The Beautiful South - You Keep It All In | Reaction!

After reacting to the Housemartins a few times, some have suggested that I listen to Paul Heaton's other band, The Beautiful South. Coming into this, I thought Paul was the only singer, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear Briana and Dave! They had great vocal chemistry. It's a cheery sounding song with some sneaky dark lyrics. Plus, the bass work is superb.
Thanks for watching!

So happy you have reacted to the beautiful south. They have so many classics.

[@TheRyan107]

"Old red eyes is back, song for whoever, a little time, perfect 10, don't marry her, I'll sail this ship alone." Much much more

[@stewartmitchell8007]

The Housemartins "Build" single would be a great song to review as it would introduce you to Dave who also sings in the beautiful south. Excellent work as ever Nick.

80’s Sitting in friend’s basement listening - great times- great song!

[@jerkyd499]

They came and drew us diagrams❤️

[@stewartmitchell8007]

Showed us how it all worked out And wrote it down in case of doubt

[@user-ou2ji2dk6n]

Dave also joined them on drums when the previous drummer Hugh had some “ legal” problem’s, when he lost his freedom.

[@stewartmitchell8007]

Yeah, sadly he got the Axe.

[@kevinchester0533]

Only band I'm aware of that once split due to musical similarities! :) love them

[@InsignificantNick]

I saw that on their Wikipedia page and was a bit perplexed lol

[@Irene-lf4fr]

One of the best bands ever. A little time and song for whoever are my favs

[@btj-oo8xc]

Try 'Song For Whoever'. You'll find Gary Barnacle all over the place between 1977 and 2000

[@jonathancole833]

I was listening to Song For Whoever just yesterday! Their first hit.

I'm also glad you finally got around to The Beautiful South, one of my favourite bands. I don't know how to describe Brianna's incredible voice either but I love it. She was later replaced with Jacqui Abbot, another incredible singer who is still producing incredible tracks and albums in partnership with Paul Heaton. "Heatongrad" by the pair of them is one of my top albums of the past 10 years. Too many great songs from the Beautiful South making it hard to decide what to recommend to you. "A Little Time", "I'll Sail This Ship Alone", "Good as Gold (Stupid as Mud)", "We'll Deal With You Later" and "Don't Marry Her" is as short a list as I can manage Nick, sorry!

[@davidwoolbright3675]

I absolutely love The Beautiful South You must do 36D. One of my favorite songs period!!

[@1011moz]

Love that you've found The Beautiful South. So, so many cracking songs. I hope you do more of them.

[@runningsuperska]

Lovely stuff. The Beautiful South are ace.

[@FernandoGarcia-ge6mp]

Great song and band choice!! More The Beautiful South please!

[@ManxAndy]

Most excellent track…..very talent individuals, a massive back catalogue of superb tracks 👍🇮🇲👌

[@jerkyd499]

Grew up with this thanks for sharing! You are awesome friend

[@InsignificantNick]

Well, you're awesome, too!

[@danielgreenwood1459]

Love the beautiful south... Huge back in the day...old red eyes is back.. Is superb 👍 👍

Old Red Eyes Have Fun Woman In The Wall A Little Time

[@samcass7621]

A band from my area, hull england ! Paul sounds similar to morrissey in some songs

[@neilmccarthy5102]

The Beautiful South were a great band… always ironic in their delivery. This one reminds me in a way of how non-brits stating that 🇬🇧 are suppressed and won’t talk about stuff… with Paul answering for the brits WHY we won’t, ha ha. Always poking fun at both sides. Should try ‘A little time’ , ‘Ol’ red eyes’ , ‘Sail this Ship’ … to name but a few’!

[@ste.6026]

Great stuff, Paul Heaton is so underrated, good job....

[@InsignificantNick]

He really is underrated! Great voice and sharp lyrics.

[@youtpfpm6097]

Beautiful South. I remember "Song for whoever". Beautiful and far to go south.😊

[@jonathancole833]

I think you should make 'Song for Whoever' your next Beautiful South reaction, Nick! There's even a penguin in that song's video, too!

[@colindonald3161]

Had forgot how good this is, they had a lot of quality stuff 👍

[@misterstubbs1611]

Gary Barnacle is a legend.

[@samcass7621]

A song for whoever and caravan of love are really good songs by these aswell

[@jonathancole833]

Although to be fair, Caravan Of Love was a Housemartins' cover of (I think) an Isley Brothers track.

[@stealthy7]

Commented b4 on your channel.....this band, you should do 'Straight in at 37' - it`s right up ur street. Check it out.

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

Women want guys to express their emotions until they actually do. That's the main theme I take from this song

[@markgreen7378]

Always thought the Beautiful South were a bit hit and miss compared to the Housemartins, really liked the track 'Blackbird on a Wire'
