@@noblesavage9628 Without the power of music, I'm not so sure about whether I would have survived these last three years since I lost my wife and partner. Looking in the mirror when you suddenly find yourself alone after decades of marriage was a difficult experience for most of that time. Music made my life better by helping to fill some part of the hole I had in my heart, and let me get lost inside of the sound for minutes at a time when those minutes were an agony to live through. We built our years together partially on our mutual love of music. She could sing, I don't have any talent, but we could both share the joy music can bring a person. My apologies for using this opportunity to talk about music and what it means to me, both in the past, and the void it's filled lately. Thank you, peace 💚
@johndaarteest well it's still better than 'everything' about the music of today, that is dated and sounds stale the day after you first hear it, and your first listen is always disappointing as well. Least we didn't need smartphones to have a blast to this back when...
It’s so good that Edwyn Collins finally got recognition for his musical talent. All of his discography that predates this track is brilliant as well… proud to be Scottish
@@ArchyPThat decade did give birth to quite a number of good tunes, I actually like proportionally more older than me music.

Confession. I'm pretty sure this song is when the X kicks in. Followed by 4 hours later, desperate for sleep, listening the The Cure Mixed Up. Finally dosing off right about "A Forest". 😅
This man is a pure genius. This song fuses blues, punk, funk, motown, rock n roll, pop. Also he is an amazing illustrator/artist who can draw lifelike animals especially tigers. Just watched his documentary on his recovery from 2 strokes. Ed you are incredible and an inspiration!
This is a great song and video to listen to and watch around Halloween. I'll never forget how fitting it was when I heard this on the radio in late October 1994 as I was driving around suburban Omaha delivering pizza on an overcast evening during rush hour with autumn in full swing and spooky decor on some houses. It's hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago--the perfection of that moment was so profound that I always get a warm, happy feeling in my gut when I think about it, especially now that we're knocking on Halloween in 2023.
Well, let me help those who will try it... (It's amazing to see two difficult greek origin words in a song like this!!! ). Metaphorically (in greek is "μεταφορικά") means you don't say it literally, you don't say what it is exactly. Allegorically is something similar ( in greek "αλληγορικά") and it means you say something happening but using another story, such as Esopus myths.
Just but one clue as to the intelligence and ability being performed here. If you ever caught the MTV vid from when this track was released, you will see Edwin displaying his fingers showing his dedication to getting the sound just right.
Grammar police here-hi, hello😁 It would have been correct if you said "metaphorically" and "allegorically", or even "metaphor" and "allegory"....But you sir, are mixing forms of the words unequally with eachother, and this drives me crazy when people do this!

Guitar tunes can be synchronized with two or more strings that delivers a music to human minds whereby it can leave a lasting soothing affect so enjoyable that can be as if you just met a long time trustworthy friend.
A Girl Like You I've never known a girl like you before Now just like in a song from days of yore Here you come a knockin', knockin' at my door And I've never met a girl like you before You give me just a taste so I want more and more Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw Now you've got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor And I've never met a girl like you before You've made me acknowledge the devil in me I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel And I've never known a girl like you before Never, never, never, never Never known a girl like you before This old town's changed so much Don't feel like I belong Too many protest singers Not enough protest songs And now you've come along Yes you've come along And I've never met a girl like you before
I wrote this song out so long ago it was before you could just look the words up on-line, and for the first line of the third section I had 'Wave me a college' instead of 'Made me acknowledge'😆. I knew it made no sense, but that's what I heard (and to be fair - no Marc Bolan songs never made any sense!)
@@Liam123-r8ototally agree! It's definitely got Tarantino unsettling Vibes in a sexy weird way LOL hard core go-go dancing as well! The lead guitarist is phenomenal
Absolutely love this classic. Love the heavy hit of the drums and that distorted dirty guitar sound make it an awesome song. Edwyns vocals are just brilliant. One of my all time faves
My (now) husband put this on the very first mixtape he made for me. It was the first song and it definitely sealed the deal ♥️ Decades later, here I am reminiscing 😊
This was a hit on alternative radio formats in the US as well as top 40. I Remember hearing it a lot in 1995. To me it's one of the best singles of the 90s
Have you ever forgotten a great old song like this one ☝️ and then by a pure coincidence hear it again. It’s like rediscovering a precious, and lost treasure. Such an incredible and timeless song!!! 🎸 🎶 🎙️ 2024
Never has been a girl like me 😉 I'm loving this song. Wonderful vocals are unique and I love the vibes, catchy tune and this video is killing it!!! ❤️🎶🔥🎶❤️
This was one of my favorite songs when i was really young, like 8-10 years old. I remember listening to it on the radio while my dad was driving. When i was 12 i lost my dad to cancer and after that i completely forgot about this song. One day, around a year ago, i randomly heard it on a sidemen video and i almost freaked out. I managed to find the name, since i never actually knew how it was called, and i burst into tears because i instantly remembered those times when my dad was driving and this song was playing on the radio. Back when my life was pretty much perfect and my dad was still here with me. Now i'm 21, it's been almost 9 god damn years since i lost him, but songs like this help bring back many good memories.
In 1995 I was about 16 or so when this song was played everywhere and when I met my future wife somewhere in Bulgaria. I still can say that I've never known a girl like her before.
Boy I remember this classic from the summer of 1995, listening to it on my post round, what a smash, clever lyrics, fantastic harmonies and breathtaking guitar playing from Edwyn. 27 years later, its still a classic..
The way this song does not physically describe the girl but just alludes to a raw feeling really makes it stand out. It just leaves the listener to the imagination of their dream girl/wife while emotion just takes over them, since everybody’s dream girl is different.
For years the memory of this song has been in my head. I remembered the guitar and silhouettes in the video but nothing else which meant I could never find it on UA-cam. Today I heard it in the supermarket and rediscovered it at last!
This is literally the only song that i know of that keeps getting better the older it gets. Put this on the radio in any decade from the 60s to 2023 and it is top 10 guaranteed ❤
This song was banging in my head when I met the most beautiful girl. We are married for 40 years. We play this song every year on the day we met. Our love still going stronger and stronger. Thanks Edwin for this song.
@@drumboogie2555 Likewise, on all counts - 1) heard it on the Crown credits tonight, 2) had forgotten all about it and 3) thought it might be Bowie - has that "China Girl" woof to it. Oh, yeah, and 4) GREAT SONG!

That's one of the best guitar riffs of all time. Period.
Guitar tunes can be synchronized with two or more strings that delivers a music to human minds whereby it can leave a lasting soothing affect so enjoyable that can be as if you just met a long time trustworthy friend.

A Girl Like You
I've never known a girl like you before
Now just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a knockin', knockin' at my door
And I've never met a girl like you before
You give me just a taste so I want more and more
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
Now you've got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor
And I've never met a girl like you before
You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically
Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically
Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before
This old town's changed so much
Don't feel like I belong
Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you've come along
Yes you've come along
And I've never met a girl like you before
❤ thank you ❤
Thank you
I wrote this song out so long ago it was before you could just look the words up on-line, and for the first line of the third section I had 'Wave me a college' instead of 'Made me acknowledge'😆. I knew it made no sense, but that's what I heard (and to be fair - no Marc Bolan songs never made any sense!)
Cheers Mate.....Great Song......👍🇬🇧🤓🏴😎
Honorable ❤
This song needed to be in a Tarantino's movie
Please no. Leave these songs alone😂
@@Liam123-r8ototally agree! It's definitely got Tarantino unsettling Vibes in a sexy weird way LOL hard core go-go dancing as well! The lead guitarist is phenomenal
Let’s all dream that dark dream. Barnabas Collins anyone?😂
Totally !!!
That and the video is perfect super perfect that was an awesome comment because it makes so much sense and you are f****** right
Soulful, rock, blues, all wrapped up in Edwin Collins unmistakable vocals.
Superb track that still delivers.
His voice! The guitar! The Lycrics!
I love to dance to this great song💃
It's. Brilliant. To. Not. Just. Write. Sing and. Put. The. Women. Dancing. And. The. Skeletons. Dancing. That. Would. Be. A. Very. Fun. Job.
Probably the best song ever - awesome distorted guitar, haunting vocals, ghostly drum beat and great timeless psychedellic 60s vibe.
I love the 60s vibe of this song
Spot on mate with your views of it immense piece
Drum sample from Len Barry's "1-2-3" - song
Not just 60's, pure Northern Soul backing to Edwyn's phase guitar
Good description
Absolutely love this classic. Love the heavy hit of the drums and that distorted dirty guitar sound make it an awesome song. Edwyns vocals are just brilliant. One of my all time faves
My (now) husband put this on the very first mixtape he made for me. It was the first song and it definitely sealed the deal ♥️ Decades later, here I am reminiscing 😊
Man i love guitar riff of this song. Edwyn Collins is a genius.
This was a hit on alternative radio formats in the US as well as top 40. I Remember hearing it a lot in 1995. To me it's one of the best singles of the 90s

Have you ever forgotten a great old song like this one ☝️ and then by a pure coincidence hear it again.
It’s like rediscovering a precious, and lost treasure. Such an incredible and timeless song!!! 🎸 🎶 🎙️ 2024
Yes! Hearing it in Decameron rekindled my love for it full force!
It's impossible to ignore this song whenever it plays, like it makes you just wanna groove to it.
I never tire of this. Every time I hear it, I feel so alive.
They don’t make music like this anymore. This song is awesome 🔥
They do
This was the best of the late 90s
Mid 90s.. my bad.
I found a female version of the song- by Dave Cameron- Girl like me today, still prefer the funky side by Collins
They've never made music like this. This is a rare one of a kind.
This song needs a big comeback, it's iconic. Best use for it was in the movie Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
thank you was trying to figure what movie it was from was it the song for Demi Moore?
Lucifer brought me here
@@francisjo3same!
needs to be in GTA VI for GTA always has bangers
@@ScarletClementinethe scene when demi moore walked in heels did justice to this song...
Never has been a girl like me 😉
I'm loving this song. Wonderful vocals are unique and I love the vibes, catchy tune and this video is killing it!!! ❤️🎶🔥🎶❤️
This song, performance is just just off the chain, it s always been beyond awesome!!! NEEDS a LOVE button 💘
This was one of my favorite songs when i was really young, like 8-10 years old. I remember listening to it on the radio while my dad was driving. When i was 12 i lost my dad to cancer and after that i completely forgot about this song. One day, around a year ago, i randomly heard it on a sidemen video and i almost freaked out. I managed to find the name, since i never actually knew how it was called, and i burst into tears because i instantly remembered those times when my dad was driving and this song was playing on the radio. Back when my life was pretty much perfect and my dad was still here with me. Now i'm 21, it's been almost 9 god damn years since i lost him, but songs like this help bring back many good memories.
Im 21 too. Also, life be like that sometimes.
I'm 21 too. I heard this from a Charlie's Angles movie.
Thanks for sharing that memory!
Respect
Να σαι καλά μάγκα μου με συγκινησες. Καλή επιτυχία σε ότι κανείς στη ζωή σου
Absolute perfection...a brilliant, crazy cool vibe that works in any decade!
could come out today and it would still sound as fresh as the day it was released. i love this
this song has and will continue to stand the test of time. True classic.
the as.hat that dissected eds v
music seems to not understand musical influence poor boy (see 1st reply)
I've never heard so much truth before...
@@markymark0075 1n9
Absolutely
This video, on the other hand, clearly has not
You don't know how much searching and singing through Google took me to find this. Im gonna cry
Dont cry my friend… glad you found it
@@C00l5c0rpi0n aww, thanks
@@fairyofdarkness2950 you're welcome ma'am. And thanks for replying. You made my evening
Edwyn you deserve more hits
In 1995 I was about 16 or so when this song was played everywhere and when I met my future wife somewhere in Bulgaria. I still can say that I've never known a girl like her before.
My uncle was from Bulgaria.!
I’d forgotten this song and heard it on Season 5 of the Crown. I’d forgotten how much I love it. ❤
same!
me too
Same lol
Right there with you 😊
That's why I'm here, but reminds me of being a teen
This song channels the best of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
bro this song is 90's xD
@@LP00151987That’s true, but it (meaning the song) sounds nothing like a song from the 1990s!
Love the vibe. This is the music we need back!
Just heard this for the first time in my life . This feels genius.
Boy I remember this classic from the summer of 1995, listening to it on my post round, what a smash, clever lyrics, fantastic harmonies and breathtaking guitar playing from Edwyn.
27 years later, its still a classic..
His vocals on this remind me a bit of David Bowie.
The way this song does not physically describe the girl but just alludes to a raw feeling really makes it stand out. It just leaves the listener to the imagination of their dream girl/wife while emotion just takes over them, since everybody’s dream girl is different.
I have always loved and will always love this song. It doesn’t get old and I can play it over and over again, it’s just brilliant.
Such a brilliant song.
This is my husband's song when we met.. now 35 years strong and it's still his favorite song
For years the memory of this song has been in my head. I remembered the guitar and silhouettes in the video but nothing else which meant I could never find it on UA-cam.
Today I heard it in the supermarket and rediscovered it at last!
If she doesn't make your soul feel like this then she ain't the one ❤️
That is an excellent point.
Absolutely love your comment!!! 😍😍😍
AMEN!!!!
This is literally the only song that i know of that keeps getting better the older it gets. Put this on the radio in any decade from the 60s to 2023 and it is top 10 guaranteed ❤
.
There r a few others that hit similar buttons. Check out Sniff 'n' the Tears' "Driver's Seat."

One of the best songs of the 90s. Can't change my mind.
Nice 90 's Song.
This song is still out. First heard in the 90s and it's still brilliant. Loved it then I love it now. Never ages
I’m 37. Remember hearing this as a kid. Timeless classic that fits into ANY era of music. I See the James Bond comments and I couldn’t agree more.
WHO remembers back in the day of MTV, when if you wanted to hear a song and see the video, you had to sit there ALL day watching MTV just to see it
i still have this video on VHS from MTV's european top 20!
Exactly. And you won't get tired of waiting since all the videos and songs back then were all masterpieces and hits.
Or if u didn't hav cable and had to front like you'd seen it?!
Or tape it off the radio.
So much Bowie.
I've lived my best life to this song. It came out when I was 15 and set the standard for everything good in my life.
🌹
Sounds like you've lived a good life!
Well, you're hot. So it worked very good.
I don't even know you ...but I'm proud
Its really a masterpiece
This song was banging in my head when I met the most beautiful girl. We are married for 40 years. We play this song every year on the day we met. Our love still going stronger and stronger. Thanks Edwin for this song.
Since i have heard this on The Crown, i have fallen in love with this song.
Just heard this on a re-run of Lucifer. Love it as much today as the first day I heard heard it.
I also heard from the Crown and had completely forgotten about this song. I always thought it was David Bowie. Great song!
@@drumboogie2555 Likewise, on all counts - 1) heard it on the Crown credits tonight, 2) had forgotten all about it and 3) thought it might be Bowie - has that "China Girl" woof to it. Oh, yeah, and 4) GREAT SONG!
Hell if you liked it on the crown you’ll love it on the movie Empire Records
Timeless treasure in june 2024 still resonates for this old man of 70
true !
IM 72 FIRST TIME HEARING WOW
72
@@craigmoul4 Ahahah, that's nice sir, great taste !
You might like the show Lucifer. Episode 6 the song is in the beginning I think.

Wow...a trip down memory lane. Listening to this song again takes me back to my youth.
Man, this was such a big hit all around the world back in 90s
fo real!
Yeah! I remember 😃
