Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Sand

[XXmello42]

@z1rakz1gal Blixa never did heroin, nobody in neubauten did. but the sad thing is, if you want to see blixa and nick perform together now, you'll need a tardis...

[XXmello42]

@licor007 and nixa <3

[MrMotorcity13]

Boredom brought me here.... Now I'm not bored....

[Timwgtn]

Harry Worth brought me here

[skooterbud05]

I jujst love these two. Oh those wonderful 60's. Best days of my life.

[TheNEK1995]

Thats so class...Classic.xxx

[Sinnerto]

Guido Belcanto brought me here

[XXmello42]

@licor007 blixa should do this with nick...

[licor007]

@XXmello42 that would be so fucking cool ! :D

[z1rakz1gal]

@XXmello42 blixa will have you for that! and anyway the only thing they have together nowadays- is history! sad though it is. (i would have said they have had heroin in common but that far too boring)

[licor007]

@z1rakz1gal somewhere in an interview with Blixa I read, that they never took heroin (I mean members of Neubauten), they were usually either wasted or on MDMA and similar shit, Nick Cave took heroin

[z1rakz1gal]

@licor007 you might be right there..and i knew wat you meant re; EN. thanks for the info.

[stevosomebizzare]

love and devotion

[girlinterrupted1000]

'Breakfast on Pluto' brought ME here.

[windstorm1000]

hypnotic melody with mysterious lyrics. Lee and nancy are like a musical cream and coffee, just waiting to join forces.

[licor007]

Einsturzende Neubauten brought me here

[yurtoman]

@licor007 a mi también!!

[brianartillery]

@licor007 Me too! Always loved their minimal take on this. Blixa's vocal is wonderful.

[Albacorewing]

I love Lee's old Western accent when he says "I am a stranger in your land..." and Nancy's feminine voice.

[z1rakz1gal]

@Albacorewing yeah u gotta ask the question..it was the 60's so ya cant say 'get on my dick' or some similar idiocy, but im a stranger in your pants might be more accurate. certainly shines new light on 'some velvet morning when im str8- im gonna open up yr gate' i think we both know to which 'gate' he refers.

[Albacorewing]

@z1rakz1gal Not necessarily so.

I always thought "Some Velvet Morning" was someone relating a story from the past. It is not as sexual as "Sand."

"Sand" tells the old story of the nomadic man meeting a woman in a settled community. The sexual connotations are very strong, but "land" is what he means at first. He uses the accent of the Old West. He refers to "your fire" which means he came in from outside.

[Albacorewing]

@z1rakz1gal The sexual part is when she says that her fire is burning high.

[quaxk]

what album is this from, originally?

[Albacorewing]

@quaxk I know you can get it on Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood Fairytales & Fantasies.

[JHamiltonR]

Are they on a bike?

[lewpie4pool]

get these too together and you've got magic, simply brilliant.

[30martyn]

how can you dislike this!!! Lee had the greatest baritone voices RIP he wrote some great songs also for Duane Eddy

[thetimelesswonders]

"Sand" is a 1966 song written by Lee Hazlewood, performed with Nancy Sinatra on How Does That Grab You?.

[Titan52berg]

@thetimelesswonders The song also appeared on the LP, "Nancy and Lee ( the cover of which appears above in the posted video) ", only the stereo channel separation was switched! I used to own both of the recordings.The records were sold at a yard sale years ago, but I had always wanted to have better copies of Nancy and Lee's music... I now own seven different Nancy Sinatra CDs in my collection!

[ringo27ful]

Haven't heard this album in years...funny how the words and music stays in my memory...thanks

[twoZJs]

These two were the greatest in the late '60s, just back from Nam, 'Summer Wine', Sand, 'SomeVelvetMorning' are the best. Establishing a life direction after the war had ripped dreams from me. 4-24-11.

[easternpa2]

I can't believe how many people know (and love) the EN cover. This is the song that introduced me to EN back in the 80s, and I've loved them ever since. I was happy to finally get around to first hearing the original track about 11 years ago. Its been a great song for a very long time.

[zombiedude25]

goosebumps 

[pseudonamed]

OP8 does an amazing cover of this too

[dickrobot]

This song runs deep into my thoughts. I enjoy it unlike any other. Some Velvet Morning as well.

[mgunar]

Lovely song.

[emmadarling2]

Notice that their faces are the same color as the backround?

Beautiful song though

x

[CsyraVampireHeart]

I love this song... But am I the only one to find... underlying meaning?

You see what I mean ?

[dickrobot]

@CsyraVampireHeart You've perked my curiosity. Please elaborate the underlying meaning to me.

[playgirlc]

@CsyraVampireHeart - just sounds like a one-night stand or brief affair to me.... but then i've only heard it once, so i might change my mind...

[playgirlc]

@CsyraVampireHeart - just sounds like a one-night stand or brief affair to me.... but then i've only heard it once, so i might change my mind...

or are you on about heroin (i'm so innocent!)

[rdhd99]

@playgirlc hi she lores him in drugs him and steals his spurs and money

[Bleepbloopd]

Love this goddamn song

[1979sterling]

Marily Manson are a pathetic cover of Einsturzende Neubauten. I doubt Lee and Nancy were quite Blixa's cup'o tea, either. I have to laugh at the thought of him discoving this song.

[fairfax1960]

Just listened to the Einsturzende Neubauten version. Definitely not my cup-o-tea. I thought I was listening to a cover by Marilyn Manson. Just my opinion though.

[fairfax1960]

This album is a classic!!

[deekboy]

Beautiful. Thank you

[VinDcator]

The best spiritual song on the disk. I played it hundreds of times back in the early days. Thanks for this great, nostalgic post!

[peeobee]

Lee is the spitting image of Randy Marsh

[bobbitcat]

thanks mate from john coffyn wiskey comp viets nz

[minkaworks]

thank you so much for posting.....RIP lee.

[XXplaythegamesXX]

yes,no video just the song.....AWESOME HQ-SOUND !!!....

[Ylirymiry]

wasn't this in a movie? Anyone know which one? I want to say it was a quentin terrentino movie

[geoffmurrell]

I love the backwards guitar bit, fantastic, and yes the whole Nancy & Lee album is a classic!

[minkaworks]

my 4 year old requests to hear this song EVERY SINGLE MORNING

[VECTIZ]

@minkaworks haha, excellent :)

[harlemdallas]

G longtemps écouté 7 album, la voix pénétrante 2 Lee Hazlewood & celle caressante 2 Nancy...

[cliffwalkinfool]

This music was hokey, almost smarmy, back then as it is today. Still, I felt (and still feel) a very strong attraction to it. "Elusive Butterfly" and "Wichita Lineman" were also among those dreamy Snooze-Button Classics. Catch one final dream before reality hits.

I think this was the earliest use of a reversed guitar where the player actually wrote a lick, reversed it, studied those sounds, played them, and then reversed the result. Everybody else seemed to simply be playing around with it.

[ferlenarab]

This song is great, brings back so many memories. I still have all their albums.

[RoadkillAU]

You beauty! Found it! Love this song - the whole damned album!

[Helismoke]

In 1968 I had a '66 Pontiac GTO Convertible and was in the Army. I would put the top down, turn up my 8 Track Tape Deck with the Reverb on, and play Nancy and Lee as I drove through Mineral Wells, Texas. Truely underappreciated album.

[coxhoe789]

my parents played this album so much that i can still sing along word for word and i,m 52

[MrGraphis]

Neubaten's cover is very good... but doesn't come close to the original.

[tochsenhirt]

great song

[zazzipj]

i prefer Neubauten version

[dracaenaa]

@zazzipj me too

[ScarletWoman666666]

@zazzipI fucking love this song. whatever version, big fan of both, when I was dating my now wife, this was on the juke at our meeting bar.

[ichbineintoober]

Those backwards notes were fukkin psychedelic!

[strt8motor]

When I was around 10 or 11 (Centuries ago) I was given an LP of these two. I just ADORED it. I played it until it could play no longer. What I wouldn't give to have that LP today!! Thank you so much for posting this!!

[TheDragline288]

rox

[fridaysrockinmarysue]

Amen, I love Nancy and LEE too:O)

[JerusalemHolyLand]

beautiful song

[nukechem57]

This song reminds of "White Bird" by "It's a Beautiful Day". It's somewhat psyche, and has catchy simplicity with similar musical instruments. The baritone vs. soprano voices accents the similarity, and I find both songs desirable.

[schwinglow]

I like OP8's version, first one I heard. and yes he is no longer walking this earth.

[j355icadog]

i like everything nancy and lee do, they cant do no wrong in my eyes.

[ThomasStedter]

I adore their voices! :)

[zaaritha]

He was the best!

[ThomasStedter]

why "was" is he dead???

[zaaritha]

One great recording!

[passionateaboutmusic]

Were they in a relationship? Just wondering.

[OSLAINTE123]

I dunno? But their songs have some "oomph"

[MrPeace2mind]

I like the Einstürzende Neubauten version over this one ... this one has no soul, it is kind of without a heart or power.

[pulyapudoff]

Nope, you're wrong. EN made it into some kind of growly krautrock dirge without regard for the feeling between a man and woman. Nancy and Lee made this song a tension-filled ballad.

[BloodPigggy]

You're both wrong.

[RiceKruspey]

@pulyapudoff

Wow, you're still complaining about Neubauten's version?

[pulyapudoff]

Wow, you're commenting on a three week old post? Welcome back!

[idiotkrati]

so sweat !

[Bernardice]

No, tepic, říkat formofací směsi nebo vypískovači?

Hm, samá voda, samá voda. Třeba se později někdo ozve. Ale dík za snahu i odpověď.

[Bernardice]

No jo, ale říkat někomu mělčino, písku, pláži, to je jaksi mimo smysl, že?

[Bernardice]

Nevíte někdo, jestli se sand dá přeložit ještě jinak než písek, mělčina, pláž atd? Nebo to má ještě nějaký jiný význam? Díky.

[GurusCZ]

no takhle jeste písek - sypat pískem - posypat pískem - pískový - pláž - písková barva - vypískovat - písčina - písečný - formovací směs - brousit - pískovat - kuráž - mělčina - smirkovat

[yak6ex]

Nice, how many hits did they have together.

[darkmarkrammstein]

this stuff really gets in ones head.

[jonedelleman]

There is one great piece missing : Poet, Bum byLee. I hope someone can put it on youtube . I had the record but it got lost.

[kerdubennak]

i'm discovering this song about 20 years after i first got stunned by einstuerzende neubauten's cover, i didn't even know NS an LH composed it originally... it sounds beautiful

[JohnnyFox86]

Einsturzende Neubauten cover is good. Very good.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Agreed.

Erm...what's with all the angry Czechs down here though?

[ScarletWoman666666]

@JohnnyFox86 I love it too.

[ScarletWoman666666]

@JohnnyFox86 Yes it is great!. In fact Im embarrassed to admit it , but this the Eintstruzende Neubauten version was the only one I have heard until my girlfriend said it was a cover. We saw a local documentary later of Lee Hazelwood, has it made it where you live?(We live in Austin TX)

[8Svetlost]

@JohnnyFox86

[DanceHelena138]

Were they ever together?

[11xzxzxz]

I don't listen to country music (sorry) but the many cross-over hits and gems of Sinatra And Hazlewood shows what a great vocal duo they were.  Were they an item?

[ModryTesak]

Great song, but sorry, czech version with signer named Peter Spaleny is better.

[feetlover18]

hahhahahahahahhaa czech version better hahahahhaahhahaha youre fucking crazy

[ModryTesak]

hahaha? You are an stupid american motherfucker!!!

[feetlover18]

fuck you bitch this song sucks in chez shit

american voice mutch mutch better

[nauort23]

Actually, the motherfucker (feetlover18)you were responding to is Belgian (you know, home of NATO Headquarters? haha), NOT American. But,

THIS American would like to know the Czech name of "Sand"... I looked up Spaleny and listened to several songs; I liked Kdyz ji potkas, so thanks for recommending him. But, please, not all "stupid motherfuckers" on YouTube are Americans--especially not the AMERICANS who created YouTube and the Internet through which we are able to communicate. Dekuji.

[jonedelleman]

nauort, good that somebody finally said it !

[jjbenn35]

Are you listening Susan ?

J

[IchbinSchalker]

the lyrics is wonderful. i love this song.

[jjbenn35]

The lyrics are so sexy, is awsome.

We lost a wonderful talent with Lee's passing.

I will never forget his music or his voice.

[TheFallOFAvel]

is the moostache that makes the man not the other way around.

lee=glee!

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

I have "Fairy Tales & Fantasies-The Best Of Nancy & Lee." It's one of my favorite on my entire collection!

[shiakue666]

Outstanding album, one of my favorites from my Dad's collection. That Lee Hazelwood was sure lucky there was no MTV back then, that mug, ouch.

[missSFleming]

he's not so bad, only that 70's moustache >>>

but at all he's a lot better than some young guys, like efron or other cute boys with gay-hairdo and girly clothes.

[missSFleming]

hey, efron-fans, don't slagg me down!

[EyMeng]

David bowie almost looks like one of those effron-types in an old picture of him in the mid '60s

[XxSternchenxX8]

Lol i remember how my dad used to play these songs every single day and i jus so fell for em. It´s definitely one of my favorites from his collection too. So i guess ur dad likes the beatles too? ;)

[missSFleming]

I'm 24 but I prefer this song than some paris-hilton-shitty-tunes.

[Helismoke]

I heard this song just before shipping out to Viet Nam, so it brings back the memories of a life I never rally went back to.

I believe "Nancy and Lee" is one of the most under rated Albums ever, all the songs were very moving.....

[tacocatisapalindrome]

Sure you did. So how was Viet Nam then? Why didn't you want to rally back to that life?

[Helismoke]

Once you fight in a war you never regain the previous life no matter how hard you try.

[jonedelleman]

taco, I think he meant that he came back a changed man and could never see the life hehadleft behind in his home the same way he did before he went to war.

[HepCat22W]

I know what you mean about the war. I was there....I went back. I am still fighting the war, soon it will do me in.

[cracklydubplate]

all this time and I never knew the Einsturzende Neubauten version was a cover until today. Awesome original version as well !

[allieree]

Great team--Lee and Nancy. I don't remember: Was Lee Hazelwood a country singer?

[roberthbradshaw]

Remember the tv special years ago with that song. Really was a good album.

[Zobor111]

"About a Fire" and "See the Little Children"

are other greats from Nancy.

[magsli26]

gorgeous stuff!!! god i love nancy and lee..

[teetee199thlibUSA69]

NANCY SINATRA AND LEE HAZELWOOD AT THEIR BEST.

[momzeegram]

This entire album is truly a classic! It wasn't played as much as it could have been in my area, but that never changed how good it was!

It was always on my stereo.

[Pokal777]

@momzeegram I agree, a classic indeed. My father played this on the car stereo, now (20 year later) i found myself looking the songs up :-) Cheers.

[shaniaisgod]

@momzeegram its still on my turntable all the time

[steveinbelgium]

This is my favorite song from this LP. It's a shame Youtube listeners can't hear it in stereo. Nancy sings from 1 speaker and Lee from the other. Thanks for posting!!

[hfelknor]

Just add  &fmt=18 on the end of the URL and hit enter to hear the stereo version........

It's GREAT.

[duerdenn]

Brilliant song-I think its as good as Some Velvet Morning!!

Thanks for posting-hope more people spread the word...
