[nativesun100]

no future or past

[joseantoniomesquita1]

Bárbaro!!! música e video, e ainda por cima amiga do inesquecível Bert Jansch.

[theweelassie]

i wish i was this dress just after 3:41 ....

[BohemianConspiracy]

i wish i was this man just after 3:00 ...

[jrfaug06]

This is best version of her song.

[ch1429]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[driedmucus]

I always want to hear this whenever I'm walkin'

[snorley51]

[iwaswayoff]

@snorley51 What he said!



[MsGeekomatic]

@snorley51 Yes!!!!

Please Beth Orton!

WA, especially, needs a real artist!! Come to Perth- & better- to Mandurah?

[purplemonkey4000]

Why don't strange women on the street ever give ME their sweater and dance with me?

[saimon8719]

=) (L)!!!

[MrSloika]

Where was this video filmed?

[mascisken]

The sort of music you wanna hear after a hard day at work

[thesolitaryparty]

LIKE! i want a vinyl copy!

[Lancea10t]

I have always loved this song and was thrilled to stumble upon this video. Thoughtful and fun!!!

[Picnicl]

Not as good as the official version.

[superbrat87]

Takes me away into this amazing dreamy rhapsody of unconditional being

[47cardinal]

thank you to vanessa carlton and her youtube channel mix for introducing me to this (new to me) british artist ... beth orton is an instrumental and vocal gift to the world; reminds me of a tall suzanne vega but the comparison is humbly meant only to enhance both of them ...

[SketchyOldHamster]

Beth hits that spot in your heart and spine

[SketchyOldHamster]

beth hits that spot in your heart and spine

[chrisatlafrenee]

big girl!

[MsLadytron]

I want that dress too

[3and25]

This is the voice of a woman in love with the day and the breeze and the sunlight; fully living free and in the moment, knowing now is precious and fine enough.

[b2367]

very very nice :-)

[kaari1]

Great song!! If you like this check out the band INOUWEE with the song "Devil noise"

[ukhio]

I love u Beth thx for making me feel cherfull this video goes to my fave

[ultrafelicity]

I am in love with this!

[britnellshouse]

just fantastic, everything about beth orton just fantastic

[ripples01]

quite simply, one of the most perfect songs written, sung and produced. Never get bored of this one and always puts a smile on my face .

'Today is whatever I want it to be '

[yesesita1]

Like a happy walk of shame :)

[valivin2003]

This has inspired me to bring more color in to my day. Thank you!

[jamelka]

NEVER will i tire of this song.....mmmmm i can still smell you on my fingers.....

[ZairaAmaterasu]

I feel like nostalgic for songs that remind me of happy summertime of my earlier days, not cos I am sad, but exactly cos I feel incredibly happy today.

This song is so cheerful.

And then I just love her voice.

[jsf1905]

@ZairaAmaterasu same, reminds me of happier times

[joaoiutube]

HI, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

very very good your videoclipe!

I'm a singer too and promove my new album singing only Sade, I hope that you enjoy!

[keepsake13121981]

everytime i see that video it makes me smile and song is awesome! love it<3

[triboy46]

Very talented, very well done. Today is whatever I want it to mean.

[DuncanShrekOgreMusic]

One Taste, One Love... Goddess....

[Ravencodeblack]

Did she just attack a random guy and force him to wear and dance in a red/pink shirt? lol

[welltoonces]

I mean this in a good way......her voice is orgasmic

[mkkoudy]

GREAT SONG!!! I love Beth vocal sing!!!

[rkartist6341]

A great talent.

[artbyregan]

love it

[tooclaws]

Class tune, I start everyday day listing to this song, then it can be what ever i want it mean. Thanks Beth

[usarmy4u]

It don't matter what she is, the music is great and that is all that matters.

[welltoonces]

yep

[toolgirl150]

oh the subtext easy on this one. There are many out there that would accept her love/her dance/her red dress - but the one she wants to give it to wants no part of it.

Such is love - such is life.

[rkartist6341]

@toolgirl150

And two dogs will get you around better then one.

[33dizzydog]

"Orton has been romantically linked with a number of high profile musicians, including William Orbit and Ryan Adams.[14] Adams' songs "English Girls Approximately", "You Will Always Be The Same" & "Friends/For Beth" were written about her.

Orton gave birth to a daughter, Nancy, in mid-December 2006"

[highbury1972]

fantastic beth orton!.also love her original track with finlay quay.. the dice.amazing voice.

[Treillage]

Ditto, LOVE the Song and what a Video!

[Algus14]

Love the video and the song...who gives a crap what you 'read' into this song...don't think about things so much your brain might explode! Love the song and video!

[vynterbone]

"This song is whatever you want it to mean."

[littlsuprstr]

if beth orton were pinning me to the ground and straddling me i would not be fighting it.

[RHutton2710]

Aye - one can but wish, however.

Would he be playing guitar and serenading at the same time?

[motoxxx174]

this was the song that got me into Beth Orton...first time I heard this was on a plane coming back from L.A. sometime in the 90's - brilliant song!

[popaddict]

this time is fine just as it is...

[septip123]

Beth breaks lily allen over her knee

[daisywaugh1]

@septip123 no comparrison mate

[maxlogica]

is she even wearing a bra in this video...?

[maxlogica]

your mum wasnt wearing a bra when she created you...it had been ripped off by the herd of apes fornicating with her

[RHutton2710]

Presumably your mother knows that you talk to people like that, young man?

[maxlogica]

You are right RHutton2710, my mum would be shocked by my obscene comments..please accept my sincere apologies and I already have slapped my bottom as punishment...

[gothicdevilgirl]

wtf

[bolabus]

i meant to write  the perfecto remix,they done mansun as well

[suze1958wilde]

Is she a lesbian? gothic girl asks ... exactly what I was thinking - she sure looks and walks like one in this video, and I think she looks gorgeous ..

To me, that line about finger-tips is dead sexy ...

btw north country boy - maybe you live a sheltered life, but plenty lesbians have kids - you don't have to live with a man to get a drop of sperm for baby-making purposes!

She's my pin-up girl this week, anyrate .. and surely that guy at the end of the vid is a gay stereotype too! LOL

[Waxthumper]

She went out with William Orbit! And one of the Chemical brothers I think... so no would be the answer

[bolabus]

the mansun remix is better

[Cudders37]

Dont be daft.

[noticeeverything]

I work with the guy walking beside her at 118-124 I often wonder where he goes for lunch now I know Hes hanging with BO go figure hes got it going on

[gothicdevilgirl]

IS BETH ORTAN A LESBIAN???

[northcountrybhoy]

are you a dick???

[gothicdevilgirl]

no im a girl and im saying that because if u listen to the song she saylast nights red dressand says i can still smell u on my fingers and taste u on my breathe

[northcountrybhoy]

girls can be dicks too you know!

Think its just lyrics for a her song not a real life experience! she has just had a baby so doubt she is a lesbian unless medical probabilities about girls impregnating girls has changed! dont think so tho....

[girl4trivium]

it is entirely possible for 2 women to have a child together...where have you been to not know this??

[pnnorton]

Maybe out of the loop but what does wearing a red dress have to do with a lesbian?

[gothicdevilgirl]

ur not understanding what im trying to get across.

she says central reservation last nights red dress i can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breathe.

and lesbian use there fingers and mouth to have sex.

ok you get where im coming from now.

[pnnorton]

I get that point but you seemed to make out in your original comment that "last nights red dress" was also a lesbian reference. Anyhow I pretty sure she isn't a lesbian she has been "romatically linked" to a number of male artists. She also uses the word fingers in Stolen Car on the same album with, "your fingers like fuses". It could be a veiled lesbian reference. But she probably just likes the way she can inflect her voice when saying fingers. As she does this in both songs.

[geektarhero]

ew, gross, i don't really think that's what the song is trying to say

[paulmerz]

Beth is sexy :)

Great song & album

[throwpopcorn]

Anything by Beth Orton is worth listening to.

[bigdsears]

Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired.

[echonoid]

Her voice is so beautiful, and the song, it's simply incredible.... Central Reservation xD.

Does anyone else realize how hilarious the clip is?

[CountessKarma]

That guy she had to chase down is kind of sexy.... I think I'd have been trying to take clothes off, not put them on.

[dkwhizzyboots]

beth orton is amazing seeing her live is brilliant she so sweet! i love her!!!

[csps65]

That is the beauty of song, cry and rejoice. Remember your last love? I'll bet you can still smell them or taste them and forgive them, well, for being them... Beth is wonderful!!

[jimefield]

This is amazing song never heard it before but it made me cry.

[xt11a]

beth orton is awsome

[Onlydreamin1959]

I've played this over.. and over.. and over.. Orton has such a distinctive voice I love the image of trying to get rid of that red dress.

[mellowbluebox]

She has a voice like no other! Impossible not to love her!

[caCgrav]

Une de mes chansons préférées !!!

[GailOrlando]

The Central Reservation CD in my home has the "grooves" worn off..I had to eventually replace it!!

[augwest45]

Actually,mine is too. last time i put it on it skipped! And it's my second copy. it's been my #1 for almost 10 years now. I never tire of it,like a pair of old slippers.

[GailOrlando]

u have me beat...wow...lots of good stuff out there but it's like Dylan...good is great and great seems hard to find these day...peace.

[bg147]

Same here

[andreves1382]

Que vozzzzzzz.........

[tomrom7]

The contrast is wonderful: Snging,dancing, and happinness, in a grim environment (New York's Lower East Side)

[hubbardsbubbas]

cant even remember where i heard this song. its so different. luv it x

[stefanackermann350]

i loooooooove it!

It's like...

It's like...

It's like... living in the middle of the ocean with no future, no past...

:D

[bill500carphead]

awsome voice

[ZairaAmaterasu]

This song is something that makes me sudden happy, cheerful, positive. Her voice has this effect on me here, a lot. The simple, yet lively video still one of my favs ever.

And, of course, she's also a wonderful voice and very talented singer.

[justinredman]

By far my fave song in my life. This is my theme song! I want to live by this song forever.... Today is whatever I want it to be.

[CountessKarma]

The best part has got to be where she's chasing that guy down... It's like "How DARE you be pissed off at me - now I'm gonna be pissed off at YOU! Get back here and put on this dress NOW!!!" - or like living in the middle of the ocean, with no future, no past... it's like that, too.

[aberaeron007]

Whats the album called...?????

[stecotorketor]

the album's name is "central reservation". listen to it. it's worth

[likeloop]

Such lovely memories.....

[rdw7300]

That's that Ben Watt joint. A beautiful song, a beautiful woman made glorious!

[frankinla]

She can still taste me on her breath! Don't I wish! =:-p Love it. Fived & faved.

[matheuhartog]

bij downloaden van wat lounge muziek o.a. dit nummer opgemerkt. Ik vind het een heerlijk relaxed nummer. Lekker ritme, persoonlijk hierdoor de neiging om het nummer constant te herhaald af te spelen!

[gigoma1]

if someone ever remakes the Popeye movie she could be the new Olive Oyl

[LuvSickPuppi]

smell u on my fingers!!!lol

[funk67]

F*ck it,We have all had that walkin on air feeling the morning after at least once in our lives........Embrace it people.

[missbrenna1]

nice observation of what's really going on ..

[soulsticka]

I don't think the video goes with the song

[KayumiNanahara043]

Yeah, i agree... ;/

[soulsticka]

love her voice dogg!

[everclever2006]

i love this song...and her voice!

[nalc892]

Many thanks to Beth Orton for bringing the fresh voice to us in this bland, Britney Spears saturated world. Even other alternative artists that grace our presence don't hold a candle to her.

[Godlike3000]

I love this girl, have done for years!

x x

[televene]

When I heard this song in the Bounce soundtrack I loved it and still do.:)

Check out my other favorites. Oh by the way, the one in the soap operas in my channel videos is me. Check it out. :)

[cantforgetyou]

I don't like her voice and the way she sings. I love william orbit, but this is not my thing.

[HO3NIR]

Then don't listen to it :)

[cantforgetyou]

Sometimes you have to open up your mind and look further. So that's why I listen sometimes to music what I don't know. Like Beth Orton. I thought that William Orbit would have produced it like for example Madonna's album. Bye.

[HO3NIR]

Oh, now I see your point :)

[seancoppinger]

beth orton on top of me, don't think I'd put up such a fight hehe

[manwithnoname123]

i've always loved this song and wow, what a cool video, too! it's so refreshing to see such a free spirited loosely structured video based on such a simple idea - hand over a red garment to people on the street and see what happens. great stuff. and beth seemed like she was having fun...

[SamFlippo]

My second fave song of hers, her voice is the absolute best there is.

[busastep]

whats your favourite? think long and hard!

[CountessKarma]

Probably "Blood Red River," or "Devil Song."

But I will always love "Stolen Car" and "She Cries Your Name."

[charracandulitos]

beth orton is amazing, sha has a beautiful voice, she plays the guitar very nice, she composes great songs. wow !!! superwoman .

i love her !

[nargus87]

I have never been as thrilled as I was when I found this album at a secondhand music store.

[KISHMABEAVER]

haha " radical" havent heard that for awhile!

[gsotoaz]

there are some AWESOME remixes of this song out there....GOD i think beth orton is so radical

[maelstrominme]

cool video ---- i too like it when she attacks the guy ----- come to think of it, i wouldn't mind having Beth sitting atop me at all :D ---- i prefer the " ibadan spiritual life mix " however. keep dancin' Beth!!!!!!

[prezzzzzz]

oh my god beth, you're my perfect woman

[rayhart]

"dreams do come true"

[lyntwaddle]

I like the bit where she attacks the guy, puts the dress on him and forces him to be happy. Seems a fair enough idea to me..... lol.

[sharkness7]

Is she a member of Finger Friday's on facebook? she should join with lyrics like that?

[billmarrs]

Today is whatever I want it to mean.

[ilovehoolahoops]

I love this song, it reminds me of wen I woz a little kid. I've never heard this version before tho, its beautifull.x.

[bethHYPHENortonDOTbe]

This version is on the same album as the original version, Central Reservation. It's a remix by Ben Watt

[Avaloner]

great music.
