Fifa '06. This song makes me want to cry. Damn how I miss my childhood when my life still had promise
Every day is a new opportunity, even if hard times seem to only keep coming
😭
😢 😢😢
You still have promise
We all do
Your life only loses its promise if you keep believing stuff like that homie

YOU MADE ME FUCKING CRY MAN. REAL NOSTALGIA RIGHT HERE
To me there is no better song written about the plight of the teenagers of our nation during the early 21st Century than this song, The lost hope of teenagers growing up 20 years ago is still relevant in 2024 and this video shows it off perfectly.
It’s even bloody worse now.
65 year old here
I’m In my 20s and me and my friends been into vintage bands for ages . That’s why we have the internet it’s like our own record store tbh. We share bands from all times from the stooges and the voidoids - The Vines and etc
Because we are the chosen generation buddy. We make our reality.
It's off the scale intense and anybody who grew up white working class poor in the 60s/70s/80s will feel every second of the video in their gut. It also amazes me the chutzpah of the band to put that queasy pitch-shift onto everything; it shouldn't work by any of the rules of music production, but it does. It's an unsettling song and needs to sound unsettled, which it does when it cuts through the vast swathes of 90s dross on daily repeat on Absolute Radio.
The lyrics to this track and the video are a perfect reflection of the desperation associated with growing up in small town UK, most prominently in the north. Every one of these towns should have a direct free bus route on an hourly basis to the big cities so that the people who find themselves cornered in such a town can escape the dreary depressing life they have been born into and explore civilisation!
There is so much to this track and the video that resinates with me. The world has moved on too quickly for some places and those stuck in small towns are left behind, trying to cook up any entertainment they can for themselves which for the young, normally borders criminality.
This is a masterful reflection in both song an video, a perfect storm analysis of modern Britain.
I've never gone to the UK, but that's what I felt about this video, teenage anguish.
That's so articulate. Thanks.
stokiesteve71 while I agree, the cities are just grounds for being stabbed nowadays so I know what I’d rather for my children.
@@ThatRunnerAaron You can be stabbed anywhere nowadays Joe. County lines drugs supply to small towns has seen to that. There may be more crime in the bigger cities but that is because the are more densely populated IMO. I suppose it depends where you live though Joe and different experiences in different parts of the UK. I dare say that living in St Albans is a different experience to living in Widnes. Both are smaller towns on the outskirts of large cities. Dunno Just my thinking mate.
Joe Macdonald sucks right? my town had a huge field mostly used for football and walking dogs but now they cut it in half to make a new neighbourhood
I grew up in Glasgow and this is exactly how i felt. At 16 i forged my fathers signature for a passport and left for Greece. After travelling to 35 countries the sadness is still there. All the therapy in the world can never change how you feel .
Wow now covid has everyone feeling like this am in Sweden btw👍
Never look back. The past is a wilderness of horrors.💀
@@maxshade2935 nice advise, bro.
La tristesse durera
I am from Barcelona, Spain, I've heard that Glasgow is very dangerous, lots of stabbing and drug use, but I am curious about Adedeen, I'd like to visit and maybe live there. Barcelona sucks also.
After finding this it brought a tear to my eye, FIFA 06 memories
those where the days
Nostalgia
Bro. I caught the exact feeling when i heard this on the radio today. First time ive heard it since i left university in 2007. Very nostalgic tune
Just made me have a flashback good times good times
I read this message literally after nearly tearing up
I can not even explain the nostalgia trip I get from this song. Reminds me of when I had no single worry in the world except for becoming a footballstar. Back when I would play soccer in the street with friends in my Ronaldinho jersey.
Life looked so easy and full of promises back then. How time flies..
Agreed. Well said. . Miss those days
travelled outside Africa to the UK for the first time played footy on the uk streets and enjoyed it
Then you grew up and realized the hell you really live in, i know the feeling
No wonder you didn’t become a football star calling it “soccer”, whatever that means
you are my soulmate bro every details even ronaldinho jersey
Impossible not to remember Eric Cantona and young Beckham goals with this song
Man u to ftw
@As33 fifa 06
And Rooney! Hus debut for everton. Oh god :'( Im old.
Ronaldinho, guily
@@romelulukaku3242 16 years old and 9 months he was, debuted for Everton every football fans remembers 🥲
2006..... the best year of my life so far. I was 15 years old and my country hosted the WorldCup. This song and FIFA06 reminds me of happy times and a fantastic summer 2006. I miss these days (and also the game) sooo much. Life was so much easier back then.
Same here. Finally we felt what are the elders felt when they said, "my childhood was great" in the time of our childhood day. 2003-08 are the great days.
It was a great world cup. I saw each game at a diferent place, bars, beach clubs, etc. Nowadays I hardly go out.
Isso, war genauso alt und es war der geilste Sommer meines Lebens. Dazu bin ich noch Italiener lebend in germany :D war schon geil damals... so unbeschwert
What makes life more different and difficult for you ?
Great Time thé 2000’s bin heute 31 . Die 2000er waren eine tolle Zeit, unvergessen ! 💙 für immer in meinem Herzen . Bis ich eines Tages gehe. WM 2006, PS2, PS1, FIFA Football.
Them top 10 goals, real OGs know what I'm talking about, ahhhhh good times
FIFA 06 my nigga.
legit watched them every day. fucking legends all of them
fuggin good times man
Itachi Remember the intro video??... It was epic
Soccer am dvd?
Tune brings a tear to my eye. Wish I could go back to 2005-06.
1980s please
Aye, does the soul wonders..

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
@@oppothumbs1 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
I remember this time thinking ... Wow its like the mid 90s again....I took great solace from that..... Now its another distant memory
Someone out there listening this masterpiece ? Have a great 2020
I'm listening to this in May 2020 I'm 61 and fucking loving it!
Great 2020!
@@yonisi3781 I read this as being bitterly sarcastic, and it gave me a good laugh
This song is my hype song before a Portland Timbers game or when am on my way to play soccer with some buddys
May 24th 2020, Cork, Ireland 🇮🇪 Great song
This song deserves way more attention than it got.
The Doves deserve way more attention than they got.
This feels special to mid 90’s kids, the final 20th century generation, growing up in a world that was changing faster than we could keep up with, and clinging to a time gone by. The bridge between the old and the new. Nokia to an itouch, Bebo to Facebook, the PlayStation to the Xbox 360, fat grey tellies to HD flatscreens. We got a taste of technology but it didn’t dominate our lives. We had nice clothes but it wasn’t all skinny fit overpriced branding. We had cameras but didn’t document anything and everything for the hope of a ‘like and share’. You went out and played, had sleepovers, traded Pokémon and Match attax. Now you’re obsessed with micro transactions, meeting through screens, and wasting the days away online, addicted to social media, projecting unhealthy fantasies. They’re becoming artificial, soulless almost.
Great comment mate. Sums it up really.
You hit the nail on the head. 2000s had just the right balance of technology. After 2009 things started to go downhill fast
i felt this so much
@@Tomrogersmusic- i feel most people were happier back then, its not just our generation. My parents were also happier for sure
Exactly. I feel truely blessed to carry that youth. Technology went so fast even though if you look at we had, seems now so old.
I think our youth really enjoyed more and was more pure then nowadays.
Bergkamp goal with this song...simply spectacular!
Rafa Peláez Pauleta FTW :p
David Beckham

Naah Tony Yeboah!
The most underrated band of a generation.
Best live band I ever saw!
02:57 con la maglia di Vieri... che grande, bei ricordi, FIFA 06
non ce la faccio
troppi ricordi...
Davvero
Mamma che ricordi FIFA 06
Quite simply the greatest music video ever made. When this came out if perfectly mirrored the lives of me and my friends. Some of those lads are dead now. Killed by drugs, shot in Afghanistan, stabbed... But I watch this video back fondly and remember when we were young and it was all to play for. Fuck I miss them days.
Joe Chill do u mean some of the boys in the video are dead or your friends ? Cos one is my brother and he died but it was nothing to do with drugs or any of the other shit u just said
He just means that it inspires nostalgic thoughts in his head, it's actually quite a compliment to how right the video gets somethings about British culture because this inspires a few memories for me too.
Alan Davies love the song And especially cos my brothers in the vid
@@elleleonard892 Fair enough i'd be as well, which one is he btw?
See he didn't reply
Totally captures and bottles the fun and danger, tears and laughter of whole underclass of kids who are easily despised or patronised. There's magic everywhere.
@@stevenchampion8137 I agree
5 years too late to say but the best comment ever on UA-cam
You saw magic in kids beating up each other and smashing stuff up in this video? All I saw was f**ked up lives and sadness.
1:56
ITS ME LOL
No freaking way, I always thought that girl was well cute 😅👌🏾
Why did you do that weird head shake 😅
@@childmandude4390 It was probably sped up and she didn't get to see the final cut ?
Hoy escuché esta canción despues de mucho tiempo y me llevo a los mejores años de mi vida, jugando FIFA 2006 con mis primos, nos emocionábamos y salíamos en bicicleta a un parque para jugar Futbol, extraño ese tiempo, eramos libres y no habia problemas, ese recuerdo ahora se convierte en el mejor de los sueños, siempre lo he dicho "La música es la única máquina del tiempo que conozco"
ME LLEGO EL MISMO SENTIMIENTO, ESOS DIAS EN LOS QUE TENIA 10 AÑOS
We, no ma, me llega tambien a mí, tenia 7 años alv
👏👏👏
Мне было 15 лет, я не играл в фифу 2005, хотя до этого очень много играл в фифа 2003 и 2004. А вот после чемпионата мира 2006 снова вждохновился футболом и много времени провел в этой игре) Тогда еще много играл в Готику1, и Готику 2 и еще другие разные игры.
My friends are here who remember 2006 and a FIFA match with this song. This is incredible. We were all hopeful children of our simple and beautiful world. Thank you FIFA and Doves for giving so many people the opportunity to remember beautiful memories together.
Life smelled different back then
Sounding just as good in 2024.
They sound better the older I get..
They managed to capture what it's like living on a chavvy council estate in some shithole (I mean Black & White!) northern UK town unbelievably well. I remember hearing this song and thinking that, and then I saw the music video was LITERALLY what I imagined in my head when listening to it.
How they captured something so accurately through sound alone is remarkable.
I remember downloading this song from Limewire and listening to it on my iPod Nano.
Doves' music feels so.. I don't know, british. I've only been in London, but their songs make me think of the british north, or, well, the way I imagine it. Damp weather, maybe a little rain. Sky heavy with clouds. Grey, unresting sea. Endless plain green hills. Friends hanging out by a little road, their bikes on the ground, next to them. This could be completely wrong, of course, but I love it.
Nailed it.
Everytime i hear this song makes me fell nostalgic, happy, sad and hopefull, more now that is raining here in Mexico. Kinda weird.
a mi tmbien me da un buen de nostalgia,con madre paisano!
wtf! mexico in the coments jajaja
La netaaaa .. cada que uno la escucha .. diablos aquellos tiempos que llegabas dee la secu al la play a jugar fifa 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@Jarvs.Larrz. yeah xD jajajaja
Yucatán, Mexico here! 2021
2021 and still one of the best alt rock songs around.
The video describes my childhood almost perfectly. Fuck Fifa, What a song!
Jesus fuck you
Great song
Jesus I thought you died for our sin how come you're here
This video is the most accurate representation of Britain you will find
If you're a chav, sure.
They keep this side off t.v. until they want someone to patronise. This is literally what I grew up amongst, and it's everywhere. I escaped long ago, but I can vouch that this is what Britain looks like, at least to a lot of us.
Alfex ... should be grateful for social mobility then.
I grew up in council housing. But through qualifications hard work and self belief I’m now firmly ensconced in a middle class way of life.
Being wealthier is better, if only for financial reasons (nicked quote from Woody Allen I think?)
John i mean im growin up in that 'chavvy' part of Britain as said in the replies to this at 13 years old and watchin this video with great music to it makes me wonder if i even wanna get out of the place im in now like its how im bein brought up and i like it. But i wonder if ill be what i wanna be and still go back. im from druids heath birmingham by the way.
@@danfadil what do you mean exactly? Britain sucks?
Back in the days when fifa had great music that fits to the game
This years soundtrack is actually really good imo.
Fifa always had good soundtrack
@Aaron Penfold haha I stopped buying fifa after 17.
Except FIFA 17 the sound track list sucked
Aaron Penfold opinion tho really I think 20 is great but fifa 06 had the best songs in it also 15
this is real british national anthem
🇮🇪
Today I heard this song after a long time and it took me to the best years of my life, playing FIFA 2006 with my cousins, we got excited and went to a park to play soccer, I miss that time, we were free and without problems, that I remember now it becomes the best of dreams, I have always said "Music is the only time machine I know"
true from letter to letter
having lived in the north for a long time i can confirm this. add in some of the friendliest people you will ever meet and some of the most casual violence you will ever see and its pretty much spot on
life is so beautiful, yet so tragic. here’s to all the youth, to all those who remember this from our past, and to those who are no longer with us. i hope we can all make it out one day, whatever that means
People from around the world..
Welcome to the real Britain ❤
Don't know about the fifa thing..but Doves have been with me for a very long time....Class Tune From A Class Band.
please continue
Always will m8..Doves forever :)
Richard Coles You don't know about Fifa? Best football video game in the world
Yea ikr. Im still trying to suss out the meaning of this video. Some young kids that think they're hard who like punching cushions and football and are violent to women. And also about sitting above a motorway writing stuff on a converse shoe?
its trying to make people understand life In an English council estate - the lowest you can get socially speaking
One of the greatest songs ever
I was hunting this song for years!!!
You look like james franco lol haha
Não é a primeira vez que dizem isso aqui no UA-cam :/
lol you could easily look up FIFA 06 trax playlist
Such an underrated tune in my opinion. Not my favourite band by any means but one of my favourite songs of last ten years!
Aye, + lost interest with Fifa in the world of sobriety, but this TUNE's aged well & glad was on a BeeB 'Arts Programme' reminding how amazing it is. 😍
I've always found this song to be really emotional....it's quite haunting....I think it's because I feel so sorry for the kids in it..but at least the little one gets out in the end 😄
Lol the little one that gets out at the end... Hes my best mate lol,
@@CmereU the ones I know of were just locals from the estate .. Only part of it was filmed in Toryglen .. not sure of the other areas but I’d assume if they used locals when they filmed in Toryglen they would’ve done so elsewhere .. that being said my friend (the boy in the arsenal top) was actually doing some acting at the time ,had been in some short films etc so maybe a bit of both 🤷♂️
some shots are from my area in summerston, but i didnt know none of the people i just recognise the areas as it was about a 5 minute walk from my house
Fifa 06, good memories.
I love this video
Where you could hit 40 yard wonder goals, those were the days
@@Adam__U Corner goals all the way!
Memorable Moments meu garoto!! 👏👏
Wish Doves would return, one of my favourite bands.
Chris F 71 Yor dreams come true
They're playing Victorious festival in Portsmouth this August .. buzzing 👍
Where do you live? Have you seen the line up for Victorious? Its wicked for the money Victorious charge 👍
They have returned
They back!
My Mum was pregnant with me when her and my Dad went to see Doves, been a fan before I was even born!!
Cantona n°1 in TOP 10 best Goals, Zidane, Del Piero, Henry, Schevchenko Ronaldinho... great time
Deeeel Pieeeroooooo!!! What a BEAST!
Yeboah
Still my favourite song of all time. Love to Doves for this track. Means the world to me this song
Here comes the action
Here comes at last
Lord give me a reaction
Lord give me a chanceYou should follow me down
In satellite towns
There's no colour and no sound
I've been ten feet undergroundGot to get out of this satellite townHere comes some action
First time in my life
I gotta get up to get compensation
I gotta get up to get this to lightWhether you live alone
Or you're trying to find your way in this world
you better make sure that you don't crack you're head on that pavement, man
My God! what a shock!
It's been preying on me and mine
This is a dangerous place man
This is a dangerous place, there's nothing here.You should follow your way down
In satellite towns
There's no colour and no sound
I've been ten feet undergroundBlack and White TownYou should follow me down
There's no colour and no sound
In the Black and White Town
I've been ten feet underground
In the Black and White Town
Getzel Gallagher mucho inglich
si senorita
couldn't have said it better...
I thought he sang "gotta get pissed tonight" which means drunk over here.
The first half of this video is like a snapshot into lockdown life.
Doesn't get anymore UK than this. This is top-tier English Premier.
Omg I can remember this song since I played fifa 06 when I was 4 years old. Proovs how catchy this song is.

Today Feb, 25th, 2022, I remember playing fifa
06 and I would just stare at the menu listening to this song before playing, more football and no war lads, greetings from a small city in Mexico
Ps I still have it and still works
Love this song so much.... As some people have said before, this is England's national anthem!!
I Agree
Britain's
thank you fifa 06 for this song. LOVE IT!!
I've just seen your face on Kingdom of Rust,are you knew to The Doves?
***** lol i do love kingdom of rust, by the way i've been listening to them since 2006, so i'm not new to them
Toniel Bromfield Well you've got great taste,do you like Elbow?
***** i don't know them, but i'll listen to them
Toniel Bromfield One day like this is a cracking song,you've probably heard it just never knew who sung it. Guy Garvey is the lead singer and he's the guy with the beard in Band Aid 30.
Awe, still an emotional wonder.😍.
We have the same DNA Britain and North Italian people,we love you Bro 👹💚🤍❤️
Latest Brassic brought me here - episode 2 had very tiny bit in it, and needed to hear the full beauty in full again 😊
I remember going out to buy this CD in 2005/2006 when you could still go to a CD store and buy CDs. Of course, I couldn't find it so had to order it through the store. I hadn't heard of the band before and this was the first song of theirs I heard on MTV2 when that was still a thing. Anyway, listening to the album was a different sort of treat. Phlegmatic but so ardent at the same time. It's not pretentious in any way - I don't feel bogged down or super hopeful...it's just enough to keep me going and I like that.
2024, still masterpiece!
Good God. What a band, what a track, what a video! Perfectly captures the boredom of a working class teenage life. Yass Macclesfield!
2019 and still as meaningfully good as ever. Found on fifa then grew to understand the meaning of the song later. It's actually very suiting because fifa and football in general is a common pass time for the British youth that inspired this.
My favourite from the last 30 years.
Thanks Doves.
Best of Fifa 2006 song !!! Non ce la faccio...troppi ricordi...
A truly great Mancunian band for sure !!! An anthemic song for 12&13 year old British kids !
Classic 🤍
Esta canción me trae recuerdos memorables de mi adolescencia, en especial con esa conexión que hacia con mi pueblo. De como no puedes salir, estando privado por la angustia de adolescer. Doves, me regaló en esos días, muchos momentos, una banda muy menospreciada, sus 4 discos son una reverenda gloria de la música británica. Mas música como esta se debería hacer hoy en día. Larga vida a Doves.
definitivamente me siento identificado contigo, aunque fué en mi niñez!
I went on my very first cruise at 13 an this song was already a favorite,so when i saw it on the tv on a loop of songs in my Cabin it was nostalgia hearing it always bring me back to being 13 on a cruise meeting such a beautiful girl just me and her running around the ship just being kids im 30 now. an its still one of my most prized memories.
Can't fault that tbf. Cherish it fella...✌
This video opens up nostalgia to memories I don’t have.
music like this makes you feel a way
easily one of my favourite songs of all time. Happy to see they are back
Reminds me of when I was depressed 14 year old, I’m now a depressed 29 year old, how time flys
Found this in 2019, how the hell di I missed this! Can't stop watching mv and listen to this song over and over again.. Freakin hypnotizing
x2
Can relate to this 100% -grew up in a grim satellite town in Northern England and made it my goal in life to get out of there as soon as possible and as far away as possible. I went to university on the other side of the country then moved to Asia after that. Places like that can toughen you up but also hold you back in life.
The fact this didn’t make the Fifa World Cup playlist is criminal
Absolutely amazing tune by a fantastic band... so under rated by the music press.. their music is top drawer
Remember playing Fifa 06 on the PS2 with me dad during the school holidays or after playing footy on a weekend. Any combination of teams, Barnet vs Barcelona, Accrington Stanley vs AC Milan. This song brings it all back.
Being a teenager in an east coast town of Bridlington, me and my mates used to get the train from Hull and go to London Carnaby St back in the middle 80"s to get the buzz.
Timeless and unforgettable song and video. And way ahead of it's time, with the angry and frustrated kid wearing the Arsenal Jersey.
An incredibly accurate capturing of growing up in Glasgow in the 90’s, you can actually see Liddlesdale road in Milton at 1:31, lived here for 27 years and I so desperately long to escape this black and white town. The scenery, the feel and the upbringing, Doves described it perfectly here.
Banger forever
I`d love to hear how all these kids are doing today? I wonder what they`ve been up to and if they moved out? This is the same all over the UK but in some of the comments i`m reading its the same EVERYWHERE? Thats a tad depressing!
Doves are finally back! They are touring and releasing a new album soon
Doves é sensacional, underrated, conheci a primeira vez no inicio dos anos 2000, onde a MTV Brasil passava o clipe de "There goes the fear", e até hoje essa banda faz parte da minha playlist, assim comovárias do cenario britpop/ indie rock. Seu ultimo album, The universal want manteve a identidade e nivel da banda. Pouquíssimas pessoas aqui conhecem eles, é sinal que tenho um otimo gosto haha, 2024 e sigo ouvindo.
Been trying to find this for yonks but never heard it enough in the first place to know what it was about. Sweet.
The memories this song brings back would honestly make you emotional.
A great snapshot of working class life in 2000s Britain, depressing but joyful at the same time.
Love the video in Fifa 06 with greatest goals with this song.
Reminds me of my home town...
...Black and white town
oof
Ps Scunthorpe.
Someone out there listening to this masterpiece, have a great 2023.
Oh and I'll be a dad in a weeks time ❤️
#COYG ❤️🤍
Congrats 🎉
What a great video to an amazing song. Perfectly encapsulates the disaffection of youth in the UK and the utter mundanity and banal nature of living in what could be over 100 different UK towns
stunning track.hard to take in its 15 years old.still fresh still brilliant.
sooooo nostalgic
One of my fav songs. Fifa 2006.
It's from the goal montage I remember it well
I just heard this song 88.9 FM radio Akron Ohio awesome song
You had to be from the 90s or early 2000s to capture the early 2000s... Nobody now knows how things were like back then
Filmed in Glasgow and directed by Lynne Ramsay (Morvern Callar, We Need To Talk About Kevin). Brilliant that one of my old favourite songs is directed by such a legendary movie maker as well!
What a time to be alive...
Rooney and Ronaldo pinging them in for utd.
Ronaldinho lightning it up at Barca , Kaka breaking onto the scene.
Oh to be young again.
Not only fifa memories i remember we play fifa 06 with my cousins and our grandmother always bring to us dinner haha great times, now she is dead since 2010..... Good olds times
Time flies my friend. I remember playing this game as a kid and watching that top 10 goals video in the menu with this song popping up. Crazy memories. Take care bro
A fantastic underrated band.. Done some exquisite music and albums. Love the Doves...
The intro gets me everytime I hear it. I go back to 2006 and being pregnant with my 2nd child. It's the drumbeat and piano that's haunting but brilliant
