  • And it's not only his hair that is so beautiful, he's just a divine human being. But most of all it's his voice that penetrates the soul over and over again. I listen to the LOVE album every day and I hope to do so till I die

  • absolutely special song

  • this is a truly beautiful song , Love is a timeless album

  • This album is superb, and this song is its crowning jewel. The whole album flows flawlessly, it was written, produced, and performed so well it boggles my mind. It is always moving to hear this album, this song in particular. A quarter century old, and still captivates me from start to finish.

  • I meant LOVE, durh....

  • RAIN was my teenage mope music, lol. The Cult rules! Thanks for posting and great job with putting the solid studio track with all those great photos of the band.

  • takes me back--an epic band

  • OH YEAH!! ALL TIME FAV!!

  • BILLY DUFFY

  • what a composition....amazing song...

  • love this!!! Lyrics are fab!!

  • A great Cult Classic. Their slow songs were there best (and something few bands today can do well)

  • My favorite they ever did! Ian had the most beautiful hair I had EVER seen on a man at that time.

  • This song is for my soul brother who died 19th January 2010, in life you give so much pleasure in death you are a spectrum shining brighter than the sun..... Oceans Of Love Always & Forever xxx X xxx

  • @SapphireSkies1976 nice my older bro also left earth last year and his last words were the light is to bright love you bro.

  • THE CUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLT!!!!!!!!!­

  • I saw them live in the Wikkii Sherton Ball Room in 1986. Bad ass!

  • Soooo nice....;-)

    

  • Amazing song. Changed my life.

  • I have "the southern death cult" LP. Great.

  • Love this song !!!! <3

  • Im pretty sure that guns n roses developed their "civil war" on the basis of this song

  • great memories!! kick ass!!

  • I love this song.... I love the Cult... I was about 12 when I first discovered them on MTV in 82... I have all of their stuff from the days of the Southern Death Cult to the present... As a guitar player of 30 years, some of my greatest memories are playing along with their music at very loud volumes... There's tranquilty, rage, madness, and a complete beauty that is captured in their music... It is like fine wine, as it ages it gets better and the buzz is more hypnotic and defined... LOVE...

  • Brother Wolf aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Sis-ter Mooooon. Can I get some thumbs up, please?

  • @Noodles37UK by far one of my fav bands wish more knew about this , i dont think thay disrve it fuck um

  • @thelatino5100 Fan of The Cult since about '85. I'm just not into all the other Goth bands to be honest.

  • Amazing track. It has a calming and relaxing quality. I listen to it almost every night before I go to sleep.

  • the thing about the cult is they didn't sell an album with only 1 or 2 good songs on it the whole album would just freaking rock.It would be ike a journey to get to the end of it and when you do you just start it over again. my favorite band ever

  • this 2011 new years I will buy a sale boat and play this song

    as I set sail for my favorite places in the world !!!!!

  • 2:05 best part

  • I was ten wenn i was lissen this vinil LOVE is greatest !

  • THE BAND IS ONE OF BEST EVER

  • The best album ever made :)

  • I want to cry every time I listen to this song!! My favorite song by The Cult!!

  • DAMN taking me back!!

  • good tunes..

    

  • I love the Cult so much. But, might it be true, on those two first albums (despite i learn its mostly psychic rock with post punk) that it's also gothic rock genre?

  • so epic..listen to a bulk of the music that came out the same year..The Cult were/are in a league to themselves

  • 4 sure their best song... i luved this from the first time i´ve listend 2 it... g8 song.... timeless

  • When ever I drive to the Everglades to be alone in nature, I listen to this song.

  • @MrFrankutube Hey I used to drive my 4x4 into the deep woods and listen to them.....I bet we r not the only souls that escaped into nature and listened to them....

  • damm good memories from the 80's listening to this music, I still love this band, a 60's child and we had some excellent music to carry us to this time, interesting that my kids like this style as well..:)

  • Love is definately the best cult album especially the version with "judith" included

  • Aguante The Cult!!!

  • Love might be the best Cult album to ever. May change my mind next month but I always go back to Love. Awesome album. I remember being one of like 3 other kids in my high school who were listening to them. All of us skaters and or bikers.

  • Is that guitar a Gretch White Falcon? Delicious song.

  • I bought Love when it came out, and at the time really didnt like this track. Just wanted all the other faster heavier stuff.

    20 or so years later, and its one of my all time favorites.

    Billy Duffy's guitar is sublime, and Astbury's voice a driving force.

    I saw the original Doors at Wembley, with him fronting them. One of the best concerts i have ever been to. You know its good when the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end and the tears stream down your face.

    Fucking incredible

  • I THINK I FEEL THEIR BEST SONG!

  • I just cannot believe the guitarist would audition for metallica of all bands.... jesus fucking chirst on a stick1!!!

  • @voltronsky

    Chris Wyse, who auditioned to play bass for Metallica, was the bass player for the Cult on only a portion of their 7th album, Beyond Good and Evil and toured with them fpr s hort time. Billy Duffy and Ian Astbury are the Cult...the bass player and drummer have changed many many times throughout the band's 26 years.

    Not that auditioning for Metallica is so bad. They keep their bass players around longer...with a bit of a death grip, it seems.

  • Epic

  • Rock'n 'em

  • thnx 4 posting.agree with ,,, Love is a timeless masterpiece n ths is a timelsess tune.have it on vinal but its great that others cn hear how great the tunes were in this era.R.

  • i must be blessed...off to see these legends of rock May 6 2010...a while between drinks....sydney 1988 if memory serves me correct...it may not...electric did it for me then, but LOVE is tres (much) indeed a true masterpiece esp this particular jolting, yet soothig tune...long live the cult

  • @voiceofadman

    where are u going to see them?

    Thankx

    Awnee

  • If and when I ever see the Grand canyon, I wanna sit on the edge and play this song...

  • bom video the cult ... best ballads

  • I used to listen to this in summer and with those thunderstorms going feels powerful, nostalgic, and free!

  • You'll like this, Sheanin

  • Great solo. "Love" is a great album and this song is a masterpiece. Heaven!!!!

  • ... love in the air , allivble to all allaround us  <3 ... thanks for this song the cult!!!

  • timing the first kiss with the first sound of thunder...in the desert, at sundown. That's life on Strawberry Hill...

  • I think I've just discovered something amazing...

  • discovery is rarely amazing. Sounds like the wind blew ordinary, away.

  • What a F*KN GREAT band! Listened to this album 1000's of times. Smokin' cloves and drinking 40's in the desert. Watching the sun go down. Building the confidence to kiss her before the song ends... and the sun goes down.

  • @vealshanker

    such a smart comment!!!

    accurate 100%

  • @vealshanker me too, but this album's a one-off isn't it. All their later albums lost the uniqueness of Love, and they became a bit more rocky like everyone else. Classic album.

  • @vealshanker ahhh 22 years ago - great song to kiss too.

    They never told us we would get old

  • Great Wolf Blow my fear away!!!

  • all good

  • The very best ever!

  • makes me thirsty for another beer!

  • awsome music awsome band

    The Cult rocks!!!!!! CFFC

  • do you remember the LIZARD KING?

  • one of my favorite songs of all time

  • I think my girlfriend is gonna say "Yep, this song is about you"

  • Ian's voice is seriously one of my top all time favorites.

  • great song, superb melody.

  • Love it - a Cult classic, magic memories...

  • I couldn't sleep unless this song was on and I would sit with my candles and incense and dream of the rain falling and hear thunder in a dreamy haze.... I love this so much

  • @Graver333

    Thats funny, I just logged on only to listen to this tune before I hit the hay.

  • @Graver333 i would do the same pretty much...sad to say it reminds me of happier times years ago when there was someone to share this song with to sleep...but i still love it :)

  • @Graver333 same same brilliant brilliant stuff

  • yes the Cult is sooo timeless- classic.

  • the cult has always rocked and they always will!! I had my whole music collection stolen many years ago i have tried to recreate my collection but its so hard to find the UK Bside albums i had.

    To all the The Cult fans live long and rock hard!!!

  • @easyrller There's an American mega box set with amazing stuff on it. For the life of me I don't know why these guys are so HARD to buy in the shops. But, hey, there's Katy Perry they want us to buy instead.

  • @Noodles37UK I think you are refering to Beggars Banquet Black box releases. There was "Rare Cult" 6cd's of mostly unrelased or rare stuff including the entire "Peace" album (plus a bonus mix cd) and the much harder to find "Rare Cult - demo sessions" (5cd's of just raw studio takes not mixed. Only 500 of these were made). Both of those were from England not the US.

  • @dinkydao I would need to order that package from America. Then YT go ahead and remove Assault on Sanctuary too. We just can't win : (

  • @didoodle you are not alone my friend the spirit is strong,dont ever give up,embrace change like a butterfly ,,as Einstein says nothing ever dies,,im right here if you need a friend.god bless

  • @666Angelfuck BEAUTIFUL there is nothing more to say

  • @didoodle I'm really sorry to hear you're terminally ill. make the most out of it and rock on! you should go see their show they are on tour.

    peace

  • @catalunarocks I would love to see them, but i am in Australia and i doubt they'll be playing at any gigs here :( The best thing is that i have beaten all of the medical statts as i am too busy to die at the moment, and so i will continue to get more years.

    Have you seen them???

  • @didoodle you never know they might show up in Australia, check online. I'm gonna see them on TUESDAY in Seattle, so stoked !!! I've loved them a long time, never saw them before, really thrilled, it's a small venue. sounds like you're doing good, keep your spirits up and keep beating the medical stats! glad you're busy, hope you get to catch lots of gigs in Oz! music is so healing. hope you get lots of support too. now they have groups online to support anything, that helps.

    peace to you

  • @catalunarocks thankyou so much for your support, i am keeping an ear out for any gig's here, I would love to see them, even if i don't remember it ! It would still be worth it. I know that they have released another album, i am just trying to locate their website so that they will have their upcoming tour dates on there. it's one of the things on my "Bucket List" that's for sure. :o)

  • @didoodle yeah go see them if u can, i just went to see them, the show was just magic, I love his voice, they had this great visual backdrop of the wilderness, so cool. they rocked the house i was totally transfixed, they did some of my fave songs, firewoman, sweet soul sister, wow. their opening band was good too, Black Ryder, they are from Aus. so maybe they will tour there /w the Cult, go see them if you can! great show. i hope you are doing well, you sound well. rock on brother! enjoy life

  • This has always been one of my favorite songs.

  • I'm 45 now and still a fan. What a great band and so many gothic souvenirs of my 1980's youth.

    Good old times still alive trough beautiful songs like that one.

    Thanks to the cult and the great time machine that music is.

  • nice play dog i get this .. one

  • Fantastic, major nostalgia trip back to my school days and bunking off lol. Was mad on the cult.

  • I feel in love to this song.

  • i'm still failling each time i hear it and i think i will fall over and over and over again

  • Epic.

  • Amazing song from the album "love"

  • Awesome photo montage!

    "Love" by The Cult, one of the best rock albums ever.

  • Awesome song as well!

  • adorabila melodie. 5 stele din partea mea.bravo

  • my slutty girlfriend Angie used to sing this in my ear while she rode me! What memories!

  • Incredible song, album and band....To this day this song still moves me and reminds me of my High School years.

  • "Love" was one of those albums that you bought several copies of because they always got robbed!

    This is my favourite Cult track.

  • esta banda es INCROYABLE me encanta y la voz de IAN ANSBURRY es inigualable nunca pasa de moda ni puede dejar de escucharse y todos los cds tienen cada uno algo tentador.

    Atte. XAVIER & Poli

  • I used to listen to this in Cambridge with my lovely Teresa Gomulczak, and we used to go and see them alot together too - classic the time we took Chrissy Lar from Liverpool to see them at De Montford Hall, so glad we did that............Love everyone!

  • I was in love with Ian!!

    I had the fortune to meet them for the streets of Rome Italy in the 1985...I thought I was ready to die.

  • started listening to the cult in 85' or so after i seen them open up for billy idol, half the croud left when they finished there set...timeless show...never will see those days again...long live the cult

  • One of the GREATEST makeout songs...

  • I agree!!!

  • Que temazo por dios,como se nota que han influenciado a tipos como los Heroes del silencio sus canciones.

    Grande The Cult!

  • Darren Brown introduced me to The Cult and The Damned back in the early 80's in Ballyclare High School - and I'm still listening.....long live the Cult & the Damned - pure genius!

    Thanks Darren.

    Chris

  • This band is timeless. Never bending-over

    for the suck ass record companies that have

    destroyed music as a whole. Long Live The CULT.

  • from sister moon:let the light be in you for herat's forewer,with no ters no sadnes,i won't to see you up in heawen,very much good luck from Viktorija in Croatia

  • my beer drinking days. this was the song i would play on a cloudy,cold night with a full moon in the back that would light the the partial covered sky, bright blue, in the orange grooves in corona, CA with all of my high school drinking buddy's ha ha some of the girls and light weights would get scared and leave??? lol

  • i can still taste the Heineken beer and menthol ciggs and the mint sticklets gum lol lol!!!!!what memories

  • okay lyrics.=)

  • love the solo!!

  • ...dedicated to my twin brother and male-Wolf from his not ment to be female-daughter of the Moon...see you in next life..."Brother Wolf your time has come..."mine ends with you...SILVIJA KATARINA...

  • i total agree with peace man well the american part any way ian if u r reading this y did u change u were so fuckin brilliant when u wrote songs like this and the lyceum gig in 84 will be 4ever known as ur best ever gig thanks 4 all the good times mr i live in the states now but i rember where ur from even if u dont Mr ian bradford astbury dont 4get ur roots man

  • I know that this may sound so fucking stupid, but just for a humble second, imagine Cocteau Twin`s Elizabeth Fraser voice make the backing chorus at this master piece. (I insist, im sorry)

  • Why are you so sorry? Why do you consider yourself stupid for such a suggestion? Elizabeth Fraser is an outstanding singer and a unique artist. Her backing vocals would only enhance the quality of this song.

  • And the wind will blow my fears away...

  • I`m no Cult fan now but i did see them at Wembley in 1989 and the sound was too much bass and not much else.Then they went to America where they all thought they were god.Don`t know why.

  • wow is wonderful band! excepcional!

    I see in México City in Palacio de los Deportes 1992!!

  • These guys looked so young. I stole this CD from a buddy at school and have been hooked ever since. No voice like Ian's, crazy bastard.

  • This song hooked me from the first note! When I bought this cd I really didn't know what I was in for. What is really striking about this that it sounds very funereal. It's practically saying that death won't scare me anymore.

  • best tune they ever recorded hands down...awesome tribute/bio..nice job!

  • yeah love was a great album !

  • I used to play the hell out of this song. Epic.

    The whole album (Love) was great as well, but this one was my favorite.

  • BEST BAND EVER!

  • Very Spiritual song. This song got me in touch with the Earth back then in 85 and still does today.

  • I REALLY want to go back to 1985 but its impossible. So sad that I born in 1988 :D Oh The Cult oh that Ian oh that Billy oh that 80s oh that LIFE in music

  • Ian is god.

  • haunting!!

  • R.I.P Nigel Preston...

  • I'll second that mate...... a terrific and very genuine guy to hang out with. Lovely, tight drum sound too; really used to get over the top of his kit! R.I.P

  • I wish I could have gotten the chance to have seen them back then.

  • Duffy's guitars and Astbury's vocals were meant to be.

  • 1:38

    Pelé, brazilian football player!
