Dave

[dcmerritt333]

Just to say u are right Loretta did write this song - I have a huge stack of original signed CDs of this song gathering dust - but that's because I am Loretta's foster brother!!! Dave

[davieboykkool]

[captainsteve58]

[ikasawak05]

im rummaging through me cassettes right now.....dont know why i aint even got any decks...cock.

[artmaster2]

This what todays music should sound like with a bit of heart in .. T U N E B I G T I M E

[1FATPUG]

thisused to sound mint on a good car system, might have to dig my old cd`s out :-)

[mearcat74]

Strange but I loved this song and still now, the name of the song Is magical.

[voyager709]

lyrics are still uplifting

[BlackBuckOne]

Classic Simenon track, this guy was the master of the breakbeat, with his fused samples and underlying Hip-Hop beat. He was way out on his own leading the pack.

[CosmicKaizer]

This is one of my vinyl singles i´ve bought.

Great. Thx for upload!

[Domwith5ms]

oh dear god thats rubbish!

[chucku00]

A big influence for Anggun's "Snow on the Sahara"

[BTAT433]

in the midle of the nintiees . . .

never forget

the time has gone

the music is still alive

[TalosIIII]

Just perfect then, now and forever...

[richardcsv]

best bit 2:38

[smurfy1010]

Absolutely love this!!!

[MajicTV]

Brilliant tune, song and is that 'dub' up there wirth 'Higher than the Sun' Primal Scream all time classic.

Majic.

[motownsoulboy]

got this on 12 wasnt it recorded in some kinda new stereo have to get record out sounds real good on here

[jejdu]

one of the best song ever.

[Poul0py]

Bomb the bass rules !!

[svenalbert]

memories from -91.. good ones..

[cc6482]

To those of you who like this song, check out "Keep Giving Me Love", also by Bomb The Bass". The vocals were again sung by Loretta Heywood. The video is on Youtube.

[breadman72]

lyrics excessively imbued with a heavy metaphor, if i was to be uber-critical. As a tune of pioneering quality its depth of simplicity was unrivaled. I love it!

[wozza73]

i agree great tune great memories

[pritch2k6]

top memories & top toone , top upload dude ,

[andabouttimetoo]

fantastic production

[royalsteven]

Mannn listen how deep the bass sound. I heard the Chemical Brothers once say they were jealous of low they could make it. I can understand.

[cooperman95]

a beautiful song

[snapcrackleandpop99]

the gay djs in my country really loved this song.

lulluzzyluz

[adeofspades1]

btw who is the vocalist-any ideas anyone? Is she mixed race(I love) or white(I love as well)? Just curious thats all

Ade

[Kilala700]

she looks black to me.

[SweetLadyMuck]

The vocalist on this song (Winter In July) is 'Loretta Heywood' she co-wrote it too, great voice!! :-)

[najchi]

uau, I was natural blond then....

[WaterboyPhx]

OMG!! I thought this song was basically lost in my head/memory. I heard it when I was in Scotland, so the title is kinda appropriate. MANY props for posting!!

[leeperkins450000]

not 1988

[leeperkins450000]

1991

[sepul071200]

20 yrs old....wow, its like yesterday this was out to me.....fuking classic!!

awesome!

[shirescrane]

AMAZING TRACK...........

[lb8978]

Brilliant song

[jellyeee23]

noooooooooooooooooooooooommmmm­mmmmmmmmm

[uncledirtyy]

Today on my way to work I listened to old cd with this song on it. Great! I remembered I used to listen others from BtB also.

[chucku00]

a big inlfuence for anggun's snow in the sahara

[bushwacka1980]

Cant believe this is almost twenty years old now! Still sounds so fresh.

[adeofspades1]

I can remember this song like it was yesterday. i sound like an old fart!! watched it on vhs and thought it was much more mature than "beat dis" although that was pure class as well

[magpiej23]

Lol

I agree, pretty difficult to worry about the lyrics when the singer's this hot!

[hub1971]

don't know about the lyrics, but back in the day i thought the vocalist was a total fox. great tune thanks for posting X

[porno6361]

it is winter in july in auckland,nz

[DenzelLockheart]

I prefer Sarah Brightman's version but this version still rocks!!!! Play it on a HUGE stereo, it will send shivers down your spine.

[MoleinaHole]

This song changed my life. It came out at just the right time for me and just said what I needed to hear. I know I sound like a poncy cow but I swear it's true! Love it now still.

[phatbusted]

Does that mean Ur still a MoleinaHole now still ? :3

[MoleinaHole]

Only on VERY bad days! ;-]

[DanBtje]

You are right. But it's a difficult subject and I just wanted to give a short answer to that question. Actually right now most people have to suffer because of the crisis that is going on. And we can not deal with it, it's something some people have created. But still we have to think positive,because life is way too short.

[HippyJohnWales]

Has anyone listened to the words and message? Why are we Fighting each other?

[DanBtje]

I think it's not about fighting each other, but about making the best of your life no matter in what circumstances you have become on this world. Try to live like you wish to do and have fun, because life can be mean.

[HippyJohnWales]

Yes, I agree, but instead of making our own choices we allow others to make them for us and take no responsibility. Life's too short to continuously live in the past with generations of hatred. Carpe Diem and enjoy it without hurting others. It's not life which is mean, it's People.

[DanBtje]

And think of all the people whose life has changed in the past during great wars, who couldn't live their dream. It's something we as individuals cannot fight against. Mankind hasn't learned about the mistakes from the past. And it's important for each individual to do the things one has always wanted to do without taking respect for each other, because may be there is no tomorrow and you haven't completed your own mission. So enjoy it every day you can.

[DanBtje]

I can't help wondering, did you knew what the lyrics was about? Take care now.

[theifchaser]

F""k I haven't heard this for years! Sounded better on the old sony walkman. Hmm,I wonder what other random old school is on this site?

[blueandy99]

you forget just how good an album is when you dont hear it for 15 years!

I used to work as a lifeguard and before the pool opened we used to whack this tape(!) over the PA at full blast, jeez the acoustics were dynamite and it sends shivers down my spine just remembering.

Awesome, just simply awesome.

[493166]

I like it!

[Ponylove42]

I like the song but I prefer Sara Brightman

[yorge86]

Awesome!

[mum2bagain]

this video really takes me back to when i was 15 - great then and it still is now!!

[arita2006]

love this song

[zionic144nz]

This used to always take me 2 another place.

still does

[7lartceps]

Beautiful track,makes feel,makes me think.

[Daggerbone]

As much of a classic as Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy,timeless chilled trip hop for want of a better genre, great pop, so far ahead of its time, nearly 20 years old and as fresh as next week !!

[pharcyde110573]

I've been in love with Loretta Heywood for so long....what's she doing now?

[vvt23]

This takes me back. Still sounds brilliant.

I'm gonna have to make sure i check them out at the big chill next week. =)

[Katsujinken1]

Awesome tune, and missed greatly....

[Monkeyzor]

Loretta Heywood is hot!

[nomadnorway]

HONESTLY...is there really a better chill/ pop track out there.... Im a Dj soon 40 still think this and his cover version of say a little prayer is the best fucking ballad... chill.... groove in history.... and I play and love everything from folks music to the super deep underground sick stuff.. love you Tim Simmenon aka Bomb the Bass...

[elefou]

You're right,I think BTB's version of "say a little prayer" is way better than original. And Tim is the nicest person in show biz,trust me ;)

[RICAFRUTA]

Sarah Brightman´s cover of this song is in her La Luna album...its somewhat different. But the originals are always better.

[wozza73]

havent heard this 4 a while thanks

[tenerife134]

beautiful..

[gandhilovesflipflops]

one of my all time favorites, great arrangement, very soul stirring lyrics and vocals. Thanks for the upload.

[pharcyde110573]

thank you so very much!!!! for posting this

[tenerife134]

my now wife and myself were courting when this was in the charts , love her madly , thanks for the posting.

[hermiusz]

When I was a 18, heard this music...since search. I find it now! Thank you!!!:)(sorry, my bad english)

[awayswinger]

Is that Maurine Walsh on vocals?? nice vocal reverse stabs! they had "dune buggy attack on the B side of this" any one know where i can find it??

[XBONNE]

Actually now having listened to it again the lyrics are probably more relevant than back then lol.

[XBONNE]

Good posting, thanks.

This came out when I first went away to sea on my first ship, a super tanker. Was just a kid then and the lyrics made a lot of sense to me, they re-assured me. An uncertain but great time.

Thks

Alex

[willpowerlove]

Yesss! Amazing that after 17 years this song still sounds this good. It was so ahead of its time, I loved it then and I love it even more now I understand the significance of the lyrics. The 90s was such a great era for conscious electronica and dance music!

[liamjmartin]

this is one of my all tiime favourite songs...stunning...

[masterliver101]

have been after this for ages. great track.  had the album for ages then moved house and lost all my records. gutted. brings back happy memories do bomb the bass

[jezroller3]

Yeah but listening to the song now feels very different to when I first heard it

[bushwacka1980]

Fine tune from 1991

Apparently this was the first song to use 3d stereo technology! Old hat now....

[DJBrokenHigh]

Great song! 5 stars

[mrmukura]

Long time favourite of mine, good posting thank you. Bomb the bass's second album - "Unknown Territory" 1991, I still have it on tape

[doglass3]

Great track, do it in Body balance, Tai Chi

[POOHFISH1]

[royalsteven]

Classic. And that great bass can it get any deeper?

[ColdBloodedCarl]

"Bom the base"... very clever guy writing the titles... :-)

[KlaxonCow]

All your bass are belong to us. ;D

[c6482]

I wish someone would upload "Keep Giving Me Love" again. It used to be on here and it is just as good as "Winter In July". Anyone else got it?

[jessiemumm]

[mgdrive]

Does it ever! - where have those years gone?!

[itshouldntbeallowed]

Looking for "Braindead"...

[Proarckattack]

Beat Dis und Say a little Prayer sind für mich die besten Teacks von Bomb the Bass

melodic sounds fit always in a good composition. TIM SIMENON. Ur my Hero.

[mgdrive]

massively underheard song well posted. Awesome gets you thinking of the past

[magomusiikki]

It`s been so long time, thanks for posting this awesome dance track!!!!

[w0lf6pack]

Still feel a bit mellow after hearing (and after a fair long time also seeing) this, so thx for sharing :)

First heard this track when it was just released and later on the megablast rap! Was kinda flabbergasted.

[4296481]

brilliant, thanks for posting.

[oicyann]

真砂さん　いい曲ですね

[lee8131]

stands the test of time tim was the master crafter

[jonboysliberty]

amazing song video and lyrics, my fave song of the 90's, makes me feel sad when I am feeling low, makes me think of good and bad memories of my childhood, cheers for sharing this on the site.

[trouduc00]

i know this song since it has been released an only today i remark a song with the same kind of feeling - not the same music - it's snow on the sahara by anggun

more mainstream but quite close

[morningsnoopy]

this was like a premonition from that time to where the world is today xxx we've learnt nothing.

[itshouldntbeallowed]

there's always been shit going down, then, before then, now, always.

[Kevgee1976]

Superb!

[urssus101]

I love that song , thanks sooo much for posting that one , hugs from Brazil

[wendigirl07]

nice lyrics , stand tha test of time .

[moonfloated]

Great video !!! Super great song !!!!

One of my best favourites from the whole 90's !!!

Tim Simenon and this girl had it all !!!

[mamafoto]

One of my favourite songs...

Hey Tim, DON'T MAKE US WAİT for some new, great and everlasting sounds!!!

[maxpolokov]

Awesome to see and hear this again! The vinyl i had has long since gone :(

The first time i heard this, was actually on tv, in the BBC science show 'Tomorrows World', where Tim was demonstrating some new kind of 3D panning technique he was using in the mixing of this track.

Fantastic!

[nyana73]

Garyelise, same for! Got the 12", never put it away... love this tune to much for it.

[ipul26]

CAN YOU GUYS POST ONE OF THEIR HITS CALL,"SAY a LITTLE PRAYER",BY BOMB THE BASS,appreciate greatly thanks.

[darrenfm]

Why don't you ever hear this played on the radio anywhere? Excellent tune!

[gatos1309]

Fantastically haunting track. Reminiscent for me of a song from around the same period, 'Only You' by Praise. Anyone remember that one?

[toneskill1970]

who the singer and how old is she now?

[Tabometer]

It is Loretta Heywood from UK. Guess she is around 40 years now.

[garyelise]

12" vinyl has never left my collection....fantastic

[wohlford1]
