Slowdive-Alison (Alternate Video-Better Quality)

[wyndowliquor]

This is what love sounds like.

[fheisk]

"your messed up world still thrills me" god that is an understatement. I didn't know my ex was alive and up to no good all the way back in 93.

[KKOPPI]

lol@the views

[Jauckor]

Ageless.

[bonkda]

Does anyone else notice that Goswell seems to break down laughing at 2:01? hahaha

[ilaydaksk]

One of my favs from Slowdive!

[Bubblex16]

<3

[Babyshamblers]

Great band. Timeless music. Just perfect!

[vitality91]

Bilinda Butcher and Rachel Goswell <3

[GeorgiePPuddinPie]

So good 

[tunante80]

Wonderful song. 

[sleepyfish]

"your messed up life still thrills me" :)

[findingcharlotte]

Only version I ever knew.......love it..........

[nickthebasketcase]

Why are half the comments about Rachel? Listen to the music, guys...

[pentadinari]

Do you know if Rachel Goswell is married??

[riverplate0101]

@pentadinari Divorced.

[weezadam]

@pentadinari according to wikipedia she was married to a musician from 94-04 but don't think she is currently married. there is hope...

[pentadinari]

Brit version is muuuuuuuch better !!!!!!!

No doubt !!!!

But she is soooooooo nice, yes....impossible to be prettier than R. Goswell..

[2000amp]

2:01 Laughter...

[pentadinari]

@2000amp Good detail, my friend....

[kingcarcas1349]

What is this????? Something is missing!!! I'll take the other version, and yes she is incredibly hot!

[MrClark86]

dang that lady is fine :D

[paradeal]

It's a Pitty, such a bad quality video for such a GREAT band. they shoul've signed to a much Artistic label like 4AD, which they later did, but in the Mojave 3 Era...Not the Shoegazer Era... Bad Timing!

[AIFL]

@paradeal Was Creation not artistic then? Before Oasis it was, surely?

[RedSpaceCadet]

one of my favorites ;)

[tracksuitjim]

i love the purple shinging specks of light against the black and white. its perfect.

[vaquerovaquero]

The transitions between the B&W and color parts seem a bit rough to me, too bad the label was so cheap, slowdive deserved better. I guess that has a lot to do with the director not having access to the band... One of my favorite tunes ever.

[davidsanchezvasquez]

She still is ;)

[soarornor]

This video really suffers from an over infusion of non related material that does nothing for the song or the band. This was common practice on MTV and it's a real shame. The band looks great on the video, for the few moments you see them. All the rest is shite. Slowdive was a great band. They deserved a whole lot better. I don't fault the director as he probably had next to nothing to work with. I fault the label for investing little to nothing in the best band that Creation had.

[denveraic]

It's true, what a truly unappreciated band. It's awesome to find out that people feel the same about them as myself.

[thelivingfire]

@soarornor Really? I thought the song had something to do with wanting to be in love with a lesbian? I only noticed the one scene where the two chicks were rubbing all over one another as an example to elude to that meaning of the song but what do I know?.

[benciano]

tjis song is amazing. Slowdive is definitely the best that shoegaze has to offer. on my 7th listen now

[SinsOfArcadia]

Haha, Rachel laughs for some reason at the 2:00 mark.

[localdummiesguy]

hahaha, just noticed that. :)

[guinnesstrail]

Love Rachel Goswell's backing vocals on Chapterhouse's Pearl. An amazing song.

[toshtoo]

Wow! Never seen this version- thanks. Keep the fire burning....one day, they maybe back for a sit down, sing along, sway, dance, hug.

[tnmomof3]

how did i not know about this band..i love their sound

[nebluna9]

muy buena canciòn y emocinante la musica

[urvil]

jesus, wasn't rachel goswell gorgeous?

[MusicalElitist1]

She still is.

[lholiday]

rachel goswell was gorgeous.

[davidsanchezvasquez]

@urvil She's always gorgeous.

[ditimely]

@urvil She is still a gorgeous ginger.

[HOTROD213]

@urvil she probably still is!

[Skyetfai]

just replay it over and over..

[bluescaotico]

Rachel Goswell,

Electric Guitar,

Bass,

Still Guitar,

Acustic Guitar,

Voice...

Es todo lo que la buena musica puede pedir...

Aunque es una pena que no haya puesto voz en el últino album de Mojave 3,

por el problema de sordera de su oido izquierdo...

Recomiendo la canción "Around and Around" que la cantó junto a Mark Kozelek para el album "Take me Home: A Tribute to John Denver" ... Gracias

[choferdedios]

ke nariz mas bonita tiene la bajista joder, ke buenos

[Norwegianyid]

Look at Rachels face here: 2:01 Love this band. Saw them 2 times in Norway....unforgettable.

[guinnesstrail]

Rachel Goswell...beautiful voice. She also sang backup on Chapterhouse's Whirlpool album. She's the ghostly voice on Pearl.

[tomrod10]

My favorite song in the history of the world...

[fatcatbuzz]

I sometimes listen to this song over and over again. I love this album.

[seascout]

blond girl reminds me of hope davis

[jcfbell3001]

ummm...i think elizabeth fraser is the indie siren to end all indie sirens...ima just sayin'...

[ACRTGATB]

This was the U.S. version ... the original UK video was deemed 'not good enough' by their American record company.

I remember this from an interview Slowdive did on tv.

Love this band, arguably one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. Rachel Goswell, the indie siren to end all indie sirens.

[migol1984]

@ACRTGATB double thumbs up!

[lunarsiege]

they were very powerful. its a shame to see a force like them dissolve. i was really n2 them n the 90's. still luv'em.

[dfresh0114]

Wow I liked this video way more than the other version! Great song and album, and Rachel looks amazing here.

[J3R3M7]

i like the other version much more.

[timbo1393]

Fantastic music... this is a vastly under-appreciated band and a vastly underrated album... Souvlaki was the peak of shoegaze.

[ivegotasicknessinyou]

and just for a day and the singles...avalyn, so tired, shine...real beauty:)

[desperatepics]

so awesome! where does this come from? ive never even seen it before! thanks for posting!

[DonJardon]

WOW...A director´s comment for a Slowdive video!!!...greetings from Mexico for posting it!!!

[Defenseman]

ha sorry Don, being a "director" on Youtube is like being a "pilot" for a paper airplane. Nice song though.

[timbo1393]

Haha! Defenseman, you made me laugh for about 5 minutes solid with that comment!

[Twig6]

The mental image of a man piloting a paper airplane makes my life worth living. Thank you!

[Mahmood42978]

allegedly he directed this video, highly possible, we have Gregg Araki, the movie director on Youtube after all.

[macizo25]

me late ver que alguien en mexico escucha buena musica al igual que yo !! jajaja en donde vives quiero hacer una banda shoegaze pero jajaja todo mundo hace cosas emos

[jpascalj]

WOW.....amazing.

thank you for sharing!

[mozart73]

What can I say. It's absolutely timeless... I remember when I was 22yo and I heard this one and other from "Souvlaki"... This sound really brings me back to these years. Thank fpr upload...

[CasoPerdio]

exelente video,

exelente album.

en ocaciones me ha echo llorar.

[thedarkmaster1101]

ola amigo, solo te respondo para decirte que me encontre este gran grupo de pura casualidad hace muy pocos dias y me parece fantastico y un gran grupo,de verdad te lo digo es el mejor grupo que he escuchado en mucho tiempo y esta mujer es hermosisima.

[traductor]

rachel beautiful girl and talented

[tonkarunner]

GAh, where was I in the 90s? Oh yeah, still playing in the sandbox. Stupid late-blooming appreciation...

[hartattack999]

I think people now are too stupid to appreciate something so different or abstract!

[NayrNitsuj]

I've never seen this version but Rachel Goswell is beautiful as always...

[slushh]

"Alison I said we're sinking

But she laughs and tells me it's just fine

I guess she's out there somewhere"

Haunting.

[dbcru]

yepyep...

its quality (resolution!?) is much more better than the one i've watched before...

however, is that original / official video...?

[Itsaguineapig]

You're right, this video is much better in both content and quality.

And who can complain about extra lesbian undertones?

[Khataclimici]

Great song, great band, great video

[Stanzmastertron4000]

Interesting

[solitaryeccentric]

So this is the video they didn't want people to see in the 90s? Ha ha! This sort of censorship over something that tame is a civil rights issue, sez I. I like the other video, tho, it's more consistent in form.
