When I was 15, I was the only person I knew apart from one girl, who had this album. It was our best kept secret. Also, anyone I knew had the great fortune of hearing this being played, a lot.
When I was at uni, one of my friends that had moved from another uni said the lead singer was her friend at the other uni and sat on her bed one night and said "I've written this song, what do you think?" and played this. She said it was amazing.
Right up there as far as ballads go,i too have had the love stake rammed right through my heart,blood, flesh,pain ,sorrow, all feelings expressed by the singer here.
"Video can't be played on mobile", eh? Looks like a trip to the "download and/or convert facebook vids to mp3" site or software like "Tubemate" (for Android) is in order.
Hey there... I heard this song a week ago on "the George Strombo Show", an evening showcase of true quality music showcasing b-sides and generally overlooked great music of all genres. I have to agree with you regarding the bands short lived radio play when they released "on and on". Other bands have fared better with singles in the ever so profitable 90"s...For other forgotten great music tune into cbc 105.7 "drive" at 3pm or 4pm vancouver time
Just stumbled upon the original vid on the NME website, they also have the video for Lost Myself and the other video for She Said. Sadly no Jesus Christ :(
wow. Its hard to understand how it was that they missed the success of bands like radiohead and then Coldplay when they are almost the equal of the first and far and away superior to the second. Anyway superb song
@strawhouse65 Dead right. Coldplay affectively damaged indie music to a point that we are still recovering from the fallout even now although if longpigs hadn't split, then richard hawley wouldn't have joined pulp for the 'Hardcore' sessions. For me, that was a match made in heaven. Jarv and Rich, two sheffield powerhouses of music!!!
Why dont one of the idiots on X Factor cover this? Of course it would be a desecration but at least it might alert folk to the amazingness of the original...
MTVs 12 Angry Viewers - where they would gather a bunch of dunces who only liked rap and pop music were played new groups. If the dunces liked the song it would be given rotation. If they didn't, it wouldn't be given rotation in MTVs music line up. Go figure that a bunch of rap and bubble gum pop fans didn't like this song. It got voted down - so MTV didn't run it.
never heard of em before but i saw someone mention em to a smashing pumpkins song! great voice! good song...any recommendations of good songs by em! prefer the chill ones!
Love it. This brings back so many bittersweet memories. 1996, I was a senior in college, working a crap job, I didnt have two nickels to rub together , but it was still the happiest time of my life. I wish I was that free again. This also reminds me of a special someone from those days that I let slip away,
I've forgotten about this song for such a long time, and I can't believe that I did because its so beautiful. However, the black and white UK video is so much better than this one. I don't understand why they had to make a second version in the first place. I can't remember anything that anybody would find objectionable about the UK version. But, I suppose, its all a matter of opinion.
Get Loaded in the Dark hits the Coronet on Thursday 1st April 2010 and is set to be another sell-out episode!

pure amazing wanted this as wedding song then we split up...she didnt deserve this song anyway! its a classic best left the way it is,i miss longpigs tho
I remember the video to this song but cant remember the song until watching the brit gangster film FACE i cant get this song out of my head its great .
Cool. This was one of the songs on the Mission Impossible inspired soundtrack (1st movie with Tom Cruise). I Spy by Pulp is also on the c.d. which is frickin' awesome!!!
What a song! - takes your heart and squeezes it like a sponge.
