this is one of the best songs i've ever heard. i mean, there're many good songs but i really like this one because it's not just a song which is known by everyone and played in the charts and everything, you know? :D
this song was made four years ago but people are still listening to mike skinner now in 2012 mainly in my view that his songs reflect the poverty of people that cant do for them selves i can relate to this as if it came from me so it helps to think that there are people still here to inspire those who don't have insperation from there dads that left them when they were young from there mums who didn't care its just nice to know somones there to help you get there.
You have every othere gerne of music then you have the streets and hip hop is definetly not on par with the streets if you want hip hop you wont find it here
These are some great lyrics. I actually like this album though I'm not into the genre itself, with Streets being an exception I guess because you can understand what they are actually saying. May go to the Manchester gig in February for the Computers & Blues tour.
i used to live in that tower block them three lighted up windows under the streets lol 33 micheal cliff house islington london thats wer i grew up .... great song ...
very powerful, inspirational song. I will always love it. and i hope one day my prodigal potential can meet with a masterpiece maker such as the streets and start a damned revolution. Till then, viva la streets.
best line. "i will show you the secrets the sky and the bird actions speak louder than words, stand by me my apprentice, be brave, clench fists"
