i'm so glad i once bought this album back in 2000 when i was 5 years old, because of the cool robots on the cover. best random thing i ever did! (yes im 17)
I remember the first time I heard this..the late Gerry Ryan played it+raved about it capturing the essence of summer at that age.And he was rite!Wouldn't it be nice to be young,in love,casual girlfriends,music,life stretched out ahead of u,seemingly endless summers?Not stuck with a job..if ur ''lucky'' or unemployed now,with a wife,mortgage,predicatable sex,shit weather listening to 60 fukn cent,or whatever hes called.Shakes a fist at the youth of today.
1996......heading to galway with my gorgeous girlfriend in early june, sun shinning....a week on lough corrib,us young, full of life, feeling the impulses of youth..... this song on the radio, seemed like it was playing every second of the day..how could i not fall in love? young, carefree, gorgeous young girlfriend-the world was ours... - a week later she dropped me like a hot snot......bitch!!!!
@wheyman1 i know what you mean. you're nearly in tears over that girl you never met, the summer nights you never loved her on.... damn it, i miss the 90s...
the 90s ...bestest time in music history with the bestest bands around@ Suede,Menswear, Geneva, Ocean Colour Scene,Catatonia, Symposium,Teenage fan club and oh Yeah Ash!.....
The 90's weren't bad at all, not as good as the 70's or 80's but there were some real gems from the 90's and some very good indie bands. The 00's was a completely wasted decade and the following will be too i fear.
@booopdooop If you honestly don't like at least 5 songs from a decade of music then you clearly don't like music. I MEAN COME ON! I don't know your music taste, but it must be extremely small if you can't find 5 songs you like.
@ashlyy0 I love music, from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, most genres so my tastes are broad. I own hundreds of CDs and thousands of MP3 albums/singles so you're clearly wrong. I've absolutely nothing in my collection from the 00's, there's nothing worthy enough to grace my collection from that era. If you've anything to recommend then I'm all ears. Please, no Kylie or boy bands.
@booopdooop Radiohead's "Kid A" and "In Rainbows". Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood to the Head" and "X&Y". Some good albums in the '00's. But I agree, the popular in Rock 'N Roll is dead.
takes me back to being like 13 again, in belfast in my mates house, how this song still sums up so many summers......love ash, timeless, live on girl from 'ards'

00's music arn't bad but the real music died when the boy bands took over the scene.
I can name some bands that still make good music like Muse, Temper Trap, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay.
Powderfinger, Silverchair, Soundgarden, Ben Folds, Garbage etc. They are good 90's example.

@thebizkid84 Glad you agree, there were some okay albums in 00's but nothing amazing, nothing stand out spectacular.
KID A wasn't bad, not a patch on OK COMPUTER tho, that was stunning!
