  • Great!

  • I love this song. Can't stop playing it. Tried looking on itunes to download the single or album it's on but can't find it. Any suggestions?

  • I remember hearing this tune for the first time when i was 17, and over 10 years later it's still the most awesome track. it's truly awesome - I really think it's time they did a reunion tour

  • @ukdj35 They have done quite a few reunion tours m8

  • Fellas, say this to your bird & you're in

  • Fella's, say this to your bird & you're in

  • @SheffieldBeagles I deleted an apostrophe. Perfect punctuation persistently.

  • i loved this song when it came out. i hadn't heard it since then. i am now obsessed with it again

  • am i the only one who is reminded heavily of smash mouth when i listen to these guys. and believe me thats a good thing :)

  • ali bought me my first legal pint, and many after that XD

  • Stick your X factor, this is proper music

  • classic tune i was only about 14 when it came out brings back great memories

  • i love this song. couldn't find it anywhere and now here it is. i love you tube!!!

  • Pure

    

  • what a tune! it's been stuck in my head all day

  • I love this damm song - was my weeding tune which the DJ got confused about.

  • fuck cant find a video of this song live.....

  • @roflsteaksauce where are you searching... in your underwear draw?

  • TITAN A.E >.<

  • Wow, no one told me Keanu Reeves had a band.

  • @CaptainCrunchOwns DOGSTAR.

  • reminds me of being 15. Awesome.

  • Still one of the most poignant songs I've ever heard

  • makemakemake COSMIC CASTAWAY ON VIDEO = =

  • that guy is fat now, damn.. that depressed me..

  • oh god, is this band from yeovil? in a month i will move there for a year...

  • Top tune this, reminds me of Uni

  • I love this song and have the single somewhere - but its not on itunes? Come on! I see someone make the same remark one year ago....

    Just love it!

  • Awesome tune, awesome video, takes me back :)

  • TOP TOP Tune 8=)

  • Quality tune I saw muse support these guys back in the day @ the lemon grove Exeter, anyone got the video to best friends girl ?

  • I'm suprised these guys didnt make it big as this song is epic.

  • MMAIO Afterglow (youtube that !!!!!!!!)

  • absolute class found the cd again yesterday me and the good lady used to listen to this all night ! great band great song

  • @ THEkendarkness - I used to work for Nigel Nisbet's father-in-law and followed these guys for a long time. They were together and playing music like this before Oasis made a name for themselves even in the UK. I heard this demo a few months before the US release of "What's the Story Morning Glory?" Oasis' influence was minimal if any.

  • I've racked my brain to think of the title of this song and band name just so I could hear it again. I remember having this on cassette single! lol Love it!

  • good video ali u rock gritars rule

  • I like this song too but it wasn't ahead of its time. Very much of its time. Influenced by Oasis (don't tell me it's not). At least their name was better than before - I seem to remember they were called The Ultimate Cool or something.

  • @THEkendarkness I would agree we (Electrasy) were pretty much of our time rather than before it, though to be fair, I wrote Morning Afterglow in 1994 (And we recorded it - this version, which was the demo in a garage in Yeovil in 1995). So while Oasis were around, + pretty big, they weren't the dominant influence you might expect. Morning Afterglow was also not a typical Electrasy song, and much of the other stuff we recorded was far more forward looking (especially our second US album).

  • @cosm1ccastaway @cosm1ccastaway Didn't mean to sound harsh. I suppose it makes sense that Electrasy were influenced by the same kinds of music as other groups of the time and that what you were doing was part of the "evolution". I did see you play around 97, 98, so I know it wasn't a typical song for you. However, it is a good song and I bought the single back in the day. I think it was the uploader's comments that made me reply about being of your time.

  • so many memories of listening to this song on Napster. I wish the band was more main stream, they would have a huge following if they were advertised properly.

  • one of my favourate songs of all time, saw these guys live 3 times all in tiny venues, they so deserved much more

  • Brings back alot of strange memories for me.

    I dont think I could explain....but part of it involves Gundam Wing's Duo Maxwell.....

  • fucking excellent video..all done in one take!

  • swore this used to be on constant repeat on our college common rooms jukebox! ahh 98/99 those were the dayz

  • my favorite bar song!

  • I worked for this lot in their rehearsals, they worked very very hard and had a load of otr special club sarnies. none of us could ever understand where they went wrong. my boss reckoned it was an age thing they were in their early 30's then and seemed so old and experienced to me. but if you have not had a huge hit by 30 thats it. now I look every inch my 37yrs and Ali here looks like some whippersnapper i'd just ignore now ha ha. I still have a copy of the c,d and whistle this a lot.

  • Like listener below, I listened to WBRU back in the day when this song was on. Was one of my favorite songs of my youth. Long time since then.

    You can find this group on iTunes now, actually people.

  • 95.5 WBRU in Providence RI. used to play this song a lot years ago. It's definitely tough to find in the U.S. A good friend of mine used to work at the radio station and I had the CD single that the station gave away for contests. Always loved this song. Totally underrated by U.S. radio.

  • I tried but couldn't find at emule...

  • if you are still looking for a mp3 of this i could email you one :)?

  • I'll be glad if u could:)

  • Why why why is this not on iTunes?

  • Why why why do you care if it is? If you want it just download it, anywhere, TPB, demonoid, mininova, etc.. if all fails use eMule.

  • Cuz, like all companies..they don't give a shit about music. They give a shit about money. And sadly, not many people are clickin and typin to find this bad-ass song on itunes.

  • @lemina1

    itunes sucks thats why. never buy ANYTHING from apple. every apple product comes with a pure SUCK guarantee. a guarantee that reads: "This product looks very stylish! Isnt spending double what its actually worth reasonable??? I MEAN, LOOK AT IT! it looks cool! the product itself isnt built as well as other competitors, but just look at it!"

    ffs. the only reason apple is the leader in mp3 players is because they are the only advertisers in the mp3 player market. apple, you can suck it

  • @lemina1

    You might find it in the amazon store.

    Besides, why buy from itunes? Their DRM ensures that the music you buy is never really yours, as you cant make copies of it or anything. I'd much rather buy a CD and really own the music I pay good money for.

    Amazon tracks have no DRM either.

  • @lemina1 zamzar . com from there you can make it a music file

  • @lemina1 It is now, I bought it last week.

  • @lemina1 It is..

  • I saw these guys play on the radio one roadshow in bournemouth 11 years ago! i fell in love with this song that day, still have the single with the "the drummer's gone to the pub" mix lol

  • my boyfriend now works and lives in ali's off licence :3

  • wheres Ali's off licence to?

  • Great song, coldplay copied the music video style.

    Cosmic castaway was a awesome song too.

  • i <3 cosmic castaway!!

  • Come back boys!!!!! PLEASE!

  • Cheers for putting this on here. Saw them at the Roadmender in Northampton when I was working behind the bar. Happy days!!!!

  • excellent people, brings back the goodtimes

  • saw them at the student union at stirling uni back in autumn 1998. this realllly takes me back!!

  • this takes me back, oh to be 17 again

  • loved bein 17 :)

  • its one of those songs that are so-so, but the chorus makes up for it....

    yet this ones chorus is just like the so-so parts.

  • i remember seeing these at fisral beach,newquay,bak in the day,were are they now

  • love this song

    takes me back

  • awesome awesome awesome awesome!

  • thanx for posting this amazing song cant get it anywhere used to listen to it on xfm years ago if anyone knows anywhere i can buy it post on here please

  • Amazon on single. x

  • ebay

  • fuckin love it

  • Man, me too. Just tried to buy it on itunes and it wasn't there. Brilliant song, loads of memories of 6th year at school and this song and mates and the nonsense, good memories....

  • They are a great band  ;o

  • They were a great band.

  • This takes me back, been looking for it for ages!Thanks for posting.

  • This song is just so good. So frustrating that I can't find it on Itunes or Spotify. I always thought it was pretty famous?

  • This song was a really big song in a relationship i had with a girl who i thought was a wonderful girl back in 98/99. It was our song, Sadly she turned out not to be the one for me, but just remembered this song, and here it is, wonderful tune.

  • I keep coming back to this video! so i just went to complimentaryringer. com and put it on my cell!

  • hello people. thanks for the positive comments. Ali.

  • totally awesome song !!!!!!!

  • Great album, a bit before there time if you know what I mean. My fave was the remix of Best Friends Girl. If anyone has the vid, please post it. PLEASE!!!!

  • yes I NEED to see this video.. I'm in it..

  • stop lying you pervert.

    I, on the other hand, am actually in said video and it has to be said did a fantastic job despite only being an extra. As for internet nobodies such as tatsie well they can lick my balls.

  • people like you make me sick

  • I don't know what you mean???

    All I want to do is see the music video, Best Friends girl as I was one of the large cast in 1998 in London..

    Why would I make you sick because of this?

  • Man, wish they'd come back and re-release this, I swear it would do better now then it did then!

  • I have their Beautiful Insane album & it is one of my faves!!

  • This is such an awsome song.

    I still cant decide which is best.

    .....Morning Afterglow or Cosmic Castaway.......

  • There both terrific so don't try to choose, just listen to them.

  • thts a beautiful song

  • in my opinion, its an all out good song, but I still have to agree with "rayray" to me, it doesn't fit the video. sorry

  • LOVE this song! I have always loved Electrasy every since the movie Titan AE introduced me to them via their song Cosmic Castaway. However, I am not really feeling this vid...except for a few interesting moments, this vid drags and is overall boring. It also doesn't have all that much to do with the lyrics and that has always been my pet peeve as far as music vids go. Oh wells, the song is still beautiful and the lead singer is a total cutie, so it was still kinda fun to watch :)

  • You have no idea how much the video actually fits. Its all a big poem you see: Its telling you that when your life has fallen apart because of a relationship to clean it back up.

  • .<3

  • amazing video, brings back alot of funny memories..

  • this is a great song, and the song Bussed Out is so awesome, this is the best band

  • awesome song although i prefer angel from the album beautiful insane which i just bought of ebay which makes it the fourth time i have owned it lol both songs would be on the soundtrack of my life so far A+ great band

  • drummer367.....you gimp!! Take ya student nonesense elsewhere....tune this!!

  • I wish i could clean my room in reverse in stead of doing any work.

  • Just rummaged through my old Cds and i came across this absolute Gem always reminds me of my little girl,she was born when this came out.What a f**kin great song.

  • Does anyone have *any* idea how to get my hands on their album(s)?? I've been loving this song for 10 years and never heard anything else from them.. I think.. :) and do you know anything about their current life? Anyone of them in the business anymore?

  • try ebay 'beautiful insane' their first album is on there . their second in here we fall is hard to find . managed to get a promo copy from usa . good luck

  • i thought it was oasis when i first heard it years ago

  • my man luvs this song he thinks of me wen he listens to it. x

  • i remember seeing these guys in bournemouth on the radio 1 roadshow 10 years ago! shame they were dropped after the 2nd single :(

  • I remember going to V98 and this got played on the big screens while we were waiting for the next band and everyone screamed along - good times!

  • love this sonng

  • hmm.....just makes you wanna fall asleep just after gettin' in a relationship....

  • Sounds like a boring relationship

  • Nice song. I know Nigel's brother. He told me about this group and he was right. They rock.

  • Wnet to school with Nigel, Priddy and Jim - never heard this song till today!!! Good going guys!!!!

  • Got Entracned with Cosmic Castaway when i first watch Titan AE in 2002.

    Recently watched the movie again and i got the track, one of my favourites.

    This is very good.

  • used to sing this song in pubs with my then mate, absolutely fantastic song. still sounds very fresh, my eighteen year old nephew thought it was fantastic and couldn't believe it was ten years old.

  • you helped me I have badly afterglow

  • i really love this song :) i havent heard it for years but it still sounds like new

  • remember this song from 98,forgot all about it.

  • Memories of my first T in the park! what a truly great song.

  • Truly a great song! Thx for posting this, good to know they are still making music.

  • omg 4got about this band til now saw them play in a club in yeovil in about '98 and still got their cds, where are they now ???

  • i effin love this song man! music is my boyfriend!

  • I never saw them live. I just started listening to them but they're my favorite band. This song sounds different from the one I downloaded though.

  • shit i cant beleive i just found this...i remember this song from '98...lost classic

  • fantastic & an excellent video

  • Yeah love this song another lost song from the ninetees that was great that was forgotton was a band called Headswim with a song called Torniquet!

  • yeah i remember that headswim song! thanks for reminding me!

  • hey jonathonuk

    - quite agree, one of the most beautiful and heartfelt songs ever written- heard it live in canterbury about 10 years ago and still quite awesome!

  • Listened to this because I remember it on XFM years and years ago and not heard for a long time. Not quite as good as I remember but still enjoyable.

    A good, but not great, band. For lost 90s classics try Theaudience - perhaps a pessimist is never disappointed or I know enough

  • love this song; but cosmic castaway's my fav.

  • whatever happened to them i sqaw them live and thought it was great

  • a lost classic of the 90's, brilliant tune

  • yeah you right Not a lot of people know about Electrasy, this is a wonderful song, others song like cosmic castaway are awesome but this is one of my favorite, i can't stop to hearing

  • Beautiful song...what a great voice he has. Not a lot of people know about Electrasy, it's too bad.

  • Perhaps the most beautiful and amazing song ever made.... and yet hardly anyone remembers it! Such is life, eh?

  • music without industry are what ther all about now

  • thanks to youtube I can hear this great song again, Mark Radcliffe played it on his radio show in 98, remember hearing it, gave me the shivers! sad to see they are no more!

  • Awesome song, could still make it today. I heard it from the start. Remember you playing the last gig in 'The Gardens' Yeovil and will see you at the quicksilver this week.

  • considering a really talented band like electrasy didn't make it to the top makes me understand why evanescense did.

  • This song was played at my mates funeral a few years back. Quite possibly one of the best sons of all time!!

  • i know him he works at my local shop he plays his is quitar all the time

  • this song in in my top 10 songs of all time! good album aswel.wher were they from? i heard this for the first time at the football.then went out and got the album next day!pure quality!wot thwy doin now?

  • I had a friend who claimed to know them.

  • i no them ther my mums friends

  • why do you live on portland in england

  • no ther my mums friends

  • nice beech i used to go as a kid all the time wonder what happened to this band

  • wow - still amazing everytime you here it

    reminds me of dit 2000 exams - mickey c, padraic, kelly, del, andy, dec, boiled eggs the morning before!

  • i looked for this video for ages a while back but could not find,

    anyway that's why i love youtube you can find almost everything that would be impossibe anywhere else.

    cheers

  • First time i've seen this video for ages, this was a cracking band. I remember listening to this song for the first time, I wasn't that impressed, but it grew on me, and helped me get into their album which was also very good, 'morning afterglow' 'lost in space' 'strawberry sunrise' cracking stuff.

  • this song was used by t park wedding guys use it realy like it

  • Yeah the Titan AE album was very good for a movie that wasnt too great. Good video, good song, thanks!

  • Good song. I heard these guys for the first time on the Titan A.E. soundtrack (my first CD, too!) and I wondered why I never heard about them again. Pity they never made it. Ahead of their time is the unfortunate label I must attach.

  • heard this song years ago, thought it was awesome! forgot who did it and just found out!! thanks

    made my day

  • Fantastic song, the whole album is great. I once had the 'making of' video for this but have lost it. If anyone has it and can upload it that would be great. It was all filmed, played and sung backwards in one take then reversed to give us this.

  • amasing tune, if this was re-released today i think it would do alot better than it did at the time.

  • yes this is a great one

  • findin this video again just made my month!

    fkin awesome!

  • Great Song! Still Got The Album!!

  • great tune, great vid...

  • I also saw this band in the mid to late ninties doing the pub circuit in England. I got autographs and everything. Was convinced they were gonna be massive. Still sounds awesome and the video is so much better than Coldplays effort. When the coldplay vid came out and everyone was getting all excited about how clever it was, I rmember thinking,"yeah, but Electrasy did it years ago already"

  • Very fine song! well done.. shame the world's not been listening...

  • first saw/heard them in oct. 2000 in charlottesville, va, usa. they were opening for the band my boyfriend was in at the time. they soundchecked with this song. about 5 months later i saw this video.. who could forget this song - it's gorgeous and sweeping!

  • Love this tune. Remember buying this about 1998

  • Great video and song.

  • Great song

  • Yeah. This is great

  • What a bloody top tune, and this video is equal too it, tip top!!!
