@DaveTaste]

The underrated meme appears on everything that ever happened

[@KeithApp]

Reminds me of a happier time. Back in the late 90s, life was worry free. Music was better in those days too. There were no dumb reality TV singing contents for manufactured artists. Miss the days when every song on Top of the pops was actually bearable.

[@Lee-lo5te]

Well said 👍

Keith Appanah Spot on comment

[@HelloJamesBond]

so why are you here watching it then weirdo

[@EVERTONPAUL1878]

Take me back please !

[@christianlennon714]

Keith Appanah We were completely spoilt for choice, we didn’t know we were living in a historical time we certainly never knew each album got better and exceeded the previous, you would hear Ocean Colour Scene, Radiohead, Suede, The Verve, then our if blue I remember first time I heard a song called Live Is The Law at 17 years old by the seahorses, after work I bought the album, it was referred to as the second summer of live and it was that, just beer, whiskey, a drink called Stobe which you can only get on internet, was your first alco pop, wow it was the best & girls were more Randy than us & hell of a lot sexier, bloody super models your ordinary lasses in clubs compares to what you have on TV these days, they didn’t show their full naked body which just made them much sexier, and talent man, you didn’t need X Factor shite which I refuse to watch & un trying to get it pulled as back in 90’s you sang in clubs hoping an A & R man show up & sign you, you just did not need TV Aibfubg shows with females screaming a song that has no melody, no harmony, no clever catchy riff, you didn’t need that shite as we had talent in bucket loads even the American band Presidents Of The United States Of America we’re epic compared to what we have now, it was always summer, it was always happy, happy, happy, no fuckin stress, no depressing female screamers (not singers) it seems like it was a magic time just caught in a time capsule, it seemed everything lead up to that point, to the 90’s, I say between 93-2000, we might have it again it might not be as epic but if X Factor shows were pulled, you’d have to go back to singing in clubs, which gains you experience, gives you your sound, hones your voice & sound, you earn the record contract, you write your own stuff, that’s what would happen again, the film Coyote Ugly, really nailed it showing you what you had to do, I remember needing 10 whiskeys to get on stage first time, not a brilliant singer but I had the hunger, boy did I have the hunger bad to need to write my own stuff & after few year of just fuckin around with two chords (didn’t know they were chords or what they were called lol know Now was Eminor & Asus4), I eventually just became a natural at guitar , now I write songs for local bands, I was in 2 bands in 99’s, every youngster was in a band & that’s just gone out the window, they’ve forgotten the most important thing in music (well it’s 2) MELODY & Hardworking, it gives you the hunger, you need melody & catchy chorus!s that make sense, I went to Ibiza in 98 and we ruled the Dance & Garage Scene, was at bloody knebworth for Oasis, I lived the battle of Oasis v Blur, back then I was die hard Oasis & OCS Fan, started getting really into blur around 98, it was magical man, just talent pouring our everywhere, it had lead to this moment, get rid of your Reality Shows & singing Shows or music industry is finished, it’s the bloody first time in history that the music industry has lost money, we set a bloody record in 90’s, on RV right now, an advert for X Factor saying it’s sold 300 million copies, man, Michael Jackson’s History Album did that back in 95, one man for fuck sake, it should be each artist doing that, Madonna’s Ray Of Light Album sold over 300 million copies, I had a gorgeous girl called Wendy, she was a fuckin stunner and she was obsessed with Madonna’s book that came out, you needed to be over 18 & have a key to open it, that book sold just as much, a fuckin book lol. We didn’t know it at the time even though we had a slight feeling, we were living through the second summer of love, we were living through history. Because hardworking bands like Manic Street Preachers releases Everything Must Go, stunning the fuck out of me & the critics, then Radiohead’s OK Computer, Kula Shakers “K” Album, Travis, their album along with Manics, is considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time, you just don’t get any of that magic now, their is no one coming along with a new, happy, sing along “Don’t Liok Back In Anger” Anthem, we had no voice after getting tapped with a lass that night through shouting lol Don’t Look Back In Anger. Somebody please, for the love of humanity, save this, pathetic, no melody, harmony, blaze of shite, please save this dying music industry, it literally takes 5 mins to write the shite they sing now and THEY ALL SOUND THE EXACT SAME BLOODY THING. To Cast, man thank you for the memories & giving me my hairstyle back then lol, thank you for the girls it brought along, thank you for the ecstasy & happiness.

[@boris4626]

Some songs are like a ray of sunshine straight into your mind. They can brighten your day. This is one of them. What a great song.

[@jaspurr77]

I thought you were gonaa say it isnt

[@fh5047]

Yep, listen to some songs and they just bring bk great memories, and this is one of them for me 🥰

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Sunshine Guitar music.

[@simonjames3209]

Very under rated band that did great tunes in the 1990's

[@jameskelly8301]

Simon James get up get up and get out ur toast lid...

[@DeadAnarchistPhil]

I know right? Loved these in the 90s!

[@DaveTaste]

Very insightful commentary.

[@8964TS]

Hadn’t thought of this song for years until this morning when my son started jumping on my bed shouting ‘Get up, get up, get up!’ and the tune came right back to me.

[@SalemGhassanHanna]

Great tune. Anyone who calls Cast underrated wasn't around in the 90s; they were very popular in their time.

[@Anthony-tp6fm]

Love this song ❤❤❤

[@colinjennings3661]

The mid to late 90s were a fantastic time for British music.

[@groovejet33]

Damn right

[@mikekaraoke]

+ early 90's + the 80's!

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Absolutely, cast space charlatans gomez ocs suede superfurry animals, spiritualized so many great British artists, even fun loving criminals had two great albums in the 90s

[@greggtaylor3519]

Living in South Wales loved the way you can hear the scouse accent in his voice which was so good

[@lennon1482]

you can hear the nasel lennon, john power was from penny lane

[@liamf7838]

belter of a song and band :)

[@coachtomas]

Woke up with this song in my head randomly. Rising Star ? Northern Star ? couldn't remember. Even thought it was The Las, I was close. Found it now ! Great talent which we need back in the mainstream again in 2023.

[@Anthony-tp6fm]

Love London ❤❤❤

[@7879Marina]

One of my favourite bands from the 1990s Indie rock era. Viva Cast for the memories of the glorious melodies.

[@Stefano1875]

Just home from seeing them at Edinburgh Liquid Rooms. still got it boys

[@alibob1986]

This song reminds me of being a kid in the summer holidays. Good memories

[@Lioness-cb2lm]

One of my favourite song Ever !! Sing it every morning to wake the kids up. Am such a 90s best time of my life. Free from worries and stresses

[@tamsmith291]

Yes haha 👍 I need to do that!

[@johnryder1713]

Haven't even thought of this song in 20+ years, really Thank God I did, still sounds brilliant

[@stevewilson9479]

just capped off the 90s nicely after manx mania! but great days..id go back in a spin & take my kids with me..

[@ianmcgregorhart9354]

Every song in UK charts pretty good back in 1997 with Brit Pop. Music landscape totally different with groups & artistes in control of their own output. Today it is very much media lead music seems homogenised and synthetic with keyboards fed through mixer to get high pitched sound.

[@christianlennon714]

ian mcgregor hart You Have just hit the nail right on the bloody head, they’ve gone back to 80’s sound, without the talent or melodies.

[@SamanthaGuttesen]

Boyband/girlbands of the late 90s and so on, were allowed to swamp the music industry. And brainwash and whole generation that guitars were out. Oh, and Simon Cowell is a c u next Tuesday

[@stephenwalker850]

Going to see then supporting Shed Seven in Dec in Manchester! Can't wait!

I remember seeing them in Paris supporting Oasis....Cast were LOUD! They blew Oasis away

[@scoop2963]

glimpse of a forgotten dream..

[@patriciamccrudden8661]

Love this group 😄

[@Picnicl]

Glimpse of a forgotten dream.. There is often, perhaps always, a sense that John Power is singing about The La's, about its pure beauty but also perhaps its (relative) stagnation in terms of what he was allowed to do in it.

[@shieldedforever4619]

Love it love it love it. Remember it vividly :-)

[@ForzaNapolI1875]

[@anthonywood7726]

Great happily song forever.

[@stephengeddes1409]

I've been looking for this song for ages. And it was well worth the time and effort. Good song 👍

[@mw-tu1xx]

Would wait impatiently for this song on the 📻 right after i finish studying then i go to bed in good mood 😍

[@CHRISDABAHIA]

2:30 COOL! 😎 🤯

[@roadrunner9669]

Always liked cast pretty sure I still have a flyer from the Boardwalk in Manchester with Cast on there they must of played there same time as we did, 95 I think , happy days and times for sure : )

[@MrEvanTea]

My favourite Indie track of all, God bless summer 97.

[@seancrooks3002]

Too true sadly xxx

[@matthewlidis]

John Power is a belting bloke and a belting songwriter. But, and there must be, what the fuck happened to Lee Mavers? I saw The La's (finally) at Glastonbury '05 and I thought it might trigger that mystical second album.

[@mikestagraming]

His voice is absolutely brilliant, where was this video filmed?

[@alexanrelz1979]

Stop here 2:36

[@Paul-dn2bj]

Not sure..but Morocco is my guess! Top band!

[@Rebelqueen89]

John !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@userdetails1]

Not my fav song of the late 90s, but it was a happy time for me and chart music of this era was good. Still brings nostalgia.

[@sheslying7117]

Reminds me of being around 6 and this playing in my mams car when she picked me up from football training on a Saturday morning

[@thomastoypen5076]

I had always wondered. You know the guy with the curls. And snap... There she goes again... it's John Power from The La's

[@MasterJTLS]

Even though I'm not a Christian...Cast are super under rated!!! This was a massive tune back in the day. Sad to see there official channel getting so little views. This was one of the songs of my childhood.
