You were nothing, thinking your something!!!!!!!!

[Aldelirium]

[steinber]

smart funny. people don't get it. i love him but i could see why this would make you want to throttle the little bastard. keep listening.

[aoinekodax]

sweet guy

[darkmayms]

WTF he isent takeing the piss outa goths . he might not look like it but he is more goth then alot of ppl . it isent a lable its a life style .

[gothxangelajana]

should be more goth videos on here and more ppl who wana date a goth girl like me

[ignoranttwat]

There are loads of songs taking the piss out of goths, but this is certainly my favourite.

[ignoranttwat]

@markoctavio

I didn't write that and I certainly don't need to "reed" more.

[realgod1002]

i love this song. we always play this song when me and my friends hang out at the usual Gothic & Fantasy Fair here in Holland

[earinsound]

he's making fun of goths in this song...

doesn't anyone listen to the words?

[litbythemoon]

@earinsound: he's just making fun of those who get all dressed up and think that they can be goths... an ex-girlfriend, maybe? (and he's totally right...)

"your eyes tried so hard to glitter"...

[markoctavio]

@earinsound he is not making fun of goths... this is a hearthbroken song...

[sethmok]

Tibet is the master.

[dottedarm]

One of them.

[mprizasg4]

vERY NICE ARMONIC SONG.

[dottedarm]

Let's make a better one!

[evad520]

Aw you saw the word goth and thought it would be some bullshit like Combichrist. So sad for you young one.

[demaio777]

combichrist? never heard of it. but no, the word goth doesnt mean anything to me cuz i dont care about labels or anything like that. i just didnt like it cuz i didnt ha. cant someone express their opinions these days? besides, why are u wasting your time on me? who cares of i say shit about this video or something else. doesnt mean people have to do something about it.

[nilocke]

I would like to see Mr. Tibet do standup. Something tells me he can really deliver a great joke.

[RandomGothicFay]

beutifull! =)

oh my gosh i have tears i love this! it is amazing!

btw i hate twilight

[sassybritches23]

I cried the first time i heard this...from laughing. I do love this song

[Halturas]

completly rubbish as a band , but good music though, this bloke is pathetic singer

[Traenensohn]

Wunderschön...

[KurritaSpain]

¡como toca el piano la chica!!!

[KurritaSpain]

Esta cancion es lo maximo para mi en estos momentos

[BonniScottishHeather]

mmmm, i want to have babies with you David!! xxxxx

[narcomenos]

I see all too clearly now Why you should be discarded And though I could pray for you I probably shan't Having had my cup filled up With your lies And your makeup You were nothing Thinking you're something And nonetheless I still write this gothic lovesong A sign to myself And the memory of my past I still write this gothic lovesong And the memory of my past And a way to shut out your face..........................­.........

[foreverslave13]

wow...people never stop surprising me.what an unexpectedly immature and racist point of view!be proud of yourself!

[Dragonslayer591]

yah exactly.. right on man!!!!

[sethmok]

Love from the west David.

[pcmbc7]

stunningly beautiful.....always stands so far above all else.....

all shall be well.

[MercuriusLeudisius]

almost beautiful.

Deine Fingernägel schwarz lackiert

oder blutrot. Ich habe es vergessen.

[Platinger]

Funny - I know this song by heart, but I´ve never seen the guy. I imagined some gothic styled guy - nobody like him anyway :).

[songbirdshe]

^_* yyeeah ... David Tibet.... poet so grand, love the Current 93!

[steinwolf]

Great Music ... as ever vom current93 !

[HasanAbulFez]

very creepy

[dfhgjhsdkdkisdksjrep]

So good and depressing.

[sethmok]

I've been listening for years and this is great... I just wish that they could come west...

[TheDarksEmpyrean]

I thought it was good. thanks for posting.

[Gutemine666]

My last comment was for cesarthaking1180!!!

C93 are the best - I love this song and could even cry my eyes out everytime I hear it. So sad!

[BrokenDoll169]

so very sad, probably the saddest song I've heard in a long while... shouldn't be taking things personally...

thank you for the upload, was always wondering what they look like onstage.

[dottedarm]

maybe you shouldn't even be...? deaf idiot!

[DarknessDescends86]

amo persons?

Seriously?

I'm going to assume you mean emo. I believe you need to rethink musical classifications. I've never met a Current 93 fan who liked emo.

[Gutemine666]

If you don't like it, don't listen to it!!!

Just shut up! Nobody is interested in your opinion! Grow up, silly-billy!!!

[jackandbruce]

PLEASE PLEASE let me know, cesarthaking, HOW the fucking hell you ended up watching a Current 93 video on YouTube? Did someone who actually knew something about music recommend it to you? Looking forward to your answer.

[dustinzk]

lol - you must be a great scientist! Listening to one current93 song tells you what gothic Music is about! You are a forgotten hero of nowadays cesar - what a pity that you are long dead (but then, it makes you almost goth too ...)

[Enterthedeath]

You would never understand "goth" or "punk" music. It is something you are born with. I don't understand why people like G.G. Allin but I indulge in some of his songs ever know and then. Then again how did you find Current 93 they are a pretty difficult band to find.

[Platinger]

Yeah, I know this feeling - it´s what happens to my loudspeakers when I listen to 95% of the charts...

[sethmok]

david is amazing, my cat and i think so anyway

[DarknessDescends86]

You're awfully bold listening to this when your daily musical preferences appear to be Simple Plan and Bon Jovi. I'd back off when the grown ups post their videos, mate.

[proboscislounge]

HAHHAHHAH

c93roll'd

[DepthSolitude]

i LOve everything that is with touch as goth sence .. the poetry is amazing ... i really liked this vid .. thanks 4 share ... I really liked the piano interpretation ..

soo goood !

my best wishes for ur work .. !

[dottedarm]

I'm happy to hear about your pleasure.

All the best to you!

G.

[shadow271992]

this song makes me feel like i have 100 pound weight on my chest and it gets heavyer when the music gets louder to the point its hard to breath. this song is just amazing.

[kharontrix]

While beutiful, this song is also hilariously sarcastic with all the goth cliches. Good as nearly always, when it comes to David Tibet's work.

[luciano9009]

This is a great piece, I also like "soft black stars" He's a great poet.

[dottedarm]

Yonu mean all songs from the album Soft Black Stars, eh?

[garson626]

Dire. New Age horrible stuff masquerading as art.

[dottedarm]

Dunno the meaning of your words. Maybe it's a negative critic...(?) What New Age?

Aaah...yes!, you could be the ONE, who tell us The Truth, and Real Art, or something like that... Idano... Why can't people count to 9 before speaking...? Me too... he-he...

[Enterthedeath]

he speaks his peom to panio.

he writes extermly heart wrinching peoms.

[majxwell]

I LOVE THIS SONG.... masterpiece....

[Balthic]

This band sure is varied isn't it? I've clicked on 3 different Current 93 videos and they've all been completely different things in each one.

[jamierourketen]

he looks like jasper carrot when he was young!i thought he was going to sing "funky moped"

[Relaxe]

One of my favourite songs ever

[kisucat]

Just beautiful.

[motherofchrist]

you guys must be deaf!

nazi or not this excuse of an artist has nothing to do with music

[haspat]

what an idiot

[dottedarm]

u r a really stupid man(?) with really stupid thoughts. I'm afraid.

[shithard]

It is singing

[rmillikan]

Everything I ever need to remember of goths.

[acido1969]

Wow, what a song. Reminds me of my past ;-) Loved this song 15 years ago. Still like those gothic girls. But it fits.

[kyknos]

What a sad song - I do not agree with the lyrics at all - I love goth girls, I love all those things and fingernails painted black... I hate Christianity for all the evil deeds and wrong ideals... I cannot agree less...

Yet it is so beautiful and so deep that I have to love it. And I love Current 93 as well...

[notmebucco]

zomg I love this song. but eeeerr, he doesnt sing well live.

[CHVNX]

This entire album is contains no singing. It's a vocal performance, maybe. no singing.

[notmebucco]

nah, its singing.

[elpitiuso]

i'm dicosvering him right now thru a cover by antony hegarty. beautyfull songwriting. am not totally convinced with his voice tho. shame (for me).

[eccolaaaa]

Questa canzone è bellissima :-)

[EarEnemy]

wonderfull...i alway have to cry...David Michael Bunting: one of the greatest artists of our time!!!

[abysus96]

You have got to be kidding me!

[EarEnemy]

no, why should i?!

[siewen1]

no, if you think something is goth, then it's goth. It's a personal decision and/or opinion.

Therefore, I see no reason why someone should say this isn't goth. It sounds dark, so it's goth right?

[dottedarm]

Please, don't be angry with me, I just wanted to say, that I don't mind what anybody think about a kind of music. It's not bloody real a problem, but you just fight for your word!

Good bye!

[LazarosPapadop]

A really beautiful song!

[siewen1]

okay, there are different types of goth. First, there is the kind you sing! Then, classical can also be gothic. Gothic is anything that sounds dark. GEEZE where do these dictionary burners come from!? Go find out what gothic means FIRST!

[dottedarm]

If I'm right, your lines were a reaction for the previous guy. But hey, is that really means so much, what Gothic is...???!!!

Anyway, take your time for your own pleasure!

All the best to all of you!

G.

[Tristan921]

The YouTube crowd doesn't deal with great geniuses. He probably wouldn't even be known here.

[thehornypuppy]

Isn't a song supossed to be sung? Oh well...i tried to give "gothic" a chance...guess i'll just go back listening to Tool, Megadeth and a Perfect Circle.

[gkazir]

the best song ever, gothic in the soul, current 93 is the best.

[dummblonde]

the piano sounds nice

[Listendudeok]

What's his problem

[darkduende]

Is that Maja Elliot playing? also...who did write soft black stars? Cashmore or her? haha. Always wanted to know

[Dam1el]

Where could I get the musicsheet? anyone any idea?pls!

[punkunite123]

you opened your books and you opened your leggs and so opened your heart...

[panfinito]

It´s ok. Be good.

[littlevolcano]

Hilarious.

[dottedarm]

H!

Nice words.I'm glad...

Merci and all the best!

[killamonkey]

hwhats wrong with him? did he have black ships for lunch or song.

[oswing]

One of the most fascinating people I've ever come across; not always reachable and quite cerebral; why not?

[forcapower]

fantastic simply fantastic david u r simply fantastic

[Angel2807]

David Tibet is deffinately a fantastic poet =)

[kikoo7777]

you were nothing thinking you're something. nice lyrics. goths, plz, grow up^^

[synthwerk]

I always thought this song was about how stupid goths are. "You were nothing, thinking you're something." I mean, isn't it plain to see he's purposefully being gothically histrionic to highlight how overly dramatic those kids get. That's what I get from this song.

[Vares65]

How superficial.

[beowulven]

Completely agreed.

[beowulven]

Er, agreed with synthwerk. Not you. You be Bosley.

[polarbearkat]

Beautiful,thanks for posting.

[Kumpelkatze]

It`s so wunderfull, it`s going deep into my heart.

Thank you!

[tlng13]

surely i will get it played in my funeral

[eurodiagnostica]

That would be embarassing.

[elendcita]

this song is so deep I wish i could make a cover of it :S

[Anathemo]

great

[errrrrm]

Is that Jarvis Cockers Dad?

[girlsofsummermunich]

yeah, probably.. lol

[manwaring]

Damnit I love this band.

[gaobest]

Their most accessible mainstream single! Thanks for posting...

[ustael]

You call it a mainstream single. I call it a jab at all the Hot Topic goths around the world!

It's Insta-Goth! Just add black hair dye and watch them GROW!!!"
