本国と時差あるかもだけれど、自分は前年の「inbetweener」が衝撃だったな。 たぶん日本だと、映画の「Train spotting」のカバー挿入歌で知名度が上がったくらいで Sleeperって、一部の洋楽ファンにしか認知されてなかったのが残念だった。 洋楽誌での情報も少なかったし、MTVでPVが観られるくらいだったからね。 それでもタワーレコードやＨＭＶが、日本に進出してきた時代だったから 「 ATOMIC」や、この曲、「Nice guy Eddie」くらいまでは ＣＤを買えたから、まだマシだったかな。 聴きたくても、MTVでしか聴けない曲とか多かったんよ。

Its 2024 and still listening! ❤

It's never gonna be this good so... Damn, she was right.

I was twenty six. I saw Louise Werner on TV performing this and I bought the CD the same day. I still play it after another twenty six years have gone by.

This was the level back then. Every other week there was a really good song and solid video coming along. The music industry really lost its way at some point.

Live Forever: The Rise and Fall of Brit Pop is a 2003 documentary film written and directed by John Dower. The documentary is a study of popular culture in the United Kingdom during the mid-to-late 1990s. The focus of the piece is the main movement in British popular music during that time, which came under strong media attention and was dubbed Britpop.

Amazing! I remember listening to Sleeper in my teens (I'm 39 now) and always enjoyed the music. Googling now, they are still together and making music, awesome! I also had a thing for Louise as she is extremely pretty!

The drummer`s dad in this band was my science teacher at school :)

20 odd years later and louise you still melt snow flakes ....gorgeous...

I was 35 but got mistaken for a lad in his 20's back then. Great memories played this one today. Louise Wener lived the life & dream of a Britpop star.

Grew up in the sixties listening to the Beatles and the kinks. Then Led Zeppelin. But I love the rawness of this track superb.

Louise is such a great, great lyricist. She should writing more songs.

I just remembered she was one of my 90s crushes... Along with Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star. But damn! All of those guitars in water... That was a really 90s thing to do. Blur also did a video (IIRC) with lots of water and guitars... I feel sad for the waterlogged guitars. Great to see 2 telecasters in the video though. I remember Strats and Les Pauls being more popular in those days.

when I make my semi-autobiographical movie about a young lad in the 90s trying to find a way in life, this will be the track for the montage where he's walking down the road looking in shop windows and replying to "help wanted" ads.

I'm reading Louise's book Different For Girls, an excellent memoir of growing up in the eighties and what it was like being in a band in a long vanished era
