Funny story, I heard this once on the radio on Indie 103.1 while driving through Orange County one night back in 2004. You know how you’ll hear a song, and it’s a good song and you sort of figure: well yeah I’ll hear this again. Only thing I never did. and I liked the song. So after many years I was like: ok … did I just imagine the song? What was that band? What was that song? I was in my early 20’s at the time, and was on my way to work a catering event, had the song stuck in my head all night, and it was a very meaningful time in my life. Now please understand. I searched for it in the Limewire days back in the 2000’s. Searched through many playlists from that era over time. Then with Spotify I scrolled searched thousands of songs. Finally I gave up on looking for it. Then one day this year in 2024 I decided to try again after finding a commercial I had been trying to find for years. Later that day I was driving in Waipahu in Hawaii, and listening to music. First song: not it, then I skipped through another couple songs; not it. Here we go again, I thought, not at all expecting to find it. Then I started playing the next song. About twenty seconds in was like: no way! This is it! This is actually it! I searched twenty years for this song. How delightfully obscure and underground. Bravo
What an amazing song. Loved it instantly as soon as the guitar kicks at the start, it's like, oh yes this is going to be great. Just discovered this band this is the first song I listened to. Completely addicted now. Best British band of the last 10 years!
i first heard of them when i was looking at the line-up rumours for reading 2008. waving flags was the first of their songs i watched the music vid on youtube. love in an instant
I love this song,the record, everything.The video is wonderful,amazing ,I don't have words."British Sea Power" is one of my favourite bands . I can't wait for the third record. Zaida from Argentina
@@lagranmosqueta802 Siii paso tanto tiempo,no tengo ni idea en qué anda BSP ahora 😮 el otro día en un InstagramLive de The Killers los nombraron (fueron banda soporte de ellos en su momento)y yo dije British Sea Power te acordas 😆

I Agree with you,British Sea Power is a fantastic band,with fantastic records,especially the first one (my favourite),and even so,they don't any credit,I think I am the only person who knows this band in Argentina haha.
Oh take me somewhere quiet please These motorway exit gates Are calling to me dearly And I need a place to go And even numbers on a timetable Arrivals and departures and Those places' names Never seemed so strange before If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush? There's no point in asking if it wasn't enough There's nobody else here, so please stand up If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush? There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough There's nobody else here, so please stand up The occultation of a summer sun Was burning holes in everyone Defenceless, what was left inside could finally escape It seemed as if the streets had melted It seemed as if the air was scented I wish all of time could be like this If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush? There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough There's nobody else here, so please stand up Oh oh, oh my love If there's anyone asking, did you get a rush? There's no point in asking, it wasn't enough There's nobody else here, so please stand up And then all of the sudden it's all better better A little excitement makes us wetter wetter Oh my love Again, again, again, again my love
@neverno0 This band's ability to inhabit whole different sounds so effortlessly just based on the songs they've written at the time, going from indie pop sounds like here (Open Season) to soundtracks (Man of Aran) to balls-out post-punk (Decline), never ceases to amaze me.
@rodders2000 I agree with what you say in absolute totality. It's just when you say they never "got" the credit they deserve. They still may. They undoubtedly deserve to be heard a great deal more than they have been over the past 7 years. Can't bloody wait for a new album from them. Man of Arran was a nice piece of work, but I'd like to see a regular non-soundtrack album from them again pretty sharpish!
Did I just make a really low quality rip of my copy of "Open Season", or is this version of the song much richer than the one found on the album? I have to get the CD out to check now (low tech here I come!)

@CamersonLowery Oh really? I never knew that! I was born yesterday, and know nothing of what gies on in the world...I am perfectly aware of Americans speeling things differently (wrong), but being who I am, I intensely dislike spelling mistakes, and as you can see, commenting on them generally makes for a humo(u)rous outcome! But I thank you for your concern about my supposed lack of worldly knowledge.
@Ogtriff Thanks for clearing that up for me. I don't think that Americans seem to forget it as much as I believe that they don't care in the first place. The only people who really bring up such things any more are, well....the British. See, we've moved on.
@njdevil281 Yes, you've won the argument. Victory for you. Parades will be held in your honor across the nation and you can expect your certificate in the mail. You'll need to sign it, though. Hope you won't need help with that one.
@polarisrex You seem to like correcting spelling mistakes - an admirable pastime, but only if you don't make them yourself. 'Honor' should be spelled: 'Honour'.
@Ogtriff What purpose did it serve by opting to "gently comment" on my spelling? You need to learn to pick your battles more wisely. Your beliefs are exactly that, and the fact that you understand them to be truth is a testament to your lack of insight here. Again, you're not the authority on America....just as I'm not the authority on the British. I'm sorry it's beneath someone like you to swear. It sets an example for all of us. In my heart of hearts, I wish I was more like you.
@Ogtriff why make idiotic generalisations about a country with 300 million individuals? Americans differ from state to state, city to city and subculture to subculture. It's probably one of the most diverse countries in the world. And I'm an Indian born Australian.
@polarisrex Very Anglo-centric. Not your fault, but I'm not so keen on Yanks...They always seem to forget we made America in the first place...Most certainly not ill-informed, *sir*.
@polarisrex I came on here to just gently comment on your spelling, not to be sworn at by a random person I don't know, or care to know. Here is what I want to say: America is the only nation in history which has miraculously gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilisation. Oh, and no one can be as calculatedly rude as the British, which amazes Americans, who do not understand studied insult and can only offer abuse as a substitute. Hence your swearing...
@polarisrex That's also true, but I shall continue to belittle America all I want. I accept that I am not the foremost authority on America, and there is more to some of you than cursing and violence. Again, however, you degrade this whole argument by pointlessly swearing in a pathetic attempt to either frighten me off or make yourself look 'cool' to all the other (dare I say it?) Americans out there who are in to "cursing". Be careful how you bandy words, or you may meet with a harsh peripetaia

I had this strong urge to listen to this song today. I don’t know why, but I’m glad that I suddenly remember this.
Oh man brings me back, saw these guys live, opening for The Killer in 2004

I adore this album.
such an underrated band... they are really talented
thank u disco elysium, let me know this wonderful band
So underrated have always been in my top ten list
What a superb band...
I have always loved this song, apocalypse playlist...
Blissfully good. This band is better than anything I've heard in ages.
I love this song

Sea Power now....o well, this song is still an anthem!
I'm glad that people still like the band I know the name change is unnecessary and stupid but I'm glad some people can over look it :)

Drape yourself in greenery; become part of the scenery.
Wonderful song from the mighty 'Sea Power'. No longer 'British' but 'Internationalist' apparently.
why this song met so little success ?
does anyone else listening in 2021?
@polarisrex Well at least we can agree on that. Thank you.
Gorgeous, amazing, huuuuge... anyone got the chords by any chance??? they're nowhere on the net...
Bob or Bill. Dunno, who cares? It's the music that matters!
not the only one, hola!
What's the brand of the guitarist's blue shirt?

@polarisrex Well, I think that heritage is important, and while we're here: what exactly has America (and Americans) moved on to?
@topiltzinitli yes
Thanks God!Hola! :)
@CamersonLowery Oh really? I never knew that!

Sheldon is that you!?
2023?
They are amazing, I can see why Argentinians would shy away from a band with their name though!!!!
I think BSP go by the name "The Malvinas" in Argentina ... same deal as The Beat going with "The English Beat" in the U.S.
I'm also drunk and I also want BSP's babies
routine and superfluous
Remember: there is no US/UK joke. English is the currency. RN.
They are filling my gap while I'm waiting for Snow Patrol to make their comeback
it's a joke right? snow patrol are shit while bsp is one of the best brit bands ever

am I wrong if I remeber Morrisey?
Yes.
