Brilliant song, brilliantly sung. Great choice for "Happy Valley" series
Would be better sung if he dropped the fake American accent though.
It is
Wow!!! I just started watching Happy Valley and I had to look up the title song, it is so good! Never in my life would I have expected a 17-year old lad to be the artist behind this brilliant song. Totally blown away!
Hey I'm thrilled Soo down with you on this so the first 2 episodes of Happy Valley a year ago just hooked u yesterday at my library for the Third but the song didn't ring a bell.
Does he rock or WHAT Holey Cow I'm in love why in the world didn't any record company sign him up❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the song ever since I found it on Happy Valley and Jake's voice is brilliant very old school!
He's such a gifted boy.
Why are you commenting all of his videos?
Dirty Harry He's looking for a deeper reason. I could engage in stoning adulterers in Saudi Arabia and state the reason as "no law prohibits me from doing so", but that doesn't explain anything, does it?
***** He doesn't need a reason to comment on a UA-cam video. The comment section is open for anyone to use, and that's exactly what he's doing. Obviously he admires Jake's talent, and wants to express his admiration via the comment section. Is that a deep enough reason for you and Domingo F?
George Fleming Yeah.
Verdade
I just love the tone of his voice!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about the fake American accent though?
Very Bob Dylan
@@TheFakeyCakeMaker Who is actually from America
He looks a lot like a young Keith Richards. Very refreshing to see a talented kid like him. He has the musical maturity not seen in your typical teen.
It's amazing to think he recorded this in 2011 when he was around 17, amazing song writer and singer.
Jake himself revealed that this was just a run-through when they were recording - and it was perfect, so they used it.THAT's how bloody good he is.
The amount of classic and iconic songs that happen by accident will amaze you.
My friends still performing are obsessed with a 'professional' sound where I prefer to just let the vibe take me wherever it goes, generally take whatever comes out at the end and try and write something before I'm out of the moment.
In the 90's he would have been an idol
I dont understand how this kid isnt huge. I mean Im glad he isnt in a way. But man, what a talented kid.
+Chris Tompkins It doesn't make sense to me either.
20 mill net worth. He's doing fine.
he's got such an old sound to him... first time i listened to him i thought he was a 60s thing, dead and burried by now :p
gosh he's amazing
We got to see him live at the Station Inn (Nashville) 3 years back. He is incredibly talented and is the most humble young artist
The radio only plays auto tuned crap
I find his lyrics meaningful/soulful and his melodic sense is what's been missing from music for 30 years. I can't stand the way "Broken" was recorded - way too much reverb on the vocal but, yet, it puts in tears three bars in. Incredible
Fantastic song! Great talent. I found you through this song on ‘Happy Valley’!
You're saving our generation. Thanks !
Great song !!
I relate so much to this song because I live in a shit hole of a town.
EllieJayden Same here... it sucks but I love this song.
+EllieJayden Look on Google Rochdale, United Kingdom, have a look there, you'll say "that is worse than mine", I know this because Rochdale is the worse place to live in, in the United Kingdom, there's drunk people-druggys, you name it, its here, we even got hookers down in town. xD, maybe not so much hookers, well how am I to know, I don't go town late at night. XD
+Lokai Koyuki (LokiBoy) Rochdale is nowhere near the worst place to live in U.K you have lead a sheltered life if you really believe that. Rochdale is a great place to live.
im not the judge of all towns, I havnt been to all the towns to be able to judge them & I suspect you havnt either.
Hm, not really, out off Haywood and Rochdale, if you don't live in any of these places, you really wouldn't know, oh and Leeds. But every part of these places has their own 'gang' and Rochdale has a lot of kids running about cavving it up. But everywhere has Chavs.
Debut album released 10 years ago this year and I still play it! 😀
Happy valley ❤
❤
I've been waiting for music like this- to finally be proud of my generation's musical talents
Bloody fantastic, wouldn't shoot him down as a copy cat, the lad is only 17 and everyone has their inspirations, this guy is like a breath of fresh air these days even if he wouldn't have been 40 years ago music is quite circular like that. I cannot wait for his first album! im sure his own sound will develop more and more.
Just watched happy valley and could not get this song out of my head. I love it
People write that they heard it on 'Happy Valley' but I heard it for the first time on the unaired pilot of the American TV show 'Hatfields & McCoys' from 2013. It's here on UA-cam if you want to watch it. The idea was quite good but they should have made it a Western, and it would have been picked up by the network then, in my opinion. Anyway, brilliant song! Greetings from Poland!
Happy Valley finale on the 5th February 2023, anyone excited?
Me!
hereabouts on the 19th April 24. Repeated over the next 2 evenings.
Tyetye sign me up❤❤❤❤
Story of my life.. 😂I'm late oh well only for this comment stuff happy to be hook n up with the glad tidings of this beat
he is in his own league, one word AMAZING!
Please keep this sound in your newer songs it is amazing!
Happy Valley brought me here. This song is BADASS!
Can't say his music is exactly my taste but can't knock he's got an awful lot amount of talent. And this song in particular is stellar.
Man, I love the way this young man sings !... When I've heard this song for the first time, in my head came images from the cowboys movies... horses running, gun shooting, old bars, old western towns... Great singer !
All that is American though. He's from Nottingham so why the fake Southern US accent? .
I love the intro song and the series ,it’s awesome.🎼🦅🕊️✌️
the new guy who revives the good music!!!!
He's come a long way! I saw him in 2012, when he played 'The Den', the smallest stage at the Cambridge Folk Festival. He's headlining next year's Sunday night!
Got so much time for this guy. Reminds me of the music legends back in the day. Keep it up, may not get world famous, but you'll sure as hell get the respect from people who know real music.
everytime I watch 'Happy Valley' I think of this song!
+VantiveMan ikr
+VantiveMan Because it's the theme tune maybe?
+VantiveMan I don't like Jake Bugg but because it was on Happy Valley, i really don't mind it xD What a TV series, I cannot wait for series 3, if the make one.
+Liam Barlow Surely ..after that ending ...there HAS to be a 3rd series..... if the BBC can afford to commission it... otherwise Red Production Company may have to sell it to Amazon, Netflix, like happened to Ripper St...which then died............... PS I like Jake Bugg..like a young Dylan only a better singer and great lyrics...but not sure if he can progress...turn electric like Dylan did? Who knows?
+VantiveMan Season 3 has been confirmed :)
I recently discovered this guy because of Happy Valley. I live in Alabama and can't believe this kid is from England. His music reeks of Southern back roads and desperation.
Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting out
There's a tower block overhead
All you've got's your benefits
And you're barely scraping by
In this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Words do get 'round
Kick the bottom make troubles flee
Smoke until our eyes would bleed
Sparkle pop the seed
Hear the sirens down the street
The kids get light on their feet
Or they'll be in the back seat
In this trouble town
Troubles are found
Sitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon
If there's a beating in the rain
If there's a little bit of pain, man
You're the one it happens to
If I talk of getting out
I only hear the laughter loud
It's gotten ugly at home
Somewhere there's a secret road
To take me far away I know
But til then I am hollow
In this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Fools are found
Sitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon
If there's a beating in the street
If there's a feeling of defeat
You're the one it happens to
Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting out
If it wasn't for you I would not be able to sing this song because It is so long
Thanks 👍🏻🙂
I'm older than most of you guys (especially the band) but you know what - your voice grabbed me - raw/real/honest and the same feeling when I first heart Bob Dylan. Please keep going and keeping it real.
Thanks xx
@@unagordon1309 I actualy thought it was Bob Dylan!! Was shocked when I found out it wasn't lol
A decade later and it's still one of my favorite albums! 🤘🎶
I had to look who sang this!! Loved Happy Valley!!!❤ I’m a jake bugg fan and thought it was so cool it was him! Love British shows and all the actors I’ve gotten to live.
I have no idea what to do with my Monday mornings now that HV is over but listening to this helps. ☺️
In love with this song again after all this times. Thank you for all those great songs Jake ♡ Luv ya
i still don't know why he is not so popular ....... such a shame
+Aneddam Mouad u don't like him wow u need work
+Emma Hines and you need some reading lessons people in glass houses lol
two things - he is popular, and he’d be ruined by the media and fans if he was super popular and famous/he wouldn’t get his authentic style if he was extremely popular
Becoming popular isn't usually a good thing. Look at Kings of Leon.
his voice is great !
Amazing!! This kid is great and should be huge... Johnny Cash must be looking down with a big smile on his face :)
Solid songwriting, a song with balls about it well done the young uns the whole band are spot on.
Cant get enough of his album every song is fantastic.
Serious talent. Great to hear such a young lad play this kind of music. Its blues man!!
How can anyone dislike this, its been so long since we heard some good music instead of a quick finished half ass cover. Lots of festivals this year, hope I get to see him :D
The lyrics are great. How can one argue with "Stuck in speed bump city where the only thing that's pretty is the thought of getting out"? Or...."it's got an ugly echo"? This is the kind of stuff you'd hear on the back roads in the rural south. Raw, real and meaningful. Not just yelling and having a fit. It's telling a story with artistry and skill.
S Kirk it’s about Clifton, Nottingham in the east midland not the south
Love that stanza:
There's a tower block overhead
All you've got's your benefits
And you're barely scraping by
It really paints a picture of contemporary England; the misery of Orwellian living situations and the absence of any good jobs.
I try to avoid speed bumps because they make me spill my beer.
@@shapirothehero4818 He's referring to the American South. This style of music was born there.
Johnny cash from the north of cuntland
Love the fact his songs are short but sooo sweet it leaves you wanting more...
going to see him on his tour, and i really cant wait!
This will DEFINATELY bring decent music back into the charts!
Theme song to one of the best TV series EVER!
Could have gone for Chumbawamba or someone though, who actually sound Yorkshire rather than fake American.
absolutely brilliant - love that you can hear lots of amazing artists when he sings like, especially bob dylan. And the fact he's northern is great!
I love this so much, so much talent!! This guy is going places!!!
yeah boiiii!!! you got it right... please please be my next Dylan!!! don't lose your folk feel boy you are a freaking legend!!
He abandoned the folk :(
Meu Deus, como eu amo as músicas desse cara!
leticia dantas no English.
I hope this is a start of a trend. Our generation needs more talented musicians so far he's the only one I've found.
Universal themes. Unique voice. Hope he can capture this again.
Simplemente ¡fantástico! auténtico sonido de los 60. Mucha carrera musical le queda Mr. Bugg
Just discovered "Happy Valley" on Netflix (the despair was palpable) and heard this song...so I slid over here to YT...and dammit this guy's good...I'm now a fan.
Same 🙂
Series 3 just started on our BBC - an acclaimed drama - lives up to its praise - and yes Jake is still playing with the cover tune.- trouble town.
This youngin Rocks it out!! Amazingly Heartfelt words and voice...
12 years later and still one of the best albums truly the bob dylan of our generation
Happy Valley brought me here! Love it :-).
Me too. Never heard of him b4. But then like his songs.
We need this music. This can soothe the savagery, even if for a moment. Bring us back to the vinal record era of Moody, Neil, Beatles, Cat, and Ted.
Get er done youngin!
Best Artist and singer of the whole world ✨
Terrific. Keep playing.
At the risk of sounding patronising,
I am well chuffed that your sound is so real, authentic and from Clifton. I like your style Mr Bugg. I thought you came across really well on The Graham Norton Show... Humble with lovely manners.
Maybe we can have a jam one day.
How can the sound be real when he sounds American? He's from Nottingham
Spectacular
This talented fellow has all the makings of a John Lennon in the making, just waiting to blossom. Imaginative lyrics, strong melody line, pertinent subject matter, all the necessary ingredients of a great talent.
I'm sick of listening to older music and wishing I was around when it first came out..then I heard of Jake Bugg..glad to be 15 in 2012 now!
She got her happy ending ❤
me encata Jake Bugg mi artista favorito ;)
His music is life in all its indifference
Jake, please come to New York!!! We need you here!
way ahead of his age
+Ray Barnes S A D B O I S
me agrada mucho su voz :)
I'm in love with his music
seriously amazed at his talent , like honestly I'm baffled 🙌💯
he opened for the black keys, he blew me away.
Happy Valley
Finaly! I'm totaly freaked out of this guy. Rock on!
My mom is from Cambridge, my dad is from New York. I grew up going back and forth between the US and the UK. Love this song, reminds me of my childhood.
I came here because of Happy Valley BBC One.
Such a good show!
That's the point, under the surface of a supposedly happy, small Calder Valley community where everyone knows each other, lies rape, murder, kidnapping, conspiracy and drug addiction. A brilliant series and a perfect choice for theme song.
Yeah, me too. I thought the singer was female and American..... :o
Me too
Charlie25188 Me too.
Good show but I found myself hanging out for the music over the credits.
Always great to find 'new' talent (I'm 50 soon so I might be a bit slower at catching up with more recent stuff because I have to listen to my old favourites as well.
It's been The Psychedelic Furs and The Blue Nile that I've been bingeing on again lately.
Great song , great voice. The new Jhonny Cash!!!
No, the first Jake Bugg.
Kate Boe Bate couldn't have said it better myself!
Fantastic song! Love it!
Wonderful talented young man, mixes blues and skiffle, but uniquely. Wonderful stuff.
handsome !! from brasil bjokas
son of The Beatles
Finally found an inspiring artist from my home city! Thank you Jake Bugg!
great song! one of my favorites
I think the Beatles would like him
He’s more similar to Bob Dylan
We all live in the yellow submarine!!..
Elizabeth Windsor exactly they loved the folk bob dylan
Bob Dylan
I mean buggs need to stick together right. Jk lol
Thought Jake Bugg was just another teen pop shit person, using Bob Dylan influences as a "coolness veil" (my own little phrase). But this song is genuinely great (it does help that it was the Happy Valley theme tune, gives him more credibility to be associated with a show like that)
I agree with you :) this music singer is awesome
You young people judge too fast!
Don't be nasty
At least he knows who Bob Dylan was and good he took his inspiration from him. Now take Jake Bugg for who he is and his own music. Thankfully still young musicians who take songwriting seriously. Jake Bugg will stay in music.
Paul Weller cool at times Jake!
it"s the best what I heard last year and also mumford &sons.
It has a cool 60's feel to it
Dear Universal music Group.
I am special agent Bugg, I have successfully infiltrated the hearts and minds of those who you have failed to win over in the past. By posing as the arch-nemesis to the mass-produced pop and pretending I'm an authentic and "real" song writer, I have convinced these people that I am the saviour of music. They are yet to realise that I am massively manufactured to present this image.
By criticising others for not writing their own songs, I have successfully distracted them from my 3 man team of songwriters who assisted me in writing "my" songs. The image you carefully manufactured for me, has been a huge success, and those who question me are considered to not know "real music" thanks to the self-perpetuating myth of my genius. A myth you and the NME created, I thank you again for that.
Adding noises to my record to make it sound poorly recorded and "real" has endeared me to millions. They are yet to realise that this makes my music just as manufactured as the pop songs they despise. My carefully chosen words and persona in interviews has convinced them that I am the answer to the problems in modern music and that I am the new Bob Dylan (even with my 3 man team of co-writers!).
My songs about having a tough life, drugs, the police etc have made them forget that I am only a child and my only experience of any of these things was in my grand theft auto video game. Also, thank you for vetoing my suggestion of a song about the very hungry caterpillar, I appreciate now that my life must be presented in a certain way to win their affection. My tales of a "terrible" life growing up in a first world country with food, water, shelter and an education was another master-stroke. They think I've had a hard life and this makes them like me even more. They surely do not know the meaning of a hard life.
Your mission has been a success, we have pulled the wool over their eyes. The decline of genuine song writers throughout the land has been assured, they are condemned to playing in pubs for another 10 years. I hail your glorious victory
Yours
special agent Bugg
( I can't take credit for this, i got this from a review on Amazon. Credit where its due)
“I’m Catherine, by the way. I’m 47, divorced. I live with me sister who’s a recovering heroin addict. I’ve two grown up children. One dead, one I don’t speak to and a grandson, so...”
“Why? Why don’t he speak to ya?”
“It’s complicated. Let’s talk about you.”
Exactly!
Awesome iconic couple of lines....
Catherine... Fair play to you!
I'm Leanne. I'm 33 and living on my parents sofa after a whole string of shit! I honestly salute you! Just the fact that you are here now to even touch upon your story is amazing 😍
Just keep going.... Eventually, things get better!
@@leannem4601 The quote from “Catherine” is from the first episode of Happy Valley, a British crime drama. “Trouble Town” is the theme song. It’s brilliant. Today’s the series finale on BBC.
@mark k absolutely love that series... One more to go! Yeah.... Jake Bugg - trouble town 👌 great track! And of course... Catherine! Excellent intro! Haha! But honestly... That's real for so many and I really do applaud it!
Honestly refreshing for this day and age
OMG! This song is EVERYTHING!!! LOVE!
It says its not available in my country. The 1234567990th reason to move to England.
why england? you can watch it anywhere else in the world except for your country:P or just block your ip...
I'm in America and I can watch it. Where are you?
Kate Hettinger me? argentina. or just block your ip
Jackie H Get a VPN
he's cute has a good voice, he's like the perfect man
Shame didnt discover this before as it is such a good song. But Happy Valley brought me here and is an absolutely bloody good series! i recommend it.
His music is like a throwback.
We've had another tussle....I won....Obviously
