The Coral - Bill McCai

[@oasis903s]

Most underrated band of the past 20 years (Doves are up there too)

[@kostasmad1431]

Idlewild are far more underatted...

[@louiejonesponation]

Doves are severely underrated

I remember always watching the skate video New Blood and absolutely loved John Rattrays part back when i was just a young kid. Love this song because of Johns part. Living care free, skating with my best buds, if I could only be that boy again.

[@jo18533]

[@claire1506]

One of my favourite songs, one of my favourite videos! So much talent! Long live The Coral ❤

[@grsny]

Can't remember my high school era without this song. Greetings from Mexico!

[@todareistodomyfoot8403]

I'm amazed with the amount of mexican fans that comment on the Corals videos, they must love that folk, country cowboy, rockabilly, hill billy pirate music mix.

[@horobut_baska]

Почему же эта замечательная группа не так популярна? Что с этим миром?😢

[@John-hn4xs]

They never sold there souls

[@todareistodomyfoot8403]

@@John-hn4xs I hope not, such an amazing band but for the majority of their career they remained low key. They were never marketed properly most likely because they were seen as a retro band. Still the best band since the Beatles for me, their albums are amazing, all 200 of them lol.

[@todareistodomyfoot8403]

Stomping rockabilly, hillbilly and whatever other billy you want to throw in there lol. Loving it.

Funny (to me at least) story about this song. I took the album to Africa and listened to it non stop for the 3 months I was there. When I got home I found out I had malaria and ended up delirious with a fever and I couldn't get this song out of my head. It rattled around my head for 2 weeks straight as the quinine killed the malaria and I couldn't listen to it for years. 10 years to be exact. This song made come out in cold sweats. On a lighter note, I can now listen to it quite happily with fond memories of canoeing down African rivers stoned on local grass (wasn't great so had to smoke shit loads) with this album floating over the water to tribes that hadn't seen white people before. Good first impression as they go.

[@Samboy666]

Amazing story. I love youtube for this exsct reason. Rock on man rock on

[@sharkbite5744]

Bodie & Doyle The Professionals mad I was dealing keys of cocaine smoking 7 grams a day lost my dad lost the plot almost died then got arrested with 20 members of the gang all went to prison for a while, all while bingeing to this album, different life’s. Kinda wish I had your experience rather than mine, but without the malaria.

[@fooman65]

I too was laid up in an African village years ago after getting lost looking for McKenna's gold with a bunch of charity worker missionaries from Giggleswick in Yorkshire ...I too caught malaria and was getting treated by some tribesmen who up until then had never seen a white man either.....i remember hearing Pass It On drifting up the valley one day and thought the fever had really kicked in....now it all makes sense....never found out what happened to the Giggleswick missionaries though????

[@martintube24]

This comment section is pure gold. "This is UK heritage!"

[@paulspringer4724]

... love all those guitars playing different parts together. Such a great sound and an excellent single.

[@contesketchup2981]

The Coral are brilliant and the video is so funny at the end there. They trained the tour bouncer to play in the band to help out after Bill left. He's a proper comedian just like the rest of the boys.

[@sumeyyeerdemir8156]

Lyrics: His family taught him right from wrong With local tales and children's songs Sunday school was his shelter With his friends Joe and Walter Now those days seem far away An empty swing where he once played Now Bill's grown so fat and bald He never thought that he'd grow old And every day when he gets the train Looks out the window and thinks in vain If only I could be that boy again His sales job gets him down Same old faces same old sounds Heart attacks, orthopedic backs Documents in labeled racks His wife can't stand the sight of him With his routine glass of gin She makes his lunch of processed ham And waits in for the meter man And every day when he gets the train Looks out the window and thinks in vain If only I could be that boy again If only he could be that boy again Another day another gin His kids don't even notice him Something different about his face His happy smile seems out of place His family gathered around for tea Eyes fixed on their new telly Newsflash came, then it saidâ?¦ Bill McCai was just found dead No more windows, no more trains Hung himself out in the rain Now he'll never be that boy again And we say by-bye Bill McCai :))

Depends what're sharing really. The more energetic songs seem to start in a most ethereal place then they've got you. They manipulate the atmosphere. Good to see them on their own tour. You want this 👊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/naXTY3msl7xpgdE&app=desktop
