CHERRY GHOST JOOLS HOLLAND SHOW

[SeaBassTian]

This is real music. Whenever I turn on the radio lately, I think: WHATS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

[jimbojunior1000]

MAN THIS HAUNTING SONG IS TOTALLY AMAZING

[toussantlbisso]

Blimey ! Them Blokes done made themselves an Irrefutably Worthy Classic Here !

[Aethereal09]

I wonder if 20 years from now anyone will remember fake plastic music with booty shaking, lip synching "singers" , i wonder if when the younger generation asks how was it possible to survive such music shallowness if someone will tell them that even though drowned by commercial and financial corporative interests there were some musicians who stood tall like these guys here.

[auronsquall]

Fuck I love Cherry Ghost. Birdy covering it is okay, but I know I'll still be listening to Cherry Ghost's original more than anything. Simon's voice is just amazing.

[Janinalittlewolf]

So damn good it hurts - I feel like blasting everyone's ears out with this and saying "listen fools, just listen....."

[thestarlingone]

BIRDY

[StookieBill]

@thestarlingone

...she tries too hard.

[ahny23]

nailed that he did

[charlieyoung94]

"Birdy" has taken this absolute tune and killed it

[DrMonkeez]

@charlieyoung94 its fuckin embarrassing isn't it. she's got a good voice, but its just over sung & melodramatic...

[zimmy81]

so good im speechless nearly, words aint enough, just heard the highest quality you can get, fuckin hell man ,makes life worth livin.

[LIAMB76]

tune! nuff said......well fuckin top top fuckin amazin tune!!!!.......nuff said

[mbgames73]

People help the people. (its all in the title) lovely

[mattmonroe]

missing the ghost and aldred.....stop playing with miles hunt chaps...

[Bigbadbraz1979]

Brilliant. Absolute genius.

[martini1294]

haha, the guy playing guitar is my substitute teacher XD

[iyakatie]

@martini1294 he was a sub for my geography class as well haha!

[tolstoythegreat]

I didn't know I was looking for this song untill I just found found it. Can't believe it's 4 years old.

[MrFabulous83]

One word: perfect. Any objections?

[carbonrough]

2 minutes too long !

[Pag134]

how doesn't this have more views

[Paddy9teen84]

THE. FUCKING. NUTS!!!

[detroitsocialclub09]

saw these/him support the coral the other week...hooked!! absolutely class. people were booing the coral and shouting for more cherry ghost..never experienced that before!! he once claimed he couldn't sing too! Listen to Black Fang if you get the chance...just amazing.

[skyboom64]

best song in the world. my daughter sings it to me over the fone. we live miles apart. it brings us together. this song is a priceless part of my life. thank you. thank you. thank you.

[Decorman55]

heycharlie.......you talk so much sense, you are spot on with your comments ! What a fabulous voice this bloke has got, awesome !

[dagnut]

This song makes me unbelievably homesick..

[darwindunn]

fantastic..genuine talent

[thassian]

Cherry Ghost are fantastic and deserve massive success, what a voice gets into your soul!!

[PrettyGreen1970]

Awesome. Simply awesome. Heartfelt lyrics, beautiful melodies and a unique voice. Sometimes music coarses through your veins and it is almost so real its tangible, you can feel it in your blood. This is one of those songs and oneof many by Cherry Ghost. Both their albums are essential listening and if you can see them live dont miss out.

[antrivers46]

Only came across this band recently thanks to the wonderful Bob Harris, but so glad I did. Astonishingly beautiful lyrics, as they are in kissing Strangers. Cant wait to see then in York in a few weeks. Genuine quality talent.

[karlmarx71]

Completely brilliant..........hats off to you guys who slam X factor and the likes....We should start a musical revolution to stop Cowell and his two bit cohorts from completely stealing real talent and spewing out 5 minute wonders with crappy cover versions. Cherry Ghost are awesome.

[viperman567]

love them been listening to them since 03 mathematics & 4 am,i think personaly he defo has a joe walsh sound to him? or is just me lol

[MutantHippie]

shit, first time hearing this and I gotta say this is totaly awesome10/10

[shadowpuppet89]

superhans peepshow?? anybody

[thescatterbrain123]

love his voice

[Mowzacakes]

I absolutely love this song but there is something about his voice that makes me think of Wallace Shawn, the bloke who voices Rex in Toy Story and Bertram in Family Guy.

[ROCKYMARCIANOXX0]

Just discovered Cherry Ghost. Really happy i'm a new found fan, cheers for posting this brilliant song matey.

[arizonabay15]

@ROCKYMARCIANOXX0 Welcome aboard, my friend.

[davidcranston]

love Cherry Ghost.

[agnesweet1508]

one of the most beautiful songs ever....

[tommyldavis1]

FUCKING OUTSTANDING !

[jooopwooop]

wow, that guitar got the goosebumps out!!

[maggie55100]

Saw them in Liverpool & Manchester brilliant !!! Money from the sale of their merchandise went to Help the Aged.

[Wearenotreallyhere]

They're not under rated at all, not by those of us who know a great song when we hear one ! I'm glad all the spoon fed numpties aren't in on it ! :-)

[frankieiero4eva1]

jim on the guitar is my history teacher lol it wierd to see him like this XD

[skinner768]

@frankieiero4eva1 ur history teacher is awesome, i had this shitty old bitch as my teacher lol

[frankieiero4eva1]

@skinner768 i know lol he did send me to sleep going on about stalin tho many times lol

[skinner768]

@frankieiero4eva1 lol is he still a teacher at ur school?

[frankieiero4eva1]

@skinner768 at college lol and no not anymore he left to release the album and tour

[skinner768]

@frankieiero4eva1 ah right soz didnt know how old u were lol

[frankieiero4eva1]

@skinner768 its ok :)

[tomastag1]

just.. Incredible

[rehan71080]

What an incredible song.

[DiamondWarrior]

Might get a bit more recognition that it deserves after being used on X Factor tonight..

[richardkreb]

2nd coming of Peter Gabriel anyone?? awesome stuff!!

[xkurodax]

I saw these guys at latitude 07, loved their music bought the album as soon a I got home :) x

[CaptainOatwright]

great song, and great album esp. Mathematics and Thirst for Romance. Looking forward to the new album.

Totally underated band.

[PeanutDispenser]

This really isnt so great.

The lead's voice cracks quite abit

its just seems odd, that the other instruments are so quiet, it makes the voice sound weak.

=/

Cherry Ghost actually kick ass

[patpigeonboy]

I thought that was a solid performance. Maybe his voice quavers slightly on the "Peeeeeeeeople" lyric, but otherwise it was pretty replicative of the recording.

[Pelto6]

awesome song!

[JuiceMonkii]

Such a beautiful voice.

[KillswitchxRobb]

The guitarist was my substitute teacher today :D

[heycharlieimpregnant]

This is QUALITY. The fact that these guys aren't recognised the world over for their immense talent is a sign of our times. The shallow, talentless, pop star, x-factor type people take away the livelihoods from the TRUE talent that walk our streets who gig day in, day out to earn a crust. This country should be ashamed of it's gullible nature.

[JuiceMonkii]

I agree so so so much. I guess it's more cos' they're not trendy. Such a talented lyricist.

[yellowhammer200]

@heycharlieimpregnant you are soo right it is untrue,i actually clapped my hands and applauded your comment,spot on mate.I posted a comment recently on such X-factor "song",Alex Burkes soulless rendition of Hallelujah,a song done incredible justice by Jeff Buckley's heartbreaking version,yet the young generations sucked in by this whole X-factor crap will never hear it..same with Cherry Ghost..such an injustice and a waste of REAL talent.

[backinstrachan]

@heycharlieimpregnant I prefer it this way. Its not my loss. Love Cherry Ghost so much, would hate to see them go mainstream. Have you heard their new album yet?

[onthedole74]

@backinstrachan yep,another masterpiece!!!

[tasharch]

@heycharlieimpregnant I always think this song is about people like Simon Cowell who have "a brain" and get rich through exploiting weak and lame people who don't know any better.

[coops1964golf]

@heycharlieimpregnant

never a truer word said....

[chrisaldred53]

@heycharlieimpregnant good man!

[highwireman]

there was a version of this went up on their myspace shortly after this was released. it was like this (i.e. stripped down) but with the string section from the album version tied in with re-jigged lyrics. it should be illegal to rule this much.

[lucariokid13]

Wow, these guys are so amzing, one of the best band of all time and they have The best debute album ever =). Makes u proud to come from Manchester.

[highwireman]

i'll drink to that.

[DeNiallF]

Makes you proud to come from Manchester because they're from Bolton?? lolol

[lucariokid13]

go on there myspace, they call themselves manchester ;)

[inspiredprophet]

good old Bolton boy :)

[saj1702]

good tune but he looks a bit constipated when he sings lol

[violeta9109]

alguien sabe si salió en algun capitulo de smallville?, porque si no ha salido es una lástima ya que le queda al pedo. ta chida la rola aunque se parezcan a coldplay.

[elivelton79]

Beautiful song. Thanks for posting mate.

[adamalfy]

amazing

[corpseinyourbathtub]

It's Mr. Magoo!...

... Ignoring the fact that this song is extraordinarily good.

[millenniumraf]

this guy can really sing!

unlike loads of so called artists,this man gives shivers down the spine because he's worked his ass off on music his whole life and didn't get success for a couple of nice buns...

long live real musicians...

[itsmeconor]

What an amazing song

[willy3121]

Even better than it sounds on the album. Not having drums really brings out the intimacy of this song.

[matty4113]

Awesome song.

[CHUPACHIEP]

His "performers face" reminds me of Harry Solomon =).

Anyway: beautiful song, but I prefer the studio version.

[saqibakascarface]

Nice song great performance!

[Waiting7up]

Greenfield would you help me????????

[heyaevery1x]

i notice how high he holds his guitar! :) prety high! but eh, whatever works for him! :)

[xjaycazx]

Love the song. This is the worst version I've heard though............

[drix01]

Any shit given to cherry ghost will result in the boys coming around to sort your shit out

pricks

[diving22]

too much !

[GabboVive88]

bravo cherry...veramente bravo...veramnte una bellissima canzone...

[SkagTrendy333]

wow!!! what a brill live performance!! very moving song

[mastamove]

Love this track and nothing wrong with him or his voice!

[Terraky]

it's great to see other mature artists than those who are 18 or 20 years old

[heyaevery1x]

he looks live james dean bradfield when he sings! lol!

[mostyn0707]

and theres nothing wrong with that! :)

[heyaevery1x]

there is nothing wrong with him singing here! simon has a beautiful voice and is really good live! i saw them withe the manic street preachers a few weeks ago!

[TomUK7]

...god knows what is hidden in those weak and sunken eyes,

a fiery throng of muted angels giving love and getting nothing back...

...when you're saying goodbye you got a look in your eye like you wanna say 'hi'...

points scored for naming the second song lyric!

[darrencampbellmcr]

elliott smith our kid

[bertramweinbach]

10 out of 10! Congratulations you win this months prize! A hearty pat on the back! rip elliot

[FelixN]

it seems as though "19eighty4" has never heard of cherry ghost before seeing this video...poor thing :)

[sillysedative]

this guy always sings like that its one of his charms and i think he sounds better live and if you dont like it just shut up and dont ruin other peoples enjoyment

[19eighty4]

This live version is awful - why's he singing through his nose?

[14minti14]

this sounds exactly (well almost) the same as the racord.

And its not awful. so fuck off

[chebss]

good song

[Nextmullen]

he looks like daniel craig

[JutaraiLester]

sucking vinegar hard

[pixieeater]

haha jimmy carr?!

[mostyn0707]

God I love this song, my spine it is a tingling

[sancal12]

love this song was on the radio all the time during the summer in Italy

[johnstonf1973]

very good..nice lyrics and awesome melody

[prospicente]

one of best songs of my life! ;-)

[alfissimoGT]

beautiful song!!!!!

[MattJ155]

I know Jim Rhodes- the guitarist. He used to be my history teacher lol!

[jimbob150555]

Knew Cherry Ghost from Uni - check song on my page 'With you without me'

[xjaycazx]

Thought it was Athlete when I first heard this song. Much prefer the acoustic version to the single. Brilliant.

[Diisafatslag]

jvb

[gertlush101]

gr8 absoluotly amazing voice

[xcollidex]

He is absolutley fantastic live!

[celticsoulboy]

Another excellent vocal - and the depth and arrangement of the backing is very impressive - Simon seems very nervous and you forget how new all this must be - his voice reminds me of Neil Young but with a bit more depth and character - I hope there's a lot more from these guys - one of the few acts to watch at the moment...

[broomheadface]

they are fantastic. to write an album without a single weak track, and with so much variation is incredible. they dont just write slow gentle songs either, they write mid-tempo and upbeat. the mark of a great band. best album ive bought in yonks!

[elzki]

his eyes lmfao

[gormanmeister]

this is truly a great song by a vastly underestimated band - the press have been very mixed about their album Thirst for Romance but it is excellent so good luck to Simon and the crew

[mavisbickle]

Thanks Mr Aldred and band. Best stuff I've heard in a long long time, beautiful lyrics, soulful voice.

[rzeznikzpoludnia]

This is pure beauty. One of the bests song I have heard recently. They rule LIVE.

[babelbrother]

I die happy if I ever wrote a song half as good as that

[stu808]

What a beautiful song. As is Mathematics and Dead Mans Suit. The album is stunning. Great band....bravo!!!

[riktimmy]

Absolutely stunning and breathtaking. So beautiful, deserve to be huge all over the World, love them!

[necromancer2005AD]

Reminds me somewhat of Ian Gillan vocally.

[guitarmarama]

if thats the guy from deep purple you're talkin bout, must admit i dont really see it, i spose atmospherically he captures the same sort of mood with his voice which is kinda cool, genre-crossing considering!

[willcrisp101]

lol saw them back in the day when they wernt very well known

[somescobe]

i am actually obsessed with this song @ the mo... its unfucking believable

[PlymouthSpur]

Brilliant song and a lovely bloke. I met Simon just now at the Maker Festival, well I say met I drunkenly staggered over to him, offered my hand to shake and complemented him on the set he played :)

[indiana3]

Like paulo.. nah, not at all. Great song though

[allinwith2s]

this song has really got my attention the last while, brilliant live aswell!! does any1 think he sounds like paolo nutini singin at all?

[TomGreenUK]

Brilliant musicianship.

[LeightonJimbo]

Absolutely brilliant.

[thom7776]

great song

[Rabekah17]

Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful music. Beautiful performance =]

Blatently THE best version of People Help The People!

I could listen to it over and over again =]

Along with Four Eyes :D x

[celticsoulboy]

I agree - Four Eyes is a lovely track and a fabulous vocal - should be listed alongside under Cherry Ghost Live - in Birmingham.

[SureFineWhatever]

Can these guys do no wrong?

[stu808]

Damn it!! I saw he was in Manc tonight but couldnt get a ticket. Got the album and fell in love with it straight away. Also got a great review in Q magazine, and quite rightly too. If you searched for this on youtube then you know that this is just the beginning. What a Fantastic singer.. they got a page on myspace aswell with loads of info on it.

[serenddu]

Saw them at the RNCM gig in Manch and at the Barfly in Liverpool...both brill gigs but totally different.One in a small sweaty club...the other a swanky concert hall.

Even managed a chat and photo with Simon after the gig.....great down to earth friendly bloke !

Ditto the other band members who were happy to gab to members of the clan .

Good on ye lads !

[Jb4drummer]

yeh verry bunnymen like track. Going seeing these guys tonight in Manchester, anyone else coming?

[EVERTONIC]

beautiful in a bunnymen kinda way

[BigArris73]

This People, is b - eautiful. It's soaked through into my brain - and is most welcome there. Loved their cover of Black Parade on Radio 1 recently.  Thank The Universe for Cherry Ghost...

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

we sit and moan wats happeing to music uv got all ya wee gays buying that rap pish because wen the sun shines blah fucking blah gimps get a grip

[gerryodonnell1977]

Here Here! or should that be HAIL HAIL???

[bridgetjanejones]

Looks like this dropped out of the 'top' 40 today - went in at 27 last week. Criminal. I agree with weston271074. The song about the umbrella - total crap - but then it's accompanied by a video with lots of gyrating accompanying the crappest of songs EVER (well, maybe Two Little Boys was marginally worse)There's no justice.

[xLGFilmsx]

What a song.

[Bomby88]

Amazing, I remember watching this but I couldn't remember the name of the song and was guted! So glad to hear it again.

[xoxoxAngelxoxox]

This song's amazing- love it! xxxx

[weston271074]

Just listened once more and it makes you wonder about the state of the top 40!

Rihanna can stick that umbrella where the sun dont shine.

This track should be a UK number one!

[pmeadows34]

I saw this last night on Youtube by chance, never heard of the band. Put on the radio this morning and they are on jonathan Ross. Love the song and fate takes a hand in leading me to buy the album today.

[weston271074]

Great great moving song but he looks like a cockle picker from Morcombe bay!

Vinegar, vinegar, vinegar!

[Jutarai]

c em d sounds ok when i play it that way maybe its not spot on but its ok, let me know if you figure out a better way

[adalkana]

yeah is a good song but his face annoys the hell out of me, dont take things so seriously,i see passion when i can look into someones eyes cant do that here.

[columbia45]

you complete weirdo... we all know it's a gd song, adalkana was just trying to lighten the sombre mood. to say something like that is pathetic...

[danidavis07]

Omg 'adalkana'. Now firstly, you're clearly a prick. Secondly, he obviously hasn't got vinegar in his eyes ... its a thing called PASSION. And thirdly, you're a complete c*nt who should die. This man has written one of THE most beautiful songs EVER and all you do is slate his passion and AMAZING performance. I hope something bad happens to you, you complete tw*t.

[purpledserex]

brilliant tune that just grows and grows on you, cant wait till the albums out!

[mabbzz07]

mr ghost is on the jo whiley show doing a live lounge tomorrow after 12 dont miss it!!!!

[cjtc74]

Absolutely top quality song. Even better than Mathematics.

[foxycutty]

lovely song!

[adalkana]

great song but the singer looks like hes got vinegar in his eyes?

[talkychris]

Blew me away even more than Yellow by Coldplay did when it was released. Quality.

[tedtanglewood]

absolute corker!!!!!!!! heard this on Zane Lowe a while back and was singing it all the while i was at isle of wight festival with mates. Waht are the chords i NEED to learn this tune!!!!

[f3nderbass]

words cannot describe how brilliant this song is, if it does not go to number 1 it will truly be a travesty! can't wait for the album

[jayoasis]

Came across this song today.... FANTASTIC! no matter what some reviews say its fantastic and has Johnny Cash written all over it. True, heartfelt genius.

[chrisaldred53]

Thanks again for all these comments...Simon is bowled over by the reaction this tune is getting

[KarlosTrfc]

Top class best thing to come out of Manchester since oasis!! been on BBC radio 2 playlists for the last 6 weeks

[sparky541]

heard this on radio wondered who it was and then saw them on glastonbury bbc coverage-class

[dikiminster]

Wishful4love...yes! Ive been saying that to people too. Joe walsh it is. ;-D

[bridgetjanejones]

Brilliant. Absolutely. search Dave Matthews "the space between" very similar. Only this is better:-)

[curriedmussels]

amazing song...saw it on bbc 2 like 30 mins ago. Nearly as good as Good Charlotte...nearly
