- It was so hard for me to find it here, so here i share it for you.
(I do not own this song nor video)
Listen to this and more great bands at Vinyl FM @Vinylfmradio facebook/Vinylfm.radio
This song should be as famous as "Imagine"
I guess
Heard this song on the radio once about twenty years ago and have been looking for it ever since! Finally found it today 💗💗💗
Well done, glad you found it
@@lewisyoutub thanks!☺️
Listen to the rest of his music, he's class
@@Db-gh9dm will do!
Sad that this guy's career didn't blow up like some of the others around mid 2000s, seemed a genuine talent
Right! I still listen to him from time to time.
this guy came out at the true end of real music nobody feels anything anymore it has no place in this world now
What does he do now?
@@midorixi He's still making music! And it has progressed to an interesting place. If success is artistic freedom and connecting with the people who resonate, then Willy is successful!
It will
Where the humans eat genuinely changed my life when it came out. I'll always hold a place in my heart for this song
fuck yes! thank you.
I came back just to remember how much I've changed. How much the times have changed. Times were so simple when this came out.
No they weren't. We were just ignorant to much of the evil being carried out in the name of profit and control.
I heard this for the first time 12 years ago, listening to my sons playlist after he took his own life. At first it sounds like a sad song but it is actually so positive! Everything my Nathan would want to make better for all ❤x
WOW... genuinely gave me uncontrollable goosebumps hearing this again after years!!
Amazing, my brother Billy passed away 7 years today. Loved listening to this song together. Music is the answer xxx
Rip billy xx thinkin about u both just now
@@neilcampbell8499 cheers dude 😎
I met Willy at a house party he played at after supporting Ben Howard in Manchester England. Nicest, down-to-eath guy i've ever come across. Much respect to him. Been following his music since i was 14 - 15. Got all his albums signed. Love his work.
+Michael Waterhouse I can't believe he was supporting Ben Howard. In my mind Ben Howard should have been supporting him. Ben Howard is very talented and actually from an area very close to where I live but I still prefer Willy Mason, he comes across as so heartfelt and genuine.
My thoughts exactly.
Damn! Luckiest person alive over here!
Loved this song when I was younger and today, nostalgia brought me back and it still sounds as good as it did back then
This song is so good. I heard it once and I remembered it for a few months until i heard it again and got the name and artist. It makes me feel something that most other songs can't, bc it's not much of an actual feeling, I don't know how to explain it. I'm aware that nobody will see this, but I rly want to put out there that this song has rly effected someone. Good job.
It's funny.. I remember listening to this song when it came out and I forever remember it. I dont listen to it a lot but I always find myself humming it. It left something in me from the begining.
This is as fresh as the day it was written and as relevant. Come the time's, come the tune.
My lord this hits ya in the feels!
I grew up on this stuff, always have the urge to sing along or almost cry to this song
Claymo today I found my sisters old playlist. It was the same playlist that I listened to when I was little and there are so many hidden gems in it like this one
Yes!
A little from column A, and a little from column B. Great singer songwriter 😁
I love this song. Its my daily alarm clock and puts me in the right mood everyday.
This song will be more significant than "seven nation army" was during the Arab spring. Mark my words. This song will define America
For some reason, this song and video always stuck with me. I just couldn't remember the name. So glad it just came to me, this morning.
We could be doing with more songs like these now a days. The lyrics have such deep meaning
This was my best friends favorite song. He was a youth counselor. He unfortunately succumbed to his demons and ended his life about 5 years ago. I still remember listening to this for the first time together in our buddies' living room and thinking it accurately described what he sought to be to others and to the world. Recently I had been seeking out and listening to songs that for whatever reason, I COULD NOT listen to because of the negative emotions attached to hearing them. I made it through all of them. Except this one, man. I've realized I'd slowly numbed off over the years for protection and wish I hadn't. If anyone would and could help me through this feeling, it would be him. I don't make these types of posts on youtube, especially a great song such as this, but together, we can be better than oxygen.
I think music is the answer x
That is tradgic ! It's tough loosing a friend, thx for posting , I have lost several friends, It really hurts but I will always treasure the time we had , Lets raise a glass to our fallen bros , died too young but live on in our hearts :)
Sending Love man 🙏🏽
Oof... I didn't think this song could hit me any harder. I love this song, I love you, and I love your friend
@@vidhyashreenagaraju2581 Much love bro!!! ❤
Know his song because it was the song on my windows media player back in about 2001 lol.. Good song.
Marathoned this song while marathoning WoW a decade ago, such a strong association with a completely different period of my life.
heck ya, same
Whenever I'm having a tough time, I always find myself drifting back to this song.. it saddens me that as years pass the limited views remain, a lot of people are missing out. This guy truly is a gem x
Art doesn't have to be complex. It can be in the hands of the honest, heartfelt, and kind, saying I care and just putting it out there.
not heard this for years, all time classic of all time
3 years late but yes man, Flat Eric🤣
This really should be my generations anthem
Thanks Zane
Had never heard this until Tom Robinson mentioned it in his interview with Pete Mitchell (Absolute Radio). Love it!
A beautiful song. Forgotten until I was reminded today by a local cover version.
Saw Willy perform in Glasgow in 2007 he was amazing! He had just got a new guitar from a place down the road. Great gig.
I heard it on the radio when it was new I must have been 15 and it really is a nice song
I miss the 00's
I've never heard this song before but it feels like I've always known it. It reminds me of something I don't remember.
It came on in my dads van on a journey for a gig i had.b
He told me it was my (not blood) uncle's favourite song. I dont like much of america but this song is an exception.
Lovely, beautiful song
Epic song from my rebelious days (they've never left me)
thank you so much. been looking for this original original for years now. thank you. now I can show my kids this.
;) u welcome, its very nice to know how many people like this song and some years ago it didn't exist here in UA-cam.
cheers!
Astute young fella
My favorite song! Thanks for posting it again :-)
UP if this song, for some reason, brings you that nostalgic feeling :/
This is great, not just the song but the video, kind of reminds me of Alexander Supertramp :D
This song was given away free on a cd with an edition of NME magazine in the uk called hot list 2003 or something I believe. First time I'd heard of the guy and was blown away. There were many bands on that cd that went on to great things. Willie Mason was not one of them sadly.
It's as cool as something from the 90s'.
this was on a 2005 compilation album, I got my mom to buy it as my first CD (with Demon Days). I love songs like this. It’s like what Imagine by John Lennon is to so many
One of the greatest singles ever.
Lyrics:
I want to be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I want to speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I want to be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
I want to see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I want to hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten America?
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up and hair to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?
I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
If I'm afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I'll float them down the river stream
Each one i weave with words i speak to carry love to your relief.
I want to be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I want to speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I want to be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew

This should be the American National Anthem
Thats where I heard this song too haha
so from 3:01 onwards you can hear "when you tell me that you love me" by Diana Ross playing quietly in the background. is that cos its on the original recording of the song? or the official version of the video?! or just the way it's been recorded by the original uploader?
Don't miss him at notingham rescue rooms tonight x
Leggermi in testa.."oxygen"..
This was on an album called coastal chill, we called that the little house cd as kids, just remembered this in a fit of reminiscent love, never understood almost wish things were better enough that it didn't hit so close to home
Zane Lowe classic!
can't wait to see him support ben howard on the every kingdom tour! :)
"I take pride in you."
-Shame-

Wasn't he one of the Two and a Half men?
