  • Great song from the early 1990s!

  • Now I like to think I'm a reasonably intelligent and sensitive guy, but in this case I don't mind admitting that I saw this video on the ITV Chart Show in the wee hours on my bedroom TV, and the stiffie I got from it prevented me from sleeping for at least 2 hours

    (and yes, I did try to get rid of it a million different ways...)

  • Holy shit. Everything about this video is 90s.

  • gracias por colgar esta canción

  • haha i have this song in my profile

    xD

  • great memory of a live in bordeaux in august 1994, thank, this band rocks so !!!

  • Holy Christ. "Miki" will be the last word I ever speak.

  • neon hair dye and tammy faye baker pancake makeup, mmmmm

  • I feel pity for you on so many levels.

    One day, I hope that you will find a circle of social supports which accepts you, and you will not feel anxious around.

    Until then, keep trying.

  • Thank you.

    You have to admit though she does pile on the makeup really heavy, like a geisha in Kabuki theatre. If you stuck your finger in her face it would in a quarter inch.

  • It's that damn matte look of the 90's.

  • this has a only one note diff from my chem's give em hell kid. learned that back when i like that crap

  • i love this song

  • Love the song. The video is decent but I think it is not one of their better videos. I do love Miki's angry expression that she wears on her face during the video.

  • Great band. I was lucky to see one of their last performances.

  • I love angry female 90's bands. They're the best.

  • jesus, i got this on vinyl. one terrific record. thanks for the memories

  • Kizarny?!

  • The lead singer is a hottie!

  • I like listening to the studio cuts, but live the lead singer can't sing on key to save her life

  • Just listened to Lush' Split album - can't praise it enough - a magnificently moving album which chronicles the screwy side of human relationships. Plus, the fact of drummer Chris Ackland's unexpected suicide made it all more haunting.

  • From one of the BEST shoegazing / dream pop albums "Split" (1994) comes this POWERFUL GEM, fourth on the disc, with Miki Berenyi's heavenly vox weaving her magic, within this incomparable English quartet...

  • Lush was one of a kind. I doubt music will ever be this good again.

  • can't get enough of the early to mid 90's, so exciting in britian and america, dinosaur jr, lush, blur, pumpkins, seude, janes addiction, my bloody valentine, cocteu twins, super furry, supergrass, radiohead, nirvana, janes addiction, manics to name a few, the list could go for a long time, wish i could go back for one day and soak it all in again ..

  • I agree, what an awesome time in music!

  • Too bad they weren't round for longer. What a great sound.

  • WOW THIS TAKES ME BACK!!!!

  • Was that Helena Bonham Carter at 1:51 ?

  • Cool to see younger fans posting here, I feel very lucky to have seen Lush live, 4 times in small venues around Manchester and Liverpool between 93 and 96. My strongest memories are of Miki who was like a fireball on the stage, just a blur of red hair and attacking the guitar, contrasting with Emma's more etheriel stage presence. I just don't feel the same passion in modern bands, or if it's there then the music is lacking. Goddamn they were good.

  • This was one of my favorite songs of the 90's. I love Lush. So underrated.

  • there will never be a replacement for lush! they were the best! miki rules!

  • Why we can find something similar nowadays?

    I miss them1

  • where the hell did the time go

  • i really appreciate people who are accepting of my musical tastes...all my friends say i live in the past because all the music i like is from the 90s and some 80s and 70s. they say i should like new bands, but i say(except 4 a couple new ones)that the past is where all the good music is!

  • I was in college when this song came out, but I can tell you there was shit music in the '90s too, even during that brief glorious roughly 3-year span when indie/alternative held sway. (and even Lush really didn't get much radio play here in the US)

    Before you knew it, you had bands like Candlebox popping up to try to catch the wave.

    Today is like it was in the '90s and the '80s. A lot of shit music on the radio, but you can also find lots of good music if you work to find it.

  • They probably didn't get airplay here because they didn't disguise their accents like so many other bands have done be it intentional or not

  • I agree, that sound isn't heard at all anywhere, new music is velveeta!

  • Dude fuck thodr morons, some of the best music is from those 3 decades

  • I'm with you

  • In 94 we were lucky to see Lush at a nightime outdoor concert at Rocky Point amusement park in Rhode Island which is right on the ocean. It was magic.I am 53 but my friends and I recognized that Lush was a great band as soon as they started

  • MAGNIFICENT shoegazing gem! You MUST have this theme in your iPod... YES OR YES!

    Greets from Lima, PE

  • i agree the 90s was so great. to bad i was born in 94' and cant fully appreciate all the music styles that were featured in the 90s such as shoegaze, indie rock, and grunge. there were just so many styles and types of music unlike todays music where it is just shitty pop/emo music and rap and hip hop =(

  • punkrockerRHCP80, I agree. I was born in '92 and I would have loved to be born in the '70s, so I could fully appreciate the late '80s and '90s music scene. Lush is an awesome band.

  • im glad someone finally agrees with me! thankyou for finally accepting my opinion, which happens to be a good one haha

  • As someone born in the 70's, I'm happy to see not all you kids today are tasteless heathens! Good Job!

  • @punkrockerRHCP80 Well, this comment was made 3 years ago, so I hope by now you have realised that there is more to this decade than just pop emo music.

  • @punkrockerRHCP80 - Now that you're 3 years older, hopefully you realize that there's always been shitty music. Yep, even in the 90's. There's also always been good music. Yep, even now.

  • Easily my favourite British shoegazer band, I think they sounded equally amazing whether under the Cocteaus-drenched production by Robin Guthrie or their earlier/later punkier, angrier, darker sound. They were girly in the sense that they had a distinctly feminine presence in terms of fronting the band and writing the songs, and they did in fact write love songs (possibly their most poignant being 'untogether' off _Spooky_), songs like 'Undertow' or 'Hypocrite' were full of anger and darkness.

  • Second greatest band of all time,behind Black Sabbath.I was honored to see them at least once,5 May 1996 at Saint Andrews Hall,Detroit Michigan.

  • Lush was such a awesome band. Too bad they dont play anymore. Too bad most mainstream music these days sucks. The 90s had so much good stuff especially grunge, shoegaze , and Gangsta rap (hey bone thugs and wu tang are bangin compared to 50 cent and akon and that crap out now :) )

  • "Some days wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain / Joy wouldn't feel so good, if it wasn't for pain / Death gotta be easy, 'cause life is hard / It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred / This is for my niggaz on the block, twisting trees and cigars / For the niggaz on lock, doing life behind bars / I don't say only god can judge me, 'cause I see things clear / Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years..." - 50 Cent, 'Many Men'

  • the base is to be turned down

  • i had this album when it came out but i really dont remeber it being this good. Its funny how some things can withstand the test of time and like wine actually age rather well.

  • fantastic sound. great band.

  • I have always loved this band! Desire lines is the coolest song.  Split is the best album!

  • Yes, Split is my all-time favourite record. It is their best and most underrated album.

  • Ah I wish shoeglaze was still around - so many of these bands are really great. It seems that there's only scarling left. Why is it that they all have female lead singers though?

  • probably because that's the only way this music can still sell records!

  • you do not listen to any music with male singers? Talk about limiting yourself.

  • that whole statement is gay. you idiot.

  • Find an alternative word describe something please.

  • Ride,Swervedriver,Boo Radley's,Chapterhouse Moose & many more were all male infact the Majority of shoegazing Bands were all male or Male Singers. You only seemed to have noticed the female bands. Though most bands always denied being shoegazers.

  • Not to mention Catherine Wheel and Slowdive.

  • I avoided to mention slowdive since one singer was female. Catherine Wheel are worthy of a mention though.

  • Amen. What a band!

  • Don't forget Bilinda from My Bloody Valentine.

  • @AsterPorphrygenitus to me it cant be around ever anymore because it isnt only the music bands that were around and arent anymore now but it also describes kind of the time of the 90s. i dunno, hard to explain. but just listen to the music and this video. this just FEELS like the 90s!

  • @AsterPorphrygenitus I spat up my tea (apricot ceylon!), when I read "shoeglaze"...what kinda glaze you have on your shoe?

    And there was a lot of male shoegaze, Chapterhouse, some Ride, some Charlatans...

  • diputs era uoy

  • where the hell did the time go

  • I love this band..reminds me of high school.

  • I first saw them in Dallas in the summer of 1994 and then in Palo Alto, September 1996, about a month before the death of their drummer. Such a tragedy and very sad. They were a great band!

  • I didn't know of Lush in their heyday. I first saw one of their videos on VH1 Classic 3 years ago and have been a fan ever since.

  • I had no idea the drummer was gone I saw this bad touring as the head liner with weezer those were the good times.

  • Wow, that's sad about the drummer. I used to play drums to this, listening to Gala CD and others. One of my fave bands.

  • The drummer's suicide was helped by the fact that he was a a big factor in the way the band sounded but was treated as an"employee". Of course the girls are pretty, and the song writers and face of the band, but he was screwed over. I'd suspect they would have sucked without his talent and he was not treated fairly. Mikki and Emma are cute but you can't treat a depressed business partner that poorly and expect for it to end well.

  • I don't really know the story of his suicide, just know that Miki had great words about him as a strong personality in the band, usually the one who would calm down everyone when "fights" happened. she said he was the balance of the whole thing and that's why they couldn't carry on without him.

  • Miki and Emma got more money than Chris due to them being singers/songwriters that was normal to record deals. Problem lush had they never made it big time and you need to make a living. Chris's suicide was a sad event but you can't blame Miki and Emma. Blame UK society or the music industry but not the girls.

  • The music industry is even worst today. I can't imagine too many good real bands coming out of the music scene (what scene??) today. To me around 1996 and 97 were the last good days for exciting indie music so maybe that's why it happened, but then again alot of even the best bands were, in my opinion, losing their direction. I kind of miss music from back then and did for a period just a while ago, but am starting to realize that time moves on. But, early 90s alt/indie is still classic to me.

  • I miss the '90's period!!

  • I know what you mean. Next to the late 60s and early 70s I think the early to mid 90s alt/indie music scene was the best. Now it just seems like every band coming out is a reflection of everything that has gone before. I like some of the music today, but there was something about all of those band back then that was real and original about all of those bands in the early 90s. I miss alot of those bands, especially from the UK.

  • All the band's rayalties were equally shared between Lush members, whoever (within the band) wrote the songs. So they were all equally paid as Miki explained in 1997. They weren't Oasis or the Smiths...

  • Thanks for your knowledge about the band. You are a real fan of them, I like that :)

  • Thanks. You can also go and check the Bring back Miki site where she has recently posted a comment about this video.

  • I will do that. I Hope we can bring Miki back :):):)

  • @sixtysixpaul Just so you know, Chris was my best fucking friend in the world and I loved him more than any family member and treated him as such. He wasn't treated as a bloody employee and his death made my life and many others stop in their tracks. Where the FUCK do you get off pontificating over the death of someone you never even met and judging the people who loved him. You should be bloody ashamed of yourself.

  • Discovering this band recently was a bummer. "Wow, this band rocks! ... THE DRUMMER HUNG HIMSELF!? D:"

  • I heard of this band when they were out back then but didn't get into then really until recently too. Now, after seeing all these videos on youtube I wish I would have been more into them back then. I always thought Miki and Emma were hotties, but didn't have any records. They have now become one of my favs. Music and MTV (they actually played videos believe it or not) was so much better back then and going to concerts was fun.

  • I want to be that horse...top tune...bagsy twister with Miki and Emma

  • Loved this tune back in the day...

    ...and had a kind of teeny crush on Miki!

  • She's quite nice, I'll agree

  • Oh Emma, marry me

    You have a beautiful mouth

  • The girl is "Scream" wore the same shirt cuz she was a fan of LUSH!

  • mike, you rules, outstandidng voice

  • bueno el video , no los conocia

  • veo que tambien te gusta mazzy star, excelente tambien

  • 2 thumbs up!!

  • beautiful beautiful beautiful !!!!

  • lots of nostalgia, this used to be the introduction song to RAGE TV in Australia back in the early mid to late 90's, i didnt realise it was Lush until later, though i should have known it was Myki, great song!

  • hey wendy how bout fryin' me up a burger?

  • Wow I listened to this at work yesterday...Christ...you know the minute after you've just cum...both sexes here...and you're kind of warm glowy and happy...you're wrong..there is more...there is Miki ...not seen this Video before I like it lots

  • so insightful....worth consideration for sure. Dick.

  • Miki makes me question my sexuality to this day - total girl crush.

    Would've acted on it for certain if presented with the opportunity.

  • Miki se ve tan hernmosa en este video, yeah estoy deacuerdo, deberia retornar, i love you Miki

  • Miki needs to return to the spotlight again after the past 10 years of Chris's death.

  • "Maybe youre right but this is my song"

    Wow, this girl is impressive

  • Oh Miki, you're so fine, you're so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Miki! Hey Miki!

  • whys theyr heads all double. is it tihe beer.. ill wathching it tamorrow

  • "Knew"? I hope that doesn't mean that she's in the past tense. This, imo, was their best song.

  • yes past tense as in once knew her - unfortunatley lost touch with her in the last few years

    as for their best song - its up there.. but not top ;)

  • Aanybody else here actually knew Miki?

  • I don't know such thing as a bad song from Lush, they're all so shapely written, even if some of them have more strength than others. "Spooky" (due to its unity) and "Split" are my two fave albums. Listen also to the 1996 B-sides, they're amazing : golden arrows going straight to your heart. And yes, I agree, Miki AND Emma are two goddesses.

  • the song lovelife is my favorite song of all time. this group was so great.

  • I tend to agree, lovelife is a great song and so emotional........!!!!!!

  • Wow, I love that song too. I like to listen to it to start my day sometimes. That ending is so beautiful it sometimes makes me have to choke my own tears.

  • itz too bad that chris hung himself !

  • I was a huge Lush fan. And Miki's a goddess!

  • i love tham!

  • Lush was good, their second album split is all right.

  • Their second album was Spooky. Although their first Gala was just a collection of EPs. Split was their by far most polished and artistic effort. Its a real disappointing Chris died before they really put out their masterpiece album. We only have hints as to where they were going to head...

  • Split is a great album...... It´s better than spooky, spooky only has two good songs...... In my opinion.

  • exactly... in your opinion.

  • ...Don't even try to hide behind that stupid smile

    I know our kind and I know where our loyalties lie...

  • lush rules!

  • I used to have bright red hair like Miki's, Lush were fantastic, it was such a shame when the drummer died, RIP

  • i mean now she does

  • she still looks good

  • not really

  • What do you know about it ?

  • I saw them live twice and they are up there in my top 2 bands of all time... Just hearing them conjurs so many emotions and memories..They're all extremely talented and it's such a tragedy that Chris Acland ended his life with so much promise.. RIP. I pray they'll be back! They still feel so alive.

  • i am so happy to know many people still love lush.

    i wish to see them live. i believe thet made each song as complete tune, not cook-up fake song.

  • SPLIT is my favourite lush album. Its got all the great songs.

  • I would have to agree. That album just has some of the best songs I've heard of any album ever. Some of the songs on there a painful, but in a good way like Never Never and When I Die. And Lovelife and Lit Up and just great songs to dance to and start out or end the day with. That band was very talented and Chris was such a good drummer. It hard to find bands this good now days.

  • I wish Lush was still around, I was about 12 or 13 when I first head of them, sad to see they are now gone. Miki looks really good in this video, wonder how she looks like now?

  • shes hot!!!

  • Miki is hot. That's the only comment I need to make.

  • I saw them live 4 times. One of my favorite bands ever and Lovelife is one of the best albums ever

  • Someone re-up the live version on 120 minutes, it was incredible!

  • great song on a perfect album. What I would pay to see them live again!

  • Definitely, one of my top 10 favourite bands of all times; and I've been listening to rock on a constant basis for the past 25 years!

  • Oh, the memories this conjures. I remember the first time I heard it on the radio and how I wanted the album to be released...

  • Thanks for posting. I hope someone can re-post the excellent 120 Minutes live version, which Google yanked. Eat my turd, you corporate pudwhacker.

  • I saw that. Good one. 120 Minutes use to have some talented people on their show. Lewis Largent and Thurston Moore (I didn't like the bald dude) were always good hosts and this is were you could heard good indie/alt music. Those fake diva, boybands, and corporate rock and rap really killed music for everyone.

  • I am in love with this band
