[elliemaybell]

I would love to hear Johnette and Leonard Cohen do a song. Who else thinks that would be an awesome duo

damn I love this band.

[Papiermeister]

johnette is still just as beautiful today as when i first saw her live in seattle some 20 years ago. and that voice! omg!

[moreliakeeper]

One of the greatest Blonde songs of all. This was from Group Therapy in 2002. She was 42-43 at the time, but the thing with Johnette is that she always seemed to immerse herself in the story of each video, like a great character actor completely dissapearing in a particular role. It always seemed to me that each one of her songs was in its own individual universe that she created to show us that "Life is beautiful and terrible and strange".

[soulsoprano9866]

Being a new fan I'm not sure of the chronology of this song. Is Johnette really showing that much age, or is she made up to look that way in this video?



[ladivtheterrible]

This whole album perfectly summed up my feelings as an aging party girl.

[DubaMusic]

DUBA did a killer cover of bloodletting

[brettpirozzi]

Check out KREEP they did a killer cover of BLOODLETTING

[tendersin]

*listen on repeat*

[MacDon590]

@tendersin i thank god fer this song ,sitting down in the basement fer 2 yrs cus my wife dont talk to about anything but dancing with the stars,listens to pink ,radio shit and says my music is shit ....thanks to my wife person i have rediscovered all the stuff she made me throw away

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@MacDon590 Wow can totally relate.Old lady could never relate to any of my music I remember "Gimme Shelter" was playing on the radio, and the look she gave me was, this is absolute crap and how could anybody like this (actually she might've actually said it) Only problem, she finally had enuf of me after 12 years, and a 4 yr old daughter.And I would give anything to be holding her right now listening to god awful rap and her god awful "Lifetime" movies.Maybe you allready no, but hold on to yours

[wannabgirrly]

horizonrusted: My sentiments exactly:( Word For Word!

[katmaidog]

Who directed this video? It's brilliant.

[katmaidog]

I love you, Johnette

[SouthernKudzu]

Such a strong female voice.

[mysticskye2244]

they are legendary, really.

[snafux10]

i love her/them ... still listening to it all these years later and still freaking awewome.

[raphael13377]

@snafux10 still still still awesome just aint the word, cause she's beyond the word and lives in THAT groove where song happens, and sings a singer is forever...

[prairieskye]

Johnette-one of the best female singers/ songwriters ever



[jfayiii]

How did I miss the video for this? Our 4 year old upon hearing it for the first time said 'what a cool song!'.

[jackdonkey22]

fuck I missed the latest tour, now I'm really sad.

[jfayiii]

@jackdonkey22 ditto

[kezzazz27]

They rocked Portland last night! Wonderful show!

[coffinshaker]

Saw them last night in Seattle - purely spiritual

[horizonrusted]

"Things get better every day you stay alive

Then I’m amazed every day that the sun decides to rise

Every minute, every hour is another chance to change

Life is beautiful and terrible and strange"

Do song lyrics get any better than that. Not really.

[crabbyfive]

@horizonrusted My thoughts exactly

[chiefmech23]

what a brilliant song---way underrated band

[multiplecats]

Beautiful song, beautiful message. Johnette is one of the finest souls you'll ever meet.

@gcbarone I caught the CB fever when I saw Pump Up the Volume. Ooh, boy, I had it bad after that. Can't believe it's been 20 years. I can still listen for hours and it's still as marvelous as it was the first time.

[Weezerlover11]

Oh, this just made me cry.

[horizonrusted]

@Weezerlover11 God I hear that. Powerful song. Evokes some very strong emotion from me as well.

[MiddletownDreamz]

what year was this made?

[gcbarone]

I started listening to Concrete Blonde my senior year of high school in 1989 and havent stopped since.

[jjdavidBR]

Best Band Ever (2) =D

[TheSTPRules]

LOL!  Heee not no what he sayingg seeeenior!!!!!

[zstevens7]

Silly little greaseball! You're too stupid to form a valid opinion.

[ianmcculloch87]

Terrible canción...terrible banda...terrible cantante...siguen siendo unos genios!!!!!!!!

[candymanego]

I love love love this song. However the video doesn't make me cry... it should.

[sunphuk]

grandma Napolitano, stop lifting up your shirt.

[DeLaFey1777]

she can lift her shirt for me anytime. Her words, voice and body are beautiful.

[cmaddog00]

Pick up the phone, i know your there! This song is simple, and complexed, and great...so don't you cry, it'll give you lines around your eyes!!! Am i the only one who thinks of giving raspberries at about 2:45, guess so, they blew a square hole right threw her, LOL!!

[RoamingWind777]

What a deep song...

Michael Kostrov.

[niknak5566]

Best Band Ever. period thuh end .

[utporkchop]

vitamin c, lots of vitamin c.

[LuisMiguelMiranda]

NOSTALGIA TOTAL ..

[empiricist83]

damn... her voice hasn't aged even slightly. it was always mature, but its as smooth and powerful as it was 20 years ago. and she's still cute as hell at 52 ; )

[sk8terboi8056]

i wish concrete blonde could have been more successful, great band but too underrated

[Oniversal]

A lot of people say this song reminds them of themselves... guess we aren't that different after all.

[Muffysb]

Amen.

[chaos4369]

Talk about flashbacks....I lived this for a while.

[alandale1973]

I love all their stuff but what is johnettes solo stuff like anyone????

[KatCassidy]

This is a very sad song but I just love it

[coffinshaker]

Whoever directed this video is a mad f$cking genius. Very David Lynch.

[PsychoHitsPeach]

the "are you ok? I swear to God I gotta get out of this house I miss the days when I'd just not come home at all.." and the "Things get better everyday you stay alive then I'm amazed every day that the sun decides to rise every minute, every hour, is another chance to change life is beautiful & terrible & strange." parts always get to me.

[delweena]

I think this song is one of the best songs Concrete Blonde ever did and I am A HUGE fan. I could not agree more with your comment. "It seemed like we would live forever, life was not this hard, no we felt nothing much at all, and it felt great". Always gets to me too.

[okgrrrl]

this song reminds me of me all too well....

[1summerflower]

Superduper major great song and band! ^_^

[scottman690]

from the shield....

[GarnetSandy]

This is, in my opinion, not only one of the best CB songs ever, but definitely the best video they ever made. The treatment/translation from song to video was amazing and perfect and I don't know who's directly responsible for it, but she/he/they deserve not only my applause but some sort of award as well. Excellent video. Love it love it love it!

[horizonrusted]

@GarnetSandy You have echoed my sentiments to a tee.

[AubreyI420]

man i dont even remember this song...which album did this one come off?

[rodplural]

"Group Therapy", I guess.

[outsidetherain]

CORRECT

[stephierolling1976]

LOVE HER!!!

[horizonrusted]

great song, great video

[dumbthings1970]

Johnette is the Queen of all......CB is truly perfection.

[daliOtter]

Johnette is in my musical Hall of Fame, one of the greatest song wrighters of our time!!

[daliOtter]

God how i've missed her voice and the wail of his guitar!!

[solwolfpunk]

yeah. Have you listened to her newest album?  "Scarred". it rox.

[daliOtter]

Not yet, but I will have it soon. Nice home page btw. I like the way you think.

Enjoy life but gaurd your freedom, lest you lose it!! Peace ;)

[xgrrrl111]

[sungun22]

Fantastic. Incredible. Everything that is Concrete Blonde.

[charliedontsurf70]

[XXJRCXX]

I love Concrete Blonde! One of my favorite groups and Johnette is Awesome!

[Horri73b]

Johnette ... surely THE greatest female singer / songwriter of all time.

[redrusty66]

Wonderful mournful song, typical Johnette genius. To the director...this is an amazing video, captures the song in total.

[honesthiggs]

i already have lines around my eyes, thanks for posting

[kayphipps]

This is my birthday song. "Life is beautiful and terrible and strange"...simple lyrics, but so true. I am so glad I got to meet Concrete Blonde -truly wonderful people and incredibly talented. Johnette has been one of my idols/heroes for years. Darkpickle, you did a wonderful job with this video! Thank you!

[slj210]

This is brilliant. I can't wait to see more from this director. Also, I kind of want to date him.

[darkpickle]

i actually directed this when I was 25... shot over 2 days at Club Vinyl in Hollywood. It's nice to see on youtube... thanks for posting it.

[spadesghost]

[DEVILSREJECT000]

[BOYBENATAR]
