Smithereens With Belinda Carlisle - Blue Period

[dralphr]

Fantastic.

[robwheelut]

This the best song ever by The Smithereens...a damn great group

[msfrancca1]

Amazing song....never got the recognition it deserved....

[smallhandff]

Belinda's best moment was when she was w darby crash in the germs...Jane weidlin was the real star in the go-go's.

When you're bad like me you end up alone listening to sad songs.

[lakefield2112]

lovely song

[chefkenardee]

omfg i love this. thank you.

[MsSmithereens]

You go Belinda, you sang the song with a hot sexy smithereens man.

[medic357]

That is one seriously beautiful woman. whew.

[robbopa]

@adebicki: Out of her league? Belinda Carlisle saw more commerical success as a solo artist and with the Go-Go's than the SMithereens ever saw. Smithereens are still one of my fav alterno rock bands, and this song was an awesome combo of contrasting voices.  It was worthy of airplay but never got any...

She is sooooooooooo pretty. Nice tune. Easy on the ears.

Vocally, they were, most definitely, in league with one another. They both seemed to be very ... considerate...both seemed to be careful not to try to outshine the other, vocally. As a result---even though the combination was pleasant---it was not as dynamic as it COULD have been.

[chucky663]

really? SHUT UP miss music critic... asswipe

[Trescompadres1]

That's wasn't bad, I disagree about Belinda being out of her league, Sometimes combinations of two different voices makes good music.

Never seen or heard this wish it would have come out bk in the day. I'm sure iTunes doesn't have it; thanks for posting it.

[catchersmitt0]

I don't think she looks out of her league.

[adebicki]

you can see in belinda's face she knows she's out of her league. but man was she a dish back then!

[castertunes1967]

Really digging some smithereens!

[mojemo999]

the cellist is Gerri Sutyak ... we are working together on a new record !!!!

[iusetaloveher]

Saw this original clip on TV in 1990. Thought I'd never see it again. Thanks for putting it up!

[Sonnyboy56]

I also like the bassist playing the harpischord solo from the record.

[Sonnyboy56]

That cello is sweet and mellow.

[Thesteamster]

Amazing! I recorded this when it was on TV in 1990, just by chance. Loved it. Lost the tape when my house was burgled in 1991, so wonderful to see it again, thought it was lost forever!

[lpbgtr]

Great song!! Who's the woman on the cello? Thanks for posting!!!

[Yetanotherstringband]

A beautiful version of a great song. Simply fantastic.

[djpga711]

Great, great clip!!! How about Mike Mesaros playing the harpsichord lead?? He is one of the best unsung bassists around. What ever happened with him? I cannot seem to find any info on why he left the Smithereens.

[mydlands]

@djpga711 If you ever find out, I'd like to know! Mike was an early bass influence on me, but I found out on Monday after having a brief chat with Pat at a CD signing that *he* was the one who wrote the awesome bass part in "Blood and Roses." All this time I thought that was Mike's part! i still think Mike's great, though.

[acldoc]

Pat wrote this song for Belinda, but she did not want to put it on her album. The Smithereens recorded it and Belinda laid down the back up track. A classic song and a great example of Pat Dinizio's song writing skills.

[gizmoitus]

Thanks always loved the song and the album, but didn't know the story behind it.

[GotKilt]

I've always been a huge fan of this song and nice to see a behind the scene video of it.

[onealchris]

Their voices work really well together. I love this song.

[catchersmitt0]

Agree.. I like how they sound. I always been a fan of either.

[gothembadboy1]

@onealchris I agree... They compliment eachother nicely....

[thaddeus453]
