can't believe this song has already 12 years, I remember I played it like 10 times a day, and like Dave Graham says: "I just can't get enough" of it... Love that 90's days, times won't come back, but I've got all of my life soundtracks, and for me it's ok. Hope I can see them in Peru one day, any businessmen should bring them here!!! Rgds for all 90's lovers!!!
i loved this song.. still do. Its beautiful. Live were huge back in the 90s.. Secret Samadhi was a pretty heavy album, love the opening riffs in Lakinis Juice =D
I saw Live in Reno, NV two days ago. They really surprised me; really a good show - awfully short, though; they only played about 80 minutes. They did this song & they rocked!
Love this song so much. I wish more of their earlier stuff was posted. I remember falling in love with this band in the early 90's ..back when MTV still played music videos
a gorgeous tragic love song that moves me everytime I hear it. there is nothing like the feeling a woman gets when she turns the head of the man she loves......this song was playing during a defining moment for me. At a stoplight, this song playing, our eyes met, and I knew...I will never forgot the intensity and still feel it like it was 1997 all over again.
This is the best version of the two videos released, don't know why they decided to change it. This is a great song and great video. Thanks for posting!
Thank you, Live and UMG, for posting this here. I too lamented that MTV pulled this after such a brief time, and I've been wanting to see it ever since. Will have to pick up the Awake DVD collection.
Very hard for me to imagine a better video than this. It's concept is so artistic in the use of light, shadow and simple objects. In it's simplicity it far surpasses anything that's being made in the music video genre today. Plus the song is exquisite and a joy to listen to.
Good Luck to Pink, Rihanna and all the rest of the AI types for their trying to get close to this
you dumbass....hes not singing about Mother Mary....this song is about a GANG RAPE that a person turned a blind eye to. listen to the words why dont you......and watch the original video......
Well idiot. We live in a free country, and this song can be about whatever I want it to be about, for me. So go "fack" yourself looser;-)I am guessing you have been involved in gang rape befor, you know so much about it!
you idiot.....this song is not about Mpther Mary....this song is about a GANG RAPE, and somebody turned a blind eye to it.......listen to the fuckin words, and watch the old vidoe....the original
how the fuck do you know what the intentions of the writer were? thats your opinion and as lame as it is you are entitled to it. thats YOUR interpretation. you got balls calling someone else a dumbass because they see it differently than you do.
I saw this video once on MTV's "Alternative Nation" (remember? hosted by Kennedy?), and haven't seen it since; but I never forgot the name John Register. I thought this video was aurally and aesthetically gorgeous.
I first saw this video way the hell back in the 90's, back when MTV played videos, and I only saw it once and thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Then it disappeared and they replaced it with some crappy video with performance footage. I've been looking for this thing for 10 years - and it's just as good as I remember it. Amazing, amazing work.
One of the band member's mom worked at the sailing club I sailed at when I was a kid and she said they pulled this video because MTV got a really negative reaction from viewers who said they didn't understand it. I'm not going to claim I can explain every nuance of this video, but I sure as heck wish they hadn't replaced it!
So.......does that explain why they made a second, MUCH inferior (and more boring) version? Been wondering about that......although I DO think Ed looks better with hair (in the second version)!
Perfect. The first time I saw a John Register work--I think it might have been Restaurant by the Sea (where Ed sits and sings) I thought, "Yeah, thats how i feel inside." I wish I knew the story behind this beautiful video.
There is a DVD with the music videos. The latest release is called Awake. If you purchase the Deluxe edition you get a DVD with music videos as well as additional material.
hace poco aqui en Argentina pasaron una propaganda del auto Ford Focus con esta cancion... me trajo recuerdos de hace 10 años... hermosa y melancolica cancion
Just look at the scenes, the art; they seem bleak, yet beautiful, they make an artistic statement about the world. They are stark and mysterious, the contrast of light and dark, of shadow, the dark silhouettes of the people in the video, how alone and solitary they look, the emptiness of the locations, long shadows.. they all contribute to a beautiful yet very melancholy, stark world, fitting with the song. This video adds a completely new and fitting layer to the song.
So true; I miss videos that were truly emotional. I don't mean emo, but rather music with significance, both intellectual and emotional, that meant something beyond normal life (getting girlfriends, money, et cetera), that said something unique and true.
i agree with you but how come people say: and quote "new rock and hip hop is better than that 90's 80's and 70's crap?" I mean how is new rock hip hop and pop better? all hip hop talks about is ladies money and fancy cars? these 90's rockers talk about life, love and many other things. all pop stars are washed up and are drug abusers and the new rock spreading emo i mean its horrible!
I hate hip hop, I love music with meaning, and heart, that is what I miss. It is not popular anymore, and that disappoints me. I hate turning on the radio and hearing songs about clubbing, drinking, drugs, money and women. I totally agree with you. This, and most of the stuff from the 70's 80's and 90's was awesome, that was pretty much what I was conveying.... Just didn't word it right!!!
this video charge me of thousands of ambigual sensations reminds me my childish afternoons quiet summers damn its so depressing, the feeling of being alone in that room this is a master piece saw the paintings of register but the director is the genius
Classy and beautiful song with an incredibly romantic sentiment! And yes, the video is a peice of art!
