What an incredible feeling; I know that no matter how many great bands I find, or amazing songs I hear, none will even remotely compare with how amazing and special Lush is. To know that you've found the greatest band you will ever hear for your entire life is an incredibly comforting and surreal feeling that words cannot fully express. God I love Lush so much!
5:56 the bass player blows it. don't get me wrong he is great up until that point, but I think he went in the wrong direction here...the progression he was playing before supported emma perfectly, maybe he thought things were getting boring if he didn't try something new but I just wanted more of what was already happening, and I suppose the rest of the band agreed...wish they hadn't, because up until that point the song is close to perfection...and I could listen to 4:04 to 5:54 for hours...
FUCK! I can't believe how much I love this band. Been listening since I was 7 in 1992 and I can't get enough ever since. I listen to them damn near daily.
Emma's playing was never technically brilliant- none of the thousand notes per second, hey- everybody- look - at- me- I'm- a- guitar- player shredding that my favorite metal bands always indulge in- but she's always emotionally perfect, playing the exact right chord for the feeling of the song. This song is possibly her best showcase. No dis to Miki, whom I adore, but most of my favourite Lush songs are Emma's.
Unique rhythm. Sounds more like from the 80s. THis is the first song I'm hearing from them. This song has sort of a relaxing moaning. But it's kinda soothing.
I had to point out to friend "No, that's two guitars at the end, intertwined with one another." I interviewed Emma and Chris (RIP) after they released the album after this, and I told them a few times Split was better. At the time I could tell they really were not fond of hearing that. I hope they realize now that the album Emma said took so much work and time to do - Split - was worth it. It completely stands the test of time. This song is incredible.
I don't care if I sound "emo" or whatever, but this song makes me really well up. There are no words to describe how brilliant Lush are as a band and as people.
This song has a sad vibe to it. Split is definately my favorite album. But, then again all of their albums are great. I can't get enough of this group and they were definately one of the best bands on 4AD records.

This song is the aural equivalent of making love with a beautiful woman. :-)

They have a very, very strong late 1960's and early 1970's Beach Boys vibe.
