It's been 6 months since a comment, I really dig this song. Let's here it for a song that came out 15 years ago.... !!!!!

Thanks for posting.. I had a tape of their Glasto set in my car in the 90s and must have listened to this song hundreds of times.. Louise never had the most powerful voice so it made the bit in the middle even more startling. A decade later it hasn't lost that quality. I saw them play in Birmingham with 60 ft Dolls.. very cool evening.

@StupidNutter the reason you don't get crowds like this any more is because everyone is too busy filming with their phones.

@LTF6161 I never said it was a matter of skill at all... it's just that modern crowds are so boring and don't dance like this anymore. It's just brilliant to watch or be part of a mass like that. I don't understand modern crowds.

@StupidNutter

A crowd jumping in sync...is a skill? No, ball room dancing is a skill (which I cannot do btw)

Louise has a beautiful voice. One of the finest.

@KotelShilo

Me too...but I think the 60s-90s was it for this kind of music...for at least a LONG while. Now and for the dull foreseeable future its mind numbing techno-pop/ rap combinations and Lady Gaga (ie a poor retro imitation of Madonna). There is decent music being performed out there, but it's not going to be mainstream for who knows how long. Ten years if were lucky, fifty if we are not

I LOVE to see a crowd jump in sync!

[KotelShilo]

So love this music and miss it dearly. Come back.
