I wonder if he realised how much of an impact he had on britains youth!for sure he influenced me in all apects of life.im still spitting every word of original pirate material on a regular basis.
josh1 mate like you wouldn’t believe spent one of my best years listening to “A grand don’t come for free” with my best mate at the time, was the soundtrack to our weekends getting in at 5:30 in the morning at 14 years old and sleeping in his garden because I was too pissed to walk up the stairs 😂😂😂.
My dad loved the streets, I have so many memories growing up listening to them. They are my whole childhood. My Dad passed away last summer, I played this song at his funeral and I couldn't of chosen a better song. Always meant something special to me but it has extraordinary meaning to me now
Your dad is a friend of mine even if he's just one i haven't met yet Heroes like ya da....kids on wizz first timers darlins on Charlie all come together for one bid endless party
I was a kid in grade school when I first saw this. Now I’m married with wife and kids and this hits different. Amazing how the same music can affect you in youth and adulthood.
“I came to this world with nothing and I leave with nothing but love. Everything else is just borrowed” will be my first tattoo because, those words has stuck with me ever since 2008
"I love the rain on my scars." Wow that line hits deep for me. I have two large, self-inflicted scars on either side of my neck now, across my jugular and carotid. I'll have to wear them for the rest of my life, for all the world to see. Songs like this remind me of how lucky I was to survive, and how immensely grateful I am, in hindsight. I can no longer be ashamed of the marks of my past. Throughout my experience of suicidality, survival and subsequent aftermath, I've learned a singular and hard truth in this world. The despair and embrace of oblivion, however intense and persistent, is ultimately only temporary. Like a memory that's borrowed, for spending tomorrow. And learning from it. "You're never nothing, if you didn't disappear." And by the grace of god, or sheer cosmic statistical chance, I didn't disappear. I survived. "The wind of change won't whistle me away If I spin my tails and sail And sail away, let yesterday become today."
@@SuperClaman Nice man thanks for correcting this dude when he's fuckin pouring his heart out about some of the most real and vulnerable shit he could possibly share. Appreciate it bud
I want you to know that I love you and that I admire you for sharing such an intimate insight into what you've gone through. You are so strong, even when you don't feel like you are. God bless you mang. Love
@@SuperClaman the line before is "I pull the sail safe switch, seas settle, and I'm aimed at stars". What makes you think he would rhyme "skies" with the preceding "stars"... it's obviously "rain on my scars" which makes more sense rhythmically and logically.
No matter how bad it gets, don't lose hope. No one wants to talk about it, but we all go through it at least once in our life. It's not forever though, and odds are you'll bounce back in a bit. Maybe it's a few days, maybe it's a few years, but you get there in the end if you stick it out. You learn the real meaning of friends then.
Something about this song makes me cry every time I hear it, I don’t know why. This is one of the streets lesser known tracks but it really hits hard for me and I don’t know why
yeah me too its just human nature ...if you are a good person you can't help but feel for that little family of Mikes esp his little boy ...this happens to thousands around the world many times not even their fault but ... 'debt has no empathy' 😢😨😬

Is there a Streets track that you can’t relate to? For me over the years all his music has been more of a journey with classic pick me up tracks thrown in when my life got ugly! You couldn’t write like this unless you had been there and felt it! Amazing talent Mr Skinner and thank you for it!
I once read a review of A Grand Don't Come For free, & the geezer said "Mike Skinner is a modern day Shakespeare, a true Words-Worth".

Needed this today. Song soothes my soul. You was the bollocks at Brixton 14 years after I first saw you. You will never know how many lives you have saved and helped Mike. I wish you all the best always. Even if it is all borrowed you deserve everything.
Mike's lyrics are genuinely heavyweight. Everyone arse kisses bands like Radiohead and Nirvana as they are geniuses, but their lyrics are meaningless pretentious gibberish for the most part. This is actual poetry.
Skinner will go down as GOAT!! The way you can of heard a song of his a thousand times and then at one stage in your life you listen to it and go AHHHHHH now I get what he’s going on about!!!

Everything in life is just a moment in time. Including life itself

Beautiful message, I've experienced this as a kid, I feel this song deep

*as a kid growing up, this song taught me to never borrow*
I am so grateful to have discovered your music.
still rocking this. in the feels!
This is my hour
I'm never going to bed
The sky is still black but begs to be red
I just out my book down but to be read
I'm not nod, I'm not napper, never rest my head
Some days I feel I'm getting smaller and smaller
But some nights, I seem to grow taller and taller
And we keep shrinkin' and shrinkin' but this will not finish
You're never nothing, if you didn't disappear
Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they change it
Just when I'm loving life, it seems to start raining
I pulled the sail safe switch, sea sail and I'm into the stars
I love the rain out my skies, The sky's now red, my eyes reflect jets
Smiling at this blessing, this life is the best
I came to this world with nothing
And I leave with nothing but love
Everything else is just borrowed
I want to notice chances I've passed without notice
I want to see details previously veiled
I want to grab that chance, carry it home
So I can marry and know
That I noticed every chance
That I could have passed without notice
I saw details that to all were veiled
And I grabbed those chances, carried them home
And then I'll have had it with roaming
I came to this world with nothing
And I leave with nothing but love
Everything else is just borrowed
I want to speak every cliche but tweak if I've seen change
In new way it could be said
If it's bleak, or if the week's leaking down the street
Or if any days wasted I want to face facts
My time on this earth is my only penny
Wise is the gent counting every moment spent
I don't want to explain things, don't wanna fill in the gaps
I wanna look at my friends and in that minute be at
Memories are times we borrow
For spending tomorrow
Memories are times we borrow
For spending tomorrow
I came to this world with nothing
And I leave with nothing but love
Everything else is just borrowed
If spit like luck, you can only seem
To borrow it, you can't keep it
When the wind of change whistles into play
Will I blink or flinch away?
The wind of change won't whistle me away
If I spin my tails and sail
And sail away, let yesterday become today
I came to this world with nothing
And I leave with nothing but love
Everything else is just borrowed
As time will say, nothing but
I told you so
Memories are times we borrow
For spending tomorrow
