I love this band. They never seemed to find a big following here in the States. This and "Roll to Me" were really the only hits they had here. Too bad. Really good band.
@martinwilliamrandall So right. These guys were big on the local alternative station here in Phoenix - back in the 90s when there WAS an alternative station. Phoenix is such a weird place that the only thing that has ever made it feel like a 'community' was the alternative radio, from 1968-78 and then for a few years in the 90s. The rest of the time it's "leave me the f--- alone!"
They should never have taken that break between their second last album. They might still be kicking around.....Saying that , i think they will be quids in if they regroup and start touring again...
One of my all-time favorite break-up songs. I remember this song being in pretty heavy rotation back in the summer of 92, but the little twist at the end still cracks me up.
@kajasanvean Totally! You dont have to be good anymore! Music as an Art has been "sodomised " by wanna be talentless ,fools. The latest glaring example was I saw Katie Perry on a TV award show singing live .I think her songwriters are Max Martin- and his off sider they have written everything from backstreet boys to britney , songs like FIrework and Califronia are great pop ..but OMG her singing was so bad it was unbeleivebale she could sing so flat and not feel it let alone hear it,
@919rickw "Del Amitri" is not words in a language, it's a name. It's the name of the music group. "By" in front of a name means it was written by or created by that person. Or in this case sung by or performed by Del Amitri. I hope that clears it up for you. If their name is from another language I don't know. Possibly Spanish or French.
@DrewMurray1874 Okay, then I guess I don't know the name of his group. Or does he just go by the name like Michael Jackson, John Michael Montgomery, and so forth?
completly forgot about this tune until i was at a record fair today and so happened picked up the best of from del amitri and this song came straight to mind, and i this it so much takes me back
very weird deja vu moment. I completely recognize this song, but can;t ever recall hearing it... I mean obviously I did... weird! I remember their song "Roll to Me" (Ha ha! I bought the single on cassette back in the day ) ;) Obviously this is a good song that has somehow slipped through my mental cracks. Glad to find it again!
@teacherofcrazy That's kind of an overstatement... obviously they were recording b4 the Gin Blossoms, but here in the U.S. , their chart topper "Roll to Me" was being played on the radio stations at the exact same time of Gin Blossoms biggest releases of "New miserable Experience"... consider me guilty by association:*)
@teacherofcrazy Okay.. I understand the reaction to such comments but the association isn't as far away as decades or countrys (music transcends all). Del Amitri's biggest hit in the U.S. "Roll to Me" off their Twisted CD was released in '95., and the Gin Blossoms released "New Miserable Experience" in '92.. BOTH were played over and over on the radio stations ... along with Hootie and the Blowfish. So skeletor's ignorant comments aside, ur harsh reaction was off base. BTW, Love them both!
@marilynk1122 i didn't mean for my reaction to be construed as 'harsh' in any way. nor was i trying to shout ignorance or any other decree. i was simply stating that a harsh simliarity of the two and the implied 'copying' wasn't anything to be concerned about.
but i do understand why such things are issues-i mean it's so difficult to come up with original music these days, it's only natural that people would be suspicious
So you’re in love with someone else Someone who burns within your soul And it looks like I’m the last to know I hear you’ve never felt so alive So much desire beyond control And as usual I am the last to know The last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s treating you like I treated you Or if he’s cruel I’ll be the last to know
Been following / a fan of the Dels forever! So underrated, but glad I have all of their records. They just got better and better. Saw them live one time and they are in my top three shows ever. They were so relaxed and tight and totally entertaining. You could tell that they really enjoyed themselves and had everyone singing along, which you CAN do because, surprise, they write SONGS! I listen to these guys all the time and every song is on my ipod. Thanks for posting these vids!
Looking forward to seeing Justin with The Ryan Quigley Big Band and Orchestra - a tribute to The Beatles - at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Fri 8th October 2010.
Justin, Carol Kidd, Jacqui Dankworth, Julie Fowlis and a whole load of other guests and full string section - gonna be awesome! In aid of Yorkhill Children's Hospital
I was a DJ for 21 years, from 1974 to 1995. I used to listen to bands like this or go to folk clubs as an antidote to what I was playing in the clubs. Good music is good music, full stop. Del Amitri make/made good music - Amen!
@kitesurf58phil I was a DJ, although I began in 1965, and I did much the same as you to void my mind of the sort of poor quality junk that would be requested by the masses. The sheer joy of hearing good, accomplished musicians is, as you say, the antidote to such lyric gems as Disco Stomp (Hamilton Bohannon) and legions of other mediocrities. Enjoy the rest of your life in peace and prosperity.

do you know that Del Amitri frontman Justin Currie (+ Band) just released a NEW CD THE GREAT WAR, fantastic album, received many rave reviews already!!!!!
Re my previous comment - I got through the first audition for the X Factor, singing in Gallic, then tried this at the second audition, and got a no - ironically from a Scottish lass. Still love it though, and I'll be back next year in drag pretending to be subnormal - guaranteed golden ticket from what I've seen. God bless the nutters
I love this song so tue, so hard to find songs with meanigful lyrics now just packaged bands using studio technlogy that can amke anyone sound good. Real musicians are rare
they could play instruments and sing without loads of effect and they certainly didnt rap so MTV had them killed in case people relised what real music is about
Justin Currie,the lead singer is usually hanging out and about in central Glasgow,in regular everyday bars and coffee houses,apparently a real down to earth guy,my sons chatted to him in some club in Jamaica Street in the city centre.
I always feel happy when i bump into Del Amitri songs.. they were a very unappreciated band in their time mostly because of their sometimes very poor videos. Their music is so well crafted that they deserved so much more .
This song reminds me of when i did my Market gardening Aprienticeship(Vegetable growing) back in the early 90's in Melbourne,Victoria,Australia! wonderfull Song! Thankyou for posting!!!
hey Kindbluey it reminds me of skining up on a hot summers day whilst paint n decorating in blackpool england ...not the same i suppose but wot a song!!!!!
I first heard this song while sitting in the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport, waiting to fly back to Washington, D.C. I loved it from the first time I heard it. It brings back great memories.
My band won a competition back in the early 90s to play support to del amitri in Dublin .
When the owner of the venue found out we where all under 18 years of age he would not let us on the premisis and we couldnt play . We got to meet the guys though and they where all bang on.
We ended up hanging around outside listening to the gig and dancing with passers by !
This song contains the wonderment factor placing it at the top of my list. It also holds great sentimental value for me. When I was younger I started working as a sales assisant in a clothing store and was trained in men's formal and casual clothing. I was then offered a position at the flag store and in charge of the Mens Casual Dept. This song carried me through those trying times. It helped take my mind off my daily chores in wondering who I might insist on being the last to know about!!
Love the Dels, I've been a fan for a long time, but I haven't listened to their stuff for a while. I have many happy memories from their songs. It's nice to watch this again, now I'm off to find 'Be My Downfall' :D
I'm jealous. You've got a lot of great Del Amtiri music to get acquainted with. Check out the videos of Justin's solo tour last year. He did a lot of Del stuff and he sounded awesome. Some good videos on here
Every Dels song has "that line" that always comes to the front of your memory when you hear it again. In this one: WHEN THE BOMB DROPS, BABY, I WANNA BE THE LAST TO KNOW: is that particular line in this superb song!
I remember the first time I heard this song...I was sitting in the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, waiting for a plane to take me back to Washington, D.C., and the flight was delayed. So I took out my Walkman and put the radio on. This song came on, and I loved it from the first time I heard it. That was so many years ago, I lost count. But when I hear this song, it brings me back to that day in the airport.
I love this band. They never seemed to find a big following here in the States. This and "Roll to Me" were really the only hits they had here. Too bad. Really good band.

I love this song, unfortunately, the story of my life. So poignant, so simple, expresses so well the end of a relationship. Heartbreak and beauty.

I always feel happy when i bump into Del Amitri songs.. they were a very unappreciated band in their time mostly because of their sometimes very poor videos. Their music is so well crafted that they deserved so much more .

I first heard this song while sitting in the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport, waiting to fly back to Washington, D.C. I loved it from the first time I heard it. It brings back great memories.

My band won a competition back in the early 90s to play support to del amitri in Dublin .
When the owner of the venue found out we where all under 18 years of age he would not let us on the premisis and we couldnt play . We got to meet the guys though and they where all bang on.
We ended up hanging around outside listening to the gig and dancing with passers by !

This song contains the wonderment factor placing it at the top of my list. It also holds great sentimental value for me. When I was younger I started working as a sales assisant in a clothing store and was trained in men's formal and casual clothing. I was then offered a position at the flag store and in charge of the Mens Casual Dept. This song carried me through those trying times. It helped take my mind off my daily chores in wondering who I might insist on being the last to know about!!

Love the Dels, I've been a fan for a long time, but I haven't listened to their stuff for a while. I have many happy memories from their songs. It's nice to watch this again, now I'm off to find 'Be My Downfall' :D

I'm jealous. You've got a lot of great Del Amtiri music to get acquainted with. Check out the videos of Justin's solo tour last year. He did a lot of Del stuff and he sounded awesome. Some good videos on here

Every Dels song has "that line" that always comes to the front of your memory when you hear it again. In this one: WHEN THE BOMB DROPS, BABY, I WANNA BE THE LAST TO KNOW: is that particular line in this superb song!

I remember the first time I heard this song...I was sitting in the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, waiting for a plane to take me back to Washington, D.C., and the flight was delayed. So I took out my Walkman and put the radio on. This song came on, and I loved it from the first time I heard it. That was so many years ago, I lost count. But when I hear this song, it brings me back to that day in the airport.
Thanks for the memory.
