Starsailor - "Good Souls"

[djgforce11]

When I listen 2 pop this is what I wanna hear!

[Mhebner23]

I saw Starsailor in concert back in 2002 when they were part of the MTV Campus Invasion Tour. Starsailor performed on the MTV2 stage. They were awesome! Good Souls is what they closed with.

[davyboy176]

just another one Melissa , you have a good soul, and i love it, babe, 244242

[U80jake]

my favorite band



[lyonslaforet]

Starsailor's Love Is Here is one of the most important albums released in 2001.

[DaVahos91]

excellent music! ^_^

[TheStasihart]

another much too underrated band...they just don't write this way anymore...

[magiknumber3]

@TheStasihart i agree with that too!.... james walsh was and is s till fab!.... we need roots styles bands... they becoming far and few between nowadays.....

[Grower55]

Perfection....

[pbg98pbgpbg98pbg]

I am a Rastafarian woman, and I love this song. I think its deep!

[gerard79]

here is a band that could have been huge. great sound. awesome melody.  james' vocals are killer...similar to jeff buckley. he has talent. i hope they get back together someday and write a killer album. i saw them at their first show in new york city..it was unreal.

[506jimbob]

awsum! and he started as a busker!

[lakotasue]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this SONG!

[axegrindr9]

10 Stars

[manicstreetcabbie1]

seen these boys live ,they frigging awsum

[jdm8080]

What a lovely song,......I didn't even really like it at the time, but it makes you think about the few decent people you will ever meet in your life.

[cripplecrowchris]

i like the lighting job they've done in this video.. makes me wish i could just go to some studio and ask them to show to me how it's done! ..and then play around with it!

but yes. wonderful song, the video takes back..

[jgjsaukrapids]

Sounds a little like The Verve.

[frankgallagher5]

This song its very old...maybe 8 years??? or more???ITS A GREAT BAND... ITS A GREAT TUNE!!!

[jasonkucherawy]

@frankgallagher5 A very old song? You're obvously a child... but you have great taste in music! ;-)

Check out Embrace, Monster Movie, the Verve, and Chapterhouse.

Cheers!

[zanec1211]

I saw this guy do a solo show here in Portland OR, and he gave a helluva performance.

[philmonroe]

That first album was so damn !!!!GOOD!!!! After that I dunno, I just didn't 'feel' the other albums like this one. The other albums aren't as raw and fresh feeling as this one was a/o is I guess I should say. One of the best records ever produced is this one ^^

[catnip712]

*clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

i can clap through the whole 4 minutes and 39 seconds of this song.

[DarkBill13BIS]

14 people must open the voice so can listen the music

[Asofiro]

@DarkBill13BIS loser idiot

[coltsuperocean10]

....one of those heart warming simply stunning songs... Starsailor are an amazing band!! Best of British along with Doves, Elbow and Shack...all brilliant song smiths!!

[sloanr12]

this song is wonderfully uplifting after a few bad days. good souls should be more abundant around us

[analarrondo]

gran canción del love is here... excelente grupo!!!

espero algun día escucharlos en vivo...

[MyRobertx]

ke chingon

[MyRobertx]

muy buena cancion

[mandi730]

Never heard of them. Got the Osbournes Family Album and found myself listening to this track over and over. Love Ozzy but this was the best on the CD.

[Einherjan]

This band is amazing. This guy's range is soooo freaking awesome.

Plus they are using Tim Buckley's best album as their name, too. Tim's Jeff Buckley's father.

[zanec1211]

@Einherjan

You should check out Jimmy Gnecco and his band OURS. Jimmy picks up where Jeff left off, and I don't say this lightly, I loved Jeff. If you get a chance, listen to the Distorted Lullabies album from OURS, you'll see what I mean.

[guruofgood]

tell me.?.is this the best band on earth?...right now!..i think maybe so!

[darkpladian]

justin bieber is popular and this guy isnt ? wtf is up with our planet ....

[revdishydave]

his dad was my headteacher!?!?!??

[lynxsilverhawk]

Saw them in Concert in Murray KY WOOOTTT!!

[Mhebner23]

@lynxsilverhawk I was there too, it was awesome!

[angelizer999]

grandes momentos en mi vida vivi con esta banda tan intima.

[PhuckYou32]

I first heard this song when I was 12. I'm 20 now and it still brings a smile to my face. I love it.

[636Jambo]

How can a band be so under rated? Its sick! TALENT!

[TheFillmoreJive]

heard this song at Winger's yesterday eating all you can eat buffalo wings..mmmm...but I digress. The way the lyrics come in reminded me so much of Radiohead I had to check out the song again.

[dee123456989]

i love the way the pianist accidently drops his water bottle of the edge haha

[panzermort]

@dee123456989 accidentally on purpose you mean :P

[twiggers23]

fab stuff. reminds me of good times

[Itzpower]

I remember Mtv played this song a couple of times back around 2002. Not much really but it's a pretty good song. Stays with you.

[thevenezuelandude]

I listened this song on its Abbey Road version first time... just awesome both

[ixyplixy]

Underated band! Magnificent lyrics and a beautiful melody! Thank goodness for the good souls......

[katestudio]

Wonderful, Beautiful Song and Well Filmed, Kool Slick vid. LOVE IT!

[G0ggy]

Sublime, beautiful - I love it!

[blueskies66]

Truly, thankgod for the good souls who boldy show love.

[sloanr12]

saw them on "later with jools holland" just plain amazing

[theinck]

such an amazing singer. the music reminds me of the Australian band 'Motorace'. Silence is easy is a great album.

[jtwig]

ah I remember it well when this song came out and I instantly fell in love with Starsailor. This was my ring tone forever a while back....

[pieterm2001]

@jtwig same here

[lizziehunny14]

Can't wait to see them live!!!

[rkofan300]

im not saying this in a gay way but i love starsalor

[TentacleOne]

@rkofan300 hahaha wonderful. You made me laugh today.

[ATXviIIIe]

Saw these guys in Minnesota, USA....small club....so good.

[VanCityKyle]

I almost feel that they could of been as big as Coldplay if they were pushed in the right direction.. Who am i to judge? These guys are great!! Unsung heroes

[bryngOneOn]

@VanCityKyle I TOTALLY agree, the energy this band has is a cross between coldplay and oasis, which sounds like a bad thing and dosnt give the band the credit it should have, but you'd think theyd have been bigger for that reason alone and the songs are strong, but they're still a big group, i thnik maybe i like the fact they didnt take the next step up to the stadium rockers echelon

[ugrcmn]

i think wonderful ! music, lyrics ! awesome !

[alamrisa]

hair cut doesnt suit his wide face :l

[alamrisa]

great song

[WishboneAshman]

Hey! Go to" Later.....Jools Holland Starsailor Good Souls"........ Not very many views.......Awesome "Live" on stage!Check it out. Makes life matter.

[dvsxavier]

Feel sick after every meal, I say

'Cause I know the life from your burning wing, won't wait

Sleep, I sleep every day

Wipe the cobwebs away, I need to be loved

Christ I'm out of my mind,

I need to be loved, I need to be loved

So I turn to you and I say

Thank goodness for the Good Souls that make life better

So I turn to you and I say

If it wasn't for the Good Souls, life would not matter

[dvsxavier]

Dive straight in on your girlfriend

Making her feel like there's gonna be a war

Dive, straight in at the deep end,

Making you feel like there's gonna be a war

So I turn to you and I say

Thank goodness for the Good Souls that make life better

So I turn to you and I say

If it wasn't for the Good Souls, life would not matter

[dvsxavier]

One good day of the week and I'll be up again

One good day of the week I'll be higher than the Government

So I turn to you and I say

Thank goodness for the Good Souls that make life better

So I turn to you and I say

If it wasn't for the Good Souls, life would not matter

So I turn to you and I say

You're messing with a good heart

You've gotta take what's due

[ThePodarek]

I Love what you have done here, is it out of love for the song? what ever it is, thanks.

[VanCityKyle]

I am a grown up 27 year old with a great career and i live a productive life....

In 2002 when i first saw this video i was a 19 year old crystal meth addict who lived with his parents and had no job and my life was hanging by a thread, i watched this video on muchmusic and fell in love with it, because at the time i wasnt a good soul and drained life from my community... thank god that was just a stage but this song takes me back and reminds me that life is good now!!

[ThePodarek]

Bless you

[VanCityKyle]

Thank you so much Podarek... means alot mate!!

[Ereissimo]

You are most well come.

[ThePodarek]

You are most well come brother.

[ThePodarek]

@VancityKyle, I am sorry, Ereissimo is also my account, I have a problem with my youtube account that begun when They told me to change to google account. It means when I reply directly from yahoo mail, my user name changes. Any way, well done, and wisdom comes from defeating your challenges.

[panzermort]

@VanCityKyle good stuff

[jimmycocopop]

@VanCityKyle  hi kyle! i've just read your post. i'm so glad this song has helped you to get your life back on track! i suffer from depression and i've always been up and down with it. been having some dark times, recently and this is the song i always go back to! i see the real me, in this tune and those few, truely good friends, that i have. i try to play it, on my guitar, but always end up in tears! may your life stay on the rails, man! love to canada! i love it, there! :)

peace

jimmy x

[poopylinklvl1]

@VanCityKyle do i care:3

[60adl]

@VanCityKyle  Are you David Cameron perchance? Twat.

[VvAnarchangelvV]

@VanCityKyle

I doubt very much that a 19 yr old meth addict has the power to drain from society the way that wage slavery and the global corporatocracy can

Think back, and I expect you will find that your problems were paying rent and not having a job, problems that you would not have even in the properly maligned feudal system of the middle ages. How far we have fallen

[VvAnarchangelvV]

@VanCityKyle

Typical confession philosophy with not only the typical misplaced blame but the lowest common denominator of scapegoats, drugs.

Citizens' contribution to their society is variable, and the contribution of society to its citizens, typically negligible

[thekenzosh]

@VanCityKyle

Thank you so much for sharing this story...and thank g-d you are healthy. In 2006, I was near death, and in the hospital, and I was delirious for a few days, and this song was constantly in my head, and I swear, it helped me get well

[MrPolega]

This was part of my life in 2003 in USA,

Love it!

[lidd1982]

are starsailor still going as a band? releasing material?? been off my radar for about six years but an awesome band non the less!

[sanddownunder]

yeah, they are indeed! i´ve been to a concert a month ago and they published the last record this year! (all the good plans) ;)

[Mikebird59]

i really like this song; one of my faves, not a big Coldplay fan tho (someone I guess had referred to them as "gay" whatever the hell that means. I like some of their stuff but a friend of mine calls the "Coldturd"! LOL

[autumnkaine]

fuck i love this song so muhc :)

[TheArtPR]

this is cool

[samsblue]

for got how good this is..

[nidgybaby]

Indeed....thank goodness for the good souls.....

[CBoneSImWolf]

sound good but i prefer the song some of us it's deeper to me, but thanx for posting!!! :))

[amesmb]

I like this song. It's pleasant to listen to and a nice reminder as well....

[SimonFoston]

I find this song utterly miserable.

[Cailbrin]

A feel good song.....No more ,no less X

[SuperMackel]

i think chris martin is a cunt

[killerlipsonrai]

Radiohead was groundbreaking and paved way for many great bands today though many fail miserably trying too much to repeat Radiohead's success. In my opinion The Killers is the best band of our generation. No one quite like them. Awesome music. Awesome vocals. Awesome lyrics. Awesome live performances. My opinion only. 8]

[BeethovenAve]

I always though Goodsailor was trying to be more like Matchbox 20 rather than Radiohead.

[weedgieburd]

So I turn to you and I say,

You're messing with a good heart,

You've gotta take what's due.

[vamplouise]

Great tune!!

I went to college with them!!

[ksidemonslayer]

im soo jealous... they rock hardcore!

[toilanguoimy]

He kind of sounds like Bono in this.

[tripleleo]

Saw these guys in Boston last night. Great Show and very nice guys. Very humble in a good way, in fact, based on my simple expierience, I'd say they are 'good souls'

[Thanoulis131313]

Oasis>Kings of Leon>Stereophonics>Starsailor>­The Verve>Coldplay>>>>>>>>>>>>stup­id Radiohead

[dekyl935]

Starsailor>Oasis>Verve>Coldpla­y>Kings Of Leon>Radiohead>Stereophonics

[jimmygotups]

what are you? High?

[dekyl935]

No,it was a response to that guy.

[BestCoolGuy22]

Wow so absolutely incorrect.

Radiohead>Coldplay>Kings of Leon>Verve>Oasis

I don't know the stereophonics, so I can't really make a judgement.

[BestCoolGuy22]

Starsailor is right after KOL sorry lol.

[dekyl935]

Starsailor>Oasis>Verve>Coldpla­y>KOL(their last album was shit compares to their previous ones)

[Stellsailor]

starsailor are a good band but nothing speciial.

oasis were god and now crap.

theverve was a maybe the best band in 1997 but what else?

and coldplay is shit,they cant be compared with those.

radiohead is the best band in the world after 1997 and one of the best ever.

[dekyl935]

Radiohead,since Kid A,make only mediocre songs with boring melodies

[Stellsailor]

LMAO

well what else i can hope from someone who thinks coldplay are good haha.

hail to the thief is one of the best dark albums from alternative ever.remind pink floy,joy division.......go to learn something.

[dekyl935]

Coldplay are not one of my favourite bands,but they ARE good.Don't deny that.After the start of that new decade,radiohead stopped making masterpieces like Bends and OK Computer

[Stellsailor]

oh yea?and what abotu wolf at the door?

any of that gay bands currently could do a song like that than dark,psicodelic,great tone and better vocals that make us remind pink floyd just for mention one.

radiohead just change and if the people think that for stop to make comercial songs they are bad are really stupid.

wich master pieces?the singles?haha

[dekyl935]

Well,to end that story,Radiohead are a band full of songs with interesting themes and boring melodies,Coldplay are a gay but great band.

Radiohead have made history for bringing something new to music, Coldplay will make history for making gay songs less boring.

[Stellsailor]

okay end of the story but.

u can say that the melodies from radiohead are bored to you but dont generalize.

and coldplay wont make story.

[vivalavida814]

COLDPLAY ISNT GAY!!! good lord. im so tired of hearing that. they make rock songs that have meaning to them. thats not called gay, thats called intelligence!

[LowEndGroover]

In my opinion youre missing out. Music is not that simple. I see no validity in your comments. Coldplay may be shit to you, but not to me and Radiohead may be the best to you, but not to bob saget. Music is an expression that is interpreted differently by different people.Arguing defeats its purpose. I can tell you are not talking technicality here so you might as well be arguing over how food tastes.The number of times you tell someone a song sounds bad doesnt change the way it sounds to them.

[309633246]

nicely said

[nikon005]

@LowEndGroover Well said/written !

[G0ggy]

@LowEndGroover This is the best comment I have ever read on YouTube, and I would wager the best comment ever on music taste.

Well done.

[zseriiiiii]

@LowEndGroover And I have to say........nothing more! :)) This was the perfect description of music :)) (in my opinion)

[MUNKYBZ]

@LowEndGroover - Top comment mate. It's up there with a comment I read on Queen's - Flash video, regarding Dale Arden's "Flash, Flash, I love you. But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth". The comment read "typical women, the whole of Earth is going to be destroyed and she's prattling on about relationship issues".

[poopylinklvl1]

@LowEndGroover do i care:3

[G0ggy]

@LowEndGroover Bang on sir - great comment.

[robrocks34]

verve so much better than all the rest

[BestCoolGuy22]

You really think The Verve is better than Radiohead?

[robrocks34]

as far as playing live yeah i do dont get me wrong i do like radiohead but  live verve kick ass :)

[MariannabyMillais]

"I'll be higher than the government."

Love that lyric.

[jffournier]

A lot of people do. Can't pin down why, but it works.

[MariannabyMillais]

Yeah, I know.

[pusssssyyyyyy]

i still can't believe matthew jay is dead :(

[pieterm2001]

this is about life actually

[allypurvey]

James Walsh is about as charismatic as a fuckin jam rag.

[soulluva]

u b wrong my friend. He has huge presence and im sure a huge member!! x

[allypurvey]

I like Starsailor but don't be having a go at Noelie. Compared to the mighty Oasis they are a pile of shit. This is probably their best song and its fuckin average. Boneheads bank holiday is better than this and its a piss take. And I dont like that cunt now for speaking out about Spector. poof

[MoonchildTheKing]

Oasis is only a big pile of shit.

[ibrahimba2]

good song!!!

[bodom0593]

GREAT SONG!!!

[plasticpoetpopstar]

who 2 fuck r oasis?

[IronSight88]

One of my faves! ^_^

[sashacoe25]

kavacom even if i tried my little heart out i could never put it any better well done mate love ya

[kavacom]

what nosense your comments deliver.. nothing like oasis, oasis simply rip off the beatles and cash in on the vibe. Starsailor are an original outfit . compared to any of this genre i would say equal if not better in originality to richard ashcroft and the verve stuff.

[soulluva]

top comment. starsailor are by far more original and melodic than many of the ilk. James is more charismatic than either of the swaggering gallagher bros.

[MoonchildTheKing]

Yes, I totally agree.

[TheScourgeResistant]

There first album maybe...but the rest are no way competition to ashcroft and the verve.

[andybelloasis]

Sing Go Let It Out in the verse and chorus and its very very similar, same chords as the Oasis song.

[MiChPuNk]

So what´s your point? this song came out first, so... do the maths.

[northcountrybhoy]

lol i see your point but whats maths got to do with it!

Fuck oasis and there sampling.... they rip off so many bands not just even the beatles and the stone roses

[Laminateddeffect]

This song does remind me alot of Oasis, even the singer kinda resembles the gallagher brothers.......opr how ever the hell you spell their names!!

[Hateeternal2009]

:( this song reminds me of when i was stationed in england 8 yrs ago :( i'm a old crusty Tsgt now (27 not that old). I want to be a young airman again :(

[karadan100]

This is not not one of the best worst songs ever not created....Not.

[HornyLee19]

lay off the crack

[karadan100]

Crack is wack.

[pieterm2001]

what a great song and clip... i have version of this song called soulsavers remix, it''s awesome...

[oasisbabe123]

James Walsh told me he loved me!!

[soulluva]

oooo lucky you. he told me the same. x

[F2daD]

it to me seems that this song was made for Rodney on the rock.. ive seen mayor on the sunset strip,gr8 movie...gr8 song..

[TheGrizzLab]

I don't think I've heard I single Starsailor song that I didn't like so far.

[princemojorising]

Hated this song when it came out.....thought it was just a Buckley wannabe....but heard it the other day live.....awesome.

[injusadusa]

met the lads awesome live big in japan and europe

[skynett1000]

it's criminal these guy's are not more famous, they should be superstars.

[carolihun]

They are a brill group i saw them few years ago and he has a fab voice...and he is such a lovely person as i have met him.....lucky me!!

[ladydoe89]

it is unbelievable how beautiful this song is

[futha]

fantastic song

[manaledo]

surprising the're not bigger? check out Lobelia Sound a fave of theirs?

[constantinoplecat]

...i've seen them live too,they're very good,different but unnecessarily humble i thought...still,it's part of the charm i suppose

[pobgill]

Cant stop a person being humble. I seen them at v2001 late on the second stage before they had the album out and a lot of people standing in front of them. The singer was clearly overwhelmed emotionally....

It was nice to see an artist humbled

[KimIsMissing]

They should be more famous.... they're amazing.

[llcoolj111]

thank you! i've loved these guys for a while now. i guess the good thing is that they didn't get too big. the bad is that that also affects their income, ego, etc. bad timing that's all i think.

[HornyLee19]

i love this band. never been understood by lame mainstream followers. that's why i love this band even more so.

[mrstinkybum]

Excellent!

[adapterman2]

The tremolo in the guitar is wow....
