actually the quote comes from "Sunset Boulevard", when Norma Desmond says: I made you and I can break you whenever I want. See that...? actually, Siobhan plays a Norma Desmond wonderfully... and the visual references of the video are Sunset Boulevard and Citizen Kane
From which film does that 'I made you and I can break you' line originate? I know I've heard one like that in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' but surely that can't be what they're referencing....
Sorry - I don't won't suck U2, but I've think, that I've learnd about taking decisions. Somebody wanted it so as it is. And U2 I only take PUR - without (E-)Aiden or something like that miXXXXXXXd... Unanana.:.HaRHaRHaR (only for you marcella) and therefor' : Wise up, sucker - Pop will eat itself!!! Without me? Black or Shadow?1? HiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiHiHi (!nHi!"-hehehe)
Mirrow of me - don*t be sorry if he's not calling back - SelfMade is hard here in germany with brown and as black as .:..
I recognise where some of the film quotes at the start are from, but what about the 'oil wells in texas' one and 'I made you and I can break you' (although that reminds me of something in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show').
I absolutely love Siobhan and Marcella, a pair of fabulous singers. Love their characters. Eventhough their relationship came to hatrid they dont show it in their videos, well except when they r supposed to have things against eachother. Lol. :) .x.
why is everyone hatin on lady gaga. isnt a good thing shes introducing her fans to this generation of music. i didnt even know there was anyone called shakespears sister before lady gaga brought attention to them. now im in love with this band. so what is wrong with lady gaga giving this lovely band what they diserve. if i were them i'd be excited that someone in the newer generation gave me what i diserved.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Emerice, I read a rather thick book on John Lennon, and anyway no one is really quite sure why there appeared a massive wave of musical talent in the U.K. in the 60's and beyond. i don't really know either, but i do know the U.K was a really bleak place to live post WW2, suffering is suppose to help you become a better musician.
how many albums did they put out before they broke up? i wish they never did. they could put these newbies one the run with real talent. not the use of computers.
@devourerofbabies Having lived through the ninties with my memories quite in tact, I stand by my opinion. You can disagree with me, but you are in no way the final word in what I, or anyone else finds to be great, or inspiring.
Why is it Britain always must lead the way in music? These girls still rock today!, and this was made in the early 90's and even before that considering they didn;t get signed until that time. This music still stands up today,and the best America has to offer right now is Will Smith's daughter singin about whipping her hair? Or maybe Nelly rapn his heart out about all the money he has? bah UK all the way ... and no i am not british
@emerice I would say that it isn't just the UK - I'm actually not a fan of a lot of their music... - but just all of Europe itself. European music is fantastic.
@emerice The UK leads the way cos they're the best and the US suck-you've only to look at the aboslute shit they give us daily stretching back from Madonna to Bon Jovi, all rap, Pariah Carey, DiarRhianna, Pussytwat Trolls, Shitney Spears, Xtina Uglyera, Beponce Knowles-nada, Stink-Pink, BackStreet Bozos, Kings Of Leon and Gaga itself. 80s had the best women-Kim Wilde, Kate Bush, Toyah, Sandra Cretu, Kirsty MacColl etc. but the US did manage Stevie Nicks, Cyndi Lauper, Chrissie Hynde, Deb Harry.
@TheMjblades I'm not going to debate the validity of your claim as it is one that by its very nature (opinion based) is neither right nor wrong only the way you see things, however I must pause for a moment to say that even if Madonna is nothing but a purely commercial POP entity, nevertheless the success of her music influenced and will continue to influence future generations of excellent musicians of every country ( and I am not a big Madonna fan) and some of her work is actually quite good.
@TheMjblades The other thing I felt I needs must address is Pink.....I myself refused to be a fan of her music for a very long time as I felt she was nothing but a carbon-copy commercial pop creation who strove only to make danceable music to sell to the masses.My sheer contempt and indifference to Pink was severely shattered when I saw her performance of "Dear Mr. President", while its relatively easy for someone famous to pretend to care and put their name to a cause, the absolute honesty...
@TheMjblades imbued in that song led me to reconsider my scathing illogical bias against her as a true musician. She had just released "Funhouse" and there were not yet any official videos for those songs but YT fans had uploaded some of her songs so that others could listen. I spent an entire afternoon listening to her music both the new (at that time at least) and the old songs which I had never heard and therefore never had the time to truly appreciate. "Sober" led me to purchase "Funhouse".
@TheMjblades I proceeded to listen to "Funhouse" for about a month straight, while I will concede that much of Pink's music can be POP or melodically repetitive, she is actually a very talented performer as well as a very deep thinking being, I highly recommend that you give her a second chance and actually listen to more than the music/lyrics she sings, listen to the socio-political issues she's exploring. :D
@wolfkins To be honest, not sure I could, but Pink may do a good song by accident. I just about stood one or two by Girls Aloud & Sophie Ellis Bextor & I tolerate 2 by Shintey Spears-but cos of Cathy Dennis writing them, but they're still highly cringeoworthy. As soon as I heard that Pink's highly hateful 'Get The Party Started' I knew yet another pointless pop bimbo had appeared. All US/UK barbies today sound alike so I'd never seperate her from it all on the radio but OK I'll try YT dubiously.
@TheMjblades Oh and the final word I need to throw out is this: Basically all Pop, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Rap and Rock can attributed to one source and one source only- the fact that slavery was so very lucrative to both the US and also to the British Empire (when it was an empire that is) for as many years as it was practiced. There would never have been Rythym & Blues without the emotional turmoil of an enslaved people, there never would've been Jazz or Rock which were directly descended from R&B.
Respond to this video... And finally there never would've been Pop which is a condensing of R&B and Rock and Roll...... that said.... Rap came from Pop music. If you do the musical breakdown it sadly equates to the very sobering reality that these forms of music never would've existed as they currently do if slavery had not been in active existence.
@wolfkins Yeah & I think slavery is still going on today. How else would people actually single out trash like Madonna as an icon & put it in the musical hall of fame and so on, and commend her for every lousy move she makes, whether 'music critics' or your average Jo&Joanne, while any move many other 80s artists make are hated & derided by critics (Duran Duran) or conveniently ignored (Kim Wilde) and so on. That hag Madogga might have pulled out a few good tunes-big deal she's had enough time!
@emerice Er... They were signed up relatively soon after formation -- half of them is 1/3 of the original line-up of Bananarama, the biggest-selling UK girl-group until Spice Girls, and the other half was an accomplished songwriter who'd previously worked with Eric Clapton. Also: First SS album released in 1989, the year following Fahey's last LP with Bananarama.
@emerice I doubt Britain ever lead the way in music. I would say that Ireland, Scotland and USA always been the leader. Would be a shame to conider irish and scotish music as britain. Different cultures and spirit that England !
The Beatles, Elton John, Black Sabbath, Queen, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Bee Gee's, Genesis, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, The Who, Spice Girls, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, UB40, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Coldplay, Radiohead, Oasis, Police, Blur, Pet Shop Boys, Dire Straits, Take That, The Kinks, The Verve, Sex Pistols, Deep Purple, The Cure, Eric Clapton, The Smiths, Motorhead, The Stone Roses, Placebo, Prodigy, Muse, Kate Bush, The Streets, Amy Winehouse, ect ect.
@emerice Siobhan Fahey is Irish, born in Dublin, parents from Tipperary, and gre up in England, Germany and Scotland. Marcella Detroit is from Detroit. There's more than British influence here...
@dpinvogue Give it some time, Lady Gaga will rip this off like most of her songs sounds like a rehash of Madonna and Ace of Bace. I can see her ripping off Stay and dressing up like Siobahn Fahey!!!!
Does anybody here detect the DNA of Bowie's "Heroes" in the instrumentalization of this song? I love this group btw. Saw them live in NYC during their tour around the time this album came out. Never forgot it.
@tailagent : Definitely. Also the faintest hint of Roxy Music's 'Virginia Plain'. The Bowie connection continues with 'Hello-(Turn Your Radio On)' being a hardly disguised homage to 'Five Years'. On all counts they get away with it rather nicely. Talented pair these girls. Pity they disbanded. :/
So yeah, the one with ringlettes in this video. Loved you in the "Stay" video. Reaffirmed it here. Your cool girl... For real. Yeah i know this video is from a while ago, but hit me up. Shakespeare's home is here in Oregon. Ashland as a matter of fact...
@Hollybeth84 well the part during the bridge when Marcy hits the high E is similar to the opera scene in Kane, Oz similar in the mix of black and white and color together, and Marcy on the bed at the end is nearly exactly like Delphine Serig in Marienbad...
Wow. They were utterly ignored in the US (I've never heard of them until a French and Saunders parody), but this music so encapsulates the best sounds/arrangements of 90s alt-rock-pop. This is great stuff! Why the hell weren't they huge here?
Circa 1994ish I tried LSD for the first time and this was one of the wonderful memories I have,this video.Growing up in Central Texas is weird and chemicals just made it ........well more interresting.I never thought (THIS BAND IS GAY OR NOT) It was just beautiful female voices in a house of outcasts,and beautiful voices,it is still a cherished memory.
Ur confused about ur sexuality u brought it up most people say cool video but u say ur a fag what are u think about gay people i know im not im happley married
I had my first lesbian crush on Siobhan back in the early 90s. I was 11 and going through (a very early) puberty and was starting to have all sorts of feelings, as you do at that stage in your life.
Bloody superb! These girls were cracking, there voices worked really well together. Siobhans deeper vocal and Marcella's high vocal, shame they disbanded. Absolute crime this song didn't do better as it's gr8!!! :-o x
@ennuieffect I know the thing is a lot of British are Irish decent so I was not sure if she was born in Ireland or the UK - I know she is from Meath Now which is about 1 min from my home in Ireland.. Looks at Dusty Springfield, she is a brit but her family are Irish..
Shame Siobhan's ego got in the way, b/c she was the weakest of the two. Together they were something to behold, but alas, they ended far before their time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
back in the day hey? well what the fuk is this day then? Its another day back in the day to someone born 20 years from now. YES im pissed of with mortality.
Siobhan was doing a Gloria Swanson- Sunset Blvd. thing in this video. That's why the scary face. By the way, the other girl in here had the stronger voice by far.
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. I miss the pre-Nirvana 1990s. Great sounds- the La's, Soup Dragons, Happy Mondays, Shakespeare's Sister, the Sundays... good times. Thanks for the vid, it sure takes me back.
Yes I loved the early 90's sound before grunge and rap groups took over. It seemed grunge and rap left the music scene a graveyard with all these great bands by the wayside. Too bad because they had such creativity. And after grunge faded out we had the Lilth Fair and all these female singer songwriters and the explosion of Alanis Morisette and then remember the Boy Band and Mickey Mouse Club graduates who took over in late 90's? Oh yes the music world has changed.
actually the quote comes from "Sunset Boulevard", when Norma Desmond says: I made you and I can break you whenever I want. See that...? actually, Siobhan plays a Norma Desmond wonderfully... and the visual references of the video are Sunset Boulevard and Citizen Kane

Circa 1994ish I tried LSD for the first time and this was one of the wonderful memories I have,this video.Growing up in Central Texas is weird and chemicals just made it ........well more interresting.I never thought (THIS BAND IS GAY OR NOT) It was just beautiful female voices in a house of outcasts,and beautiful voices,it is still a cherished memory.

I had my first lesbian crush on Siobhan back in the early 90s. I was 11 and going through (a very early) puberty and was starting to have all sorts of feelings, as you do at that stage in your life.

Bloody superb! These girls were cracking, there voices worked really well together. Siobhans deeper vocal and Marcella's high vocal, shame they disbanded. Absolute crime this song didn't do better as it's gr8!!! :-o x

@dominickbran07 Yup. A name doesn't get much more Irish than that.

@ennuieffect I know the thing is a lot of British are Irish decent so I was not sure if she was born in Ireland or the UK - I know she is from Meath Now which is about 1 min from my home in Ireland.. Looks at Dusty Springfield, she is a brit but her family are Irish..

Shame Siobhan's ego got in the way, b/c she was the weakest of the two. Together they were something to behold, but alas, they ended far before their time.

Siobhan was doing a Gloria Swanson- Sunset Blvd. thing in this video. That's why the scary face. By the way, the other girl in here had the stronger voice by far.

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. I miss the pre-Nirvana 1990s. Great sounds- the La's, Soup Dragons, Happy Mondays, Shakespeare's Sister, the Sundays... good times. Thanks for the vid, it sure takes me back.

Yes I loved the early 90's sound before grunge and rap groups took over. It seemed grunge and rap left the music scene a graveyard with all these great bands by the wayside. Too bad because they had such creativity. And after grunge faded out we had the Lilth Fair and all these female singer songwriters and the explosion of Alanis Morisette and then remember the Boy Band and Mickey Mouse Club graduates who took over in late 90's? Oh yes the music world has changed.

too bad that Siobahn wanted Shakespears Sister to be just her band and not like fifty-fifty(not in money).It wasn`t a suprise when they separate

Siohan can really make you feel spooked by her face, it looks like evil, but in a good way. Gr8 vid and song though.
