Texas - Halo

[WILLIAMOFORANGE2003]

This video was "inspired" by HK director, Wong Kar Wai's Chung King Express. Great song though!

[JorgeLuisPsicoHipnos]

[jamesbja]

Who is the Chinese woman in this video? at 1.08, stunnning!!

[Alos21]

Chang Shlang

[jamesbja]

@Alos21 you mentioned Chang Shlang was the Chinese woman in the Texas video 'Halo', are you sure that is her name, 'Shlang' is not really Chinese

[lucyafe]

which movie is that?

[jamesbja]

The film clip is not from a movie by appears to be a tribute to a 1994 Hong Kong movie called Chunking Express written and directed by Wong Kar-wai, about two cops and the love life and one of the female characters works in a fast food stall, the clip was shot in HK as was the movie

[ilovewende]

so 90's !!!

[AllOtherNamesTaken]

[detecveca]

This song was recorded at 1997, so I doubt they stole it from Beyonce. :)

[nimbley21]

[HAGIS3214]

[steelosundays]

90's was the decade for proper introduction of the CD, an intrduction to the music industry which inspired musicians and listeners alike..

now..the download,its all easy... and the music has just become...easy..

[demonrun]

Takes me back to 97 easy, what a year for music, music these is still great but not as good as 90's MUSIC

[pastyhead69]

i agree with ya, it take me back to when i left school and they bought out this album, but i dont think that there is any music as great as 90's stuff

[demonrun]

I first saw this clip all hrs of the morning after clubbing one sat morning back in the day, song was awesome stayed in my mind for a long time but didnt see the clip again until acouple of years ago cheers mate.

[theresonlyonewatto]

[EliAlEim]

[becksterABZ]

Love the song! The fact the video is a tribute/ nod to Chunking express just makes it fantastic! ;)

[fabiocibok]

[mackemlad888]

What connects this tune to American actress, Monica Potter?

[soundisblind]

[caitlinkriv]

Does this video remind anyone of that Chinese movie Chun King Express? I don't know why, but it reminds me of that. lol. Anyway, I love Texas. This is definitely one of their best songs. =)

[razeck1]

[Degs421]

[1seethingangel1]

[Loppylugs1]

What are the chords/riff?

[ryanaircaughtnapping]

Was this video shot in 1987? It looks very modern if it is!

Great song (and vid) Thanks for posting!

[RuLASONN]

the record is ''White on Blonde'' and it's from 1997

Cheers!

[callumwest13]

No, the song was made in 1996, and released in 1997.

[RobDeManc]

Hey this is the best song by Texas. Great video too.

[adaycalledzero]

what a great video! Loved it

[Sirius1985]

Sheee believes in everything

And sheee, believes in nothing, in everythinggg..

<3 :)

[Chahni]

This song reminds me the long time I spent in Germany. It was difficult to live so far from you, Laura, my friend... you have a halo and I do adore you ;-)

[craigellis83]

She has a halo We really do adore her For she has a halo Can we touch her For their blindness She sees much further Like on a wide-screen viewing Going down on her She's so pretty Her hair is a mess We all love her To that we confess

[craigellis83]

what a tune!! she is so fit

[m0nk3yXb4lls]

i thought this was the video game halo

[shortinos]

I just saw this on tv and instantly thought of Chungking Express.

Fucking awesome.

[shmary]

the video is a tribute to the film 'chunking express' by won kar wei. i don't see any connection to lost in translation.

[jessy0126]

Great video, the main idea of lost and translation came from this video.

Spiteri looks amazing, I love her attitude.

Ella podría ser la mamá de mis niños también, jaja, se va a enojar mi mujer. Saludos amor y para Santiaguito y Mauricio. Los amo. México es la onda. Life for Mexico

[hun3107]

Get yourselves the early albums.. Southside (89), Mother's Heaven (91), and Rick's Road (93).. to hear the band at their best.

Everday Now (Southside), Dream Hotel (Mother's Heaven), and You've Got To Live A Little (Rick's Road) are simply awesome.

I've been priviledged to see the band over 30 times, from the early days when they were pulling in small appreciative audiences, to the recent revival when they were pulling huge crowds, who hadn't a clue of the bansd' history.

[steveoD111]

Again just outstanding.......love Texas great band great voice..!

[Americansuckups]

FREE TEXAS!!!!

[Aliastris]

Love this song. I've just started listening to Texas (my mum has to some of their stuff). I'm liking what I'm hearing.

[blaidddrwg86]

This video made me really fancy japanise men

[eagled96]

texas's 1st hit was in 1989. the info is wrong. halo was released in 1997.

[cheeryohs]

i love this song! i can't believe it's 20 years old?!? 1987? wow.

[mackemlad888]

its only 10 years old it was oct/nov 1997 !

[bassjunki69]

'Music video by Texas performing Halo

(C) 1987 Mercury Records Limited'

[mackemlad888]

but it did not chart til 1997 surely? even their first hit "i do'nt want a lover" did not make it til 1989.

[intothelife324]

Great song:-)

[vitor1703]

perfect!!!!!!

[Arkady63]

Scottish chicks are the nuts!

[VinceNoir10]

I fucked a Scottish chick, lived by Dundee.  Slaaag *salute*

[Arkady63]

Fuck off. Scottish birds rule!!!

[scottishbiatch89]

dundee people usually are you never herd wat frankie boyle says about them

[BWFSabian]

Texas were launched twice.. First time they went down like a U-boat after ultra and radar.. Second time, the new producer/promoter was fucking Sharleen Spiteiri, and so they got fairly unanimous network time..

The UK always liked them, but didn't like the contract-by-fanny deal..

[JasonVz]

So she doesn't have a halo then!

[WirralHospital]

Brill ;]]

[fercoa]

la voz es maravillosa y la musica exelente

[cooog71]

class song,she has a great voice and she sings so naturally

[monikag08]

no se que seria de la musica sin texas...gracias dios

[LCduT]

Excellent stuff. The video is inspired by Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express, which I really urge everyone to watch.

[peeter2376]

so good that it hurts:)

[pikantem]

She´s so wonderfull...

[targovishteanul]

'Halo Effect'... humans naturally assume that

attractive and powerful people are smarter and more trustworthy than average people.

[valea1234]

super song

[54spiritedwill54]

Fabulous song! one of my favorites!

[UnknownBobAss]

You know the Halo series were named after this song? really cool.

[damuse11]

Is that really true?

[hasbeenrocker67]

Sharleen, c'est la grande....classe !

[nobby2003]

What a song, defo feel good song, what a babe Sharleen is

[chanfunglam]

this was shot in hong kong

[HaLoFrEaAaAaK]

Dont use Halo as something else then what it realy is. Halo is the best game ever made!!! Halo Pwns!!!

[darkrosejust4u]

love this song...

[WildBluebonnet]

Texas? You have to be kidding with this teenage angst ridden mess. Texas? Change your name to fool.

I'm a Texan and find your music bullshit. Drop the Texas and go Canadian, they put up with that crap.

[everhaer]

ik denk dat gij eens dringend van grond moet gaan, maar waarschijnlijk is uw lul te klein om een vrouw te plezieren.

[Iceblooo]

....and I am here in Texas too. Unfortunately I have to put up with uneducated idiots like you every day. People like you make me fear for the future of the human race.

Great song !

[josse95]

Sublissime !!!!!!

Charleen, please come in France !

[shukuria]

sit back with a beer in summer full blast wot a song wot a babe.

[gammergq]

Ten years ago 1997 was Texas year they had at least 4 great hits that year, this probable being my favourite of that year.

[normau12]

I always get goose bumps when the vocals start in this song, without fail. Just absolutely wonderful.

[chrisbruv]

I'd forgotten just how good Texas sounded. What a great song!

[shukuria]

sit back with a beer in summer full blast wot a song wot a babe.

[azazazaz]

OVA PESMA JE TAKO MELODICNA!:)

[potcrules]

this song is so beautiful but sad

[damuse11]

Just rediscovered this song having a great time headbanging to it! Lol!

[AstoriaRos]

The video looks like one of Wong Kar Wai's movies! Excellent!

[Roman391]

Exactly! That was my first impression.

[negativepinko]

I prefer other songs, jaja, but it's goooooood, bye girls!

[everhaer]

this is a hell of a song. great

[andywinch80]

Fantastic Band

Fantastic album

Fantastic piece of music

Wonderful..........

[AlasdairMuir]

Its amazing how pure stunning Sharleen is despite the fact she turns 40 in a couple of months.

[vilandes]

Yeah but she is 10 years younger in the vid! Doh

[hayatisev]

1997

[cocaincowboy72]

Your so dam right ever time that I here this song I always think of the summer of 1997, and the days that I spent with Beverley, and the day that we went that we went up the coast to Llandudno, If I live to be 80 years old I'll never smile as much as I did do that summer!!!!!!

[shukuria]

fab wot a babe

[marblecheshire]

Sharleen has the halo!

[thismodernloves2]

sharleen's got a stunning voice

this was an excellent song from the nineties who cares if it came out in America

it's a beautiful song that only britain got to enjoy

even better

[belfastboy12000]

bit posey tho like her

[Arkady63]

Sharleen = fit Scottish bird

[gingerbald]

u got that right.and i'm scottish

[Arkady63]

Scottish birds are the nuts!

[gingerbald]

yeah mate.especially in glasgow.lots of fit birds there.better not tell that to my wife though lol

[whenturtlesfly]

just realized that this was shot in hong kong!

the female lead is gorgeous

[phoobarnvaz123]

Heard this for the 1st time on Virgin Radio UK & was surprised it didn't hit in the US. Being formerly in the biz...can understand why...since all the pop stuff that's played is not worth the time to listen.

[Arkady63]

I agree. White on Blonde was a really good piece of work. Couldn't understand why it didn't get U.S. distribution. Their subsequent album, Hush, did get exposure but I never thought it as good as White.

None the less, these guys are great.

[iBernard]

The USA really needs to jump on TEXAS' bandwagon! Infectious music, insightful lyrics, incredible visuals...and Sharleen Spiteri. C'mon. Dump Dubya, and restore TEXAS to its rightful place in popular culture! All I can say is MORE MORE MORE!

[psy8max]

halo,halo,halo....did you guys know that this song was used in a hong kong movie...i forgot the title but it was way back ten years ago..i think it was called 'chungking ekspress'..it had a character of an asian women who wore a blonde wig just like in the video clip.

[juanpamdq]

Me encantaaa Halo, Sharleen está increible en el video, muy buena canción. Q tiempos aquellos de White On Blonde... kiero volver a 1997!

[CharlieHuang]

Wonderful!

[whippywayne1234]

oh Sharleen angel of music you are the halo!!!!!

[willemvanorange]

one of my favourites!

[madogol]

good song and nice talented singer and one of my favorite band yeah! sharlene and the gang!

[xedra]

Fabulous song!

[meandmyipod]

I really like this song. Its one of those songs that just captures you and you're hooked.

[sharfan]

Amazing.

[wannaseetheworld123]

I love this song

[Ellentje82]

Sharleen has a halo, we really do adore her!

[foreverthelostsoul]
