Inspiral Carpets - This Is How It Feels

[SteveResin]

What a fucking song. Morrissey & Marr would have been proud of this one.

[thereverendcarmichae]

God, I wish I looked like these guys...Parka heaven - God bless Manchester!

[bohsblur]

yeah i was at that gig. tom got pissed off

when some muppet got on stage during

further away. it took clint 10 minutes to

get him back onstage.

[ballough]

Seen them in the National stadium in dublin in 91(i think).Class.

[bingoace]

Classic song, excellent. Shame the carpets are not recording anymore. Such a great band

[TomMinderson]

Nice tune, but the bass is missing from this vid.

[RedArmyTech]

This is how it feels to be CITY!

[zstamz]

haha i think some 1 should play this to noel gallagher the prick

O.A.F.C

[louiecostello]

he used to be their roadie so he's probably already heard it...

[zstamz]

yh i know. hes still a prick according to him all oldham fans are city fans stupid manc

[louiecostello]

oh haha... that actually means nothing to me

[robbo151973]

nice 1 pal up the reds hope city get kaka, then vidic can kick the fuck out ov him lol

[reubenleach]

I remember seeing them on Granada Reports back in the early 90's. I think Stuart Hall introduced them. They played a song on the news. Live in the studio :)

I love this tune. It almost needs more verses because it starts off telling a story and there's only two verses and a chorus.

Quality tune though.

[keeplowmovefast44]

I never get tired of this one. That's because it's ace.

[blatants]

this reminds me of heaven

[jesslin72]

classic track!

[andychrist916]

Also looks quite cold out there. Glad I live in California.

[andychrist916]

certainly a strong keyboard sound similar to the stranglers. Noel Gallagher a former roadie.

[trimmytrab]

Saw them at Sheffield Uni in about 1990, then at Queen Elizabeth Hall in Oldham in 1994 (I think, while ago now). They are just good, old fashioned rock music, u can sing along to the words - still going.

[SimmyDOTuk]

is this their only good song?

[trimmytrab]

Certianly their most famous track,. some of the early stuff has quite an underground indie sound so it doesn't always suit everyones tastes.

Have a listen to other tracks 'Joe' or 'Move'.

[SimmyDOTuk]

i like this song and I also like oasis song too. arctic monkey favoutie to

[Patch07]

TUNNNNNNNNNNEE

[haz2evo]

I had the COOL AS FUCK shirt and wore it with pride...you know the one with the cow with shades on,great track!

[Thebritishgent]

Top stuff i remember everyone pilling in my old car,driving around, smoking far too much weed and getting stoned to this.

The years may pass quick....the memories never.

Top upload sir.

[Hirsute63]

Class track from a class album. I saw em live in a tiny club in Munich in 1990 and they were one, if not the best, live acts I've ever seen. I'm off to see The Rascals tonight purely because the few tracks of theirs I've heard remind me of the Carpets

[kitttykat13]

SOOO THISSS IS HOOWW IT FEEEEEEELS TO BE LONNELLLLLLY...THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALLL!!!!! fucking mint this.

[1MUFC]

They had a continental lazer blue Kappa kit.

[Marky1888]

Yip wish i could go back the years Klass.....

[krisMcA82]

this is some tune i love it! it reminds me over times past! getting stoned and shaggin birds

[uggla03]

russ7510 they had some cracking songs after this

think there original keyboard player sadly died

[stuartthai]

uggla03 think it was the charlatans keyboard player who died

could be wrong though.

This song an all time classic

from a all time classic band

[bohsblur]

you got to be having a laugh mate. saturn 5, two worlds collide, i want you, dragging me down, to name a few. great band. moo!

[russ7510]

the trouble is i just dont think they followed it up,the rest of their stuff was quite poor i thought

[russ7510]

alright i meant was a banging tune this is

[russ7510]

what a banging tune this was

[matleah]

dont you mean is !!!! what a banging tune this is

[sefo80]

Madchester Band ! Pure quality

[stelar62774]

This is how it all started for me...

[giorgossssss]

what a tune...thank you manchester!

[frillonandu]

moo

[bohsblur]

class. moo!

[ilovebumfun]

love this!

[theliman]

Im wondering what 'Moo' means?

[insensato2008]

very good

[shuichishindo2211]

this song is awesome! I agree with it totally

[hero22zippy]

hey all i need help finding a song ,its not this one, the sone a want ,their is a line in the song where thay sing how would it feel to be a superhero,

[millsto]

maybe janes addiction, only song i can think of with superhero in it.

[talleresmipasion]

q verga q es este videoo

[sashamystaffie]

Takes me back to my mam and dad's divorce

[prodigalson56]

This is how it feels to be city!!! lol. Great song!!!

[bobgrantsbus]

This song takes me back to the early 90's with long hair and baggy clothes. Great underrated song.

[bilicana]

the best band manchester explosion were STONE ROSES only the debut album worth most than the rest of the bands. That song as a single song as a hit its marvelous,awesome...one of my favourites,but not compareded with stone roses album.

[walshy2866]

The best band to come out of the "Manchester Explosion" in my opinion. Blue Monday were just Tony Wilsons little plaything, least Carpets went on their own way.

SMITHS still best Manchester band though

[buckfastercrew]

Oldham band.

[noelisback]

This is united's favourite song!

Wish we had one just as funny!

Where the fuck did we go wrong?

HAHAHAHA

[tentpegten]

listened to it ten times ina row great

[nicholasfogarty]

these guys are surprisingly similar to the chills..looks like the copied the video location from "heavenly pop hit"

[superhooper1983]

Where was this filmed?

They look like they're freezing their f**king arses off!!!

Great song...Great band.

[MorrisManDanceMan]

it was filmed in oldham on saddleworth morrs.

[AstronautAnachronism]

Love this band.

Best friends with the guitarist's kids, actually.

You have to love this song.

[FUSimmy]

Fuck off you muppet.

[plhokko]

this is how it feels to be northern! fuckin northern monkey slags!! maybe its because im a londoner that i luv london town!! cockney rejects rule man!!

[GreerJDN]

great song, a blast from my past !!!

[lfctwentytwo]

clint boon is a ledgend THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE CITYY THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR TEAM WINS NOTHING AT ALL

[diofan2]

quina gran canço per aixecar els anims.

[pigeonwarrior]

song about depression

sums up my life

[onlymebhoy]

Keep yer chin up pal,

anyway I belive this tune is about confussion, or maybe nothing at all!

[bohsblur]

THE BEST OF THE madchester scene. this tune

has the lyrics that would make morriseys stuff

seem cheerfull. it reminds me where my head

was at in 1990. tremendous band, and long

live the inspiral carpets. moooooooo!

[jesslin72]

Love it!

[Northernsoul12]

what a classic

[billydai]

=O inspiral carpets = a gang of hoodies! lol

[geomix72]

Very good song and nice music

[seangrie8]

Oldham Boys Rule.

[seangrie8]

What a great track.

[drlemoncobra]

WOW! i hadn't heard this for years and years until this afternoon when I was listening to Now 1990. Also heard another great song from '90 'Birdhouse In Your Soul'. need to go and find that song now... hope it's on here.

[livyBHOY1916]

the ra remember the 10

[theliman]

Take me to the riot, by Stars, now thats a total rip off of this song.

[kellygernon]

BOON ARMY BOON ARMY!!!!!!

[donks63]

what a great tune makes me cry

[ReZerrected2007]

Inspiral Carpets did nothing to influence bands that came after themselves? I think you may find that a certain Noel Gallacher was a roadie for the Carpets and was probably influenced to a certain extent by guys he considered to be mates. As for bringing football into it, get a grip u small minded arseholes & just try to appreciate a great track & a classic at that!!!!!!

[pigeonwarrior]

tbh fcuk it all

Football is football, just respect that it is football and enjoy it rather than hate some other team.

Its only a game at the end of the day.

[martinmc11]

do not talk shit, its no just a game! when u have to live close to smelly orange bastards. i will hate rangers to my last breathe

[martinmc11]

how the fuck can city be better than utd? use sound the same as they durty orangee bastards rangers. fuck city fuck rangers! up eh ra

[youset1983]

stop talking about soccer, this is music.

[pigeonwarrior]

Premiership 2007/2008

1st Manchester United

Where did Manchester City come?

[madfertits]

noel gallagher the coolest fuckin man on the planet, some of his music might be borrowed but wat the fucks wrong with dat it still sounds fuckin awesome, oasis showed people how to rock again, and gave us working class something to believe in again.

[theliman]

None of his music is borrowed, only inspired. Everyone speaks of how he rips off the beatles but noone has ever shown a single song that sounds like a slight rip off, its all bullshit.

[pigeonwarrior]

Uhh No mate im not saying man u are the best team in the world you dumb cun+.

Im saying that they are better and more successful than Man City. That my friend is a fact.

So all you Man City fans can suck my little ballbags because im well hard because im from Lewisham, London.

[01j07]

man city 1 man utd 0, man city 2 man utd. what can i say, tht old fashioned kit never give any of u munichs any luck, just ask edwards

[sturog55]

your re a cock, your team will always be shite, no matter how much money u got, cock!!

[sturog55]

the below is a reply to 01j07.... city scum!!!

[01j07]

2.1 , 1.0 easy 6 points

[01j07]

i didnt even read ur comment, ur not even from manchester, so dont comment on mancunian teams wen u no fk all about them you glory hunting wanabee munich, where exactly were ur fans after both derbies? knowhere outside the ground and knowhere in town, shitbag club

[martinhallmotors]

One of the best indie songs ever released......

[pigeonwarrior]

@squidlover. Fact of the matter is, Man United are more successful than Man City.

So hush your gums, you little fassyhole.

[Spider4246]

I support Glasgow Rangers but I know that Liverpool could give you arseholes a couple of european cups. They're the REAL REDS!!!!

[mufcgibbo]

This is how it feels to be City,

This is how it feels to be small,

This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all, nothing at all,

This is how it feels to be City....

[pigeonwarrior]

mate Man United are the most successful footaball team in the world EVER

END OF

[Squidlover1000]

er end of says who. its debateable whether man u are most successful in england, but havent real madrid won quite a few more european cups. so ur statement was complete shit really wasnt it.

[IAQTL]

Doh! Err, no! There's loads of teams throughout the world that are far more succesful idiot!

[bohsblur]

what are you talking about? reading headliners, g mex with 14,000 , three top

ten albums and a million t shirts sold.

enough said. mooooooooo!

[tophattaxidermy]

Can't see inspirals influencing anyone heavily in future. Good song but if your talking about great 80s bands id put the carpets at the bottom of the pile totally overshadowed by the smiths, the cure, queen, need i go on? Im not an oasis fan but its safe to say they did more for music than inspiral carpets. Oasis introduced band music to millions of townies that until then only listened to dance. Now its acceptable for townies to like indie music, its down to oasis i tells ya!

[magnetite123456789]

Who was the one of the Inspirals roadies?

[meercat101]

clint boone rocks ! glad he's on xfm now , making fun of emus and mods and suchlike. yay manchester !

[pigeonwarrior]

best tune ever made.

SEX me up baby u ugly little demented goat

[kie660]

This is how it feels to be City,

This is how it feels to be small,

This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all, nothing at all,

This is how it feels to be City....

[stewux]

Is that the City that beat United twice in the league last season?? Hahaha! Another comment that shows United fans up as complete twats!

( And don't bother replying about trophies and trebles and blah blah blah, I'm not a City fan anyway so I couldn't care less. )

[musicmod]

check out ocean colour scenes radio version of this song on youtube.....

they do their 96 classic "the circle" accoustically and at the end they break into this fabulous chorus!!

also the dj guy 4rm the radio was a member of the inspiral carpets!!!

Ocs Rock!!!!

[DW1981]

This is how it feels to be Burnley

This is how it feels to be sad

This is how if feels

When your sister's fucking your dad

[mickburnley]

prick

[SDuff85]

This is how it feels to be city

This is how it feels to be small

This is how it feels

When your team wins nothing at all!

[01j07]

this is how it feels to be besty

this is how it feels to be drunk

this ishow it feels

when you drink yourself to a pulp

[SDuff85]

How Touche.

[NIELD8969]

[bohsblur]

i am glad tom hingley beat gallagher for lead

singer in the inspirals. they are very different singers and toms voice is perfect

for the tunes of oldhams finest. oasis bore

me now. moooooooooo!

[LiveForever9]

haha you let noel gallagher get away!!! biggest mistake inspiral carpets ever made! nice song btw =)

[helenkiller]

Don't be stupid, oh wait too late.

[LiveForever9]

yeah imagine the songs they would of had with agreat songwriter like that. Who remebers inspiral carpets nowadays????

[helenkiller]

We need underdogs. Maybe most people will never know the Inspiral Carpets but is'nt that better for us that do?

[LiveForever9]

i woudnt say they were "underdogs"... but some relativley "unknown" bands are gems.

[helenkiller]

Alright son whatever, your the one that says no one remembers them.

Lets face it Noel is only as good as the songs he rips off and he rides that same old lead like he's fucking Santana.

The world dosen't need another song about his stupid girlfriend and how he's sad cause he did too much coke.

[LiveForever9]

seriously, where the hell did that come from!?!

[helenkiller]

Don't take it personal man. Definatly Maybe was great. A lot was borrowed. I have no problem with that really. But yeah the Inspirals are more unique. It's just opinions friend.

[LiveForever9]

No no i wasn't taking it personally....i just didnt get....oh nvm!

[bilicana]

TOM HINGLEY.. BEST SINGER IN MANCHESTER..

inspiral carpets BEST BAND IN MANCHESTER..

END OF STORY.. Moo!

[jackbrady1]

noels a much better singer

[ShakeAlongWithMe82]

Hey guys, I hate to burst your bubble (fuck that, no I don't) but I have audio of Clint Boon on XFM saying the words "Noel Gallagher, the greatest songwriter this country has ever produced". Please, let's not even argue this. The sky is blue, the grass is green (hopefully) and Noel Gallagher is one of the best songwriters to ever live. Fact, Fact, and FACT. Sorry mates, time to wake up.

[scotty2707]

Your opinion, everyone is entitled to theirs

[CapitalCityScumbag]

i agree

[Kat151]

Yeah, cos Noel just pisses all over Marr/Morrissey, Lennon/ McCartney, Joy Division, Kirsty MacColl etc. etc.

If you need Clint Boon to validate your own opinion for you, you need to 'wake up'.

[ShakeAlongWithMe82]

Wow, do you think the lead singer of this band regrets not allowing Noel Gallagher into the band?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, ahhhh the stuff legend is made of. Poor guys...

[bagzie]

Ahhh takes me back to me yoof....the days of madchester

[rockandrant]

Moooooooooo. MADchester rocks!!!!

[plonkerfest]

[rockandrant]

Mad, mad MadChester I love it

[pembo18]

[bohsblur]

clint boon on backing vocals..

gallagher was rejected as a singer.

[Oasisandtoonfan]

Is that Noel Gallagher singing backing vox in the chorus? ( he was a roadie for with them for awhile)

[SteveNeptune]

Roadies don't generally get to sing.

[dmk6468]
