Heard this voice peeking through the din of a busy restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, of all places. There’s something about his voice that’s resigned and strong at the same time, saying such bittersweet words, that got me hooked. Lovely, hidden gem of a song.

Played this at my son Ashley’s funeral, the lyrics mean so much to me,our relationship, and what happened the night I found him.

A much underated band. Anyone from Manchester who spent holidays in North Wales will identify with the scenes and story.......beautiful song.

John Bramwell has such a distinctive voice full of warmth and nostalgia

Such a stunning song, we can only hope that one day the world shares this view and recognises I Am Kloot for what they really are: Simply one of the hardest working and best bands currently out there. How can these guys not get the success they deserve when there's people who walk into fame just by going on shitty talent shows!

I'm an exiled Manc' (well more a Lanc') living in Norfolk. 9 years ago I got diagnosed with MS so I used all the money that me and my wife had ear marked to go towards a new house and bought a Swanky British '60s convertible classic car. I didn't know how much longer I'd be able to drive. We blasted up to the Northwest for a holiday where I grew up. This song, in fact the whole album, (but especially this track) provided the soundtrack for that great holiday. Seen Kloot several times since - love 'em. Cheers for those memories John!

First time I've ever heard I Am Kloot...so glad I found them! Listening from Aotearoa NZ in 2021.

Sheer brilliance, the greatest band most of the world have not heard of. Hope they do get the recognition they deserve for writing some of the best music and lyrics in recent years.

Brilliant song by John Bramwell that will always remind me of my friend Hazel Davies, who passed away recently. It was played at her funeral. She was a force of nature and loved Liverpool and the Northern Skies. 💔

This is one of favourite all time tracks in my life that i always go back to listen to.It is pure class and so is the album.

Saw John Bramwell at The Cluny in Newcastle last night. He hugged me. I don't need anything for Christmas now!

Absolutely fantastic song, up there with Nick Drakes Northern Sky. Superb.

I came across this the day my wonderful gorgeous partner was told there was nothing more they could do for his cancer. We're living every day as if it's our last

I Am Kloot are one of the best bands around and have been for ten years. This song is awsome. I can't get enough of it.

I am kloot, thank you . Transcendent.

And can I add.... One of these shores greatest song writers xxxxc easily

thanks lads. wonderful moments.

The Lead singer of I AM KLOOT Johnny or John Bramwell as he now refers to himself as crdited on their latest Album "Let it All In" [2013] once reffered to himself asJohnny Dangerously, I have an 80's 12" vinyl EP called "YOU,ME AND THE ALARM CLOCK" under that name but its now available on CD under his real name. He hassuch a fantastic distinctive air in his vocals that make you take notice I bought their self titled CD with black cover few yrs ago, still think its their best work personally.

Love this! Haunting words and melody ❤

just seen them live on Friday the 29th at the Tyne theater Newcastle upon Tyne and all i can say is ,FANTASTIC,totally amazing live singing,even better than the cd,if you get the chance watch these guys live,this was my 2nd time watching live and they just get better and better.

one of the best live bands ive seen in years,absolutely fantastic.

This pops into my internal monologue most days, never known why. The melody, the lyrics or something else, it just resonates like nothing else.

Love this song. Quite a haunting piece of music

These guys really deserve some national publicity!

great vid, superb song. As an exiled Northerner good to see Manc' refs. I remember driving down Bury road with my Dad. He always used to crack a joke about Salford Van Hire being a famous Lancastrian painter.

Loving the album. One of the best of 2010 so far. Think they deserve a mercury nomination for this one.

Seeing them next week live at sheps bush..cant wait..awesome band who should be huge...and this is a superb song from a wonderful album...

OMG I'm so in love with this song at the moment.............x

heartbreaking song of beauty

this is such a great song. defo a soundtrack to life on the road

I could see this on the radio. You guys sound great!

Stunningly beautiful

What a great band this is. Met the lads at Spaceland in Silverlake Los Angeles years ago, and it was an excellent show - then in Brighton's Komedia last year, where they were, again, excellent. Enjoyed the drum work a lot there, and the whole LP is worthwhile.

Lyrics: Above there are no stars tonight just northern skies Reflected light upon your face Some people think stars rule our lives, Some people they think otherwise They can be replaced. Where did you go on that big black night? Did you take the coast road back through your life? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well They'll do all right for me We shroud our lives in mysteries, Shooting stars and storming seas, if we Have any sense Storm clouds roll, they're free to break And we're free to make The same mistakes again and again Where shall we go On that big, black night? Shall we take the coast road back through our lives? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well They'll do all right without me Above there are no stars tonight, just northern skies Reflected light and fields of snow. Some people think stars rule our lives, Some people they think otherwise What does anybody know? Where shall I go on that big, black night? Shall I take the coast road back through my life? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well They'll do all right for me Where shall I go on that big, black night? Shall I take the coast road back through my life? See the sand, the moon, the stars that shine the light and say, well, They'll do all right for me See the stars and constellations Sit beneath their congregation

listen to this all the time love it......

i'm listening that song for the first time.. I think is amazing!

Another one from BBC's Ambulance series 5. Beautiful.

chris is amazing,this song is great

This video seems like something out of a dream.

Like the sound of them, very refreshing

Lovely.. absolutely lovely.. stay strong.. Xj

A real tune, song, great

wicked video some fantastic photography

If I didn't know better I'd swear I was listening to Dylan...in the words of the 9th Doc: "Fantastic!"

I am adding this song to my Townes van Zandt playlist. Enough said.

can't wait to see I am Kloot this summer.

Absolute quality!

to alex and paul i wish you all the love the sun is out for your big day! xx

these are the best band since inspiral carpets, in my humble oponion.

Love it

what a class tune used to sit next to jobson at middle school in northumberland was a top lad

Love it, Love it, Love it

lovely song :)

Boss track . Boss band. After this track I typed an R in the search bar and Richard Hawley came up. It knows it friggin knows....

Thought i'd squeeze this one in just to squeeze that other shite off the page. Well done Jonny dangerously !! D.B. The Gallery Appreciation society.

Really like this tune, lovely word's to ponder on, it remind's me of Bob Dylan

very good, man.

Just had this on repeat. Great song. Which loser chose the dislike button? Mug

Class song!

John bramwell !!!! Does anyone need more xxxx thanks for the greatest night in Edinburgh !!!!' The pegs don't work John and David, give me my cash back xxx lol best night ever,Na na na ma naaaaaaaa

@WASPS1867 Just got back from seeing them at the Buxtonm Opera House. They were superb.

Magic...

Love

Special tune, like it.

Hope these guys win the Mercury prize

@RoadCone411: The house shots are almost definitely somewhere in South Manchester. Other than that, I'd guess Wales (maybe the Llŷn Peninsula)?

I heard this song on am emergency ambulance programme and scrambled for my phone

This song is a trap. It won't let me to hear what the rest of the album is about, I have to listen to this one thirty times over before I'll even begin to explore the song no. 2.

love :D

"Literally - RUN!"

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

its my doctor!! :D the doctor the best wibbly wobbly timely wimey ...stuff. :D

@martcarey I am Kloot is the tittle of the song.

Quite a bit filmed on Anglesey:-) I know what I'll be playing in the car when I'm near Porth Dafarch/South Stack.

my space

@maireadre Agreed, Christopher Eccleston will always be my Doctor.

Cannot wait for the album ! Does anyone have the chords to this song please? Awesome!

My dad's song at his funeral

it's like listening to Dylan ( the voice ta least :P)

@Dan37064 yes you're right it does x

do you fancy a drink, i know a place called the brink,do you wanna go there.

Doncaster Live later!!

@strongtheme I can see where Jump is coming from. Although I think it's more like Snowbird by Anne Murray.........

an introduction to a guy who should be famous

@Echolyktuz , no it is not .I am Kloot is the name of the band, I have seen them and have the album.This song is called "Northern Skies"...ok?

@jumpintheriver2 different chords different beat different timing diferent words in actual fact a completeley different concept. If it reminds you of bobby mgeee that can only be a masif compliment to these guys as both are fantastic songs

He sounds like the decemberists guy in this song in my opin. Pretty qual.

DOCTOR! :D

I think it sounds like Willie Nelson singing a Dean Martin song - Gentle On My Mind. I like this though. Well done lads.

Thats how you do it

@8Rincewind ...only because he is a mega fan of the band, he has even acted as a roadie for them and does all this for free...top man, top band!

@maireadre Absolutely. =)

Has Christopher Eccleston only done 2 of their videos, why is he doing them?

First comment! This song is miraculous

they were great on Radcliife and Maconie. His voice reminds me of Robyn Hitchcock
