Richard Hawley - Tonight The Streets Are Ours

Richard Hawley - Tonight The Streets Are Ours
Live performance on Later With Jools Holland

[@firefighterno1]

Richard Hawley... what Morrisey wants to be, what a thousand Indie bands strive to be... Hawley is what makes British music unique and amazing....

[@billybudd8085]

He auditioned for Morrissey back in 1991 for the Kill Uncle tour.

[@written12]

No need to belittle Morrissey in order to praise Hawley’s great talent. Richard’s songcraft owes a debt to Morrissey, the Smiths, which is not to suggest he isn’t original, a product of all kinds of stellar influences.

[@billybudd8085]

@@written12 I'm not belittling anyone.They are all really talented.

[@billybudd8085]

Cool bro

[@JohnBoyle-er2kk]

Both great acts room for both in the music business 😊

[@nateanata]

“The lights in our hearts tell no lies.” One of the truest, most beautiful lines of popular music ever written.

[@arvindbamhi7271]

True

[@zinoidaearnshaw4913]

So true x

[@anstonian]

I've met him a few times and shared a pint and chat. A great guy. A Sheffield lad like me.

[@DrazenMlinarevic]

Props to Banksy for introducing us to this great song, and this great musician. Yet another thing we've to thank him for.

[@dean3594]

The same Wanksy whose falling apart picture went from 1m to 16m. Capitalism at its best.

[@jeffjeff22]

Played at my wedding. Beautiful.

[@stewartmiley]

Was thinking I would do the same if I got married!

[@yasminx16]

I want this to be my first dance!

[@Podcast-Clipz324]

Well are you guys still together?

[@moodyblues108]

Rode my scooter around Baltimore and played this song on an endless loop. I love it.

[@stuartkennedy4010]

I would never know this song if it weren't for Banksy. Cheers

[@jesusmontana2448]

Stuart Kennedy right

[@fakeplastictryst]

yeah me too!

[@robcairns844]

And the Banksy tribute on the Simpsons . Richard knew it was coming on but his kids didn't. Instant respect from his offspring compared to Banksy film which was met by Meh.

[@dean3594]

F**k Banksy Some Bourgeois twat just made £14m off one of his pieces of shit. FUCKED UP WORLD

[@thecinematicmind]

One of my all time favourite songs. TOP 10.

[@mr.introvert4834]

Give me that top 10 song... because I wanna listen more good English songs ...

[@SANDSCORCHER]

Good grief this is still so utterly flawlessly beautiful.

[@sngbrd]

Wow. This version is outstanding, what a brilliant performance. Have been a Richard Hawley fan ever since hearing Baby You’re My Light on the radio many moons ago and being totally entranced by it (still am), but this song is probably my absolute favourite of his; it’s one of my favourite songs full-stop. This performance just takes it to another level again, what a gorgeous sound.

[@trevormoore439]

Richard Hawley you're a genius fantastic songs fantastic songwriter.

[@johannesschubert6110]

One of the greatest voices in modern music.

[@lisaduggan7911]

Now that's what I call music...Beautiful song beautifully done. I loved it

[@user-ts3lq8hv8t]

more songs and artists like this please, I have been listening to Hawley for about eight years now, still couldn't find anyone like him

[@andybunyan649]

Put me on a deserted island with nothing but music by Richard Hawley and Neil Hannon and a means to listen to them and I will go on to an eventual emaciated but entirely musically fulfilled end.

[@Namaste2u2032]

Excellent song, it feels like the song was written for the current times we are living in.

[@johnjeffrey5432]

Beautiful song, beautifully structured, beautifully sung. Class.x

[@BenHarrisProductions]

This is the sort of music that deserve's to be played perpetually over the radio and TV advert's

[@easystar123]

This song for whatever reason takes me back to the 1980s. Its got that 80s sound. Fantastic Track. LOVE IT

[@naturkind2886]

Dieser Song versetzt jeden in eine längst vergangene Zeit, ich liebe die Musik von Richard Hawley, könnte diese den ganzen Tag hindurch hören. Gedanklich gehe ich zurück in jene Zeit als Roy Orbison ua. Musik gemacht haben auch wenn, ich damals noch gar nicht auf der Welt war.

[@desun7392]

The Sheffield culture produces this lyrical genius and others, arctics,pulp, etc!

[@2421953]

Isn't he just the best? I do hope he wins the Brit award this year, he so deserves it.

[@martinquarton184]

Super song from a great record. Fabulous live.

[@simazar]

What a performer, what a songwriter

[@olderthanelvis]

I'm in love with this song. It's the memories of all the records I've ever loved.

Do you know why you got feelings in your heart' Don't let fear of feeling fool you What you see sets you apart And there's nothing here to bind you It's no way for life to start Do you know that tonight the streets are ours' Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies Those people they got nothing in their souls And they make our TVs blind us From our vision and our goals Oh, the trigger of time it tricks you So you have no way to grow But do you know that tonight the streets are ours' Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies And no one else can haunt me The way that you can haunt me I need to know you want me I couldn't be without you And the light that shines around you No nothing ever mattered more than not doubting That tonight the streets are ours Do you know how to kill loneliness at last' Oh, there's so much there to heal dear And make tear stains of the past But do you know that tonight the streets are ours' Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our street are ours Tonight the streets are ours These lights in our hearts they tell no lies
