I moved to Scotland as an German, settled in and my Scottish girl friend broke up with me, I stayed 3 years after that, I loved the country and the kind people, still it was a bitter Sweet time in Scotland, and this music reminds my on those cold Scottish nights and the pain I felt ……… now I am in my 50s and the music Transports me back to those days……greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪
1999.. I was 13 living in the middle of nowhere after moving out from big city due to my family's financial struggle. My parents bought a stereo for me and my brother. This song was on the radio at that time. I remember recording it and playing it over and over again. Even when there was no electricity the batteries kept the music playing. Tough time but I miss it. Great band! Long live Travis!!!
gnif3k I was 14, but I just met Travis in 2000 when I bough The Man Who. It greatly improved my life with these songs in that boring days at school. Thanks Travis!!!
In 1999 was my father's last year of life. The pain in losing him was so great that it seems to have divided mine into two parts. The sound of this song reminds me of the times when I had to start my life over at 11...
Some of us are forced to endure much more than we should. The pain never leaves, but hopefully you now focus more on the good times you had with your dad.
I moved to Istanbul from Kenya to start college in 2007. Due to the language barrier I struggled to make friends in my first year there. I moved into this tiny cold apartment and I used to spend whatever little money I had on calling my family back home due to being so homesick. I had an mp3 player that I used to listen to in the train on my way to school and in the evening on my way back home. It had limited memory and most of the times I had to decide which songs to delete in order to add new ones. I could never bring myself to delete this song. It captured that moment of my life so perfectly. To this day whenever I hear this song it's like a time machine back to that moment of my life.
I was 18 and was graduating high school. Mtv2 is playing in the living room while mom is cooking dinner and Gramma walks over every evening at the same time, while this video is playing. She knew most of the lyrics and we would dance and sing while mom cooked. Oh, to have those moments back again. I miss her so much.
Ridiculous how powerful music is, a real time machine for the mind, Grandma would be so happy you have this memory, she was teaching you how wonderful life is ❤
the lyrics : I can't sleep tonight Everybody's saying everything is alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights Sunny days, where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning I can't stand myself I'm being held up by invisible men Still life on a shelf when I've got my mind on something else Sunny days, oh, where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue sky go? Oh why is it raining so? It's so cold I can't sleep tonight Everybody's saying everything is alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights Sunny days, oh, where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue sky go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning Why does it always rain on me? Why does it always rain on, on
Hits you differently when you are depressed and in Scotland. Most of the year is cloudy and grim. Can be a lonely country to be in without family and friends.
Been struggling with so much anxiety for months to the point where music doesn't seem to distract myself/make me feel better as it used to. But somehow, this song made me feel comfort again. It's one of those songs that came/I found at the right time. It's like a blessing.
Sounds like your young, this shit hits you like whoa then, but as you get older it gets more manageable. Its just a side kick to life, keep doing the things you enjoy (speaking from experience)
Same here. Struggling with chronic pain. Haven't slept for years. Just want the pain to end. Remembered this song and came here. Hope all of you in the comments are all well. 🤗
Summer 1999. I met my husband for the first time in person and spent a week in a St. Bride's Castle, Wales. This song kept playing, and we both knew it was the story of our past. We married three months later and are still mad about each other. This song brings back happy memories for the both of us!
I was 17 yrs old who had failed the enroll exam to get in the Universty, at that time when I heard this song somehow just cheered me up. Now I’m 36 , this song always gives me the positive power .
Indeed it is...and one of my favorites ! The first time I heard this song was actually on a British show called " William & Mary (on Tubi) And the episode was amazingly beautiful. Especially when everyone started singing this song and standing up at a mates funeral. VERY powerful moment. This song and the scene moved me to tears...it truly was beautiful and the song fit the scene perfectly. IF you watch it, come back here and let me know if it moved you as it did me.
Today, 16 November 2024, got the chance to see Travis live in Mexico City. This was the next to last song of the gig and it truly made me cry. I didn’t know that this was my song, despite I’ve heard it from years now, but the first chord hit me so hard, that it seemed that finally understood it. Those tears of pain, but also joy, were the final connection between me and the wonderful artists Travis are. So now I’m sharing this to you, 20 minutes after the concert.
"Why Does It Always Rain on Me?" The song was written by frontman Fran Healy who wrote the song while on holiday in Israel. He wanted to go somewhere sunny because in his hometown of Glasgow it rained all the time. In an interview at the Live 8 concert, he explained that he was spending a short holiday in the southern vacation city of Eilat, Israel in the middle of the winter. The city is known for its hot weather even during winter time, but surprisingly it began to rain for two days during his stay. When Travis began to perform this song at the 1999 Glastonbury Festival, after being sunny for several hours, it began to rain exactly when the first line was sung.
This song was released when I was 13 and I remember watching it on MTV. I am 34 now and I am watching it on UA-cam, have 2 kids, married twice, went through heartaches, traveled the world. Not too bad! Can't wait for what more is coming my way. Life is good!
@Pol Fartin hey bud! I sure am awake. Wow, didn't realize I'd be looking back at a post I wrote almost 2 years ago when I got notified on my phone by your comment. Life's still good. Just waiting for the lockdown to end. Stay safe, all.
Hey Kathryn B, I totally understand what you say, I am 64 and I'm using my wifes YT. No one seems to understand what the fuck I'm on about, when I mention songs that take me way back. eg. Crimson and clover, there she goes, the Las etc. Glad you wrote. Juke box clown
One day I’ll look back and remember how sad and happy this song made me feel in the summer. Thinking about all the good opportunities I missed out on because of self-doubt.. but still holds a special place in my life
I don't know, they were absolutely massive here in the UK in the early 2000s. I don't know why they disappeared from public attention or what happened to them.
I was going through a very difficult period in my life when Travis released this song and it described exactly how I was feeling except for feeling the sunny days belonging. Rather than further depress the heck out me I found it quite uplifting and eventually found the sunny days again. Thank you Travis for your wonderful music.
Está canción la escuche en el 2000 y me quedo en la mente su melodía, no sabía cómo se llamaba ni como buscarla, hasta que hoy apareció derrepente en UA-cam, 20 años después, pensé que nunca la iba volver a escuchar, es una de mis favoritas.
Literally just seen the band live tonight in Derry. Unbelievable. Was like listening to the CD. Pitch perfect. Serious nostalgia. They have aged well, and still look very similar. Musically they sound as good as ever!!!
One of the most Underrated masterpieces of our time... Super dark and miserable, but bright and Hopeful at the same time. Effortless vocals, the Scotts can fckin sing man 💙
Dear god, I love this band! Such beautifully intertwined melodies, dramatic lyrics, and wonderful chord changes, building up and beyond! Love the new album too! #Travis is the best! ❤
The best Travis music video ever for when the band starts chasing each other and then, find themselves a boat home to performed their new music video in 1999. I hummed while the music video is still played on UA-cam today.
I moved to Berlin as a Korea girl and fell in love with my German teacher. I stayed for one and a half years. I loved the country and its kind people, though it was a bitter sweet time in Germany. This music reminds me of my days in Europe. Now I am 30, the music transports me back to those days…. Greeting from Seoul South Korea.
Both poignant and elegantly shot as a video. The whole coming out of darkness and what's kept you held captive inside. Then chasing those who have held you captive. To only follow them into a washing of the waters.🌊 Been loving this song and video now for 15 years or more. Brilliant!!!!!
Went to Travis concert just yesterday at the Dubai Opera. What a great experience to see one of the best bands ever alive! Hope seeing them soon again! Great sound guys!
Fran Healy is a true songsmith. He's pulled elements from some of pop's greatest heroes and anthems. Quite sure this is playing at my funeral. Captures all the sentiments you want people to eulogize to.
Heard this song on the tour to Scottish highlands on my recent trip. Then heard it in loop while walking the streets of Edinburgh at night and drizzling above. There’s a different vibe to it. I don’t hear much english songs because its not my first language but man this one hits close to my heart! Much love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Un clásico es una canción que va a sonar genial en cualquier momento del futuro. Y eso pasa cuando la canción está muy bien elaborada, esta es un buen ejemplo.
I can't sleep tonight Everybody saying everything's alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning I can't stand myself I'm being held up by an invisible man Still life on a shelf when I got my mind on something else Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold I can't sleep tonight Everybody's saying everything's all right Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold Why does it always rain on me? Why does it always rain on....
Thank you so much! Heard this song for the first time tonight on William and Mary and wanted to sign along but couldnt remember all the words. Beautiful song, amazing voice, thanks again.
Song reminds me of some of my earliest memories as well as some of my fondest. Grandma, Grandad... until we meet again. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
My ex loves this song a lot, it was making him emotional so much and I learned this song because of him. We are not together any longer but I'm thankful he showed me beautiful songs and hey "E" I hope you are not crying while listening this song, miss you
Hey something similar happened to Me, My ex loves i love You anyways, we are not together anymore I know this song because of him, hey "S" i hope u remember me while listening to our song.
I found this song eight years ago because I had a crush on a boy named Travis... I'd say as far as accidental finds go, this one was pretty good, seeing as I'm still listening to it almost a decade later. Thanks, fifteen-year-old me.
I was always fond of these guys as a music band. I lived in England for my studies in late eighties to early nineties. It brings back all those melancholic moments and memories. I would not trade anything with those amazing university years.❤
He was inspired to write it after it rained on a trip to Israel. He has referenced it many times. "Fran Healy started writing the song while on holiday in Israel. According to Healy, he wanted to go somewhere sunny in the middle of winter because in his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland, it rained frequently. His accountant suggested the southern vacation city of Eilat, Israel which is known for its hot weather even during winter time. However, on the way to the hotel, it began to rain, which lasted until he left a week later.[4]"
When I finished school, I heard this song for the first time 20 years ago here in Peru and as I was very sad at that moment, quickly I felt identified with the lyrics and the tune, so it became in my favourite song of 2000. Somehow it brings me back that sadness 'cause of how our lives have changed today due COVID 19, many people have past away and nothing is the same anymore.
I can't sleep tonight Everybody's saying everything is alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights Sunny days, where have you gone?

Absolute timeless banger
In 1999 was my father's last year of life. The pain in losing him was so great that it seems to have divided mine into two parts. The sound of this song reminds me of the times when I had to start my life over at 11...
Hope you are doing well now my friend, respect from Scotland 👍
Sorry to hear about you dad. Terrible time for you
Same for my father in 1999 n this song is saddens me but i m still listening ...🥺
I'm sorry Thiago. God bless you.
Some of us are forced to endure much more than we should. The pain never leaves, but hopefully you now focus more on the good times you had with your dad.
I moved to Istanbul from Kenya to start college in 2007. Due to the language barrier I struggled to make friends in my first year there. I moved into this tiny cold apartment and I used to spend whatever little money I had on calling my family back home due to being so homesick. I had an mp3 player that I used to listen to in the train on my way to school and in the evening on my way back home.

I'm here in America and reading your memories of that time made me smile. Thank you for posting.
That's a beautiful recollection. Thank you for sharing.

I was 18 and was graduating high school. Mtv2 is playing in the living room while mom is cooking dinner and Gramma walks over every evening at the same time, while this video is playing. She knew most of the lyrics and we would dance and sing while mom cooked. Oh, to have those moments back again. I miss her so much.

Ridiculous how powerful music is, a real time machine for the mind, Grandma would be so happy you have this memory, she was teaching you how wonderful life is ❤
You'll see her again I promise
What a truly beautiful memory

the lyrics :
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on, on

Hits you differently when you are depressed and in Scotland. Most of the year is cloudy and grim. Can be a lonely country to be in without family and friends.
Been struggling with so much anxiety for months to the point where music doesn't seem to distract myself/make me feel better as it used to. But somehow, this song made me feel comfort again. It's one of those songs that came/I found at the right time. It's like a blessing.
I have depression and anxiety myself but we soldier on, all the best😀
I feel ya brother but the main thing is keep doing stuff that makes you feel happy I have anxiety too
Sounds like your young, this shit hits you like whoa then, but as you get older it gets more manageable. Its just a side kick to life, keep doing the things you enjoy (speaking from experience)
Same here. Struggling with chronic pain. Haven't slept for years. Just want the pain to end. Remembered this song and came here. Hope all of you in the comments are all well. 🤗
talk to someone brother you might have a manic depressive and they have a specific therapy for it

nice
😭😭😭
19 years after the first time I heard this song... it's STILL great :)))))))))
And now, it sounds so much like the old Keane. At times, Tom Chaplin and Travis voice are indistinguishable, as also the chord progressions.
dude shush. you making me feel old lol
In another 19 years it will still be great!
Me too, saludos desde México.
God has it really been 19 years?
I was 17 yrs old who had failed the enroll exam to get in the Universty, at that time when I heard this song somehow just cheered me up. Now I’m 36 , this song always gives me the positive power .
That's crazy. I'm 17 years old listening to this now
Now, I want to hear more about your story. What have you been doing after that until now.
Im now 72 and I feel Travis wrote this song for me . Every word he sings describes what my life has been.
No idea how your life ended up, but honestly, you're probably better off that you didn't go to Uni. No debt=freedom.

"I see a tunnel at the end of all of these lights" is such a great line.

Those tears of pain, but also joy, were the final connection between me and the wonderful artists Travis are.

"Why Does It Always Rain on Me?"
The song was written by frontman Fran Healy who wrote the song while on holiday in Israel. He wanted to go somewhere sunny because in his hometown of Glasgow it rained all the time.

When Travis began to perform this song at the 1999 Glastonbury Festival, after being sunny for several hours, it began to rain exactly when the first line was sung.
yeah ur right
that's what he gets for telling fibs
Hi From israel... (not Eilat)
The opposite happens to me: I'm from often sunny Southern Spain and whenever I visit Ireland, England or Scottland I bring the good weather with me.
I was at that gig and it didn't rain he full of shit like you
This song was released when I was 13 and I remember watching it on MTV. I am 34 now and I am watching it on UA-cam, have 2 kids, married twice, went through heartaches, traveled the world. Not too bad! Can't wait for what more is coming my way. Life is good!
Heeh nice story I have similar momories with this song..

After so many years and million of listenings, this song is still beautiful. Timless classic.
Ouh yes indeed
I was watching an episode of "Cold Case" and heard this incredible song, for the first time, that I can wholeheartedly relate to.
Totally devoid of Tims, I agree
Bang on 👍
lol
This song remind my younger age when I was 23 now I am turn 44 and still listen Travis songs ....
thay have just realise a new album..and tour!

That's that melancholy feel
oh god, i love the 90s
👍
yep.....
Amm It was in 2000
That album was released in 1999.
+Marty Rea it still counts
Have to agree with all those saying that Travis has never gotten the recognition they deserve. Such beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics! ❤️
I don't know, they were absolutely massive here in the UK in the early 2000s. I don't know why they disappeared from public attention or what happened to them.
I worked with his wife in the north east. Think he just became a family man
I was going through a very difficult period in my life when Travis released this song and it described exactly how I was feeling except for feeling the sunny days belonging. Rather than further depress the heck out me I found it quite uplifting and eventually found the sunny days again. Thank you Travis for your wonderful music.
What a blinder this album is. Played endlessly back in the day. Fantastic.
The Man Who is a brilliant album...Many happy summer days with my friends smoking pot,listening to Fran Healey's magical band...
Está canción la escuche en el 2000 y me quedo en la mente su melodía, no sabía cómo se llamaba ni como buscarla, hasta que hoy apareció derrepente en UA-cam, 20 años después, pensé que nunca la iba volver a escuchar, es una de mis favoritas.
Hermano saludos desde Venezuela sabias q me pasó lo mismo q tu con esta canción... Saludos
Tambien me paso. Recuerdo que la pasaban en MTV . Como en el año 2000
Even when the sun is shining, I can't avoid the lightning.
Brilliant !
Serene song. Fits well for me
in noisy and restless world.
Serenity, good mood, faith,
hope and love I need really much.
this song and this year marked the beginning of the end for MTV, great bands, and great music videos.
Spot on mate!
Travis was my best friends favourite band, this song was released the year he died so its always bittersweet when i hear it. Such a great album.
wilberforze
I honestly think ‘The Man Who’ was one of the best albums of 1999; it was lovely album.
its a great album. sorry bout your friend
@Donald Trump not necessary mate
@awsten He's a f'kn troll with the name of 'DT', so you will hate on him. Get it?
Childhood memories... I remember taping this video on my VHS off MTV, back when I was only 8. Aaah... such nostalgia.
yeahhhh me too today 21
I LOVED taping music videos when I was little haha! still have a few tapes around!
I was 8 also
This Travis Album takes me back to the time that I used to lived in Glasgow.
This is one of my favourite songs when I'm down and depressed. It shows me that I'm not alone with those feelings.
Literally just seen the band live tonight in Derry. Unbelievable. Was like listening to the CD. Pitch perfect. Serious nostalgia. They have aged well, and still look very similar. Musically they sound as good as ever!!!
Was there too lad... good concert!
When/where did travis play in Derry? I never heard about this
I'm just amazed how much this song can be related to so many different emotions, this is a true masterpiece.
My mother is sick in hospital 9 weeks I hope she gets better and makes a recovery from the bottom of my❤
💪
hope she recovered now ❤
Hope your mother is all good brother
How is she now Paul ?
I hope she's better now.
Please let us know?
Many blessings to you both.
20 years later and it's still raining.
Same, bro. Can't find an umbrella that lasts either.
You must live in Ireland too... Or Scotland... Wales.. Parts of England depending on the summer?
It’s fucking pouring in the United States. We need disaster relief!
Drowning:(
Same here, i never find that umbrella.. I guess I never will
I heard this at a motel during my great grandma's funeral and it really helped me get through the tough times then.
One of the most Underrated masterpieces of our time... Super dark and miserable, but bright and Hopeful at the same time. Effortless vocals, the Scotts can fckin sing man 💙
Dear god, I love this band! Such beautifully intertwined melodies, dramatic lyrics, and wonderful chord changes, building up and beyond! Love the new album too! #Travis is the best! ❤
The best Travis music video ever for when the band starts chasing each other and then, find themselves a boat home to performed their new music video in 1999. I hummed while the music video is still played on UA-cam today.
October 2020, man those where the years of my youth, when I was listening to Travis
i'm from Bergen ( Norway ) ..and 300 days/year this is my anthem
you should check out "only happy when it rains"
La la la la, why does it always rain on me, is it because I'm a mixed child... ✌🏼️
:v
I am from Turkey and Erdogan rules our country so 365 days a year, this is our anthem. So, Turkey is more darker than Norway now. Dont worry !

Cuando MTV aún valía la pena... Que buenos tiempos.
Classic Song! Travis were so underrated. Sunny days, where have you gone.
Qué canción tan más hermosa, me hace sentir demasiada nostalgia, regresando a esos hermosos días que pasan.
travis is so underrated boy band they deserve over 1 billion watch
I moved to Berlin as a Korea girl and fell in love with my German teacher. I stayed for one and a half years. I loved the country and its kind people, though it was a bitter sweet time in Germany. This music reminds me of my days in Europe. Now I am 30, the music transports me back to those days…. Greeting from Seoul South Korea.
The feeling I got from listening to this song for the first time never repeated for me. Such a strange mellow but comforting sound.
Both poignant and elegantly shot as a video. The whole coming out of darkness and what's kept you held captive inside. Then chasing those who have held you captive. To only follow them into a washing of the waters.🌊 Been loving this song and video now for 15 years or more. Brilliant!!!!!
Amo esta canción, simplemente esta muy bien construida y tiene un aire nostálgico increíble... Buena banda Travis... Saludos desde Chile
Went to Travis concert just yesterday at the Dubai Opera.
What a great experience to see one of the best bands ever alive!
Hope seeing them soon again!
Great sound guys!
Fran Healy is a true songsmith. He's pulled elements from some of pop's greatest heroes and anthems. Quite sure this is playing at my funeral. Captures all the sentiments you want people to eulogize to.
Heard this song on the tour to Scottish highlands on my recent trip. Then heard it in loop while walking the streets of Edinburgh at night and drizzling above.
There’s a different vibe to it. I don’t hear much english songs because its not my first language but man this one hits close to my heart!
Much love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Heard this again today in the office and it brought back happy memories of when I was young and carefree in Leeds. What a classic song.
Un clásico es una canción que va a sonar genial en cualquier momento del futuro. Y eso pasa cuando la canción está muy bien elaborada, esta es un buen ejemplo.
Travis are so underrated..
Their music is amazing
ikr, im gonna see them live in the summer
@@yourLocalPopPunkFan enjoy
I love this song! 15 years later and it still sounds new.
15 years? Well, that's depressing 😒 Funny thing is that the song came out when I was 17.
That's really depressing. Where did my youth gone? But still a good song :)
Gracias Travis !!!! Por tu hermosa música!!! Me encanta !!!! Lo escucho una y mil veces!!!! Gracias , gracias!!!!
This Travis Song and Video Takes Me Way Back To Years Ago..And It's Just As Timeless Today 👍🏼
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....
Thank you so much! Heard this song for the first time tonight on William and Mary and wanted to sign along but couldnt remember all the words. Beautiful song, amazing voice, thanks again.
Tuğba Isitmez I love these ppl who always put the lyrics in the comments... you keep it up!!!

Thanks

This song saved my life back in school and college, the best band ever 😀
Song reminds me of some of my earliest memories as well as some of my fondest. Grandma, Grandad... until we meet again.
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
I heard this song when I was 13 yo, 20 years later it still make me cry because it bring me a lot of memories.
My ex loves this song a lot, it was making him emotional so much and I learned this song because of him. We are not together any longer but I'm thankful he showed me beautiful songs and hey "E" I hope you are not crying while listening this song, miss you
man up
:/
Hope you get back together x
Hey something similar happened to Me, My ex loves i love You anyways, we are not together anymore I know this song because of him, hey "S" i hope u remember me while listening to our song.
@@astroboirap no u
I found this song eight years ago because I had a crush on a boy named Travis... I'd say as far as accidental finds go, this one was pretty good, seeing as I'm still listening to it almost a decade later. Thanks, fifteen-year-old me.
ramywiles what a lovely story
@@homeryxp2982 Uhm... What?
When the moments of melancholy arrive, this song sounds. 🎶
Greatest Scottish song ever. Should be national anthem
Heard this in 1999 was 15 and life was amazing. Beautiful song.
This was the first mp3 I ever downloaded.
Mine was "Roy Orbison - you've got it" via dial up. Start the download then check in on it every 15 minutes to make sure it hadn't disconnected.
God, I used to love Travis so much back in the day ❤️
I was always fond of these guys as a music band. I lived in England for my studies in late eighties to early nineties. It brings back all those melancholic moments and memories. I would not trade anything with those amazing university years.❤
this is a AWESOME song great SCOTTISH band 🏴 🏴 🏴
One of my all time favorite songs ever.
When you learn he’s not singing about actually rain but rather a metaphor for depressive feelings❤️❤️
He was inspired to write it after it rained on a trip to Israel. He has referenced it many times. "Fran Healy started writing the song while on holiday in Israel. According to Healy, he wanted to go somewhere sunny in the middle of winter because in his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland, it rained frequently. His accountant suggested the southern vacation city of Eilat, Israel which is known for its hot weather even during winter time. However, on the way to the hotel, it began to rain, which lasted until he left a week later.[4]"

Pretty sure everyone knew that lol
@@RabbidTheNabbitAye. Nice one.
Saw them last night at the O2 in London... so many memories back and I had to re-listen this gem! they're so good (and entertaining!)
Timeless melody. 20 years old and still sounding great.
Wow que tema , me mando años atras cuando solo escuchaba musica fuerte y travis me enseño que tambien hay belleza en la musica soft ..preciosa
This song is magic. it always was since my childhood. thank you Travis
Love Travis great songs. I’m probably biased as they’re Scottish 🏴
This song has aged well. Good sign.
Like Scottish Whiskey LOLLLLL
@@no1musicfan648 yup
The fuck does that mean? Condescending prick
@@no1musicfan648 Fuck off
@StarDust Fuck off. Who do you think you're dealing with here. I'm dangerous pal.
20 years old, wow! Im 47 now and this song brings back so many memories, good and bad, goosebumps all over me now
I'm 45 and have the same feelings. Goosebumps all over
@@valentinag7481 enjoy the goosebumps 👍😁
@@steaders-hk3ut cheers 👍
i m 49 and lots of good memories listening this with my GF
& the people says, givs no time machine ;)
When I finished school, I heard this song for the first time 20 years ago here in Peru and as I was very sad at that moment, quickly I felt identified with the lyrics and the tune, so it became in my favourite song of 2000. Somehow it brings me back that sadness 'cause of how our lives have changed today due COVID 19, many people have past away and nothing is the same anymore.
This song perfectly sums up the weather in The UK right now!
Timeless.
Me trae tantos recuerdos esta rolita.
Always fucking cry my eyes out to this legend tune.
Haven't heard this song for over a decade. It's stll so fucking beautiful.
Its' sad thet their isn't songs like this anymore ..today's songs just don't have the emotions like in the 90's
its one of those good driving songs . where you are thinking abt your life and what you have with it. is their more to life
Every Travis album is a good road trip album.
Agradeço a antiga MTV Brasil por ter me apresentado essa banda incrível. Esse canção e clipe são demais!!!
É sobre 😭❤️
This song came out when I was 17. Loved it then and still love it now.
É 2023 e cá estamos ouvindo essa obra de arte, música, clipe. Tá tudo perfeito 👏
The undisputed best song of Travis.
"side" is better
Best man jumping with a skirt
Oooooo that's a big call man! So many good songs! Driftwood, Side, Turn, My Eyes, so many but this is definitely up there too!
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Oh where did the blue sky go?
