Squeeze - Hourglass

[guyboxerdog]

If the video is not the same guy that did Birdhouse in your Soul and BAby Got BAck its a bang up job of a copy

[djanstiss]

Chris Evans (Radio 2 morning show) played this classic. Now I am here remembering the fab 80's.

[ianambler57]

i heard this in a clothing shop and thought it was a modern song, typed down some of the lyrics and it brought me here :D

[thehoff1982]

[carlymoseley]

@xXGeegeXx Cool - I heard that Ade Edmondson had something to do with this video - is that right?

@carlymoseley Yes he directed it - Squeeze are his fave band!

[omusicuk]

@carlymoseley Yeah Adrian Edmondson directed it

[yesthatmitch]

@omusicuk He's in it; he's walking along behind them at 1.50...

[Ambidexter143]

The optical illusions were good. The song was all right, I guess.

[TheWillmurray]

Jools Holland is a music god

[thru1979]

[thepaddywagonishere]

Loved the 80's the good old days!

[andersonvillas1277]

This was also featured at Chuck E. Cheese's September 2009! Cool song!

[NeverGiveUpBoy]

Brilliant stuff

[dmdrummer23]

Lamb of God does a nice cover of this...

[Cyclops236]

the wobbling guitars that's great I love it but can anybody guess what Zeit der Sehnsucht means.

[senorbellaco]

Roughly, it would mean "time of the longing."Maybe, but not sure, my German is rusty.

[Cyclops236]

That's a good guess but the correct answer is Days of our Lives but you are on the right track about the language however.

[despo108]

Great visual tricks here, especially for way back then. And great song.

[xxxrandomjamezxxx]

loved the vid,could you check mine out :) keep it up!

[DaveWollenberg]

1st US top 40 for Squeeze. Hit #15 in Billboard. How'd it do in the UK?

[kettlezone]

@DaveWollenberg

Top 20 - great song - great band!

[lavabubble]

Still a classic. Loving it!

[1funkyangel]

this is 1 of squeeze's largely 4gotten tracks, but it's 1 of their best !

[simonmurrayman]

pure class

[dharmaseed]

Look at how skinny Gilson is here. Is Jools doing Chaplin?

[moonshiny74]

@dharmaseed Nope. He's The Son of Man :p.

[desertazul]

ha and british ;)

[stodgycat]

Surrealism, Magritte and Dali mainly.

[desertazul]

so abstract . nananaa neo cubism or is it surrealism?

[tall32guy]

It's surrealism. I think the surroundings in the set played off of that one old painting that I can't recall the name of, that had the clock melting off a table or something like that.....

[schizoidboy]

@tall32guy I think you're thinking of Salvador Dali, but I think they're using the motif of the Belgian surrealist painter Maugerite (I'm sure I misspelled his name,) he's the guy who painted the guy with the bowler hat with a green apple in front of the face.

[mariechristine100]

@schizoidboy Magritte

[Revenge0fTheNerd]

Get some Viagra for those guitars! lol.

[LadyAna5]
