Best of Razorlight: goo.gl/zoKwvd Subscribe here: goo.gl/7fXUoW Music video by Razorlight performing America. (C) 2006 Mercury Records Limited #Razorlight #America #Vevo
This was a time. Lily Allen, Duffy, The Streets, Amy Whinehouse, Corin Bailey Ray, The Kooks, Razorlight, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Hoosiers, Kasabian, the list goes on pretty much all bringing our their debuts in the same year some of them living round the corner or just seeing them around London all the time actual artists on MTV singing in British accents such creative moving music it was so new and different like our generations Brit Pop- we were spoilt. I miss it. And we all thought the Killers we’re British hahaha the good old days.
Same i guess. It is definitly the geniration i was ment to be in. Todays "music" is basicly white noise, a constapation groan, and "musicians" forcing what they think is right or wrong and basicly their opinions down out throughts.
I remember hearing this song a lot on the radio when it was first released. It continued being popular throughout the year of 2006/2007. It is nostalgic for me now. It reminds me of being a carefree teenager of 15, going to a snooker bar with my friends, drinking Pepsi, and eating chips. Worrying about the future, school, and trying to connect with girls and diminish my social awkwardness. Good times. A British youth faded in time.
Are you kidding? From 2004-2007 they were one of the biggest bands in the country, 5 top 10 singles, 1st album 4x platinum, 2nd album 5x platinum. They got loads of attention.
if you like Razorlight you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, it gives me those early noughties indie vibes and it's a great new indie song
This song is just pure nostalgia of long drives in the British countryside at night coming home to our small humble home looking out the window and having day dreams about America
It was early 2008, I was passed out on my friend's step-dad's floor after getting pissed for the first time. I had a hangover the size of America itself and would have remained firmly in the foetal position for the whole day had it not been for my friend's polyphonic version of this song playing for what seemed like the 28th time separated by ten minute intervals after he'd set it as his alarm. My eardrums and brain as a whole have a permanent imprint of this song and I can't hear that riff without smiling. Nee-nee-nee-neeneenee
Randomly remembered this today, such a great song. To anyone who comments about bands being underrated, it's the job of the music press to keep the good bands in mind and for new bands to namecheck and introduce their influences to their own fans. That’s how a healthy appreciation of music grows, and of course the amazing playlists that people put together on this app. Why not do the same if you want to pass on your recommendations rather than just lamenting that a song isn't more well known.
When I first heard wire to wire I was just another 17 year old boy having no access to the internet nor had any money. Now I am grown 27 and I always had the song stuck on my mind. It was not the only song I was determined I would listen to once I grew up and had money of my own. It's a different kind of life out here for me at least. Nobody would know. These are just pure gold. The bands and music from 2000s. It's like these bands were giving out their last big first shot.
Damn, i remember listening to this from my iPod as a little kid. Just starting elementary, parents were still together, my sister who is now a grown-ass teenager was just a newborn baby. Life was so simple.
What a drag it is The shape I'm in Well, I go out somewhere Then I come home again I light a cigarette 'Cause I can't get no sleep Theres nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio That means that much to me All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There's trouble in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh Yesterday was easy Happiness came and went I got the movie script But I don't know what it meant I light a cigarette 'Cause I can't get no sleep Theres nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio That means that much to me Theres nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio That I can believe in All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There's trouble in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh Yesterday was easy Yes, I got the news Oh, when you get it straight, you stand up, you just can't lose Give you my confidence, all my faith in life Dont stand me up Don't let me down No, I need you tonight To hold me, say you'll be here Hold me, say you'll be here Hold me, say you'll be here Hold All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh She's just in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh Tell me how does it feel Tell me how does it feel Tell me how does it feel Tell me how does it feel
I was there too it was crazy when Ricky Wilson was climbing up the scaffolding I also got some sort of substance thrown at me I would like to think it’s beer but who would throw a £10 pint
This is a classic, give it 10 years and people will appreciate this song so much more. It's got timeless power, such a shame it's technically a one hit wonder
one hit wonders? what about "Golden touch" "In the morning" They were huge hits and many more. i was around 25 when this was a hit. Saw them open for The Manic Street Preachers and they were great!!!
Critics savaged this. I found it hilarious, especially "Allowed a cigarette 'cause I can't get no sleep". 2006: Annus mirabilis 2013/4: Annus horribilis. I was seven (dare I say that?) when this was in the charts. Back when I learned times tables and not calculus or surds! 9.4/10 ("Amazing"), both for the nostalgia and the fact it's a brilliant song.
This makes me feel so old reminded of the days i was 6 i used to play razorlight on repeat; now 24 I got my own flat and still appreciate the music me mother brought me up on!❤
I remember so much good music coming out at this time. To me, this was a golden age. We are starting to see a return with new artists but my god things were coming out left right and center here. Bands that actually wrote and played their own music. And what music!
I was on the plane home from Malaysia and I was feeling tired, but looking forward to seeing my friends at school and I was browsing through music on the plane and came across this song. It reminded me of 2006 and I felt so nostalgic.
This is my favorite song, and it probably has been since I first heard it playing in the TV. Whenever I feel down, this is the song I listen to. Whenever I am filled with joy, this is the song I listen to. It has so much meaning to me, and it is impossible for me to explain why! I love this song, on so many levels.
Wow. Such a nostalgia. This song, many years ago, really helped me to get through the darkest times when i no longer saw any meaning im my life. Thank you guys for it 🙏🌈✌
god i don't know where i know this song but i am thankful ! these notes from the beginning who continues after in the song... this is pure magic in my ears !!
This song gives me bitter waves of nostalgia. I remember my mum used to take me to this big indoor play centre with ball pits and slides and I remember this was playing on one of my visits there - it had just come out. I remember hearing it on the radio in the car a lot of times after that and it makes me remember the shopping trips we used to have together. But now that's all gone and I am booking an MRI scan and am terrified that my whole life is going to be torn apart due to my health deteriorating. If ever there was a song that makes me cry it is this one. It holds so much value for me. Ahhhh man... why isn't time travel possible? I'm 19 and already want to go back in time to my childhood; this isn't a good start :(
This came on the radio a lot when I was about 10 years old, I loved it but I never knew the name of the song or band. My english wasn't really good back then so I didn't know what they were singing about, I kinda forgot the song when the years past but now, 8 years later, this song is playing on TV and I finally know the name and artist, still love it as much as I did back then.
kevinAGACM i absolutely love this i had to look everywhere to try and find the name of the artist and i was about 10 when i first heard this and i was hooked straight away
This song is wonderful, maybe people will appreciate it more soon. I've known and grown with this song, I used to be on sing star with this song on the PlayStation 😂 It's just wonderful
People are quick to forget the bad songs yet quick to remember the good ones. There was an equal amount of trash coming out at the time this came out, and an equal amount of good stuff coming out at the moment, you just have to look a little harder.
I remember this playing on the radio when we would get off at Dover on the ferry from Germany on my way to my grandmas. This and many bangers put my pre-pubescent self into a state of trance. And I appreciate finding these old songs. Especially as a weed smoker. My mind floods with nothing but positive memories of childhood.
Who's here in 2024 banging tune
yup as our rights and freedoms are being taken away.
For real man
Not heard it in ages
Ohhh ohhhh
Me
bangin tuneee

It was a shit time. Literally every band you listed were poor and the music scene at that time was dire.
Same i guess. It is definitly the geniration i was ment to be in. Todays "music" is basicly white noise, a constapation groan, and "musicians" forcing what they think is right or wrong and basicly their opinions down out throughts.
The Hoosiers?! LOL.

"There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio, that I can believe in...".
Seems like that no a day's
This song will ALWAYS be relevant.
Unless the US splits like Rome
I
Only until the US isnt..
Are you sure about that?
@@notserp1836 yup.
Too true my friend …peace and love to you 🇺🇸
My dad used to play this in the car all the time when I was younger. I'm glad I''ve finally found it
I am so happy to say, this is now me as well. I've spent the entire day looking for this :)).
What his career no his car stereo
That’s exactly how I found this song too
Exact same memory for me used to always hear this in my dads such a nostalgic song
Hello there
Such a brilliant, satirical, textured song. A total classic.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@daytonaschmidt4472 What's funny? This is a complete classic
@@jakewilkinson520 😂😂😂😂
2024 still listening, doesn't get old
Razorlight,a great band who never really got the attention they deserved!
I totally agree with you, they are so underrated! I remember hearing this song when it came it, I so loved it :-)
Are you kidding? From 2004-2007 they were one of the biggest bands in the country, 5 top 10 singles, 1st album 4x platinum, 2nd album 5x platinum. They got loads of attention.
yeah but only in England
+moe17moe Yes here in italy nobody know them... i discovered it in london 10 years ago... after that i feel this Song part of me
the band became famous quick and faded away quick... a UK No 1 single only got 6 million views!
Just a brilliant song, love Johhny's voice . Great band
if you like Razorlight you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Grumpy Days, it gives me those early noughties indie vibes and it's a great new indie song
I’m sorry but this has to be the most underrated song of all time
It was number 1 in the uk dont think you can call it underrated?
@@henryj8363 I’m from the UK i know, but apparently no one knows about it anymore
@@eliblake2756 you could say that about hundreds of songs.
@@henryj8363 it’s an opinion, I like this song, I think today it’s underrated.
I didn't know this song until yesterday
It really is almost impossible to adequately describe how beautiful this song is.
This song is just pure nostalgia of long drives in the British countryside at night coming home to our small humble home looking out the window and having day dreams about America
Ahhh, childhood nostalgia...
facts bro gonna have to stick scouting for girls on next hahah
@@amalakin4444 after them put some of the feeling on
Never heard a song of which the lyrics remained this relevant.
2023, this song is still a legend❤
2024
2024: still a banger this year
I was surprised to read the wikipedia page for this song and learn that it recieved negative reviews, it's so good!
It was early 2008, I was passed out on my friend's step-dad's floor after getting pissed for the first time. I had a hangover the size of America itself and would have remained firmly in the foetal position for the whole day had it not been for my friend's polyphonic version of this song playing for what seemed like the 28th time separated by ten minute intervals after he'd set it as his alarm. My eardrums and brain as a whole have a permanent imprint of this song and I can't hear that riff without smiling. Nee-nee-nee-neeneenee
Did you play Snakes game on his Nokia 8210 after the Polyphone Ringtone stopped? :D

These are just pure gold. The bands and music from 2000s. It's like these bands were giving out their last big first shot.
Thought this song would have way more than 13mil views, amazing song
No 2023 🎉
14m now.. you did some work
half of those views are me
Reminds me of Cornwall when Radio 1 was actually good, played this a lot. Great tune
I'm hear in 2023 with this banger and it gives me a reason to live, the UK at their finest in the 2000s.
This song will get more recognition once it's used in some cool movie or show
I think it’s pretty recognised
2006 was such a great year in music.
I know like the Black Parade came out as well like fuckkk
+Casey Divall The Black Parade is a good fucking album. House Of Wolves is fave.
+Zak Storey I love Cancer and Famous Last Words😏 didn't the American Idiot album come out as well?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssss
kept me sane ... well almost 😆 driving a lot then for work, loved the killer's too😊
The song I will always associate with my Step Mum who sadly passed away just before Christmas ❤❤❤
💓
Damn, i remember listening to this from my iPod as a little kid. Just starting elementary, parents were still together, my sister who is now a grown-ass teenager was just a newborn baby. Life was so simple.
And with the riots, a song that never ages.
What a drag it is
The shape I'm in
Well, I go out somewhere
Then I come home again
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Happiness came and went
I got the movie script
But I don't know what it meant
I light a cigarette
'Cause I can't get no sleep
Theres nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
Theres nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That I can believe in
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's trouble in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy
Yes, I got the news
Oh, when you get it straight, you stand up, you just can't lose
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life
Dont stand me up
Don't let me down
No, I need you tonight
To hold me, say you'll be here
Hold me, say you'll be here
Hold me, say you'll be here
Hold
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
She's just in America
Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
One of my all time favourite songs I reckon. These guys definitely deserve more appreciation
Grazie mille per la condivisione di questa bellissima canzone 🙏✨🎶🎻👍 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️💙🤗
I was 18 years younger when this song came out. Boy, what a great time back then. Now I am 36. Man, what a shitty time in wich we're living today! 😑
My youngest son 16 years old has just been to their concert in the U.K. ❤️
April 10 2023
2023 blast from the past ☺️💜
I can still remember joining the same stage with them.. Time flies by….But am honoured to have played on the same festival!!
Anyone in 2022 ???
I remember being in prison in 2006 banging this in the workshop. Getting me through tough times losing friends and family 👪🏿 💯.
Bless you Brother
Theres panic in america
Theres trouble in america
All my life watching America
(And the rest of the world)
@@onlyjake3851 yes
penguin yes
Theres gay sex in America
And I'm back 10years later lol. Jeez . These guys need to play live again.
All my life there's panic in America.... Such an underrated song.
Just seen these live at trentham gardens ! Absolutely amazing , well done and thank you for the experience
I was there too it was crazy when Ricky Wilson was climbing up the scaffolding I also got some sort of substance thrown at me I would like to think it’s beer but who would throw a £10 pint
I hope Ricky got his belt back from Johnny
It was a fantastic performance, a shame trentham made us walk the long way back to the car park 😂
This is a classic, give it 10 years and people will appreciate this song so much more. It's got timeless power, such a shame it's technically a one hit wonder
Damn right!
one hit wonders? what about "Golden touch" "In the morning" They were huge hits and many more. i was around 25 when this was a hit. Saw them open for The Manic Street Preachers and they were great!!!
Kyle Joyce !
I know what you mean..This tune is a classic..
It's been 10 years mate

Harry Elliott keep on going, your dad will always be with you 😊
Calm doon mate dad would be hitting the heave at that comment ya disgrace
R.i.p
💙💙
My favourite band, takes me back to the good old days 😊😊
With whats going on , this song comes to mind and here I am. Sort yourself out America, we know you can do it.
the bill has to be paid one way or the other...:))
what an underrated song it was...
Critics savaged this. I found it hilarious, especially "Allowed a cigarette 'cause I can't get no sleep".
2006: Annus mirabilis
2013/4: Annus horribilis.
I was seven (dare I say that?) when this was in the charts. Back when I learned times tables and not calculus or surds!
9.4/10 ("Amazing"), both for the nostalgia and the fact it's a brilliant song.
what a stupid comment that was...
I can't believe this was released in 2006. Time has literally flew by.
Yes... I think the same
2006... good times.
Hahah you blinked, now it's 2022.
This makes me feel so old reminded of the days i was 6 i used to play razorlight on repeat; now 24 I got my own flat and still appreciate the music me mother brought me up on!❤
I remember so much good music coming out at this time. To me, this was a golden age. We are starting to see a return with new artists but my god things were coming out left right and center here. Bands that actually wrote and played their own music. And what music!
2020 anyone?😚✌️
Yeah man 👌
I'm here, looking for long time friends
It feels like this song was written for 2020
Yo !!
Indeed!
One of the greatest songs of the 21st century so far!
Goosebumps, one of my all time favourite songs I remember the day they released this.
The year this song released (2006) was the same year that I was born, I am now 15, this song is great! What was it like to be a teenager in 2006/2007?
I was on the plane home from Malaysia and I was feeling tired, but looking forward to seeing my friends at school and I was browsing through music on the plane and came across this song. It reminded me of 2006 and I felt so nostalgic.
Username-that-sucks tells stories that suck
Possibly one of the greatest songs in history.
This song will always bring me back it's my time machine
Favourite song when I was three years old. 18 now, it’s still my favourite
This song just needs to play in the right movie and it will be eternal..
The next terminator or zombieland movie
Yea either opening scene or endin
This is my favorite song, and it probably has been since I first heard it playing in the TV.
Whenever I feel down, this is the song I listen to. Whenever I am filled with joy, this is the song I listen to.
It has so much meaning to me, and it is impossible for me to explain why!
I love this song, on so many levels.
Stay strong brother …I like replying to 6 year comments lol …peace out xx
Wow. Such a nostalgia. This song, many years ago, really helped me to get through the darkest times when i no longer saw any meaning im my life. Thank you guys for it 🙏🌈✌
Vedyot, Soldat, Vedyot. Its translated Russian. Best of luck to you my friend
Still a great track, haven’t heard this in years.
Rich Cupit me to pal
One of my all time favourites. Such a cool evening/night tune!
Hello dear
Oh boy this song was hard to google when all I could remember is Whoa oh oh something something America!

whole album is a winner
god i don't know where i know this song but i am thankful ! these notes from the beginning who continues after in the song... this is pure magic in my ears !!
America needing big love and prayers and this song so relevent right now!
This song gives me bitter waves of nostalgia. I remember my mum used to take me to this big indoor play centre with ball pits and slides and I remember this was playing on one of my visits there - it had just come out.

But now that's all gone and I am booking an MRI scan and am terrified that my whole life is going to be torn apart due to my health deteriorating. If ever there was a song that makes me cry it is this one. It holds so much value for me. Ahhhh man... why isn't time travel possible?

If you love this your English needs more work Kev.
This song is so true. I have spent my life watching America and there is always trouble and panic in America
Gun culture doesn't help, and the great divide of the haves, and have nots
Welcome back Razorlight....Keep rocking it!!! 😉😉😉
The cameraman has only one eye .......Little masterpiece of this era .....Love it !!!!
This song is wonderful, maybe people will appreciate it more soon.
I've known and grown with this song, I used to be on sing star with this song on the PlayStation 😂
It's just wonderful
(:
Who else had a dad that ''Forced'' me to love this..
I love them though ;)
+Lucy Rebecca Dapin my dad forced me to do other things :(
Oh my God. I have a video of my 4 year old self singing this with my dad 😂 I'm so glad he forced me to love it tho
So fucking true😂
+XxzakandgamesxX 😂😂😂
I was young, successful, listen that song and wish i could start new and fresh again! today i got 35 years
With good behaviour you'll be out in 20.
Didn’t they take your phone?
The nostalgia of this song is on ANOTHER level....
The band of my childhood,brings back memories of long summer car drives and genuine good times.
I finally found that nostalgic song that don't know why I know.
All I could remember is a single part of the MELODY.
I can now die peacefully.
We're all listening to this for the same reason. We all have it in our head for the same reason. I'm so tired.
This song is simply fantastic. I defy anyone who dosent like this. 16 Years on and it's still in my top 5.
it's sad to think songs don't sound like this now
There's the odd good song now and then though.. if thats what you mean. It is sad though.
People are quick to forget the bad songs yet quick to remember the good ones. There was an equal amount of trash coming out at the time this came out, and an equal amount of good stuff coming out at the moment, you just have to look a little harder.
Barney F i agree 100%
Barney F in the uk in 2006 rock was much more popular then than in 2014 now! I wish in the future 90's rock will come back.
***** It's barely changed in my eyes.
This song is by far one of my favourite of all time😊 got it stuck in my head out of nowhere the other day and can't stop listening to it!
2022.
I loved this tune back in the day but man it makes me feel old.. 😮.
40
I get this song, the lyrics, the vibe… what an amazing song ✌🏼
Holy shit... The childhood memories
I remember it from I was younger, then heard it on the radio, and all the memories came back :')
Masterpiece.
This was Number 1 15 years ago today, how time flies
This song always gave me a feeling of solitude and detachment from the world.Love this song:)
I remember this playing on the radio when we would get off at Dover on the ferry from Germany on my way to my grandmas. This and many bangers put my pre-pubescent self into a state of trance. And I appreciate finding these old songs. Especially as a weed smoker. My mind floods with nothing but positive memories of childhood.
Smoker to smoker, may nature bless you. Smoke the good shit my man
This song is STILL rocking it in 2022 - Johnny Borrell has such a brilliant voice. Very appropriate for 2022 for the whole world really!
2006 was the best year of my life
