Jamie t - a new england

[@Szaam]

This reminds me of my first year of uni. I commuted there and had a really fucking lonely existence. I used to listen to this all the time, while I was walking from the car park to lectures and while I was driving on the motorway. I had a courtesy car for a while because I smashed up my first car, and I could use an aux lead in my courtesy car so I used to play this through my iPod. You might think that this comment was bullshit, but I enjoyed sharing this.

[@josephhayes6906]

Fucking ace

[@jordierae2694]

This bloke is a legend... No other sound like him.. Proud to be British

[@MrProjectmayhem]

The most under rated artist in history - FACT!

[@onthewalkoffame]

Seriously. Everything this man touches is gold.

[@planetjanine]

I can relate to this song so much. I love the emotion in his voice when he sings. :D I can't wait to see him when he comes to Toronto although I don't know when that will be. :(

[@lol732]

Excellent!! Billy Bragg or Jamie T or ( dear) KIRSTY MACCOLL ( RIP) A great song!!!

[@KristinKaravasilou]

I love both the Jamie and Kirsty versions. I only heard the song when I went to England for a university semester for 3 months in 2009. But they remind me of that happy time! I only heard the original recently. Poor Kirsty, she died saving her sons ❤

[@jackdanial6981]

if billy bragg did a concert suported by frank turner and jamie t it be the best thing ever

[@ntleaver29]

I'd go 👍

[@bowles123]

great cover

[@aliray0777]

I wish you'd tour again J!!

[@roddypampa3906]

first time I heard it was in 2009... good times, good memories.. it remembers me an old girlfriend that passed away.

[@hassana91]

This is amazing. I love how Jamie varies his songs depending on his mood/current musical tastes and he isn't afraid to show it by putting the different styles on albums/EPs instead of just keeping them away in a chest somewhere incase they're not "accepted" maybe not so much this one most of his B side stuff haha.

[@HH-ox6sh]

oh good. (: coz they rock my socks. love their style... xx

[@jodb5595]

love it :D

[@miniman7361]

[@weirdandthensome]

Smashing cover

[@CSweeney94]

I love this cover sooooo much! Never thought anyone could come close to billy brags version but this is amazing.

[@adsimal]

[@bekkiclarke3759]

Banging

[@dowdow1237]

[@thatsnotmyname69]

[@CousinHarold101]

Fucking dope. Love this song. Cheers

[@linkinsalez]

jamie-t ft lilly allen classic mate ;) rawhide

[@tommyholmes1986]

Jamie is the one! Fucking love him... "Liquid shit!"

[@elmoelmslie2]

I think nearly anyone could sing this song and it would sound great, such is the quality of the lyrics.

[@markcchallinor]

Just fantastic. Bragg, by JT!!!

[@gusbus12345678]

fucking love it!

[@anikiontour]

Jamie T loves me. ;)

[@pezer1371]

doubt it mate

[@GeekLikeYou]

Stripped down aceness

[@CallMeMiniYou]

@Szaam Was interesting. About to go Uni, what was so bad about it?

[@GroundhogOZ]

Billy Bragg ...

[@unoidontspeakspanish]

Does that just get the videos tho?Or can u get it just as audio?

[@tazzy27581]

@luckystrike1 You realise he didn't write this song, he is just doing a great take on a classic Billy Bragg song.

[@CabbagePatchFace]

This is a good cover but Billy Braggs is still the best!

[@writtleminors]

to download? i cud sent it to you if you want?

[@unoidontspeakspanish]

K thanks :)

[@iloveken222]

this cover is actually fairly similar to billy's ogirinal in that it's pretty simple musically, and he's singing totally in his own voice. i actually quite like it (:

[@anthonyfell77]

Jesus this is brilliant.

[@Seafarer-Ade]

all those who voted down, are you seriously saying you think this is good?? go listen to Billy Braggs views on this!!! (the man who wrote the tune)

[@jozzman]

Yes i am an avid fan of the libertines absolute CLASS BAND. Billy Bragg is good as well, writes sum fucking classics

[@МаксимМаксим-к9я]

South Fields rules!)

[@niall-ne2eg]

👍👍👍👍

[@stoneageman18]

Any recommendations for Artists similar to Jamie T? Been looking for ages, nothing with that Cockney slang (other than Kate Nash)..

[@Jake-ll4im]

stoneageman18 I think king krule is similar

[@funkinaroundtheblock]

fucking wicked

[@HH-ox6sh]

am i the only one who has the king blues version on their ipod?? xx

[@IAINoodle]

sorry to inform you, there's no such place as 'englang' X D i do love this version

[@johnmusketeer]

billy bragg new englang

[@redshift3345]

Wrong to wish on space hardware... #Lyrics #Bars

[@skitzey]

lol at the spelling of serious in this

[@blades92]

@joesufc The king blues version is incredible! :) And i hope SUFC stands for them ighty Sheffield united! ;)

[@writtleminors]

yeah sure you wana message me your msn or summin?

[@JoshLucas247]

@elwoodmcr This isn't awful this is art! You clearly dont know what real music sounds like.

[@Seafarer-Ade]

but jamie t is corporate thats the whole point!!! you think he's not but he is!

[@largie83]

@thatsnotmyname69 Ive met him twcie and had a few beers with him on one occassion, he loves a little drinking session. Hed probably be up for it!!

[@jamiefraser6156]

largie83 I

[@Eetjuh19]

Hmm, not one of the best versions of this song i think. Although i love Jamie T ! It's just too fast and too quiet in my opinion..

[@sptfgpn]

It would be nice if he got together with Kate Nash.

[@writtleminors]

yeah erm..how you want me to? only thing i can think of is msn or summin..upto you msge me

[@joesufc]

no, Southend United!

[@jozzman]

who is billy! BILLY BRAGG check him out he's worlds ahead of jamie..

[@siomusicchannel]

@treeformlol hehehe. you make jamie sound as if hes some twelve year old that is trying to make it big on youtube. jamies a pretty well known figure in the indie scene at the moment, two albums in to his career. and i would say its better than braggs, but then that is just up to personal opinion i guess

[@tobyn123]

he didnt write this.

[@michaelheath3609]

Its a Kirsty MacColl song...

[@markbaker749]

No it's not Kirsty McCall. Billy bragg wrote it

[@markbaker749]

Michael Heath it's a Billy bragg song. I urge you to listen to the original. It's the best version

[@89cheapmonday]

should be able to work it out easy, it's only root notes innit!?

[@treeformlol]

I admire your bravery for putting this online. I will simply state that I prefer Braggs original massively and this is not particularly good in my eyes.

[@inhaltslostv3368]

u glt talent bro

[@thebadweekend]

why dont you try working it out yourself? godddd

[@abicadabrax]

eee i well prefer billy bragg's version, i don't think this one is very good tbh

[@MisterPeeeee]

he hasnt a good voice... maybe its just his accent which made him popular

[@Seafarer-Ade]

Shockingly bad!!!

[@Hate2H4te]

jolly m8 it aint a cover x

[@treeformlol]

@M45TERPiiC3 I can safely say that this is worse than Bragg's original, considering Bragg cannot sing thats a particular feat. Its too quiet, too fast and the guitar is sub-par. It makes me miss auto-tune. And I aint some troll or a Bragg fanatic, I saw someone recommend this crap earlier.

[@mrwabbit9576]

it's supposed to sound rough

[@demoneIephant]

Not a great cover really.. Listen to The Enemy's cover of this song

[@IanVaughanDocs]

Good shout, I just checked it out

[@joesufc]

the king blues and the enemy covers are better. this is too quiet.

[@treeformlol]

@bioshockt It may have taken me 4 months to reply but I have something very simple to say. The fact that I have decent music taste is what is making me wish this track had Auto-Tune. It is shit. He cannot sing. At all. Its not hard to understand at all. This needs autotune because Jamie T is on the same level as both Black and Beiber. You want decent acoustic music? Go listen to Frank Turner.

[@jackworthington4660]

lol imagine being filtered this bad
