This track can only b described as epic! Have seen them do it live so much n it never stops twisting my heart. The post bout the young guy who passed away made me weep! A wonderful life lost... B proud of his memory xx
If only our family and friends knew just how real the lyrics of this song would become for us. This was a favourite of our bro Aaron, 2 weeks after he played this song for us to listen too he passed away at the age of 28. R.I.P BRO!!!!!!!!!!
como sellama esta banda la busco como arrecife en google y no me aparece nada mas ke los corales =P...disculpen mi ignorancia espero su crita contructiva .....ok
if we could all just use the opening line to this song as our own personal belief system can you imagine what we might achieve as a species. Screw religion fuck politics lets just think n feel do what you know is right i dare You.
Is feeling a whole lot of love coming from the youtube community in relation to peoples problems. I don't care if I get slated for saying this, but seeing people come together with complete strangers to try and help each other will always make me smile :)
If anything can lift u it's this faultlessly beautiful track... Music can change any crap whether physical , emotional etc into something worth smiling about... I know ... I've tested it!!! Try SuckMy Kiss the Chillies....
@woodstock2204 I saw your tattoo on Tumblr and I am having the worse day of my Life so based on what you described, I’m trying to see if this one saves my Life.
@TheBubblemouth same here....weird. i needed some uplifting too. its gonna be alright, just hang in there. if you are at your LOWEST LOW, you can only get higher and higher, right ?? things will get better ;)
@woodstock2204 That seriously brought a tear to my eye. This song has amazing powers to it. I used to listen to Glow(well hell I still do) a LOT when I was a teenager and going through some rife shit. The whole CD made me feel better, but this song especially...it just feels like its meant for just you when you hear it. It's intimate..and Gary's voice on it...it's otherworldly. I'm glad this song means so much to others too.
@luke200202 Yeah it wasn't very well advertised =/. But check google, or Ticketmaster and their gigs and reunion news should come up. Hopefully I'll make the glasgow one =)
@stevieontour see, in my world, the phrase is "I don't think that kindness is a weakness, I don't have a problem with compassion." Quite clearly, the album version is better! :D
i googled 'I don't think that kindness is a weakness' and got to a blog which told me it was by reef, then back to youtube and here we are...been enjoying Mellow too. cool.
Prog? Its straight up surf rock! I do think if they wanted to stay popular they had to evolve though, go blues or prog, something different. They didn't, and therefore their popularity fell away. Awesome live, though. Saw them 3 times, each time was great.
Wow btw Unity! It would be rude of a man to ask your age back then ;)
Oh and if we're namedropping Levis Jeans could I ask for the respect of everyone fro the late Roger Lyons who directed the famous black and white ad with the guy stripping in the laundrette?
He was a friend and my unofficial godfather and was the most awesome person ever. When you see that Ad tell them Roger Lyons did it! :')
Keep up listening to good music. Im 27, and they just churn out a lot of shit in the mainstream music scene. Look around and find the good stuff. It ll make a man out of ya. haha. keep rockin little dude.
Christ! Unity2103, you were my incredibly niche teenage fantasy figure, up there with the girl from the Levis freedom to move advert and jasmine lowson from the big breakfast news. Hope that all is shiny and wonderful in your world.
My God that makes me feel old! I'm the girl laying in the car in the video. Just thought i'd look it up for old times sake. 1997!? Jeez! Feels like yesterday. Great song!
wow and just wow , bloody good song to be associated with and i hope your a honey still , my claim to fame is my shirt was in a bon jovi video , sadly the bastard ex wife was in it at the time
one of my favourite ever songs, a girl broke up with me the day after i bought the album, and spent many days feeling sorry for myself listening to this
awesome tune.Was having a pint there and this song popped into my head out of nowhere,i decided to come home and search for it instead of having another drink. Deserves a thumbs up for that reasone alone!
Every time someone replies to the comment I made about four or five months ago I have to come back and listen to this, one of the most beautifully composed songs ever. Listening to it now while I'm typing is bringing me out in goose bumps..... come on... "IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon after meeting the love of my life we were snogging away on the sofa when this came on the stereo. We both told eachother that this was one of our favourite songs. I think that was one of the things that sealed it for me. Now we have a beautiful little baby boy in our lives. That's what this song reminds me of. My happiness. Susie, I love you.
you've probably listened to a lot of other Reef songs, but the ones on youtube that make me feel the best are I've Got Something To Say and Place Your Hands. Always make me smile :)
Dude, I really love this song, however, If you are still going through a tough spell, listen to Reef Good Feeling, and remember, IT WILL GET BETTER. Live life as much as you can, respect, love and learn, Take it easy dude
heard off someoneother day they are still about and gonna support big band soon. cant find anything about it though...hope they do i will be well there!
