Went to see Love & Rockets open for Siouxsie and the Banshees at the Arlington Theater (Santa Barbara) in1986. At 16, that was an impressive concert, loved every minute.
The LP "Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" came into my hands the previous year. Having followed Bauhaus and especially Tones on Tail music, the names of the band members told me "buy this and listen."
If there was ever an album that deeply influence me, definitely this one. Dedicated to my friend Jeanne Marie Barker 1970-87.
Check out my video for the song "An American Dream" by Love and Rockets on my channel... It's a bit controversial. The American Dream comes at the cost of others, which is what my video depicts.
this song gave me the courage to break up my bad relationship. i made two survival compilation cds one titled "this is for when you feel nothing" and "this is for when you feel something". music like this has saved my life.
Definitely in my top 5 of the 80s. I was pretty much addicted to this song when it came out and I wasn't even goth. :) It was like living a John Hughes movie. Especially after a fight or break-up with your girlfriend or just a bad day in high school.
Stuck in the past, and loving it. Saw them live more times than I can remember, but the first was when they opened for Siouxsie in L.A. in support of this album. Been my favorite ever since, and it all started with this tune.
I was there. The song is haunted, but we were too. I danced to this so often at Dominoes and Nuts and Bolts in Toronto. It basically says what I felt. I'm still haunted by that time.
I don't know why I'm so into this band.. something indescribable.. the songs are fairly average, why do i own ALL their albums (and tones on tail as well)? It's almost like I like the idea of them more than anything else.. but there must be some reason i have it all.... mystique..
@basehead617 songs arent average. listen again. well, their later stuff is average, yes, you are right. first 2 albums are great. go back from there to Tones and Bauhaus. Nothing wrong with any of it.
This band and this song certainly left an impression on me. I remember my brother and i purchasing one of their CDs (with this song) and my brother and I listened to that love and rockets CD for almost two days straight on the return home from a road trip. We drove home in an old and tired Toyota truck...I tell you, those minutes dragged- but the music was great!
Awesome song, one of L&R's best. I am glad it wasn't on commercial radio. I want this song to go on for ever sometimes....Happy Halloween, happy listeners. Dedicated to Stacey D Larsen CR, BC Canada

driving through a Colorado snowstorm back in the 80's - wondering if I would survive...and this is for when you feel something. I found a snowplow to follow home...when the minutes drag...way cool - wish I could do it again
Mmmmmm...suddenly my crazy, wonderful youth comes crashing back. How many times did I dance to this at some alt club in the 80s or 90s? Or blasted it from my tape player in my Yogo driving way faster than a Yugo should have been driven, across SR 60 through central FL. LOVE IT.
L & R's Masterpiece! This song didn't get a lot of airplay here in LA on KROQ back in the day, but when it did, people were asking, whoa, what song is that?
Love and Rockets is one of the only bands from my younger and dumber years that I still can listen to. These guys are definitely one of the greatest ever....
@Razadazledazle It starts with F and C chords, then moves on to incorporate G and E. It's been a while, but I think there is an A chord in the progression in the second half of the song.
What is now important and truly is important is the red spot on the dogs leg ,the alternating looseness/tightness of my daughters bowels and how I can raise enough money to get out of this bi-polar dump of a country . I still like music and the weather is nice out
The word that would describe this feeling would be nostalgia. In the 24 years since I last listened to these boys I've discovered most of the things that I thought were important weren't and Iwould have been wiser paying more attention to things other than music ,trying to get laid , drink and drugs and generaly beening anangry young man.I've been married stabbed in the head and divorced[same woman],been the stage manager of a West End music venue, toured Europe 3 times with a rolling stone
One of the best songs ever created. I first heard it 15 years ago. How so many of us allowed the lyrics and melody to seep into our love sick hearts. I agree with jonathan7176's comment- rejoice!
I heard this tape playing in a record store, back in 1988/89. I had never heard of Love and Rockets before that day. I bought The Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven completely based on what I had heard there in that store, and listened to it for most of the next 10 years. Amazing stuff.
This is a pretty great album. I remember listening to it on cassette in my walkman for hours on end...Ahh...Sony Walkmans.... This and Earth Sun Moon are really special.
a guy i had a huge crush on dedicated this song to me back in grade 12... it wasn't until i was in university that i finally figured out what the words were, and i was overcome...
I used to end my weekly radio show, titled, 180minutes, with this and the albums following song, Saudade. It is truly amazing how a songs meaning can change after so many years of life experience and heart break.
I'll never forget the many corridors and seemingly endless flights of stairs at Centenary College from the station to the parking lot as i carried my 13 crates of records back to my car while these songs played from the stations speakers. This was back in 1988 or 89.
Right, Mark7 db! Things certainly have changed. I don't miss heavy crates of albums or dusty and broken CD jewel cases, but the quality of MP3's kinda blows. It will be nice when a higher standard is adopted for digital music files and the iPod.
Quite possibly Love & Rockets greatest song ever. Certainly one of the most incredible songs of the 1980s. I love to pull out the acoustic and strum along with this one. God I love this band.
I remember staying up all night with my best friend listening to this album, and specifically, this song, over and over again we listened while his dad, a few hundred feet below us, climbed in his car and drove to work, and we, up all night, were haunted by the passing time and "surrealness" of that morning...Oh how splendid when those youthful minutes drag. How I am haunted today.
I had a suckie time with this song....many years ago..but thank god it was many years ago....so now I can enjoy this song again in all its glory and beauty..sick how some people can destroy a beautiful song for you....
We all know when a song carries a harsh memory. But it's amazing when you can love that song again without the pain. I think it's one of the most special things to real music lovers. And this song deserves a lot of passion, it's incredible.
@jeannegrob goes both ways. the first time I pick up an old song and have a rush of nostalgia of pleasant memories from 25 years ago, then listen to it a few too many times, now the memories arent as strong... :/
He DID!! Him and Peter Murphy sing part of this song at the end of a live performance of "Reptile". It's bad ass. Just search for "Peter Murphy" and "Reptile".
always makes me think of my first love who use to write the most beautiful poems for me, till I found out they were from Nick Cave's ballads, anyway still brings back good memories....
seventh dream of a teenage heaven is a wonderful album/cd. very few i pass over, and the ones i like, i LOVE. this song always gets me, it's ALL ABOUT THE 2ND PART, when the minutes drag, that electric battery acid sound is amazing, tripped out
I used to hear it on KROQ too, I never got why it wasn't part of the regular daytime rotation, I heard it first on a movie called "she's having a baby"
heard this tune for the first time 3 weeks ago!! i live in canada now having moved from london england 4 years ago..i'm 39 years old and can't believe this one slipped by me.......amazing song,,,it blows me away!!
I saw L&R at Wolfgang's in San Francisco about 1986, a club that has since burned down. Small, under 200 people in attendance. The band used a lot of prerecorded sound effects. The guitar was just, I don't know how to explain, smashing the chords violently, with a lot of fuzz and feedback. Goth crowd. Brilliant though flawed. I like that, live Art is not Perfect. I miss those days, they will never return although new ideas will emerge. Bauhaus turned pop with a psychedelic aspect.
At approx 4:31 is when the overhead light board would just fdae in to the audience...saying LOVE AND ROCKETS' of course....a few gals jumped the stage 'round this time...and hauled away by the ShowCo staff.....what an evening..Thanks again,we have just been sitting here reminicing..pardon any spelling erros...we think at our age it will be overlooked..
so alive- don't know what color your eyes are bsby, but your hair is long and brown
haunted- haunted by your eyes haunted by your hair
sad and beautiful world- she got long long hair and blue eyes shining.
same girl even? definite similar lyrical themes abound and of course they are differant keys, but they all ring together harmonically in their melodic progression of notes- its totally obvious, are you just trying to waste my time?
When we were in high school we would eat boxes of marazine and drink robotussin dm, and drive around the lake listening to this album, it would seem like days and days, strange I still remember it, when everyone would say we were wasting our minds away, I guess its all personal perception.
"So Alive" and "Haunted" have nothing in common harmonically or lyrically. They're in different keys and have a completely different structures. Their lyrical themes are completely dissimilar. The only thing they have in common is that they are played by the same three people, and they are both great songs. In the interest of full disclosure: I've played the guitar since 1983, have played in many bands and recorded CDs of my original songs. I know of what I speak.
music, good music at least should be trance inducing. i like it better as I am permanetly in a trance it sounds better that way, you can't appreciate this or any other music any other way than to be in a trance from listening to good music in the first place

This is the song that turned my on to Love and Rockets in the mid-80s. They used to play it on KROQ late at night.

I used to hear it on KROQ too, I never got why it wasn't part of the regular daytime rotation, I heard it first on a movie called "she's having a baby"

I saw L&R at Wolfgang's in San Francisco about 1986, a club that has since burned down. Small, under 200 people in attendance. The band used a lot of prerecorded sound effects. The guitar was just, I don't know how to explain, smashing the chords violently, with a lot of fuzz and feedback. Goth crowd. Brilliant though flawed. I like that, live Art is not Perfect. I miss those days, they will never return although new ideas will emerge. Bauhaus turned pop with a psychedelic aspect.

like maybe haunted is like having it for someone, so alive like being with someone, and sad and beautiful world a bitter requiem
ambianimaton 2 years ago
so alive- don't know what color your eyes are bsby, but your hair is long and brown
haunted- haunted by your eyes haunted by your hair
sad and beautiful world- she got long long hair and blue eyes shining.
same girl even? definite similar lyrical themes abound and of course they are differant keys, but they all ring together harmonically in their melodic progression of notes- its totally obvious, are you just trying to waste my time?
ambianimaton 2 years ago
When we were in high school we would eat boxes of marazine and drink robotussin dm, and drive around the lake listening to this album, it would seem like days and days, strange I still remember it, when everyone would say we were wasting our minds away, I guess its all personal perception.

this song is harmonicly and lyrically a reprise of so alive and sad and beautiful world...this makes it 10X as powerful
ambianimaton 2 years ago
A reprise? This song was released on their first album, four years before their fourth album, which So Alive was on.

"So Alive" and "Haunted" have nothing in common harmonically or lyrically. They're in different keys and have a completely different structures. Their lyrical themes are completely dissimilar. The only thing they have in common is that they are played by the same three people, and they are both great songs. In the interest of full disclosure: I've played the guitar since 1983, have played in many bands and recorded CDs of my original songs. I know of what I speak.

I don't the President hypnotized anybody.
music, good music at least should be trance inducing. i like it better as I am permanetly in a trance it sounds better that way, you can't appreciate this or any other music any other way than to be in a trance from listening to good music in the first place

i just realized that love and rockets used street hypnosis techniques in their lyrics like obama did in his campaign speeches.

Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, Express, Earth Sun Moon. Three of the best albums ever. They went pear shaped after that.
