Yeah, gush over the song if you like, fine, but for every one of these excellent tunes, there were 20 Limp Bizkits, Creeds, Sugar Rays, Sisqos, and Smash Mouths. The decade wasn't some magical time for music... you're just engaging in nostalgia porn.
This song starts out with a discussion about "chi" (or energy.) Message of the video is simple: Careful what and who you invest your energy in, especially if you are trying to prove a point to someone else or for money. Use your energy wisely as someday you will need it to help yourself or someone else and before you realise it, you are burnt out. In the video we see his friends come and go, the girl comes and goes, money comes and goes - all that is left is your chi. And when he is faced with a situation where he needs to help someone else, an actual worthwhile pursuit, he is unable to.
There's a pub in Glasgow called the Horseshoe bar and they have Travis platinum and gold discs behind the bar.. as a thank you for being the place where they started.
I think they've contributed to that themselves by often being the support act. For example, they have been supporting The Killers lately - but Travis for me are a way better band than them
Who still loves this amazing song in 2022! His vocals have such an emotional quality. It’s a song I remember on MTV. MTV is where I got some of the best music from esp when they added MTV Rock 🙌🏻
I think the best way to sum up this song is its like life. You set a goal for yourself. Meet a girl, but she leaves (better or for worse). You succeed at by everyone else’s standards except for your own that you set out. Your friends leave because you don’t listen to their advice. And then after you continue with your life trying to achieve what you are not sure of a much bigger problem that is more than you comes up but you have no way to stop it because your burned out already.
I remember t in the park july 2000, travis headlined played this song. The guys just stood on the stage with their arms folded whilst the crowd sung the song. Imagine hearing so many people singing your song
You might forget the song, but you never forget this video - then you come here and it reminds you what a brilliant song this is. (& how lovely that girl is)
God I miss these guys! And also the era where guitar based bands were still being played on popular radio stations. We can only hope that pop music becomes this good again.
At least both you and I can look back n think "I was bloody there " bro, it's like my parents they talk about 60s music , which by the way I absolute love n quite possibly wouldn't have bands like travis without that era however, it simply was an era mate never see it again music is being lost in rap, dance chart music , only one that's good the now in my opinion in ed Sheeran and Lewis capaldi which are no where near the label of they guys man...they dont have bands for a start (well proper initiated band) especially ed Sheeran he plays a whole set with his pedal thingy
@@davidfulton8949 imagine complaining about modern music but you think that ed sheeran and lewis capaldi are good. That is hillarious. There's loads of great stuff always being made. You just got old.
I feel like this rarely gets mentioned. But their acting in this video is severely underrated. It's very naturalistic and just fits the tone of the whole video without feeling wooden at all. Really adds to the overall impact of the video.
The first Indie band that I really became obsessed with!! I (a little girl from south east london) remember telling my school friends at the time that I liked Travis. I was laughed @. I think of the bands/musicians (if you will) they were ranting & raving about. Most have not been heard of/spoken of for at least nearly 2 decades kmt. I have seen so many bands/artists etc over the years & Travis are on my list!!! Travis' music formed the foundation of my obsession with Indie/Indie-Rock music & Scotland!!
A proper band, who have fun making brilliant songs, and some really fun videos, this and Closer are superb, it shows the bands great sense of fun...long may they continue..class
Here neither group was big, the theatre was OK, 2500-3000 people, but the show was fantastic. I am a big Oasis fan too, but that night I discovered Fran Healy as well.
A saw travis at t in park and oasis at Murrayfield too....the bus home was actually just as good as the concert,we had the bus blasting be here now and I thought the bus was gonna tip over at one point because we were swaying it...it was an 86 first bus from clermiston to birkenside...can remember it like it was yesterday,i was 19 at the time...time flys when your having fun...great memories.
'Why does it always...' was the first Travis' song that I listened to, but Turn is definitely the most important to me. The first cd I bought. It was 2005. I was 10. Lovely memories. The best ones, I guess. The band of my childhood, that's for sure. Time flies. Greetings from Madrid.
Just played on Pick of the Pops Radio 2 today Nov 20th 2021 The chart of Nov 1999. I'd forgotten what a fantastic track this is. It's painful as I recall my youth then and the freedoms we took for granted then. I despair that my children will never experience that.
Back in a time when we really didn't truly appreciate our youth & how good it really was along with Bygone music! Its simply called Time! How life passes us all by so fast. Memories of the 90s only feel like yesteryear, Imagine another 20/30 yrs? it'll be here before we know it. Hopefully We'll all get through 2020.
I had heard this song on the radio this morning while driving to work. This song had burned into me so much back in my youth and is still so good and true. Thank you for that!
I remember the fall of 2000. Listening to this and Yellow by an up-and-coming Coldplay. I'll never know why one band took off globally and the other didn't.
It's because the lead singer didn't marry Gwyneth Paltrow. And sadly that is the truth of the matter. Travis were musically far superior to Coldfeet, but they weren't as connected in the media as Coldmeat.
I was fifteen when this came out and I feel like it was yesterday. I remember being a nice kid with a nice dreams. Now I learn that life gives you what you give it, dreams change and goals aren't the same never, people come and go trough your life and they keep closer if you're thankful, fail and success are part of the game but anyway this is life, right? We'll never know unless we grow.
Gtabeta I know what you mean, this came out when I was 10, feels like 50 years ago, I was just a boy with dreams and love, nothing more. Hope you're doing good
After nigh on 20 yrs of fkin myself up, I’ve found Travis again & the tunes are still god damn awesome. Thank you & I’ll continue to try and be a better person.
Awesome. My comment could have been almost exactly the same as yours. 2020 is giving us ample opportunities to be better people. Even if it's just being better to ourselves, as is my case. Good luck out there, Harry ✌
My mother got me “The Man Who” album for Xmas in 99, I met my girlfriend today who lived on the top of this Tower block that’s in the back background when Frans doing the press ups and we bonded after I told her about the bands I liked. We have gone to see Travis several times together my favourite it was at Sandown racecourse in 2013 what a surreal experience. Thanks guys for the surreal memories
im 36 now, I was in high school when this came out and I fell in love with Travis. Iv got a jack russel dog named Travis he's 10 years old now. Whenever I feel I need it i stick Travis on.. It makes me remember who i am. Where i came from what I've done and what I'm doing... Almost like a refreshing drink sort of drink.
I mourn my youth you know i wasted my teenage years 15 yrs old to 19yrs On hard drugs i remember this song Giving me strength at that time. Unfortunately them days have never left me mentally i wish i never ever touched even a drink. Keep strong I'm 20yrs off that shit i know alot of drug addiction is not being strong enough to cope with trauma but you can turn it around anytime you gotta fuck drugs they destroy lives and not just our own lives . Choose life x
When I was in primary school, I was made to feel like a total outcast when I said I like this song and this band. 16years later I have to applaud my superb and sophisticated music taste. Moral of the story: Other peoples opinions are non-significant particularly where music preference is concerned.
Most underrated song ever. Should have been a HUGE hit here in the USA, but our music :"people" have no idea about artistic quality. .Such a shame. Embarrasing.
agree if they were English they would of been massive, a long the lines of oasis and blur etc which they are but dont get the recognition they deserve 🏴🇬🇧it's the same with Biffy Cylro.
In the second or third verse he actually belts it out like he is singing to a festival crowd. Its amazing. The mastering on these tracks (The Man Who) is out of this world.
I was 8 when this song came out several years later and i'm still obsessed with this band and their music. I remember being laughed at by my primary school friend when I said I liked this song and the band. Looking back, if I say so myself I had awesome taste in music.
Still listening to this classic song in 2024 from the most underrated band ever.
Same here! This was music ❤
@AvionLaminar really check out one of there albums the invisible band awsome Album
2
Same, just popped in my head, Travis are special
The Invisible band 😁
When music was daring, heartfelt, thought provoking, authentic, entertaining, cerebral and told stories. Thank you the 90’’s 😢
Yeah, gush over the song if you like, fine, but for every one of these excellent tunes, there were 20 Limp Bizkits, Creeds, Sugar Rays, Sisqos, and Smash Mouths. The decade wasn't some magical time for music... you're just engaging in nostalgia porn.

I think that is spot on man , a great perspective 👍
Mas claro que el agua.
In English:
Clearer than water
Thanks AI
Kinda got that
@@esaenz26 Callate huevon
Thank you
Aah the 90's, when life felt like life.
There's a pub in Glasgow called the Horseshoe bar and they have Travis platinum and gold discs behind the bar.. as a thank you for being the place where they started.
Hope one day I have de chance to know that place!
Been there lol 90s band brings back good memories
All I wanna do is rock is on the wall up stairs in the karaoke bar
travis and suede, probably the most underrated british bands ever!
Ian Vargas suede definitely!
lets hope people recognize "the man who" as one of the greatest albums ever made
@oneraceonedestiny Suede were much better than Travis.
@@AndrewTube It definitely wasn't. It was decent but don't get silly. Maybe you need to go listen to some classics.
and feeder
I was addicted to this song back in the year 2000. I haven't heard it in years but it just popped into my head.
me too dude. Met them once while working in the grog shop next to their recording studio. Top men.
Me three
This is my first listen. They weren't big in Australia. Loving this one. Driftwood and Side are my faves.
Travis is one of the most underrated bands in history.
Love this song 🎵 ❤
jesuschrist another "underrated" comment.. It's the disease of YT comment sections!
💯
I think they've contributed to that themselves by often being the support act. For example, they have been supporting The Killers lately - but Travis for me are a way better band than them
43 best selling album in the UK of all time.
A young Steven Graham, making a brief appearance at the end....One of the finest British actors in a generation.
Tommy from Snatch and Atticus from Taboo and he was also on the side of Jack Sparrow and lately he was in Venom 2.
came to the comments for this!
Yeah he is
So underrated aswell he was in the gangs of New York......public enemies ....the Irishman
Hello?! Al Capone, Boardwalk Empire??
Still here in 2023. What a song, what a band!
Who still loves this amazing song in 2022! His vocals have such an emotional quality. It’s a song I remember on MTV. MTV is where I got some of the best music from esp when they added MTV Rock 🙌🏻
yup same
TTOTTENHAM FUN
TRAVIS TURN!!!!!!!!!
I used kerrang
and 2024 - still
I think I’m comfortable calling this song a masterpiece 😊❤
Massively underrated Travis, them and Embrace. Anthems to my life in the late 90’s early 00’s. Fuck all else around now
100% Agreed
What a blast from the past!!!Not heard this song in decades, but it’s on repeat now in 2025
AMAZING!!!!
I am 37 years old, their album The Man Who -1999- is an underrated indie classic in my opinion.
43 best selling album of all time in the UK.
Here in October 2024 #Classic #Memories
This band changed my life. I owe a lot to Travis. 💕
yeah, i feel pretty much the same
The only regret is that i never got to see them live. Well, bucket list just got updated.
Ain't we all a little? TRAVIS S2
So me too... still on the cassettes, simple band in their era...
Me too
+Keeleycide Where are u from??
Man I don't know why but I get mad emotional Watching this video and hearing this song, just wish life was still like it was back then
Sadly, the world will never be as cool as it was in the 90s. We will always have the memories
People getting chased and stabbed still happens 🙄
Great song and video though
I think the best way to sum up this song is its like life. You set a goal for yourself. Meet a girl, but she leaves (better or for worse). You succeed at by everyone else’s standards except for your own that you set out. Your friends leave because you don’t listen to their advice. And then after you continue with your life trying to achieve what you are not sure of a much bigger problem that is more than you comes up but you have no way to stop it because your burned out already.
Well said
You’re a scholar and a gentleman 🍻
Very deep n I agree
Deep. Very good ✌🏼🤍
Just saw them perform this week In Philadelphia. They have not missed a beat and Fran’s voice is as strong and beautiful as ever.
3:47 I love that note change
I remember t in the park july 2000, travis headlined played this song. The guys just stood on the stage with their arms folded whilst the crowd sung the song. Imagine hearing so many people singing your song

Yeah the video ending where hes too weak to help his mate is powerful.
Maybe not known in the US but in Colombia South America these guys are still played. Listening now in Bogota Colombia 🇨🇴🙏🏻
Saludos desde Cuba bro
Saludos desde Cuba bro
What an album _The Man Who_ was, special time in the early 2000s in UK for indie rock.
God I miss these guys! And also the era where guitar based bands were still being played on popular radio stations. We can only hope that pop music becomes this good again.

STEPHEN RUSSELL and his song SAILING ON A CLOUD....keep your eye on this man.
SPOTIFY........he's coming...with cracking songs.
They are still here, they have a new album out soon.
@@davidfulton8949 lol with his pedal thingy :> ... i see what you mean.
@@davidfulton8949 imagine complaining about modern music but you think that ed sheeran and lewis capaldi are good. That is hillarious. There's loads of great stuff always being made. You just got old.
The accent and the way they talk is sound so polite!
Can you understand what they say though? I can't!
Better than Scouse accent that’s for sure!
Why does this not have have a billion views? bringing back memories. Love it
Because "Gangnam style" is supposedly better than this. Bollocks. The world is screwed, that's why!
Soooo happy when this song came out
Is it because lied when i was seventeen?
Travis one of the best bands in the world
This song is a masterpiece...classic

the ending was rather tragic. it is surreal.
One of the best melodic voices of the decade. Saw them live supporting Oasis here in the US - he was phenomenal.
Kalypso Kent that must have been a belter of a show
It was LOUD yes! :D
Here neither group was big, the theatre was OK, 2500-3000 people, but the show was fantastic. I am a big Oasis fan too, but that night I discovered Fran Healy as well.
Saw them at Reading in 2002 ish, so so good.

My first CD as well in 1999 I was sixteen life was amazing I wish I could go back
How the HELL can a song like this have less viewers than a song going "OOH OOH OH ALWAYS A GOOD TIME" over and over??

We never believed that our turn will eventually come! We thought we were always going to stay 10something or 20something for EVER.
What happened..?
hes still doing pushups to this day
One of the best songs ever
Wow, happiest times of my life !!! 13 again, 19999.....

Happily eat times ever Bro
They didn't sell their souls for industry
Cause coldplay are the better and more talented band🤷♂️they could genuinely bring out about 3 greatest hits cds and still have room for plenty more
I was fifteen when this came out and I feel like it was yesterday. I remember being a nice kid with a nice dreams.

just roll with the punches thats all you can really do
i was only 8 when this song was released, since then i've grown up with a love for Indie Rock
the world is full of illuminati witchcraft ,no one gets a life anymore . we're just half dead zombies that pay bills

Makes you watch ot again.
Great tune too.
But whats the meaning of the video? Why he's pusshuping? Day to night
Best song from this band
i've loved travis since I was 15 years.I'm 32,now!Laura,Romania
The best Travis song if not the best Indie song ever...
How can one band do so many good songs.
2022 and this song is still up there!!
@shwicky Love it!👍🏾❤🤗💚
i think people reject this song due to the fact it hits so hard and slices close to the bone, the memories this song brings to me hurt badly
This song is amazing! Was in my head all day. Brilliant singer too. This kind of music helps me get through the day
Cry my eyes out every time. Excellent song and video
im 36 now, I was in high school when this came out and I fell in love with Travis. Iv got a jack russel dog named Travis he's 10 years old now. Whenever I feel I need it i stick Travis on.. It makes me remember who i am. Where i came from what I've done and what I'm doing... Almost like a refreshing drink sort of drink.
This song touches my soul. WHAT A GREAT TUNE!!!
This song always causes me a feeling so deep in my soul, especially when Fran sing 'turn'.
Reminds me of Thom Yorke vocally in the chorus.. very early Radiohead influence.
For me it’s the moment when he says “I want to live, I will survive”. It melts me.
I want to cry because of this, this is such a great song!
I mourn my youth you know i wasted my teenage years 15 yrs old to 19yrs
On hard drugs i remember this song
Giving me strength at that time.
Unfortunately them days have never left me mentally i wish i never ever touched even a drink.
Keep strong I'm 20yrs off that shit i know alot of drug addiction is not being strong enough to cope with trauma but you can turn it around anytime you gotta fuck drugs they destroy lives and not just our own lives .

Scotlands talent is under rated. Im from Glasow i can say that
so is scottish spelling you cant spell your own city ha english bands a lot better fact
Really underrated song, love it!

Fantastic song !
Who has time to listen to new music when there are all the classics to go back through?
here because of the radio vlive!! this is so beautiful song thank you yedam for recommend this song!!
Most underrated song ever. Should have been a HUGE hit here in the USA, but our music :"people" have no idea about artistic quality. .Such a shame. Embarrasing.
At least you know quality when you hear it..
agree if they were English they would of been massive, a long the lines of oasis and blur etc which they are but dont get the recognition they deserve 🏴🇬🇧it's the same with Biffy Cylro.
teckertime, where in US
Respect mate means alot it quality band
agree with you on artistic quality. that's why James' worst song, "laid", is the only one america likes.
The good old days can't beat a bit off travis. 2020??
Wonderful song. Very fortunate to see them play in Dubai. So great with the crowd
Travis turn classic nineties music good video to this song great sounds back then good stuff
Always love this song
I love this tune so much , brings back great memories...I suppose thats why I play it when I'm out busking in Dublin...!! Mark G Dublin Busker !!
Where do you busk? I'll listen out for ye - as long as it isn't Temple Bar 😂
unforgettable. In my blood.❤️
I lov this song in 2010 and still lov in it
In the second or third verse he actually belts it out like he is singing to a festival crowd. Its amazing. The mastering on these tracks (The Man Who) is out of this world.
I was in 5th year at St modans English class listening to this song,I was 17 and 41 now🙈🙈🙈it's mad how a song can take u back 😰😰💚💚💚👌👌
A pop masterpiece, an anthem ...🙌🏻
Brilliant band brilliant song

Travis’ best song.
This song motivates you everytime You hear it. I always have it in my thoughts while I’m at work it makes me move faster.
Yup. It motivates me too when I feel lazyyy
please please take me back to 1999. Not joking.
every clip of those guys have a really meaningful point
Reminds me of the very blurry old days 😊
I was 8 when this song came out several years later and i'm still obsessed with this band and their music. I remember being laughed at by my primary school friend when I said I liked this song and the band. Looking back, if I say so myself I had awesome taste in music.
Fantastic song and classiv video. Thank you Travis for being there.
Oh the 90's......
Holy shit...how life goes by, sometimes it hurts the things i forgot
This song never gets old...
Happiest times ever
1:53 I love her so much!
I was 8 when this album was released... I finally got to see Travis live last night at the OVO they were absolutely brilliant
Still love this song Oct 2019 😍💜😍
