Einsturzende Neubauten - Sand

[YeOldeAgingHipster]

Long ago I went to a avant garde music video film fest and ended up with a VCR containing a live performance of this song, along with Husker Du and the other usual suspects. It must have been this performance. It haunted me long after my VCR tapes went the way of all things!

[TheMimifur]

What more could you ask for to cry?

One of the Greatest Bands covering One of the Greatest Song Writers Ever, What Else Could You Long For

[saravlinder]

... a wandering man I called him sand

[davechan130]

I SAW\them live in larry hide away in Toronto 85

[MrGutley]

Ven he tantsed he helt me tight

and ven he vokked me hom zat night

oll ze stars ver shinink bright

and zen he kissed me.

[trollfinger]

I heard them playing this last week, my god it was a great surprise.

[narodniq]

Date?

[brokenflower84]

When Blixa sings "Young woman share your fire with me".  I deeply wish he was singing that to me. right now I want Blixa badly despite the fact he's married.

[ysbaddaden2003]

I hear the Jonas Brothers are remaking it.

[noisesionoise]

@ysbaddaden2003 so sad

[meimtwiztid420]

@ysbaddaden2003 this song?? wow....

[gsh73la]

@ysbaddaden2003 Why even mention shit like them people ? How old are you ?

[letztesBiestamHimmel]

Poor quaity but great version. Can't stop hearing...

[thefrankiex]

"special" as in, you can do anything!

[mizwild]

as in, I should wear a helmet inside my home special, lol. If I could do anything, I'd add this vid to my collection. Sigh!

[mizwild]

Apparently I ride the short bus. I've attempted to add this to my favorites as least a dozen times. Ahh, to no avail. Anyone else have this prob. Or am I just "special"

[halcyondiz]

can I favourite this more than once? seems just too intense

[IchbinSchalker]

This version from EN is fucking intense.

[NACHGEBURTEN]

i am a stranger in your land

[gt40mk2]

Sorry that was meant for another video!

[gt40mk2]

Something like this could only ever be created in Europe. It is just stunning. Superbly artful execution of a fantastic idea.

[iamguitarmutt]

What a great interpretation of a great song. It makes it new all over again.

[MRORiverside]

6 ways till sunday huh? Modimidofrsaso could have a whole new meaning!

[1HAETJ00]

Is it wrong of me to fantasize about two men getting it the fsck on when I hear this? Cause I mean if not, screw all the rest of you pink boys. Y'ALL ARE PANSIES! Blixa, I'd screw him six ways to sunday anyday, accept for wednesdays thursdays...

[trollfinger]

Hahahaha i saw a comedian saying something similar "i have friends who hear somebody is gay they freak out. I ask them what their problem is ? The gays aren't real men, their not tought. Not tough ? They want to fuck men !!

Great comment though.

[mzfiguer]

"young woman, share your fire with me!"

[riserobot]

my heart is cold, my soul is free

[ysbaddaden2003]

"You fill me with inertia..."

[sirionero]

better cover ever

[sterlingcale]

Version absolument énorme !

[Arjanajanath]

Well, Lee Hazlewood actually wrote it (as so many of "her" songs) but they sang it together... Both versions are very beautiful in very different ways!

[trollfinger]

I think the bad seeds are going down this road with less extremem methods. night of the lotus eaters sounds like blixa should have stuck around. but EN arehis band.brilliant

[GoughHawke]

I've been thinking the same thing, I think Blixa leaving gave Nick a kick up the ass, because Blixa would fit in perfectly on a few tracks from Abbotoir Blues and most of Grinderman and Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! So much more...noise.

[trollfinger]

My favourite bad seeds song is "the weeping song". It's the song that made me fall in love with the bad seeds and Blixa had a huge part to play in that. Warren Ellis is doing a good job doing Blixas job, but i miss him standing there doing his thing. He will always be a bad seed in my eyes.

[zgbk]

Halber Mensch, fucking amazing album

[ghhholem]

Fantastic and dream-made music. It's avantgardist and dadaistic and weird and sexy and intense. Good shit, worth looking for. Einsturzende Neubauten is a movement, a manifest and an out-of-border message. Good shit!

[Salatta666]

Blixa's voice hypnotizes

[CircusOfHeaven]

i love Blixa's over-smoked voice

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Hells yeah! They were the first "proper" industrial band I got into, still my favourite in the genre to this day.

Btw, I never knew this was originally a Nancy Sinatra song.

[silentzedjozn]

Encore! Encore!

[Apollodore]

♥ Favorite!

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Is it me or does it sound like Sascha from KMFDM is singing part of the album version of this song?

[fedbymum]

It`s only you. Sascha was barely in his teens when Sand was recorded.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Haha fair play. *trots off to have ears checked*

[subcultureshock]

why do my replys come out as comments...GRRR

[hog345]

太棒了！

[riserobot]

这是一个涵盖首歌。你应该听到原。它的完全不同。

[bicyclesophie]

i could listen to this over and over. wait . . . i do. EN was alway the best.

[fedbymum]

I miss covers like this.

[pooman85]

The pinnacle of Industrial!! Thanks for this video!

[Nigel324]

I couldn't agree more! And the pinnacle of noise as well.

[evenfiercernow]

Wholly irrelevant, but did you all know that when Gillian X-Files Andrson was a 13-year old living in London she was masively into Neubauten? I know, I know, that's such a Comic Store Guy thing to know...all the same, she must have been rather cool.

[sydbarrett5]

That's cool. Gillian is a very intelligent person.

[grisflyt]

Better than the album version.

Critics are always wrong. Their lot in life is to be on the side of wrong.

[subcultureshock]

lol

[averilleX]

I'd definitely still call any of these guys 'Sand'

xxx

PS Reminds me why a journalist once described Blixa's guitar playing as 'John Cale with no hands'.

[halfemptyfilms]

Wow! As harshly instrumented as that was, I almost cried at the beauty of it. Many musicians go the experimental route, but only a handful of experimental musicians can really master what they do. Bravo!

[quixotiq]

Oh, god, I love this! If anyone hasn't bought the Halber Mensch album, BUY IT!

[pooman85]

I have it. I like Haus Der Luge better...

still good though

[Krysa2200]

My favourite song!

[blixa101]

i love einsturzende neubauten they still rock

[subcultureshock]

hey i figured youd be on here. ITS KITTY!

[Absinthus]

agrees with downloaded1.. not as instense but really just as good.

[downloaded1]

Early Neubauten was quite an intense experience.

They're still good now.

[ZombieDragQueen]

Well Jet'm is the first cover (on Je T'aime Moi Non Plus of Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin), although maybe it's more appropriate to say it's an adaptation rather than a cover? Not sure, but it's damn charming anyway.

[malonemuert]

EN said themselves in Strategies Against Architecture II booklet that "Sand is our second song absorption after Jet'm".

[Priemgetal]

very nice clip indeed

[abazurka]

hi!Im a fresh fan of EN...Thanks for this video!

[mado0o000oooo]

[grishh]

[lelliesandremains]
