Anyone here in 2024? 🙂

Can we just take a minute to acknowledge how incredible Brianna's voice is!?

My mum has just passed, this was one of her favourite songs, I will never forget you mum, I love you forever 💙♥️❤️ Edit: I just want to thank everyone for the kind messages and love you have shown, it would put such a huge smile on my mum's face, she would say she is finally famous 😅 it's still hard but as most of you have said it has gotten a little easier with time, I still can't listen to this without crying though 😢 miss her so much

Might be the most underrated British band ever....this is art.

I never really appreciated your talent when we were younger, but Dave you really are talented. Im a very proud half brother of Dave's (the vocalist here), we both worked in music but in different capacities, inherited from our mother.

Adult music, with adult themes .. it's a shame, we need more of this now.

This song has a lot of the words I heard as my marriage was ending. I’m a man but the lady’s words in this song was me. The man’s voice is basically what my wife/ex wife said. I’ve not said you had ur fun but that’ll come I’m sure. Powerful to me at this sad moment in time.

Amazing song. Amazing band. I feel the beautiful south get forgotten about now days, and have been massively underrated.

Grew up with Beautiful South being played constantly by my parents throughout the 90s, it never rubbed off on me unlike much of my dad's other music did. I have to say now, at 31 years old, I think I get it!

I’d completely forgotten about the beautiful south until the other day when I found out dvd of all of the gold music videos. My childhood was sat having tea in the parlour in front of the TV and my sister and I always asking for that DVD to be put on. I’ve accidentally opened a huge world of childhood nostalgia. It’s funny seeing these videos and listening to the songs now and realising how innocent I was back then.

Any lockdown warriors on here looking back at better times!!!:-)) one day....

My mom and dad sing this song in the car as a duet and it’s the cutest thing because it’s all fun and games. And I want a relationship like that.

She's the best female singer the group had.

One word..... GENIUS

Brilliant song, brilliant lyrics. But the meaning of it all is so true to life.

Much love fae Scotland ❤

My sister passed away very recently, and this was the tune played at her funeral service XXX rest in peace Margaret.

Briana’s voice is so beautiful

Number One in the UK 30 years ago this week. Incredibly, it was the band's only UK singles chart topper, and that was only for just a week. A great track featuring the voices of Dave Hemingway and Briana Corrigan.

Imagine being able to sing as beautifully as her. Fuxxing amazing.

37 years of marriage and I'm in this place right now. The freedom that he wanted back is his for good I hope it lasts .

Wauw I liked this song when I was little, not knowing what it was about. Now listening it back as a grown-up I realise how well they put such heavy topic in a song. This duet is perfectly done!!

If you got married to music like this in the 80s and you’re still together, here’s to you, the glue, holding it all together

Absolute classic there voices complement each other perfectly.

Most amazing voice! Band was never the same when she left ! Moral of the storey, never argue with a ginge when she is surrounded by knives and flour.

A lyrical masterpiece, sharper than a scalpel

Of course ☺ I love this song 😍

Yes. I still like this song.

Isn't it funny how lockdown gives you time to rediscover gems like this...

30 years late, I have heard this song for the first time. It is so beautiful.

Who cares who is here in what ever year there always gonna be people with this song for many many many years to come

Music instantly reminds us of times in our life, happy times, sad times, people, things, places. """"Memories""".

I grew up listening to this as my mum was doing the housework,over 30 years ago now! Brilliant vocals ❤

Growing up as a teenager in the 90s I always loved the beautiful South. Most of my schoolmates thought I was square but they stood the test of time. I remember the first time I saw this video on the itv chart show (Saturday about midday, had rollercoasters in it- anyone remember??). I was captivated by the drama in this video and the lyrics. Amazing band with a rare ability to tell a story.

This has to be the calmest argument ever.... 😂 I grew up in the 1990s and loved TBS. Such a tune.

Completely fabulous, all the beautiful south female leads were outstanding, however Briana was a class apart, a snapshot in time when the world was a better place, take a bow B

Brilliant song the way it's composed it's all about the man than suddenly out the blue. Bang. The woman drops the bomb shell. Fantastic song brilliant lyrics

This is my favourite song, it really stands out for me, from when I was young

First weekend away with my now wife (22yrs) Beautiful South concert at the Crystal Palace

I need a little time to think it over I need a little space just on my own I need a little time to find my freedom I need a little Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn't it, isn't it? Your face has been looking like that for hours, hasn't it, hasn't it? Promises, promises turn to dust Wedding bells just turn to rust Trust into mistrust I need a little room to find myself I need a little space to work it out I need a little room all alone I need a little You need a little room for your big head, don't you, don't you? You need a little space for a thousand beds, won't you, won't you? Lips that promise, fear the worst Tongue so sharp, the bubble burst Just into unjust I've had a little time to find the truth Now I've had a little room to check what's wrong I've had a little time, and I still love you I've had a little You had a little time and you had a little fun, didn't ya, didn't you? While you had yours, do you think I had none, do you, do ya? The freedom that you wanted bad Is yours for good, I hope you're glad Sad into unsad I had a little time to think it over Had a little room to work it out I found a little courage to call it off I've had a little time I've had a little time I've had a little time I've had a little time

Her voice is captivating! I think I stopped breathing, the melody followed her voice beautifully.

What a great time when music videos told a story and a group that got two first class girl singers keep safe everybody

At 26 with my first wife. Our marriage dissolved, quite literally, as played out in the lyric. This song takes on a whole different meaning to some.

i dont believe in perfection, then i experience these lyrics, video and singers acting and remember: perfect

Such a fantastic song, the voices, the arrangements and linking melodies and of course the dramatisation. Such a shame it took over 20 years to come across it, but better late than never!

Back when songs told a story. Her facial expressions are brilliant

I am 52 now heard the song loads of time but never really listened to the words so true 👍

This vid was really something in 1990. Very memorable, everyone was talking about it. Also the song itself of course. A masterpiece on a gem of an album. That's the Beautiful South for ya.

How was she never a mega star , such a great voice

I dont know why some of these Beautiful South videos don't have at least tens of millions of views like other music vids

God I forgot how good they were. Brings back memories of driving round on family holidays listening to the cassette player.

Who’s all still listening to this in lockdown 2020 🎶🙌absolute classic ❤️

Her voice sounded so sexy when I was ten. Still does. Her voice was such a lure. Amazing song. Underrated these days as someone else said.

Saw Paul Heaton and Jacqui abbot in Dublin this summer still absolutely brilliant

Growing up, my mother would always play songs during car rides and this was one of them. It's amazing how this can bring back so many memories and all the lyrics come flooding back.

What a unique lovely voice. Brings tears to the eye. What a talent. The BS girls were all good. For me though Brianna was different class. And when she left the band unlike anyone else remotely attached she never returned to any of the reincarnations of the Beautiful South. A top girl. A great singer. Just magic.

Every song tells a story, this does it better than most. Just three verses, begining, middle, and an end that's not the usual cliche. Nuff said, brill. Henry

Just one of the best number one records ever! A diamond in the dust!

Me and my big sister Sarah listen to this back in the day yay 😂😂🎉

Simply extraordinary song, vocals and video. The lyrics are superb, so poetic in depth and subtly. Lines like ‘sad to unsad,’ understand that she is not happy, just unsad. There is a huge difference. “My ‘favourite line is the heavily caustic; ‘you need a little room for your big head..’ ( with said head surrounded by knives!) The video is certainly one of the best music videos ever made. The bathos and the dark humour. The acting by both is superb. Briana is terrifyingly psychotic as the scorned wife, he as the passive ‘guilty’ husband. The dynamic is all its toxicity is perfection. On a side note, one hopes that the partially decapitated teddy does not belong to an unfortunate child of this relationship. I must have watched this video/listen to this song a 1000 times. I never tire of it. Sheer perfection!

I didn't appreciate how good their music was back then, love the songs now, highly underrated , so unique , I'm 63 now .love listening to them now

Yep, been there. Happy now, and single. 😊

Thanks, the 90’s are a bit of a blurry memory for me

The lyrics of this song and all the songs of Beautiful South are simply amazing!

Brianna's voice is stunning in this song.Paul Heaton has written the most powerful indie songs in England. When I was a kid indie music was miserable and studenty then the Housemartins came along. Flag Day is still one of the most relevant political songs. Thank you Paul

I love this it's the song that Introduced me to the Beautiful South and I absolutely adore everything they do

Underrated classic 😍❤💕💕💖

This song tells a story - my story

When I met my now husband, whenever we went into a shop playing music, this was it. Despite that, we are still married 28 years later. They must have had such fun setting this up.

The womans voice!!!! Amazing! 💚

This will still be a great song ten years from now...

Never gets old. All-time classic.

This was playing when I was at college... Made the day's fly by... Top stuff

Her voice is absolutely beautiful

I remember buying cassette to this for my dad on fathers day,he loved it in his Orion 😂

What a song this is!

funny how some songs by bands you wouldn't give a second glance at normally, stick in your head and always make you smile this is one of them for me.

I've loved this band for years, the lyric of this song is fantastic!

Incredibly clever song

Teddybears head at the end, puts berrie on top!

one of the best songs i have ever heard in all my 43 years. i even loved it as a child even though back then i didnt get the meaning just loved the tune

Each of their songs is so different and distinct. Not many groups out there like them....

and how beautiful she is , love her voice as well xx

I'm 19 now. I grew up listening to Beautiful South. Absolutely love their music ❤

How come the modern songs with lyrics of doubtful quality get hundreds of Ks and Ms and more views, and such a masterpiece is so underrated?

The video makes this song extra special, utterly brilliant.

Good tune brought up with all this love it0❤

Her voice is amazing 😢

I've forgotten how good they are and this track is ACE.

My favourite group ever ❤

When a song is an undoubtable artwork.

One of the best videos of the early 90th.

Flawless beauty and perfection from 30 years ago - yet sounds the same as yesterday. So glad I’m an 80’s child growing up listening to this for the first time 💕💕💕this

One of the best song from beautiful South love her voice that God we have you tube as everyone would be goinging stir crazy with lock down

This is a. Tune 😂best day of my life wish i d listened lol 😆😆😆 great group ,

They don't make them like this anymore 👌

Was fortunate enough to have seen them live in 90s. Great sound live as well as recorded.

28 year old and still sounds great

Superb plz .. lifetime this rings so true ..

Wish i was in the back of the car with my sister and mum and dad singing at full volume miss them days😢
