The rakes were a brilliant band and the song Strasbourg the censored version of that song was on fifa 06 and a censored version of the song retreat was in fifa manger 06 btw great song band and album
I've got the same shirt on for two days in a row With a soya sauce stain so everyone knows Can shower and scrub Still smell like the smoking bit in a Weatherspoons pub
I heard this song in the pub, thought, I know and like this song and thought it needs to be downloaded. quickly I recognised the voice and knew it was The Rakes. I already own their first album so I searched everything that wasn't their first album until a few months later when I was listening to the first album in full and then me the idiot realised that it was on the first album all along. Good song tho
Don't confuse this with Secret Machines, there is one riff that is very similar at the beginning after that it is very clearly a different song and a very fun one at that....
Because they weren't that good. But I don't care. These bands set the curriculum for my music education when I was 14 and had nothing but FIFA06 and a copy of Limewire to direct what I was into. And what I like is how I can appreciate they weren't that great. But now, at 19, I like the nods to going out, not knowing what to do, and running out of clothes. It's weirdly endearing. And even if it isn't, it's a good last song before heading to the pub. Which I'm doing now. Pint of coopers, mate.
When you're 33 and this song has basically been on repeat in the back of your head for 12 years.
mickeyhynes mate you and I share the spirit! Grow up with kids but this youth music spirit remains in me!
I'm 34 - and I'm in a crap job now my media course is done! Haha.
Im 32 and woman from eastern europe imagine how I feel
Im 17 a young kid from east asia:)
41 still here 👍🏻
What an underrated band! 36 and still listening to these guns!
Remember being 16 and watching them filming this outside Croydon College from the window, we had entertainment all day in our art class. So old 🧓🏼
32 isn’t old!
Where does the time go? Fuck!!!
Wish I was young again, miss these times
Best Rakes tune by a country mile.
Absolutely. Still stands up.
their whole first album was awesome.
Work, Work, Work everyday. Awesome song, style, band, Alan.
Outstanding, i like it when they say "it's all these words, idea's and different arguments". awsome.

Great song love the rakes

They played my uni Freshers Week in 2005 and I’ve loved them ever since…what do you mean that’s nearly 20 years ago?

Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine.

@livebreathehorse That's Right! Kids all over the world needs music like this.
Sweet.

If you're not in a good mood after listening to this song, you're either sedated or dead.
New song and album out soon. so excited :) Alan is hoooooooooooot
You know what's kind of sad, is I remember "Smoking bits" of a pub. Jesus christ I feel old.
Denis & Margaret his new projekt!

glad someone agrees
lo vi 4 veces cada historia hey regresen
hahaha be nice!
I prefer "The world was a mess...", I love it. But that song is also awesome
Lol i changed my mind on this, i like this one better now
Don't confuse this with Secret Machines, there is one riff that is very similar at the beginning after that it is very clearly a different song and a very fun one at that....
it's slendid
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Are their albums still available? I hope so.
oh, s'ry.
I was sayin that the group have a sonority that make me think at Dirty Pretty Things and The Strokes.
The Rakes are great. Pity they split up.
Try listening to Nowhere Again by Secret Machines, same song done a few years ago
wow, that song really "talks to me" if you see what i mean... i would like to put my arms around the srcrean. lol!
Soy peruano ye°!
@jimmybart1981 - é russo, mas eu não tenho a mínima ideia de que caralhos está escrito lá!
its a shame they split up in 2009 :(
est-que j'ai raison si je dis que ils sont tres aimé en france? (je ne peut pe écrire tres bien le francais...)
OI LOIKE BRIT POP
@nalivaykodima
Я разве написал что они распались из-за этого?
Просто именно в России о них знают единицы.
That's shit! I didn't know that. Sad news indeed. Brilliant band.
Ca fait vachement DPT croisé aux Strokes oO ?
считаю что записывали они отличные песни и альбомы не хуже kaiser chiefs , но как видим признания во всем мире они не получили(
They split....sad new......
I primi due cd erano piacevoli. Il terzo e' stato un disastro, e cosi la loro avventura e' finita presto. ( peccato)
Non mi aspettavo di trovare italiani qui.
@@AntonioSedicina e invece....
Because they weren't that good.
But I don't care. These bands set the curriculum for my music education when I was 14 and had nothing but FIFA06 and a copy of Limewire to direct what I was into.

Which I'm doing now.
Pint of coopers, mate.
How are u doing now pal?
I wouldnt say that they are both very great songs but they arent similar at all
@nalivaykodima
В мире получили, в России нет
Except the Machines did it better.
