Lyrics below:
O-o-o-o-oh
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Yeeeh
Am I coming through?
Am I coming through?
Is this sweet and pure and true?
Devil came by this morning
Said he had
Something to show me
I was looking like I′ve never seen a face before
Here we go now, let's slide into the open door
Pictures and things that I′ve done before
Circling around me
Out here on the floor
I'm dreaming this and I'm dreaming that
Regretting nothing
Think about that
I′m seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Yeah I′m shining
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Lord, I′m shining
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
Are you hearing me?
Like I′m hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I′ve been
You know I've almost lost my mind
I can't explain
Where I′ve been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn′t explain
What I've seen
I′m happy now to have seen it
To find that the images are fading away
I'm seeing waves breaking forms to my horizon
Yeah I′m shining
I'm seeing waves breaking forms to my horizon, lord
I′m shining yeah
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
Are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
I can′t explain
Where I′ve been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain
The things I′ve seen
But now I think I see the light
Now I think I see the light
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon
Yeah I′m shining
I'm seeing waves breaking form to my horizon, lord
I′m shining
Oh are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me?
Like I'm hearing you?
You know I almost lost my mind
Now I′m home, and I′m free
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
You'd better go to bed now

2023 and still one of the best dance tracks EVER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also 😂❤
The devil's in the details ❤
Beyond amazing!!
I think we have all passed the acid test. Fabulous video clip love the flashbacks it brings 2023 ☮️
Almost One Billion views! Not too shabby. 🔥
Richard Ashcroft voice... Oh man, love so much.
The voice of god with the angels of electronica 🎶❤️
Richard Ashcroft recorded some amazing work. I really lived for some of his early solo stuff, "On a Beach", "The Lovers", and things he recorded with his band and artists like this. His voice is so mellow and relaxes me.
Masterpiece. So many years have passed and I still feel exactly the same emotions like I first time heard this song. Absolutely the same powerful emotions. From kid to teen, from teen to adult now. For me it will be always 1 of the best song ever made by mankind.
I just feel the same, music and video all tougher in one.
how some one can figure out. come with idea that amaze masses
ditto my friend
you passed the test
it is actually more relevant now than ever
I love how The Chemical Brothers tried to tell a story with the video to their songs. Always get goosebumps the moment the girl is suddenly surrounded by people dancing around her just after a house almost fell on top of her and Richard singing "My heart and soul, they are free" combined with the elevated music. This is pure art.
its quite simple, soul is in the ether , the waters above, where time and corruption dont exist, once u are bornt, u are channeld through the astral world (stars , which are simple luminaries ) and once u incarnate you see alll the stars above, which were souls, like you , before encarnating into the material world
In order to understand this, u have to have full knowledge of the flat earth cosmic view, if ure nasa pro u absolutely have no right in understanding this
Dear Chemical Brothers, your music is immortal, so is my love to you ❤
This song is just as powerful as the day it came out. Much love to all the 90’s kids who experienced this and made it through.
And the 80's kids of course.
@UserNo84 yeah hahah found this pretty funny because of that, 2000s kid here who has every chemical brothers song ingrained in their mind because dad used to love em
@@wolfuck I'm a 90s kid, only heard this song the other day after my dad was playing his chemical brothers cd in the car lol
70's kid here (1973) and I still get Goosebumps when I watch the video and listen to this beautiful song.
Xxx
Cranked UP on a 65" screen! with 5.1 really LOUD! My latest ear-worm Jamz!
Transcendental. The drums, the vibe, the creepy atmosphere, that IMMENSE drop/chorus with Ashcroft's magnificent voice over it...I was about 11-12 when this came out and the video creeped me out, but the music, the music spoke to me. I cried with joy hearing it again about 4-5 years ago randomly after so long.
Still one of the coolest and trippiest music videos ever created.
RainyDayMerman yes I agree
++))
YES
HELL YEAH!!!!
looks like a psychedelic experience done right
This song is great, Richard Ashcroft is one of the greatest singers around. This video rocks! Is 2022 and still is awesome!
👍👍👍
Zamn , i knew i know this voice from somewhere, thx mate
Sad, this song is soooo underrated, a lot
agree👍👍👍👍
I KNEW I recognized that voice!!!😃😃😃
I heard this whole album when I was 8 years old, it was one of my uncle's CDs. He told me: he closes his eyes and enjoys the music as if you were off the planet. And so it was, today at 29 years old I enjoy these classics and they fill my soul!
2023 and keep smashing this track!
Grande Chemical Brothers, from Peru!
Sir, i insist you take that comment back, as i am simply not old enough for this track to be 21 years old
Deberia tocarse a menudo en Machu Pichu, comiendo un rico cui a la barbacoa.
I watch it fully sober and I trip so hard, every single time.
Masterpiece
eyv bro
ever tried it "not sober"? =)
Congrats for sober👍
It's my best 'earworm'.
don't rely on them to get you high
What a Great Combination: The Chemical Brothers and The Singer from The Verve: Richard Ashcroft's. And The Video is just out of this World.
Thaaaaaaaaank you! That's been driving me nuts for a while now, lmao. My mom kept saying its that dude that looks like Oggy from Covert Affairs but sounded like Matt Dillon; Couldn't remember cause all I could do was laugh every time it came up lmao
HUGUINI And inspired on the greatest Polish singer Czeslaw Niemen.
I'ts a bittersweet sensation ;)
I didn't knew that, thanks!!
sounds like Bono from U2 for me :D
2021 and still!! What a track my God
Richard Ashcrofts vocals 😍
Where can I find an instrumental version of this?
Agreed
Explain

Words can’t describe how much I love this song and video.. never have a seen a video match the music like this.. it’s absolute perfection. God I miss these days!!

Didya 'pass'?
Many times
This piece is so good that it uses samples from the song "Pielgrzym"(from the album "Aerolit", 1974) by Polish composer Czesław Niemen.
wow, thank you, like, seriously, now I've been swimming for 2 hours on the musical scene form 70s Poland and there's no way back
It's a pride to have such artists like Niemen in history of my national music stage, as he went pretty international. Unfortunately, many Polish masters of his kind isn't known beyond borders. Therefore it's nice to read that they are still being discovered by not only Polish next generations
Im Polish and a fan of Niemen and i love this song. Never knew the same was taken from him. Impressive
Cool!Столько лет слушаю группу и не знал этого факта!:)
кстати Неман это река в Беларуси и Литве:)
By the way, the Neman is a river in Belarus and Lithuania :)
For me this is the best song from Chemical Brothers, and the video is haunting, perfect to make the listener feel deep emotions. The sea, the beach, the whole northern atmosphere...just beautiful.
And Ashcroft's voice is just the cherry on the cake.
this ain't a song, this is a pray from our souls .
Most definently.
I feel the same way
*prayer
I agree with you
Correct. She or we are in the belly of the beast. Leviathan. Lots of sun worship references and magic/witchcraft, one eye on t-shirt. Then she drinks up the milk at the end. Oh dear. 🙈
Richard Ashcroft's voice is just too good, and fits the beats of the Chemical Brothers for this track perfectly ........
Who's listening in 2024??
I am
Me
I am!!

Я!
This song and video changed my life as a teenager.
That's so Awesome xx
I have a serious relationship with this song and with this videoclip, since forever, forever.
For me is the same reality! I listened it when I was eleven and now with 26 is the same feeling, Just love it!!!!
i think me too... i heard this song 12 years ago and now i'm 24 and i'm still impressed
exatcly the same
For me is the same, strange!
yep, first time I heard it was 15 years ago and I did listen to a lot of music since then... but this one... it has been #1 the whole time... forever burned into my memory and it does not matter if I listen to it after a year or 5x times a day!
Ashcroft's voice shining through as per usual. What a man.
Lucky Man.
The Chemical Brothers have so many good songs but this one is definitely my favorite, it gives me this feeling I can't describe, similar to visiting an unknown place and waiting to explore it, discovering the unknown.
Agreed! I'm always feelin' it! Did I pass?
Ask the axis
My favorite chemical brother video and song
One of the best audio-visual experiences of my generation. The editing is brilliant.
If anyone's curious, the girl is Holly Weston (17 in this video but now 30) who is currently playing Ash Kane in Hollyoaks. That was my fun fact of the day. Oh and also this is one of my favourite music videos ever.
I always love tris video And I'm The same girl's age....oh what a beautiful memories
+Brave Dave Took me almost 3-4 years to find her name back then..oh how easily information comes these days! I still haven't found the others' girl name though...with the dark hair
+Christoss007 Haha, it was exactly the same with me! When I first saw the video I wanted to know who she was but there was no info anywhere. I remember going through tons of CZcams comments seeing if anyone had mentioned it earlier. Right at the bottom someone had posted her name but even then there was only a bit of info elsewhere about her as she'd not acted in anything else. That's actually why I posted her name a couple of months ago, so that other people may be saved the effort of trawling through it all, because I'm so good and selfless. But you're right, information comes more and more easily now. There's even a Wikipedia page about this video! No mention of who plays the dark haired girl though. Probably the director's cousin or something.
Brave Dave The song is that old!??!
+drtbag39 Well the title of this video says "2003" so yeah, the video is 13 years old ;)
ケミカルブラザーズの曲の中で一番好きだわ
シンプルにカッコいいとしか言えない
This song helped me overcome an uncertain time in my life recently. Thank you guys.
Me too just now as this song is ending I read your comment
❤️💪🏾🙏🏾✔️
One of my favourite video ever.
anche il mio!!!!
Have anyone found club with so many girls?
anywhere in toronto playing d&b/jungle
Flipante
Masterpiece of electronic music, this is school
One of many times Tom and Ed have schooled the masses on how to make epic electronic music to extreme perfection
A aasterpiece is the improvisation on moog of Czeslaw Niemen. They asked him to use his improvisations from the song The pilgrim, from the LP Niemen Aerolit (1974).
After 20 years later or more and I finally have experienced the lyrics, nothing to do with psychedelics, just life & my inner self.
"You know I almost lost my mind..... But now I′m home, and I′m free"
the reality of psychedelics w/o consuming them. Chemical Brothers. Always pass the acid test
Absolute beauty of a song and video.
Honestly, it gives me Goosebumps to this day everytime I listen and watch it.
Tried to share it with friends/family before, they didn't "get it".
But I do and it's my "go to" song that makes me feel better.
Xxxx
It’s ok, you’re not alone - I get it and I completely share the unique love and appreciation of this song and video
I hear you, like your hearing me. (Seriously, I know what you mean).
For ten years I've been searching for a better music video.. No luck. Beyond amazing.
I know too fucking perfect right!?
Watch clams casinos numb and gorilla videos
Amen to that.

just incredible

The TRUTH is the LIGHT that Guides Us through The DARKEST of HOURS!
For me this song embodies the feeling of losing one’s sanity. It’s such a unique song and I listen to it every day ❤️
I'll never forget this clip and song. Never.
My neighbours used to listen to this at full volume every fri night......they had no fucking choice..lol
cantseemeface But did they complain?
Lol, great comment.
F yeah
Can u hear me now?
so did mine,,and saturdays tooo lol
God. 2023 and it still sounds so good. Just beautiful.
Its 2023 & this tune still smashes it for me 👍
This is one of those timeless songs
Despite how long I've been free of drugs, this song always brings my mind right back to where it was in those days...
One of the best and most professional music clip and song I've ever heard and seen, can't stop listening it for years.
Listening on my first day in 2021
“my heart and my soul they r free”
peace and well being my sister

My heart and my soul they are free?
I come back to this video every once in a while...Great song, excelent singer and mind blowing visuals. This is perfection
Richard Ashcroft…Omg what a sexy voice. 🥰
I've listened to the chemical brother's since the late 90s...it never gets old! Memories of a better time!!!
“My heart and my soul- they are free.” I was 15 when this came out. I remember seeing it on MTV2 after school. My boyfriend at the time was really into hallucinogenics, but I preferred to stay clean as a whistle, for no other reason than I was too scared to experience my brain in an altered state. However, when I saw this, despite it being a love song to lysurgic acid, I vividly remember telling myself that one day, when I’m ready, I must experience 🍄’s. 16 years later, I tried it, and my heart and my soul? They are finally free. I’m now a mini-cosmonaut at 36 as I was a bit of a late bloomer, but I can’t stress enough the psychological and spiritual benefits of most hallucinogens, namely psilocybin and LSD. Ahead of their time…this song and video are timelessly unforgettable. ❤️ Love and light to anybody who read this way too long anecdotal CZcams comment, LOL
I was a late bloomer too!
I tried it once. The alphabet turned into Hangul and it became too laborious to read. I played a Tarkov run up close on a big OLED screen and it was much like being inside. Then I thought really hard about a lot of things, which is what I do anyway. Heart and soul were not freed.
I remember when a Parking-Lot looked kewl... But, that was a Collage. 😅
Psychedelics are liiiife
So you're a drug addict? Yep, your "heart and soul" are certainly free... nothing like addiction to make someone free.
I love this song!!! I wanna cry!!! So many emotions!!!! So beautiful!!!!
Is pitiful
Gives me the chills every time...EPIC
No somos personas escuchando Música sin sentido, somos personas que sentimos Amor y Pasión por este género,
El cual nos hace sentir una sensación de Éxtasis, con lo que hemos Bailado, Llorado y Relajado.
Me desmotiva, que las personas digan, que es un solo género mas, que es Música sin sentido.
2020!!! 🎧🎵🎶 ¡¡¡Viva la Música Electrónica!!! 🎧🎵🎶
Con ese tema he ido a muchos planos espirituales amigo

If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you have a good taste in music. 💞👌😊👍
today i 've listened
it's my favorite ear-worm. An Excellent groove! with a lovely video.
The epitome of an audio visual experience.
Boys, you have been a massive part of some of the most memorable times of my life.
Thank you.
The opening reminds me of Dead can Dance, I honestly can not get enough of this song. I used to listen to The Verve endlessly back in the 90's. I thought they were a very underrated band and I even bought their sheet music for guitar. Richard is an excellent song writer. I love that The chemical Brothers collaborated with him. This is the coolest treat!!! Also The chemical brothers make the coolest videos!!!!
one love open eyes
Beautiful video!!! 😍
Richard Ashcroft is a genius!
2021 and will we ever have something at this level ever again ?
Still phookin awesome in 2023😈😈
I've always been fascinated by synaesthesia and I *love* this era of their music videos for testing the bridge between sound and vision. Some examples are obvious (Star Guitar) or the flashing jellyfish in this video. But some are beautifully for their subtlety, eg the flock of birds at 2:32 is definitely synced to the white noise pulses in the audio. Maybe I'm just wired a bit wrong, but it's very satisfying :)
If you’re wired a bit wrong, then I am too (and this is not only possible, but probable), and I love that shit too. The Star Guitar video puts me in a trance.
You're wired the best way possible lol 👾
Belly of the whale, chaos, waves breaking front of horizons, stepping through the devil's door. Jordan Peterson could do a three hour lecture on this 😂
Top notch stuff.
when i first discovered this song, i couldn't listen anything else for weeks. very powerful song combined with an amazing video.
I have listened to the song about 15 times is a row. I was too old with a job to have heard this when it first came around. Now I cannot get enough of the Chemical Brothers.
Work of the finest art. The best Chemical Brothers' piece imho. Wonder what classical composers like Wagner or Tschaikovsky would say about it if they hear it.
This video is simply perfect.
Richard Ashcroft is a genius!
Can't understand why when I was a kid never noticed the great piece of art in this song
when i was little i notice good music and nice girl and trippy videoclip :D
I love to see, how many people feels the same way i do about The Chemical Brothers and it's really nice to read you people, you're not annoying at all, and from my say thats outstanding when it comes to music today.
Peace.
what a piece of art...
Vocals by Richard Ashcroft. One of my all time favorites
Richard Ashcroft the verve..greetings from Morocco.
I love this song and video ♥ .... It is very mystical. The blonde girl reminds me of myself when I was a teenager: dreamy, introspective, slightly autistic, and looking for the deeper meaning of life, I avoided society. Was often alone for me
Hey that's me too! except im not a blonde girl obviously :)
Yea i know you weirdos..haha
Ma vaffanculo
Fa esti nebuna ! La fel ca mine . Ce pula mea. Dute drq
aint this about acid though? lol
the test is favorite track from "come with us" and as a kid I used to repeat this song over and over again on my old Walkman...
Those were the days....
BIG BEAT NEVER DIES
Love 4:16 the chick dancing in background, the beat. My god! My heart and soul they're free..
Right at the start I wasn't sure if it was Ashcroft, but his voice is so unworldly, ethereal that he immediately smacks you in the face and reminds you just how good he is.
Can't understand why when I was a kid never noticed the great piece of art in this song
This video is an eternal classic, and perfectly sums up the best of my experiences with perception-altering substances.
Richard Ashcroft has such a powerful voice...so fitting for this song! One of my favorites....together with the stunning video.
This is the best music video ever!
One of my favourite video ever.
I love this song!!! I wanna cry!!! So many emotions!!!! So beautiful!!!!
She is so beautiful
Quien haya hecho este videoclip es un crack, música e imagen encajan perfectamente. Muchas grandes canciones desgraciadamente no cuentan con buenos videoclips. Obra maestra
12 лет прошло с тех пор как первый раз услышал ЭТО. А чувства которые вызывает эта музыка сейчас такие же как в первый раз...
Аналогично, товарищ!
Именно это я услышал сейчас впервые. Круто!
Это точно. Что трек, что клип выше всяких похвал. Как будто проваливаешься в своё почти беззаботное и светлое прошлое лет 15 назад...

It's best forever!
More than just a video and more than just a song.
One of the absolutely best Chems, and songs itself ever, so packed with emotions, also as a polish dude i'm proud of sampling the Czesław Niemen's - Pielgrzym

Awe & wonder
What I love about this (and many Chemical Bros videos) is the _synaesthesia:_ the video is subtly, but perfectly in sync with the audio. Some examples: notice the video at 2:16, she not only lands on the ground precisely on the drum beat, but the video pulses as if shaken by her weight. There's the jellyfish at 1:35 glowing in time with the music. At 5:18, the video is reversed, reinforcing the song's reverse audio effect at precisely that moment.
I can't count how many perfect pairings there are in this video, but maybe with other people's help, we can find them all. Reply below.
This part too 4:06
1:58-2:04 the framing changes with each string note
@@baglio88 I hadn't noticed that! It just fit so perfectly.
@@manujulia5949 Yes, I don't know what to call it, but yes! 3:59 The Buster Keaton house facade with the phased white noise, landing perfectly around our unfazed protaganist, as the bass drum booms and the chorus comes in.

Man i remember being 12 years old and catching this video on MTV was sooo good, it was a turning point in what you could acomplish with a video clip. And The Chemical Brothers were always so good doing videos! Of course first of all its an epic song!!
So beautyful
Now 2023 and first time I heard this song about 10 years ago.Still top 3 and every time I got goosebumps. Chemical Brothers forever!❤
5:22 i don't know you guys but that three-tone, to me it means "come-with-us". Like if they were discreetly inviting us to use LSD after watching what is it really like
Mi canción favorita de este grupo...y el video una obra de arte.
