In my opinion this is one of the greatest songs in British rock history. It’s hypnotic and magical and has aged incredibly well.

Every time I hear this I’m transported back to being 21 again, going clubbing with my 19 year old girlfriend!!! We’ve been married 30 years this year 😂

i am physically disabled by a car accident 18 years ago since then, music is my support, thanks :-))

Been up all night . Mum died 3 years ago today. Listening to the tunes from my youth. Love n miss you mum 💖

Yank here. Married an Mc'r lass in 90, and had my bachelor party at the Hacienda. The city was the center of the music universe at that time, and the Hacienda was its epicenter. Had twenty plus American friends with us, and to a person they each describe their week at the M'cr clubs as one of their life's great moments. Music has never sounded better...

So glad to have been a teenager in the 80s and then to be a young adult in the 90s hearing the best of music year after year. Bloody love this song!

Altough im 53 it still puts me in a better place❤

I was 18 when this came out. The whole Manchester music scene and dance music culture (that kind of went along with it) were so revolutionary at the time. Most young people were still driving around in their Ford Capri's, fighting getting drunk and blasting soft rock. People on my estate mainly had mullets and tight jeans. Looking like these guys was brave, even in Manchester. I remember going into a pub in baggy jeans, a flowery shirt and a shoulder length bell cut (like the keyboard player out of Inspiral Carpets) - I thought I was going to be killed.

Damn it was good to be a kid back then. SO much good music from Madchester (Charlatans, Mondays, Roses, Inspirals, Dragons, Turtles, etc), the Scousers (La's, Farm, etc), The shoe gazers (Ride, Swervedriver, Curve, Chapterhouse, etc). Then you had Bristol smashing it (Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, etc). It was the heyday of Hip-Hop too & even dance music used to be good back then!! Who can forget Castlemorton? The 90's really were the modern 60's! Some of the best times of my life with so many anthems to transport me back in time, & I've not even mentioned Primal Scream!!!!

I’m from Sydney Australia grew up here 52 years , I must say I’ve heard millions of bands and songs on KZfaq but I keep coming back to this incredible band and song in particular, this is truly an amazing song of high proportions , I remember when it first came out and to this day still thinks it’s an incredible arrangement of vocals and musicianship of such a simple chord arrangement and style uniquely Charlatans blue print , well done 2023 greetings from Sydney Australia

The singer's bowl cut and that outstanding organ riff by a Jon Lord disciple are to die for.

As a French I have to admit that the brits have the best musicians, so much creativity and unmatched, peerless, unparalleled... I don't have enough adjectives to describe how I love your music in general, this song is amazing. Thank you.

The Manchester sound of the 90s will never die

This song reminds me of the summer of 1990. Still the best summer I’ve ever experienced I think. Hot weather from May until September, great music, great times.

This song still sounds good after all these yrs in 2020 Amazing

Forgot about this song for many years. I’ve always loved this song with its 60’s psychedelic vibe in the 90’s era. Great to hear it again. Love it!

ahh the 90's...great indie music and dance music. what a time to be growing up

2021 and this song still sounds as fresh as the day it came out. Great song. RIP Jon Brookes

One of the best indie tunes ever!

This has got to be one of the greatest tunes ever made

Still sounds as fresh now, as when it first came out of my speakers in Summer 1990. A true timeless classic.

This was a glorious time for British music.... We were in total control mode... Was a brilliant time to be in my late teens.... Wish I could go back.

These groups prove that the eighties and nineties will rock forever!!!! Love it all 👍🏻

The only one I know, has come to take me away The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me The only one I see, has found an aching in me The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away The only one I see, is mine when she walks down the street The only one I see, has carved her way into me Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain

Wow! The "Madchester" years of my 20s. Brings back some great memories. At least we have memories of great music because we have nothing today...

the 90s were the last creative decade, I'm so glad I was there.

This band is ridiculously underrated!

2023 still awesome 😎

Listening to 90s indie while self isolating.. 🙌🙌...

What can I say, probably my favorite song of all time. I remember when I first heard this song early August 1990 and I thought at first it was a cover of Deep Purple's "Hush" because their intros sound very similar to each other and I rushed to the record store the very next day and bought the CD single import w/the 3 bonus songs. The sound totally transcended my mind and have been hooked on it still, It is the key to my universe.

30 years ago... Sounds as fresh today as it did in the spring of 1990.

After all this time and its never dated this song..its just superb!

Dear 90's, we love you, please come back.

Takes me back to mix tapes and Doc's. If you weren't a teenager then you will never know how cool that was.

Coming from TX. God so many amazing bands in the 90’s from the UK. My people from across the pond, and the world. Thank you and bless you for decades of great music, starting with of course the Beatles, the Who and Stones way back in the 60’s

This song reminds me of the 90s when the music was music

All you guys longing for the 90's, I feel your pain. But when I hear this, it sounds very much like the 60's music I grew up on and love so much. Someone pointed out the similarities to Deep Purple - Hush. That's exactly right. That keyboard sound, that's pure 60's. More of a basic, stripped down sound. Then the 70's happened, and everything got blow dry polished (Eagles, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, etc) But, thankfully the 90's rediscovered the 60's. and rescued us from that corporate garbage.

Who wishes they could go back to this era instead of now as I wish I could

Superb band who suffered massive adversity and still managed to tame an entire generation, sleep well gentlemen and thank you love you blokes.

The Manchester sound of the 90s 🆒🆒🆒

I asked for this to be played so many times at the pub music nights that, eventually the DJ used to play it as soon as I walked through the door. Happy days. 👍🏼😎

Bass and drum groove is so tasty it hurts.

The 80's started the Greatest Music Ever, the 90's Ended with the Greatest Music Ever!

When U2's guitarist says that this track in particular and the music scene from here in general makes you up your game is high praise indeed

One of those rare songs that you love the very first time you hear it.

I was 20 in 1990 , my soul song ..... sublime sound !

Definitely my defining tune of this unforgettable music era . Cannot say enough how much this means to me 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎

This song sounds like the soundtrack to a 90s instructional video about the internet

Watching "This is England 90" has bought me here

man, this takes me back, stoned off my face most days, good music, good times. happy days.

This is such a freakin' gem. Incredible.

The perfect synthesis of 60s, 70s and 80s British music.

I used to put this song on repeat and listen to over and over and over really loud! I made all my friends listen to it also, only some of them were able to appreciate it.

It makes me wanna cry to hear amazing 90s music like this. The Charaltans along with Saint Etienne, Stone Roses and Inspiral Carpets just really make me feel happy. I'm just some kid stuck in a generation full of awful music, style, and people. I wish I could've lived in the UK during these amazing times. This music is my happy place when I'm surrounded by absolute trash.

God, I miss 90's England. Listening to tunes like this as a teenager. Summers that never ended, playing out until 11:30 at night and the sun still not fully set, water fights, flirting with girls. Felt like a different world, care free and able to say whatever the hell you wanted to say.

Saw them live once. Greatest live song ever...

One of the best songs of the 90, people should play it more!!!!!(and loud)

Loved my Teenage years growing up in the 1990s such a great time for me 46 now feel like 17 again 😀😁😂😃😄

90s + this music = magic time!

This is a class tune, one that I'm always happy about seeing on my playlist.........

i hav'nt heard this song for years and all i ca remember is happier times where did all the decent music go on youtube thank god!

Smokey pubs with good drink and great music,back in the day!!!

Ésta canción cumple 30 años en éste 2020... es increíble como vuela el tiempo. Si tuviera que elegir una canción para describir un año, elegiría ésta canción para 1990. Refleja a la perfección el espíritu de aquella época.

This tune just sums up that time instantly, great times!!!!!!!

My favourite bass line of all time, best played loud!

One of the original dance indie tracks. It doesn't get much better than this. Toptastic!!

Anthem of Britpop's. Playing a solo on a bass guitar, the introduction of a drummer and followed by a guitar .... it's brilliant.

For a college student, I was in the absolute PERFECT time of my life. Music like this was exploding everywhere. Dance music, Trance, House, Indie, Movie soundtracks to awesome movies... the 90's were the best time in recorded history to be alive - well, as far as music goes :)

I quote the title of this song a lot... Especially when doing a crossword puzzle.

Hacienda, late 80s.Salford lad no less! RIP Rob Collins.

Criminally underrated!

For me, without doubt, THE defining tune that kicked off my love affair with indie music. Pure pure brilliance

One of those rare songs that you love the very first time you hear it. they don't make music like this any more

So much musical talent in this song!

Wow…. It’s 1989 again; I’m back on campus of Venice High School; short surf trips to the beach; skating on the board walk and listening to KROQ radio in my car; driving along with my friends… I miss my friends.

God bless England & All that play in her ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👌

I feel blessed to have this music as a backdrop to my teens life... what a blessing. teenage life... a right of passage and this song/album defines it. BEAUTIFUL. How many times this song played in a University Student dorm? Geezus.. EPIC

A song that's aged very well. Sort of a 90's Magic carpet ride...

I remember the bouncing dancefloor in Manchester Ritz on alternative Monday night vibrating like a bastard when that deafening bass guitar solo break comes in. Just when you think it ain't gonna get any better the drums kick in and then that guitar solo take the atmosphere through the roof!!!

The charlatans are so underrated it's criminal.

This tune of The Charlatans in particular, sounds like the lovechild of The Stone Roses and Ride.

Utterly brilliant. End of.

Bloody fantastic take me back to the best decade for music ever

I love this song. I drift back to 17 and all the fun and excitement of that age. Out with my friends at the alternative nights at our local club.

Just stole some of my mums Valium pulled a sickie from work and reliving my youth through old songs and feeling good is it just me or did life seem better back then

This is TIMELESS and PRICELESS!!!! MY fave band EVER?!!!

one of the all time indie greats. you hear the opening and know you've got eight seconds to get to the dancefloor.

One of the early nineties anthems!

This is The Charlatans I love. I never got into their later music; it never sounded like this kicky, cool tune. It's a wanna feel good song that I listen to over and over every morning getting ready for work.

Wow!!! This song sounds unbelievable on my headphones.

Still gets me in 2023 ❤️

Loving listening to old 90s classics Christmas 2020 🎄 x

memories of sciving school, listening to charlatans whilst playing gran turismo...20 years later nothing much changed lol..well graphics are much better 😂

I first heard this song being played in the Apple Store and after all these years I finally found it. Thanks Britpop Bangers playlist.

Mon père m'a fait découvrir ce titre (j'ai 26 ans). Gros tube de ses années de jeunesse. J'ai adoré tout de suite (on la reprend systématiquement dans mon petit groupe à moi) ! J'aime tout dans cette chanson : la rythmique, les ruptures, la ligne de basse (un peu fausse à la fin à mes oreilles), le synthé qui sonne Hammond, la 🎸, la tierce à la voix, la reverb, etc. Magnifique ! Et quel plaisir à la jouer et chanter ! Tx to The Charlatans for this masterpiece 👍👌!!!

Gosh, I still own the original vinyl - the 90's - *Those were THE days* 😏

Saudades desta época gloriosa em que os sons eram perfeitos .

so sad to hear about Inspiral Carpets Gilly RIP

Pure Good memories.

What an absolute belter of a tune
