Dudes, ladies, 1989 I was 16 and just leaving school, off for an apprenticeship, about to start earning, about to to discover pubs, nightclubs and eager young ladies. Great times, it all seems like yesterday. 51 now, two kids, a wife and a teacher in Ireland, time flies, make it special.
I read all the comments here, all the memories associated with this masterpiece and I feel that I am a brother to all of you, no matter your age, color, size, anything. Be well everyone and happy holidays
Burnt Herb your spot on fella. . Was a great time . From the Fridge in Brixton . Wait for the pirate station. . Then we’d be off probably somewhere around the M25. 😲. But great memories for sure. 😊
Born in 1973 - I start raving in 1992, all indoors by then - white glove ravers, altern-8 facemasks with Vicks vapour rub on the inside (millenials think face masks all started with Covid lol) and just one pill that would keep you dancing for 6 hours plus - Dennis the menace, Doves, Californian Sunrises, Disco Biscuits, too many pills to think of. Did a couple of warehouse/illegal raves around that time, nearly always resulting in them getting busted either before or during the event. Sounds like you had more luck with them that we did ha ha
Listened to this with headphones above the white clouds on an airliner in the early hours of the morning....it gave me goosebumps, excellent tune,......love The Beloved
Wow I could not imagine how amazing that would be to hear this tune while in the air. If you can get your hands into cafe del mar 40th anniversary its the first track. Directly from the CD sounds even more fantastic.
Such beautiful music... Bliss.... We used to listen to this the morning after the long night..... When you'd music overload and needed to be levelled out... This was it
There is still decent music being made but... Nobody can make tune of this quality ....it’s like all the best tunes have already been made ...peace to you all xx
One of my all time FAVORITES! Ahead of its' time, timeless and unforgettable. I cannot watch a sunrise without it coming to bless my memory and touch my soul.
@@aidystunez8060 I was going to say the exact same thing, you could pretty much discount the top 10 Stock Atkin and Waterman dross, the good stuff started further down
@@waysilentbob6976 No not at all, still had stuff getting in the top 10 + 20 that w as not SAW from likes of: The Cure, U2, and other Dance/Acid House stuff from likes of: D-Mob, Soul 2 Soul, Bomb the Bass, Inner City! etc
Remember sitting at cafe del mar in Ibiza back in the day .. they were playing this as the sun was going down ironically ..didn’t mind , was happy looking out to sea clenching my jaw sipping a San Miguel😁..many moons ago, 58 this year😂👍
I've still got the 12 inch remix on vinyl from 1989 and it's been played to death but in perfect condition. The best of times. Music held so much magic and promise.
Takes me back to a happier time more when my mum wasn't so crippled with arthritis and was mobile. I used walk down to meet her from work with the dog (long gone now 😢😢) and we d just chat on the way back. I had this on my Walkman and I always think of those Thursdays and Fridays when I d walk down to meet her at her workplace with the dog. Very bittersweet memories with this song
What a song a 90s classic raver but love all kinds of music I'm part of a music oriented family. I took .my mother .to see simpleminds live in concert .she was 64 .at the time
what a banger still all these years later. the bassline the keys the synth the kick the ethereal vocals that unmistakeable 4 to the floor. perfect makings of 90s house
Truly one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Ethereal is I’m sure a word that comes to mind for many listeners 🖤🖤 This was a massive record in the clubs as well, not surprising as it is just as much a radiant house track as it is a sublime exercise in tranquility. Hearing this on proper speakers was a beautiful thing!!
This song was introduced to me via the "moods" movement of the 90's. I fell in love. And I will always promote the 80s and 90s as the most influential decades of all time. We were spoiled for musical variation and new genres.
I heard this song back in 1990 over 30 freaking years ago!!! And I play this in my cars sound system every chance I have - Loud!! Unique sound baby!! ❤😂
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
The beginning of a fantastic decade of music where I became a teenager 10 years too late! (Strict upbringing) Forever grateful for the soundtrack to my freedom
One of the greatest downtempo songs ever made. Love the angelic melodies and pad synth. Better song than "Sweet Harmony" which many people know due to the nudity. Makes me nostalgic for Sunday mornings on MTV Dance UK.
Epic! Memory of this classic is Summer of 89 in a Blackburn warehouse party with this playing as the shutters came up 🙏🙌! At Unit 7 in my opinion. Any other 52 yr old party people able to confirm ??
Bass, haunting vocals, synths entering the new age of 90s from the gorgeous acid house era a smooth groove still true to its core ingredients - this a a PIONEERING tune . Timeless classic!!! That classic 808 feel is what has made music of that time, timeless yet so effortlessly surreal! Simply outstanding . Take me back!!! 💜 89-94 best era of musical genius pioneered sounds for past present and future hands down! #808stateforever 🥁🎹
Recorded this off a pirate radio station when I was 17 and listened to a lot - wooow - it takes me back. I didn’t realize at the time what an amazing time it was to be a teenager ❤
If you're still out there Jon let us know what you're up to. Immense times: Happiness and Conscience were my two constant companions on my journey through the early 90s. Cheers pal.
Remember hearing this in the late 80s early 90s and Remember how fresh and different it sounded and it still sounds the same today, its a song that never gets old and the bass line is and vocals are pure perfection....
I remember hearing this for the first time in a bar back in 2013. It was a really hot day and I was having the time of my life... whilst trying to Shazam this song before it ended
We were only being boring, we had too much time to find for ourselves. Music really is just one giant interconnected web of expression and people are constantly borrowing from each other. But I can never ignore the similarities I see and I often feel like people are ripping off each other. But really, they are just inspired.
Great track coming at the end of a great decade of music the 80s was music and I'm only glad I lived it rather than the sun rising the sun was setting onnthe 80s just a state of mind we leave behind
This is unbelievable for the generation that was summarized by the word ‘rave’. This is the god .
The end of the 80's and the start of the 90's
Well there is a little band named 'Fathless' that you might want to listen to.
😂😂Faithless tracks were good but not a patch on this. Dudes went in on this! @@byteme007
Another masterpiece of those wonderful years...miss '80s---> when everyone used to have real fun 😒❤
Laying in the middle of a field!! Watching the sun rise after the best illegal race I’ve ever been to!! Wow 🤩 they really were the days ❤❤❤
Dudes, ladies, 1989 I was 16 and just leaving school, off for an apprenticeship, about to start earning, about to to discover pubs, nightclubs and eager young ladies.
Great times, it all seems like yesterday.
51 now, two kids, a wife and a teacher in Ireland, time flies, make it special.
And Es 😅
Gen X here. 💪
It must of been an amazing time to be alive.
@@grahamheys6949 same apart from the ireland thing and the eager young ladies
I was 20, and this track was such a welcome anthem for 1989!
If they don't play this at my funeral,I'm not going!
Haha, brilliant :)
Hahaha great comment 😂
You are freaking awesome!
Well said, sir!!!
😅🤣😂
Ha ha great comment same here!! I love this track 👍
Such an underrated band, so many great tracks
This tune is still a gem.. the first time I heard this tune was back in 1989.. I think. Still a huge tune in 2022 .. it will never grow old..
Too bloody right.
GEM! couldn't describe it better!
There isnt an artist around today capable of this,
ahead of there time ageless brilliance

I read all the comments here, all the memories associated with this masterpiece and I feel that I am a brother to all of you, no matter your age, color, size, anything. Be well everyone and happy holidays
This song brings tears to my eyes, its that beautiful and magical 😢
You must be beautiful yourself to be able to feel this. May your God bless you and bring you peace ✌️☮️💜
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it in 1989. An underrated gem.
Check out the whole "Happiness" album...
......as did I.....
Rated by those who know.
Released 32 years ago THIS WEEK. Where has the time gone?
One of my all-time favourite dance songs. Very mellow and soothing.
1989. South London . Waiting on the Common to see where the Rave was going to be . 😊😊😊
Burnt Herb your spot on fella. . Was a great time . From the Fridge in Brixton . Wait for the pirate station. . Then we’d be off probably somewhere around the M25. 😲. But great memories for sure. 😊
Who gives a fuck you waster.

This song is so underrated, nobody told me about it, certainly a hidden gem.
Check out the whole "Happiness" album...
It defined the move from acid house to house
They deserved so much more success than they had. Great music that stands the test of time.
I was at a free party in Wiltshire and this played just as the sun came up. Yeh.✌️💜😁
Every old bastard like me has a special place in their heart for this.
Probably my most favourite song of all time.
Listened to this with headphones above the white clouds on an airliner in the early hours of the morning....it gave me goosebumps, excellent tune,......love The Beloved
surely a great place and time to experience this gem!!!

This tune is like therapy for the mind x
Hauntingly beautiful.
This piece by Jon Marsh/The Beloved is rhythmically hypnotic and soothes the soul!!
It still sounds as fresh as a daisy. It evokes timeless beauty which carries you off into a world where all music is as perfect as this
just take me back to the 90's so i can stay there forever
I was 18 in 1990 only God knows how im still alive!
Me too! Peace
@@jamesward7721 Aye same here!! Loved this track, and hey still do :D
15 in 1990 & legit thought i died & went to heaven every time i heard this song back then... good times...
I was ten in 1990, I’m 41 this year. They done make them like this anymore
Cause we have good taste in music, that's why!
Timeless classic! They don’t make them like they used to!
Oh Yeah, Pure Ectasy, Love, Sadness, Tears, Humanitarian
Melancholy..
Chkhito sheer vapidity
Such beautiful music... Bliss.... We used to listen to this the morning after the long night..... When you'd music overload and needed to be levelled out... This was it
@Aléxandros ho Mégas what comment?
Alex ho is ignorant & don't say anything to me again.Your suppose to talk about the song not insult the song & me. Understand!
There is still decent music being made but...
Nobody can make tune of this quality ....it’s like all the best tunes have already been made ...peace to you all xx
O my god love this tune 🥰 brings back the good old days 😵💫
One of my all time FAVORITES! Ahead of its' time, timeless and unforgettable. I cannot watch a sunrise without it coming to bless my memory and touch my soul.
I cannot believe this song only peaked at no. 26 in UK charts. It's a positive feel good relaxing tune........should have been in top 10/5 at least.
Yeah totally agree... However, that gap made it special and detached from the mainstream

@@aidystunez8060 Detached how when it was in the top 30, if it had been an indie hit then yeah could see where you was coming from!
Least it was a hit and not a flop, imagine if it got to number 58 on the charts!
A lovely mellow come down tune before the ambient for those that remember back in days gone by.

WOW A FANTASTIC SONG FROM THE BELOVED THEIR MUSIC IS SO PEACEFUL AND ANGELIC ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Brilliant track. A classic. Still, sounds contemporary today! Haunting. Reminds of youthful love, sadly unfulfilled.
Absolute masterclass loved it when it arrived 30 years ago!!!.Still a huge track today. Soo good🎵🎵🎵🎵
What a song a 90s classic raver but love all kinds of music I'm part of a music oriented family. I took .my mother .to see simpleminds live in concert .she was 64 .at the time

Perfection!
thank you for all off that this song gets straight to the point inside and out back and forth
Still sounds current 32 years later.
Total artistry- simplicity and gentleness, provocative in the subtlest of ways. It would be incredible to trip to.
A truly incredible group who I listen to constantly. Beautiful music which is timeless.
Omg. Spain 1990, precious memories, precious friends x

Bought Happiness in 1990..this and Mixed Up by the Cure were two brilliant albums
Totally agree!
Love this tune, pure quality classic, gonna miss this when I'm in a box, big up thumbs up who loves this, Lovely Bubbly Jubbly!
This is a really nice tune and I agree that this music was ahead of its time. Definitely dig house music!
Gosh I was in Ibiza when this came out and it brings back memories of being totally happy at sunrise sitting outside cafe del mar 😎😳❤️
I heard this song back in 1990 over 30 freaking years ago!!! And I play this in my cars sound system every chance I have - Loud!! Unique sound baby!! ❤😂
Beautiful and elegant, gentleness and tragedy, like an invitation to contemplate life and welcome the sun.

The beginning of a fantastic decade of music where I became a teenager 10 years too late! (Strict upbringing) Forever grateful for the soundtrack to my freedom
Better late than never
YO! I LOVE this tune! One of my top 3 all time favorite songs in my lifetime. Thank you Beloved for this masterpiece
Just wondering what were the other two
@@Laurengreenkat Proluctors - Sunset
Aly & Fila - Still (Jorn Van Deynhoven Mix)
Hi thank you. Have not heard of these. But will listen to them 😀
One of the greatest downtempo songs ever made. Love the angelic melodies and pad synth. Better song than "Sweet Harmony" which many people know due to the nudity. Makes me nostalgic for Sunday mornings on MTV Dance UK.
Goosebumps a plenty listening to this fabulous tune.
I was only 2 when this come out but this tune is a classic, should have millions of views.
Luxusná nadčasová vec ,každý deň ju musím minimálne raz počuť, pripomína mi z tých čias skupinu Eskimos &Egypt
Timeless classic, love it ! Can even remember what I was doing when this tune was out 😀
Epic! Memory of this classic is Summer of 89 in a Blackburn warehouse party with this playing as the shutters came up 🙏🙌! At Unit 7 in my opinion.
Any other 52 yr old party people able to confirm ??
51 now and I WAS THERE ( not Blackburn sadly😢 ) best days of my life, we had it good mate . 🙂🙂
God this brings back great memories 😆 acid, chill out tents and plenty of pot after a cracking weekender. Oh to be young again. Great times.
Such an under celebrated band. Reminds me of my younger days when I was at school (I was 13). I would love to go back there for a bit. Miss it.
Met my husband in 89, this was our tune
Also me. Met hubby in 1989 don't know how we survived the race scene
OMG. This was the anthem of 1989! I was 20 years old, lol
One of my go to bands...their music stays the course of time. Brilliant.
This is ART

My favorite The Beloved song....... greetings of Peru..
Another classic from The Beloved
I think this has to be my favourite tune of all time.
If you're still out there Jon let us know what you're up to. Immense times: Happiness and Conscience were my two constant companions on my journey through the early 90s. Cheers pal.
I have put this in my funeral package. Absolutely my favourite song .
Thank's for your Energy throughout ✨️ Music 🎶 is The MEDICINE 💊
Takes me back 2 the great times 👍❤️💙🙌🙌🙌💃💃💃 always have loved his voice & what a hunk 👍💙💯💯💯
This was my wake up music after many a summer rave. Just sitting there in the morning watching the sunrise to this was my idea of heaven. ❤
A timeless masterpiece...
A truly wonderful/memorable tune, from a wonderful/memorable period for music, the 1980s. Songs like this just never age.
Ahead of its time, fantastic video too. A golden oldie
i looked for this tune for years never knew it was the beloved band
They did it. Many have tried and many have failed. They preserved something in amber. This song will be heard as long as music is played.
Such a banger...works as both a dance tune or as a chilled one to come down to. 1 of the best house tunes EVER ❤
Who's in 2024 Sweet Harmony 🙏💖 The Gospel of Maria de Magdala Amen 🙏
This takes me back in time.
This 808 sound is amazing!
Played this today, perfect song for the summer solstice 2021
Remember hearing this in the late 80s early 90s and Remember how fresh and different it sounded and it still sounds the same today, its a song that never gets old and the bass line is and vocals are pure perfection....
the music style of. beloved is special and beatiful. soft and melodic music🙏
This is just beautiful ❤️,the reason now we all appreciate beautiful serenity x
Happiness is a great album, brought it on vinyl recently
I remember hearing this for the first time in a bar back in 2013. It was a really hot day and I was having the time of my life... whilst trying to Shazam this song before it ended
