Spiritualized - Stop your Crying

[Johnnystrychnine]

This sounds as good in 2012 as it did ten years ago.

[adamdxion34]

loving this never get bored of this song

[gajahmurka]

good music..good video...

[thatwardgirl]

Well. This is was music is supposed to be. Coupled with beautiful visuals? Very nice.

[Dannyrocksass]

So it takes 4 years to make a perfect song...

[tenerife967]

What a great song, lovely harmony, lyrics, I can't get to the end without a tear and I'm a bloke xx thank you love it

[31arcuno02]

[alunmillard]

Great band, very supportive and a couple of the bandmembers formed a "supergroup" with a guy from Beautiful South and one from The Fratellis to support Mencap, the learning disability charity. Was a crackin' gig!

[OrpheusKant]

Dunno why everyone is praising Jason so much, he doesn't actually write all the different parts. John Coxon is the real Genius, he did a lot of the orchestration & he is a geneticist when he isn't picking up after "Spaceman's" hissy fits ;)

[42guide42]

@OrpheusKant Where did you find the information that Jason doesn't write the parts? From everywhere I've read (I'm not counting Wikipedia of course) he cannot read music so he sings (if not all then most) into a tape recorder. Then, he works with the musicians to create the notes for the instruments. Not dissing Coxon because I agree with you that Coxon is a genius. But I disagree with you in that I think Jason does deserve the praise. Besides, the I just love the music. :)

[TheLexyboy]

@42guide42 what you've said is pretty much what Jason said himself in an interview i saw years ago promoting this record. At the time he said it was thighpaulsandra he worked with to realize the music.

[okcomputeA]

one of the most under rated band ever

[larachael71]

Cool just found this..

[karsten161]

Nothing hurts you like the pain of someone so close to you. I feel so broke inside but I devote my life to loving you.

[xIpodTouchGoeroex]

2:29 is best

[CMZ15431]

Tender by Blur looks pale!

[twinman009]

masterpiece

[EnsonLeo84815]

Fantastic song,like!

[xxxxpanicxxxx]

Jason is such a good guy. I want to hug him and tell him that he's the best.

[pharmajoe990]

It must be rough hiring a new orchestra every Take CHING

[tweedy151]

I love Jason.

[GeoNeilUK]

@2408rach and by responding to such a dumbfounded comment, you make an even more dumbfounded comment, well done

[dorismalasenjanka]

nothing hurts more than a pain from someone you love......

[longueville04]

simply astonishing. little dickie ashcroft can only dream of orchestrating music this great.

[MrLiquidfreedom]

Jason your a great guy

[BlondeRocknRoll]

just the best .... perfect from beginning to end..

[inspiralroses]

stop your sobbing as well ... grand tune for grand feelings ... I love this movin' on up-stuff ...

[kdsquire99]

@inspiralroses i agree. i love that they embrace such grandiosity

[merefizi]

fantastic! don't know what to say else...

[chestnui]

J Spaceman is a tortured genius. May his torture give the rest of us some relief

[2408Rach]

Bob Dylan?!?!?! IS HE EVEN A PERSON!!

This my friend will NEVA be forgotton I remembered him!

and I was 3 when I heard this!!

So yeh Take that @rileykate0height!

[2408Rach]

Bob Dylan?!?!?! IS HE EVEN A PERSON!!

This my friend will NEVA be forgotton I remembered him!

and I was 3 when I heard this!!

[BrianMc1990]

Loveee This! :)

[noelsplectrum9]

he cant even read music!!! how good is that all those different instruments that he arranges and he cant read music this word gets branded about to much but it fits him perfectly GENIUS (and i meant the caps lock)

[rileykate0height]

Genius? Please. He'll be forgotten by history like all mediocrities. He's no Bob Dylan who is a genius by the way, who is still releasing critically acclaimed albums after 50 years. This guy is no more genius than Ricky Martin.

[noelsplectrum9]

oh dylans are "critically acclaimed" at his age if you can still pick up a guitar the "critics" think thats great jason pierce is a genius he has wrote at least 3 timeless albums without being able to read music just by ear he may not be as popular as the old man with the shocking voice but that would mean lady gaga was "genius" if it was a popularity contest!

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

well said, agree so much with your first comment...seen them many times.. and hes worthy of the title...

[decker1215]

@rileykate0height you clearly don't know shit!

[Opiate1969]

@rileykate0height: pls don't compare Dylan with Pierce, they are walking 2 different roads.

[doodaa12]

@rileykate0height jason pierce and pete kember are gods

[Copshootcop74]

@rileykate0height You clearly have no idea about music, one of the dumbest comments I've read in a long time.

[SuperhelterYNWA]

@rileykate0height The most pathetic comment i think ive ever read but then again you were obviously looking for a reaction, silly cunt.

[19850985]

I like horses

[foreverashcroft]

i love Jason hes a bloody genius.. GREAT SONG, GREAT ARRANGMENT..

[Ptuutti]

This is sooo uber, he is simply a genius!

[SuperhelterYNWA]

Just laughing at the arguement you're having with someone who shares the same name as you... Spooky!! lol

[SuperhelterYNWA]

Without question, he is indeed.

[SuperhelterYNWA]

lol

[mgmtrace1]

I was watching MGMT and Andrew mentioned he likes Spiritulized, so I just thought I would listen to some of their stuff and I'm glad I did cause they r brill. I love this song. Love MGMT too!

[jijorns]

no vas a comparar MGMG con esto...

dios mío...

[mgmtrace1]

Hi jijorns, I'm not sure what your answer to my comment means, I think it means there is no comparison to MGMT and Spiritulized. Please if you can let me know. Thanks

[jijorns]

yeah that's right.

i mean, MGMT, they are great in what they do, i listen to them, but, Spiritualized is Spiritualized.

It's a pitty how underrated jason's music is.

see ya!

[mgmtrace1]

Yes Spiritualized is brill....I agree very much.

[mrlee2293]

Love this song and the video... i think its the first time ive ever seen an orchestra smash up their instruments at the end in a who esc. way. brilliant

[Noeladishi]

Just ordered 3 albums from Spiritualised, I love this song!!!

[bolderr]

...there's beauty in chaos....

[dramaticafantastica]

i heard him described in some article for NME or sumfin as "face of the new generation of the soft hearted shoe gazers" or sumin 2 that effect. thought that was perfect :)

[DeadGermans]

Do people realise how difficult it is to organise an orchestra with the variety of instrumentation adopted? There is definitely no room for the self-centredness that exist in your average rock band.

Come to Australia Spiritualized.

[SuperhelterYNWA]

I realise how difficult it is to organise an orchestra... Just shows how talented this guy is.

[PHAEDRIDER]

@DeadGermans all i gotta say , as a long long time spaceman fan is this stiil totally unimaginably hard.. and i think its been more than 10 years since this come out . beautifull!

[xIpodTouchGoeroex]

in love with Spiritualized...

[TOFFEEBLUE344]

Great Song and Video

[Tcoldsteel]

hope one day Jason and Peter make up and do something as the Spacemen 3 - imagine all Pete's electronic noodling and Jason's choir/orchestration - wow.

(Supported by Galaxie500 and the RIDE)

For those who don't know - check out the Spacemen3 stuff on YouTube - historical.

[Copshootcop74]

what a song! What a spaceman!

[JustBreath24]

this...is...SO...beautiful.

[at0miklust]

tune

[BlackMarketKarma]

Great stuff

[crysmarie22]

hey does anyone know if they played at ACL in Austin, TX? or ever played there before?

[Marxinator]

They did at the 2008 Music Fest.

[micrimen]

Ohh... que gusto poder escuchar esta canción de nuevo........

[Rierufoo]

come on baby stop the crying...

[bolderr]

yeah, trash everything..

there's beauty in chaos.......

[janderson4321]

I fondly remember their "Highest Show On Earth," live at the CN Tower, Toronto (around the time of this release). My friend and I scammed passes (not easy) and were the ONLY two people amongst the 50 or so tag-wearing radio-industry-assholes who actually enjoyed it. It may have been a gimmick show, but way up there atop the city, it was sublimely appropriate to J.Spaceman's themes. Glad they did it, even if it went over numbly with the uninterested hacks who were also there. It WAS high.

[ChurchofShar]

one of my best friends was one of those guys, and no one loves Jay's shit more then he does.. except maybe me. I couldn't get in, but I made 6 other shows and met him a few times...now if I could only meet Sonic and convince them to get back together.

[BBalmost]

spacemen 3 was the best, spectrum and spiritualized are good, but together they were the best

[ChurchofShar]

don't forget slipstream.. but really none of them had anything on spiritualized. I used to have an amazing spectrum jewel case though, he made nice cases

[blower1]

Peter kember(sonic Boom) is the man from Spacemen 3 who formed Spectrum not Jason.

This doesnt sound like the verve,as jason is well before richard ashcroft's time with this ,and to me sounds nowt like the verve!!

Jason is one hell of a talented guy and deserves more yes compared to the shite around,as was Peter Kember(sonic Boom) still is in a way but jason took the lead so to speak..respect to both.

[kellinco1]

I cant stop it.oh yes

[squeakers69]

When there's not much light on his face he looks like a dark haired version of Owen Wilson...

Amazing song too.

[porfavormeudeus]

Hahahahahah

[essenegospelofpeace]

thanks for the song

[SkagTrendy333]

whats there new song called, fink it was just on radio one????

[SkagTrendy333]

yeah its called soul on fire peps, check it out its great! =)

[Ponjoe15]

I LYKE TURTLES

[1985rrr]

SPIRITUALIZED.

[porfavormeudeus]

Oh, I see

[duvallianstallion]

I think this album is the only one that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as 'Pet Sounds.' It transcends 'pop'. Maybe XtC's AppleVenus Vol I also...

[SaxtonStopMotion]

Nothing hurts you like the pain of someone you care about....

This song.....it's amazing.

[johnmonica]

in their top three. stop your crying, lay back in the sun, ladies and gentlemen,

[byebluesky]

This song is awesome!

so touching,

it makes me wanna cry

[stevesausage9]

love spiritualized,and loved spacemen 3 back in the day who were also very spiritualizing in their lyrics

[Soniacula]

this is a nice song!

[slantninja]

Simple but moving! The lights, the stills, the smashed instruments, J.Spaceman, brilliance!!

[royalbadness1984]

Nice!, can definately hear some Richard Ashcroft influence in there, or the other way round.

[bolderr]

...it's the other way around, of course..

...spacemen 3/spiritualized is way much cooler than verve..

[royalbadness1984]

Yea, I think i like Spiritualized, this song doesn't really sound like The Verve though, more like Ashcroft's solo stuff, reminds me of "Why do lovers" or "words just get in the way".

[SpiderhouseRecords]

simply put .......... amazing !

[losthu]

this is fxxking awesome

can't stop my crying

[gpwitme]

It's so weird seeing Thighpaulsandra in Spiritualized, considering he was a full time member of Coil.

[halifaxshayman27]

epic.

[8inline]

02.54 takes my breath

[frangirbo]

Good music and great final

[OSLAINTE123]

why did she leave him for that idiot from the verve??

He is such a pretend Jason..

[nathanciriello]

the trouble wih J' songs too much too late.... be happier

[NightHawk451]

come on baby stop your crying

[spaceman68]

jason is the most under rated singer/song writer EVER my wife even loves him YOU ARE A FUKIN GENIUS

[shaneshaky1]

much more moving than arcade fire, spiritualized are the real deal!

[klimfactor]

The crescendo in this song is like an epiphany. It explodes in your brain. Brilliant.

[Tasha6cat]

where's sonic boom?

[shedzy]

left to form spectrum in about 1993 i think!

[blacksundress]

J. Spaceman is wonderful.

[sarnieken]

great tune. Thx for uploading

[ericindierocks]

Such a beautiful song, and an interesting video. Captures the hugeness of SPZ.

[piried1]

What a great clip; superb production; great stills; novel idea; and of course the music is awesome

[toaster909]

that's probably the first time I've seen an orchestra trash their instruments!

Jason rules xxx

[stude]

simply an awesome song.
