hey this might sound a bit random but, i’m currently 19 and wonder what words you would have to say to your previous 19 year old self . as most adults trying to find themselves, i am lost and have no role models in my life as they have been taken early from me. so any advice about literally anything would be appreciated

Agreed. This entire album is great! But this song is amazing. I’ve been listening to this song on a regular basis for nearly 20 years. It’s Still great, and it now it just makes me feel young. I hate that he hasn’t made more music.
Man I loved this dude. Just read up on where he at now. Much respect to you Finlay. I worked in Hollywood for years. I’ve seen it with many people who get spit out and robbed by labels. Respect bruv. Love to hear you in Ireland.
“I’m a hero Like a Robert DeNiro” The hardest part in writing a song I’ve heard from songwriters is the beginning line. Safe to say, this sticks. Feels like I’ve heard this song for the first time, but it’s been years.
This song drifts me off into a time of bliss and nothing to worry about being a child hearing the tunes of this song bloom from the lounge out into the street we lived, wish times never changed but time will always pass if we want or not, yet we can't forget vibration/music is timeless like memories. My peace.
One of the greatest 1990’s gems ever, what a masterpiece of a song. Adore the look and desert scenery. Great poetic lyrics and voice that tells a story with every phrase. 😍😘🥰🤩🌟👑💎⚜️♥️❤🌈🎵🎶📺🎤🎙️ ☀️
I don't think you know what underrated actually means. The year this came out it hit number 3 best selling album of the year, he went 2x platinum, was nominated and won a MOBO award and then won a BRIT award for best solo male act. If it was underrated then this wouldn't be a lead single it would be some EP or demo B-side.
Great cover of the Bob Marley song. So many amazing songs of that era,brit pop,radiohead etc,made you s o happy to be alive. I'd love a slice of that pie right now,life is such a head fuck these days,it would taste so sweet. I'm hungry 😆😆
I regret that I dont remember who presented this to me, but I know I loved her dearly. It’s been nearly 8 years, but the faint memory still invokes the feeling. Hope I’ll remember better one day, want to give her my thanks for still imposing a little light into my life even though we’ve gone our separate ways.
Blessing to you my friend. To introduce someone or be introduced to a new song or artist is absolutely priceless. It's a gift that money can't buy but costs nothing and is worth a fortune. The very fact that its stuck with you and still invokes emotion is a true testament to that theory.
I still can't get my head around this.... now I just hear a Scottish bloke trying to put on a reggae accent.... badly. 😂 you ruined him for me haha! Still a cool song but he slips below eddie grant now in my elite list. Eddie Grant being number 3
In my hotel room of Menton (French côte d'azur) a saturday night in march hearing the music of "meurtre au Paradis " remembering all of suden that song from the 90 s
What great fucking tune, timeless, the whole CD is awesome. I remember buying it when it came out and listening to it nonstop! I love this song! The best is watching this video for the first time, 27 years later....
I heard this song only once in my life before/ I didnt remember the name of the artist or the song.....I heard this weekend at my usual barber shop. after 16 years.fucking awesome.

One of those forgotten 90's gems! This brings back some good memories
;)
You don't know music if you havnt listened to Finley Quaye, absolute underrated genius, this song especially is timeless even in 2022
What does rating?
Just because something is popular does not make it good or worthy
Underrated by who? The masses!?
Great song 🎵 but rated by many
Man I loved this dude. Just read up on where he at now. Much respect to you Finlay. I worked in Hollywood for years. I’ve seen it with many people who get spit out and robbed by labels. Respect bruv. Love to hear you in Ireland.
I have been searching for this song for longer then 20 years since I forgot the name 😭😭😭 - what a gem! It still sounds so unique!
Me too 😂😂😂
Glad it's not just me
Just discovered this killer song on the Netflix '99 Woodstock doco 👌
Back in the day when the charts was full of great music... 👍🎶
A lot of the work here done by Bob Marley who’s accredited as a writer on this after heavy use of ‘sun is shining’ in the track.
“I’m a hero
Like a Robert DeNiro”

Still listening after all those years. Genius musician
Glastonbury 1997 and still gives us the goosebumps … good work fella 👍🏽
We had the cutest musicians in the 90's.
Thanks.

Teenage me would listen to this then bounce out the door on my skateboard feeling invincible, like a lion, yeah 😹 good times 🌞
Literally one of the best songs ever
My mum showed me this song a few weeks ago and now it’s literally my fave song! What a bop!!
Your mom is a good person =)
Indeed a bop
Never say bop again. But yeah, it's a tune. This was a definite Sunday afternoon album to blast out when it was released.
It's been used on tons of Promos/Movies/adverts in the UK I'm surprised you had never heard it.
Love to your mom 🤗🥳❤️💖🙋🏼♀️
i used sing and dance to this song holding my baby son great memories.....hes nearly 23 now and we still dance to it....thank you finlay

Legend. Was so great to see him aat Glastonbury i think muddy 1997
My mum had me listen to this song wh!en I was a baby- still love it in the last month of 2019!
Same man! Listened to it when I was a kid and I'm 27 now still listening to this and enjoying it.
But today Tuesday's shining

OMG!!!!! one of my loved songs ever
my son born in 1997 this song is what i was listening to still sweet as
sweet memories, love this song ❤
One of the best songs to sing along to ever.
The bar is so high to make a tribute to Bob Marley. Finlay clears it with ease with one of the best songs to ever hit the charts.
Unique voice...still timeless! 💕2019...

Finally found the song. Been hearing this at work and loved it
Just one of the most note perfect songs ever, loveeee it

Really does. My favourite year of 90s!
It was, on January 1, 1998.
golden era
And still does, banging tune, banging times.
Where are you Finley?I need your music😘❤🎶

Man - this guy is a genius and needs to come to the UK!
He's Scottish! And has a new album out, not heard it yet but Maverick A Strike was a belter
@pdrg the fact I now know he is Scottish makes his sound even more unique!
