@skycladeskimo i kinda found this band by accident..i wanted to see videos of people surfing a 50 foot wave and this popped up and they remind me alot of a band called deadboy and the elephantmen..kinda weird..the singers name is dax riggs he does alot of solo stuff and is in a few other bands as well..agents of oblivion and daisyhead and the mooncrickets...check em out..
Great version. And in this one we don't have to listen to Stipe doing his Charles Nelson Reilly impersonation. Great job w/ the video also; you really edited that well. Amazing.
Still prefer the the original two versions by Kristin. The one with Michael Stipe and the pre-release version that came out on 4AD's 13 year itch limited edition CD. Her voice hadn't cracked at that point. Also, this song is all about quality of lyrics and feeling, so there isn't really enough room for the band to express themselves without killing that feeling. So musically they're limited to staying in first gear. A great song, but for me it's the third best version out of three.
I think the original video disappeared 'cause of Warners making a huge stink about "their" stuff being used on YouTube without them getting money for it...
I absolutely love this version. I don't know which version I prefer... Kristin has amazed me at every turn for over 20 years... She's just a total genius....
yeah, for some reason (legal, i'm sure) you can't find the original video anywhere online any more. it disappeared from MTV's site almost right before my eyes. found it, sent the link to some friends, went back to watch it like a week later, and it wasn't there any more. couldn't find it anywhere else either. have to ask K. exactly why that is.
It sounds pretty good but it sounds like Kristen tracked over the original recording with the electric guitar and , re-mixed the vocals. Almost sounds like Led Zep's Stairway to Heaven.
Great work on the video. Not convinced about the track: Your Ghost is fantastic, and 50 Foot Wave are amazing - but not together. Interesting though...
Brilliant

Kristin Hersh is bipolar. Before I couldn't tell just by listening to the song, but after I was told she was, it all came together.
