Prefab Sprout - Carnival 2000

[hairycub69]

I was 21 years old when the allbum "Jordan: The comeback" was released. I still listen to it now 21 years later.....the lyrics in the second verse of this song are just beautiful (O;

@sproutnet This seems to be a home video (VHS) recording, yet the sound seems to good for an old videotape, assume it's been sync'd to a decent audio using a record. Well done.

Cool music we play, how very true paddy.

[Jonathankydd]

brilliant

[blknik]

Criminally underappreciated band!

[NorthernFella]

[leadingflyght]

it is very simple , they wrote all to be said



[daselektroklang]

What the hell happens on today's music? I miss genious like paddy.

[sproutyDP]

When Paddy said " probably the greatest songwriter on the planet" he wasn't taking the piss was he ?

[ziAIDANATORiz]

my dad loves this music and this is my favourite of their songs

[miasmiles]

One of the best tunes from one of the best albums of all time!

[zz1tag]

Cool music we play, dance e dizer

Carnival 2000 : Carnaval 2000:

Lives come and go but life no denial Vidas que vêm e vão, mas a negação da vida não

Is always in style. Está sempre em grande estilo. welcome to : welcome to:

Carnival 2000 : Carnaval 2000:

Loves come and go but love above all Amores vêm e vão, mas o amor acima de tudo

nessa letra e bem poetica o refrao eu adoro eles!!!!

[mjraffe]

great memories always got my spirits up when i was feeling down.

A song saluting the close of the 20th century seven years before it's over? "Tonight let's raise a glass, my friend, to those who couldn't make it...We ask for any wrong we've done, the years ahead forgive us; we ask for any good we've done, may all of it outlive us." Who else but Paddy McAloon could deliver such a poignant eulogy? It's the first prayer on Jordan:TCB, and it sets the stage for the Jesse James Symphony and the magnum opus on Side 4. Great stuff- but why are their videos so lame?!

[kidderminsterbro]

the musical genius of Paddy McAloon and his Prefab Sprout cohorts is first and foremost great music.

when the music is this good it is so difficult to match it up within the video format.

for me a video many times detracts from hearing the intricacies of the musical composition.

seeing and hearing the live performance is my favorite style of video.

support live music while we musicians are alive.

once we leave this earth only the recordings and video's are available to you.

peace,

rich

Actually, the song was released in 1990, a full decade before the close of the 2nd Millennium.

[ulielmar]

No one can say it with music like Prefab Sprout can. I will NEVER get tired of listening to their artifacts!

[shaunfossett]

I remember playing this song as I awaited the Y2K disaster to happen.

[scientifico]

I dunno. Do i have tears listening to this song for the years gone, for a sense of loss that comes with maturity, or for the memory of the brash and bulletproof days before loss ever touched me? Whatever the reasons, long live prefab sprout!

[Bethnal]

what are you talking about you nonce.

props prefab sprout though

[cleckheaton]

This is what youtube is all about - sharing memories and opinions. Good for you.
