When this was released life was so much better. Raves to go to, people to meet, memories to be made. I'm 50 now and I want to go back and do it all over again. I can't be the only one.
Yes, it's a pretty solid track, isn't it? I was just thinking to myself - "This is where it really started. Look, I get it... Blue Monday came first, but this is the true start point..."
70 ? ok where is the problem ^^ you had 20 like me :) i'm 45 and yes like you say : this tune ignite me for sure i remember the first time earin this ...yup my teenage period ! a 1977 boy Grettings from Belgium :)
Yeah, our era, right? I'm 47, after some orientation Acid House was a big thing, Baby Ford my hero. This song he was awesome and more on the mainstream side. Then I like Prodigy etc., XL recordings. Then there was WARP. Lfo, RDJ, Ae, that was a revolution. I love to remember good old times. But today is still awesome. Always find new music hypes. Classical music, but e.g. today I love Khruangbin or Ic3peak. At home in many genres. For the IDM heroes, Ae are still solid.
47 male UK, loved this track with my then girlfriend, 2 wives and 5 children later, I shoulda listen to the whole 'solitary brother' message, ha! Best wishes to all the old codgers in this thread :)
I told people the same thing. This song is so underrated, saying that it's ahead of this time would be considered an criminally understatement. It was made in 1989 and it's been that great for over 3 decades and still counting.
I’ll never forget hearing this the first time on TOTP. Adamski’s masterful minimalist soundtrack combined with Seal’s passionate vocals? It was a game changing moment. These few years were such a golden time of artists who would never have been considered for airplay before, and I just bloody glad I’m old enough to say I was there! Soundtrack to a tragically and beautifully misspent youth. Just as we all intended in those days.
First time I heard this it was when I bought the 'Much Music X-Tendamix Dance Mix '92' compilation because I wanted the song "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited (I was 11 years old). lol And I still love this track and blast all the euro music I used to buy in Toronto. Music back then was seriously amazing!! Biggest inspiration to my music I create now a days.
I was just 16 years old when this was in the UK Pop Charts; I had just moved into a residential college for the disabled in September 1990 when I first heard this, it reminds me of that period; wish I could go back in time.
30+ years old and still sounding futuristic. It was regarded as being more commercial dance-pop at the time for many, because it charted and featured a proper singer (lol) but playing it back today, those 808/909 drums hit as hard as any underground acid-house tune of the time. The piano is killer, as are the vocals. It really can't be faulted.
I have listened to it countless times right from its inception but truly I didn't hear it, today when I listened I finally heard and felt all the elements coming together in unison, it still sounds fresh 3 decades later.
June 2020...Now I'm 46 years old and when I close my eyes, I feel like I was a teenager. Then I open my eyes and look in the mirror... My face has gotten older, but the laughter in my eyes, when I hear the music of that time, is the same that I had as a teenager. I'm too 💯%sure it's YOUR THING! In our hearts we have ALL remained young ♥. A lot of love and hugs to all who read this, send you my like-minded, Mara Rooney from Austria 🇦🇹 🤗 😘 🤗 ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ 🤗 😘 🤗 EDIT: Wow, it's Saturday the 22nd of january 2022 and I am very happy about all your likes and all your kind comments. It's a pity that I can't talk to each and every one of you personally. But I would be very happy if you write me here from time to time how you are currently doing, what you are doing and what music you are listening to. A lot of kisses 😘 and hugs 🤗 for all of you! 😍 😘 Your Mara
I’m 19 found this track on a vinyl i got from my dad and i cant stop playing this song, it brings a vibe i cant feel from music nowadays. Now i cant cook and clean without it :)
You are great...have a great taste in music...I heard it in 1991 in all shops around London ( loud)....nobody plays any music these days....I loved it and still do!
I sense your feeling nostalgia and you wasn’t around the time majority of us were shaking it to this tune in the clubs you would have liked those days life was simple compared to now
I'm 58 and God I love this song, I'm a 80s person TBH, but the 90s were amazing and awesome. Both 80s and 90s brings me back to the clubs and pub life ❤️❤️❤️
80s and 90s - when You have to be musician, You had to have talent. Even on the pop/dance stage, everybody knew how to sing, play, the had knowledge about music. This was giving QUALITY. Now, money is enough and You can be on every each radio. Even if You have no voice, no music skills, nothing. This why this modern so called music will be quickly forgotten, when 80s, 90s will stay forever.
I liked this when it was out , I'm now 41 and love it more than ever. 90,s where such carefree , fun time to be alive. Ppl got on at events. Not like these days where ppl are bieng thrown in the face of clubbers on the dance floor. Glad I'm not a teenager these days.
Just dropping in again in February 2024. It’s still totally awesome! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this tune. Seal is magnificent. 😍 this will never be surpassed.
I remember listening to the bbc top 40, outside having beers with my mates on a warm sunday evening in May 1990, when Adamski hit No. 1. I bought the 7" single, the next day. I wanted the 12", but could not afford it! I was 16 years old. I still have it in the attic! My son laughs at these records, but money cannot buy good memories of teenage years. I was into dance music big time. Inner City, Nenah Cherry, Blackbox etc was my fix. Good times!
Drago mi je što još ima onih koji se sječaju vremena u kojem se cijenilo sve što je sa stilom , originalnošču i magično ljepo . Samo sječanje na takve pjesme nas dovode do boljitka u kvaliteti života .
One of my favourite tracks ever. Bought the mini CD when I was 19 in 1990. Even with a crap system this sounded good! So clean. Uplifting, inspiring, spiritual.
What a simply magical song, Seals soulful vocals juxtaposed against the unique hard beat and melody works like nothing I’ve ever heard. Plus brings back memories of youth, sigh
This and World in Motion are the sounds of the best summer ever for music, football and fashion! Don't forget James, The Charlatans, Stone Roses, Inspiral carpets...F'kinhell, what a time to be alive and to be young!
Real clever on-beat / off-beat switch in this hook. In the first bar, the bass notes hit with the bass drum. Then it does a little "shuffle" at the end of the bar and then it's alternating bass drum and bass notes in the second bar. The "shuffle", though, from the on-beat to off-beat is a clever little delay (supported by percussion to help disguise the switch), so you kind of don't notice the switch take place. The on-beat - on the one - gives you impact. The alternating off-beat gives you forward motion, like it's leading you into the next on-beat... on the one. This is actually very much a funk-like rhythm, to exploit the off-beat but come back to be "on the one" - but expressed in an electronic style. That's really "the secret sauce" of this choon, lads.
its a great track,i love adamskis music but not ahead of its time ,there were alot more progressive and more underground tracks at the the time ,but this did have a pop feel to it and he was a great live performer ,one of the best at the time i would say.
@@carolinegunn2578 , wrong. Adamski is a play on Adam's name, he was a solo artist and this WAS a collaboration with Seal. I had the 45" in 1990 and it clearly stated ADAMSKI featuring SEAL on the sleeve. It is indelibly marked on my brain as it was number one when I had my first baby.
Every part of this tune each loop and break etc The production is immaculate The builds are more relevant now than ever...... This was about 20 years ahead of its time...... seals voice is perfect...adamski is on fire!
Its 3am the air is thick with smoke golden scans and strobes the rooms boiling and your peaking hard ,the bass is pulverising you into oblivion your young your beautiful and theres a tribal feeling of euphoria. Its 1990 and im 18
U just left out my reebok princess boots now called workout glowing up under the fleresentlight n the fact that it was so good there that even if we did notice we didn't care getting everyone's sweat dripping on us from the ceiling 😅😅😂🤣...OMG happy times ❤
The intelligence, the taste, the message... Who will ever say it's just a dance track?.. Wow what an amazing song. Still brings the tears in my eyes. I think these guys nailed some most deep human emotions so this track will be relevant forever.
A timeless rave classic, these producers are the modern day composers as they add and blend layer upon layer of samples both harmonically and seamlessly.
1990 was a great year for dance. This is timeless. Along with mantronix got to have your love which charted early 1990 in uk . Absolute ‘killer’ bass line on both tracks and still are banging today tomorrow next year forever…….

Erm well to give them their dues, the last few years have seen a few existential indie-dance hits get to number 1. 'Prayer in C', 'Are You With Me' and 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza' to name a few. 'Prayer in C' I'd say was pretty nuanced.
Me too! Im 54, and I thought the 80s were great! But this track from the 90s was a classic. I wish I could go back to my youth. People say thats not being grown up and mature, but I dont see it that way. It can honestly say it was the happiest Ive ever been 😊
M6/M61/M62/M63/M66 driving - well passenger - in other people's cars... Those Londoners just had to deal with one: The M25. Music and times. BEST! M55 occasionally! They were good.
Wow, ich muss sagen, dieses Lied ist immer noch eins meiner top ten. Unglaublich aber einfach genial. Auch die Version von George Michael gefällt mir sehr gut. Thank you very much for this wonderful song!
This soundtrack is iconic. I don't think people in this era of genres have grasp the concept of the combination of its lyrics, video & instrumental. When Adamski did this remix with Seal, I knew it was going to get nominated.🏆
So I read that this song came out before Seal’s first album, it preceded Seal’s version. Yes Seal co-wrote it with Adamski and sang on it and consequently its success propelled his career. So it’s not a remake.
@@sassenachdragon Yes, I remember also. This came out first. I'd never heard of either and it effin blew all of us away. Music could still do that, back then. It sounded like the future and still kind of does. Nobody wants to know about the future any more. We all cower and shake in fear.
An absolute masterpiece.They'll be playing this on UA-cam and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : ) November 20th 2023.
La escuche hace 30 años, Sigue con la misma fuerza, con un subidon de energia positiva cada vez. Por otro lado, me invade la nostàlgia de una época pasada maravillosa e irrepetible.
One of the best 'early' dance tunes.. ever..that came out of the British Isles! Timeless and will be listened to by our great great great grandchildren. A message that still rings true today...
Still a great song! Back then (and still now) I was and am a sucker for any kind of electronic music (any genre as well) and this one was and still is one of my favourites.
Was honored to be in the tiny tea tent at glastonbury in the early 90s, listening to some dude quietly jamming away on the guitar, low and behold it was Adamski.. Amazing!
I saw Adamski live in London with then nobody “seal”.. I saw him perform again in NYC. Palladium club no seal but Adamski played this tune … awesome days of dance !!! Wait did I give away my age? 😂😂😂😂
There is simply no other song in the world, that impressed me more than this one, the first time I heard it. I was literally blown away, and I couldn't stop thinking about it all day long. It felt like being in love.
Yeah, it was kind of stunning. And brave - the lyrics, man. Seal was like this soul alien and Adamski, a wunderkind wizard and both live on a spaceship going Lord knows where. I think we all miss this era.
Remembering my local in 1990, very tough place. Imagine a bar with at least 50 football hooligans, but mixed between Bristol Rovers and city. Unheard of anywhere else. All top lads with each other's backs...why because it was a port village and tomorrow there might be two of 3 ships from the far East, or 200 royal navy sailors or both together looking for a fight...this blasting out and it's half dark...good times
Люблю эту песню. Впервые услышала её в исполнении Джорджа Майкла. До сих пор слушаю с удовольствием, как и большинство песен из детства и юности... Ностальгия...
British House music producer Adamski recorded an instrumental called 'Killer' in 1990 and he decided to look for a singer to front it. The singer he hired was a pre-famous Seal, although he wasn't credited on the single. Seal wrote his own lyrics, and despite the fact that "Killer" doesn't appear in the lyrics and the words make no hint of it either, Adamski decided to retain the original title. Adamski said in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I met him in a club where he approached me to tell me he was a singer. Just hearing the things he was talking about, I thought he was brilliant, so I became friends with him. He wrote the lyrics to the song and then recorded it in one take." ..Seal blossomed whilst Adamski faded away
Happens a lot in music, particularly with instrumental artists. As for the lyrical thing that also happens a fair bit, sometimes the vocalist will base their lyrics around the title of the song and sometimes they won't. Ghosts'N'Stuff by deadmau5 is another example I can think of where the lyrics have nothing to do with the title due to the instrumentals being made well before the thought of including a vocalist had even occurred.
Truth be known Adamski fried himself on drugs and no label wanted to deal with him shame as he was the best electronic artist at the time setting a standard for likes of Prodigy!
Adamski took too many of the old E's. Fucked his head up but no denying it.... He was a talented producer and that bassline hook is up there with the best electronic or otherwise!
Had this song on my mind for so long. I knew I’d found it one day and without even looking for it anymore that’s when I find it. Life’s full of beautiful surprise keep the faith ❤
What a track. Remember being there when this track came out. What a great start to the 90s one of the best tracks too in that decade and still is today.
Adamski and Seal - lethal combination of music, important message, voice and creative genius. I adore this track and admire these two talented individuals. The message , sadly, is still relevant today and I am not sure on how far we have progressed. The track has a personal and almost pleading aspect to how we treat those in our society who are not white and it really resonates. Creativity at its best and just amazing music. Seal became a favourite in our house after this as well ( I was 14 when it came out) and bowled over by the fact people coukd create music like this.
So you want to be free? To live your life the way you wanna be Will you give if we cry? Will we live or will we die? Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister is there still a part of you that wants to give? If we try and live your lives the way you wanna be yeah Tainted hearts heal with time Shoot that love so we can stop the end Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister is there still a part of you that wants to give? If we try and live your lives the way you wanna be yeah Solitary brother Is there still a part of you that wants to live? Solitary sister is there still a part of you that wants to give? (x3) Racism in among future kings can only lead to no good besides all our sons and daughters already know how that feels yeah yeah yeah yeah
Seals voice and this track, it's just wonderful. All credit to Adamski tho, he picked the perfect singer and this made Seals career. A 360 degree winner.
Can't believe this song is 30 years old! And this was number one song the day i was born! :D This is my jam from now on, a pity i discover this just now! Thanks quarantine!! :/

Forever young !!
Who still listening in 2020? I’m 53 and still have so much love for this sort of music and the era I love to remember in my life
49...same for me. It recalls memories of disco, dancing and no worries. I still love the music I used to dance in late 80s-early 90s
Yeah, our era, right? I'm 47, after some orientation Acid House was a big thing, Baby Ford my hero. This song he was awesome and more on the mainstream side. Then I like Prodigy etc., XL recordings.

Such a timeless rave masterpiece. Still sounds incredible in 2023
A musthave ..for the dancefloor!🦩

Hi!!!2023❤🎼🎼👽🌌
Never tire of hearing this brilliant song. One of the best from 1990 in my opinion.

What a summer. Italia ‘90, with this, Pavarotti and New Order an perfect soundtrack

so many tracks you need to find you do ............... may the force be with you young Padawan learner !
60s, 70s, 80s 90s and some early 00s are way better than what is put out today. Even the covers of today are just crap!
I sense your feeling nostalgia and you wasn’t around the time majority of us were shaking it to this tune in the clubs you would have liked those days life was simple compared to now
ddad n us us oldies??? lobe you for it, please never lrt it die!!! 1 love, no lube ;)
When I saw that on TV I was amazed . And now that tune is one of my favorites, more than 30 years ago
This tune was way before its time. Never ages.
And better than George michael Version !
right in the time - 90s
How was it before its time? It's time was 1990. Or before? Or supposed to be release in 1991 and in 1990 it was before its time? Please elaborate.
@@MinekEzQMthey meant to say its sound was ahead of its time, like it could have been released in later times and would still sound have current
If it's ageless then it can never be linked to time😎😎
Seal has a very warm and soulful voice. That, set against Adamski”s hard beating electronic backdrop, is just magic.
This song will never age in my opinion
Every time I hear it I crank the volume up, it’s a classic you can’t help but love
❤❤
Cranking up the volume I do that too classic tune.
I would like to hear it with a different combination of modernized trance beats with the rest intact.
I'm 58 and God I love this song, I'm a 80s person TBH, but the 90s were amazing and awesome. Both 80s and 90s brings me back to the clubs and pub life ❤️❤️❤️
yes yes papa and i am 53 ,
I’m 43 and this song is ageless!

I'm 38 in 2021; my mom introduced me to this music. Some incredible samples used in it. Adamski and Seal made a timeless track.
No samples on this you mean a secquencer
This track is where the Roland TR-909 drum computer really shines. All the percussive sounds are from that machine and sound really fat in this tune.
@@RutgerVos exactly and the sq-80
lol millenials always saying how old they are on other generation's videos
909 + SQ-80... no samples, mate!
Fantastic song that touches the soul and always will. Seal is as nice a bloke as you could ever meet, and his voice is a rare talent.
I was 14 years old when this came out and I loved it. Now I am 46 and I still dance trough my room when I hear it. Still a banger 👍🏻❤️
love you
Yup i was 13 ^^ summer 1990 i was in Algeria

Haha Minouche my cat is top of the subwoofer he like the bass !!!
I was 14 too ,46 now . Loved this song and still do . Life was good back then .. greetings from Malta

Just dropping in again in February 2024. It’s still totally awesome! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love this tune. Seal is magnificent. 😍 this will never be surpassed.

What a simply magical song, Seals soulful vocals juxtaposed against the unique hard beat and melody works like nothing I’ve ever heard. Plus brings back memories of youth, sigh
This, as well as Yazoo, with Alison Moyet’s bluesy voice set to Vince Clarke’s epic synth beats.
45yrs old & still loving the bass. Music is our own mental time machine.
Killer drumbeat and hypnotic piano sequence. As fresh as a Spring tulip, year after year.
not to forget vocals!
'killer' indeed 🙂
This and World in Motion are the sounds of the best summer ever for music, football and fashion! Don't forget James, The Charlatans, Stone Roses, Inspiral carpets...F'kinhell, what a time to be alive and to be young!

This is actually very much a funk-like rhythm, to exploit the off-beat but come back to be "on the one" - but expressed in an electronic style.
That's really "the secret sauce" of this choon, lads.
Love Seal and his special and unique voice. And the collaboration with Adamski. Wow! And this track is way ahead of its time...
its a great track,i love adamskis music but not ahead of its time ,there were alot more progressive and more underground tracks at the the time ,but this did have a pop feel to it and he was a great live performer ,one of the best at the time i would say.
I think it was of it's time, whereas many other songs/groups not up the artistic challenge, just quick fluff.
It wasnt a collaboration. They were a 2 man group. Seal didnt exist as a solo artist until he ledt this group later on

@@carolinegunn2578 , wrong. Adamski is a play on Adam's name, he was a solo artist and this WAS a collaboration with Seal. I had the 45" in 1990 and it clearly stated ADAMSKI featuring SEAL on the sleeve. It is indelibly marked on my brain as it was number one when I had my first baby.
Every part of this tune each loop and break etc
The production is immaculate
The builds are more relevant now than ever......
This was about 20 years ahead of its time...... seals voice is perfect...adamski is on fire!
I think it was more than 20 years, way the bassline works with different parts is still a bit ahead of time
Voice SEAL
❤❤❤❤❤❤ wie zou er niet meer 15 jaar willen zijn en DANSEN, the 80 'muziek......
Great song! The tribute from George Michael to this song was sublime...
Its 3am the air is thick with smoke golden scans and strobes the rooms boiling and your peaking hard ,the bass is pulverising you into oblivion your young your beautiful and theres a tribal feeling of euphoria.
Its 1990 and im 18
Well that made me rush 😅😅😅❤️
Also I was 17. Just 😘🤌🏻
U just left out my reebok princess boots now called workout glowing up under the fleresentlight n the fact that it was so good there that even if we did notice we didn't care getting everyone's sweat dripping on us from the ceiling 😅😅😂🤣...OMG happy times ❤
The intelligence, the taste, the message... Who will ever say it's just a dance track?.. Wow what an amazing song. Still brings the tears in my eyes. I think these guys nailed some most deep human emotions so this track will be relevant forever.
Definitely
A timeless rave classic, these producers are the modern day composers as they add and blend layer upon layer of samples both harmonically and seamlessly.
1990 was a great year for dance. This is timeless. Along with mantronix got to have your love which charted early 1990 in uk . Absolute ‘killer’ bass line on both tracks and still are banging today tomorrow next year forever…….

WHAT A YEAR!
The 80s and early 90s were really the only time when you could take the charts with some epic existential anthems.
mobbaddict they dont make music like that anymore
Erm well to give them their dues, the last few years have seen a few existential indie-dance hits get to number 1. 'Prayer in C', 'Are You With Me' and 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza' to name a few. 'Prayer in C' I'd say was pretty nuanced.
Very true ,unlike the crap now
@@francofan100 Terrible examples. I doubt that any of the three songs you mentioned will be remembered like Adamski & Seal - killer in thirty years.
I was born in 1988 lol. Love 90's bangers. Grew up with legendary songs like this! N-trance is another example.
SEAL ! my youth, i'm 50 now :) That time when just a 909 and a bassline did the job........ and one of the greatest singers ever!
Me too! Im 54, and I thought the 80s were great! But this track from the 90s was a classic. I wish I could go back to my youth. People say thats not being grown up and mature, but I dont see it that way. It can honestly say it was the happiest Ive ever been 😊
I'm 46 and still love this music too...takes me right back 😍
Me too and I'm the same age. You don't make 'em like this anymore.
me too
@Christine Ccolgate 44 just behind you.
M6/M61/M62/M63/M66 driving - well passenger - in other people's cars...
Those Londoners just had to deal with one: The M25.
Music and times. BEST!
M55 occasionally! They were good.
Me too, and I am 58!
Wow, ich muss sagen, dieses Lied ist immer noch eins meiner top ten. Unglaublich aber einfach genial. Auch die Version von George Michael gefällt mir sehr gut. Thank you very much for this wonderful song!

This soundtrack is iconic. I don't think people in this era of genres have grasp the concept of the combination of its lyrics, video & instrumental. When Adamski did this remix with Seal, I knew it was going to get nominated.🏆
So I read that this song came out before Seal’s first album, it preceded Seal’s version. Yes Seal co-wrote it with Adamski and sang on it and consequently its success propelled his career. So it’s not a remake.
@@sassenachdragon Yes, I remember also. This came out first. I'd never heard of either and it effin blew all of us away. Music could still do that, back then. It sounded like the future and still kind of does. Nobody wants to know about the future any more. We all cower and shake in fear.
The fabulous Adamski is still very actively making wonderful music and his new creation/ alter ego, the cyberbilly Sonny Ericsson, is just superb.
This song is 30 years old now and it's still cool! It was so ahead of its time back then. B-)
I don't think it was ahead of its time it was just a great song and still is
It's stood the test of time.
i lived it :) it was not 'ahead' it is just that today's music pales in comparison :-)

@Khristianskiy Zakon we can agree to disagree
An absolute masterpiece.They'll be playing this on UA-cam and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : ) November 20th 2023.
1st heard this in 1990 in a Nightclub called The Underground in Rhodes and it still sounds great in 2023
La escuche hace 30 años, Sigue con la misma fuerza, con un subidon de energia positiva cada vez.
Por otro lado, me invade la nostàlgia de una época pasada maravillosa e irrepetible.
Comparto totalmente tus dos comentarios, amigo ...
RIP Benny Harvey, miss u big man x
That song is connecting 80's and 90"s perfectly. Really good sound.
Beautiful. Many happy memories flooding back. ❤❤❤
One of the best 'early' dance tunes.. ever..that came out of the British Isles! Timeless and will be listened to by our great great great grandchildren. A message that still rings true today...
This song is 30 year old. Absolute classic. Well desiverd to be number one in the charts. Great clubbing days.
One of the very best songs ever recorded. I’m sure it still gets better with every listen even 30 years on. Amazing tune.
Still a great song! Back then (and still now) I was and am a sucker for any kind of electronic music (any genre as well) and this one was and still is one of my favourites.
Takes me back, great song. The album is really great.
Still sounds fresh, still a classic and still better than any generic over produced music from the past 10 years. Fact.
Was honored to be in the tiny tea tent at glastonbury in the early 90s, listening to some dude quietly jamming away on the guitar, low and behold it was Adamski.. Amazing!
I saw Adamski live in London with then nobody “seal”.. I saw him perform again in NYC. Palladium club no seal but Adamski played this tune … awesome days of dance !!! Wait did I give away my age? 😂😂😂😂
There is simply no other song in the world, that impressed me more than this one, the first time I heard it. I was literally blown away, and I couldn't stop thinking about it all day long. It felt like being in love.
If you were "literally" blown away, how are you still alive?
Yeah, it was kind of stunning. And brave - the lyrics, man. Seal was like this soul alien and Adamski, a wunderkind wizard and both live on a spaceship going Lord knows where. I think we all miss this era.
Fantastic is all can be said. What a track. Never dated and still sounds fresh. Makes your body come alive every time you hear this. Beautiful.
Best song ever
Steve Reeves
Yeah got to agree it’s one of them songs that just don’t age and sounds fantastic every time you hear it.

Still a corker of a tune with Seal's unique vocals! Love the song just as much today at 58, as I did in 1990...
This a timeless hit. Adamski and Seal for a song of the ages
Remember when songs like this used to get to number 1? What a great era that was
Who listenning in November 2024
I found it via google voice humming haha
its december
listening in DEC 2024
Remembering my local in 1990, very tough place. Imagine a bar with at least 50 football hooligans, but mixed between Bristol Rovers and city. Unheard of anywhere else. All top lads with each other's backs...why because it was a port village and tomorrow there might be two of 3 ships from the far East, or 200 royal navy sailors or both together looking for a fight...this blasting out and it's half dark...good times
me
How good does this still sound. Never gonna complain about living through this epic era.
Superb. Seal has a great voice. Matt the Siouxsie fan
Люблю эту песню. Впервые услышала её в исполнении Джорджа Майкла. До сих пор слушаю с удовольствием, как и большинство песен из детства и юности... Ностальгия...
we didn't know it back then, but the vibe from this song was gonna live forever
British House music producer Adamski recorded an instrumental called 'Killer' in 1990 and he decided to look for a singer to front it. The singer he hired was a pre-famous Seal, although he wasn't credited on the single. Seal wrote his own lyrics, and despite the fact that "Killer" doesn't appear in the lyrics and the words make no hint of it either, Adamski decided to retain the original title. Adamski said in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I met him in a club where he approached me to tell me he was a singer. Just hearing the things he was talking about, I thought he was brilliant, so I became friends with him. He wrote the lyrics to the song and then recorded it in one take." ..Seal blossomed whilst Adamski faded away
Happens a lot in music, particularly with instrumental artists. As for the lyrical thing that also happens a fair bit, sometimes the vocalist will base their lyrics around the title of the song and sometimes they won't. Ghosts'N'Stuff by deadmau5 is another example I can think of where the lyrics have nothing to do with the title due to the instrumentals being made well before the thought of including a vocalist had even occurred.
Truth be known Adamski fried himself on drugs and no label wanted to deal with him shame as he was the best electronic artist at the time setting a standard for likes of Prodigy!
Adamski took too many of the old E's. Fucked his head up but no denying it.... He was a talented producer and that bassline hook is up there with the best electronic or otherwise!
Adamski? very british name ;)
@@bryanjones5065 Was it all The Shamen's fault for saying 'E's are good' in one of their songs?!
This Is A Music Masterpiece In Every Single Way.
R. I. P Adamski. 🙏
Actually, Adamski is still alive and well.
@@Aquais97 And his name is SEAL
Remember this when i was a youngster.49 now and still love this and the 90's stuff.Best times
I am 58... Still remember those great times at the club dancing to this music
Brilliant video. What an entrance Seal made into our landscape, that first multiple headshot
Музыка моей молодости. ) Всё-таки тогда музыка была лучше, чем сейчас.
И телочки давали?
@@Arturo124когда дебилу ничего путного в башку с вакуумом не поместилось😡
This song just came into my head for no reason. Great song.
Had this song on my mind for so long. I knew I’d found it one day and without even looking for it anymore that’s when I find it. Life’s full of beautiful surprise keep the faith ❤
Very futuristic and before it's time this video and chune 💜🎧🎶🎵💃🏿
Офигеть! Всегда думал, что это Джордж Майкл запилил такую офигенную тему. И я только сейчас увидел оригинал... Бывает же такое! Отличный трек!
Тоже только сейчас на 36 году своей жизни узнал об этом. Оверол, для меня версия Джоджа Майкла посильнее кажется.
No Autotune!!! ❤
Right up there with Mozart and Beethoven and all those old guys...a work of genius
One of the greatest tunes to ever top the uk record charts.
Yes Yes yes
UK, always with dance music one step ahead, in the end of the 80 s into the now Adamski Killa---> Chase and starus Baddadan , greetings from Germany
What a track. Remember being there when this track came out. What a great start to the 90s one of the best tracks too in that decade and still is today.

Adamski and Seal - lethal combination of music, important message, voice and creative genius. I adore this track and admire these two talented individuals. The message , sadly, is still relevant today and I am not sure on how far we have progressed. The track has a personal and almost pleading aspect to how we treat those in our society who are not white and it really resonates. Creativity at its best and just amazing music. Seal became a favourite in our house after this as well ( I was 14 when it came out) and bowled over by the fact people coukd create music like this.
🎵 2024 and still a fucking TUNE!!! 🎵
I love it when UA-cam randomly suggests tracks. This is a banging track i haven't heard in years
I'm nearly 64 at the end of this year & still love this song ,as much as i did, when it first hit the charts ❤
Ouvi muito essa música com minha grande amiga, Tatiana Ismael. Que Deus a tenha a seu lado, minha amada irmã (04/09/74 - 29/12/92)

Seals voice and this track, it's just wonderful. All credit to Adamski tho, he picked the perfect singer and this made Seals career. A 360 degree winner.
Ok I'm 60 now,this is still timeless,loved it then and still do now,Seal,you are up there with the best 😀
I was ten years old when this came out I loved it the first time I heard it I’d play this while on my Sinclair ZX spectrum 128k good memories man.
Can't believe this song is 30 years old! And this was number one song the day i was born! :D This is my jam from now on, a pity i discover this just now! Thanks quarantine!! :/
