  • Their you are listening to a awesome song, then some shitty advert starts up and fucks it all up, YOUTUBE YOU FUCKIN SUCK COCK.

  • Wow, my name is in a song!!!!

  • @jujud0ll me 2

  • @ xoxojuliemarie

    My name is also julie ;D

  • The other version is much better imo!

  • A little bit of warmth in this cold world!

  • my name is julie !

  • love the bag-pipes, mate.

  • The crags of sterling makes the hairs on my very celtic arms stand up.

  • The social commentary of this song is so powerful. Julie could be me, you, your neighbour or anyone. I don't agree with all that The Levellers have to say. I do however, applaud the way they engage one's mind to think and discuss the morality of our culture. They really do remind one to be an individual and stand up and be counted. The music is great too! Thank you for this posting. I think I will have to go and slap one of their CDs on.

  • lol thats funny my name is julie

  • my name is julie! lol but song is kinda off no offense :D

  • Mmm so this so well and my name is julie

  • I fucking hate the conservatives, and their whole "I'm alright Jack" ideology. Like they made it, and everybody else is beneath them. That the working people are lazy scroungers who leech off the noble rich. Damn Tories can't help forever devising methods to earn public favor by making the poor "earn" their benefits, yet praise the parasites who sit on their fat asses without a care in the world, and deny all opportunities to those who are less privileged by an accident of birth.

  • this is wonderful thank you for posting it 

  • as of 3.10 it sends chills up my spine.....

  • let me try to guess who the 4 dislikers are:

    the only people who i can think of who are still alive and don't have a soul are:

    T. blair, M. thatcher, D. camron & N. clegg

    so i'll go with them.

    thumbs up if u think i'm right :P

  • have a little look at my version of the original acoustic version of this classic. just search for kevo1978

  • momkara<3

  • FUK ME IVE CRIED TO THIS FOR YEARS !!! IM 23 REMEMBER MY MUM LISTENING TO IT YEARS AGO ! LOVE IT ! EPIC SONG

  • cool bird x

  • That is an amazing song!

  • Awesome song, still good to ear the levellers, got many of their songs on my ipod nano.... seen them in Wolverhampton 2000, now come to Aus and tour !!! Love the pipes as always !!!Up The Levellers !!!

  • Nice song

  • Can anyone name the bagpipe tunes for me.

  • @sundayliein4 The bag pipes bit is called Flowers of the Forest

  • @sundayliein4 The bag pipes bit is called Flowers of the Forest

  • @rose44556 Hmm. Thanks!, but I think there are two tunes. Unless I am wholly ignorant there are two; observe the change in tune and tempo after 04:20.Sorry if this sounds snarky, it's not meant to be. I was told the second tune was "Sterling Castle" but cannot find a good upload on Youtube.All the Best , Yorkshirebloke!

  • the bagpipes..........quality : )

  • höhöhöhöhö :D

  • ........My Name Is Julie. o.O

  • @IWuvYooh100 my too :''D

  • @JuliiiexXxx Lolz :D

  • my name is Julie!!!!!!!! and i was the only child

  • Potters1863 - TEN YEARS OF LEFTY RULE? WHAT THE F$CK ARE YOU ON ABOUT? Since when were new Labour a party that can in any way be described as left-wing? Seeing as you clearly don't follow politics, let me bring you up to speed. Tony Blair scrapped 'Clause 4 of The 'Labour' party, effectively denouncing it's socialist intentions. Anything that the Labour party have done since then, are based on oldschool tory party policies anyway. They are in no way synonymous with socialist politics.

  • lovely song ok depressive, but at the time it was what was going on in britain, thatcher you never 1 , nor did the bullying u dished out.

  • Not advertising but if you like the bagpipes, this is my personal favourite!

    I do not own or claim anything on this video i just like the song :)

    Enjoy!

    Scotland the Brave (Lyrics) -Type that in

  • Great song!

  • Intersting comment about Thatcherism. Considering the mess over a decade of leftist rule has left us in, you'd take the Iron Lady back tomorrow. She smashed union power and dragged this country up by the bootstraps.

  • this depresses me. and makes me want to go to ireland

  • One of my favourite songs of all time. Thanks for sharing! :0)

  • the underwolves are from a book by d meacham showing the decay in the south wales valleys and the feral youth growing there today hope this helps

  • the mother of my son was named julie, and by gods did she match this song exactly... classic thanks ;-j

  • for the underwolves

    

  • @daffodil97 'underwolves'? i think i understand what you mean... ,just curious ;-j

  • one of the best songs in terms of writing in my opinion. fuckin class

  • I love how this songs haunts me. Still!!!

  • i love this song.... and FrancicLes is right ! it;'a lament 2 the shite we now have to work through because as hooman beeens we're a selfish fucked up idiotic, moronic bunch who feel owning a new i-phone, tv , or i-pad makes us worth summat !....we're all animals and need to realazize the fact !! grow up peeps, kill ya old relatives and welcome to the real world :-)

  • this songs ring true just as much today as the day it was written.....timeless peice of music

  • cool

  • lol FranticLes, things are a much better now aren't they? The country has took a major step forward over the last decade or so. * chuckles *

  • @JamesG777 ....I look at the human race ... and I feel pity, we are capable of such greatness, how sad it is that so few of us are able to live up to the ideals we set ourselves, and yes I do count myself amongst that number, 40+ years of brainwashing are hard to override....

  • best tune ever,i get goose bumps

  • Few tracks capture the bitter sweet feeling so well.

  • Nice job.

  • spot on frantic...

  • I think you are all missing the point of this song, it's not about Julie or Heroin, it's about society, written at a time when the country was just coming out of the arse end of 11 years of Thatcherite rule, all major industries had been plundered and privatised, unemployment at it's highest ever, what hope for those who tried to live a normal life, beaten back at every turn by the social system, it speaks of the lows people are reduced to when faced with insurmountable odds, but also of hope!

  • @FranticLes dead right when i heard this song 17 years ago it said all of what u spoke of and more

  • @FranticLes - no it's not, it's about Julie who was on heroin.

  • @ChrisH346 no reference is ever made or implied to Julie being on Heroin, she leaves home at 16, gets a job, falls in love gets a house, made unemployed, gets depressed at the hopelessness of her situation, ends up in a council flat in a block full of junkies, her only view of the world is the one through her window, she ends up hating her situation and feels victimised by society and the system , but still has hope (as expressed in the final line) .. maybe you are listening to a different song!

  • @FranticLes Do you have to spoil all fine tracks with politics? Maybe it was hard to live but Thatcher stopped the crisis. Even her greatest enemies can't deny it but go to hell with all this leftest theories ... let people listen to good music. Better than on the TV

  • @Naoczny2 hmmm just checked my posts , can't see any mention of politics, I did mention Thatcher who was a politician, but it would be a hard stretch of anyone's imagination to say my usage of her name had any political agenda.

  • @FranticLes reminds me of my teens!!!!!!

  • @FranticLes WELL SAID MATE

  • @FranticLes absolutely spot on - isn't about drugs or anything else - merely about how fucking difficult it is to get anywhere nowadays, make anything of yourself. It's no coincidence that, after Labour managed to pull us out of the Thatcher years, the con-dems have now decided to fuck us over royally instead. Aint blaming them, per se, we're screwed whoever's in charge - but I think Labour did a better job. And thanks Wangerz for putting this vid up

  • @FranticLes well said ,,,,,,,,,

  • :'(

  • Love the song, and the bagpipes are haunting.

  • I know what you mean about the bagpipes, every night I see them floating in and out of my room through the walls, playing a tune akin to something by moZart

  • Havent listened to this in a while, Its pretty much what mum went through, only she ran away from home and didnt get given a council place.

    Couldnt be more proud of her tbh she's done so much when she came from pretty much nothing ^^

  • See them tomorrow in Bochum (Germany).

    Btw: My name isn`t Julie and I´m male but I also know what it means to feel alone in a crowded room.

    Cu.

  • Beautiful song, well made clip.

    See them next week, looking forward.

  • were you seeing them butty comment back plzs tar

  • This is true about me. plus my name is julie.

  • Lovely song...nuff said!

  • I would say this song is on the same par as eleanor Rigby,

    (Loneliness comes in different shades of gray) Thanks for the Upload!

  • i love this song

  • Big deal squisshing said its about her? Im pretty sure she knows it wasnt but she 'relates' to it :) jesus.. what is it with some of you youtubers your so harsh and serious... CHILLOUT.

  • this song is not based or about you at all!!! this song is about a heroin addict. About a life of a girl who had problems and turned to heroin. if you listen to the lyrics you will see

  • i dont think julie turned to drugs, its just the place she lived was full of them, if you listen theres nothing about lovely old julie smackin up is there.

  • your 100% right, there's only a few references to drugs, "stepping over blackened spoons" and narcotic stare but those are the people around her. in my view of this song, she is just a very lonely person who struggles to fit in, but thats just my opinion lol probably isn't want the songs about at all lol

  • this song is true bout me

  • you know what, my best friend is my homie and she is out going fun to be with and always the one who wants to do something or play something be outside active and she is NOT!!!!!!!! lonely and wasnt born that way her name is julie too

  • cool my name is julie and im not like that

  • my name is Julie but i'm not lonely

  • The song belongs to another age, sweethart!

  • thats me :D

  • top class

  • saw them as a teen..in 1993...loved that song from scratch!

    and still do!

  • Hey Hiosho....Saw them in Bristol in 2007 and they're still utterly brilliant. I've been listening to them since 91, and they just keep getting better. Like you, I loved them from the start, a truly under-appreciated band, simply awesome.

  • I married someone called Julie, She was evil....It's no wonder that she was an lonely girl!

  • brilliant tune

  • First time ive heard this in about 6 years, goosebumps. One of the best bands ever

  • this song was so written for me.

  • The words are still relevent today! Sadly.

  • brilliant song, brilliant band!

    I most almost cry by this song (':

  • whats this sonag actuslly about. i heard its based on jeremy's experience of being a heroin addict. and that its about the experiences of a heroin addicted girl.... a friend of mine from college's mum started crying when i played her this song because its exactly what happened to her when she was a teenager (she moved from high wycombe to blackbirdleys when she lost her job)

  • I cried, touches me every time.

  • why have people spammed this comment? he/she could be saying they have alife like julie and want to change it!!!

  • yeah so you go spam my fucking comment aswell... ok nice. whatever!! i dont give a fuck

  • great song for the monday morning blues.

  • You can see it like that way. The pipes starts not so happy but it ends better. With a little immagination there is a better end for Julie.

    Greeds from Holland

  • this is one of those songs that make you sit and think...........beautiful!!!
