i have been listening to gomez since '98 and whenever i hear certain songs they bring back soooooo many memories. a lot of it is being super high or stoned. haha. love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish they would come to the states!!!!!!! (more often)
Gomez remind me of my summer 2 years ago. The first time i listiened to them i was high out of my brains and they found a way to reach me. They've influenced me and my band a lot in our music. I'd love to hear what Gomez fans think. Search
the singer, in this song is Ian, and the Ediie Vedder Soundalike you mention, I suppose you mean Ben.... I´m sorry, but I think, no offense to Ian, Ben has one of the most unique voices in music....
timeless...and they still have a loyal following, me being one of them! Ben Ottewell has got one of the best live voices i have ever heard, and i'm a live music junkie!
As if the UK charts are a good judge of what's good music. Most bands these days have two albums and flop. These Lads seem to be constantly touring. How many one hit wonders can do that after 10 years?
Just seen these Lads last night in Newcastle on their Bring it on Tour. They never cease to amaze. True musicians. The crowd and the band enjoyed ever minute of it.
They played a couple of new songs after they played the Bring it on set, so they must be working on a new album. I think How we operate was released in May of 2006 and they done a UK tour to promote it, so they'll probably tour for their next album. Their definitely worth traveling to see if they don't come anywhere near you. I seen them at Newcastle, Sheffield, London and T in the Park in 06 and they were different each time. Ben done a solo acoustic tour early this year which was a treat.
this IS the album version dude, theres a bit of distro on a few seconds but aside from that this is the same version. if you REALLY want to get this one download audacity and the wav out recorder driver or the freecorder toolbar.
Lets embrace change.... if they played the same style each album, and dont challegne themselves, they become just like the pepsi generation that is now....
Great song, thanks for posting, and great video, too - featuring the Brit actor Toby Jones, who went on to play Truman Capote in the film Infamous (the film that wasn't Capote; takes me back. One of the best songs to feature the word 'toilet'....
Nice to see to see you on here. This is Andy. Got any new stuff? This is so much better than most of our fodder. Cheers guys. Love ya..Andy and Rio...Unlucky Fried Kitten.
I'm glad you find it tame... I'm glad you don't like it and have never had the opportunity of engaging your brain and listening to an album by them. I find class related comments very boring, and by extension find you quite boring.
I remember seeing this on The Chart Show on ITV in 1998 and immediately loving it and going out and buying the single. It remains one of my favourite songs. Timeless.
I wish my fellow countrymen (and women) appreciated these absolutely awesome performers, that way I might get to see them back in Britain again live. They just oooooze talent all over the place! And seeing them live (the last time well over a year ago) lives on in my memory as an awe inspiring show!
gomez rock on i think there in working on a new album cant wait for that and ian ball has solo album which is pretty amazing i live in boston and ive seen them 5 times in the last 8 years never dissipointed there really cool guys who love to play live so cheak them out if you ever get the chance
I was at Uni in Manchester when this came out. This song used to pop into my head every day as I got off the tram in Picadilly Gardens. Saw them a couple of years later in Cardiff. Great band!
omg!! that piano at 2:06 is...the same one i have!! no joke!! i have that mini piano!!! my dad acutally got it for his barbershop music!! haha sweetness! and this band rocks!
Otra buena canción: Gomez - 78 Stone Wobble I was always told that you had to have a ball to break down, Now I'm older I'm not too sure. I was always told that you had to have a high to lowdown, An expert told me back in the war. Open hearted surgery never works, So eat your words or hide them in the dirt. 'Cos I don't need nobody to know me, I don't want nobody to know. I was always told that you had to have a ball to break down, Now I'm older I'm not too sure.

Takes me back to 2000. Travelling through Europe. Got to see them at Reading that year. Right on the fence, arms around complete strangers, singing along! Wonderful memories.
Takes me back to the summer of 98, makes my heart skip a beat when i hear it, even now, it's just so good and reminds me of better times back in the day when i was 17/18 :(
