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.
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.
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 😄
Being stuck home got me listening to songs I'm sad I forgot about.
Totally
Same...
Same
Same
Share some here!
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
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
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
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
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.

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…
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
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....
Ages ahead of her time.
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😎
@@Elmeromerosaborranchero-q8x Still listening in 2024!
Yours too
this song brings back so many memories. we’re getting old yall 🥺
Her music ages like fine wine. We need a new album gurl.
14 years just wow
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
Her natural beauty is so outstanding I love her!!!
This video was ahead of its time
14 years ago jeez and the sound of the video is very good
I lost this for like a decade and rediscovered today. Amazing
Just randomly remembered this song and came back
SHE WAS WAYYY AHEAD OF HER TIME
Thisssss comment wins 🎯
it was good
Awesome how sweet “I’ll be with them anyways”
I am OBSESSED with this song! How did I never hear it back when it first came out? So happy I’ve found it now though!
5 years later and this still has to be one of my favorite music videos.
This is classic synth pop.
😭😭 I've finally seen the song damn after so long!!
Please come back with more of your beautiful music we all need you!
She deserves so much more love. Gotta love the clip as well, so random, creative and funny!
My jam forever! Since my teenage years!
I grow up with her music💕
@3:13 still my favorite part lipsynching to herself she forgot her own adlib part hahahahaha
Still my favourite after 5 years
I heard this on a bus today and I am glad because I remembered how much I listened to this when I was young 😢❤❤
2:58 I'm dead. That childish smile just makes me melt!
Been looking for this song finally found!
I can’t believe this has been 12 years ago! Still timeless I say!
I love you La Roux
This video is awesome…Love the dance moves
Feel good music.
These were the years ❤️ the most memorable joints were dropped in this timeframe imo ❤️
Facccts
This song was a complete cultural reset for me when I was in the middle school
"I'm not your toy and this is nothing like a girl meets boy."
I have always loved this line ❤️
Still my favorite music video of all Time
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
thank u huntyyy
SHE'S THE 80s OF THE 2000s lol THAT'S GOOD THOUGH :)
La Roux---hurry up and come out with another album
@@interfectus99 she says it will be toned down like Cindi lauper
They can't sing same as when young.
the vibes in here are immaculate

This song makes my day better.. i need more music like this in my life
God of music
2009 was actually a beautiful time for a recession. Love you La Roux xx
I love her dancing at the end!!!
Dude I'm so glad I stumbled across this!
When i look at her hairstyle i just fancy opening a pack of iced gems 😂 ❤ la roux
This song is still great in 2018 !!!!
Come Back LA ROUX I miss hearing you.
Bring back more of the 80's charm.
LSS since first release. Still my jam. I feel so old. Haha
I had forgotten how amusing this video is; I think it's the various facial expressions people are making while dancing in place. :)
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
Heard this in hollister in like 2008 and became a die hard fan of the whole album!!! And now she’s back😍
2:57 - 2:59 it will forever be my favorite part of this video 🥺😍😍😍💜💜💜💜💜
My dad showed me this song last night I love it
I swear This the best song I have listened to
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

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bring me back to 2009 please 🥺

Classic
By far her best song! Damn good La Roux
I agree. This is my favorite.
her songs is so magical. from another world. . makes me happy
Fantastic Video 🎥Cute Song📀🧸
I dont know why but the butt wiggle and grin she does in the chair at 2:56 makes me happy every time...
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
My art teacher use to play this song back in 6th grade. I finally found it!!!! I love it😍😍
Amazing 🤩
After all the stuff online still come back to her vids nice sound, beautiful lady.
My summer 2019 anthem 🌞
She has a Tilda Swindon vibe going on.
This vid is a masterpiece
I live this videoooo. Catchy catchy tune. Love the slim black girls and moves. Love everyone’s jerk rhythms. La roux is so cool 😎
LA ROUX IS GODDESS !!!!!
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!
2021.. Nostalgia total ❤️👌🏻
This song and video are so fresh
i love the aesthetics of this video so much.
2020 and this is still Relevant 💪🏾🔥
I am watching this in 2018 and I love it. It has the same title as the Eurovision winner this year!
Actually, Netta's song is titled "Toy", not "Not Your Toy".
such a fun song..
That ! That's what should have won the Eurovision !!
I'm glad that I decided to rediscover La Roux.
so ahead of its time
Classic.💓
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.
Amazing how I haven’t listened to this song and years and I know all the lyrics 🤨 I’m on a La Roux binge
It's 2019 and I still keep rediscovering her. What an amazing artist!
Imagine Me I know her music makes you just want to dance forever.
Ayeeee....bissh betta quit playing wit my heart on the FIN!!
