Mike Skinner's recordings as the Streets marked the first attempt to add a degree of social commentary to Britain's party-hearty garage/2-step (and later grime) movement. Skinner was initially an outsider in the garage scene. Although his initial recordings appeared on Locked On, the premiere source for speed garage and 2-step from 1998 to the end of the millennium, he listened first to hip-hop, then house and jungle.

The Streets biggest hits include “Blinded By The Lights”, “Dry Your Eyes”, “Don’t Mug Yourself”, “Fit But You Know It”, “Let’s Push Things Forward” and “Has It Come To This”. The iconic Streets catalogue also includes the albums “Original Pirate Material”, “A Grand Don’t Come For Free”, “The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living”, “Everything Is Borrowed” and “Computers and Blues”.

Lyrics:
All these walls were never - really there
Nor the ceiling, or the chair
I'm eking weeks of peace at the beach
I see the breezes weave the trees
These walls you'll find are yours and mine
Defined not by them I
I'm in times that lie behind my eyelids
The sunset still the rising silence
I'm not full of fear cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
There's no rain on roof that grates and beats me
My favorite tree breaking light to pieces
Sprinkling, sharded light on me
Throw a stone as high as you can
And hearing with hand not hear it land
Nothing taxing dusting sand
My window world spins and twirls
The walls then fall, I recall the sort
White clouds white wash faded spotless
The weighty shadows, ranges of rocks
The cold is all illusion thought up
Stroll on the shore, snooze and explore
All possibilities in each new morning
'Til satisfied reaching out, yawning
Fish in a big dish, some rice and spice
Salt over shoulder, never salted so tight
The truth I have told was silence sometimes
But who's soul does not hide any crimes?
Wrapped in walls, encircled by work
The walls fall, the story occurs:
No barrier, no boundary or 'low us ID's
The freedom to stay or stray
Be fiend or friend cause no harm but charm
The peaceful end
I'm not full of fear cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
I'm not full of fear cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
Pale ancient woods, strew white sandy bays
This ugly room pales away today
I'm swimming in the ocean, I sink slow motion
Fingers, toes, floating
Every year 'til yesterday
I see the eternal setting sea
I compare all this to me
It's all fleeting momentary me
I blink my eyes, this is reminding me
Life lies in the blink of an eye
The old die for reasons, new tides, four seasons
New life born is like teasing
All these walls were really never there
Nor the ceiling or the chair
I'm eking weeks of peace at the beach
I see the breezes weave the trees
I am not here at all, you are dearly fooled
I see bristling trees, the shush at the sea
Mischievous, fluttering seagulls
No, I'm not trapped in a box, so I am glancing at rocks
I'm dancing off docks, since this stance began that's where I am
I'm not full of fear cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
I'm not full of fear cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
So done

My mom passed away in 2011. I specifically remember driving home from the hospice after seeing her for the last time before she got cremated. I had just bought this album, and hadn't gotten to this song yet. It's the last song on the CD. I get in the car, and this song starts playing a few minutes later. I had to pull over. I lost it. I thought of my mom as the escapist. She escaped this world, and her cancer. She was dancing off docks. I actually lost it because I had no idea I could actually see joy in her loss, but even though many people tell you "she's done suffering, she's happy", this song really drove it home for me. I wish I could personally thank him for this.

Yes bro. Business is still good but it’s no walk in the park. every day you have to show up and push towards a result for which few have the perseverance. Intellectual skills at the end of the day are important, but having a mentality of no surrender, no self pity, no excuses, is worth much much more. I was a poor student and realised I could only learn on the job. It took 10 years of helpdesk jobs to slowly gain experience, domain and some business knowledge before suddenly a gate opened and someone finally saw the growth and gave me a chance to learn on the job how software is developed. It’s not only coders clearly. now i design backend services. Money is a motivation but not the biggest one. Doing a perfect job or close to it, seeing progress and results again and again with different clients is a greater reward for all the hard work. And of course driving home at night with some go getter music on, knowing you’ll get paid something relatively ridiculous certainly doesn’t feel too bad. If you want to learn something, even when you don’t know the specifics or if it’s not yet within reach, you can still start and try, and fail and fail until you don’t fail and realise you made yourself proud.

I feel kinda lucky to have discovered him in 2001. Mike's music has threaded through most of my adult life. Think I first heard "Has It Come To This" as I was putting together a playlist for my 21st, early November 2001. I was lucky to have friends who were really connected to the UK garage scene, and helped me expand my horizons. I am almost certain I met Mike in Australia in the late 90s, but then didn't know about his music. The belief in my mind is that it was him, or somehow another geezer with the same poetry, insight and deep interest in looking out for people. When I first heard The Streets I thought of that guy with the lyrical magic, who was always following the good underground music, that looked out for us unruly alternative teenagers who didn't know etiquette. Unassuming and genuine. I want to believe that if it wasn't the same guy, it was another Mike who walked the same Streets as both me and this legend.

This song is more than music. It's a poetic thing about life moving on, time does too. It's almost Mike post the early albums after all his hardships and grand come for free, it's like a story character at the end of their journey. And in a strange way he tells is so beautifully because it reflects real life. At some point we all grow up and when we go on holiday you kinda get the opportunity to just think to yourself "damn. Here I am now." Like your stuck in a moment of nostalgia and past even though you're not there anymore. Really moving song.

Mike you’ve brought so many of us back from the brink, helped us push forward through your art and for that we thank you. The break ups, suicide attempts, addiction and family loss in my life has been supported over two decades through your music. I can see many here will agree that you are truly one of the greatest artists of our generation and for those beyond. Much love from Bradford, UK

When i was 12 i heard this on polish music stations and I still remember how many emotions i fell from this song. I just played like everyday in The Gateway: Black Monday and Gran Turismo 4 with my friend after school. Thanks for everything. Now I'm 25 and I can understand much more.
