One of life's great pleasures is to know Gomez. Sit and listen with a smug grin on your face, safe in the knowledge that you are experiencing pure brilliance, whilst sparing a thought for those sadly missing out as they listen elsewhere.

2023 here! This is still just incredible after all these years. Proper smile music.

Liquid skin has got to be one of the best stoneass albums of all time😊

You can tell top musicians as soon as you heard them. So underrated, absolutely pukka!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

First time I've heard this song in over a decade....... I still knew every single word! Great music. I know what I'm doing on my next day off. *Playlist time* 👍

How come no one knows how amazing Gomez are?! Try anything twice

Must see them live, amazing musicianship, don't forget to pogo when amped, they respond to that. Very original in every way, from the ground up. Also love Free To Run, exceptional song, very meaningful too.

These guys are one of the best Quintets going around, such amazing harmonies. I saw Ben and Ian doing a duo together and they were sensational live.

The forgotten 90’s band,I loved these guys

Same here Harold! Can't believe I only recently heard of them as they are a truly amazing band.

going to see the boys next month can't wait...gonna be awesome!

Ben's voice is amazing

managed to get tickets for rock city last yr and they absolutely smashed it!

i am the other side of 65... this is one of the best tunes i ever heard.

Great song as with so many by Gomez. Brilliant band.

Awesome tune, and they are playing next month!!!

i found them by accident.Amazing im 62

you start realizing the huge message they have for you in this song. my favourite line is "could not look son house in the eye". if you know who son house is, this line should kick you in the nuts. that's how powerful it is. the r'n'b alibi is just an excuse for people to shake their booties on TV screens and produce the same thing over and over again without creative input. "try anything twice, anyone can try anything twice" - genius disguised in a mocking r'n'b-styled song by gomez. genius.

They have been touring a lot in the US, made quite a lot of fans there and released their 6th album 'A New Tide' a couple of months ago. They're now on tour in Europe and played some shows opening for Pearl Jam. (!!!) I'll be seeing them for the 3rd time this year in November. They still kick massive arse live, so go and see them if you can.

Love it

Beautiful song

You have to have Gomez in your life!

Awesome.

Very underated band. Glad you found them Harold. Their first two albums are tremendous. They kind of lost their way... but the stuff seems pretty good again. Check out the first two records if you have the means. Cheers.

Greatest band ever.

Still makes me smile groove and shivers still... . :)

A do Love them..MEZ..SEEN EM LIVE LATE 90S EARLY NOUGHTIES..

This and Rosalita. What a 1-2 punch on the album. Not to mentioned followed by California and Devil Will Ride

Gomez rock... I've seen them live 6 times in Australia... LOVE them... Ollie's voice is magic :)

Seeing them 4 the first time in Nov too :0)

THATS a SONG for me!

Delta blues legend

cool song

音樂風格相當另類，但很耐人尋味，是非主流中的奇花異草，值得推薦與收藏!

#sober for nearly two years now - this was drinking background noise for me in another life...

Take this as my alibi any day

it is just sweet sweet music, enjoy and dont overthink.

Superb song. Reply with your memories of when you heard this!

Still here 2020 :D

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi You can sell your soul and lay the blame all on the passers-by You shake your body on the TV screen It seems to me, you'd try anything twice And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac You can give it to me, to me Plain to see that I'll give it you back You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice Chasing after stories that have already been told Could not look old Son House in the eyes Unaware you carry such a fragile load But I've got yours, and you've got mine It's a rhythm and blues alibi You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise You can give it your all, 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, line You shake your booty on the TV screen Seems to me, you'd try anything twice You'd try anything twice Well, let me hear you now Chasing after stories that have already been told Could not look old Son House in the eyes Unaware you carry such a fragile load And I've got yours, you've got mine It's a rhythm and blues alibi

the first line of the the lyrics i believe is referring to how easy to make melodies with the blues chord pattern.

Good song

Music is allright. Vid eats it.

Liquid skin what an album wow

🥺💔…… go again yea 🔥✊☮

nice one bruvs

What happend to these guy's?....bought the first 4 albums...Saw them live at Brixton...Where are they now ?

Birds, feathered kind, have actually started to request this tune, when windows open, enthusiastic tweets of Get Miles, and numerous other Gomez tunes, will humanity ever wake i wonder?

i like this song........also good to hear james morrison guest vocaling at 1:10 LOLZ

great band where can i get the music from.

굿

It boggles my mind that this band isn't more well known, waaayy more well known. I guess when you know, you know.

Still no "LOVE" button. :(

Fucking awesome tune - reminds me of those cruel final days of being a hard drinking alcoholic! Now, play it at 1.25 speed and experience it with a little upbeat skip step! MMagic!

does anyone know what guitar Ben is playing?

Ahhh university nights

1:32-1.39 who came up with that idea for their video? Great tune tho flo

Gomez Fans: Why aren't more people listening to Gomez?!? *Gomez has a sudden, long overdue surge in popularity* Gomez Fans: Fuck off new fans, I liked them first!

헐 14년 전꺼다

A do love
