2021 and The Lightning Seeds still sound fresh. Broudie's superb lyrics and unmistakable sound. Every single they did was a gem. Criminally underrated band.

[@andrewhawkes7352]

Mid 90s..... dreaming of what might be.......now almost 50 I'm so glad I had this in my life .....🙏❤️

[@singIeservingfriend]

Broudie - such an underrated songwriter, he made some of the best pop music of the 90s

[@AndrewBower-zf7bj]

Pure britpop Miss the 90s

[@malena2467]

Everything is PERFECT with "The Lightning Seeds".

[@tpsyturvy6987]

I first heard them on the radio in Georgia,USA in 1992...it was life of Riley...been hooked since then..they are classy!

[@sarawoods9838]

This was incredible live last night ! Great show ! 👏

[@the80s61]

"Lucky you" seen them live 😊

[@juliep4319]

What a tune… what a band! Jollification is a fantastic album with each track being top drawer.. Love Ian B and his band.

[@JimmyTheMower]

real indie music frm the good old days. Pure class

[@CaptainEshara]

i found my lightning seeds tape in the garage, haven't heard it in what must be nearly 25 years, came back to this song and found i could sing it straight off the bat.. was lucky to see them live at the royal court liverpool oh so many years ago

[@miguelangelmejialaveriano3904]

Que bonita historia de ud... Yo tambien lo disfruté cuando en Perú aún teníamos Disco LP...tuve la oportunidad de tener sus cassettes...y también tuve la oportunidad de ser DJ en Radio de mi Ciudad... SAYÁN Lima PERÚ... Radio TRIPLE AAA

[@danielshankland6326]

The most underrated song in history

[@whenyoulookintoit9356]

He played this song on acoustic guitar at my great gran's funeral, he just randomly showed up and said she was that good of a shag that he had to do something special. Love you granny.

[@gregoreisenhorn5093]

Your nan too? God damn it, I truly thought my nan was special.

[@oskeymccaffrey4667]

One of the best songs with amazing chord progressions..

[@thecakecadet8450]

We were spoilt rotten in the 90s 😁😁

[@surebrec5113]

and looking back with the benefit of hindsight, with all the shit that's infesting the industry now, we could never truly know how much so.

[@oakashthorn5714]

It’s shows what the British are capable of when we’re just left to it….

[@xxvikkiixxrowe1806]

I'm kinda pleased the lighting seeds stayed in the 90s there to good for today

[@salvadorparadiso7846]

Take's me straight back to my childhood and the excitement of Englands presence in France during the 98 world cup, and of course the pure misery of being knocked out...

[@miaostar2311]

This is my happy song. My dad gave me the album when I first firmly CD player and I liked if coz of the strawberrys but I love this song x

[@DJSEVERENC3]

lightening seeds so underrated every song is just joy and perfection these the manic street preachers being as im welsh and stereophonics the old stuff the jewels of british music

One of the greatest songs ever by a British group. Modern day music is crap. Glad I was a teenager in the 90's

Glenn Burrows I am a teenager now but I still agree with you. Except Ed Sheeran.

[@billyunterbuchner9197]

shut up glenn. You just really loved it that day, good for you, get over it.

[@jane1975]

Glenn Burrows : Yeah, we had some great music in both the 80’s and 90’s, todays music is crap. My sister and I are shocked that we are now relegated to BBC Radio 2 ( or Magic FM on DAB ) as it’s the only station that’s not playing this auto tuned garbage.

[@moviee5]

Perfect song, perfect lines, perfect music, in a perfect time.

[@robjackson1319]

Underrated band. Ian is a genius.

[@louishayes7405]

Definitely my fave LS track, followed by imaginary friends and life’s too short. Possibly my fave song ever! Love it!

[@MrAndrewr81]

First ever song I heard by the lightning seeds that got me to buy their jollification album and since then loved all their tracks, fantastic band.

[@Ronexdel]

finally found you. listening in 2017. loved this way back in the 90's

[@Classic_Re-creation]

This songs a classic. 90,s pop rock era was the best, some of the biggest bands ever came out of the 90s. reminds me of my happy childhood.

[@freeworld467]

How more people haven't heard of these is beyond me

[@tpsyturvy6987]

I love their Synth work!!!

[@motiontracker5395]

There's something quintessentially English about the Lightning Seeds sound... such a great, feel good band that seem to encapsulate the perceived buzz in the UK that people look back on now as Brit Pop etc. Love it

[@michaelbrassington7549]

best lightning seeds tune for me. I searched for this because I had a flashback

[@robperrins3945]

Always liked them.Then they performed at Rochdale feelgood festival and now I love them.Brilliant band.

[@paulsmith2920]

Top album, and was given it as a present on cassette when it came out. Then found it yesterday in Cex for 20p on CD 😎.

[@symonwhite719]

IMO The Lightning Seeds best song.

[@deborahhunter8431]

This song is sooooo underrated. Imo it is one of the best, if not the best song of the 90’s❤️

[@sratus]

ah come on now

[@victorrodriguez5765]

Perfect !!! ...................................... a hug inmense from Peru ❤❤❤❤❤🌹💋😎✔...

[@oscardarrell]

I swear it this song is so perfect..

[@anngulliver5964]

My favourite song of theirs. Great surreal dream-like music video as well.

[@perrygogas]

See the rivers filled with rain I wish it could be blue again Hazy petrol nights Crimson sun on traffic lights A perfect day a perfect night Tell me all those perfect lies And lie back in the garden 'till it's light Streets get full up every night With people buzzing round the lights And waving at the taxis driving by Now tomorrow's here today And yesterday's today's just fade away Watch the morning chase the night Rolling home, it's getting light Feeling sleepy, full of wine Fall in bed, just in time The perfect stare of perfect eyes That kiss you as they tell you lies And wonder where you're going, where've you been In towers high with time to fill Gardens on your window sill In between the pavement and the sky Now tomorrow's here today And yesterday's today's just fade away Tell me why all the words will never come out right Fumbling blind, I've been driving through the danger signs A perfect day a perfect night Tell me all those perfect lies And lie back in the garden 'till it's light

[@fehysia]

Look everyone is so pretty and cool but I wish she my best friend

[@niteowlx5178]

Man this takes me back, my brother used to listen to this band alot and Oasis, music has gone to hell since the mid 2000's, 70's-90's was the best eras for music

[@bobthegrinch]

In other words you've reached the stage in life that every generation does where you think the stuff you have nostalgia for is superior to everything being made today, even though there's loads of great music being made that you can't be arsed to find.

[@mediumbetsypalmer808]

When this song came on I thought, "Oh, Oasis stole their sound...." & then I see your comment

[@niteowlx5178]

@@mediumbetsypalmer808 well that's all my brother listened to along with Radiohead, Green Day and Alkaline Trio

[@billyboycinci]

There's plenty of good music from every era. I was born in 1973. I'm very much a child of the 80s. That music will always be my go-to.but, there's still good music being made today. There's plenty of older music that is great. Phil Spector and his wall of sound and girl bands can hold their own against anything from any time!

[@ZER0--]

Beautiful pop ! before you slag it off write just one song equal to this, and than do a whole album.

[@janinealexander6132]

My favourite 90s band. I love the Lightning Seeds 🍓❤️

[@maxjones503]

It always seemed strange when people spend ages looking for a song, this one took me a while though. I used to listen to it loads when I was like 5 so I couldn't remember much. The only connection I could recall was traffic lights in the lyrics, I was also convinced it was from a completely different group but couldn't find it after hours. Now, a couple weeks later I just happened to remember another part of the song and found it in a couple minutes, satisfying feeling.

[@martinlannister797]

For me, I heard this first years and years ago. The chorus really brings home the fast passage of time.

[@anngulliver5964]

Surrealism is my favourite art movement so I like this music video ❤

Just been to see The Lightning Seeds in London this evening, playing to a packed house of enthusiastic fans, on their feet for most of the songs, dancing and singing along to every word. It was the happiest atmosphere of any gig I’ve been to - so although he may not have got recognition as wide as he deserved, he’s certainly appreciated by a sizeable fan base. :)

[@mike18699-e]
