This Mortal Coil - You and Your Sister

[50gshady]

hahaha those sheep wtf xd

[ik1ik1ik1]

2:24 WTF DUDE!!!!! REALLY WTF

[KiUB35]

rewelka:)

[earl973]

damn friggin perfect

[fransje001]

What is the purpose of the footage of that corps with the sheep?

[norbertocastro]

Li na Blitz,que vai ser reeditados todos os discos dos This Mortal Coil, e ainda umas coisas nunca editadas.

Estou em pulgas.

São o projeto maravilha de sempre.

[lordtuck39]

I didn't copy the information below from wikipedia -I "covered" it!

I see nothing wrong with covering a song as long as it has a different interpretation,there's nothing worse than a cover that sounds the same as the original.

[lordtuck39]

This Mortal Coil was a gothic dream pop supergroup led by Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of the British record label 4AD. Although Watts-Russell and John Fryer were technically the only two official members, the band's recorded output featured a large rotating cast of supporting artists, many of whom were signed to, or otherwise associated with, 4AD.

[sshatchell]

I thought this was done by strawberry switchblade.

[PatheticHero]

Oh a Chris Bell song formerly of Big Star. Killed in a car accident 1978. He was from Memphis him and Chilton were heavily influence by the Beatles. Just like Harry Nilsson was...

[thinkfree63]

You were in desperate need to enhance the beauty of this etherical and pure song, but just did not know how to do it. Then it struck you: add some pictures of mutilated sheep and a dismembered human body! So classy of you.

[andraz89]

Its funny how This Mortal Coil stole songs from best and the most underrated songwriters of 70s like Chris Bell and Tim Buckley, Syd Barrett.

[andraz89]

@andraz89 and Alex Chilton too.

[exile103]

@andraz89 Stole? Wtf is wrong with you? It's called 'covering' a song, and it's been done since the first song was ever written and another person sang it. What a friggin' moron tool you are! And them covering songs by these largely obscure/cult artists brought more awareness of those musicians. This is a beautiful cover btw.

[andraz89]

@exile103 First of all who are to call me moron. You dont even know me. Yea they are covers nothing wrong with that if you pay respect but they made a lot of money and recognition becouse of that covers. And guys who really write this songs died young poor and obscure. Thats why i dont like This Mortal Coil they used talent of others made a lot of money and fame. i would never do that because i am not guess what A MORON. Real bands with talent write there own songs and put emotions in it.

[MoreBadBehaviour]

@andraz89 you are a fucking turd.

[pierreerichexum]

@andraz89 sorry you're not a moron, you're retarded ... this mortal coil didn't make tons of money, they're not that famous, get a really test it's not like they've been spinning on MTV and filling stadiums ... lots of people got to discover or re discover Chris Bell and Tim Buckley, to name a few, thanks to TMC stop being such a drama queen

[pierreerichexum]

@andraz89 Syd Barrett underrated? he's more famous than This Mortal Coil, same for Tim Buckley

[DAMUGAMINGCLAN]

pics and song aint bad giving you music while looking at pics does not mean to repesent the pics you got to brains multi task

[smothaudio]

I love you Kim!!!

[garcialovesme]

Hahaaaa! Just saw the pictures for this!! WTF?! Am I on acid?!?

[garcialovesme]

The violin bleeds all over the end of this track. Cuts you in two....

[DyFM3]

what the fuck is up with your pictures..!!?? yes they really represent the song.! >_<

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

This is a great rendition of this beautiful song.

[MDcon25]

the pictures in this video have nothing to do with the song lol 2:22 ahhhhhhh enough said

[MDcon25]

the pictures in this video have nothing to do with the song lol

[Buyaka90]

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Kim Deal? How did I not notice before?

mind = blown

[InsanePandaz]

2:52 ~ ICE. :D

[brianycc]

Very nice' very calming :)

[SteveWharram1700]

OMG kim deal

[seeriktus]

this song is so relaxing i fear i may just drop down dead right here from the chill

[leah19841]

the movie, black sheep,it was hilarious!

[norbertocastro]

All I want to do is to spend some time with you

So I can hold you, hold you........

[wrnn99]

Amazing. It makes me cry, every single time I listen to it!

[aloyvender]

what a lovely song!!!

[GTH8991]

hahahahaha fucking awesome video

[jeffdeanable]

Ok, took a listen, and I prefer this version to the original. It's a great cover.

[jeffdeanable]

Pics were fine for me, accept the wet pillow pic made me cry. Otherwise I see nothing wrong here. Maybe it's because the pics were in and of themselves good, and also, I just love this song. Love it. :)

[YellowOnline]

LOL @ 2:20. "Picture unrelated" ^^

[straightasemester]

this cover is ass on toast but those pictures made up for it by being so awesomely terrible.

[jeffdeanable]

@straightasemester Ass on toast, eh? Thanks for the laugh. :)

[johnrfc1972]

beautiful voice so pure lyrics guitar n violins.

[zorias]

good song. No I guess the pics are not appropriate for tthe song, but it DID make me laugh bunches. So thanks for the good song and the unexpected laugh at the pic at 2:22

[amyleerobpattinson]

K schifo!! 2:22

[chellachica911bitch]

wtf is up with the pics fucking freak ruined the song

[PiskieBenWa]

A tad sappy?

[43447]

1991.....

[grid56126]

Monumental Song - Listened to it so much in my early twenties, mostly when alone on nights shifts !!!! - But truly beautiful piece and a massively under rated group of musicians

[halfcolombian72]

Very suitable pictures.....not

[TheHughLundy]

This version is even more haunting(Not saying it;s better just more haunting) with the femalle voices than the original by the great Chris Bell.This Mortal Coil what a grouping not only had they the sense to cover this but Kanaroo as well wonderful.

[SharkSport]

I bought this 4 cd set at a flea market 20+ years ago because it looked "weird", Damn, I sure am glad i took that 50 cent risk. People keep knocking the pics on the video, but hey, it took more effort and is better than a stagnant still of the cd cover.

[annysvan]

Another thought of you Madeline

[JoyDeVivre1]

this was the first version i heard, and still love the Pixie-esque vocals/string arrangements.. Usually I find when i get to hear the original I'm dissapointed.. yet with this one I actually prefer Chris bell's heartfelt vocals (r.i.p.)

and his real guitar as opposed to this one's 12-string sample.

..also the original lyric is 'Plans fail every day'- not -Friends.

Not our true ones! (:D)

[jeffdeanable]

@JoyDeVivre1 Thanks for the info., lyrics and original artist. I'll have to check it out. I like plans failing more than friends failing. It's a better lyric, actually. Plans fail....yes, yes. Cheers!

[JoyDeVivre1]

sensational fast flange 'femme dalek BV's'!

[killerbacteria1]

Wow! is this lisa actually singing? She almost sounds like Kim Deal from the breeders

[schwinglow]

@killerbacteria1 it is Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly

[schwinglow]

@killerbacteria1 it is Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly

[jeffdeanable]

Please, everyone, don't get sad! It makes me sad. I'm sad about my late cat. I pray she's in peace. Such a loving cat, nothing but a giver. I miss her.

[vancanman2]

@jeffdeanable You have all my sympathy.

[jeffdeanable]

@vancanman2 Thanks. I think she's probably in a good place. I feel better lately. All my best to ya'!

[Harryenhelga]

oh my God, the first time I ever heard this song, this voice...I fell in love with her...

Love this song, brings me back to my younger years and the girl I loved that time.

Now, 45 years old, I 'm sad that I've let her go for another girl.

Still, the memory is always there, hugging it.

[jeffdeanable]

@Harryenhelga Hang in there, you're not alone. Try to look at what you've got. Like access to You Tube! Ha=ha. Anyway, don't be sad. Life is crazy. It aint easy. Peace to you.

[drumgold23]

awful pics though. Really really awful. I can't express how awful. 'Cept in song perhaps. Or some kind of weird performance art.

[jeffdeanable]

@drumgold23 Ha-ha, you make me smile with those comments, thanks!

[drumgold23]

Takes me back and breaks my heart. Friends fail every day...too true.

[busbus66]

The Best

[Bats667]

This mortal coil were (& still are) my life

& dreams soundtrack...THANK YOU!!!

[mysterysurf]

Whoa!! Never heard this version -- it's really beautiful. Thanks for posting it.

[sIILymims]

cozy ... ...

[tinkerbelleization]

does some one has the sheetmusic of this great song? Kiss

[cometmk]

if it helps at all it was written by chris bell who was in big star. this song was on his solo record i am the cosmos

[HarryPowell7]

This is gorgeous...

[mellisb]

Flesh eating sheep

[scorpiotimothy]

werd

[madsketcher]

Haha, 2:22 - is that from Black Sheep? :)

[checkthecheque]

@madsketcher Yes it is! What a fuck!

[moog67]

It's Kim and Tanya Donnelly from Throwing Muses.

[monopolirecordings]

(at moog67) Leadvocal is Kim Deal from the Pixies/the Breeders actually

[moog67]

yes, I should have been clearer when I wrote that..

[urbanstreetpirate]

@monopolirecordings

Vocals are by both Kim Deal and Tanya Donnelly of Throwing Muses, The Breeders and Belly.

[deussolinvictus]

Actually, at this time, Tanya was in The Breeders too. I think they recorded this right after "Pod" was released. Man, I miss the old 4AD days.

[sharck968]

nice song, inapropriate pics.

[therealb3yond]

this video is raping the track , who ever made this should be ashamed of it self .

[Kaleidoscope998]

@sharck968 oh come on , it was one inappropriate picture and you make it seem like its the whole video. true it was weird that one picture but god give them a break.

[bluepepper100]

@Kaleidoscope998 Well, I don't get the meaning why the last picture(Tour de France) was included as well....

[donelladonella]

@sharck968 are ghosts maybe better ? :P

[Bryannagirl1996]

WHAT THE FUCK?? 0-o 2:22

WHAT THE FUCK?

[djBatKat]

What? I always associated flesh eating sheep with most of This Mortal Coil's tunes.. >.>

[madsketcher]

Well, the album is heavily avant-garde... it's quite beautiful and a masterpiece in it's own right, but definitely too strange for the mainstream types.

[drumgold23]

But aww maaan. My heart is breaking right now. Ouch!

[drumgold23]

And yeah. 2.22 wtf?

[drumgold23]

Takes me back to Menzies Road. I miss those guys. Nuff said.

[lucianagillo]

omg! 2:22 wtfff??

[maximusconjugatius]

@lucianagillo Looks like from the movie Black Sheep... I still don't trust sheep. In general, furry creatures should be considered dangerous.

[Timmybear]

@maximusconjugatius - I assumed it was a pun on you/ewe, and a bit of a jar to the somewhat treacly images that predominate.

Some of my favourite creatures are furry - like the boyfriend. :)

[EasilyOdd]

@lucianagillo Black Sheep: It's a great New Zealand horror movie about genetically altered sheep that attack. Make sure to watch the "unrated" version. Hilarious.

[christinegobac1]

@lucianagillo

tell me about it

[sbaurshard]

@lucianagillo I know its wrong but i was HYSTERICAL..sumones morbid sense of humor ran away with them :)

[kautopireiofagia]

@lucianagillo 2:22 the best picture.

[glynchandeliers]

@lucianagillo I know!!!

[maritimemoose]

@lucianagillo That was the freaking highlight!

[durutt1]

A beautiful nursery rhyme for longing adult lovers.

[StaciMarie333]

I lol'd at 2:22

XD freakin hilarious.

[sucramnormark]

02:22 ... what the heck?

[MightyBooshishana]

make a wish!

[sucramnormark]

I wish that man would survive :'(

[twistedpretender]

Haven't heard this for so long. Superb

[GoannaAnna]

I so so agree - made my night tonight....

[MsNicola2009]

its my favourite, yes, i like it very much!

[maddoglinz]

corinne never knew you but she loves you n your sisters song rest in peace m8te that i never knewX

[washburned666]

is this a vocal from cranberries?!??!!

[violentorchids]

nope its the chick from the Pixies singing.

[Dreddloxx]

hmm...it does sound like Kim Deal...used to love The Pixies back in the day...

[maddoglinz]

noX

[fabio150970]

No she is Kim Deal, from The Breeders and ex-Pixies Bass player/ vocal...

[MrKrishnaboy]

Love the song... don't understand the pictured added though !

[rankirov]

Much prefer the Chris Bell version. You can't knock This Mortal Coil for taste though -- they pick great songs to cover.

[godhamba]

I couldn't disagree more. Chris Bell's version sounds like if Dylan was a drunken girl.

[BobbyAbate]

this is the best sad song of all time

[enrapture]

Sweet and innocent song. People who hate it must hate love and affection. That's sick and frightening to me to see people fighting over such a precious little song.

[AVDuran]

This song sounds like a bunc of roackes being stepped on at the same time.....Get a real life

[Synesthete68]

I understand that you're entitled to your own opinion, but I must say that I think you're a complete moron. I like this philosophy; If you can't say anything nice, then don't bother saying anything at all.

What exactly are "roackes" anyway? Is that what they have on your planet? I think it is you, who needs a life, my friend.

[AVDuran]

Started out nice, but then became way too cheesy!

[Shack968]

This song is everything, but not cheesy

[theneverman]

love Kim Deal, great song but the lyrics and the images really don't work with the song.

[sarahfrancescaley]

Not a patch on Chris Bells original, but pleasant enough.

[condicionXdulce]

Nah, I think this one is quite an improvement.

[Longlakedreaming]

I like them both about equally. If pressed though I would give the nod to the Chris Bell original that has Alex Chilon on backing vocals.

[PHD18E]

agreed. Way better version this one. Chris Bell's original is cool but sounds a little drunk and messy. This one is the sound of heaven.

[sonjonbobis]

this is the great unheard BREEDERS track, look up KIM DEAL

[mybldyvlntn]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

look up 4ad maybe?

[Shack968]

This song is by 4AD Supergroup This Mortal Coil, not The Breederd. Yes it is Kim Deal on vocal

[chutzpah37]

All i want to do, is fenitrate with you - so I caN ho you

[chutzpah37]

hoooo you

[watashiwanachodes]

wait! wtf i listened to the song its allright but the images are all wrong! what is that some emo shit?

[watashiwanachodes]

damn! great track... i just discovered tmc, so far so good

[calvintoronto]

Could someone please please PLEASE post "Til I Can Gain Control Again" from this album?

PLEEEEAAAASE!!! :)

[MissMarilyn1962]

With Love Marilyn

[misterfawlty]

[sawyerboy13]

I really dont understand all the shitty comments. I love this song, and can't get enough.

[Spiritualizedr]

beautiful!

当時は良く聴いたなぁー

[annebarber]

This is retarded.

[sawyerboy13]

You should probably stick with your poison and accept, that's for sure more suited to "your type".

[HeirApparent01]

Idiots.

[cerojase]

my god those sheeps, he was a friend of mine!!!!

[Doylefromhell]

sorry chris bell, I like this one better. Mrs. John Murphy you rule!

[asherbut]

LOVE this song. Sure wish someone would upload a less, huh, gory video. . .

[monkeymaker3]

The image in question is from a New Zealand film called "Black Sheep". Very funny zombie sheep movie. Have no idea what its doing here, though... but it did make me laugh.

[asherbut]

Zombie sheep. . .hmmm. . .Now I have to check that out! Thanks for the info!

[hideousreplica]

This is Kim Deal singing along with This Mortal Coil folks on the instruments.

[FeikoAmOstfront]

2;20 very tasty picture

[sirenita37]

Yeah WTF is that about? Killer blood-thirsty sheep...ew.

[Mloccar]

wonderful music. Hate the video, though. sorry...

[dincstudiosf]

[aghbento]

Se há musicas para sempre, esta é uma delas!

[SorchaBanshee]

Concordo plenamente, não consigo ouvir esta música sem deitar uma lagrimazinha :')

[ElvisLogin]

GR8

[lumineas]

love it,its a great song,try also "song to the siren" by This Mortal Coil.-the best song in the world!!!

[Moorcrofter]

At 1:18, it is a picture of early Wong Tai Sin and the Morse park in Hong Kong in the 1960s.

[Hirsute63]

This sounds like Karen Peris from the Innocence Mission (who also had a track called 'Black Sheep'. Coincidence??

[pierreerichexum]

which one came first? You and your sister is from 1978 and this version of This Mortal Coil from 1990. When was The Innocence Mission song released?
