Just been reminiscing with my brother about the golden days of Indie and jingle jangle in the late 80's which led me to look up 'Therese'. What a tune, such urgency about it and it instantly transports me back to the heady, sunny summer days of being a teenager with the new found freedom of 6th Form after leaving school, this song makes me feel alive! As other folk have said before me The Bodines were an ace band who deserved greater recognition. I still have my 12" of this and it gets a regular airing and is popular with my kids too. When I listen to this I instantly then start my own Indie Nostalgia Disco and have to play stuff by other bands of the same era such as The Railway Children, The Waltones, The Loft, The Pastels and The Mighty Lemon Drops. Daisy and Noah I always thought your Dad had the best fringe in pop, I was and still am rather jealous of that fine barnet!
Fresh as an evergreen daisy! As vivid now as when I first fell in love with them whilst listening to Peel session back in1987! Is that REALLY 30 years ago? Ouch!!!
Magic English guitar pop at its very best. What a fabulous song and what joyous pop. I saw them at Central London Polytechnic in 1986. So liberating, lovely nostalgia to hear it again 34 years later! God bless The Bodines...
I love how videos of forgotten British Indie bands are full of excited comments from their children. I played this just now for the first time in over 30 years and it sounds great.
There were a lot of bands of this genre at the time, the term land-fill indie was bandied about but they really have stood the test of time! I challenge anyone who listened to this first time round to listen again and not have a big smile on their face!
'Landfill Indie' only came about in the 000's. Nobody mentioned that term in this era. This was the C86 period, these bands were the NME's darlings at that time. 'Baggy' bands like The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays and the early acid house explosion from 1988 onwards killed bands like The Bodines and the rest of the jingly jangly types off.
Noah and Daisy - I think this and "Slip Slide" came out around 1987. I was 25 and they made me very very happy - they still do, and I'm an old fart now - thank your dad and let him know his music STILL makes people happy. I still have the imported vinyl in Hollywood!
I used to work with Mick at BT Internet and he was a top bloke. First guy I ever met who'd had a proper record deal. Very impressive to a young musician, as I was back then. Best wishes to him and his family. Graeme.
not arsed if people think there a manc band but if a band comes from derbyshire thats were their from, I don't think someone in glossop would call them a manc band
Watched this band a few times at ,what was then the Boardwalk club on little peter street Manchester,if iam not wrong they were from Glossop...i still have this 7" single on creation records ....
I heard this for the first time yesterday and thought, "wow, the vocalist sounds exactly like Lloyd Cole -- is this not a recording of his?". Looked it up and The Bodines are also from Derbyshire -- I'm an American so I have no understanding of the regional accents of the English Midlands -- but does being from Derbyshire account for Michael Ryan and Lloyd Cole having such similar singing voices?
I was never a fan of the C86 stuff, but I love this song, I still love it now, I still love The Bodines now. The bastard son of early Orange Juice meets the guitar sensibilities of New Order, what's not to like?
is that a fact? never knew that! great song, I call your name was outstanding....but the album was a disappointment in all honesty....and I only managed to get my hands on a copy of it a few months back. I had high hopes and waited so long!

Yeah, it was a great fringe !
I was always gutted that I couldn't grow one.
My hair was too curly, and now it's gone.
I was 20 when the C86 tape came out. What a great time to be young...
Damn I feel there should be a c86 revival, 18 right now and would love to grow up with this music
"It scares the health out of me"
What a song.
What a memory of younger days.
Jingle jangle guitars!
the bodines are like this perfect 80s nostalgia wich isnt corny at all and still feels fresh and relevant. hits in me in the feels mann

Easily one of the best songs off of C86
One of the most catchiest songs ever.
I love how videos of forgotten British Indie bands are full of excited comments from their children. I played this just now for the first time in over 30 years and it sounds great.
Saw them in a small pub in Leicester circa 1986. This still takes me right back there. Rather wonderful.
Great song. Great memories. Why this band never had critical recognition is beyond me. Great pop songs.
My precious album that I keep carefully for decades so I can play it forever ♥
Love this band! Up there with The Chameleons, the Mighty Lemon Drops and The Close Lobsters. Brings back many happy childhood memories. Thank you.
Nick Loader You have an awesome taste in music.One of my top favs are The Church, The Chameleons, and House Of Love.
@@cockatoomagnet583
I agree👍
Agree.
All these bands had flavour to their roots. 😇
Television Personalities too!!!
A pop classic, up there with The Smiths and Aztec Camera. Should have sold enough to allow them to retire.
One of the best pop songs EVER!!!
i think "the back door" is their best

I saw them supporting James at KGH BLACKBURN in September 1986… this song stuck out a lot… I saw them a few times around then also
my favourite 80's jangly guitar band
Back when indie was great!
Epic song from one of the best compilations in music history!
mick is my DAD
Daisy Ryan can you ask him how I can listen to his band this day in age? Can't find their albums anywhere aside from vinyl :/ thank u! Cheers
Aww Daisy and Noah you should be really proud of your dad, some of the best tunes of the 80s and ever!
Noah and Daisy - I think this and "Slip Slide" came out around 1987. I was 25 and they made me very very happy - they still do, and I'm an old fart now - thank your dad and let him know his music STILL makes people happy. I still have the imported vinyl in Hollywood!

course he is pal🧐
Not enough comments for this video and band. Let's not forget these guys. A++
Sixty one views. It's a mad world. Loved this album when it came out.
my dad's a bloody legend.
Saw them a couple of times.
Great band.
Yeah the Bodines should have been huge. They were a huge influence on better known Manchester bands. This song still sounds fantastic.
from derbyshire wernt they?
+progforce field Yeah they were from Glossop (On the border?). Although I always just thought of them as a Manchester band.
nah glossop in derbyshire is not manchester at all
sucks their bank acount dont matcch their contribution to pop music culture lets crowd sorce that anomoly!!!!!!!
not arsed if people think there a manc band but if a band comes from derbyshire thats were their from, I don't think someone in glossop would call them a manc band
I love this so much
Those were the days. Bay63 and C86.
Watched this band a few times at ,what was then the Boardwalk club on little peter street Manchester,if iam not wrong they were from Glossop...i still have this 7" single on creation records ....
Correct. Was there too. Saw the Inspirals supporting them at McR Uni too
Genial. This is real jangle indie
majorly underated band
OMG !!!!! Not heard this in ages and I sooooo love it
I heard this for the first time yesterday and thought, "wow, the vocalist sounds exactly like Lloyd Cole -- is this not a recording of his?".

It scares the health out of me

God bless you Mick.
kids looked just so much cooler back then. what happened? the 90s?
They sound like the Northern version of The Replacement's!!! Holy shit!! this is good
I love the C86 stuff but never understood what was supposed to be so good about this song...never got it then or now
check the wax in your ears
I was never a fan of the C86 stuff, but I love this song, I still love it now, I still love The Bodines now. The bastard son of early Orange Juice meets the guitar sensibilities of New Order, what's not to like?

Thought the album was a LOST 80's classic! Waiting to be rediscovered by the Culture-At-Large! IMHO!
Should have been a hit
3:13 too long
