Sandi Thom - I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (Official Video)

- This video was shot back in 2005 in a busy bustling London Street Market. The video features an aray of actors, Sandi's friends & even some friendly onlookers joined in towards the end of the video. In fact, the flash of a rather pert behind at the end is in fact the Director himself! The video was created prior to Sandi signing her Record Deal with Sony BMG and so in order to save money they shot it in one go so there would be no editing costs! How resourceful ; ) Unfortunately the quality of this clip is nowhere near what we would like but currently Sony will not allow us to use the original. For all things Sandi Thom: linktr.ee/Sandithom

Same here 😆 born august 93 such a good memory of my childhood
Happy Halloween
im 20 now so i would of been 13-14? when this song came out Tho Evanescence will always have a Special Place in my heart bein my only fave singer/band Even tho they dont make music anymore
I've never heard this song before today, April 2024, but bloody hell, she has sung everything i have thought about over the years. I wore flowers in my hair way back when. 65 this year, but always be 18 at heart. Great voice from a talented singer.
Great song heard years ago
To anyone reading these comments. I've known Wendy her whole life, and can confirm that she has NEVER EVEN ONCE worn flowers in her hair. I think she claims the flower thing because one time she was walking around all day with like a leaf that must have blown into her hair at some point while she out getting her lunch from this bad sandwich place she used to get really bad sandwiches from. When someone pointed it out to her she was like "Huh? Oh, I know... I put it there because I like how it looks while I was at that great sandwich place" which wasn't true at all firstly because the sandwiches were so bad but also because she went to the bathroom right after that and when she came out the leaf or whatever it was was gone. When someone pointed out that it was gone she said that it must have fallen off into the toilet while she was in the bathroom. Then she ate her sandwich and kept loudly saying how great the sandwich was and that the bad sandwich place actually makes great sandwiches and that one time she saw Greg Kinnear eating there and Greg Kinnear said to her that he always eats there even though it's not even close to his house because the sandwiches are so great. A few days later I asked the person working at the bad sandwich place if Greg Kinnear ever ate there and they said "Greg who? Is that someone famous, because if that's someone famous they probably don't eat here because this is a bad sandwich place and the sandwiches are really pretty bad here." Then they asked if I wanted a bad sandwich and I said that I didn't because I usually try not to eat at bad places that sell bad food and they said they understood.
2023 and this still gives me the same feeling! I'll always love it.
😂😂😂😄😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me to
Me in March 24. Cheers from Cologne 😍🍾🇩🇪
June 2020 anyone? Will always love this song!!!🙌
Still rockin 🤟
And july
Its an awesome song
She was Joe Bonamassas GF for a while and would have been great to do a rock version
Love love xx
July
“I was born to late, to a world that doesn’t care” how relevant is this in July 2020 😭👊🏽
On Gawd Jamie 🙏🙏 blessup

Jamie Lee Morley it’s not a world that doesn’t care people are literally banding together and taking to the streets to fight injustice
@@sheilatakeabow1990 need your help see the app zedge which you can download custom notification and ringtones for free . Am trying to get this song and it's not coming up
So so true 😭🙌🏾
Makes me sad that this song is even more relevant 18 years later - shows how society just keeps going further down the rabbit hole.
I've always loved this song, and I still love it. Reminds me of simpler times, for a little while 💛🌼🌻
sadly the "punk rockers" are now raging for the machine :(
@@davidnonya7359 not all of us
@@jeanninerossouw5921 ofcourse not all of us! not me, and not you, but we are in the minority! everywhere i look they same to rage for and support the machine
@@davidnonya7359Aging punk here - still kicking back against the system & longing for the long lost simpler times
You do realize this song is about wanting to be 2 things that are opposite??? you guys say simpler times but the 60's had the civil rights movement hardly simpler times for fucks sake, Vietnam as well too boot and the cold war worrying about nuclear annihilation. but yeah lets pretend times back then were simpler..........
This is timeless. It's 2024 and this song still rocks!
Just vocals and drums - now that's epic
Your hot saxy girl
Wtf i did listen to this when i was 10 years old and did not understand anything but now i understand EVERYTHING
Ahhhh
Same. It was mainly a catchy tune back then, randomly popped in my head but now I’m sitting here mindblown by how powerful these lyrics are!!
4.30am
Just got the urge to listen to this song out of nowhere and don’t know why got teary when Sandi said “when computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything”
Please Sandi come back with more!!!!
Random urge to listen to this song, too! First time in years I even remember it existed!
I and many believe modern technology was invented years ago but would of terrified people computers I didn't like obviously games consoles atari 2600 commudor 64 etc were the first space raiders but when business computers come out something really changed and this smartphone I have now I don't go on it much people easily hack the new world well can't change it but we adapt and don't have to do this modern stuff car boots walking along a beech or a Loch River lake that's what takes your mind away and this song gets me emotional because I didn't listen when it came out
Too bad she did come back and butcher the song making it a woke dumpsterfire. But the original is awesome
I remember the first time I heard this song. 21 years old I was in my car going to a party. The song was played on the radio. I stopped on the road to pick up a piece of paper and write down the name Sandi Thom (misspelled probably Sandy Tom) .I regularly come back to listen to this song on UA-cam.
Thanks Sandi.
This is more appropriate in 2021 than ever. Well done Sandi - timeless sadly.
yes its still crap
@@davidthompson1121 the "sequal" to this song is not only crap but a complete sellout
Instead of singing from her heart, she pandered to the PC Political crowd
The same Vanessa woman who sang 100 miles that girly song from the 90s/2000s that women loved and their boyfriends didn't mind also sold out and went woke
Its all desperate pandering that losses fans rather than revive fans
Alice Cooper on the other hand
He has several different kinds of songs and music styles
Only women bleed.
Halo of flies.
Poison.
Clones.
Brutal planet.
Everything from power ballad to hard rock to metal to death metal to glam Rock and of course shock rock
All trying something new and always staying loyal to the fanbase he has by adding his own element that makes him who he is
This is what musicians should always aim for
Alice Cooper only has political songs that destroy all politics
Elected and department of youth
No one sided message
Just fun and a way make fun of the whole systems and escape
"I don't understand why bands get political, for me the whole point of Rock was to destroy politics not promote them."
- Alice Cooper 1998
@@purefunandlaughter9417 imagine going so completely mental over the notion that other people think differently to you. Jesus.
@@jonoc5 imagine someone like you whom can't recognise a bit of commentary and then some examples from a passionate writer and someone whom does that for a career🙄
Its called an opinion piece
And it's no different from an article or essay
Get over yourself and try to expand your mind
And did I ever say they weren't allowed to do this?
Maybe if you re-read what I wrote the main focus was actually advise for new artists out there not to isolate and lose fans in the future
Thus the reason for the quote
Wasn't that hard was it?
@@purefunandlaughter9417 oooh man, that’s quite something. The idea that a rambling UA-cam comment is an opinion piece. I’ll get over myself when you learn to speak ok regular sentences good lord.
Used to love the is song as a kid. Coming back at 18 it's weird how accurate the lyrics are
Does she know punk rockers didnt av flowers in their hair that was hippies
exactly!!
+Jesse Malthouse God hun you guys are making me feel old. I was eighteen already when this came out
Yes, I absolutely loved this song when I was young. Looking back at it now, when I'm 15, it's still good and accurate.
+Sarah Brown ....Seeing as how she mentioned '77 and '69, I'm quite sure she did. She's talking about revolution in the air from both era's.
Watching in 2023... takes me way back to my childhood. Talented singer❤
Back in feb 2018, I was in Vienna partying with my friends in a place called U4, and then I met a amazing girl dancing there. We ended spending the whole night together, and she showed me some videos, including this one. Sometimes I come back here to remember that night.
Unfortunatly we didn't exchange numbers or anything like that, so... If you ever see this message, I hope you're doing good! Thanks for sharing this song with me.
"I was born too late, to a world that doesn't care" TRUE
2020 still love this song
As if those years were any different 😂😂
Swift Bastard Digga they were different for real.. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@GLBizzie true, we don't have segregation
That's not true at all
I can't believe this only has 11,000 views. This song was so popular in Australia when it came out.
caltom19 Well...1 week later it has 16,000... 5,000 more in a week, not bad!
caltom19 the queen doesnt want to have so many crocks on her island :D
caltom19 mmmppp bop doooooooo bop aaaahhhhh eeeeyyyyy
+caltom19 yeah it was hey
+caltom19 Music these days... but we were saying that back in 2006 lol. This video is a gem.
Loved this song in 2006 when I was 15, 2023 at 32 it's still my jam
I was born in 2006 😮
I was 14, literally heard it on the radio in a detention centre. It resonated lol
I was 7 in 2006 😂😭😭😭
This song always gives me goosebumps 💓
It's been about 9 years since I heard this and I STILL remember EVERY lyric ❤️
A little-known hit amongst the current generation, but a very profound and relevant message.
It really is
What is it
i miss the olden days is not a profound, interesting or original message.
"im 12 and i like the beatles. what happened to music. thumbs up if you agree" vibes
It just isn't though
Jesus Christ dude do you always talk like this?
Man this came out when I was a mid teen. Around 13 to 15. I'm 32 now and I suddenly remembered it and came back... and still remembered every lyric except the last few lines! Damn it! Will just have to listen several more times. Is fine. That will fix it. I remember alot of dislike around this song when it came out. I don't know why because I didn't think it was bad. And it has certainly aged very god damn well. It's better than It ever was listening young.
I wish I was a punk rocker when Covid wasn't in the air. Have always loved this song.
I remember listening to this as a kid and liking this song but now that I'm older I understand how powerful the lyrics are
Yh they sure are and you are beautiful
A lot of the things you saw as a kid are worth looking at with new eyes 👍
oh - sandi thom likes the comments!
Really?
Me too
It's 1:35 in the morning in November 2020 and I suddenly felt an urge to listen to this song for the first time in over five years.
It's 3.53 PM May 19th 2022 and I was inexplicitly struck with the need to listen as well.
This song just popped in my head for no reason
Who is still watching this with me in2020?
you better be fucking kidding me ~,~
Yep! I am and it always reminds me of those days...
me i just did duh
That would be me :D
In seventy seven and sixty nine, revolution was in the air
Not gonna lie, i actually shed a few tears listening to this song after so many years! Brings back so many memories from childhood
I was still a zygote
aye , this was everywhere for a while , whole time of life had this there playing somewhere
I cry like a baby lol
I was a teenager 1977 & have never heard of this woman. I have now. Love this.
Imagine this came out back out in 2021 , would wipe the floor with everybody 🔥🔥 got my daughter listening to it and loves it
My daughter 10 And loves it
I was born in 93 and to this day i still feel the lyric "I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care" is more prevalent then ever i'm so glad she re released this song with jabs at the current state of the world
I was in 93 too and feel same
Look at Washington. People care.
I was also born in 93 same feeling
Guess why the punk rock culture came up - because they felt that no one cared...
You millennials know Jack shit about old school punk. How could you....
loved the song when I was young - finally rediscovered it
Sebbelification same
this song is still an absolute banger, completely underrated and needs to hit the charts for a second chance
Agree there I’ve actually meet her she came to my primary school in Banff
Second chance? It hit number 1 in the UK
My mother passed away in 2018 due to diabetic complications. This was her favorite song and listening to it is like her giving me a hug! ♥
My mum passed in 2018 too abd she loved this too
❤❤so sorry my nums ill Aswell may god protect u amen x
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy seven and sixty nine, revolution was in the air
I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When head of state didn't play guitar, not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control, and the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy seven and sixty nine, revolution was in the air
I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When popstars still remained a myth, and ignorance could still be bliss
And God save the queen, she turned a whiter shade of pale,
My mum and dad were in their teens and anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy seven and sixty nine, revolution was in the air
I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When record shops were still on top, and vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super-info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs, and playing games meant kick around
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy seven and sixty nine, revolution was in the air
I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my
I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
Yes, those are the lyrics (not being rude, just saying)
I was. But never had flowers?
@@Boilingfrogg that's because you would've been an actual punk rocker. Not a hippie. The lyrics of this song are completely wrong.
@@ayrproductions You ain't wrong.
@@lemonlime877 The lyrics are posted here to save other people the trouble of looking it up haha.
This song is still a banger even today 👌
Raasaasbsaaxxx
I agree there it is a banger listening to it now
I learned English with this song in the English preparatory class in Turkey in 2006. It's been almost 20 years and I listen to this song with the same feelings and emotions. I send my love to you Sandi ❤
Got it on a loop! Wonderful!
*OH I WISH I WAS A PRAWNCRACKER WITH FLOWERS IN MY HAIRRRRR*
PRAWNCRACKER WITH FRIED RICE IN MY HAIR
thanks cant unhear that now😂
i was born too late, to a world that *DOESN'T EAT PRAWNCRACKERS*
Holy shit - now that's all I can hear. Dude....
I used to sing this when the song first came out 😂😂
Amazing how she just carries the whole song only with her voice.
I cant tell you how much this song means to me Sandi. Thank you for this always relevant message and it's such a great beat too. I yearn for a world where our material possessions mean nothing and where love reigns king eternal. I weep for that long lost time before computers dominated. Cant get the son off the xbox thes days and it's ruoning our family
2024 anyone?
A song has never aged so well
Me
Me too
About time for a new version, featuring Goths with Hipster beards, reminiscing about the time we still had Myspace, Facebook was cool for under 20s, Twitter was this chill new way of staying in touch, White Stripes, Black Keys and Strokes were these cool new bands, oh, and then top football players still played in Europe for under 100k salaries :)
( _instead of in Arab deserts for something close to half a bn_ )
I'm with you
*OMG THAT'S SO COOL THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE SONG AS A CHILD BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE SONG AND THEN I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT AND NOW I REMEMBER SO MANY OLD MOMENTS AGAIN*
Same here!
I love this song
I nearly cried at this omg the memories 😂😂😂
I loved, adored, and played this over and over. Even my mum told me she thought if ne when she heard this song. Now, reslistening in mid March 2024, this is more relevant, more poetic, and more meaningful. And I still want to be that person, but sadly I'm not. And I would hope others may still be still that person. Here's hoping. We need thise people.
Absolutely amazing song listening to it on repeat
Dammit, this song is going to be stuck in my head for days now.
Same
same I watch this at school
same
Yeah i heard it in the Centra earlier too. Might have to have an aul lobotomy to get it out of my system
OH MY GOOOOD I didn't remember how I loved this song sooo much when I was a child ❤️ please come back girl, we miss you 😭
oh wow that was amazing!!
First time for me hearing this and her voice is sooo extremely amazing 👍🏻
Loved this back in the day, glad I found it again.
It's funny that ~ 2005 is what I would consider the good old days compared to what we have these days :)
Still listening during Covid-19
@Nick G you're a ray of sunshine
@Nick G oh and it's pandemic...better learn to spell it right seeing as we're in the middle of one. But anyways...to answer your question, no I don't believe it's as bad as the media is making it. But we're on Covid-19 lockdown and I'm listening to this song during this over exaggerated pandemic.
Have a good day mate
Still listening during this plandemic also 🎶
I don't think anyone will stop listening to this song
Same here
I’m still listening Sandi, such a unique song. Thank you for this beautiful gift.
One of the best numbers ever written without a doubt
I was obsessed with this song in 2006, still love it
This is really beautiful, I remember when I was little and I used to listen to it with my Mom but now I’m hearing it as an adult I can appreciate it a little more ❤️
This song is absolutely essential at this time in history revolution is once again in the air ❤
Music to my soul and our song I dance to with my daughters such an underrated song ❤
Just heard this song on the radio and it took me back in time instantly. :)
Still a great song after all these years.
2020 anyone? How I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
Do it then.
You go for it anybody asks why. let them listen 🕊✌🙏
Shows how ignorant these millennials are. Punks and the Pussy hippies don’t mix. We hated them. In fact, that’s how this modern generation reminds so much like the hippies. Soft, fragile and a JOKE! . The Last Great
Generation was Generation X
@@JohnnyBGoode-xw9zj I'm "Generation X" and you're wrong. Being a hippie and being "soft" are two different things. If you've given up, that's on you and I'd say you're the "pussy". I WISH I WAS A PUNK ROCKER WITH FLOWERS IN MY HAIR!!!
The song is about both hippies and punk. 1977 and 1969....
Can't get over this song. Like never. It soothes my soul
Wow o can’t believe this song is only 16 I always thought it was older. Such lovely lyrics
Love this song!
Ok so heard this on the radio this morning and I love it. I LIVE IT I BREATH IT I SMELL IT AND ITS BEAUTIFUL
This was such a big hit in Australia. Some of the girls would sing it on the school bus
Watching in 2021 and couldn’t be more true
my friend asked me to listen to this, thanks to her for making vme listen to this gem., KRUTIKA I LOVE YOU
I’m listening to this now because we are practicing this song in musical theatre, amazing!
I’ve always liked this song and her voice is brilliant.
I first heard the song on the radio last weekend and fell in love immediately. Hear it on repeat today.
I wish Sony would release the original video. This is one of my all-time fav music videos, I always keep coming back to it.
2023....Born 1977.....pure love for the song....my parents where and still be hippies❤❤❤❤❤
Sry for my messy English 😅
Oh yes I had teacher back then (I was in year 8) and that teacher loved this song!
LOVE THIS. ❤️
It's so TRUE... Still
😊❤😊❤😮😊❤😊🎉🎉
This just reminds me of when I used to work in McDonald's and this was played on repeat constantly, never got old though.
This came out a day before my 9th birthday.
Thanks for the gift!
Ive learned this song in school 6-7 years ago and I’ve been searching for it for like 2 years but I could only remember the music video:( I’m so happy to finally find it !!
It's been more than a decade since I last listened to this song. Probably before I finished High School in 2009. Today before I went to work it came through my head and I was like after finishing work I would listen to it. I haven't forgot about it and here I am on here listening back to this music I listened more than a decade.
I remember this playing I was at Uni, totally different to the old school goth, rock and symphonic mental I was listening to, but always spoke to me. I never had music channels at home, and couldn't afford a TV licence, so this is the first time I've ever seen the video. Still hits home, definitely born a decade or two too late.
I was 2 when this was released and I remember my mum playing this on CD 24/7 and it seriously takes me back and there’s so much truth to this song aswell
Superb song after all these years 👌
Ich bin bis heute von der stimme verzaubert worden mega 👏👏🌹🌹🙋♂️🙋♂️
Mar an gcéanna le
Listening to this properly for the first time, I love it! 😍 Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
Late 2019 and still a banger!
Major throwback. I haven’t heard this song in a long time. Glad it’s on UA-cam
Loved this song when it came out, and just found it hidden on a playlist. the hairs on the back of my neck stood up the second it started.
I first heard this song when i was like 13 and now at 23 I feel this song so deeply.
I remember I heard this when I was 4 and became obsessed quickly my mum and dad got me the CD still have it and I swear gets me to a wee happy place always gonna be my favourite song ❤️
2021 and this song still is one of my all time favs
Damn I havnt heard this one years but still has that same feel to it!
Ive been looking for this song since forever, for years it feels like!!!!! AND all i could remember was a lady walking down a sidewalk. 🤦♀️ The struggle was real.
The very minute I first heard this song, back in 2006, I fell in love with it. I couldn't afford an ipod so bought the single and it was on repeat in that boom box! ❤❤ I still love it x
i want to cry i just find this song after many year of search
16yr ago Social took my daughter at 5wks old for 8days due to domestic violence. This song was my alarm that woke me each morning for contact. Brings bk lots of emotions but love this tune to this very day.
Oh I really wish I was punk rocker
Listening in 2017
Love from Nepal ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😊
I found this song in 2020 and was shocked when I´ve learned that it´s from 2005. It´s such a wonderfull and great song and reminds me, that I am a punkrocker since 1994 when I first bought me an Bad Religion album.
Loved this and still do
I heard this song last night and I have listened to it like 100 times I love it
I think we all think the same ,but can't put it into words as perfect as this 🤟
