[riosapolinar]

[0bnoxiousrecords]

[Sh1t0nTheVilla]

“Bravery in the face of Defeat”

[nahhchill]

wat

[arghydoodles]

TAKES ME BACK

[avidfann]

mad track!!!



[Daft7Punk]

I fucking love Mike Skinner. The thing I hate about music like this, is the fact that there can never be more. Mike has stopped music for a while and even if/when he comes back, it won't be the same as what this was. Even A Grand Don't Come For Free was different. This CD will definitely be put in my 'classics' collection.

[bushwarn0]

@Daft7Punk soo true

[ajetheman]

Skinner is a genius. Corker of a track!

[officialmashitup]

Oh my, you know you're old if you get the "64" reference

[SomeMadCunt]

@officialmashitup 64 wasnt long ago realy

[ajetheman]

@SomeMadCunt - '96/'97 is time ago mate! ;-)

[Calvinf746]

@officialmashitup Nintendo 64 CLASSIC!!!!

[HaroonSinOne]

this is the day in the life of a geeeeeza

[reggieziet]

You know what sucks... I was too young to go the the clubs around the time OPM came out, and all the other good 2step/garage music. There were great parties with music like this..

[newman447]

Pills were good, Green was good, Life was...Goooood

[CrysusDub]

why did mike have to go mainstream D: FUCKIN CLASSIC!

[revolutiongamestar]

this song gives me a strange sense of peace that can only be described as tranquility

[ALLYRNUBZ]

@revolutiongamestar Exactly same here, think it takes me back thats why..

[deelite19]

brings back memories... god my life was simpler back then...

[JACKKMATT]

lean like the tower of pisa!

[HighDrummer1]

NOSTAAAAALGIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[roosterbooster124]

Never have i come across an album that portraits life as accuratly as OPM.

[IcyWeazel]

Got this album this weekend. What the fuck took me so long?

[FUNKYLOCK]

where r ya missing ya bad

[bgomz]

a buddy of mine named handbook made a cover/remix of this song and he just posted in on his youtube channel. you guys should check it out. just search "has it come to this - handbook version"

[77pur377]

class 90s :)

[cjburbridge]

[hexlec2010]

[tacosaucemafia]

@hexlec2010  this is from 2002

[corporalblossom1]

@tacosaucemafia track's not about 00's, it's about the 90's

[convict999con]

fucking wicked lyrics

[sicomotherlicker]

this takes me back.... :)

[TjtheTrapper]

I'm a Jamaican guy living in Miami and growing up I wanted to live in England so badly. Is this unusual?

[ExtremeBogom]

@TjtheTrapper

You should come over then :D.

Plenty of Jamaicans in UK, and many influences in our urban music!

[9176Dave]

@TjtheTrapper Very.

[Celler2]

@TjtheTrapper I was born in Russian, moved to Canada when I was 14. I am not 26 living in Canada and my whole life I wanted to live in England.

[dekap1020]

@TjtheTrapper yes, don't come here it's shit

[ArtexedSmashing]

@TjtheTrapper it's a shit hole, our government is screwed:l but hey, isn't everywhere screwed, the best place to live would be a deserted island with all the music, food, and women you can imagine...with no rules or no big cheeses looking down on you, monitoring your behaviour constantly, true freedom that'd be.

[Baynham3]

@TjtheTrapper you could almost say its like america but on a smaller scale, you got your countryside, your small towns, your cities but we dont have as many guns and no mental areas on the scale of the grand canyon or yellowstone

[atomsforpeace89]

@TjtheTrapper As Tom Jones would say "It's not unusual."

[molieman]

@TjtheTrapper ILL SWAP WITH YOU MATE

[pfclouis77]

This is the day in the life of a geeza!

[FreedomBeats]

He's captured what many people have been through into well composed nostalgic music. I think this will be looked back on in years to come as a great representation of what life was like around that time.

[tazzy123123]

this is one of there best songs that they did and i think most ppl can relate to there songs

[MrPrankuk]

i live in mile end :) im quite proud if u dont no what im talking about 2:10

[SonnyJmSonnyJm]

SR Nova driving like a joyrider. i miss my nova..

[buttfuckery]

so sad that mike's leaving the streets

[20HC4L10]

perhaps the best song ever made ?

[timbanno]

[march2fuzz]

@timbanno cigarette

[Joeyyy1300]

@timbanno benson and hedges

[kingmillionaire]

tunes dont come much better than this.. poetry

[jdosia]

I'm givin your bird dem feelins...

[SuperMOgreen]

poetry to a beat beautiful

[Smashwell1]

Better fucking play this sunday at reading!!!!!

[leerees]

A ray of light shone through for the garage scene when skinner made this tune. But the dicks in the garage scene SLATED the tune just because it wasn't "oldskool garage", thank god locked on decided to ignore the idiots and put this out commercially, giving skinner a career, thus he went on to create so many good tunes. 10 years on skinner is a cult classic and those bitter old relics who slated him are gone and forgotten forever, those who remember uptowns forum will know what im on about...

[derpeterpeter]

Ohh man, ten years. Where the boody hell are they? Hot shit!

[MareRecords]

dieser song wa mein erster, den ich damals von the streets hatte...wonderful...

[bignicksuperstar]

still amazing today...

[eXPerienceyeah]

This was the first one I ever remember them releasing :)

[andovernz]

fookin 'ave it mate! proper innit.

[veggimate999]

soo chilled out!!! effin amazin

[ElykRoberts]

Love their old stuff :)

[harbros1]

channel 4?

[Jackerius17]

Deep seeded urban decay.

[francaisemusique]

they should blast this tune to all the cities in the UK with rioters, then theyll see, theyre causing chaos in the streets

[kd84afc]

infact my tube does run from mile end lol

[0salot]

it was the garage beat, plus his voice which made these bangers

[matt9741399]

Wish he'd carried on more down this route.

[VincentWest1]

Your listening to The Streets

You'll bear witness to some amazing feats

Bravery in the face of defeat

All line up and grab yer seat

[Dendiol]

Pure perfection

[mikeypeeeisdard]

Boiler room took me here!

[tom8fallon8]

[Tony19580]

My names Tony and I used to have a SR Nova, sound system banger...

[WeekendOffender1927]

my spittings dirty, my beats are clean so smoke weed an be lean!!!

[XIXColemanXIX]

Chillest beat ever, and his "lyrics" just amazing. I say "lyrics" because it is more like poetry.

[protomanhasballs]

what i wouldn't give for an instrumental of this.

[bigblunt07]

enjoy gettin high listening to the streets.awsome music

[danielpankhurst]

the thing is he talks about real life, not about bitches and hoes

[asdfghjkl13570ify]

@danielpankhurst and thats why his fan base is a minority of the general public sadly :/ imo skinner is and always will be #1 no matter who comes on in spot light if i controllled the light i keep it on him for as long as i could (or as long as he'd let me lol)

[Ethikz]

@danielpankhurst i think you mean birds, not bitches

[dietoolife]

@danielpankhurst To be fair, bitches and hoes are real.

[danielpankhurst]

@dietoolife no one likes a smart arse

[mytubemysize]

@danielpankhurst my life is all about the bitches and hoes :D

[calisonthecase669]

@danielpankhurst you legend that's what rap should be well done sir

'Blinded by the Lights taken todizzy new heights'

Shameless plug there Mike :D

[retardhoebag]

anyone know where i can find the instrumental version of this?

[craigbanbury]

not a single comment about the real message of this album... CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZYYYYYYY!!!­! if youve got the album have a listen start to finish... 'has it come to this?' , 'lets push things forward', 'same old thing (everyday), 'who dares wins', 'turn the page', 'the irony of it all'... ring any bells??? modern day government surpression, a police state??? listen ;)

[jdog634]

@craigbanbury

Can be interpreted many ways man, music is very ambiguous. Mike Skinner is a modern day poet

[cjayscfc]

original pirate material. best album made.

[traciecherry]

blinding tune!! ... sounds as good as it did back then....

[jingall2000]

thought this was a joke when i first heard this.... love it now tho

[Joey121lol]

"Few herbs and a bit of Benson"

[Brajui]

[laika288]

Such an important track heralding the arrival of an artist who could have been so much than the success he achieved.

[eSFasho]

[cawthy07]

pure genius

[WEESELash]

yerr bwoi.

[WEESELash]

yerr bwoi.

[chav2k10]

tonys got a new motor!!!

[TenWhoWereTaken]

64's, Playstations.... those were the fucking days

[skbpolo]

@TenWhoWereTaken absolutely it's all about the retro but also the Future Sounds boom bass emanating from the moment yes/no and no violent or serious swearing responses please as sensitive 2 such things on occasions. Do you like Trainspotting? It is so funny at times but only taken with Sherbert as opiates don;t really suits me.

[chaosstarr]

what kinda music this?

[louissmusic]

@chaosstarr garage

[vampyrashu]

@chaosstarr search : Uk Underground (Niche) Amar-Sometimes it snows in april

mostly uk garage influences

[skbpolo]

@vampyrashu like Parade? :---/)

[vampyrashu]

@skbpolo parade? :-/ "confused"

[nuisie86]

@vampyrashu  aahah god I remember that tune, what a beast!

[chaosstarr]

this song makes me wanna cry :( miss being a child good times

[skbpolo]

@chaosstarr it's ok - I am happy now. How are you today? Did it pass by us? xxx

[chaosstarr]

@skbpolo im fine thanks but its true music is just really bad now

[TheDrunkardly]

This song just makes you zone out, this man is a genius!! =)

[Mr84Next]

A song to pump you right up when you flying in the car before going mental not thinking how much trouble you are going to get into if you are caught! But fuck them anyway you do it for Revenge! ; )

[oipineappleface1]
