Brilliant tune... Like many have said those truly were the days... Going into the 90s as a teen life really was different no social media and no mobile phones.. Sega mega drives.. Fiesta xr2s...escort cosworths😍.. mk2 golf gtis... Renault 5 turbos...Cool clothes... Dance music kicking off proper.. .. Great festivals n raves... N lots of good nyt clubs... . Everyone on the e, s made for some friendly loving and the best nights out ever... Every generation will say there era was the best but the 90s truly were... Techonology was good just advanced enough... We're too far now.. Anyone who was there will understand... ✌️
I was the same age then. Early 90's were awesome. Music shifted into the "anything goes" phase. So much new material. It was like drinking from a fire hose. Loved every minute.
God bless 1989-1991. May the memories never die. We had something really special that this generation will never have (too busy heads down worshipping their master, the mobile phone). THIS is what humankind was capable of before our enslavement by technology. shout out to the kids of 1989-1991.
Man, this tune takes me right back to 1990. Bad times and good times, but I would not change a single thing, and this song totally takes you over. F÷*king groovy.
Met these guys back in the 90s. I was on a night out in Merseyside and bumped into these guys in a pub. Had a great laugh with them. We were all dancing just having fun. Great bunch of lads. Those were the days 😊
One of the best tunes ever it just encapsulated everything that was happening at that time in British culture raves,festivals,football,the casual scene and of course the music.I was so lucky to being growing up in that period.If I had a time machine would I go back?Of course I would I don't envy the youth of today in fact I pity them.
I met Peter Hooton on holiday the summer before this. Obviously I didn't know him but him and his mates were brilliant. Sat round the pool talking about music, football, clothes one day was such an education. When it comes to training shoes this fella knows it all. He's an absolute encyclopedia of Adidas trainers and a really lovely guy.
It only reached #41 in the USA but it ended up being my favorite song of the year. Still got my vinyl 45 of this great song. A great feel good song. This didn't reach USA shores until the late summer of 1991. 30 years already. Where does time go????
I was surprised it didn't go higher in the US too. Many less memorable songs kept it out of the top 40. So it's good to see the band did well in the UK. I'm glad there's youtube so we can go through their whole works.
Brookside was legendary. My grandfather knew Bill Dean who played Harry Cross tangentially as he was a club act too if I recall correctly. By all accounts a nice person.
@@garethjones6566 I thought Mike Peters was the leader and everyone else was one of his followers. Or at least the 30 people who bought Rain In The Summer Time in 1986!
This is a great pop track that I managed to record off the FM radio in Waco, Texas back in 1990 and listed to it a ton. Getting to hear it again makes for a very nice reunion ... still love it and it makes me happy to hear it!
Su fucking perb!!!1990.What a fucking year.Roses Mondays,The Charlatans,The Farm.Great World Cup,New Order,World In Motion,what a classic tune.Jesus,wish I was back there now,no social media,heaven!!!
The Farm, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Charlatans and 808 State created something that the bands of today will never create...originality You’re so special
I don't think they are allowed to anymore. The artists freedom to write and perform has been massively restricted due to the manufactured pop culture we have today sadly. Luckily we were there to enjoy it.
This is one of those songs that's ageing really well, I remember hearing it often back in the day. Proper feel good gig if your not smiling check your pulse there's something wrong with you 😊😉☀️
I was in Southport during a heatwave and Lord Street genuinely felt like being in Paris, which itself is said to have been potentially inspired by Lord Street.
Ahhhh, happy days. 1990 and I was seeing a girl who was the love of my life. It didn't work out but this and a few other tracks remind of a special time. Awesome tune.
Forgotten how good this tune is, the video captures these merry scouse chancers in all their feel good glory! I was 22 in the summer of 1990 and my whole life was ahead of me, where the fuck did those years go?
Such a beautiful tease of a song. It takes over half the song before the first chorus. All carried by perfect pop instrumentation, crunchy sounds, and great vocal complements. Groovy Train should be shown by the NHS to depressed people -this is what fun feels like on a daft sunny day. Try to have that more often.
Aw thank you Adam. I always think even The Stone Roses, Mancunians/ Cheshire lads, were inspired by Liverpool, what with Mersey Paradise and Spike Island. I hope you're going to see The Stone Roses this year. I'd be interested to know whcih bands you've seen live or are interested in. I really do think, even for that era, Groovy Train was very special. It's a bit like Happy Mondays Kinky Afro - some quirky poetic brilliance.
Cheers mate. Yeah the visuals of the video also remind me of Step On. It was a bright, song with a great hook. I also loved Altogether Now, particularly the theme of the song, which was interesting. Liverpool has always been wonderful for music of course, and I loved how the city synced with Manchester and that part of England around the late 80s, until Brit pop over ran everything. I was a big fan (from a slightly early period) of the Bunnymen, New Order, the Fall and the Smiths, and I saw them all in their pomp - in Belfast, where I'm from. Next up for me in a few weeks is Kraftwerk. Quality is Quality! But I do think I'd swap anything for a time machine and a trip to the Hacienda, 1982, or maybe 1990.
Did you change name, Stephen? I seemed to have called you Adam. New Order's Blue Monday was epic- they took this imperialistic Teutonic-like (maybe partly Kraftwerk) inspired sound, and it seemed to chime with the Industrial Revolution and apocalyptic 1980s de-industrialisation of UK cities. I like The Smiths too - I always think if someone likes The Smiths there must be at least a few Stone Roses songs they like or can like and vice versa. I guess you might have seen Kraftwerk at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool in June last year, looking at their schedule. I'd just like to mention Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells 2 from 1992 (plus practically all 80s music) as a big favourite of mine too - it's a much more robust, melodic , new age album, than the straight forward folk of the original.
Adidas Gazelles, Puma Dallas, Stan smiths, Duffer, Chevignon, Chipie,Chambers, Jet jeans, Simpson jeans, By Basi , Monday’s Roses, Farm Charlatans, La’s and old Skool Rave, those were definitely the days just beautiful ✌️
Chevignon! Hells bells I’d forgotten about Chevignon gear.. we also wore Red Fila walking boots over in Leeds at Rickys, KAOS and the warehouse 😎 happy days
Grew up happy on a farm. Left at 14 to explore life . After a bit of world travelling here I find myself owning 2 acres of farm land raising my two kids . We travel to come back to the beginning to know it for the first time
This track made me go and buy the CD and the whole thing was special including the bonus tracks. Spartacus, pills thrills and belly aches, Talk Talk The remixes and ofcourse The La's ( I am a scoucer ) where the party albums of 91
I remember going to see them live in Manchester .Don't know how but I woke up in McDonald's in Preston 2 days later ! Crazy days without a care in the world !
They did well to make Southport look so good! I went there in the very early 90's maybe even the same year as this with my old man and brother, great memories!
Damn i was only a 8 year old kid living in scotland but i just missed all the madness my time was late 90s early 2000s lol but this is a classic summer tune!
Always loved this tune but seeing the video to it has brought back so many great memories how me and my mates was back then. Care free and always looked the part... “you’re so Spezial” 😉.
Been looking for this song for ages. It's always in rotation on VintageTV! Shame I couldn't have been there in 1990. Only four years out. What a tune.. 😎
Brilliant Tune... We,ve Missed Our Farm..Home. Peter You Can Still Faintly See The Black eye to the right ...eh... Liverpool Isn't The Same Without You . Be A Great Blessing To All People xxxx

I was trying to copy this and pass on to a friend born in the 90s
You are talking my language - breath of fresh air to read. Thank you!
@@LIVERNIL723 Thank you my friend👍
💖
I was 24 and ye life was fabulous
I’m now 54 and boy has the world changed!!!
Back when music was good and life was uncomplicated and care free
Oh we still had that tiny bit of innocence left that allowed us to truly enjoy life and make great art/music.
Too right
I was the same age then. Early 90's were awesome. Music shifted into the "anything goes" phase. So much new material. It was like drinking from a fire hose. Loved every minute.
Timeless 2024!
The farm, happy mondays, stone roses,shamen... those were the days, never bored, no depresion, ppl enjoying life...
Sadly true bro. But nobody can take from us the great memories, them we can relive and cherish forever, till the grave and beyond.
soup dragons classic

great comment. Kaczynski was right!
Too Right
There May be something like it come around again ?
You said it
Yep - so true. A special time, it was in the air, it was amazing.Our revolution.
That guitar riff is still one of the best ever on any song.
It sure does !
Coupled with her voice…! Goosebumps every time 😄
I feel exactly the same about the riff . ❤
What about that guitar riff from toes across the floor, Blind Melon?

Love this song, summer of 1990. 17yrs old, life was great.
Same here. I turned 17 on the 15th of May 1990. I'll be forty fucking five next Tuesday. Where did all the time go?
Same... 17 on April 1 1990. I didn't get into the song (over here in the States) until about a year or two later I think, but still love it.
@@frankboothsedated.7054 .... God knows better
I was 17 5th of June... was right into the indie scene and the raves then.. even wore a pair of flares and a sun hat...😎😎😎
I was 11 years old but I loved it and still love it to this day
One of those songs that you always recall no matter how many years might have passed.
Timeless this song still sounds so fresh

This is why the 80s and 90s were great...music songs made then will never b done again
The Sun really came out for us in the late 80's ..early 90's ..unreal.
One of the most memorable, high energy, amazing songs of my life. “Groovy Train” was the perfect “vibe” for the time!
and now
It only reached #41 in the USA but it ended up being my favorite song of the year. Still got my vinyl 45 of this great song. A great feel good song. This didn't reach USA shores until the late summer of 1991.
30 years already. Where does time go????
Ya I think first heard this when I was 10 back in 93
I was surprised it didn't go higher in the US too. Many less memorable songs kept it out of the top 40. So it's good to see the band did well in the UK. I'm glad there's youtube so we can go through their whole works.
The 90,s was good for me....great times....everybody were proud to be British....great times.
Im from the north east n ill take me hat of to the scouserd for this banger....fucking classic
Harry Cross in a farm video, the stuff of legends.
Top character, top band, mega tune.
All these years later it still makes me smile.
Brookside was legendary. My grandfather knew Bill Dean who played Harry Cross tangentially as he was a club act too if I recall correctly. By all accounts a nice person.
@@eightiesmusic1984 brilliant.
@@garethjones6566 You're not Gareth Jones the TV presenter and associate of The Alarm by any chance? Just a guess, probably wrong.

Happy memories. Bill Dean (Harry Cross) is the icing on the cake in this vid!
No words can say how much this song rocked my 20's (1994) at the time. Thank you Farm!
Same here bud 20's (1994)
1991
Will always love this song, so many memories wrapped around it.
Harry Cross plays a mean stick of rock. He's like the Brookside Bez
Fecin brilliant
Brings back memories. Best decade ever in my opinion .
Yep but nobody cares Your opinión 🙄🙄

Agreed 100% and you just can't beat the 90s !
Mock turtles?
MV 120 minutes. Loved seeing all the Brit bands during the "2nd Brit Invasion".
Ahh the memories! 🤩
Great Liverpool band with a mix of Blues & Reds .......this was filmed in Southport ......when it used to a tourist destination .
Album cover is on the wall in The Beat hospitality lounge at Anfield stadium. 😊
This is one of those songs that's ageing really well, I remember hearing it often back in the day. Proper feel good gig if your not smiling check your pulse there's something wrong with you 😊😉☀️
Love that. Seeing Harry Cross living his best life
This is a very chill song and I love that time in history.
Huge hit on KROQ in Los Angeles in 1991.
What a tune this is takes me back to madchester nights at the cockpit Leeds
1991 wow ❤❤❤❤
"Get on get on get on get on get on get on ....." 👌👌✅Love it
Southport Pleasure beach, that brings back memories.
I was in Southport during a heatwave and Lord Street genuinely felt like being in Paris, which itself is said to have been potentially inspired by Lord Street.
Ahhhh, happy days. 1990 and I was seeing a girl who was the love of my life. It didn't work out but this and a few other tracks remind of a special time. Awesome tune.
The keyboard intro of this song sends me to the space !!
Living in New York back in the day I literally wore the tape out of this phenomenal song. Phenomenal album.

Great comment brother
the vibe comming from Manchester....
Best song the happy Mondays never made
Go on Harry Cross
Edna must have let him out of the close for a day. 😊
Thank you for being so special. Song never goes out of style love listening to it in my car or going on holiday
"You're so special, oh so special". Know a few people like that..
Absolutely superb
Music evolved immensely in those short few years...Respect peace and love
I loved this song back in the early 90's. I bought this single on a cassette tape. Damn!!! A cassette tape.
i wish i could beam myself back to this time and never ever come back to now.
Wow! Those days...

Grew up happy on a farm. Left at 14 to explore life . After a bit of world travelling here I find myself owning 2 acres of farm land raising my two kids . We travel to come back to the beginning to know it for the first time
Perhaps your mind is a little too broadened by travel. This is a music video.
The 90's music, one last hoorah before the 2000's and beyond which is utter crap, I'm so glad I got to live in the 90's
I lived through mid 70s
Music died after 2 thousand n 6 ....
So True
THANKYOU TO THE FARM FOR THIS GREAT SONG.- Gareth
I like listening to this when I go to my model railway club.
Brilliant song from a happier time!!
This track made me go and buy the CD and the whole thing was special including the bonus tracks. Spartacus, pills thrills and belly aches, Talk Talk The remixes and ofcourse The La's ( I am a scoucer ) where the party albums of 91

They did well to make Southport look so good! I went there in the very early 90's maybe even the same year as this with my old man and brother, great memories!
True talent shines through every time!
thoughtless fun as it should be.
great to hear this again .
Used to blast out this album (cassette) in our block (army) in the early 90's, great memories of The GH's
block tunes! hated most of them but you tend to have no choice as someone would always be playing them!
Damn i was only a 8 year old kid living in scotland but i just missed all the madness my time was late 90s early 2000s lol but this is a classic summer tune!
This is lightyears ahead of most music today lol
Up to Goodison with Chelsea in 89 or something, 2-0 down and Dixon hammers in a couple...now THAT was groovy.
Well it's a classic. Me and my buddy from high school really appreciated this song during long nights of mountain dew laden road trips.
90s was the best started high school when this came out
Always loved this tune but seeing the video to it has brought back so many great memories how me and my mates was back then. Care free and always looked the part... “you’re so Spezial” 😉.

They look like a bunch of lads from down the pub...I love it!

@@alifragisnick71176 the were a bunch of lads from the farm....canny farm

God I miss the 90s
Hi. Great music going on in early 1990’s. This band was amazing. All provided the best sound track for me them. Thank u so much!
Top tune wicked year for indie music stone roses Happy Mondays the list goes on 🙌🙌

1990 what a year, was 22 now 55 and can almost taste that feeling again watching this
Great song, love the video as I used to go to Southport Pleasureland loads as a kid and spent hours on that big slide!! Ultimate nostalgia
Himalaya ride, Cyclone roller coaster (RIP) and miniature railway. Thought it was Southport marine lake until I saw this 1:29.
