This brings so much memories. When I was just a young rascal, no worries, no consequences, having fun and getting wasted with my friends. Now I want to believe I am a different and better person, but listening to this song makes me shed a tear for the person I was back then. This shit hits like a truck. Getting old is not easy.
In all due respect, sounds like you could do with some therapy. If your happy childhood memories cause a sense of longing rather than satisfaction, something is missing from your life, or there's some unresolved trauma that makes you romanticise how it used to be. Worth checking out.
You hit the nail on the head there pal. It's not a nice thought knowing we're getting older man. But when he started with the "Take me as I am" set and all the flags going, it was like were teens again 😂❤❤❤❤
What a track. Britain really does produce some talent. Huge shout from the US. Loving The Streets and also other various UK electronica based acts like Faithless, The Prodigy, UNKLE, Aphex Twin, Leftfield, Burial, Underworld, Orbital, Goldie, FSOL, Chemical Brothers, Squarepusher, Stereo Mcs, Massive Attack, The Bug, ALLFLAWS
Holy Hell! I heard this YEARS ago - got it Bluetooth'd to me in secondary school and listened to it all the time. Heard it on Kidulthood a few years later. I haven't heard this song in years. Some belter memories to this song. 😊
Amazing how much these tunes take you back to better days ❤❤❤❤ love him with fred again an dermot kennedy ❤❤ watched him yesterday a 1 yr old click on bbc breakfast stoned where naga muchette had to take over he was giving them nothing 😂😂😂😂 takes me back but christ old 😢😢😢😢
I know this isn't from it, but Original Pirate Material doesn't get enough recognition as one of the greatest british albums of all time. Absolute game changer.
Can not stop listening to 'Darker the Shadow The Brighter The Light' Glad The Streets are back. Can't get enough of the backing singer, he is incredible
First came The Streets, Then Dizzy, and then the whole grime era started. Without The Streets no-one would have made any money. Skinner is music royalty.
First heard this song when I watched Kidulthood. I must've been about 8 or so watching it at a mates house. This song's always had that special feeling/memory of my childhood
So good to see Mike back and in a good place 👍🏻🙌 grew up listening to this when was a bit of a tearaway. Resonates quite well this song and the memories are insane 😂
imagine chilling out smoking a joint at Glastonbury and Mike skinner shouts ‘someone’s smoking cannabis!’ Over the mic 🤣 I don’t know if id love it and die of laughter or absolutely shit myself
He’s on about the hill at the Park Stage where the Glastonbury sign is lol. He knows glasto well and kept going on about meeting everyone at 5am at temple bar in shangrila too 😂
To see the flag waving moment search for The Streets - Take Me As I Am (Glastonbury 2024) its on this same channel but its a new song that why it was cut off, fantastic moment.
My favourite bit was that I didn't even get to go mental or see anyone go mental because he didn't raise his flag. I didn't see anyone going up any hills or anything either.
This was absolutely huge when this dropped back in the day. Still get chills
No it wasn't.
@@AnthonyMonaghan okkkkay bye, funeral at the party.
It's still fucking huge bro
For people who know, how it felt hearing this at the time. they know. 🔥
It was bigger than your sausage @@AnthonyMonaghan😂😂
An absolute British classic. Captures rave / nightlife culture beautifully.
Rave 😂😂😂😂 funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time, clearly haven’t been to rave

instantly reverted to that person whilst there. time was rewound and it was amazing

I disagree, that seems to be a perfectly natural reaction hence the term nostalgia.

I’m with you mate. Life was so much simpler then all my mates none of this crap felt genuinely happily back then, life got so much more complicated

Are you kidding me BBC? You cut it off before he waves the flag??! He spoke about it for 15 minutes then you cut it off...wtf.
In in the next song ua-cam.com/video/ZFtZmFy4Yog/v-deo.htmlsi=WlwboqEkcDf_9seV
Exactly what i thought. BBC are a bunch of wankers
Watch the “Take me as I am” video. It’s shown in the next track.
@@Darragh69 I saw that! Thanks a lot

Yeah it does
Absolutely. It straddles the boundaries
@@Themozartthug also a great album
@@Themozartthug Love a bit of Dizzee
Game changer? OPM saw the most devoted indie kids tear up their skinny jeans and become "urban" (whatever that is)...
Love the Streets. Utterly legendary British performance by Mike there...'I need to get through...'scuse me 'scuse me'.
Makes me think of my first raves on E in the early 2000s, amazing times 🔥
same, and taking party biscuits plus the misery of the days after they wore off. lol.
Caught ya drug addict!
Doves and Mitzies
Don’t make them like that nowadays though
@@forestsunset9617and just come right again for Friday😈✌️
@@retrovin9269 it's a bad cycle hahah
Such a classic song. And what a performance. Deadly stuff.
Can not stop listening to 'Darker the Shadow The Brighter The Light' Glad The Streets are back. Can't get enough of the backing singer, he is incredible
This song takes me back to my teenage years. Feels like a lifetime ago. Still love seeing The Streets perform. Iconic 💕
It’s still awful
Jog on u mug if u don't like it then why u in the comments u clown @@tf2368
Incredible performance
these look well speckled, green and blue.. I feel all fidgety and warm..

Watched this live & have watched it 4 times from start to end since and cried… STUNNING 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 was with The Street’s in 2001 and I’m here now 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
WOW! Classic song!! One of my favorites!
Absolutely love this and they performed it so well, the guy singing the refrain has an amazing voice ❤
Thank you for keeping the spirit alive big up bro from Ireland
Hope you ain't a yellow belly 😂
This song captures being young and daft for me, too many late nights and too many disco burgers, live to tell the tale 👍
Then you grow ☝
Legand i was fkd 1000,s of times on the come down listening to this man who is still alive legand❤
Listening to this on a comedown sounds so depressing
MASTERPIECE
Captures pilling in the club to perfection. 2nd album is a masterpiece!!!
Moje najlepsze lata życia kojarzą mi się z tym wykonawcą, tą muzyką, tym tekstem, the street ❤
Thanks for share 👏🏿👏🏼👏🏽👏🏻👏🙏🏼
Memories... This makes me feel old lol. What a tune 💚
That is such a tune and they performed it so well ❤
I would rather see this one band than all the other artists there put together.
His live gigs are always amazing.
Luv and Peace.
i love the streets.
First heard this song when I watched Kidulthood. I must've been about 8 or so watching it at a mates house. This song's always had that special feeling/memory of my childhood
Legendary. One of my favourite songs from them.
Damn the last drop🔥 brings back lot of memories
One of the best uk songs of all time!
So good to see Mike back and in a good place 👍🏻🙌 grew up listening to this when was a bit of a tearaway. Resonates quite well this song and the memories are insane 😂
Who is the backing singer? That voice is like a hot bath in winter. ❤
OMG he is still so good looking xxxx
I was in a gym with Mike Skinner in 2005 in Australia. I don’t think he’s been since.
😂😂😂😂
Faarkin el , lads been to the fridge after smoko ova the years , ya legend 😊 da streets is always 👌
have you got tourettes?
3:00 big man telling Mike he'll "be fine" after he says he shouldn't have done the second one. It's just the lyrics my guy 😂😂
I have so many fucking chills and tears in my eyes hearing this
f****! memories hit hard with The Streets 🥲
Was absolutely incredible this
Brings back so many memory's
Didn't know my plumber was performing at Glasto?
His dress sense has been like this for years and can't blame him at Glastonbury!! Was a nice sunny wind for a change !! Mike skinner is a legend ❤❤❤
He wasn't.
Is he your plumber?
Fucking quality 😂😂😂
😅😅
SICK. Period
Wait I don't get it... when he waves the streets flag what am I meant to do with my flag?
Think you might have to wave it as well , but not 100% , he should of told us 😂
Wave it 😂
go mental
I was there amazing 😮
I fucking love his energy on the scene. Great performance. Wolud be epic to be there. Chills
This is so sick this was absolutely phenomenal back in the day
Ahhh the good old days/nights 🐻😎
Great performance
Absolute legend ❤
Goosebumps
Love how he's just ad-libbing and messing about. Mike is a straight up G!!
This song is elite. Eternal.
Absolute Beat ❤
We’re going streaking in the quad
Reminds me of that one scene in Kidulthood. So sick
imagine chilling out smoking a joint at Glastonbury and Mike skinner shouts ‘someone’s smoking cannabis!’ Over the mic 🤣 I don’t know if id love it and die of laughter or absolutely shit myself
Music of my misspent youth🎉
if u were listening to this it weren't misspent
Wow. Just wow.
I was there. What was he on about when he kept going on about ‘going up the hill?’
Made me laugh every time but I had no idea what he was on about.
He’s on about the hill at the Park Stage where the Glastonbury sign is lol. He knows glasto well and kept going on about meeting everyone at 5am at temple bar in shangrila too 😂
Cut off the climax …
Please can you tell me who was singing the "blinded by the lights..." refrain. He is phenomenal. ❤
Kevin Mark Trail been in the streets since day one.
Legend !
KeepRightOn 💙 Love The Streets
Yes. Legend 😃
Banger ❤
Soundtrack to my youth
oh the waving flags look awesome!! just amazing!!
class performance👏
Massive fan from a Chinese girl for over 2 decades
Stellar
Capture the flag
He went on and on about the flag throughout the entire song and whatever happened just got cut off in the end!
To see the flag waving moment search for The Streets - Take Me As I Am (Glastonbury 2024)
its on this same channel but its a new song that why it was cut off, fantastic moment.
Amazing song
Unbelievable 🎉
The guy in the croud with pink guitar is a legend of this glasto edition.
Legend 👌
A true artist.
Did he get to wave the flag he mentioned how many times
ua-cam.com/video/ZFtZmFy4Yog/v-deo.htmlsi=NxYzVC40JHu6XKQm
Perfection
we didnt even see him wave the Flag!? talk about buildup with no payoff
Its in the next song ua-cam.com/video/ZFtZmFy4Yog/v-deo.htmlsi=WlwboqEkcDf_9seV
@@deanrhodes1924 well then they should've just posted it as just 1 long video
what flag
Rumour has it he is still waving the flag.
Epic !!!!
the big issue with this is we didn't get to see the ending, all this about seeing the flag and in the end nothing lol
❤ 🎉 O2 academy Birmingham.... U rock
My childhood song 🤪
❤❤❤❤❤
I dont know who qrote for the streets, but it was genius and relevant to the culture
Classic song
Went to the pub …bought a pint…put a pound in the fruity….sparked a cigarette….
Reminds me of Kidulthood, Adulthood movies...👌🏾
❤
Every time he says flag take a sip
It's vividly real, as those of us who know, simply know 🙂
My favourite bit was when everyone waved their flags and went mental.
But only on his command
My favourite bit was that I didn't even get to go mental or see anyone go mental because he didn't raise his flag. I didn't see anyone going up any hills or anything either.
My mans a legend even wirh the beer belly😂
Not even pinging but this song makes me feel like I am
