Reef - Place Your Hands

[MissLittlePeacock]

I spent every single minute of my teenage years crazily in love with Dom Greensmith. Oh yum......

[mrthomaslimer]

god sake everyone judging and w.e just kick back and relaxe man...going nowhere if your just going to question and argue. chill out and listen.

[ecogrrrl23]

The lead singer looks like a blonde long haired version of Vernon Kay..

[samuelwanderers]

such a good song. makes you feel instantly happy

[MissLittlePeacock]

@samuelwanderers And yet it's about death.....

[itspastmycurfew]

british, american, botswanan or frigging azerbaijani it make not one iota of difference where the music comes from the point is it still gets feet tapping and fingers clicking!

[stonedrose1]

It's Your Letters!

[ncTAYLORxx]

My favorite song of all time AND WHAT.

[nthenry]

They sold more than you did.

[scoorieboy]

Who cares which side of the puddle it comes from. This is brilliant.

[Graigmire1668]

awesome band - awesome music video

[bokbrad]

Class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Rockers­.



[jumpoutatree]

I never heard this song before. Someone just challenged me to make it through the first thirty seconds without turning it off. I couldn't do it.

[ShadowArchon11]

@jumpoutatree i'm 13. I actually like it.

[TheBoringBastard]

Oh boy, I was in my teens when this came out...Heard it on Mtv or something, got the album, liked two songs on it (this being the other one) and then traited it for a Xysma-album. This song still sounds pretty good to me, tough.

[Chazzyman12345]

These guys ROCKED Lemonfest last night!! :D x

[Geshreeyeh]

Reef were, hands-down, the sh*ttest band of the 90's. I recently had a row with someone who tried to claim they were good. The fact that he could only name one song (this soul-rock t*rdburger), begged to differ. I'd love to place my hands (in fist formation) into the lead singer's face repeatedly and with great force. A perfect example of sh*t music.

[majorsnag]

@Geshreeyeh lmfao.."in fist formation"..haha cheers for the laugh!!

[ansettw]

@Geshreeyeh well if you don't liek it why are you here ?:)

[RokDAWG1]

I LOVE these guys, I wish they'd been a lot bigger

[GEOPAIH1234]

Saw these in Truro back in '98, seeing them again in November!

[seahawk124]

It's your letters!

It's your letters!

[iluvrock123]

What an amazing singer :D

[jallison419]

bloody brilliant .could listen to this again and again

[lovelyflares]

The Boys Rocked at Cornbury last weekend .. Fuckin' great !!! Great to meet ya Jack !! Great Guy ! ....Go buy Yard people !

[pwilson1980]

"It's your letters, it's your letters!". Love this song, but can't help but be reminded of TFI Friday whenever hear it.

[katiecarnes]

i love this song. its got so much meaning x

[chikitakooki]

Put your hands up...put your hands up! Alright now!

[EddieWFR]

Glasto! Producing good music since for ever :D

[donkeyfriend1]

stop bloody argueing and enjoy the magic of music!

sick song :)

[TheAcademydude]

Saw these at Manchester Academy on Saturday. They rocked, I wasn't expecting any great vibe with it being a comeback kind of thing but they were spot on. The set finished with Waster and it left the crowd buzzing. Great group. I missed them first time around being forty something but if they are playing near you go and you will not leave dissapointed.

[madmac17]

To the person who called Reef a 'one-hit wonder', I have to strongly disagree. Every song on Glow kicks ass and Replenish is very good too. That's my two cent's worth:)

[ryanhickers]

quality song. People are entitled to an opinion - but this is the best of british music. Go Reef!

[66klint]

shitty

[rythemandthebeat]

remind me abit like hanson

[richieh1980]

Chris Evans TFIF. "It's your letters" :-D

[larrykoopa67]

this song is so perverted

[ChefPatrick71]

Wow, these guys opened for Live at my first ever concert in Erie PA in 1996! Awesome throwback song!

[mrmuttley]

It's your letters!

[reevy6]

England till i die!!!!!!!

[mikomagic1984]

is that mother fycker vernon mother fucin kakY

[spitfire611]

No you fool.

[DMEB]

good drinking tune i find... along with the black crows version of hard to handle..

[CODis4me]

Amazing band

[wazztie16]

One of my fave party tunes :)

[philjbailey]

no one should hav a problem with anyone ,just be here to enjoy the music not throw insults...so all relax and enjoy ,tis quality tunes

[dan794750]

whos got a fucking problem with brits

[suprman69]

too right. we're fucking awesome and ur all jealous cock suckers

[TechnikaSound]

Kids arguing. ech grow up...

[monsieurfisher]

reef are quality

[gerrad1973]

sounds nothing like skynyrd you clown...and if theyre Brits how can they be an American version of skynyrd you stupid %$!$ ??

[gerrad1973]

1,i already class you saying 'shit ass brit' as an insult - hardly polite is it?

2,Im a pussy (another insult) for pointing out your message makes no sense whatsoever? - read your post again, you slag them for being BRITS then say theyre trying to be an AMERICAN version ?!

[gerrad1973]

3, Tough guy internet warrior - you dont even know me so its a bit silly to call someone out - but as you know that there is at least the Atlantic Ocean between us its safe enough eh? Very immature 'insult me live and we will see' ha!

4, I wasnt criticising you knowledge about music - just the fact you couldnt write a sentence that made sense. anyway, what another childish, immature thing to say -

[gerrad1973]

'we'll see who knows about music' - its subjective and based on opinion and neither of our opinions of what is good music is worth more than anyone elses. . However, talking of knowledge of music, your review of this song - 'shit ass brits trying to be an american version of LS - how pathetic' Was a really insightful, compelling piece of work that really illustrated your in-depth and superior knowledge of music.

[gerrad1973]

Grow up...you cant defend your nonsensical original statement - just accept it, rather than acting the tough guy/gal

[caminus]

@gerrad1973 Whoever this was directed at got owned!

[gerrad1973]

@caminus his comments have been removed now so i look a bit of a loon ranting like that - but each post responded to one of his - i promise!

[gerrad1973]

nah - Greek, sorry abou that, (you being Greek)!

[gerrad1973]

being a Brit, it is an insult.....but im sure i will get over it

[spitfire611]

You absolute Prick.

[spitfire611]

Obviously my comment above meant for jazzmannEE and not gerrad1973 - very eloquent argument gerrad. Unfortunately I see comments akin to jazznanEE's and revert to playground insults like....PRICK......'cos that's what they are.

[jazzmanEE]

bullshit voice

[Saternalius]

I'd happily place my hands on his hole.

xx

[dcapone77]

this is chill as bru/

[juniorphreak]

I remember when MTV played this video over and over and at first, I hated it, but it grew on me hard and I ended up loving it.

Ah, the days of a keeping a video tape in the VCR to record videos that came on before the days of mp3s and YouTube.

[petermurphreak]

Motherfucking sweet!!! I had completely forgotten about this TERRIFIC band and how SUCCULENT their singer was!!! ( whistle!!!) That motherfucker was SMOLDERING HOT!!!! and he had the voice of Tom Jones!!! What an EXPLOSIVE COMBINATION!!!!

[andeegreen]

Yeah, man! I definately agree, but for me, the explosive combo was Gary's voice alongside Kenwyn House's sweet guitar riffs. (think... naked(!!!), Something to Say, Yer Old, and of course my fav, Consideration(check out my Studland Beach video for that one)

[Rembrandtrules]

Is it me or does the singer look like Vernan Kay wit long hair lol?

[uzzle65]

Bloody awesome guitar riff!

[andeegreen]

it is!!! but i never realised how simple it was all these years....

D - Emaj7 and thats it!

[cometrally]

Maybe it's just me, but this guy cannot sing.

[Smadlin01]

yeah just you ^^

[cometrally]

Oh, guess I'm the only one with taste. Sorry.

[kmitch92]

you're the only one who shouldn't be here - his voice wanks on you and your fucking 'taste'

[cometrally]

I guess his awesome voice is the reason why no one gives a fuck about Reef anymore, right? Go choke on a bag of dicks while you listen to your shitty playlist of Crash Test Dummies, Dave Matthews and Hootie.

[kmitch92]

I don't listen to any of them 3, and while this is a bit of a 1 hit wonder, his voice is still good, a person's voice does not determine the success of the band, and I think it may have been creative output in this case - but they have other good songs.....You're a total cock by the way

[cometrally]

I'm a cock for not liking his voice and thinking it's bad? OK, fine. You're a cunt for liking his voice and thinking it's good. Feel better? Now we're on even terms.

[andeegreen]

so that makes me neither a 'cock' or a 'cunt' for not liking you! Cool!

[cometrally]

Yeah, sure.

[kev81scott]

wish TFI Friday was still on !!!!!!

[jakestephensell]

this is a fkin feel good song!

[alana2013]

[crystalizer78]

rock city nottingham went mad when this came on still rocksss

[andeegreen]

yeah, and then my girlfriend went and snogged the drummer, i got all jealous & we broke up after 4 years!!! But i DO still have happy memories of Reef! Anyone remember the band recording a bit of the song for TFI Friday and replacing the words with 'ITS YOUR LETTERS'?

happy days

[CelticPowerRanger]

ITS YOUR LETTERS! Definitely remember it! I heard somewhere that apparently before Reef sang it at one of his concerts he asked the crowd NOT to sing the letters version and of course what happened lol. Bet he probably did that so that they WOULD. TFI Friday was the reason I started listening to Reef.

[Superblazer1]

I want to give a shoutout to Toddman37

[1978pjm01]

Used to love Reef - about time they made a comeback - I know they're all in different bands now but none of them have the same feel good factor.

[sparkythepirate]

one of them strange videos from those days of staring at mtv2 for hours on end... good times

[dannythegaminggeek]

Good Morning, Justin!

[StJunkie1]

i much prefer slow songs by reef, like levels or all i want...but they still totally rocked out bangin tunes!

[tomthetaffer]

ahhh the 90's...gorram. Its just so good

[7pl0ns]

ARGH This is the kind of music that makes you feel really good about your self :D

Its the same thing with the happy songs by the band Gomez.

[hayscot93]

this song rocks so much. .

i was tring to find it cause it was in my head but now've i found it and i will spread the words of its greatness

[BeccaBaybiiee]

ive been trying to find this song for years, found it, whooooo

[funkymish]

same, I was wondering who it was ever since the song was new and I saw the video on tv!

[mockingbirdxxx]

What a voice! what a song! Just love it, can't keep still when I listen to it, soul food, double helping!!!!

[theshoes19871]

IT'S YOUR LETTERS IT'S YOUR LETTERS!

[nobrakesukspeedway]

biggedy biggedy bong

[SingaporePenguins]

i love this song! such a happy tune!

[logon235]

I read somewhere that the song is about the grief he felt on the death of his Gramps. It's definitely inspired and upbeat inspite of it, though.

[lavafunkey]

I just so love this tune! More viewings needed!! Come on people!!!

[nickweir198125]

This video has already been uploaded, it's had over 200 thousand views. Fucking ace tune!!!

[sha4096]
