Justin Currie - No, Surrender Part 1

[Battledudeify]

Not many songs are better than this ;)

[ShishakliAus]

Blows me away that this is unplugged... You sir, are a genius. A bloody ballsy genius

[n8tureboy]

@mctantrum

YES! A little grammatical irony, Huh?

[penusenvy]

He looks really hot in this vid as well as being an amazing singer/songwriter.

The irony is palpable!.....:-)

[hirebrandkg]

@jc333jc of course there is less than 1,5000,000 views theres not that many people in the world with the sense to look it up but many more times that in morons

[marcelvossen]

This is so fucking brilliant!! Both song & video are very inspiring

[henkdrie]

Incredible! text and sound integrated wow

Heard this in America on Sirius radio "THE LOFT" a fantastic show

[peapod7820]

What is this puerile preachy nonsense? fuksake!

[Danerd9]

Woo, my history teacher showed me this song for my HW!

JOHNNY LIKES TREES!

[williektf]

Love this. Great song, and also filmed in the buff club in Bath Lane in Glasgow.

[bygabor]

Class.

[Candyskin69]

One of the greatest songs ever.

[msdelamitri]

He has one fantastic voice. 

[nattythis]

so , this is the justin currie hmmm dont really like him

[n8tureboy]

Saw him live @ Mountain stage. I remember he used his Ipod for the background music on this tune...just him, an Ipod and his piano.

[stekerri]

This is the Dogs!!! loved del amitri!!

[razilla21]

WOW... Cannot find this Cd in my country... and cannot find Torrent... Help!

[elHombredeHumo]

this is amazing, isn´t he singing live in this video? i think he is one of the best singers ever.

[easter1965]

@elHombredeHumo Yeah it seems so because it goes quieter and more distant at points where his back is turned or the camera is lower than him, sounds fantastic even live though.

[jdavewilk69]

A couple of years ago Gerry Anderson played the full version on his morning Radio Foyle/ Ulster show, and I just sat dumb founded the whole way through, and I thought this is brilliant, Justin really should have wider recognition.

[spouseoflife]

@jdavewilk69 he deserves much more recognition, i agree. del amitri and justin currie are fabulous. ive been listening to them since i was born (sixteen years ago) and ive always felt that they should be more widely known.

[mikefedder]

He's got a tremendous talent of writing so good songs. he deserves a breakthough as solo artist - hope he comes to mainland europe soon :-)

[gglasgow1957]

Anyone know where this video was shot...looks like a Scottish nightclub??

[TheNelsonGonzalez]

@gglasgow1957

it was shot in a club in Glasgow called Buff. Awesome place

[mboy45]

He is from Glasgow, scotland...one of the founders of Del Amitri

[incubus1345]

where is he from, i dont know anything about this excellent musician XD

[iTzPerson]

Lawl~ that is my brothers name o.o

i cant believe i looked this up XD

[poponimpact]

Never Surrender!!! seriously though, I love the song, but I don't want people surrendering.

[hatgirl09]

ok, the way i see it is that it's not a call for people to surrender, but simply a statement made by someone who already has surrendered. kind of explaining to the world what made him surrender. the solution he found for himself to all that mess he describes is "surrender".

one of a million possible ways to look at it, i know. :)

[rallyingtcp]

Its about not surrendering to the Bull Shit of life

[poponimpact]

I know it isn't, the message is, sometimes its better to not risk it, it's not worth it, but thats not something I believe in.

[MemskiBobSki]

Amazing to think this was originally recorded in 2006, so much of whats in the lyrics is still relevant in early 2009. Excellent idea to have the vocal 'live' on the video. A brilliant closing song from an the near perfect 'What is Love For' album

[ThePrinceOfPish]

Of course the lyrics are still relevant; 2006 was only 2 and a half years ago. I've had stuff in my fridge freezer longer than that.

[dasster]

He outdid John Mayall here. A hard-hitting song, the hardest hitting I've heard in years. Last time I heard something like this was the Caifornia thing by RHCP. Beautiful poetry, very relevant, about "...god squads...blinded by divinity...car caressing mgrs..." I'm glad I don't have a car. He looks lonely without Iain Harvie though.

[hufferz]

This song seems to be more poigniant now than ever before. I will never surrender. From a northern Californian surfer, peace to all the good people of Scotland.

[joolz040770]

I'd surrender to Justin Curry any time with that voice.

[woltehen]

Brilliant Vocals and Words.

I wonder how they got the natural ambience

sound of the vocals on the video.

It sounds like he sang it again live while they were shooting, wich i doubt.

However they did it.

This is Top League!

[CheapTrick6793]

i heard he did sing it again live. the whole song in one take is impressive

[hatgirl09]

he did sing it again. if you compare this to the album version, you'll notice subtle differences. he's an ace singer. that's all there is to it. simples. ;-D

[brettdemon]

I had to post. This is my first ever post... I have to say...FINALLY...Justin is back. What a great talent

[kneesydoesit]

He looks more like Ian Kelsey (the actor) every day.

[keanajardine2]

Big Macs for the fat, lo-cal wraps for the call centre battery hens,

Japanese snacks for the choice-spoilt citizens, caviar kickbacks for the citadel denizens.

Airport shoeshines servicing the suits among the little silver stereos and hand-rolled cheroots,

First class passengers file on last after the scum are packed in with their tax-free loot.

lol thats all i was able 2 fit in :/ i just love the lyrics :D

[eddiecairns]

I just realised,thats the buff club in Glasgow, thats soo cool i wished id known Justin was filming there, would have loved to be in that video!

[JamesHeal2]

wow!,found this song earlier on AOL music it's really good!

[alyse1969]

very cool, the way the audio of justin's voice becomes louder and more distant as the camera nears or moves away from his face; sure looks and sounds like he sang this live. me likey. : )

[summerfieldmusic]

Yep, recorded on set, boom mic. ;-)

[gaynort66]

an absolute classic track: what an underated performer.Britain hang your head in shame.We have got talent..he is here!!

[paulrogers1973]

Abslute quality.
