Who writes a song like this anymore. Pure, classic!

Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn, one of the greatest love stories in pop played out over thirty years of music and song.

A Drum & Bass Lullaby....Pure Seduction

Her voice!!! Magic.

The drummer and the bassist are amazing. The whole song is amazing but in this particular performance they take it to another level.

Her voice live is as beautiful as on the record itself... simply beautiful.

Probably, one of the best female vocals (and song writer) of the past 30 yrs...

I Love EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL, The voice of Tracy Thorn is absolutely beautiful, and the music arrangement of her now husband Ben Watt, is AWESOME, I have always like the music and the sounds... beautiful music, too bad some ignorant people cant understand this type of music!

Awesome version of a great song. Danny Thompson on bass, legend from another era/genre adds a unique feel to the recording.

I remember reading in NME that Everything But The Girl had made a Jungle track - and just laughing at the idea. When I watched them perform it (I think this video was from a show called 'The White Room'), I couldn't believe it. It was perfect. Not a folk duo trying too hard to do Jungle, but their own take on it. It must be almost 20 years since this aired, but it still sounds fresh - and I love the sound of that double-bass. If I remember right, Portishead performed on the same episode. They did a version of 'Over' that was better than the final version that was on the album - worth checking out!

Tracey is in a class by herself. I never heard this one before, but I have it now. EBTG makes some of the most beautiful music.

Do you guys understand? Benjamin Watt invited Martin Ditcham to play Before Today by Everything But The Girl. Wow! Martin Ditcham musically composed the Sweetest Taboo by Sade. What musical power, but you don't comprehend.

The beautiful voice

REALLY BRILLIANT. EBTG 4 ever in my life.

just incredible .. time goes on.. they stay ..

The bass player is fantastic, hitting those harmonics spot on. Tracey angelic as always.

This is why I intensely miss EBTG. They truly were synergistic. 1+1=4 with the two of them. I understand that they wanted and/or needed as artists to grow in different ways, but this was at their peak.

so much memories, ....ah....high school.... ....

amazing, soulful version. love this.

Still awesome in 2019

fantastic music............i am 50 and love this record. Awesome

C этого трека я полюила Everything But The Girl!!! АБАЖАЮ их!!!

I listen to this song almost everyday, I love it. EBTG's sound was so original and influential of all ambient music that followed.

I agree! It makes me love them more!

Hi Plabuck. This is a performance from "The White Room" which was a music programme on maybe Channel 4 or ITV (some British TV channel anyway) around maybe 95/96. If memory serves the host was a guy called Steve Lamacq (sp?) though I'm not absolutely sure. It was a really good show. I think just about everyone who appeared on it played live. I do remember one particular blinding appearance by early Kula Shaker doing 'Govinda'. Likewise hugs and kisses and a Happy New Year!

They just keep getting better and better.

love this women

Best of all time for me

seriously...where has this song been all my life..?

Simply marvelous.

Tune,,,,,absolute classic

i've loved EBTG since EDEN, i still love them, and will them til the next lifetime!!!

Everything But The Girl VS Jungle rythm... Fantastico...

excellent performance! this song is part of 'The Saint' Soundtrack, awsome video!

EBTG jsou opravdu nejlepsi z nejlepsich.Tracey a Ben

Beautiful song. This one and "Single" are muy favourites of this album.

I would love to see them come back.

just sounds like something that's deep. Knowing Afghanistan is not one of the best places in the world to be. Sometimes music can just help you be at ease, whatever your situation or location.

they guy playing they keyboard is getting d-o-w-n! i love this song and her voice.

Love that song! One of their best, gives me a good mood, very catchy "I want your love". Grait!

Makes me shiver

Remember the good time we passed.. in Madrid, 1987. With Love

I saw them for the Walking Wounded tour in a club about this size ❤️

Gosh... cool voice from Tracey, and always been.

one of the best band in the 90'. Love that lazy dance sound

?!trying to express my thoughts on this live performance?!!? amazing!

the record that made me sleep in Afghanistan

this music was made 1995 i think, yet the music 10+ years after sounds like this in the chillout scene

And that is the brilliance of Ben Watt.

Agreed, She always reminds me of Sade!

they are so awesome, everything they put out, love them

Been in love with Tracy Thorn since the Marine Girls, i'm so pleased they moved forward the way they have, an awesome band never failing to keep their finger on the pulse and get it soooo right in their own unique way. Awesome track, Tracy and Ben must have been pi***ng themselves over those dancers.

Live they are so perfect like i feel i`m in a special lounge.

goosebumps

The Go-Go dancers prove a point. Ben, Tracey, and Martin Ditcham were in such a groove, the dancers only exemplify a point. From 1:34 until the next chorus, the band is in such a groove, including the dancers, who, really gives a fuck? The writing, direction, and musical composition is so fierce, who gives fuck? You? Who are you? A top recording artist? No! Benjamin Watt and Tracey Thorn are top. "Before Today" (1996), their top-selling track, proves this.

I LOVE THIS BAND !!!!!!!!

Liked them from the jazzy Eighties still loved them when they went elctro.

Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muy buena rola en vivo....

Isso é maravilhoso!!!

Completely ahead of their time

Northern California Thumbs Up

Great voice

Great song!!! the music it's so good at live

Many years ago (1986) someone gave me Baby, the Stars Shine Bright for my birthday and I will always be grateful. I have been a fan of EBTG ever since. The go-go dancers in this clip seem so cheap compared to the class Tracy always exudes. I hope they record again together someday.

每次听都喜欢到受不了~！

Awesome !!!!!!!

This is the best song of EBTG, la voz de tracy thorn es la mejor

love this

beautiful!!

You have been always really good, and good taste

i def will thanks

I Love Tracey And EBTG Yeah!! :D

this is so powerful

De lo mejor

Totally agree.

3rd time in the stan went to sleep listening to this

They can remix this one back and forth. For me this record is favorite .

belle music

it's rare for me to see their performance.. I love Tracey and Ben!

amazing

i love the breakbeat in this track.

@MrBornagainzombie Danny Thompson...bass legend...played with EVERYONE !!!! Talk Talk, David Sylvian, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Tim Buckley etc etc etc !!

가사좀올리자... I don’t want excuses I don’t want your smiles I don’t want to feel like we’re apart a thousand miles I don’t want your attitude I don’t want your things But I don’t want a phone that never rings I want your love and I want it now I want your love and I want it now I don’t want your history I don’t want that stuff I want you to shut your mouth That would be enough I don’t care if you’ve been here before You don’t understand Tonight I feel above the law, I’m coming into land I want your love and I want it now I want your love and I want it now My heart is that much harder now That’s what I thought before today My heart is that much harder now I thought that it would stay that way, before today Before today But I don’t want a phone that never rings I want your love and I want it now I want your love and I want it now I want your love

Muito bom!!!

Good Lookin out on this vid homie!

❤🎉

@TomDeToys healing stuff for the soul....well sead.

The blonde sync dancer at 1:34 - who maybe Melissa Messenger (according to "CWalter")- is simply irreplaceable, though it seems she is performing for the camera. Too bad she is not performing for the sheer brillance of this song, "Before Today." Ben Watt is an exemplary composer, very passionate in his performance.

Check out Sneaky Sound System when they are in London. An asmazing Aust band and currently touring with Sam Sparro.

Simply amazing as usual.... But whats up with the cheesy blond bimbo dancers... Poor Ben and Tracey, they must be embarrassed...

Bliss!

It's a midi controller no longer manufactured called the DrumKat.

This has to be one of the sexiest songs ever...

Bliss.

she is frickin AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is officially my favorite group. people always ask who is my favorite and i alway say i dont know but now i can say its everything but the girl =D and u gotta love the go go dancers especially the one on 3:00 and the other blonde is hilarious too!

@julienk2021 the white room? such a poetical title for a show? how great ;-) thanx for the info!!!

here in my country its winter =S!! too bad!!

from early emotive pop to tewchnocool...i wonder what their next transformation will be? powerful!

i loooooove this song sooooo much!!!!! i listen to it by work very often... but the "serious" dancer women in the corners are really ridiculous... well, the show is it :-))))

Woooow!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is SUCH A GREAT DUO!!!!! I absolutely love them!!! And this song ROCKS! Where are they now?? are they still making music???
