I’m 57 and have been listening to George for 43 years, it never gets old and even my grandson likes it thank you George for making music amen god bless
George isn't even 40 yet.
@@foxbasealpha5171 Even more impressive on George's part, if you ask me.
@@foxbasealpha5171 George is 45 this year, not sure what you mean?
your grandson is a poser
Looked a lil older for a teen in this video but still looks exactly the same 30 years later, damn.
So happy an HD version of this has finally been uploaded. All I’ve had was my precious VHS rip for so long.
I had this recorded on my VHS! Crazy to see it has reached the internet!
Fools 😂
My VHS for Gaslighting 101 wore out too
I only had compact cassettes
In my country, his VHS tapes were banned, so I had to listen to his music on pirate radio.
2024 GANG WHERE YOU AT!?
24 Til Infinity🤘🏾
Decades later and this song still hits just as hard. George Clanton is timeless!
💯% Big Facts!
it reminds me of a time in my life when
What
@@Roberto-de8xv What
Ah yes, back in 96 and George was on 3 tours, one solo and the others with Madonna and Seal.
Missing from the credits above - thanks to Adam Kane who also did the colorful visuals you see on the stacks of CRT TVs on either side of the stage.
They look awesome, they're the bow tying the mid-nineties music video aesthetic together.
This video is downright masterful, and the song is fantastic, sonically and lyrically. ♥️
Brilliant work from them; fits very well and enhances the aesthetic you were going for.
Thanks for the sonic art!
Dude. This song is incredible. This is timeless. First time hearing you. This is wild!!
*throws panties on stage*
*is a dude*
🔥 ❤ 🔥
Thoroughly impressed with this track and video, certainly taking things to a new level!!
Really hits the childhood nostalgia feels!
My longtime favorite is that track "Did I Flounder?" with the Tears for Fears 80s/90s vibe, also great emotion!
had my first kiss to this song. Me and sally reed - carved our names into the birch tree down by our old elementary school playground..... years and years and years ago.... thank YOU George. Still together happily married 17 years, 4 beautiful children 2 beautiful golden retrievers.
Sally Reed, the character from the hit show Barry directed by and starring Bill Hader on HBO Max?
@@fruktumkalasbajen9647real for that
Saw him live back in the 90s… wish more music sounded like this today
Same here. Kids just don't know good music.
Yeah man, still got my tickets from that concert in '94
wish i was born in that era to have lived it too :(
saw him during the gaslight tour.
lil ugly mane - Volcanic Bird enemy and the voiced concern is up there, in terms of comparison. TV girl - french exit is as well
That scratchy trip-hop beat and ethereal vocals are just so authentically 90s, love
It's a fantastic rehash, but it's not authentic. From the "VHS" filter switch in the beginning (why not do a proper VHS transfer), to the unnatural way that the vocals sit too far back in the mix (pop singers of the 90s were almost always pushed to the front of the mix, they were the commodity after all), it's all a good facsimile, but it's just that. There are too many nuances to any era that are impossible to authentically replicate.
@@callumgillies9611this guy lol
@@callumgillies9611 The point is never to 100% replicate it though.
@@callumgillies9611It's influenced by the 90s. It isn't THE 90s. It's not that deep.
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e "so authentically 90s, love" just saying it's not that. Influenced by, sure.
I showed this to my mom last night and she legitimately tried to convince both me and herself that she grew up listening to your music. If that isn't a sign you're nailing your aesthetic idk what is!
Mine literally said she heard this song lol. I love this guy
in regards to your profile pic, always nice to see chrono cross fans, lol
@@Fractal_blipno ew
One of the best songs to come out of the 90's, still enthralled 26 years later.
@aofmual for real they can't even gaslight properly. maybe stay off the weed lmfao
I am 65 just qualifed for Medicare and was at this show with my daughter! I love George!
real
god bless you
The production on this is incredible. I was alive for 80s and 90s music on the radio and this hits all the perfect 90s vibes without feeling cheesy and manages to lay some 80s era vocals on top. It's like if you mashed Tears For Fears and a boy band with P. M. Dawn but it came out perfectly baked. Unbelievable work here.
yes sir...
That's very accurate. 😃
This is such a good combo.
definitely get the tears for fears vibes
yep! it takes the best parts of all those songs and artists, then tosses the stuff that made them cheesy and shitty out. dude perfected that whole sound and genre in a single song lol. song transports you instantly to like 97-98. when everything had that silver/blue tone lol definitely nailed the pm dawn vibes too, literal companion piece to die without you.
Those are some of the warmest sounding drum samples I've heard in electronic music in ages. It sounds like it would have been a European #1 hit in 1997.
Black guy here, this song touched me. Don't know why I felt the need to mention my race. I guess because this song (and his music in general) speaks to 90's early 2000's generation. This music was made for us, we are the ones who can truly understand where this music is coming from. You had to be there to get it.
As someone who grew up in the 00’s, this whole vibe from George triggers some latent memories in my brain of TV I must’ve watched when I was a wee lad. Plus I was always into MTV and VH1 where they had whole shows dedicated to 90’s pop culture and music videos that I’d watch every morning before school. I agree with you, made for us!!!❤
Those 90s drumbeats, man.
True story, that's my dad playing keyboards. He still has that Korg M1, though it's a little dusty now. He was a roadie for the Roses and then Candyflip when he wasn't playing with George. Ahhhh, memories.
now THIS is REAL music. These millennials have fine music sure but what George was doing in back in our day is what the kids should really be looking up to! God bless you George Clanton.
way to out yourself as a millennial lmfao
The random dunking a basketball clip was so perfect 🤣
Can you believe George was only 18 when he released this song? So talented at such a young age.
no way
i thought he was just 17? news to me! happy belated birthday george!!!!
He looks so much older
Not in a bad way but in a way where i believed 😮
he is 8 years old like paradise
This is so good. The chorus has been stuck in my head for days!
eeeeey, wassssssup you do gods work man!
Other comment is right. Your dedication through the years does not go unappreciated man
Years, even
This song rocks and so do you , Vapor dude!
Damn, alot of music videos fail at the 90s vibe, but this feels so much more authentic. The aesethetics, the cinematography, editing. This nails early 90s euro-pop just like the song itself.
This vibe haunts me. So damn wistful, like some hazy half-remembered dream or memory from my '90s childhood. The chorus soars. Whole track is just dripping with bittersweet catharsis. 10/10, can't stop replaying it.
It makes me wanna cry bro
Check out Brothertiger too if you like that wistful, ethereal bittersweet nostalgic vibe like you get from Clanton.
"soar" is such a beautiful way to describe that. thank you
I remember hearing this song come on the store radio back in 92' shopping at my local K-Mart. Good times.
George's uncanny ability to channel turn of the century nostalgia will always bring me back, no matter how long it's been since I've listened to his music or how long since his last album. Really a visionary artist and doesn't get the credit he deserves for his influence.
One day. He's extremely underrated. One day the public will find out
Bringing back the real emotion we need in music again!
Totally agree
Is all up from here fellas. Long live Clanton and Neggy Gemmy!
Helps to actually live through the time period. alot of vaporwave artists were posers born after 98 pretending. not that its a bad thing but how can you be nostalgic for a time you weren't apart of? its not nostalgia at that point, its make believe.
I was in Cabo with my wife when this track came out. 26 happy years later and this sound is still cemented in our memory. George always brings lovers together and is the reason I’m a lifelong fan. I hope the band can work out their differences and get back together for one last tour!
What are you talking about? This is a new song! It sounds like something that came out 26 years ago, but it's a new song.
@@tmamone83 It's called humor.
@@_Gilles_ Oh. Well it wasn't a well executed joke.
@@tmamone83 YMMV. Confirming humor functioning as intended.
@@tmamone83 i also think that joke is overused and unfunny
I literally can’t stop replaying this song.
This was the first song my date asked me to dance to at our graduation party. Although we went our separate ways, I now have a beautiful family, and this year, it's my youngest's turn to graduate 🥲
George Clanton is my favourite 90s pop star
after letting this one marinate, this is easily one of Georges best songs
absolutely
@@betterjackson Dj Billybool number one dj in the whole planet man
Love that he addresses themes of regret and coming to terms with those feelings. I’m only 26 but I’m really beginning to reflect on how I’ve wasted alot of my twenties. George Clanton has been the soundtrack to my life since highschool and holds a special place in my heart
It's never too late to make a change!
Dude you didn't waste your 20s
are you me?
How did you waste them?
Bro the pandemic wasted all of our 20s. You’re at a good age right now. Keep enjoying your youth and stay fresh, my dude
I remember when this dropped back when I was 8. My dad had it on one those Music Video countdown lists. It was at #1 for 4 months straight. I'm 52 now and this brings back so many memories from when I discovered George as his ESPRIT persona.
Thank you George, you are truly an engineer at what you do.
My grandma and I used to listen to his records together. Sadly she passed away in 2001 but I remember back when I was in third grade in 1998 hearing this song for the first time it brings back so many memories. Happy to have found it again here.
This is your best work yet, George. I’m 36 and this honestly feels authentic to my childhood growing up in Europe. This track is not a pastiche, nor a simulacra, it feels real. Not sure how you did it, but fair play to you.
I think the key is simply being an actual fan of the style of music. The reason a lot of throw back songs can feel inauthentic is because the artist just wants a quick copy. "Oooh i want to make a Nirvana sounding song" is gonna come out different than a huge fan of the grunge scene wanting to make grunge revival for example.

Based comment
Thank you. The result of living in your own world listening to almost entirely archival music
This sounds like it came directly from ‘The Beach’ movie soundtrack
I like how it looks and sounds like a hidden gem from 1993!
I was thinking late 90s
@@user-vi4xy1jw7eEarly 90s are more accurate, the beat are similar to Enigma and PM Dawn.
@@Victor_2000s let's meet in the middle. 1995.
@@pinthetailproductions4859 1991-1993 to be exactly.
CLANTON. Masterpiece. Time traveling star.
YES PLEASE TO A FULL ALBUM OF THIS
The flashing 90s imagery is what does it for me , like the basketball hoop scene and that Pepsi can at the end. What a cool ass song. Thanks George for doing cool stuff again , can't wait for the cool colored Vinyl variants!
remember this playing on the last day of 5th grade. It was so warm that day.. me and my brother played around in the sprinklers in our backyard
The most criminally underrated song of all time. This is the anthem of 2023.
We used to listen to this in our Vauxhall Astra coming back from Exeter or Littlecote House or wherever it was that Fantazia had just torn the roof off. In the early morning light speeding down the well-built roads of the UK, everything felt like it was going to be okay. 30 years later, I'm a little older and no wiser, but I still hold onto that hope. Thank you for all the memories!
We don’t search for old songs, we search for old memories
George is on a whole new level
George restores the feeling
i remember finding this on the radio and asking my dad what the song was to post it onto myspace, glad they remastered the video!
I love george clayton
We're all suffering here in 2023 but George is just straight up living his best life decades ago.
I'm not suffering in 2023.
My days as a 90s teenager. Makes me cry.
This track is still so fresh for a song released back in '93! Remember listening to it then, 30 years ago now, and it still holds up today. In fact, you could've told me this was released in 2023 and I would believe you.
so nostalgic, like there was a time that never existed but is still in our hearts.
Hearing this live was top 3 experiences of my life
Me and my friends used to headbang to this back in the 90s. I hope some youngins discover this beautiful song. This generation needs beautiful music ;)
This new album is gonna be extraordinary
fr
Absolutely
Hearing this track, there's glorious anticipation and love
@@JimmyJaxJellyStax trust me, I am Anthony Morris. I am filled with the most anticipation.
And it was. All killer, no filler.
Nostalgia (from nostos-return to home, and algia-longing) is a longing for a home that no longer exists or has never existed.
Congratulations, George, this sounds and looks like a genuine article from a long lost, almost mythical version of the mid to late 90s that never existed yet is remembered by everyone.
Saw George back in 96, man is a legend, hasn’t even aged
George Clanton in 96?
@@jssteele89 yes, i was there too. i'm from 91 but my father (huge clanton fan) took me with him when i was 5, the live show is one of my first memories, i hold it very dearly.
@@funatish (huge clanton fan)
Everyone in the world needs to hear this song
It feels like this song just came out! wow.
Thank you George
It did
@@foxbasealpha5171 it feels like sense of humour just came out!wow.
Thank you Foxbase
I didn't think it was possible to make something sound so 90s, i love it
Dope video, love the 90s vibes
God George has cemented himself as my favorite artist of all time. Literally every song is a masterpiece
I can't believe they finally uploaded the remastered vhs. Quality is insane
So heavy I can’t float!
this song is like the perfect bridge between late 80s madchester and early 00s pop, with everything in between sprinkled in. the music video looks like it was pulled straight from the middle of the 90s. love the effects, especially the tinting.
Only dudes born in the late 80's can make this music.
Young enough to remember it clearly, not old enough to have been "too good" for this kind of stuff. It's like a fusion of boyband music, shoegaze, trip hop, world music etc. It's literally the 90's in single song.
Definetly one of the best songs from the decade so far! ❤
So Glad he made a Remaster! It’s been YEARS since I heard Mr. Clanton!
Had to show my Kids what we listened to back in the days. Haha
Savage Garden vibes, amazing as always
I remember listening to this song so much in the summer of 1995 before my senior year of high school. I wish I could go back. Kids these days just don't know good music.
Amazing!
Filter - "Take A Picture" vibes especially from the congas/bongos lol. God damn there is so much to appreciate here
Okay guys, I'm just gonna flat out say it: George Clanton rock's!!!
Please gimme an album of nothing but these old hits in high quality. Ain’t nuttin like um
This song is blowing up now. Never thought it would given the day one analytics. Thank the stars above it finally is
Just saw George live. Absolutely outstanding. Front row when this song hits is just unreal. What an experience!
Genuinely suprised to not find a "omg i saw him in 93 so cool even though im 15" comment lmao
@@DONKEYKONG260 lol
What in the Backstreet-meets-The-Cure did I just listen to? Must be my new fav song
I really like the way George mixes '90s pop with synthwave and (for lack of a better word) epic orchestral music. The whole thing is just a big nostalgia trip, and he does it with great taste.
Omgosh..I've known his parents forever & his Grandmother Clanton was my teacher..I'm beyond excited for this very talented young man..George, you blew my mind..loved it all..top notch..God continue to bless this gifted young man..I'm a fan
In '96 I saw Clanton in Austin Tx and he surfed the crowd to I Been Young
I wish I was back in 94 so I could hear this song again for the first time.
this is peak 90's MTV and I love it!
this song really hits me, I was so angry when I was 19 now growing older I'm starting to realize my mistakes and the things I've regretted
If you can sort that out now, you'll be ahead of the game. Took me until my mid-30s to get to that point.
@@silverladderAZdefinitely, looking forward this year to become better and a bit wiser, thanks man!! 😁
1:50 gives me 90s to early 2000s rock vibes. It's the framing/filter. You fuckin nailed it George.
I remember back in 93 this was playing in the background at a blockbuster (shows how old I am) and I loved it, so I asked the clerk what song it was. She told me it was one of her favs at the time, I couldn’t find it anywhere so she later just gave me her personal tape. Went on a few dates later to, it didn’t work out but it’s still a great memory. Sampled it in a vaporwave track too that I’ll release later
i am a trilobite and listen to this many time in cesspool in 500000 BCE it best!
This reset my body and mind culturally, physically, and spiritually. Thanks daddy.
George is truly a once in a generation artist. So few people have the skill and raw talent he brings to all his music.
Oh wow, what a blast from the past! My mum had this on tape and used to listen to it on repeat on the way to school.
I’ve had this on repeat since I first heard it. Absolutely transcendent. Thank you
You've been listening to this one song on repeat for the last 22 years? Honestly fair
crying on the dance floor vibes
there's no such thing as perfect but this is a perfect song
This reminds of watching music videos before going to school in the morning. George you absolute legend, what a masterpiece!
The long-awaited return of this great savior of music has made my life make sense again... I don't have a special person to share this with, but I'm still going to enjoy it a lot ❤️🔥🎶😌🎧
Best music video and song I've ever listen
Timeless.. This makes me feel young again, haha. I remember one summer in `94 I was drinking Arnold Palmer driving past the beach and this song came on the radio. I had the windows rolled all the way down, and I mustve seen about 30 windsurfers deep in the beach, way past the awnings and the parasols and the people on the shore.. They looked like they were about to get swallowed by the waves but they were just cruisin` and having fun. will never forget that moment !!
Love from Orlando FL ! xx
Album of the summer coming
this is pop music in its most mystical and shapeless beauty
This song gets better the longer it's on repeat It's just insane. How is it THIS good
I remember seeing this live in Paris back in 97. This song brings back so many memories!
Moi aussi
This sounds so much like a song Seal would record really. Love George
Peak "wandering around aimlessly with your friends in summertime as teenagers" music
i remember waking up in the middle of a weekend night with the TV on and this would be playing in the background. what a time!
This song is a PURE MOOD
I remember when this came out in 1996. It was the summer I got my learners permit. I illegally drove myself to the Dairy Queen on Route 36 and kissed Rachel MacGregor on the lips.
