My God this was 1992!!!!! Fuck, I'm old now! Loved the Lighting Seeds, cracking tunes in an age when music was quality....esp in my city of Manchester!

[needabloodyname]

@ScruffyNick33 shut up you old duffer

[SIMPSON795]

[ThePaulingtonbear]

Brilliant song, The Lightning Seeds are a much underrated band ):

[TheCitizen69]

Absolut genial - hört man auch in Österreich gerne! Greetings from austria!

[LuminityBand]

Some fans said our first original song sounds a lot like the lightning seed's stuff! I can see why it does sound a little similar! Maybe then you guys will like it too? :D

[sonners2239]

4 words your a twat

[theview2]

@sonners2239 Thats 3 words



[Starzone88]

This song really brings me back to my young childhood, im still a kid but im 12 lol,

[Starzone88]

this song has sad music, but still very good, i used to cry whn i heard this song,

[pablogeebee1]

Oh yeah scousers do great music and soccer...except fat rooney and lmao Everton

[becherbecher]

That is not fair! I also want that my country lives from making pop music! But you probably can't create something like this outside of UK...

[wetrix1]

why would anyone put a great song to a crap team ( liverpool) at least we reached the final your so crap you cant even qualify for the champions league, your just a bunch of middle of the league scousers ... MAN U forever

[davidsan01]

CAROLE SMILEY!!!!!!

[davidsan01]

GOAL OF THE MONTH!!!!!!

[zerfer]

such an underated band

[fingers313131]

I'm the biggest Lightning Seeds fan.. I think these are the GREATEST BANG of ALL TIME.. :) :) :)

[nickhow100]

pure brilliance

[TheKenfig]

@nickhow100 COMPLETE copy of 'What ?' by Soft Cell, no.2 in 1982

[VeniceKG]

@TheKenfig Apart from the fact What! is a COVER of a Northern Soul 60's song by Judy Street that sounds nothing like the lightning seeds of course. ....so seen as its not Soft Cell's intellectual property im thinking Marc Almond couldnt be bothered sueing lol

[TheKenfig]

@VeniceKG I'm not writing about COVERS ; I'm on about plagiarism. This is EXACTLY like 'What' ; identical tune in the chorus

[VeniceKG]

@TheKenfig 'identical'? there are a million songs that sound "similar" as there is a finite amount of ways a set amount of musical notes can be strung together after all....identical is a bit far...its very similar..like all Oasis songs are to Beatles songs. Its very hard to prove plagiarism, if the notes written down on the score are different, then it's different...look up the original What (Judy Street)if you're interested obviously not identical really.

[TheKenfig]

@VeniceKG Nah, it's identical and you know it too. Oasis' music is nothing like The Beatles

[VeniceKG]

@TheKenfig HAHA ...ok....you win. 

[TheKenfig]

@VeniceKG No I dont, nobody 'wins'

[XxpauldadudexX]

Lol oh fuk this band is fukin awesome...I know them but fukin hell...I realised theyre BRILLIANT

[TheKenfig]

@XxpauldadudexX Wonder why the writers of the no.2 hit 'What ?' by Soft Cell didn't sue the Lightning seeds for direct plagiarism of their song here ? ; I would have - could have won a fortune

[XxpauldadudexX]

Why hasnt someone done this EXCELLENT song to Livrepool FC winning in Istanbul ? Lol I fukin LOVE LFC and what a vid itd be....oh man I am still sooo happy at Barca beating the mancs AGAIN....all there hate about N N N Nineteen hahahaha theyll NEVER beat da POOL...Liverpool FC 4EVER...YNWA

[eagleeyejerry]

This song is about his son ... Riley. Kinda cool for a kid to have this growing up ... or maybe not, because of the slagging! lol I think this guy is an Everton fan, but also, he may support the 'Pool ... I forget! Classic tune though!

[LysBlanco]

Grown-up Harry Potter. kidding, I loves the lighting seeds!! still great to listen too!

[hathaway779]

"ATKINSON, HE'S FOOLED ANDERSON"

[MrMarkfoster]

fucking hell why are there not the bands out there like there used to be ?seems like everything is manufactured more these days,i know that makes me sound like a whinging old git but im not im 35 and im glad i was lucky enough to grow up with real music, unlike young people these days who have a lot less real, quality music to choose from

[MrXenophobe]

@MrMarkfoster The great thing about Mr Fosters comment is this bloke is over 10 years younger than me & thinks as I do. Ohh how it's MOSTLY, but by NO means all, rubbish now. But then I do remember my dad always complaining about MY top 10 as a kid being " rubbish " and " this isn't music " Me thinks we're just getting old Mr Foster ;-) But I wonder if you'll still hear Tinie Tempah in 60 years time as you do Frank Sinatra ( he was one of the old mans faves by the way ) Long live REAL music

[KatGentle]

Tampa, YBor? Hilton, talk all night?

[Inversorparticular]

[Redhotice54]

Nice Shower song this.

[JoeRyan33]

Rod Wallace, Leeds v Tottenham.

[rayredding72]

I remember being in Navy bootcamp and on the 6th week our company got privileges to chip in and buy a boombox and each buy cds. I bought Pearl Jam's 1st and this cd for the bands name alone. Glad I followed my instinct.

[1410bluedog]

reminds me of the old match of the day, pure 90s this. also at half time at anfield as a kid i remember this was always on. miss the 90s so much

[cocosolero]

Saw them play at Hampton Pool, quite funny that his son Riley who the song was written about now plays guitar in the band. Brilliant front man and a great lyricist. Just glad they didn't risk playing 3 lions!

[Fallenshadowv3]

before owl city there was the lightning seeds.

[RockofEngland]

This song has a magical feel to it. You've got to love it.

[Rosiexxmyrearendxx]

[mintysilver]

@russianpostman I was just thinking I'd love someone to post this with a video of great goals...memories of 90's MOTD...

[russianpostman]

@mintysilver it is on youtube because i found it after just writing my comment, i believe its a picture of a mascot.

[evertonl36]

everton fc

[TheEnglishHobo]

Football ruined this song a little bit.

[TheEnglishHobo]

i love this song! I'm 14 years old and still i wonder what the fuck has gone wrong with music these days.

[XxpauldadudexX]

@TheEnglishHobo Um ,ehum,its basically SHITE! I guess,lol.:)

[jimshady13]

@TheEnglishHobo im 17... i was brought up on this stuff... its beaut, compared to modern day crap rap. Some new music is acceptable, but i think humans need to relearn how to make music like this.

[TheEnglishHobo]

@jimshady13 AMEN!

[ps2peter]

@jimshady13 back then it was 80% human making the music and 20 equipment..now its like 30%human and 70% equipment with all the digital voice crap...how the fuck can someone get on top using a digital voice? its fucking sad. we need the old music back

[MrTelgold]

love this song - I thought it was football focus but yeah its goal of the month - you can't be Tony Yeboah's goals against Wimbledon and then against Liverpool.
