Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (Live @ TOTP)

[skate1girl]

Sandi has the most amazing voice and I can actually tell its really her singing; I can't do that with other artists I have to actually sit down and figure it out with others. Music today is so fake, it's truly sad.

[DanKanzas]

@skate1girl I've seen her live and she has a natural talent. Music is in that woman's blood!

[SquirrelsAteMyGnome]

She has got such an amazing voice. It's such a shame that she's not more famous.

[subbeh69]

I swear she says prawn cracker.

[SexyVampir8]

Bewegend!

keine Instrumente und doch so eine Stimmengewalt! Und außerdem ist das eine der besten Live aufnahmen die ich je gehört habe! Danke!

[ActionDrama]

Es ist unglaublich das Sie ohne Instrumente auskommt und man trotzdem nicht das Gefühl hat , es würde etwas fehlen.

Großartig!

[sk8drinker]

Can i kiss her ass too?

[sSuUnNshine123]

"I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care".. it's true, I should have been born in the 60's when music history was written! Music really sucks nowadays, I can't listen to lady gaga or rihanna or any other NOISE and I'm only 19..

[GuitarGuyandDrumDude]

this song shows, that you don't need a big liveband everytimes.

[theMUSICwitch]

was'n das für ne Schnitte der die 2te Stimme singt? yummy! :-)

[xxcoldmirrorxx]

Why is the right guy sitting on a cajon..? :D

[PwnPWI]

I used to live next to this girl in whistleberry, Aberdeenshire. :)

[lilmizzscatterbrain]

This is just...so natural.

[FrauAlpenvogel]

this woman actually CAN sing.. not only on playback!

[musiclover2043]

lady gaga should kiss sandi's ass...

[HunterEtan]

@musiclover2043 Mhh... I like both! :D (Gaga even more :D)

[YamiNezumi]

this sound almost exactly like the recorded version. Simply amazing

[J94IR]

how is this girl not a megastar yet? this is a unreal song and shes an amazing performer!

[watuppeeps101]

Stars today sound nothing like they do on the CDs when they sing live

She sounds exactally the same

We need stars like her

[atina57]

she deserves millions of views...

[ryanc231]

i love that she stays true to her ideas. if you listen to the recording of this, you can tell no autotune or vocal enhancers were used. finally true talent. #weneedthisontheradio

[deedeeramone91]

what a great voice, she really rocks!!!

[Alxmastr]

this song is HORRIBLE the words "punk rocker" should be beeped out of this song

[petardd]

@Alxmastr It evokes the 2 apparently different yet very similar ideologies, the imagine being constructed on the antithesis with the world we see today, a world without any substance, where important principles have stepped aside to the degrading part of human motives. In order to understand you must first try and learn about other things. There is nothing insulting to punk rockers nor is there to hippies in this song. Cheers!

[MoeMonkey78]

Yeah I agree with Alxmastr, that is just rediculous, the only people with flowers in their hair are hippies

[Shiannas94]

@MoeMonkey78 it refers at a time many years ago.. i think -.^

[Alxmastr]

why in the heck would a punck rocker have flowers in their hair?

[ofmuviTV]

My sister made me listen to it with about 10 ten years. And I loved it so much. Now I am 16 and sooooo glad that I found it again!

[itssuperhot910]

Ugh I don't care wat any1 says I still luv this song even though u have justin bieber and all them and I luv them, but I will always forever and Eva luv dis song [:

[dariowestern]

She ought to have been treated a lot better by her record label and the media than what she got.

[daywars]

Du bist eine Göttin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daywars]

Diese Lied ist einfach nur geil, es hebt die Stimmung und verbreitet eigentlich bei jedem Menschen gute Laune c...gruß von mir und Oli

[amy1teto1jazzie1]

man, top of the pops, whatever happend to this?

[radulica]

wow. this is fucking great.

[eezit1]

i think the lyrics and beat are wonderful.

makes me want to run around between trees feeling the wind against my face under the rain.

[allanz00]

I like this version WAY better than the official video~!~

[ItsameAlex]

@allanz00

there's like no difference.

[allanz00]

@ItsameAlex , That's cool , I agree to disagree . . LOL

[janek7135226]

is she deffo singing live

[scottobloomytrue]

I solemnly agree with the comment right on top~~

[liveandunsigned]

[LgGerminator]

who cares when your born man, I'm still a dirty punk with second hand clothes and a strong anarchist spirit in the 21 century! Btw I really doubt your gonna find a punk with flowers in his hair XD  Fuck no man!

[Fischauto]

1:50 .. looks like Knut Hansen :DDD

[BenJinsen]

@nicky228:

[tryBmx]

oops i broke my replay button

[ChrisRed244]

@tryBmx same here

( not joking!!!)

[pinkflamegirl1]

the guys are sweet

[BenJinsen]

@hurrycan

Mea culpa. Wohne 5 Gehminuten von Holland weg. Hörte sich nicht so an. Aber der Sender verräts.

[pinkflamegirl1]

the guys are so sweet honeys

[SilyDillSmiles]

She Is Real Talent. She doesnt need fancy powerfull instrumentals and effects on her voice, shes amazing <3

[BenJinsen]

@ rais1988: stimmt genau. Finde ich auch kacke

[43alyssadawn]

flawless. sounds like a studio-recorded version.

[prn24]

punk rockers from back in the day would laugh at this one. felt like a happy time. it wasn't about peace and love. it was to change the music establishment from pop and radio 40 play to the violence and depressing times with reality. don't sing about something that weren't a part of.

[Raist1988]

was mich ankotzt is das jedes mädchen das ein mikro hat meint es müsste ein cover davon machen und dann hochladen meine güte

[BenJinsen]

Weis denn einer wer der Typ recht ist. Der 'Background Sänger'

[BenJinsen]

Ich glaube das ist schwedisch. Auf jeden Fall Skandinavien. Dutch auf keinen Fall

[hurrycan]

@BenJinsen

BNN ist ein niederländischer TV-Sender also stimmt Dutch

[nicky228]

@BenJinsen Klar ist das niederländisch. BNN ist n niederländischer TV-Sender

[blueeyesmarie]

i love it

[AmyLeeEvanescencez]

what the fuck is that dude talking!? not german not english

[mj8602]

@AmyLeeEvanescencez

That's Dutch ;o)

[19jojomoisel95]

punks have no flowers in their hairs :D:D

[mattsplatt]

That was great! I like this much better than the studio version.

[jaxx831]

At what point is she singing live @TOTP. TOTP is a english TV show and the guy at the start is not speaking english and BNN is not a english channel

[nicky228]

@jaxx831 Uhm...TOTP was europewide....So this might be the dutch version of TOTP.

[scepticly]

she's so talented!!!! it's also a lot 'bout a good multitasking: singing, clapin', stampin'... great!

[Gonzoidzz]

good singer but the song is crap

[nicknt855]

This song is amazing. I only know of it cuz it played ONE time on my radio station. If it wasn't for that i wouldn't know about it. and everything she says is completely true!!

[deafjackomonster]

20 people are chavs

[boz750]

I was a teenager in the punk era. This song is SO accurate and true ..... I just love it.

[boz750]

I was a teenager in the punk era. This song is SO accurate and true ..... I just love it.

[clearvoyance]

Dear Sandi, you are not born too late. Everyone can be a punk rocker, anytime. There is no one stopping you. It's all about getting up your arse and take control of your life.

[steerock66]

Awesome.

It would be better if this had some electric guitars and stuff like that.

I was born in 96. To late for a world that doesnt care.

[Bloodhound805]

the guy with the hat and the guitar in the background reminds me of another musician or actor or whatever... anyone..:?

[xblast196]

seriously, how is it possible to not like this song?

[SuperFjordi]

what language is that guy in the beginnig speaking?

[DjPter]

@SuperFjordi DUTCH

[spacejayNL]

@SuperFjordi Dutch

[Kalephd]

Mad track, mad voice, good msg, she's a spunk too. Cant go wrong lol. The guy sounds fucking tough aswelll

[pspjunkie777]

the first sentence of the song is so paradox :D

[xblast196]

@pspjunkie777 i think her meaning of "punk" for this song is different than mohawks, the ramones & leather jackets.

[sassymonsterO]

@xblast196 the term "punk" is used as a metaphor for rebelling against the system. She is complimenting "punk rockers" not trying to be one, she is a folk/pop singer, she has made it clear in her style.

[xblast196]

@sassymonsterO i know, i was telling the other person basically the same thing.

[GailMacFarlane]

This is the song that launched her career...and she is our cousin from Scotland! We have the same great great grandparents!

[nicky228]

This is trukly a great song!

[bobalinawashere]

the man singing is cute ;) looks like he should be a wherewolf on twilight 

[oOBabyJaneOo]

Where is she from?

I love this song...I love the message!

[adeeba92]

its a cool song n all but i dont agree with the message tht she is giving to the world by saying thaat she was born to late... means to that she is basically saying society and the world is sooo bad that insted of fighting to make a change an live in a better society lets just put our hands up and give up. wat jind of message is that portraying to the younger generation who aspire to make a change??????

[U2latvian]

Who is that man ? to right ?

[Littledragonlee]

@U2latvian Dunno but he's pretty hot ;)

[U2latvian]

@Littledragonlee yes, so cute :)

[TheWichp]

this still be my best song for entire life

[Jazian86]

[deathinfatuated]

[Tvbandit11]

omg i though mabye she couldnt sing as well as the album but O M G! Dude, no difference. thats what you really look for in a singer

[TheSickHumanBeing]

If you listen to the recorded version, there is absolutley no reverb on her. Its amazing.

[absies1998]

sandi thom is so fricking amazing... shes... electrifying.

[reddevil230292]

lol theres such a diffence between UK and i cant tell german dutch or w/e this show is from, theres such a diffrence to UK because the crowed is always SCREAMING and cheering and u can bairly hear the singer, that or the voice is just so Nice that the crowed is just speachless lol i would be :P

[paulica038]

super cool amazing and gorgious and......super:))

[dontevergas]

she used to live in Tooting brap brap

[bzznutzz]

What kind of punk rocker has flowers in there hair? Thats a hippie to me, not a punk rocker. But I get the point of the song and I think its great.

[dirkflint]

no hippies over there bro!

[jaxenaz]

amazing!!/!

[diamonddonut]

good voice, this what i wanna see on the top 10 rather than garbage lyrics similar to "Touch my body" and "Umbrella" were when i sing about my umbrella and i get a platimun, i'm thinking about singing for the bathrooms may get triple platimun.

[mymusicisgood1]

love the lyrics

"i was born too late into a world that doesn't care"

LOVE IT!

[mymusicisgood1]

i usually listen to metal but this song just to good

[motorider46]

Perfect voice also in Live..I can also say better! Great Song, amazing singer!!

[TehRetroBanana]

tht was class

[1ADScout]

Obviously some people don't even understand the meaning to this song. It's simple: It's about wanting to be in a better time in the world when things were more simple and we weren't corrupted by the media and the net. I don't even listen to music like this much but i really love this song.

[deafjackomonster]

AMEN!!! this worlds ran by the media and it pains me to look at the suckers that belive it/follow it

[pinkydererste]

@1ADScout

there is nothing in the world which has got only one meaning, its about what you feel when you hear a song or experience anything else. for me there is no past or future, just the moment ... and what i feel listinening to this song and thinking about it is, not to want to be in a "better" time but to work on the moment, those hippis didnt think everything was great, they wanted to change something and had the power to stand up against the establishment :P - fight for a better world

[smilingsquirrel]

wonderful perfomance, keep on going like this! :-))

[kylieminoguerocks]

we should rise up against the arrogant and corrupt british goverment!!!

[GothicVain]

o_o @ Kylieminoguerocks

At least you don't have a lying hypocritical bastard leading the country *cough*obama*cough8

[hakanTCM]

@Sandi

Stop your whining!

[yourdisconeedsyou1]

Utter shite!

[pelggjp]

ええなぁ

[carlosomse]

just awesome would like to see this live

goosebumps for sure ;)

[dreadangel1]

its kind of spooky how everyone is dead silent i think but its cool..... and she is a dam good singer!

[lacarneinflamare]

Exactly! Amazing LIVE vocals! She is showing how it SHOULD be done! ; )

[Meska369]

Oh look! Another person railing against nothing.... Jeez Regi, relax and smoke something relaxing. Then read the lyrics again and figure out what she's talking about before Lighting everyone up with profanity and misplaced angst.

I think it's a lovely song, I was born too late to participate in something as cool as the Love Revolution or Punk Revolution too. It would have been a blast, and confusing, and many other things.

Oh Well, I'll just enjoy my own age and wax nostalgic like her.

[regipunk1]

what the fuck is this twat on about.punks dont like hippies much.if i see the bitch im gonna gob on it. supid little cunt. she knows fuck all about punk . do us a favour and fuck off. twat!

[MrAshley1111]

i really love this amazing song sani thom 4 eva !!!!!!

[Honig911]

,,i was born too late..." i guess

[Scarletxx1796]

i love this song its awsome! im gonna sing it a music festival this year, but theres one thing i dont understand..does she say i was born to lead or born too late? can anyone tell me plz, thanx :)

[SafetyBreaks]

...i was born too late to a world that doesn't care... wouldn't make sense the other way

[jessmann112]

but its i was born to late not to lead..

[CelticGhirl16]

born too late

[cutiechanny]

its born to late :D

[johnnyreb455]

i don't get it

[bariiG]

just love that song!!!

[slagmilkcard]

The inspiration for the song came to Sandi Thom when after her mobile phone was stolen she thought how simple life was when we weren't so reliant on technology: "When not everybody drove a car, when music really mattered, and radio was king."

[WorldAgape]

So it's begun! At least you have guns! unlike over here!

[AnotherStargateFan]

I could listen to her all day! She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

[Nicki141]

yeah fair enough mate, but i dont think that would have fitted the chorus so well.

[AnotherStargateFan]

I wish I was a punk with flowers in my hair? lol you make an excellent point!

[diiMitRaaaaaaaaaaaa]

its amazing i love iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit =]............

[nickdc1]

Bloody 6th formers on their soap box...

[GothicCliona]

[pink0skullcandy]

We weren't talking about her, but the language the guy speaks, haha. :)

[dragosco001]

i still love this song... and i think she has an amazing voice

[PiperHellBeautyxHB]

That shaker next to the mic: very clever .



Awesome song!

[JulesBondTF2]

Lol at the comments saying she's bad having -5 to -10 and the comments saying she's good having +1 or more.

Is disliking something not allowed anymore?

[rooiehans]

This is a super song. Sandi Thom live.

Chickenskin I get from this song. Much better then the studio version

Such a shame that it broke of to fast.

[rizibizi100]

if you like this song look at at youtube- performance at talent show for children under 15 years old. Name of girl is FANI SOLOMUN, song: i wish i was punk rocker. Fani Solomun is a young nice girl from Croatia.

[pink0skullcandy]

What kind of language is the guy in the beginning talking? I don't understand a shit, haha.

[alejandroUT]

it's ugly enough to be dutch but i'm not too sure :)

[pink0skullcandy]

True!! xD It annoys me that I can't figure out what it is tho ;p

[stellispelaras]

/watch?v=z9FLXRW7II4 a song i wrote.. its in greek but there is a link on the vid which gives you the english version.. check it out and coment!! ;p

[samuel588]
