  • i think they had a budget for this video :p

  • i love everything about you mike skinner !!!

  • Possibly worst video award ?

  • Mr Nice Guy's theme tune

  • Why does he sound like the vox from Enter Shikari?

  • SKINNER, WHY ARE YOU RAPPING ABOUT MY LIFE???

  • wanna receive that mobile x.x

  • im jus gettin turned onto this band and i have to say that my life is greatly improved :p

  • @leonnuggetz Good for you! He's got a helluva catalog. It's interesting to listen to his albums and follow the evolution. I suggest them all, though "purists" will argue he hasn't done much good since "A Grand Don't Come Free". Just a shame he decided to quit the music, but he gave us his all in his short career!

  • story of my life

  • He reminds me of Enter Shikari :D

  • @xZachSomethingx

    Please explain that to me!

  • Amazing how a guy who can't sing for shit is good...

  • I am also absolutely shit and awful at drawing.

  • Such a simple video, love it

  • Still good to see women in hip hop videos who are not disregarded as sex symbols! Thats the way you should do it!

  • @BongoMongo42 definitely not hiphop

  • @laurencewright123 tell me why, tell me what hip hop is.

  • @BongoMongo42 This is not hip hop- this is a genre of its own.

  • @BongoMongo42 what are you talking about she is pure sex

  • @BongoMongo42 hip hop ? seriously

    

  • I think the part with maeckes are better

  • compare this track to: "free the bass" from "zion train"

  • if hes so lonely why has he got all of those people in his garden?

  • @gerrard6092 Lol! I chuckled. 

  • hahahahahahaha i love the end

  • Everytime I listen to this song I think: "It's perfect! But just too short." 

  • I do love that video even though that is not actually being played on the keys lol

  • lol yeah I'm absoloutley awful at drawing I wouldn't try to do it no more lmao

  • Much love and respect Mike Skinner

  • this lyrics can make sex with my brain !!! HUGS from Italy

  • 72 people don't like him.

  • @PaulToThe2ndPower You what? The fact you refer to him as the lead singer says it all you don't understand the streets and the fact this song (and the whole album) is genuine experience that talks to thousands... I think you should give credit to someone who describes themselves as an 'urban poet' this is spoken word and done in this style for a reason. Learn how music works before you make stupid comments. You fail.

  • @mgreenyuk "Learn how music works?" I actually study music at university. Your first sentence isn't a sentence, and most of your comment has no punctuation. Maybe you should learn how GRAMMAR works before you criticize my opinion. Saying I fail isn't necessary. Maybe their style just isn't for me. I found the actual music and and lyrics quite good. I just thought the "urban poet"-ness of it actually detracted from the good qualities.

  • @PaulToThe2ndPower Granted I was a bit harsh, I just don't think mike skinner gets the credit he deserves. My first sentence is a sentence and my punctuation is bad because I couldn't give a damn! This is far from a marked exam... which you should understand doing a waste of a degree such as music.

  • @mgreenyuk To be honest, I don't think the last comment was any less harsh. My last response conceded to both things about the tune that I like AND the fact that maybe I just don't understand the style. Style is subjective, and while this song CLEARLY means much to you, I think the style is somewhat wasted on me. My intent was never to offend. I thought the internet was someplace where people could share their opinions freely. Clearly I was wrong. And music is my minor.

  • @PaulToThe2ndPower I fully apologise, I can agree with your rebuttal.

  • He's got British teeth :)

  • @relativelypainless I am charmed by your stereotypical knowledge :>

  • lol @ the tags

  • Man, is it me, or does The Streets rap so truthfully? He pretty much says what I've been thinking, and I thought I was the only one who thought like this.

  • @AeroAstro a song for every mood

    

  • @AeroAstro You're not alone in that. I too am thinking the same thoughts

  • @AeroAstro you're not alone bruh

  • Comment removed

  • @AeroAstro Only Mikey can put those clouded thoughts into simple, yet beautiful lyrics, i agree though : )

  • 1,289,346 person to like

  • the streets are the only lyrics i pay attension to, always seem to be able to relate

  • I reckon it's one of their best songs ever. Simple, deep and catchy.

  • cool song

  • Skinner blows my mine.

  • and I still like it, that the streets treat women better than many other hip-hop artists, even tough something somehow removed my old comment : (

  • @pamziest90 Your expectations are waay too high.

  • i dig the shit out of this dude. i wish there was more of this style. just chilled out.

  • mike skinner you are a fucking genius. come to nz and do some shows please. and please come to dunedin

  • It reminds me of my goldfish, Finnie. He would just swim all day round and round his little bowl and yet he wasn't sad, no, never a tear did Finnie shead. Its how i'll always remember him; the morning light glancing off of his golden scales, his face fixed and happy. Maybe he was oblivious to the fact that he was trapped, doomed to swim round and round for the rest of his days, but i think that he knew of his confines and was content with them because he needed nothing but the water he swam in.

  • @dakotasmurf What?

  • I'm addicted to this song ♥

  • so fucking my song... :/

  • i love these small english gardens

  • You caught a no hitter hitting winning strokes haha , i like how he doesn't force rhymes in this track.

  • Scottie and the family ;DDD

  • Grand Song, love how dry Mike sings

  • one of my fav..

  • bääm! hammer song!!!!

  • not surprised mike hasnt sold out to vevo

  • @franksred1 Because the streets no longer exist and don't think he wants much to do with it anymore... In several interviews he has mentioned he has had enough of all the shit that comes along with it.

  • @franksred1 whats vevo

  • @franksred1 u no that vevo pays for us 2 have a free u tube?? idiot!!

  • The more i listen to this tune the more i like it. WARNING: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!

  • Awesome tune!

  • great video!

    

  • The woman looks like his mother. Is she?

  • lovely

    

  • Hi I’m a new up n coming artist from uk mixing and experimenting with tracks and i also make my own music, I’d appreciate it if you stopped by for 2mins and listen to my new material. TEAM 2011

  • Don't know why but there's something with how that woman carries herself and looks that i can't stand , its so annoying :(( like be more honered to be around those ppl or something ! can't get my finger around it dammit

  • @TheMartinjeees

    well to me she doesn't look comfortable with being in front of the camera

  • this kinda hiphop is called grime

  • @1rakaniszu1 nahh, its not grime. grimes got the faster 140bpm. tbh, mikes got his own lil genre goin.

  • @1rakaniszu1 doesn't really make sense because they are two different genres. that's like saying this kind of drum and bass is dubstep

  • @1rakaniszu1 dude this is not grime... not even close to grime...

  • @1rakaniszu1 naw my friend this is not grime. grime is well..... a bit grimier for one. the streets is a mash up of dub (not dubstep),dnb (not dave n busters) and hip hop sprinkled with a bit of wit.

  • @MSNGR415 the streets are just... the streets, they are there own genre. :D and a fookin awesome one at that!

  • 64 people dont understand the concept of real music

  • Awesome ring! :O

  • I drew a drawing of you after last time I saw you

    I never felt to draw a picture like that before

    I learnt a lot about myself drawing all morning

    It was absolutely shit, I'm awful at drawing

  • Brilliant! Together with names like John Legend, Damian Marley and Talib Kweli (in my opinion ofc) I regard The Streets as the most talented musicians today making hip-hop.

  • fuck u to everyone who dislikes this vid

  • Comment removed

  • this song is so peng <3

  • this tune is pure quality.....NICE ONE SKINNER....

  • one of the sadest songs ive ever heard....

    But it fits perfectly to a Situation i was in a few months ago...

    Mike Skinner is godlike

  • mike skinner = LEGEND i download many abums but always buy skinners cds simply the best

  • @grantisbwfc Everything is borrowed is the last CD I actually bought. 

  • so Justin Bieber is rolling in dough and Mike Skinners name is even globally known... what the fuck is wrong with the world

  • this, i adore !

  • You guys spamming about your sexual orientation (believe me: NO one's interested.) almost ruins this song. But no, not really. Great video as well <3

  • Grand dont come for free

    Orginal pirate material

    Hardest way to make an easy living

    Everything is borrowed

    in that order

  • his vids are geting more low budget and his music is geting more soal . i like it :)

  • you know what i like especially in this video? It´s kinda hip-hop, there´s a woman in it and she wasn´t forced to show her tits...the streets are great!

  • @BongoMongo42 TITS? WHERE?

  • @fanaticbeatz RETARD....

  • @fanaticbeatz The trick is, there are none shown. By this the woman is treated equal to the male protagonists of this video which fits perfectly with the fact that women are equal to men.

    For you, I´d recommend many other Hip-Hop artists who only put women into their videos in order to look "good" and dance around in slutty ways, so that they distract you from the lyrics that are by the way mostly sexist, dumb and always the same. Or porn.

  • @BongoMongo42 and she wasnt on the trampoline..:P.xxx

  • @BongoMongo42

    True hiphop never shows such useless details :)

  • @BongoMongo42 Truetrue:)

  • @BongoMongo42 There forced ?.?

  • mmmm<3

  • lol i love this song and i love mike skinner but i am a piano player and the keyboardist is not playing that lol yeah original pirate material fukin aweswome album , i had all mike skinners albums

  • lol i love this song and i love mike skinner but i am a piano player and the keyboardist is not playing that lol

  • great!!

  • i'm pretty sure that's just the lighting

  • I love you more NAdia

  • i'm like a lot of the Streets songs, but can someone recommend some of his songs that are more hip-hop style bangers? Songs about relationships are cool but I was wondering if he had some harder or more boom bap hip-hop style songs. I'm sure he does.

  • @sirsquiggly I'd check out the Original Pirate Material for the anthems

  • Świetna piosenka, teledysk do dupy ;)
