Tanita Tikaram - Twist in my sobriety

[blanzo1337]

this is a very sad and scary song... I thought it was a man singing when I heard it... anyways... a strange song you've heard some times in your life at sensitive periods..

[aTnavarrow]

Love it !

[toomuchpetrol]

i forgot all about this song for about 20 years

[Chabinho76]

This is NOT KARAOKE! LOOOW! -.-

[chasteff]

dass lied hat irgendwie etwas wunderschönes :)

[carpe77100]

quelle voix

[vegforlife555]

This song is the definition of cool.

[Tornfreedom]

Or an oboe, which I think is a longer, lower tone Clarinet.

[GoodVibesOfficial]

♪♫♥ !

[Gravityparadiiz]

What is the instrument which is used at 1:04 ?

[Tornfreedom]

@Gravityparadiiz I may be wrong, but I think it is a Clarinet, a reed wind instrument.

[lorand133]

@Gravityparadiiz i think it's an oboe. the clarinet sounds a little deeper. or it could be a muted clarinet too... but i guess it is an oboe

[Paolo14Maso]

Great Tanita where are you ?

[valentinockchan]

This song has Cantonese vision, the song name is "Have Problem"

[TheHuschi123]

I love her voice so much ,,,, love it for ages ... Her voice reminds me of my losses in life .... my dead dogs, my dead horses, people who left me ... for ever .... but: The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall, it's simple and it's plain. Why should I complain? He jests at scars, that never felt a wound. I have felt so many wounds. But I believe in LIFE and in LOVE. For ever. Maggie

[cLaSSiQLaDy]

0:33 <3 i love it. 0:54

[Dschland92]

[rusigyn]

I always liked this song ,I just don't get it ......WTF!!!!

[beckin88]

[hobospeler]

@beckin88

it's not a clarinet, but a oboe :-)

[garyfarmer1000]

@beckin88 nice comment wicked song not heard it 4 years

[A55ma57er]

All good children need travelling shoes... happy trails kids. Go with God!



[Merlinslady]

What long forgotten feelings this song brings back - scary......

[garyfarmer1000]

@Merlinslady 2 rite

[jdlbailey]

Guaranteed to get any party going! Great song! Remember this from when I was a kid. Bobby Davro used to do a funny impression of her back in the day!

[TsvetankaNaydenova74]

Yes!

[Maxiclaudi]

Used to listen to this when I lived in Ankara, Turkey, in the late 80s, working at the Embassy....

[Bloodkloot]

good song from a big artist

[nonothebot]

ok... I was right... But the english term for "cromorne" seems to be "oboe"... Hautbois in french but those are two different instruments however...

[nonothebot]

FUCK I've been looking for this song for at least 20 years !!!!

I wonder if the instrument we hear during and after the chorus is a cromorn...

This song was one of the first CD my brother bought... Oldies...

[TheSchmanzi]

...ou, you will never be more, than a twist in my sobriety ! (:

[linnieverberne2]

love this song

[Enary13Jtmuch]

beautiful song...once in a lifetime just like her voice...

[citronek01]

tento song nemá chybu, zamilovala jsem se do něj při prvním poslechu. love that :)

[meks2003meks]

It is indeed a great song . and I love the way the oboe goes in and out of the melody, almost as if it were having a dialogue with it.

[elfbeau]

like this song...and your channel

[Luzifer1994]

fucking amazing >_>

[MrHanksWorld]

love this song

[mooneepondskid]

The reason her voice sounds different is because despite the fact she is singing in english her background is mixed between malay and fijian indian. Add the fact she grew up in germany before moving to england and it isn't too surprising her sound is as eclectic as it is.

[swatfour]

@mooneepondskid Her family from military was based in a very beautiful town - Muenster, NRW. There she grew up

[liviuu88]

misto ....

[lugreca]

Buen Aporte continuar asi ok ok ok

[manuellegful]

merci

[manuellegful]

merci

[jackovim1]

love this song...timely lyrics,lifting my spirit....

[oblivilo]

Singer is female?

I always thought it was male :D

[martti1orava]

@oblivilo Yeah, me too :) Now, when I already know it's a woman, I can hear the voice is female. But it's still disputable ;)

[Shivaazet]

@oblivilo hehe yes so listen to this song :D Amanda Lear - Enigma, Give a bit of mmm to me (78)

[frankasbk]

jes ti šiptarka?

[OBceannette]

so nice to listen too....

[Lokasena]

such a sexy song... like sweet dreams-Annie Lennox etc...

[pondemonium9]

this song descipes my life, of his own way. am i depressive or do i know... know the way life make this off all of us.. the way of crying, little bit hoping and the the most of it, waiting.. waiting for something we dont know, and never will be.. i am crying for us all.. but so egoistic i am, most for myself..thats the way people thinking..

[JJmacd]

im sure this once featured in Miami Vice, randomly enough

[rockmyr95]

what holograms means?/

[JJmacd]

jeezus how do you define a hologram?

a fake image created by lasers that appear three dimensional.

just google it

[OneMystified]

@rockmyr95 A phototonic imitation

Check out the Boon Dang Remix of this

Tanita Tikaram - Twist In My Sobriety (Boon Dang Remix)

[manuellegful]

dans quel film cette chanson est-elle utilisée?

[cloreal]

bonjour you chease eating surrender monkey.

[bgbelgorock]

@manuellegful

Dans 'Bandits' (2001) avec Bruce Willis et Cate Blanchett.

[dreadedscorpion]

@ felgyujtalak

no - she was not Turkish

Tikaram was born in Münster, Germany, the daughter of a Malaysian mother Fatimah Rohani and an Indo-Fijian father Pramod Tikaram. Her father's military career meant that she spent her early life in Germany before moving to Basingstoke, England when she was in her early teens.

[utopianconstruction]

Fuck me harry this is rather gude tunarge.

[dorianpalepic]

Wo ist sie geblieben? So tolle lieder damals auf "Ancient heart"

[felgyujtalak]

If I know good, she is Turkish.

[b7souris]

En Ancient heart... música de dolor, construyendo fantasías estéticas, de exquisita personalidad... amor, de "Twist in my sobriety"... "Distorsión de mi sobriedad". Coraje, traducido a riqueza vocal... musical, producida por Peter Van Hooke y Rod Argent... Tanita Tikaram.

[RomanticGothWoman85]

Great song! I love the lyric<3

[Del360T]

It´s as if the world took a sabbatical from the perceived need for lyrics to make sense; this is as gloriously, sublimely nonsensical as "Vienna" or "True"

[cowboyfrmohelll]

smooth:)))

[devonar1]

Thank you so much for up loading,

Diaboldik2!

[LunaSeaSane]

I find it excellent. Song, lyrics and a very expressive voice.

[buggeDx3]

my dad said she was only 17 when she wrote and sung that song.. is that true? (is that possible? xD) the thought is making me depressed, i'm 17 too ._.

[PRINCE23062003]

no, she was 19 not 17

[MARIANOMX1]

GREAT SONG, NICE VOICE.

[bethystar2]

love her voice

[noami77]

a very wonderful song :)

[beamerman1964]

I love her husky voice

[CareliaArcadievna]

Maravillosa canción, en la impecable interpretación de una vocalista insuperable.

[slaxwell55]

and a good singerLOL

[joo33210]

belle mélodie! jaime! ^^

[dansmabulle01]

j'adore :)

[BonesnapperJ]

It's not true. Rap is just something different. Real rap doesn't have anything to do with the music that destroyed Tikaram's genre and the like.

[martziano619]

AMAZING SONG! rap has destroyed the real music!

[titusdeluxe]

this song...so rare as her voice is...

but thas precisely what it makes her so beautiful, her strange and male tone to sing is completely different to all those girls wanting to become into the next MADONNA...

[claumirian1]

[jasperjava]

Beautiful song. I love Tanita's voice and the haunting oboe.

[pkthedude]

Poignant & beautiful

[NatschePatsche]

what is sobriety? my english is not that good^^

[AnCaladh]

well, in case you´re german: sobriety means

Ernsthaftigkeit

Nüchternheit

Schlichheit, Dezentheit

Solidität

But you would have to ask Tanita wich way she means it in the song ;-)

Have a nice day..

[BounoANulla]

in diesem falle singt sie Nüchternheit...

Schau, meine Augen sind nur Spiegel meiner

selbst. Sieh, deine Liebe hat das Blut

aus meinen Händen gesogen.

Aus meinen Händen, du weißt, du wirst nie mehr

sein als ein Fehltritt in meiner Nüchternheit.

[BBonvoisin]

Come on you germanophone peoploids... The lyrics are not that ambitious.

I.e. saying: "You know you'll never be more than a twist in my sobriety" is nothing but a very sophisticated way to tell someone to fuck off!

Tanita must have been in a bad grief when she wrote that.

[biorhitm]

Трезвость

[dziwak911]

I thought that was a forbidden word in Russia or even a taboo subject

[beamerman1964]

making her feel intoxicated or drunk too many beers ??

[carbidutz]

All my life i thought it's a male singer xD

[13050000]

me too

[aldit1966]

Brilliant song and music

Over 20 years have wondered what's the song about!

[remember6644]

Did you guys know that she only likes other girls?....What a waste of good womanhood!!!

[necxqn]

really?

[ladymillerna]

Her life. She'll deal. Who cares. >>

Great song, btw.

[christinbaba]

i love this song!thank you!!!!!!!

[GKSchattenjaeger]

I stand corrected, it was holograms, nevermind :S...

[GKSchattenjaeger]

She says "my eyes are "hollowed grounds"" not holograms :). Thanks for putting this up thou. Great song.

[didiver]

are you sure???

[Feijnhorn]

you are wrong- she says "holograms".

Nice Song- great Voice- i love it

[OlegAhmatov]

I'm not a good English speaker - Could someone please post possible interpretations of the song because I just don't get it :)

[jcncnc]

Don't worry about it Oleg - it's not your English! It really doesn't mean anything! It's meaningless to me too! Even the title doesn't really mean anything. I mean, I guess it kind of means something - but it's hard to figure out what it means exactly. It's one of those artist things!

[cottoncandymonster]

it isn't that 'artsy' or hard to get, really. It's about meanless romances and ending relationships.
