Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Candy Says @ Paleo 2003

[Joe22c]

Hey everyone,

I just posted a HD quality version of this performance on my channel literally less than an hour ago.

Beth Gibbons' beautiful haunting voice should be heard in as crystal clear quality as possible. Enjoy! :)

[Germancius]

Beth Gibbons & Paul Webb... legends.

[doveside1]

tom waites sings like a smoker, but great voicetoo

[ChezKiva]

Never heard of her, but then I don't listen to many songs sung in English anymore...

(@ brickle, I have to partly agree with you. This was a well spirited crowd.)

[CoaTLXoXoUhQu1]

Beth Gibbons! THE BEST!! I LOVE BETH GIBBONS! If I was inf front of her I would bow her...

[1roback]

watching this angel with a cigarette is like watching bungee jumping....hope it won't do any harm...ehh:)

[Brickicle]

Eh. She overdid it. Just because someone uses their voice in a way to make it sound more desperate doesn't mean it's suddenly the most moving thing ever.

[cheyqua]

the way she sings simply kills me inside :")

[QQueenQQful]

I love it too much, I miss this version when I don't hear it for 2 days... she is the real thing this woman, in love with her

[GuardaGuada]

Beth gibbons is a legend

[TheGrouse]

@NoOneEvil Only a myth if you're a bit thick.

[sangueviola]

I love this woman.

[davemr1966]

Beth is amazing . Always was , always will be .

[cinzsweet]

I so love it when a singer gets so emotionally involved in a song, their face and body distorting, twisting, and in their eyes you can see that they are '"there".

[allondra123]

Uhh; lmao, this isn't even that good.. She sounds like a dying mouse. What the fuck. Haha; this is hurting my ears..

[Jnth007]

@allondra123 put some lady gaga on, to lose the pain in your ears....and you sound like a moron!

Ciao!

[allondra123]

@Jnth007 Put some Lady Gaga on to lose the pain in my ears ? Lmao; I sound like a moron ?

WOW; that was SUPER insulting. Haha.

[ParaParaschiva]

@allondra123 go fuck yourself. shut up bitch on this page. 

[allondra123]

@ParaParaschiva Well; you can SAY that, but, she still sounds hella bad.

[ParaParaschiva]

@allondra123 Ok. But you still go and fuck yourself. it's ur opinion and close the window if you don't like. :P

[dancing0being]

@NoOneEvil

Maybe she smokes only in concerts. Helps her stage performance.

Very nice version of this song!

[poolsideable]

my sister just past 2weeks ago her name was candy she had more courage than any one i know me my brother and sister know the blue birds are with her now thank you

[robuzy]

i would marry her, despite the massive age gap

[Joe22c]

@NoOneEvil

Smoking really will fuck with you in time, however Beth's voice was just unbelievably angelic to begin with.

It would be really tragic if anything ever happened to her voice, which is why we should cherish her as much as we can while we still can.

<3 Beth.

[copine2000]

[rasen013]

that feeling...

[aleksandring]

Candy says I've come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world Candy says I'd like to know completely what others so discretely talk about Candy says I hate the quiet places that cause the smallest taste of what will be Candy says I hate the big decisions that cause endless revisions in my mind I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I'm gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I'm older What do you think I'd see If I could walk away from me

[chh5555]

@aleksandring Gender Dysphoria is the shit, these lyrics are really spot on.

[blanketshapes]

The texture of Beth's voice just reminded me of something strangely specific.

Remember the fairy tale where the wolf is trying to convince the little goats to open the door and let it in, so it eats a bunch of chalk to soften its voice in an attempt to sound like the mother goat?

Somehow i mean that in a nice way.

[philip54]

[sleepyerick]

ang galeng!

[60okka]

ne ses ama, hastasıyım

[piggyandamy]

@Nihonluv hahaha me too!

[YESIAM2U]

stunning!

[andres2009]

bella versión, beautiful version

[0211undF95]

kompetente version

genial

[wings4marie]

Beth, your singing inspires me to be better.

[tullsongs]

brilliant ,but you can,t beat blind melons version for pure melodrama and passion

[engelsgeduld]

Beth...you are the best!!!! you are great!!!

[tonkanamagarcu]

she smokes way too much,but i still like her and her amazing voice

[2short2q]

50's style harmony at the end. Very sweet.

[brottors]

beth gibbons best

[loongan9]

Lou Reed and Antony Hegarty's duet on "Berlin" is to me, rawer and more heartstring-tugging. Thanks to Antony. Watch it, I beseech you.

[biachan4]

I never get tired of listening to Candy Says covers and Gibbons's version is simply amazing. I like Marting Gore's version a lot as well! I'd kill to listen to Thom Yorke covering this amazing song!

[ssugarpluscreamm]

so would i!

[pmclaro]

Amazing version! One of the best female voices I have ever listened to.

This concert is from the tour of her beautiful record (a true classic) with Rustin Man. I went to here Lisbon concert and was completely moved by this cover song. Brilliant!

[roxanamariamirea]

She's crazy! She's smoking while singing! Poor vocal cords!

[Jnth007]

roxano mai bine taceai:)

[HedonisticPisces]

Endless gratitude for posting this video, Decom! I cannot believe how perfect the synergy of the eloquent lyric & Beth's breathtakingly heartbreaking voice. She hits a nerve lodged so deep in the vortex of all beings living in the blue world. Very few contemporary singers can tap into this caliber. She is just yummy!

[cinos223]

Great version!!!

[dislocacion]

this song makes me cry

[Klitkomandr]

.. love you Beth !!

[loopback007]

Captivating.

It's as if the song was written just for Beth Gibbons to bring it to its real glory more than 30 years later.

[merdufer]

as if the original wasn't heartbreaking enough. damn.

[merdufer]

you can find shirley's voice in lots of female singers.

gibbons' voice is truly unique. if you don't like it though, you are of course entitled to your opinion.

[ifbei]

sure, it's unique. and her "sadness" is so contrived that it's unlistenable. she sounds like she's gargling. maybe if she wasn't faking emotion.

[boxerdogweed]

muppet

[wings4marie]

@ifbei

And so the pretentious waste matter that you have posted on your channel like "Cake" and "Nelly Furtado" Shit. Plain and simple. Shit like Cake for feeble minds.

[DerowEgen]

what a voice!

[zhaoyan27]

Candy says Ive come to hate my body And all that it requires in this world Candy says Id like to know completely What others so discreetly talk about Candy says I hate the quiet places That cause the smallest taste of what will be Candy says I hate the big decisions That cause endless revisions in my mind Im gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder Im gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when Im older What do you think Id see If I could walk away from me

[zhaoyan27]

Amazing voice!

[theCrypticRain]

This cover has left me speechless, Thanks Beth and Rustin Man

[lulo2049]

Amazing Really Amazing

[sparnyc]

Simply, WOW....Does any one have an audio recording of this? Or tell me how to get one.

[RaijaEugenia]

I have. Just write your e-mail and I'm ready to send it to you

[gmwgarden]

very nice.

[herlaw]

how beautiful

[pacoiec]

A miracle!!!

[LoveKotaForever]

I love Garbage's version better but Beth really put herself into the song so that's pretty cool.

[pacoiec]

You don't know anything...

[chuffyone]

Just spent twenty minutes listening to them both repeatedly- this one wins on points- both excellent- although Garbage's sound quality is better as it's in a studio-but Beth has the scary fragility that I love

[XmrmurdocX]

OMG... Best video ever! :D Im speechless.. as allways in front of Beth Gibbons. Some people in here have an absolutely marvellous taste.

PS: dont watch the stupid bunny(candy)jump around for 4 minutes if you wanna hear this song :P

[therussfactor]

does she smoke cigarettes, or eat them?

[sergiooo27]

She can smoke because her voice stay the same.This terribly powerful but she don't need sing very high, amazing.

[STHanson08]

Cigarette in one hand, and a microphone in the other.

Classic Gibbons. <3

[MinkStoler]

Candy Darling lives on!!!!

[Pixiessp]
