Every Sunday, us moderators will take it in turns to select a song to shine a light on and discuss for the week, either from S Club 7, their solo music or S Club Juniors. I'm taking week 1 and I've selected S Club Party b-side Our Time Has Come! ZAIBwl1x5Yc I love this one as it's one of the very few S Club songs where they all have a solo! One of my favourite b-sides of theirs, and it was included on the S Club Party Live Tour! What do you think about Our Time Has Come? Refresh your memory with a relisten using the video above and tell us your thoughts! Edited May 29, 20232 yr by Slayer
February 26, 20232 yr Great idea for a thread! Looking forward to this weekly now. Will give it a listen after work today. :)
February 27, 20232 yr Oh wow, I haven’t listened to this song in forever! It is so nice to hear each of them!
February 27, 20232 yr Literally one of my favourite first album era tracks. Partly because they did it with the same team - Elliot Kennedy, Tim Lever and Mike Percy - it's got that same sort of "Bring It All Back" vibe to it but also a bit of a sunny, tropical vibe! If this got put onto streaming it would literally make me so happy ☺️
February 27, 20232 yr Just listened to this for the first time since 1999/2000 and I actually don’t remember it. I did own the S Club Party single though so I know I had it. It’s not bad, I would t place it in my top half but it was really pleasant. I had trouble picking up all 7 voices individually though.
February 27, 20232 yr Never heard this before , the chorus is so damn catchy but the verses not so much!
March 5, 20232 yr Week 2's song of the week: Who Do You Think You Are? Hey everyone, it is my turn to choose the song of the week! My choice is 'Who Do You Think You Are?', this is one of my absolute favourite S Club songs, I think it is the perfect pop song. It is just so catchy! I remember always rewinding the video tape to replay them performing this song on their film :P I was that obsessed with the song and I still am! I wish this song could have been a single, in my eyes it was definitely single worthy! I would die if this was performed on the tour later this year. I have such fond memories of this song and watching 'Seeing Double' in the cinema. What are your thoughts on 'Who Do You Think You Are?' 5RkmwnmMXTI 6NLwQ4PnUJk
March 5, 20232 yr Author I suppose the film more or less coinciding with their split and Say Goodbye made the chance for Who Do You Think You Are to be a single non-existent, but they really missed out on the perfect movie tie-in song! It's the most prominent of their non-singles in the movie by miles. I love how each of the members gets a solo in it too. A big highlight :wub:
March 5, 20232 yr I'm still appalled this has never been performed live :( We need to get this on the set list for the tour :lol:
March 6, 20232 yr Just listened to this. Agree Slayer, this is great. I'm guessing this was made for the movie with the line 'When your a clone, you know you're never alone.
March 6, 20232 yr Author Maybe it was planned as a single then scrapped? Perhaps! Though I'm not sure there's been any solid confirmation (unlike Dance, for example!)
March 6, 20232 yr Perhaps! Though I'm not sure there's been any solid confirmation (unlike Dance, for example!) Thanks Joseph. Never knew Dance was planned to be a single.
March 7, 20232 yr First time hearing this and im not a fan. Reminds of a terrible version of out of your mind. Maybe hearing it at the time i would have thought differently! Hell No to being on the tour!
March 11, 20232 yr The reason it sounds a bit True Steppers-esque is because it is produced by one of the True Steppers - Jonny Lisners! He and Cathy Dennis wrote and produced the song, along with "Do It Till We Drop". In an ideal parallel universe, if the last album era has been handled a lot better, and Jo hadn't had back problems and Paul was still there, we would have got "Alive" a lot earlier than we did as a single (late August / early September) if we absolutely had to, and this would have been the follow-up, released as the second single along with the album and the movie in late November (they really didn't need to wait to release the movie until April the following year. It wasn't that high concept!) It would have shown that "Don't Stop Movin'" wasn't just a one off and that they could move forward with another punchier sounding dance pop single but with a different vibe. I suppose the only thing that works against it is the fact that unless you've seen the film, the lines "When you're a clone, you know you're never alone" don't make much sense. Other than that it's one of my picks for best lost single that never was from the "Seeing Double" era.
March 13, 20232 yr Week 3's song of the week: Dangerous ofw7fms1MOs I've chosen Dangerous, the B Side to their #1 single Have You Ever. I listened to it quite recently and I found the chorus to be a bit of an earworm! It's quite a sensual song. :cool:
March 13, 20232 yr Author An inspired pick there Jay! I remember being all over this at the time, this could potentially have been my first S Club CD single (and possibly first CD single ever...!). In the years since I've revisited it less but a fresh listen has reminded me how good it is! I can understand it being a b-side, I wouldn't kick anything off Sunshine to allow this onto the main album, but it's a strong track.
