This is one of the most beautiful songs Ive heard. They had a flag for Bailey in the crowd. Was a massive highlight for me this set this weekend. I can’t get enough of this song. Being a male a similar age to them, from a similar place in life. Just feels personal man. It’s great.
@@lopez7684 I understand that Bailey was a close friend of the lead singer who passed away and the song also captures the loss of the guitarists partner through cancer.
So beautiful this song always has me in tears - when I’m struggling with life & my friends ask “hey are you okay- what’s up?” My answer has & will always been “oh it’s everything & nothing” cos it’s too much to go into & I struggle to talk about it- also having lost the love of my life in 2008; my Twinsoul in 2022; my Granpa & 2 amazing friends this year in less than 3 months this song resonates so hard with me & I couldn’t be more proud of these local Tunbridge Wells lads & OBSESSED with the last 3 singles esp this one & seeing them using my hometown in their music vids makes me SO DAMN PROUD💯❤️🩹🫶🏼Isaac was so kind the first time I met him esp as I was out in my wheelchair - both lads are just so talented & amazing & this tribute is a testament to those qualities big love lads & Rest In Peace Bailey🙏🏼✨x
Not just the song but also this performance is beautiful. The sadness but also the happy people in the audience and his joyful smile looking out. Says so much about this complicated old life we live, in one snapshot.
This is the first time I've ever heard of Soft Play and this has moved me to tears.. now I can't stop listening on repeat 😭 What a phenomenal song and group, going to check out the rest of their discography now ♥️

2:33 white knuckles on the counter in the kitchen they don't know how hard I'm kicking to keep my head above...... fuck me that line gets me every time 😢
new to this band, watched their set (albeit not in the crowd) so no nothing of them. This song hits like no other I have heard for quite some time, Just a great song, great performance, message, and story behind it. I obviously don't know Bailey, but rest easy man.
When i was a teenager i loved punk, since thoes times there has been nothing... until this lot. Love them. Was in the front row at this gig and just testing how soundproof are walls are in my house with the new album . {from a very old git }
They played at the 2019 Download Festival in Sydney. I had no idea who they were but they were the absolute highlight of the day for me, surpassing all the bigger, more established bands.
Such a weird contrast with the aggressive angry singing and somber, folksy music. His singing works well with the punky heavy loud music, I never expected he would sing the same way for a song nothing like that.
@@TessT101 Bailey was a friend of the whole band. Emma was Lauries partner and they had 2 kids together. Emma was only 32. Bailey Churchill was 27 when he passed.
Oi doesn't properly express the emotion of the song. The song is about a friend dying. UGG is way better than OI in this context. Also you're making some grand assumptions assuming hes trying to censor himself. Just enjoy the music eh?
@@EdekLay Not hipster, it's punk. They are singing about a close friend dying. It's called raw cathartic emotion. You'll clearly never understand it nor do we want you to. Bye!
Sounded brilliant there in person. Beautiful atmosphere. Crowd rooting for them. They were great. Sound is flatter on recording. That's how it goes sometimes.

Stumbled across these yesterday and was blown away. What a performance and I CANNOT stop listening to this track, beautiful.

@@lopez7684 yeah what the other comment says that’s my take too, they’ve posted a few statements on socials about how this song came about.

I have flown around the sun 61 times. Lost a lot of loved ones in that time. This one hits close to the heart. Cheers to all.
Cheers to you older fella from a 36 year old going through the mill
Hang in there bud @@DistrictWitch
@@christianbridge2253 cheers mate
Issac staring out in the crowd with a massive smile, that was powerful 👌
Lost my best mate a few years ago.
Keep coming back to this. “More mandolin please ?!”

Way underrated comment.
Why can't I never not cry when I hear this?

I sobbed stood in that field. Seeing people express these kinds of emotions through music is such a talent
Gayyyyy
Real gay, I'm so happy for you. Must have been a mash
@@discobriscoe5880before I even saw your comment I knew the gayness was already upon this comment . Thank you for helping keeping things gay
@@discobriscoe5880dickhead
My fucking god in floods of tears can feel the raw emotion pooring out what a fucking band
seriously - need to be as big as Idles
I’ve been hooked ever since Punks Dead released. These guys are rad as fuck
best band for f-ing ages
Been listening to these guys since their first album 12 years ago now. Can't believe it's been that long, they still feel so unfiltered and raw
I can't help crying while listening it. SOOO touching and emotional. Love you guys!
very touching song, so much tears, love and rage. Brilliant stuff
so glad these boys are back, such a beautiful song too😢
When he says at the end i love you ,and you...❤ i truly believe him😢
This song fucked me up the first couple times and now I smile at the memories it brings up. Beautifully cathartic song.

that one grabbed me the first time I heard the song. My friend passed away last September. I sat looking out the kitchen window for hours it seemed
@Schneedle.Ska69 sorry to hear that mate

This is Art & A beautiful representation of the spectrum of emotions we can feel, it’s bought me to tears.
Love to anyone reading this ❤️
My heart breaks every time
Must be such a tough song to perform....huge respect to the lads
This upcoming album is gonna be mega, and this tune is an absolute fucking beauty 👌🏻
Outstanding 👌 Bailey would be proud
The woman at 2:10 perfectly exemplifies the response caused by this song
one of my new fav band
I hope the softies come to Australia one day ❤
They played at the 2019 Download Festival in Sydney. I had no idea who they were but they were the absolute highlight of the day for me, surpassing all the bigger, more established bands.
This song is devastating..2024 finest moment❤
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you too 🖤🖤🖤
Simple Raw and Real ... Genius
Just turn it up... Nuff said
Raw & Beautiful ❤
Incredible 🎉
love you too. xxx
This song is somehow even more raw and goes harder than their all out punk material.
when a punk band figures out the orchestra you're always gifted a stellar track, it's a match made in heaven somehow lol
Gorgeous tune.
3:31 is what reverence looks like
incredible vibe
First time listening to these guys, quality
Formerly ‘Slaves’. These two fellas make some noise.
Used to be called Slaves, so you may have seen them under that name pre-lockdown.
Love it
Love these guys
White knuckles on the counter in the kitchen
They don't know how hard I'm kicking
To keep my head above
I MISS HER IN THE EVENIN

REM meets The Cribs ❤
This is a ear worm the song humming in my head
Best band hands down
Damn that is pure
Michael Stipe looking ripped these days.
I my kid brother so much.

Great lyrics, great tune, great band
They were awesome at Download
Essa musica é brilhantemente emocional, verdadeira arte!
Imagina poder ver isso ao vivo então...
Sounds like a weird cross between REM and Wayne slob from Harry Enfield show
People sat for a 3 hour set to just to listen to this one song, was it worth it?
Come to Australia, we need some loving PUNK
Anyone here on NYE?
this generations brohymn type beat
Definitely got strong bro hymn feels
STELLA FELLA ❤
❤
perché questo zotico che strilla mi fa piangere?
Seen the slaves twice
can’t wait to see SOFT PLAY
Who is Bailey?
A friend of theirs who passed away
I believe the guitarist partner, mother of his kids. She passed away from cancer
@@TessT101that’s not Bailey but yeah that’s also happened
@@owenbennett5594 yeah, I looked it up. Sad that I had to get two confused. One is hard as it is 😢
@@TessT101 Bailey was a friend of the whole band. Emma was Lauries partner and they had 2 kids together. Emma was only 32. Bailey Churchill was 27 when he passed.
I love ❤️
VOB indonesia
Amazing artists ❤
sounds like maggie may until softlad starts bawling. lovely music
As poignant and impactful and the smiths.
You've gotta be having a laugh
@@vcc947 nah they are up there man, Smiths are legends but these boys are doing their bit to keep good British music alive
reminds of when britain was britain
Why is the so called artist scared to say OI! Europe needs to stop self censorship. The song was amazing until he caved in. Don’t say UGG, say OI!
Oi doesn't properly express the emotion of the song. The song is about a friend dying. UGG is way better than OI in this context. Also you're making some grand assumptions assuming hes trying to censor himself. Just enjoy the music eh?
Post Punks dead!!
losing my religion ... ahahahahahhh ... però molto bella...
Slaves?
What, mate?
Soft Play
Deal with it
@@XAVR_more like Soft Kunts!x
never heard of them!….
Anyone else reckon DMAs would kill a version of this
una reverenda cagada!!!!!!!!!!!!
My ears bleed when I listen to it. I don't understand the positive comment.
He's not singing but screaming
Raw emotion sounds different from different people, Laurie is also singing in a completely different tone, and he is the one who wrote it.
I just don't understand hipsters full stop. Is it supposed to be edgy or what? I just see rubbish
@@EdekLay Not hipster, it's punk. They are singing about a close friend dying. It's called raw cathartic emotion. You'll clearly never understand it nor do we want you to. Bye!
@@brandonolafsson321 "we"as in you hipsters?!
@@EdekLay Punks, you twit.
I must be missing something. Good musicians and song but why is he singing as angry and shouting?
It's punk rock. Pure emotion and raw energy.
Look up the lyrics.. says it all
Jnk
Anyone can literally sing like that?
Do it then
Anyone can smile, too. Doesn't mean it's not worth doing
Music means things for different folks. Doesn't always have to be about perfect pitch. Listen to his words and the story. It's raw and cathartic
Do bands not practice anymore
Must be hard getting old
@@derkie510 IM 61. It is. But bands like Soft Play make it easier
Awful. Aren't these 'punks' supporting Robbie Williams?
Changed their name too.. punks my arse.
Awful because somethin something 'robbie williams'? OK mate
@@youngdylan5083they were getting stick for the name, 'slaves' they thought it was outdated.
@@jessicafoulger2177 Yeah the ‘punk’ thing to do would most probably stick two fingers up and keep the name.
@@youngdylan5083 What do you think "punk" means?
sounds absolutely awful pub standard vocals🤣
Man wanted Adele to sing this tune
@not bothered about the mood of the vocals just the quality me nan could do better
@ not bothered about the mood of the vocals just the quality me nan could do better
why's the singer so bad?
Why do you care
@@josephtaylor4809 What a strange reply.
@@gostepsenglish4431 It's punk bruv
he's an amazing singer lol, high quality rough screaming punk vocals make it what it is - go listen to some ballads you weirdo
If you think a ballad singer would fit better here, you might have something wrong with you.
WTF IS THIS 🤭
Dreadful
you what
Shite
Sounded brilliant there in person. Beautiful atmosphere. Crowd rooting for them. They were great.
Sound is flatter on recording. That's how it goes sometimes.
Couldn’t give a fuck
'dreadful', or 'I heard about that woke bandz wot changed name lol'
Shite
Didn’t ask
terrible
Partito un po' stonato,poi si è ripreso...ma si poteva fare meglio
