My mom passed away in 2011. I specifically remember driving home from the hospice after seeing her for the last time before she got cremated. I had just bought this album, and hadn't gotten to this song yet. It's the last song on the CD. I get in the car, and this song starts playing a few minutes later. I had to pull over. I lost it. I thought of my mom as the escapist. She escaped this world, and her cancer. She was dancing off docks. I actually lost it because I had no idea I could actually see joy in her loss, but even though many people tell you "she's done suffering, she's happy", this song really drove it home for me. I wish I could personally thank him for this.
I agree in our native tongue because of the accessibility to all without losing credibility. Keeping it real. Staying true to the streets. What a name. What super simplicity
2009 - I was 15.. whole summer in a hospital.. alone, in fear... going blind.. not knowing what is going on... listening to The Streets saved me. This was my favourite song.
I'm 31, my dad died when i was 6. I never grieved him as i always thought that he could handle it. I've now surpassed his age and he is more like my son in my memory. My heart now breaks for him. I only love him now and don't see any other way he let me down. I'll always miss you dad.
I'm still going...like to think more meaningful partying...some productive not for profit partying. Excuses always needed on the famiky front. If you've lost your faith in love or music the end won't be long. All my original pirate's settled down kids, I'm not judging one school run I'd be done. Good time not a long time Keep on dancing
You can tell Mike Skinner is a thinking man. I guess most people reading this are thinking people too. Existence itself is just an amazingly beautiful mystery, really. A mystery that we should be open to as much as possible.
This song changed my life. The vibe on this whole album captivated me and set me on a different path. Left my tired old home for Australia at the end of 2008 for a much needed confrontation with myself. Came back inspired and ballsy enough to start a business. God I wish everyone the same experience.
Yes bro. Business is still good but it’s no walk in the park. every day you have to show up and push towards a result for which few have the perseverance. Intellectual skills at the end of the day are important, but having a mentality of no surrender, no self pity, no excuses, is worth much much more. I was a poor student and realised I could only learn on the job. It took 10 years of helpdesk jobs to slowly gain experience, domain and some business knowledge before suddenly a gate opened and someone finally saw the growth and gave me a chance to learn on the job how software is developed. It’s not only coders clearly. now i design backend services. Money is a motivation but not the biggest one. Doing a perfect job or close to it, seeing progress and results again and again with different clients is a greater reward for all the hard work. And of course driving home at night with some go getter music on, knowing you’ll get paid something relatively ridiculous certainly doesn’t feel too bad. If you want to learn something, even when you don’t know the specifics or if it’s not yet within reach, you can still start and try, and fail and fail until you don’t fail and realise you made yourself proud.
Played this at our 23 yesterday old grandsons. Mike sent a message to our daughter. Her and her sister finally got to meet him earlier this year. Such a lovely man. After hearing the album I became a 75year old rap convert.
All these walls were never really there Nor the ceiling or the chair I am eking weeks of peace on a beach I see the breezes weave the trees These walls you find - they're yours and mine Confined not by them I I am in times that lie behind my eyelids The sunsets steal the rising silence I'll not feel no fear 'Cause I'm not really here I'm nowhere near here There's no rain on roof that grates and beats me My favorite tree breaking lights to pieces Sprinkling, shaded light on me Throw a stone as high as you can And hearing with hand not hear it land Nothing taxing, dusting sand My window and world spins and twirls The walls then fall, I recall the sore White clouds white wash faded spotless The weighty shadows, ranges of rocks The cold is all illusion thought up The stroll on the shore, snooze and explore All possibilities in each new morning Until satisfied reaching out, yawning Fish in a big dish, some rice and spice Salt over shoulder never (?) The truth I've told was silence sometimes But who soul does not hide any crimes Wrapped in walls, encircled by work The walls fall - this story occurs No barrier, no boundary, all hours I please The freedom to stay all stray Be fiend or friend, cause no harm but charm - the peaceful end I'll not feel no fear 'Cause I'm not really here I'm nowhere near here Pale ancient woods, strewn white sandy bays This ugly room pales away today I am swimming, in the ocean I sink slow motion Fingers, toes floating Every year 'til yesterday Seeing the eternal setting sea I compare all this to me Little fleeting momentary me I blink my eyes, this is reminding me Life lies in the blink of an eye The old die for reasons, new tide, four seasons New life born is like changing All these walls were really never there Nor the ceiling or the chair I am eking weeks of peace on a beach I see the breezes weave the trees I am not here at all You dearly fooled I see busheling trees, the shush at the sea The mischievous Fluttering seagulls No! I'm not trapped in a box, I'm glancing at rocks I am dancing off docks Since this dance began That's where I am I'm not feel no fear Cause I'm not really here I'm nowhere near
I was 17 years old when my cousin's coffin was brought into the church to this song. I'd never heard much Streets before then, and found a new artist I really love, and still come back to this song every now and again to remember him. We were never close, but it just feels right
It's so nice to see nothing but good and positive comments on here about the song and about Mike, I really hope he looks at these sometime and sees that he really is amazing and should never stop making music to feed the soul, I'm so glad he's never sold out and gone pop money isn't worth selling your artistic soul. Mike you're a Legend ✌
I remember sitting alone in my flat crying my eyes out many times to this song but it always used to uplift me, this one is a personal favourite, thank you for everything Mike & The Streets
Never liked this track on release but ive come back to it and appreciate it now. I love when that happens. Maybe you weren't in the right headspace to get it back then or weren't listening. So its like a present you opened late.
S**T... I moved to france in 2008, and this song/video kinda sums up perfectly how it feels being an Englishman over here (ten years), and still feels like walking alone. I thinks its time to come home, reconnect and get me some Fish & Chips. Thank you Mike... You just made me pull my finger out. keep up the great work brother. 🏆🚀
Hey@James nice to read you mate. I am up here in Brittany at the moment, any time you want to let of steam feel free to email me directly if you don't want to tell the world.. I hope you are doing ok this wet weekend. Perhaps you are doing what I am doing and staring at a cupboard full of spices trying to ascertain whether the effort/payoff is worth making a full-on Chicken Shashlik with Mushroom Pilau... because I CERTAINLY can't find a takeaway here!!! (this is normally when my laughter turns to tears) 😂
The streets were my formative years, i remember listening to them in my first house wen 18,taking pills to them, seeing them at festivals for 3 or 4 years in a row. The start of blinded by the lights transports me to 16 years ago in the dark at 3am in my 2 up 2 down in belfast. It's eerie
I am new to The Streets...saw them at the Pilton Party last Friday... This song is amazing urban poetry... It gives food for the soul when life is entirely crap. Thank you Mike Skinner.
I feel kinda lucky to have discovered him in 2001. Mike's music has threaded through most of my adult life. Think I first heard "Has It Come To This" as I was putting together a playlist for my 21st, early November 2001. I was lucky to have friends who were really connected to the UK garage scene, and helped me expand my horizons. I am almost certain I met Mike in Australia in the late 90s, but then didn't know about his music. The belief in my mind is that it was him, or somehow another geezer with the same poetry, insight and deep interest in looking out for people. When I first heard The Streets I thought of that guy with the lyrical magic, who was always following the good underground music, that looked out for us unruly alternative teenagers who didn't know etiquette. Unassuming and genuine. I want to believe that if it wasn't the same guy, it was another Mike who walked the same Streets as both me and this legend.
I am eternally grateful. This music helped me to love my life at a very difficult time for me. I come back to this every time I lose myself or feel bad. It's so beautiful.
The beauty of this music is never lost on me no matter how much I hear it. I can't even count how many times I've listened to this desperately crying because I have been so low... It's brilliant and sometimes just sometimes it's made me feel a little better. "The truth I've told was silence sometimes But whose soul does not hide any crimes? Wrapped in walls, encircled by work The walls fall - this story occurs No barrier, no boundary, all hours I please The freedom to stay or stray Be fiend or friend, cause no harm but charm - the peaceful end"
Reading the comments and realising mikes music didn’t just get me through a tough patch in life but a whole clan , I wonder if he realises he possibly saved / brought us back to normality with his music
This song is more than music. It's a poetic thing about life moving on, time does too. It's almost Mike post the early albums after all his hardships and grand come for free, it's like a story character at the end of their journey. And in a strange way he tells is so beautifully because it reflects real life. At some point we all grow up and when we go on holiday you kinda get the opportunity to just think to yourself "damn. Here I am now." Like your stuck in a moment of nostalgia and past even though you're not there anymore. Really moving song.
So many years... The Streets live on Coca Cola Festival in Cracov Poland. One of the best concerts I've been on. Been blinded by the lights, blinked eyes, the concert was done. But I remember it better than any other.
i cant believe i have never heard this one, always finding more and more hidden gems from the streets, i thought i heard them all wow. gives me hope and happiness :)
In 2005 I was a sophomore in high school. My class mate Jill's brother was a senior and played in a band called Hubris that we loved. He showed my The Streets and Minus the Bear the same day and it changed my life. We would soon become bandmates and I would do anything to go back and do it all over again. Bless Mike. What an inspiration.
Mike you’ve brought so many of us back from the brink, helped us push forward through your art and for that we thank you. The break ups, suicide attempts, addiction and family loss in my life has been supported over two decades through your music. I can see many here will agree that you are truly one of the greatest artists of our generation and for those beyond. Much love from Bradford, UK
Absolutely incredible. I take it as having fear, nerves, apprehension, anxiety (whatever negative feeling) but allowing yourself to let go a bit and try to not let it hold you back by focusing on what brings you a bit of peace. Everyone can relate to this, some more than others but pretty universal in it's message. The bloke is a genius with his song writing.
Possibly the most Beautiful song ever written. Bittersweet, raw emotion, care and love. I must have listened to this song over 1000 times and it still gets me. Absolutely stunning. Thank you Mike and cel.
I'm going to therapy (again) tomorrow and this album is one of the few things that makes me feel positive about making it. I can still remember hearing these songs (originalpiratematerial) when I was 14, just to remind myself how shitty adult life is. I hope to continue the positive things that made me happy back then!
it's beautiful to see how many comments here are about this song being connected to deeply moving, personal experiences. same for me. God bless you all
I absolutely love this song. It was a big part of my aha moment when I realized that what we think is reality is not as set in stone as most people believe it to be and that there is more to life than our physical reality.
Yeah came back to see what I'd commented when I discovered it, but can't find anything. It helped me swim, even when close to drowning it gave me the strength to ride out storms
Sat here after booking a trip to the Dordogne in September, smoking a blunt and recalling my memories of past trips to my adoptive home. Big up The Streets + France
Wow, this guy has been a genius for years, keeping me company since I first discovered the streets way back, and I need to hear fucking Rhianna when I turn on a radio ... WTH is wrong with this world.
I remember when I first saw the promo for this album....... streets had already been a point of peace in my perspective.... then this album .... skinner knows how to hit the spots that matter
I brace myself when the words, "I'm dancing on docks," are coming up. I try, but usually fail, not to get choked up. Beautiful song, beautiful concept.
Most underrated artist of any generation. Sound of my very high childhood 😂 the streets and cypress i loved thw 90s/noughties now a world full of snowflakes and shit music is where we are.
When i was 12 i heard this on polish music stations and I still remember how many emotions i fell from this song. I just played like everyday in The Gateway: Black Monday and Gran Turismo 4 with my friend after school. Thanks for everything. Now I'm 25 and I can understand much more.
The most underrated song of all time
thomuk2006 finally thought it was just me.........
All day everyday
Cult classic,not best seller
nice profile picture mate

Aren't there so many of those out there?
Yes. Still

@Chester Perry bro, I’m sending you a big hug. Just know you gained the greatest guardian angel we can ask for.
@ it happens man. Nobody has a instructions manual on how to cope with a loss this big. Salute bro.
Beautiful words. So sorry for your loss
Idk why only a small group of the Internet listen to these songs they're gold

Most underrated artist of all time if you ask me.

They were all only uploaded a view months ago

Mike is the most underrated artist ever.
Pure lyrical genius. Never stop creating.

@@markkerry22mk lol... you're wrong bro😅
When my time comes, I want this played at my funeral. Easily one of the best songs of all time.
Makes me cry when I'm happy. Makes me cry when I'm sad. This song brings all the emotions from the bottom of the well.
David Elrod ❤️
Wow same. Hope you're good brother.
Truly freeing

Sitting here sobbing at 5AM listening to this as I once did 11 years ago
i sobbed really hard on this while on lsd
Stop smoking crack then
Feel your pain 😢
2023. Song on repeat for an hour. Love it.
This makes me miss my mates. It was the best time of our lives yet we all grew apart
Same..... Think that happens everyone at some stage in their lives.... This tune takes me back an all...... Bless up.... Chin up...
Happens to all of us! Just try be happy with the memoriesy you have 🙂
I'm still going...like to think more meaningful partying...some productive not for profit partying. Excuses always needed on the famiky front.

The people’s poet ...a pure genius way ahead of the time, gets u right to the core of your soul
Paul SH never a truer word...
Honestly I think this is the most beautiful song ever written.
It is so overwhelming. Pure poetry.
😉👍
All these walls were never really there
Nor the ceiling or the chair
I am eking weeks of peace on a beach
I see the breezes weave the trees
These walls you find - they're yours and mine
Confined not by them I
I am in times that lie behind my eyelids
The sunsets steal the rising silence
I'll not feel no fear
'Cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
There's no rain on roof that grates and beats me
My favorite tree breaking lights to pieces
Sprinkling, shaded light on me
Throw a stone as high as you can
And hearing with hand not hear it land
Nothing taxing, dusting sand
My window and world spins and twirls
The walls then fall, I recall the sore
White clouds white wash faded spotless
The weighty shadows, ranges of rocks
The cold is all illusion thought up
The stroll on the shore, snooze and explore
All possibilities in each new morning
Until satisfied reaching out, yawning
Fish in a big dish, some rice and spice
Salt over shoulder never (?)
The truth I've told was silence sometimes
But who soul does not hide any crimes
Wrapped in walls, encircled by work
The walls fall - this story occurs
No barrier, no boundary, all hours I please
The freedom to stay all stray
Be fiend or friend, cause no harm but charm - the peaceful end
I'll not feel no fear
'Cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near here
Pale ancient woods, strewn white sandy bays
This ugly room pales away today
I am swimming, in the ocean
I sink slow motion
Fingers, toes floating
Every year 'til yesterday
Seeing the eternal setting sea
I compare all this to me
Little fleeting momentary me
I blink my eyes, this is reminding me
Life lies in the blink of an eye
The old die for reasons, new tide, four seasons
New life born is like changing
All these walls were really never there
Nor the ceiling or the chair
I am eking weeks of peace on a beach
I see the breezes weave the trees
I am not here at all
You dearly fooled
I see busheling trees, the shush at the sea
The mischievous
Fluttering seagulls
No!
I'm not trapped in a box, I'm glancing at rocks
I am dancing off docks
Since this dance began
That's where I am
I'm not feel no fear
Cause I'm not really here
I'm nowhere near

Lost a best mate before Xmas to suicide, we used to listen to the streets as young adults.
Mike skinner seems to have wrote the manual of life..
The kind of music we need right now.
Without a shadow of doubt, this is the most important song in my life. The lyrics are unrivalled
I remember sitting alone in my flat crying my eyes out many times to this song but it always used to uplift me, this one is a personal favourite, thank you for everything Mike & The Streets
Never liked this track on release but ive come back to it and appreciate it now. I love when that happens. Maybe you weren't in the right headspace to get it back then or weren't listening. So its like a present you opened late.
Life can be beautiful man at times good luck to ya

Just by chance found it today again after many years.
I love it
This song saved my life
An absolute 10 out of 10. Always has been, always will be!
the definition of "going for a stomp"
He's not just a lyrical genius, the fact that he walks through Oradour-sur-Glane. Much respect.
I have a feeling Mr Skinner is the kind of artist who gets the credit he deserves after his death
so true
Exactly
The streets were my formative years, i remember listening to them in my first house wen 18,taking pills to them, seeing them at festivals for 3 or 4 years in a row. The start of blinded by the lights transports me to 16 years ago in the dark at 3am in my 2 up 2 down in belfast. It's eerie
Love this tune.... covid-19 easter 2020

Still resonates with a lot of us ❤
Keep on moving up...we're not going round in circles...we're on a helix heading skywards constantly. Conscience is created.

Possibly the most Beautiful song ever written. Bittersweet, raw emotion, care and love. I must have listened to this song over 1000 times and it still gets me.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you Mike and cel.
I do not find this to be simply music... This is more, this is poetry.
I'm going to therapy (again) tomorrow and this album is one of the few things that makes me feel positive about making it. I can still remember hearing these songs (originalpiratematerial) when I was 14, just to remind myself how shitty adult life is. I hope to continue the positive things that made me happy back then!
Hang in there brother, stay positive, you got this ... you're not alone

One of my favorite songs of all time.
Great song still after all these days

It sure is my friend.
Only my opinion......thisi is Streets best work. Every time I listen it makes me smile.
Great to hear the streets got me threw bad times but also had great times... Thanks for it all mike
it's beautiful to see how many comments here are about this song being connected to deeply moving, personal experiences. same for me. God bless you all
I absolutely love this song. It was a big part of my aha moment when I realized that what we think is reality is not as set in stone as most people believe it to be and that there is more to life than our physical reality.
Still my fav song of the Streets 2 decades later.
Thank you Mr Skinner. For the feels and memories.
This song and video got me through some tough times. Thanks, Mike!
Yeah came back to see what I'd commented when I discovered it, but can't find anything. It helped me swim, even when close to drowning it gave me the strength to ride out storms
@@Skittenmeow Very nicely put and I feel very similarly. I hope the storms have largely passed you by.
About the tenth video I’ve commented on in a row - but how beautiful is this.
Great to see him walking the right side on the streets in Europe. AGAINST the traffic as a pedestrian.
One of my alltime favs. Its a shame i Never had the Chance to See them live
Sat here after booking a trip to the Dordogne in September, smoking a blunt and recalling my memories of past trips to my adoptive home. Big up The Streets + France
Wow, this guy has been a genius for years, keeping me company since I first discovered the streets way back, and I need to hear fucking Rhianna when I turn on a radio ... WTH is wrong with this world.
Amazing emotive song of streets!! Long live to the streets
One of the best from the streets, amazing.
My happy place. Thank you for this gift. ♡
so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.
I revisit this tune every few years and it's developed into one of my fav. mood-lifting tracks.
How does this not have 20 mil views possibly one of the greatest songs every made!?!?!!!!!
the world is strange
I remember when I first saw the promo for this album....... streets had already been a point of peace in my perspective.... then this album .... skinner knows how to hit the spots that matter
Omg I just realised it says I'll not fear no fear cuz I'm not really here I'm no whare near here.this song means so much even years later
I brace myself when the words, "I'm dancing on docks," are coming up. I try, but usually fail, not to get choked up. Beautiful song, beautiful concept.
I remember one time when I was young, did caps, and listened to this walking a hot summer night. it was very nice.
Still a fan of mike skinner and the streets 19 years on still listening
I drive a truck all over america for a living and this song just nails what it feels like to live on the road. Great song
I may have taken too much. But this song gives me warmth. Bless all
Big ups yourself Clive, legend in your own right
Most underrated artist of any generation. Sound of my very high childhood 😂 the streets and cypress i loved thw 90s/noughties now a world full of snowflakes and shit music is where we are.
People listening to fucking dua lipa
The last sentence of the song sums it up.
Beautifully put mate, wow, I feel the same 👏🏻
When i was 12 i heard this on polish music stations and I still remember how many emotions i fell from this song. I just played like everyday in The Gateway: Black Monday and Gran Turismo 4 with my friend after school. Thanks for everything. Now I'm 25 and I can understand much more.
My favorite song of the Streets! Love from Shanghai
BRILLIANT
