@wangobangodango Are you fucking kidding me? Your are an incompetent nitwit. This song is obviously magnificent. Also, homosexuality is awesome you fool.
Ahh the memories. Use to fight with my ex boyfriend and listen to this cassette driving all around LA. Thinking how much this song related to me and the time the things that were going on in my life.
The best track from 'Twist Of Shadows', and yes, I know this isn't the album version, but I love it, and even worked out the guitar and keyboard parts for fun. Again, better than NIN, full stop.
@Tubularek I hate it when people post a brilliant song and display a picture of a totally new lineup, as we see here. This brilliant song is a result of EARLY Xymox...not the new COX you see above. Thanks for exposing this!!
The B-side was BRILLIANT as well........................
The first band i saw, when i moved from The Hague to Delft in 1985. I still remember that gig. The projection of the spooky graveyard ..and the charming Ankie Wolbert. Glad I've seen them in oct2009 in Leiden. They played for at least 100 minutes...
the members of this band are all completely horrific by my standards..... but they have been writing some of the best music i've listened to for many many years....
ummm by the way i'm 28 . . . old to some . . . i feel fine .you're old when your mind feels old and tired and boring. enjoy life. meet people and be safe. have fun.
this song. oh yes right? well i'm just a freakin' huge muthaf fan . . . i have been in the scene for years. still as inlove with the band as i was when i first heard them back in the day

This song brings back a lot of seedy memories, hehehehe, most unforgetable when I gave Ronnie Mooring head in a bar in stockholm. Yes, I am a gay goth.
just that it appears a cry for attention and possibly acceptance. it's a waste of comment space and it's pretty lame ...... but everyone is entitled to their comment, no matter the circumstances.....
let's broaden that a bit. "wow..a goth..how unique"
i remember what this band looked like back in the day. they just look ridiculous these days (especially the two ren faire rejects that brought their boyfriend, azreal abyss, to the photo shoot....).
I remember when this came out back in 89. It brings back old memories of the 80's. The good ol day's. It reminds me of the summer of 89 right after high school graduation at Valencia High School in Placentia CA. A good song for sure.
Look for other great bands from Holland too like I Spy, Secret Sounds, Viva Voce, an Social Security and The Meteors. Why in heavens name arent there any clips to find of this 80's super bands from Holland....? Im so sad I only find out until know that Xymox was a dutch band.....
The picture doesn't fit with the original COX-Blind Hearts Line up. This was the Medusa-era on. Show us the REAL 4 AD COX. I have an autographed promo-set with this photo/1994. Furthermore, this is the 4 AD version-remix of the Blind hearts that was released through Cleopatra in the US. The 4 AD single is fairly barren, minimal. This is a mash-up mix of the early 4AD/Twist of Shadows 12" version. The best song out of all of the TOS lp.
I screw all of 'em, mate minus the mooring bros. all look very pleasing to me eyes. Mix yr. colours-Red, short, long blond and wavy. three darling birds, all of them.
Me gusta esta canción. Le encuentro una melancolía similar a la de algunos temas de Killing Joke a quien prefiero. Este grupo está bien para escuchar de vez en cuando.
there was and is no such thing as electro-goth. nor did "darkwave" even exist in the late 80s. coldwave did but not darkwave. deathrock(bauhaus, sisters of mercy, misfits, chameleons uk, etc) is completely different than electro/synth oriented stuff.
synth is right. i was totally into the industrial/d-rock scene in the mid to late 80s (ex: meat beat manifesto, a split second, consolidated) synth's d-rock examples are spot on. I worked in record stores from 1983-1995 and i never heard of the term darkwave. Clan's best album to me is Medusa. I was lucky enough to find that on a French import cd many years ago. Thanks for posting this song. Nice to know that I am not the only 4AD fan on the planet.
in Europe "Dark Wave" would be the right term, it is still in use in the goth scene for darker electronic wave music. and there was stuff like that in the 80s, a lot of now classical german darkwave/goth bands startet in the 80s like Deine Lakaien (very very good darkwave band)
no efbanach you are correct. this isn't goth. it's electronic. early 80s new wave did sound very dark like this. And at least the club mix version of this song is closer to that, not the "Death rock"-goth side to it. sorry goths but you'll have to face reality that xymox was best when they were elctronic-wave.
Fuck, this song is as old as me. I don't know what to say other than I love their music. It's so beautiful. They know how to be deep but without pissing me off like The Cruxshadows and other gothy bands. Now those guys really overdo it. So damn corny and not in a good way at times.( I still like them though.)
