This intro will All ways put a lump in my throat berried my uncle to this song thank you for this song

[@andrewduncan66]

in my opinion best band of the 90's, no attitude, no bickering, just played for the fans, and still to this day, legends.

[@ManCave1972]

The best song on the album, from the most underrated band of its time.

[@ianmcilwraith4479]

Just love that intro. Probably the band I've seen the most from 1990 to last year at the Barras. They never disappoint 😊

[@1292liam]

Reflective, melancholy ..yet full on. The Charlatans at their peak

[@mattmunro210]

This is close to perfect, I could listen to it all day

[@JulieTravis-lp9cy]

I do ❤

[@thehannahbreakfasful]

First time I've ever heard this song. Can already tell it will be in my top 10. Absolutely stunning.

[@Sir_Ejik]

I second that!

[@celestewilliams5904]

This is what we need to hear...to keep the baton going, from era to era...❤️

[@philhewitt73]

This absolutely does it for me. One of the best songs by any band anywhere. So underrated the charlatans are.✌✌✌

[@margarettumosas1735]

There's no doubt about it the most underated band of their time if not all tiime

[@jackofshadows8538]

[@JoeyConverse85]

The Charlatans and Ocean Colour Scene the two most criminally underrated bands of their era especially when you consider the bands that were the “success stories” from that time.....,what a tune 👍🙌👏

Bang on mate

[@alfawcett398]

Yeh - you’re right mate!

[@kevdavison8058]

I concur

[@bid84]

Used to be a big OCS fan but they haven’t done a good album in the last 20 years. Also they haven’t been arsed to put out an album in the last 9 years. But they still tour every year playing the same set. Lazy bastids.

[@donlogan666]

Real music in the 90's. Look at what they have done. All plasic pop mundane shit. Not gunna mention names ellie goulding adele ed sheeran etc.

[@z00ts00t77]

Nothing wrong with Ed Sheran or Adele, pretty sure they are both making 'real music', they are hardly manufactured artists.

[@donlogan666]

corporate products.

[@z00ts00t77]

I'm pretty sure that both Adele and Ed Sheeran are enjoying making the music they want to make, writing their own songs, headlining major festivals around the world, having critically acclaimed best selling albums, and racking up serious piles of money to boot. If you want to call them corporate sellouts because it makes you feel better about your taste in music and the bands that you like then go ahead and knock yourself out. But I'm pretty sure that the Charlatans were signed to Universal at one point, one of the biggest major labels out there (not to mention Island Records as well).

[@leesaunders1930]

@@z00ts00t77 you will never find this energy or meaning for the common english man especially not from ed sheeran or Adele etc. I agree with the guy music has taken a nosedive these days, a bunch of pussy whining whinneys singing along to sub standard chart music of today. if only they knew what they missed lol in fact no dont let them know at all, let's keep them away from the charlatans because who knows what might happen next. Ed sheeran might release a remix of THE ONLY ONE I KNOW. heaven forbid 🤮🤮🤮

Brilliant tune, they really hit their stride and found their own identity on this album, away from the demise of "baggy" and the anyone-can-famous cul-de-sac of Britpop...never underrated to my ears I know these boys' ear for melodies and riffs were massively influential to the next generation that followed...shame they cant hold a candle to The Charlatans

[@garthmcbond3993]

Great song this I probably listen to it at least once a week.

This song was fantastic the other week at The Piece hall in Halifax, looking forward to seeing it played at Newcastle City hall in November.

I remember reading Tim say in the 90s when I was banging out Us And Us Only every day that "We'll always only ever be everyone's second favourite band" Well some of their songs were up there with what anyone else was doing at the time. I got his point though. Good band man!
