Heard this song on one of my mums girly cds when we were driving around. I was like wait a minute, whats this song called, its awesome!!! I absolutely love this track!
Smooth as silk guitar and bass , just listen to the riffs , Sharleen stomps all over this and just makes you love it , really well crafted great song . Its fucken cool..
I remember this on former Richmond (VA) radio station - WVGO 106.5 back in the early 90s until it became 106.5 The Buzz. and then went to WBTJ.
Used to have some damned good stations in Richmond that really played music for their listening audiences and actually took requests until the "corporate empire" took over and everthing SUCKS!
Moi non plus je n'ai pas besoin d'une "Amoureuse", j'ai besoin de quelqu'un qui m'écoute, me sublime dans mes bons cotés, me freine dans mes excés, en clair mon alter égo, et à qui j'apporterai tout l'amour que je garde en moi, pour l'instant seuls mes "Amies/Amis/Famille" en profitent
Named of course after Wim Wenders film Paris, Texas...with an intro slide guitar that homages Ry Cooder's soundtrack to said film. Beautiful song from a great band
god i miss those 90's bands... texas, cardigans, oasis, cranberries, etc. ... that was the music where you had to earn your reputation with music, heart and soul :D
@Shimozilla I've seen hundreds of comments on YT like your M8, I'm in my 50's and loved the 70's and 80's..Then it dramatically started going down hill.
Those born in the 70's probably like the 90's better, Kids today go for Rap crap all about guns,drugs,killing etc.
Spot on with your comment my saying is "You know your getting old when the music of the time is crap"
It's sad but true. I was born in '89 but I like 90's and 80's bands more thou.
I have always loved that music which had captured spirit of those faded times when music was actually more than just sound. it all had a meaning and a message, and yet, every time you'd listen to same song, you'd get something new from it...
@Thewizard22uk I like this song and I'm 40, but there are still a number of modern day artists whom I really like such as P!nk, Mika, Duffy, Scissor Sisters, McFly, Robbie Williams, Take That, and Susan Boyle. The problem is that a lot of music that gets pushed into the top 40 today is homogenised and manufactured and only targeted to philistines - up until the late 80's the top 40 was a lot more democratic.
Can't someone put up the official video to the song onto YouTube? This is an excellent song with a good thick southern rock vibe that will never date. :)
How come youtube doesn't have the official clip of this video? I remember it was especial like the track. One of Texas' best (if not THE best) works ever!
this isnt highlighting the differences between lovers and friends, its a woman trying to cling onto a relationship using the 'lets be jus friends' line, like you do, it's her persuading HERSELF they can be just friends but then her anger is apparent in the lines, 'you don't even care with what I'm saying'... so she starts off good then shows its not a good idea by losing it :P
I've not heard this in ages,used to play this realy loud in the truck running through france and spain,happy days..

this shitty music today has no soul, it's pure pornography with lame lyrics (if it could be called lyrics)
