I love this song, but I can't get it! Not available for purchase in any normal, band-supporting way in the US. I can't even watch this video on my iPhone, only here at YouTube. Why so restricted?
saw them supporting buffalo tom at portsmouth and they were unbelievable then saw them on some saturday morning kiddies prog playing their single - not the right place for a great band :( they should've sacked the record company!!
I went to a Shed Seven gig in about 1998/99 and Puressence were supporting. I remember hearing this song and thinking "these guys are going to be massive!!!" Disappointed they were not bigger as this was a class tune!!!
This band missed greatness by a whisker. Think the drummer broke his arm around the time this song was hitting quite big, so they couldn't promote it properly. Have seen them live twice in a venue that doesn't befit their stature. Only forever is still in my top 5 Albums of all time. Cliche I know, but all killer, no filler. Gonna miss them.
Just meant their time is coming. Saw them at Cardiff Barfly last year. And the staff actually cut the bands power b4 the set was over. They had hit 10pm and it was time to let in the NUS card carrying students for the Indie disco. Kinda crystallized where the band is unfortunately heading.
Keane?! Are you kidding me?? These guys mean business, Keane are bunch of no feeling tossers. How the hell can you can compare this pure class to that shite?
I was in this video, standing at the top of the wall of death with my wife. A large group of fans were invited to join in and we got picked up by minibus from a tube station one rainy weekday night in London.
Great fun and a great band. Th new album is fantastic!
The band had to mime to the song being played a double speed. That's how the effect of them singing normally and us in slow motion was done. They obviously dubbed in a studio version of the song when they made the video.
The bikes were very loud - we were in a warehouse so the noise really echoed around.
A fantastic track from an amazing band! How Puressence aren't better known and more appreciated is a crime. The new album's out now btw and is a corker!!
Puressence are very well known in Greece! Probably their best song along with ''drop down to earth'' from the forthcoming album. Can't wait to see you lads back in Athens!!!
Searched high and low for the CD single when it was released back in 98. Got one in the end. Simon Mayo was plugging it like crazy. You guys should have been massive. The music biz sucks.
a perfect, soaring pop song and a superb video. Puressence are still cherished by those lucky enough to discover them. Thanks for reminding me how great they are.

Compare the video to Alice in Chains' 'I stay away'. The wall of death = a great motif for rock songs.
