I know they are very different bands but I'm sure The Church's tracks like this one must have influenced at least the guitar playing of The Stone Roses. Some of the guitars in it are almost identical. Brilliant song.
Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."
maybe what alot of people are saying about the older bands maybe is that we really appreciate music that is played on musical instruments and not on synthesizers and computer generated music and voices electronically altered or enhanced. Most bands that actually play instruments don't need dancers, and wizz bang effects to give a great show either. There is good music from all ages but not so much any more on basic instruments.
Timeless...but having grown up in the eighties there was alot of rubbish. We were just fortunate enough to actually have taste in music and steered clear of the pop trash.
In an "UNGUARDED MOMENT" I'd say that if you combined high-tech nano-sized potasium cyanide with quailty sodium metal (Keep it all dry) & then get an intelligent gunsmith to work it into armour piercing rounds you can kill any kind of ET snake-god vampire dragon snake-god shite that's trying to feast on you (Rev-19-18) & even if you can't get that together a simple high pressure pump action water pistol full of cyanide will at least give the "GOD (s) OF THIS WORLD" a bad case of indegestion... ?
Says a lot for the era. Bands were tougher then. You had to be or you'd get laughed off. Look at bands like "The Angels" and "Rose Tattoo" and "The Radiators" etc the list goes on...all kicked ass and all were Aussies. Check out "Jimmy and the Boys" too they were a tad different but still kicked freckle !!
First band I ever saw live after borrowing my brothers ID. it was at the pier hotel in Frankston. I wouldnt have missed it for the world. that was 27 years ago
my dream - a radio station. a COMMERICIAL one (not an internet, self-programmed one) that plays the Church, the Cult, REM - all those creative, 'alternative' or art-inspired bands of the 1980s and 1990s that hardly got any airplay on a big scale. everyday, a church song would start and finish rush hour. imagine, people going to work, ready to conquer the world in cooperation and fellowship.....
@jas22 YES.... The Church takes me back to an era long ago.... one of the live Bands still have the stubb for the concert.... along with Dire Straits.... dont' think REM ever came to Perth - had to make do with a cassette.....
Dug this as a youngster along with Town Called Malice and I Got You...but the narrator needed to grow thicker skin and not care what those mean tongued vixen said to/about him.
CHRISTIANITY AND THE TRUTH OF THE BIBLE IS NOT GONE AND WILL NEVER BE AS THIS IS WORD OF GOD THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING AND NOBODY CREATED AS PERFECT BOOK AS THE BIBLE EVER!!! A FACT THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH AND UNIVERSAL ANSWERS MAKES YOU MORE THAN ONLY SOME ANIMAL OR EFFECT OF COINCIDENT AND EVOLUTION. ONLY CHRISTIANITY PROTECT THE LIFE!
FAITH IS A GIFT SO ASK GOD- HOLY SPIRIT FOR IT IF YOU WANT AND GET READY FOR BIG EVENT-GREAT WARNING SOON
@DaveScott69 Speak for yourself mate.. Plenty of outstanding music has been released in the last decade.. Bands and artists such as The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, James Blake, The XX, Crystal Castles, Yuck, Deerhunter, Grinderman, Ghostwood, Bloc Party, The Strokes, Mac Miller, Drake, Animal Collective, LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire, PJ Harvey and so on.. There is more music than Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber dude.. just have to dig a little deeper. Hindsight will drown all the terrible music...
@devilspedicure Forgot to mention the OmbudJudge, Inhibition, Mama's Beauty Parlor, Kid Arrears, Noynoy Palaboy, Talk Justice, Black Aborigines, Begets Crooks, Capt. Hook......Just Great Down Under Spiritual Bands!
@ugotmatt: How true! But then again, I feel that way about 98% of the music of the 80's compared to the crap that's on the radio today. Where did all the fun go?
@LaughingMan0960 You sure got that right. I've lived through 6 different decades of music and the 80s is by far the most diverse, intuitive & like you said just plain fun.
pero que buena rola de The Church!!...super éxito de 1981 y de mis favoritas de los 80's. Hermosa esta música que no ha pasado de moda! Salu2 a los amantes de los 80's como yo.
Just saw their 30th Anniversary gig at the Sydney Opera House with the George Ellis orchestra. Steve looked a bit older than this, but sounds the same. AWESOME !
This band should of been inducted into the Australian ARIA Hall of Fame years ago. They have done so much over the past years the've worked their butts of for us fans. With all due respect to Tim I prefer Richard Ploog's style of drumming.Take care Church love ya till death.
feel like sharing... GOD works in mysterious ways... GOD's mysterious code in that word and name =26 G7 O15 D4 using just simple alphanumerics there is no coincidence that there is that many letters in the English alphabet and letters make words we should trust GOD's word that name can be assured don't forget oh yeah JESUS code =74 the first and last numbers of GOD something is 100% for sure 2nd verse 'Good News' shoutlifedotcom/theth0ughtpr0v0ker love!!!
Dunno if I mentioned it on youboob.... I was with an ex who had toured with Marty and we saw them at a small club, after the show we we went backstage where I was privileged to catch Steve "In an unguarded moment." (Sans skivvies) Lifetime memory.
@kissouraces yer there isnt many tabs online that play this song like the church did.most of the tabs show the second fret..there is one tab online that does it the right way if you interested ill post it let me know.
Why weren't The Church as big as U2? Why did U2 get that big? That has always been a great mystery for me, ever since I heard this song on the radio. I think I have solved it. It's because most people have their taste in their arseholes. It's the only possible explanation.
@Gutnii Most peoples taste is derived from the crap they force feed you through radio and tv. It's like junkfood, convenient, popular, everywhere... you'd be fooling yourself thinking there's ANY quality in the mainstream. And if there is something original, marketing is quick to neuter it and change it into another formula lacking anything we could consider creativity or soul.
@Gutnii If you think about it, look at what The Church achieving "U2 success" might have brought. Another band downgrading their sound to American Radio Rock, staging pompous shows, Steve Kilbey starting to think he's God, and further bland music getting released which sells simply on the basis of the band's name.
They deserve success, but I'm glad they'd rather focus on being listenable. :)
I lOVE this song...always crank it when I'm at work in concert hall.Turns ALL the musicians heads..Wish they would play @ Infinity hall for sure!!!!!The deepness in Steve's voice is so soothing and makes me feel like I'm home in my mind and my heart.Today's bands ARE mostly."deep,deep without a meaning!"Thanks guys!
Never missed an under 18's concert by old station 3xy back then. Anyone else remember?? Took me 3 yrs on YT to re discover my all time fav Aussie band from the '80's , having a blast favouriting all their besties ;) WOOT!
finally reissued on Second Motion records! head on over to our site secondmotoionrecords(dot)com and get a copy! bonus tracks and all great liner notes from Marty too
@lilyame who cares the oscars or grammys or things like that! church one of best bands of the world! for the music, not for wins and rankings and stupid things of the commercial music industry for sell records...
This was the song I jammed in my head this morning in the surf. Was last night fun or what.....damn I needed those waves! Back to the hospital to see my angels.
The Church were a horribly overlooked band virtually everywhere, especially North America. The Blurred Crusade, Remote Luxury, and Starfish were awesome albums filled with supercatchy songs. Steve Kilbey is one of the best and most poetic songwriters ever!
Unbelievable how The Church rivals most music they play now days...They were ahead of their time in a way, if you look at how popular Cold Play are, well it's not too disimilar...It's classic, classy, intelligent lyrics and Stylin...Excellent memories from listening to this..thanks Steve XOX <3

I had dinner with Marty (and my ex who worked for them) and happened upon a nekkid Steve in an "unguarded Moment" a couple of years ago... Many smiles and wonderful guys. I will always buy anything they release. It's always good.
I know they are very different bands but I'm sure The Church's tracks like this one must have influenced at least the guitar playing of The Stone Roses. Some of the guitars in it are almost identical. Brilliant song.

The Church were a horribly overlooked band virtually everywhere, especially North America. The Blurred Crusade, Remote Luxury, and Starfish were awesome albums filled with supercatchy songs. Steve Kilbey is one of the best and most poetic songwriters ever!

Unbelievable how The Church rivals most music they play now days...They were ahead of their time in a way, if you look at how popular Cold Play are, well it's not too disimilar...It's classic, classy, intelligent lyrics and Stylin...Excellent memories from listening to this..thanks Steve XOX <3

This has always been a timeless song - great lyric - if it was released today it would wipe almost any song on air now.

@ugotmatt I totally agree with you. The Church one of the greatest bands around.

I had dinner with Marty (and my ex who worked for them) and happened upon a nekkid Steve in an "unguarded Moment" a couple of years ago... Many smiles and wonderful guys. I will always buy anything they release. It's always good.
