sitting in a jail cell two day before my release with my cell mate all i will say was his first name was John ,and me and him were hyper he had 3 years to go on his sentence,and i burst out singing this john to my surprise joined in full on knew the words as i did ,someone told me john had died a few years back ,thanks john we were there x god rest his soul x
@@adelefotheringham2856 yeah stayed out jail ,my late mate and me found the humour in the lyric I'm sick of staring at these walls I'm gonna knock/ kick em down,thanks for mentioning the late John and it's a beautiful song
God I miss the 90's so much. I used to scoff at my parents when they would talk about the 70's but as you get older you do realise how amazing certain periods of your life were and remember just how good they were. The music, clothes, attitude and metting like minded people are days I miss so much. The Seahorses and this song are definitely background music to my life story.
Why cant someone open a club that just plays 90's indie music, it would be fucking epic getting pissed up in a bar with the sound track to the 90's flowing out from every speaker in the joint.
One day when I was 15, I heard a song on the radio. I don't understand English well. At the time, I heard the main line of the song, "You can control me," and I never listened to the song again. After that, I kept trying to find the song, but I never found it until one day, when I was over 40 years old. That day, as I lay in my room, the peace and cool breeze, I became a 15 year old listening to this song again. But what is different is I can listen to English better. What I heard was "You can talk to me" That’s why I’m Here
This was one of my favourite songs - I used to drive along in the car swaying and singing at the top of my voice ... and i was told by my friends that i was going to get stopped by the police..... AND I WAS! Still love the song tho
@@gregkiteos1936 Greg the second album is all over UA-cam and you can even buy bootlegs with the proposed artwork. I even saw them live after it was finished at a secret gig in Liverpool with the new songs before they finally imploded.
Definitely had the potential to do some epic things, I adored there debut album, Helme and Squire extremely talented guys, I’m sure they would creatively clash , at least we got Do It Yourself which is Epic .........
@@duncanlemm7144 yeah not a patch on the 1st in my opinion though unfortunately. And it wasn't an official release was it, just a mix of stuff they had been working on?.
I was lucky enough to see them play twice... Once on the album tour at Manchester Apollo supported by third eye blind. The second time was at a secret gig under King George's Hall in Blackburn just before they split up. They played all the new songs from the second album that never got released. I was front row stood between chris and john. Simply amazing I was gutted when they split!
blueprint waiting for the world where i first heard this song way back in my skating days ooo happy days they was this song takes me back there brings back memories brilliant song aswell thanx for posting it
Chris Helm ( vocals ) is playing a solo gig down my local music bar on 10/04/14. I saw him there last year and let me say, when he performed this track, my hair stood on end! Pure genius!
becomes madness who to pick, you all mean so much, haven't listened for a while but your words still sound so true. Bring it back. The 80's 90's fantastic times. What and where are we now. I just wanna be alright, could be next! x
Bought their album on release and still love it. Gutted that this song isn't on it. How I've never heard it before is beyond me as i absolutely love this song.
Lyrics Don't you think that maybe I should slow down? I've got so many things to say I had to write 'em down I was feeling alone So I'm on the phone to you Now that you're here I hope that you're hearing all the words I say to you I've talked myself round, you can talk to me too You can talk to me Anytime that you feel the pain I'll take the strain (You can talk to) You can talk to me Anytime I can help you out Give me a shout You can talk to me Oh yeah Don't you think that maybe I should calm down? I'm sick of staring at these walls, I'm gonna kick 'em down I was feeling alone, getting cold And I feel like a natural born killer Boring holes and cheap polyfiller And I borrowed 50 dollars to ring you To tell you, everything is alright You can talk to me Anytime that you feel the pain I'll take the strain (You can talk to) You can talk to me Anytime I can help you out Give me a shout You can talk to me Oh yeah-yeah-yeah You know, you know, you know You can talk to me Oh yeah-yeah-yeah Well come on, come on, come on, come on You can talk to me Anytime I can help you out Give me a shout You can talk to me Anytime that you feel the pain I'll take the strain You can talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeee
It really was was at work heard love is the law on radio when released I asked my father to get me the single came back with album I couldn’t stop playing DIY on repeat for years I said instantly these could be bigger than the actual Beatles if they keep writing like this but Squire fkd it up wanting to write all the songs in second album and it had no love isvlaw, love me leave me, hello, round the universe, Suicide drive, blinded by the sun I was in tears when they split they were my Beatles
2 bands in my life that I have instantly loved ..sadly both bands didn't last long ..Japan and the seahorses.. happy memories though ,that will definitely last
20/12/2023 how so much this tune relates to TODAY how the 90s was awesome and so in denial of the mental health that affects everyone today timeless tune thank you seahorses ❤
The demos for the second Seahorses album can be found on youtube. Search for 'Minus Blue'. Personally I'd recommend Chris Helme's solo album 'The Rookery', it's amazing. His voice is do much better than back in The Seahorses.

Shame, hope youv stayed out the jail? Shit for your mate 😢but sea horses always rock and good tune to listen to xx

A glorious time for British music, I'd do anything to go back to the 90's.
God I miss the 90's so much.

Miss the fucking 90's so much!!!
You know!
Shit nar init
Don’t worry. It’ll come around in ten years
This song should be a mental health anthem. I often head here when it's all a bit shonky. Thanks, The Seahorses
Why cant someone open a club that just plays 90's indie music, it would be fucking epic getting pissed up in a bar with the sound track to the 90's flowing out from every speaker in the joint.
There's one in Leicester mate called the Fan Club, 3 rooms 70s, 80s and 90s one in each
5th ave manchester.well was back 10yrs
One in Kirkcaldy...named after a Beatles lyric and Chris is playing there tonight.
ForeverIndie IndieForever come to manchester... every other bar
Hell yea! Ever happens then first drink is on me lol
Teens in the 90's were lucky for having them. Great song
Carlo Buso I was 7 when this came out. Uncle got me the album, taught me sense on proper music. 22 years later I’m still amazed, quality band. 👌
Yeah We Were Man!!!
Yes we were!
Look at now feel sorry for this generation including my 20YO son we were blessed to have this. What a time to be alive! Live Forever
Smoking a bong in the 90s as a teen listening to this, bring back so many childhood memories. He Hates Roses
Heard this live last night. Chris Helme supporting Dodgy. Such a magnificent song and a great performance. Cool guy.
As a 70,s baby……thanks for the memories and most importantly these guys are amazing he most underrated band ever,,,,,,love is the law !£!!

I was so looking forward to a new album when I heard this back in the day and then that was it. The end . Such a good band too .
The second album is on UA-cam
@@lustycourtier2425 I didn't know this, although I guess I should've because everything is on youtube lol. Thanks for that Il give it a listen .
@@lustycourtier2425 where on UA-cam and what is it called?
@@lustycourtier2425 They only made one album. This song would have been on the second album but they split up in January 1999.
@@gregkiteos1936 Greg the second album is all over UA-cam and you can even buy bootlegs with the proposed artwork. I even saw them live after it was finished at a secret gig in Liverpool with the new songs before they finally imploded.
Heard this for the first time, played at a friend's wedding funeral. RIP Rab.
What a combination!!!! , Chris Helme & John squire . Real music
They had one of the best debut albums of all time in my opinion, absolutely love it. Shame it was their last.
Definitely had the potential to do some epic things, I adored there debut album, Helme and Squire extremely talented guys, I’m sure they would creatively clash , at least we got Do It Yourself which is Epic .........
You can hear their unfinished second album here on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/video/V9-R0KupoEQ/v-deo.html
Maybe it was meant to be. The candles that burn brightest don't burn the longest
Their second album is out there if you look hard enough.....
@@duncanlemm7144 yeah not a patch on the 1st in my opinion though unfortunately. And it wasn't an official release was it, just a mix of stuff they had been working on?.
how can you not like this song
+micky storm Its impossible!!!! fucking great
Easy.
Fooking great!!
Quality song, such a shame they split up before releasing their 2nd album. I would have loved to have heard the rest of the songs.
Seamless perfection Chris has a voice that should have gone so much further 😚
my favourite song of all time, absolutely brilliant
Loved this song since Chris Helm came and played at my house for my step dads birthday😍😍😍😍😍
Very nice, that must have been brilliant!
im not sure, my mum payed for part of my step dads birthday. it was amazing, he's so talented!
Brilliant
You are SOOOO lucky!!!! God!!! 😫
Jammy bastard
1 minute of silence for the people that still haven't found this song
one of the sound tracks to my life.when we were kings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a quintessentially 90s song. I'm only just hearing it for the first time. It's a shame they didn't make a second album.
Best song by the seahorse apart from the love is the law guitar solo
So underrated man .. First album is timeless 👏🏼
1997 what a year
John Rattray N1 Forever on Blueprint "Waiting For The World" !!!
YES MATE!
Exactly! Where I hear the tune too. He was an awesome skateboarder!
Yesss and when they edit the video to 'im on the phone to you' and he finishes his line into the phone box
The best video part. Skated with John in Glasgow in 97’ top bloke!
Blueprint 4eva
Tears, this song is beautiful ❤️
I just helplessly miss The Seahorses so much
Brilliant tune love the Seahorses
So much talent great band
One of my all time fave songs!! Heard it live a couple of times aswell!!
I was lucky enough to see them play twice... Once on the album tour at Manchester Apollo supported by third eye blind.

Absolute anthem this I love it never fails to make me feel young again
Aaaw blast from the past popped in my head there aaaand ☺️ lovely
I'd have LOVED to play the bass in this breathtaking band. What a pleasure it must have been on stage!!!
Chris Helm played a solo gig in Dumbarton about 10 years ago, he was tremendous
LOVED this song. got the single. probably my favorite Seahorses song.
I love John's guitar work and his collection. Black Beauty at 1:58 is a stunner!!
Went looking for a horse...
Tuuune! I used to jam to this when I was 17/18, I'm now 37 tome flies man!
Me encanta ❤️

Ah wished I had known earlier not heard from him in a long time, he did a few spots in my home town with his old bass player
Martin Glenn I'll let you know when he'll be down next, he will be back!
The album along with this were a big part of my youth, caught them in 98 at TITP. God I miss the 90's
Aww, man! I remember this when i was a teenager, fantastic tune and a missed band. thanks for this mate, top lad!

Bought their album on release and still love it. Gutted that this song isn't on it. How I've never heard it before is beyond me as i absolutely love this song.

Lyrics
Don't you think that maybe I should slow down?
I've got so many things to say
I had to write 'em down
I was feeling alone
So I'm on the phone to you
Now that you're here
I hope that you're hearing all the words I say to you
I've talked myself round, you can talk to me too
You can talk to me
Anytime that you feel the pain
I'll take the strain (You can talk to)
You can talk to me
Anytime I can help you out
Give me a shout
You can talk to me
Oh yeah
Don't you think that maybe I should calm down?
I'm sick of staring at these walls, I'm gonna kick 'em down
I was feeling alone, getting cold
And I feel like a natural born killer
Boring holes and cheap polyfiller
And I borrowed 50 dollars to ring you
To tell you, everything is alright
You can talk to me
Anytime that you feel the pain
I'll take the strain (You can talk to)
You can talk to me
Anytime I can help you out
Give me a shout
You can talk to me
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah
You know, you know, you know
You can talk to me
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah
Well come on, come on, come on, come on
You can talk to me
Anytime I can help you out
Give me a shout
You can talk to me
Anytime that you feel the pain
I'll take the strain
You can talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeee
I always thought it was...Boring holes, anti polyfiller
It really was was at work heard love is the law on radio when released I asked my father to get me the single came back with album I couldn’t stop playing DIY on repeat for years I said instantly these could be bigger than the actual Beatles if they keep writing like this but Squire fkd it up wanting to write all the songs in second album and it had no love isvlaw, love me leave me, hello, round the universe, Suicide drive, blinded by the sun I was in tears when they split they were my Beatles

The demos for the second Seahorses album can be found on youtube. Search for 'Minus Blue'. Personally I'd recommend Chris Helme's solo album 'The Rookery', it's amazing. His voice is do much better than back in The Seahorses.
The Rookery is miles better than Minus Blue though!! Personally I don't really like Minus Blue but there's a right good atmosphere about The Rookery
saltedpenguins - Thank you. 💋
before the awesome rookery check out the album he made with a band called the yards
Sean Brown ❤
My favorite song
why has this only got 57,000 views, i used to love these guys they shoulda been huge. shame!
