Reminds me of the quote from the movie time machine where it talks about our own time machines: memories taking us into the past & dreams into the future. The truth is that music paints time as art paints space, so it’s easy to be pulled back to certain moments. For me this song was the ‘salve’ when i released the guy who I’d spent months falling over myself to please, help, do things for was straight and just enjoyed having a servant to do things for him. Youth is full of folly heh.
@WoodlandAsh well I think we've all been there at one time or another. I can recall a time being so desperate to make a relationship work out to complete some empty, unfulfilled part of myself. The irony is, when we grow to understand ourselves and work on our own failings, partners notice, and everything falls into place. La roux's been there... I can hear it in the emotion she sang with.
+SixtySecond Yoga its poor advetising no-one knew about trouble in paradise (but it got to number 2 on the album chart for a short period.) (but mainly it was the record company as it was unknown to many of her fans that new music was released)
+Kaia Johnson perhaps out of favor with main stream but holds a spot on my charts but then again i love her hair so if she hadnt the talent and just that id probally still watch but the fact there are sevral of the songs on first album i adore does help matters and she is amazeing and probally can keep some of her privicy if she aint all blown up a blessing i would think lol though if i ever did see her i would want a autograph =)
fuck what "people" think is relevant, relevant is shallow meaningless music with no message and no lasting effect. personally I think if an artist isnt widely known or has become "irrelevant" that they probably getting to show us there truest self without bullying or interference from the business side of showbiz.
and I'm a big baby who just got high and obsessed with her voice. is there enough cocaine on earth to make wanna share my husband with her? no need to answer a stupid question...
I dunno, but after years of having this song in my playlist it struck me... La roux is like the Eurytmics of our generation. Listening to this song after listening to Must be talking to an Angel is like listening to the same sort of song but from diffrent circumstances. One about a girl fully in love with her lover. And the other about a girl realising she is being used. Sort of continuation, but 33 years later. I would have loved to hear Annie Lennox' itteration of this song and Elly Jacksons itteration of Must be talking to an Angel... I can only Imagine. Hats off to Elly and Ben for this amazing song. From the bottom of my hart, thank you.
I had a fever dream because of this song in 2010! We went on a school trip to France and this song was My Jam at that point. I accidentally fell asleep on the bus, with it playing on repeat. I remember feeling really fucked up when I woke up 😂
I used to loop this limewire and would download it on sd card to sd card. I thought it was gonna blow up because she was super popular after bulletproof but It never did. Still brings back the best memories though💜
11 years later and this song is still 🔥, also the music video is so exotic and cute in a weird way that just makes u want to keep watching, I like it 😄
First time I heard this was when I was living in Italy, a few years after breaking up with a toxic guy. I felt great in my new life with a great guy ❤️
Me being as young as 2 years old when I used to listen to this song and bulletproof, I loved the fact that it was black dancers in this video and the watermelon with the face😂😂😂
Anyone here in 2024 😂
Yup I'm obsessed with her lol ❤😂
@@tonyatonya4986 same 🤣 xx
Yep. It’s a good song
Virgin,
Yes ..
I love this Lady.
Being stuck home got me listening to songs I'm sad I forgot about.
Totally
Same...
Same
Same
Share some here!
13 years later
still an absolute masterpiece
dancing alone? maybe?
@@marcoprieto4919 No volunteers, so: Yes!
gawd, bless, x.
Couldn't agree more! Definitely brings back bright memories.
Oh boy, that brings me memories
This stuff still slaps in 2023. I suspect it’ll always be good to travel back in time with our minds…

And 2024
I have been searching for this song for 7 YEARS. I heard it in a coffee shop in Romania! At LAST
Now you can die in peace. And who doesn't after hearing this joyful song. Bless :D
In romania :D
the struggle was real
Gabriel Ferryman welcome!
Gabriel Ferryman congratulations
it’s been 10 years, huh? back in the days I was literally obsessed with her songs and this one was my favorite. I kinda feel old and sad :/
Actually its a band.
@@denzowarmbad5486 First album it was a duo, afterwards only referred to Elly herself.
Nostalgia
listened to it everyday on the ride to school
Lol , same
This comment section is a massive time capsule, all these peoples comments from 5 years years ago are still getting responded to! It's so cool
indeed
this is a response from the future!
Future is now😎
@@user-lh8my2hk1z Still listening in 2024!
2019 and suddenly it coms to my mind
I have been looking for it for awhile lol forgot her name
All the music from this artist is not great bcs she looking how a Toilett
me
2020 Here :D
@@Jumpjockel what do you mean
WHY ISNT SHE STILL RELEVANT....!!! SHES AMAZING. IN MY OPINION.
I guess she shaded a load of people and slagged people off and fell out of favour? Maybe that's it.
Or maybe it's just the trend for this type of music went out of fashion.

Think of all the memories you had when this song was released. Those were the days, huh?
indeed bro
I was dope sick and getting well at 5am .....this was on LOGO music videos.
..love her....
this song brings back so many memories. we’re getting old yall 🥺
Their entire album got me though my extreme depression back before I dropped out of college (2009-2010).
Love, love is like a stubborn youth…
She's timeless her music is forever
e booth and Israel won Eurovision with a similarly worded song just different sound
It's very much of a specific era, just not the one in which it was made
I can't believe this song isn't popular
6 million views is popular.
+Lee Wyse not really compared to all these other videos with 1 billion views and all that shit..
the only reason any of her song are popular is from nostalgia LaRoux fell of after the 2000s
Me too
• Zachary
It was very popular in Poland
Please come back with more of your beautiful music we all need you!
"I'm not your toy and this is nothing like a girl meets boy."
I have always loved this line ❤️
Her natural beauty is so outstanding I love her!!!
She predicted virtual reality.
This song was a complete cultural reset for me when I was in the middle school
I heard this on a bus today and I am glad because I remembered how much I listened to this when I was young 😢❤❤
She deserves so much more love. Gotta love the clip as well, so random, creative and funny!
5 years later and this still has to be one of my favorite music videos.
This is classic synth pop.
SHE'S THE 80s OF THE 2000s lol THAT'S GOOD THOUGH :)
don't rlly know whats going on in this video but its fabulous
If 2014 doesn't have this technology I'm quitting.
ikr? I was just saying that!
*OH* MY *GOD* HOW CAN I GET *ONE*!?
We don't..but hey iphone 6
Alexandra Mathieu One of those things that reaches the peak of what could crumble the human race. I'm quitting right now.
***** I quit.
My jam forever! Since my teenage years!
I grow up with her music💕
These were the years ❤️ the most memorable joints were dropped in this timeframe imo ❤️
Facccts
She's as though Tintin and Tilda Swinton had a baby.
HAHAHAHA omg i couldn't agree more!
and I'm a big baby who just got high and obsessed with her voice. is there enough cocaine on earth to make wanna share my husband with her? no need to answer a stupid question...
Brilliant! 😂😂
Their Lovechild!
@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet hell, I'd share my wife with her!
She's not ugly, she just has a unique style, and doesn't have crazy amonts of makeup like most celebrities. You're totally beautiful gurl 3
had such a crush on her when I was younger lol. Still would find her attractive, that voice is angelic
2009 was actually a beautiful time for a recession. Love you La Roux xx
Still my favourite after 5 years
Come Back LA ROUX I miss hearing you.
Bring back more of the 80's charm.
Amazing how I haven’t listened to this song and years and I know all the lyrics 🤨 I’m on a La Roux binge
This video was ahead of its time
I love her dancing at the end!!!
This song makes my day better.. i need more music like this in my life
She's BEAUTIFUL.
She JUS has her own 1 of kind looks.
She's DEF a cutie💯💯💯💙💙❗❗
Things like this are why I’ve always loved British media/ entertainment 🙏🏽💖 // Ellie and Tilda Swinton are in my faves collection 😂💖🙏🏽🥃💖🥃
2:58 I'm dead. That childish smile just makes me melt!

From the bottom of my hart, thank you.
Heard this in hollister in like 2008 and became a die hard fan of the whole album!!! And now she’s back😍
I love you La Roux
I'm glad that I decided to rediscover La Roux.
Have not heard anything from them in a while. Still hope they keep putting out great music. The music industry needs more groups like this.
quint1968 This is a solo artist though
EDIT: Elly went solo in 2014
this whole video, from the retro-futuristic aesthetic and gadgets to the androgynous style goals of la roux, is what i aspire to be
I had a fever dream because of this song in 2010! We went on a school trip to France and this song was My Jam at that point. I accidentally fell asleep on the bus, with it playing on repeat. I remember feeling really fucked up when I woke up 😂
She has a Tilda Swindon vibe going on.
How in the heck has 13 years gone by?
Feel good music.
She super underrated man, but that goes for a lot of artist/bands that are amazing and original
That ! That's what should have won the Eurovision !!
LA ROUX IS GODDESS !!!!!
2019 here. who is up?
Me)
2020!
Advice from me to the Past folk: don't laugh at people with hygiene obsession
This video is awesome…Love the dance moves
God id marry her tomorrow if I could.shes gorgeous.
this song is exactly underrated.
and what is told in this song is something most of girls have experienced.
My art teacher use to play this song back in 6th grade. I finally found it!!!! I love it😍😍
Amazing 🤩
This song is underrated af
La Roux: POMPADOUR FOREVER
Trouble in Paradise: RIP Pompadour 2008 - 2014
this song still makes sense
I used to loop this limewire and would download it on sd card to sd card. I thought it was gonna blow up because she was super popular after bulletproof but It never did. Still brings back the best memories though💜
It's 2022 Guys !!!
This is so unlike my other music, but I can't help it. Have been listening to her songs for years now. Love how she just does her own thing!
Bring me back to 2009 please 🥺
me too 😩
My dad showed me this song last night I love it
I can’t believe this has been 12 years ago! Still timeless I say!
I swear This the best song I have listened to
This is the most 2009 song I have ever heard.
Just randomly remembered this song and came back
Timeless !!
I can’t believe I’m here in 2019. She will be forever in my heart. She was my favorite singer Whalen I was a little boy. Love You La Roux.
I was happier the times when I listened to you all day long… ❤️
I had forgotten how amusing this video is; I think it's the various facial expressions people are making while dancing in place. :)
Awezomeeeeee video. I dieeee
for the Peacock chair.
It is reminiscent of 70's era CLUE board game cover
I dont know why but the butt wiggle and grin she does in the chair at 2:56 makes me happy every time...
11 years later and this song is still 🔥, also the music video is so exotic and cute in a weird way that just makes u want to keep watching, I like it 😄
Yes that's a great description of the video, i love it
First time I heard this was when I was living in Italy, a few years after breaking up with a toxic guy. I felt great in my new life with a great guy ❤️
*nostalgic* ... it’s my childhood
i'm disappointed in myself that i only found out about this masterpiece now.
But you found it ;)
No need to be disappointed. I didn't come across it until early 2024 and that was a UA-cam Music recommendation. Better late than never!
thank u huntyyy
Eli Jackson..... my heart melts ......I love La Roux....guilty pleasure ....hey can't live on bread alone ....she is my candy.
Whenever this song plays I can't help but shake my hips a little. And all the people in this video are so 😍.
haha...true.....!
She reminds me of Mel C!
Oh Thiago this song reminds me so of YOU 😉
lexva5 I was just dancing that song in my house haha
K Mcleod a
Classic
Great song! The first image is just like from some 80´s tv show that is shown here on the tube just before one of The Glove´s songs.
14 years ago jeez and the sound of the video is very good
She's so underrated but still a queen
As much as I agree, I also think you should find a bigger and better vocabulary. The amount of times I hear queen or slay from your gen makes cringe.
the vibes in here are immaculate
UA-cam forever, I couldn’t function without it
This is one of the most euphoria-inducing choruses I’ve ever heard in a pop song
Dude I'm so glad I stumbled across this!
Who's watching in 2015 and still thinks this song is great
me and its awsome!!!
😀
MEE!
Daveena Valentine It is same as this days songs.
I'm innnnnn! :) :)
YOU KNOW WHAT MY FAMILY FAILS TO REALIZE THAT I’M THE REASON WHY THE FIT IN HERE
Me being as young as 2 years old when I used to listen to this song and bulletproof, I loved the fact that it was black dancers in this video and the watermelon with the face😂😂😂
how am i barely finding this now???
I'm Not Your Toy
It's like find a treasure that was lost 💕✨
I wish La Roux released this here in the US because this joint right here is a bop!
LSS since first release. Still my jam. I feel so old. Haha
