Lyrics:
Take me down, 6 underground,
The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go,
Nowhere a way to meet.
I've got a head full of drought, down here
So far off losing out, round here,
Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace.
Calm me down, bring it round,
Too way high off your street,
I can see like nothing else,
In me you're better than I wanna be.
Don't think 'cos I understand, I care,
Don't think 'cos I'm talking, we're friends,
Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace.
Talk me down, safe and sound,
Too strung up to sleep,
Wear me out, scream and shout,
Swear my time's never cheap.
I fake my life like I've lived; too much,
I take whatever you're given; not enough,
Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace.

The 90's will always be "ten years ago".
At most
90th were the best.
Best movies & music & comedy & ...
Well, The last time I saw a Native American on the screen was probably in 90th.
It was so good, we killed it.
🥲👴🏼
Damn straight
Seems like last week. Everything was so futuristic. Now they stopped making stuff
For those of us that are old enough, this song evokes memories of a time and world that no longer exists.
Saudade my friend.
Exactly
Truth
Facts my friend, things weren't good they were great.
and for the rest of us, it gives us a channel to escape to that place the best we can
A classic. The 90’s was a golden era.
In the big scheme of things, I'm not sure there were many better years than 1997. Relative peace, perfect 90s pop culture vibes, and just fun. Now it seems like it was the last gasp of greatness before everyone kind of went insane.
I can not agree more.
Exactly
Well said. Very well said.
facts 💯
Western hemisphere? Yeah. Elsewhere? There were still many problems. Those grew into bigger global problems. I miss the mid to late 80s into the 90s and early 2000s. But in reality others suffered horribly. Hong Kong went back to China, Al Qaeda blew up that embassy in Kenya, George W. Bush was about to become U.S. president...
Never. Ever. Ever. Do I get tired of hearing this song. Just a stone cold classic!
There is another version of this song that is the raw mix. It is much punchier and I believe a better version that this one.
There's a lot more good stuff on that record!
Exactly this
One can get tired of this. Especially when it was played on the radio once every hour and then once every 30 minutes at night.
Please upvote this so that I never get TIRED! This is a great ‘Good Night’ song🌙 and would also make a beautiful ‘Good Morning’ song☀️ Bless
Still listening and I'm 64 YO....good things never die!
UA-cam is the closet thing we have to a time machine !
I am eternally grateful I was 16 in 1994 and 20 in 1998. Those four years were absolutely amazing in music. Every single week there was at least one awesome single
I was 22. Had my own money. Could go to bars. And this music was everywhere. Such a great time to be young.
In 97 I think kelli signed my jeans
Can't imagine what you were going through during this time. I was a bit too young during this time. But, i know in my teens i would remember the song vividly.
Yup. I was 16 in '94 too. Now all I do is look back and wish I could return. Every nostalgic song like this hits hard. Depression gives you tunnel vision. You just wish you could step back into your younger self. Do it all again but through hindsight, skip the parts that hurt the most. The 90s is definitely my go-to for music🤘🏻
What a great decade to be a teenager, musically speaking.
Dear 1990s, We fucked up, will you take us back?
😂👍
Please, baby 🙏 please!😂
I suspect this is meant to be a throw away line. But it is in fact powerful because most of todays semihumans would not be self aware enough or have the humility to even get close to saying this
LOVE this,..
✌️❤
The sting....of getting old........but the song never will.
LONG LIVE THE 90s.
One of those songs that makes you 120% more cooler than anyone on the planet just by listening to it.
Word
Obviously!
Boom!
You the man 😎
Dig it!!TiT!!
Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack, Portishead, Morcheeba, and Moloko were some of my favs of trip hop. 6 Underground is so relative with me.
We can now add Panchiko to the list
Thank you for the round up! I have looked for good trip hop, but always come up wanting, and just continue listening to Portishead.
Don't forget Smoke City!!!
Thanks for the line up. Always open to cool music.
Yes!!!
I remember catching this video on mtv at like 2:00 in the morning, 1996 or 1997. It was one of those rare gems that I knew by just one listen that it would be a favorite for my whole life.
Remember the torture of having to wait until you could get to a record store and buy the cd so you could hear it again?! Looking back, that’s what made it so special :)
I had several VHS tapes full of music videos that I would record in the middle of the night so that me n my sister could jam the next day after school 😅
Finally, an official upload!
A 1990s trip-hop masterpiece.
Even in 2022 this song is amazing and hasn't aged at all!
1997 The Saint turned me to her ...Val Kilmer Elisabeth Shue scene..John Berry Golden Girl ..Gold Finger James Brown Sample ...
@@CP-kb1du One dope DJ in Dallas back in 96-or 97 played this and Im still here too!
I’d bet they haven’t age at all as well..
@@CP-kb1du The Saint for me too. There were one or two other greats in there as well. Great movie, one of my favs.
One of my favorite lines from Kilmer's russian clone: "You know what the hardest part of being you is? Pretending to be so bad in bed." lol
@@Nee_Rizen Because, Vampires, right?
"Don't think cos I understand, I care" - top lyric of 1997
The last time period to have its own identity not just defined by what technology exists.
My brain has never left 90's dimension, every time I hear timeless classics from the 90's I am transported back in time/home. 💞👌😊👍
I know what you mean - God I miss the 90's
Same here. Strange how a song/memory can produce actual chills, tears, and what have you.
Couldn't have put it better myself, an era of brilliant brit pop hits from sneaker pimps to sleeper, bluetones, blur, pulp, gene, oasis, longpigs, chumbawanba and many many others, great times
Me with y2k
Same 👍
I’m so glad I grew up in the 90’s, there’s no better time to be alive.
Except the 80’s, I grew up during both. The 90’s had their moments for sure, but the 80’s can’t be touched .
This whole album takes me back 25+ years
@@Aglassact77 I always like to say take 1980 - 1998 and just loop It forever.
1995 music started to die and could say about films to
90s was the last great decade
This song is still a total vibe after all these years.
I love "total vibe" going to use it in my vocabulary.
😊
This was a great time to be in your 20’s.
Oh yes! Prime party years. Born in '71. Take me back, please!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
One of the best songs ever and the original lead singer had an incredible look and voice
Kelly Ali still looks good in 2023!
She quit the band after the debut album. Reminds me of Drivers Seat. A forever song from a band you know of no other songs. I wish I had a whole collection of music at this level.
In the class of Aphrodite's Child, Astrud Gilberto, B52s, Beck, Lowdown, Wicked Game, I Feel Love, and many others that will be heard for an eternity.
@@chadkline4268 And HOOVERPHONIC🎶🤟🌠
indeed
Kelli Ali has a UA-cam channel, but hasn't posted in about 3 years.
www.youtube.com/@kelliali/videos
Wow, I was 16 in 1996 when Mtv was playing this and Mtv was Mtv, now I'm 42 and still listening to this...Memories!
I was 20 in 1996 and this song just is mesmerizing. So good and will never be replicated in any form ever again. Just EPIC!
@@brewcitydivers1954 Facts!
Same here 43
class of 97
Me too!! Damm 96 was such a great year for music and just a great time to be a teen! Great times!
@@luiso.9103 On my way to 43, class of 98!
i so wish i could have experienced the 90s much older than i was
We could say that Sneaker Pimps are very underrated.. But we just feel very lucky to be able to listen to their music for years...
You could...but then someone would ask you exactly what they're "rated" and you probably wouldn't have an answer.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks The answer is 8.
Everything that ever happened is underrated
I continue to follow Kelli to this day- she is an Angel and a most gracious artist to her fans- don’t know if I’ve ever felt so endeared to any artist and she’s becoming quite the painter and sketch artists in the last several years as well - wish her every happiness in the world for what her voice has contributed to my life ❤
gorgeous voice.
Yeah, makes you wonder why in the hell they fired her after this album /shrug
People in today's age (2023) have yet to learn how powerful this song was back in the 90s. It indeed was a masterpiece for its time and highly loved.
I have just discovered it 2 weeks ago and I can imagine, it hits pretty hard these days too!
I’m 55 and still love it. Kelly rocks. From an 80s metal head
i discovered it a few months ago, im 20 and i wish i got to experience it when it came out
I'm 19 and I freaking vibe to this! I can visualize myself in 97' NYC chilling in a taxi ride on a rainy night as I gaze upon the skyscrapers, including the World Trade Center. Idk, the year 1997 screams that vision of NYC to me. Pretty dope ngl.
Fucking oath, mate!
Waves of nostalgia crash over me when I hear this song!
Exact feeling I get it so weird.
Me too. So many ecstacy pills and wild parties. My life is amazing. I had a few bad years. It is all coming back on line now.
Omg me too hella 😭🥲
@@rushtonsedberry4734 haha same here.. I’m sober now.. life is better
1996 was the best year ever. The peak of our civilization. Peace yall. Never stop dancing.
An absolute solidly chill banger. Whenever I need a proper trip back, it’s my song for the journey. Still amazing now…
Oh christ this tune is 27 years old and still sounds top
I love the way they used the sample from the Goldfinger musical score. Proper nostalgia-inducing song.
Trip hop is still underrated.
Word
Word is bond...word is bond
Bull.
Kelli Ali is absolutely mesmerizing in this video. Those eyes are melting my screen.
Funny that, her name was Dayton when I knew her.
Mine too!
@@HappyBear376 Yep, when they were together I think.
Kelli Dayton
She's absolutely gorgeous 😍
Gorgeous and mesmerizing…and the song is insanely good…but she can’t sing for shit.
Love her snagletooth
I remember like it was just yesterday waking up turning on MTV and getting ready for school while the tv is blaring at 5:30 in the morning.😂😎
I'm a 90's kid but this passed me by, it seems. Glad to have found it now, it's so good!
One of my favorite music videos of all time, I will never get tired of these visuals
Especially Mr. Gorgeous in black. Wow.
ikr.....there's an underlying sexiness about it.
For me, it was the long legs on Laura Prepon behind the glass towards the end of the video that always had my attention, at least when the gorgeous Kelli Ali wasn't also onscreen. God I miss my 20s.
I always did love the parody of suburbia that was a thing in the 90s
This song has the perfect chill vibe.
For me the 90s were great, I had a prime time life it just sucks that things are bad now. There was peace, I had peace in my family, I had friends, independence, happiness. I just wish I can go back to that time where everyday I had happy to wake up. I want to go back and never come back
Everyone has music that defines their generation. And each generation believes their music is the best. Fair enough. Therefore, please note - This is the music of my generation, and it is the best music. Let me repeat that statement - This is the best music.
Today's young people can listen to whatever they find on net - not necessarily to the music produced recently.
They often do not even listen to radio or watch TV - it was different when I was young - others selected for me what to listen to much more.
I doubt my children will refer to a music produced today as to music of their generation - I doubt they would remember any.
Even if I let our TV tuner on, they switch it to a music channel rotating music from 80s or 90s...
They switch it to this even when I had selected some "party tunes" with today's "generics" (and resampled simplifications of the originals), to feel younger :)
I testify they actually do prefer this older music (under NO pressure) and they are all teenagers... but still it could be they are not representative for the today's young generation...
It’s hard for peeps these days to realise how huge acts like Tricky, Portis Head Head and Sneaker Pimps were in the Nineties, I never got to see any of them live but I did see Massive Attack and Lamb a couple of times.
I got to see live: Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Lamb, Morcheeba, Ruby, Attica Blues, Beth Orton… great times!
I would've loved to see them live. Also don't forget about Flogging Molly 😁
Trip hop had a pretty brief heyday but its influence stretched everywhere.
Just heard the Pimps latest album. Its great!
Best years.
Best games & best music & movies & best everything.
I remember listening Rock & Industrial & D&B & Rap & ....
We had everything & everything was allowed.
If I had a time machine, i would definitely go back to 90th.
F@ the Future. It's dark & unpleasant.
There were never the better times & will never be.
Love the Goldfinger samples. John Barry!
One of my all time favorite songs, grew up listening to it throughout the 90s and ever since. It's the smoothest thing under the sun. I just wanted to put this message out there while I'm still alive and say thank you for this fantastic melody.
This song is bittersweet at best. It evokes a memory of a better time in this world... before 9/11... and long before Covid.
The clubs in NYC, LA and Miami... The hope for a new future and tomorrow. People danced with each other and nobody was on their phone 24/7.
The female leads in the 90's were really rocking it... and music was shifting gears in 95/96... and yet, here we are, and this song remains the same... super cool, always.
Jonathan, I hear you. I feel similarly, but I also believe that people had the same problems back then as we have today, just caused by different things.
We were on the cusp of a new age, literally astrologically speaking, when you and I were enjoying our fruitful and intellectually nourishing popular culture 30 years ago. I personally swam in it as deeply and joyously as I possibly could.
What I've learned since then is that the ages of our lives, of history, have feathered edges. They overlap as the current one wanes and the next waxes. This creates chaos. This is where we are. The new age really began to mount about a decade ago, and the time of chaos is nearing its nadir. It might not be pretty, but it is as it has always been.
I hope we (people our age, about 45-50) will get to see the promise of our youth fulfilled, as teachers, guides, as those who _remember._ We'll be needed.
Remember, Jonathan.
@@peachmelba1000 🙏
The acoustic guitar riff in this is so effin’ addictive and gorgeous!! Amazing how a simple guitar riff made this song so inspiring and cool.
Look up "Golden Girl" by John Barry from the Goldfinger soundtrack (yes, the James Bond movie). They've spotted a killer sample and expanded it to its full potential.
@@Leo-sd3jt thank you, kind sir!
It's just F#maj and Amaj repeated!
@@falcoperegrinus82 yeah! In a genius way! Whoever the original composer is, he sold his soul to the devil! Hahaa
I am here in 2024😊
I remember thinking when I first saw this video, back in the day, that the singer had this vampire vibe going on. Yup, she definitely has that vibe. And the song is great. They get right into that awesome mellow groove and they stay with it all the way through. excellent.
How do you know she's not? 🤣
@@JSolar590 haha
I've always found myslef fascinated by her mouth and teeth they have drawn me in for years. I find it hard to watch everything else going on in the video. She is pure, innocent and beautiful.
@@randomrees-a.k.adabonthis5745 right? Back in the day I knew a woman in Alberta with similar big-ass canines. It was hard not to stare...
Kelly Ali is just awesome
90s, come back! We miss you, need you!
Sneaker Pimps is back reclaiming the throne!
Slowly grinding my teeth while my eyes rolling back in my head , loving every touch. Kinda miss those days.
you had that bomb ex, huh?
@@bajohnnie Big Time.
@@Albert-the-Astro sounds like some deadly Molly bro
When I say I want 90s vibes, this is exactly what I want
Can't get over how sonically pleasing this song is. Its truly one of the greats.
I love this song sooooo much!!!! So many memories of seeing this video late night on MTV back in the 1990s....💗💗
Sneaker Pimps is probably the most impeccable, underrated alternative rock groups of the 90s hands down.
Trip hop is the fuckin best
One of the greatest songs of all time! There's no other song on earth that makes me feel like this one does.
This track just make me cry out of joy man...I cant
If I could just go back to 96. Best time of my life.
im grateful to have livved through the 90s, best music ever!
Hear hear!
I clubbed it, remember most of it! ;')
I have the og Abercrombie & Fitch official store music from this time period. It is so good. I worked there.
I only wish I went harder into the fray!
I was wondering why this had so few views, and then saw that it was only uploaded a month ago. nice to see theres a UA-cam presence for this band at least for this song. when it was released in the states, it was one of those breath of fresh air experiences to hear it, because radio was still a prevalent way to hear music (outside of vh1 and mtv which I didnt watch). it made a big impression even if it wasnt marketed as well as other hit songs. what else to say, always loved the song.
It has 828,279 views as of this date - April 5th, 2023. Not bad for a band who was swallowed whole by No Doubt, Garbage, Celine Dion, and Alanis Morissette. They probably were more popular in Europe, but in the U.S., they got lots of airplay without lots of sales. I didn't hear a peep from them a year after this video came out. But maybe I was just watching the wrong video channel (VH-1).
This song is ... the 90s vibe💯 !
Voice, OSCar synthesizer, drums, guitar : everything sounds wonderful !
Thank you for this masterpiece 🤩
I'm addicted to this kind of darkness! ❤
This girl have something special .... her voice ....her face .... her mouth.... I don't know but she's indeed a very beautifull girl singing an amazing song 😍😍
one of the best experimental songs from the 90s. classic and original.
The album is good too.
One of my all time favorite tracks. Incredible. Still nothing like it ever.
It’s like this song has been in the background of my entire life. Timeless
Take me down
6 underground
The ground beneath your feet
Laid out low
Nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet
I've got a head full of drought
Down here
So far off of losing out
Round here
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
Calm me down
Bring it round
Too way high off your street
I can see
Like nothing else
In me
You're better than I wannabe
Don't think 'cos I understand
I care,
Don't think 'cos I'm talking
We're friends
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
Talk me down
Safe and sound,
Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out
Scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much,
I take whatever you're given, not enough
Overground, watch this
Space, I'm open
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much,
I take whatever you're given, not enough
Overground, watch this
Space, I'm open
To falling
From grace.
Yes but what does it mean
Used think she sang: I live my life like I bleed, too much......
@@TM-vh9ou if I remember rightly… I walked into a tent they were playing in ( at a festival) just as she said “this is another song about sex” and then they played this!
So I guess it’s about sex!
I can't believe it's been 25 years! This was my 95 anthem
1996.
One of my favorite songs and first song I heard from you all. Absolute smash hit. Brings back such great memories from the 90s ❤️
Dam I miss the 90s the best times of my life
forty years from now this will sound even better!
A song with a special charisma. Great sound.
90s classic - so beautiful ❤️
Fave from the time, her soothing voice, difficult times, introspective, so unique and never ages :)
Wow. Instant flashback to my freshman year of college. I knew so little about the world back then.
yeah, well, the world knows so little about itself, right?
This tune is one of the best tunes from back in the day,and I still have it on my fav tunes on my phone,never get tired of it. One extra point,background music from the movie Goldfinger was sampled on this track,took my years to figure that out,before Google and all that,,……..I’m old,but this track still makes me feel young!!🤣🤣☝️
Peak 90s 🤗 literally just took me allll the way back after like 30 years of not hearing this song. Wow.
Remembering a time when I was profoundly unsure of the future, profoundly happy and energetic, and profoundly depressed and anxious. This song fit the state of my mind perfectly. Looking back now we know it was 1997 so it was all going to turn out alright.
damn this song takes me back, still sounds great
Such a brilliant track - and a great album. But honestly Kelli is the reason i keep watching this. She ws magnetic, impossibly beautiful and a dental fantasy - they lost everything when they told her to go and sank without trace. But some very special moments
Nice sounds
Dental fantasy? I admit that I think there's something up with her teeth but I don't fantasize about them.
Damn, this video is so crystal clear it's absolutely amazing, LONG LIVE THE AMAZING 90's FOREVER AND EVER🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️THE GREATEST DECADE EVER
Timeless and just as amazing as I remember 💖
The James Bond horns, the beat, the every thing about this ...pure enjoyment
The video is peak 90s and transports me back with its imagery! 🙌🏾
The song is timeless, absolutely awesome from the beat to the vocals👌🏾
I first heard this song in 1996 when I lived in Los Angeles at a record store where you could listen to sample songs from cd's I immediately bought the album!!! Still great to hear and watch!
1997 The Saint soundtrack Val Kilmer ...Elisabeth Shue scene
I mss going to Tower Records and listening to album snippets and browsing the endless racks of cd's and magazines! Spent hours there in the 90s!
First time I heard this song...I was driving to work at 6am. It came on 88.1 KTXT, Texas Tech radio station. It was Becoming X official debut and I was instantly in love with the beat...but especially Kelli's voice. Bought the CD that evening...and loved EVERY song.
I lucky to have lived in those times. I come here to go back in time. I remember staying up late to watch AMP on MTV.
I’m obsessed with this song!! It never gets old.
I'm watching this video right now, basically crying, wishing that I could go back to the 90s... that attitude of that era, the griminess and the edginess. Unfortunately, given the way Society is today, we will never have another decade like the 90s again, and it just crushes me.
There will be decades just like the 90's for another set of people, just not us, because in the end it is not the decade we miss as much as it was our youth in that space and time.
@@LastvanLichtenGlorieNo.. I'm sorry. Anyone can miss their youth. The 90s were truly a time of their own that are unable to be repeated because of a global loss of innocence. This song touches me because it brings up feelings of yearning and wanting and aloneness (not to be confused with solitude or loneliness). Things have been speeded up to a point where such a feeling will forever be unknown to anyone who didn't already experience it.
@JennaCrispino Jenna, when we were young at that time, history was literally shifting into a new age. We were the party at the end of an age.
What's happening now is a consequence of that age ending and another beginning. It's always been this way. When two ages crossfade, as one waxes and one wanes, there is a period of chaos.
This is where we are, where we have been for nearly 25 years, but take heart. I promise you the chaos will diminish, but it's going to get messy.
And after, we, meaning our age group, will have the privilege to fulfill the promise of our youth, as ones who remember.
Jenna, remember, okay?
??? !!! Ha Ha why do you all wax poetic about the past so stupidly?.Right here right now is what's most important ! Enjoy the present!
If you voted for Tony Blair’s mass immigration and share holder capitalism then you can shed as many tears as you like on your Now that’s what I call the 90s compact disc…. You get what you fucking deserve….
Amazing beat, an that sultry voice. 😻
Never listened to this song with headphones before. The layering of sounds is amazing.
So much better with headphones, there is so much nuance and so many intricacies in the tune I never get tired of hearing it
Love the '90s, a most unique decade especially the music and I was already 33 when it rolled around.
Nunca me cansare de escucharla, de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida.
Nunca me cansaré de ver este vídeo!!!
I love Kelli Aly's style and voice. She is such a natural beauty and she has aged very well. ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolute musical jewel 🤩
This just popped up on my youtube feed. I forgot how good this song was!
This song brings back such nostalgia for me. 🖤
Memory unlocked!!!!!
This is what we grew up with. True beauty. Real beauty. Love this song son much and her.
The singer is beyond adorable. I could probably watch her sing for hours and not grow bored. True definition of enchanting!!
