  • This is my top favorite song, by Shakespeare's Sister, and of all time!!! Soo pretty!!!! My best friend told his friends he would play this song on our first date lolz.. Another hint saying he likes me?? :D I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Szerintem ez a szám egy nagyon, de nagyon nagy szám volt, és még ma is az szerintem.

  • Phenomenal!!!

  • You're right. When this video was made it was probably the only one that actually told the story of song. It struck a chord in my life as the lyrics brought into play an actual event of having to loose a cherised loved one. It's one of my favorites of ALL TIME:-)

  • This a nice song...nice video...too bad it did not make the states. :(

  • Yes one of my favorite videos takes me back to 16

    

  • Thanks for uploading

  • Oh, I love this video. Sophie Muller is one of the best music video directors.

  • one beautiful song

  • Yeah but this hit the top spot in the UK & US, something Cher Lloyd will never experience ;-)

  • love this song & vid

  • me gusta el cover de cradle of filth

  • me gusta el cover de cradle of filth

  • this is a beautiful song i love it ! it reminds me of the people who has passed away in my life absolutley amazing!

  • This Is A Beautiful Song! This Remind's Me About The People Who Have Passed Away In My Life ! This Song Is Amazing It brings tear's to my eyes.

  • Siobhan Faheys part is so cool, i love it!! my favourite part!!!

  • Whats the point of the medical machines if they are not hooked up to him?

  • ...what you do if all your own kids made it out of being Kmart RATS and then chose to be RABIES HAMSTERS...?

  • why the fuck did cradle of filth cover this?

  • It would be nice if people would upload videos in the proper aspect ratio.

  • In this clip Siobhan Fahey was really scaring me when i was little!!!

  • Does anyone know who the guy in the video is?

  • 2:57 a note that can truly shatter glass if played loud enough and at full potential... love this song tbh :)

  • 2:00 is my fav part ..she reminds me of Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter. I love it

  • Best song of Shakespear's Sister - unbeatable!

  • who is cher lloyd?

  • This is a beautifully done video

  • i love this song and video! and i love the ending, it's just so... i don't know. feels great.

  • I wonder if Dani Filth got inspiration from Siobahn's look in this vid.

  • luv this song my sis says i sond like the rad head

  • sociallyineptguy, I coundn't agree with you more. Rarely back then did the video have anything to do with the song. This one I fell in love with the first time I saw it and stayed for hours with my fingers on the VCR record button just waiting for it to air again. Thanks for your post. and Vodka ( or lack thereof-depending) these days brings out the best is me,too :-)

  • I was thirteen when I first saw this video. It is such a lovely song and a great video.

  • Thanks for pulling the video into HD. However, the audio is a bit muffled. Thanks for bringing one of the best, most haunting songs to us all...

  • they're gone...just a pity they didn't... STAY WITH ME

  • fortunately i discovered this first, Marcella´s voice is magical, awesome, and the voice of Siobhan is really nice on the dramatic bridge. Awesome song and great video, perfect!! It´s funny Siobhan face hehe

  • this song got me thru my mothers death

  • I remember this video when it came out years ago while i was in high school

    especially memorable is the "angel of death" lady. she still creeps me hell out

  • do any of her other songs have high notes like the F6 here?

  • this song is amazing.

  • u cant remake music like this!!!!......original is the best...WHAT A VOICE!!!!!! wow

  • They don't make music like this any more....sad.

  • Looks like Jessie J's stylist for Do It Like A Dude was here too, doing it like Siobhan!

  • Cher Lloyd made 4 accounts to Dislike this!!

  • Siobhan is so MAGNIFICENT in this! She was definitely following the trail of Annie Lennox in true acting in a music video... At the end, she's all "oh how sweet, true love etc etc" but then she gives the fantastic eye-roll at 3:38 saying, "Ehh, who cares, I'll get him next time. I AM eternal, after all!"

  • Died as a Lover, Borned as a Fucker

  • cher lloyds version is way better.. this version the woman sounds like she has a voice problem :S

  • @SpongebobLuvsMeee probably the funniest comment i've seen on youtube, good one...

  • how many people do they eyes when she comes down the stairs :O :L

  • Never has the Grim Reaper looked so lovely.

  • I see here the mentions of this other person covering this song, and I see her in the suggested videos. She looks kind of like the pop diva type. I haven't listened to her version, but if she treats this like it's a regular love song, she's missing the point. Listen to the lyrics. It's a seriously disturbed take on obsessive love. Definitely not a "love" song. Great, great song; great, great video. Scared the crap outta me when I was a kid. Shit, who am I kidding...it still does.

  • One of the best songs ever from my best period of my life

  • One of my favorite songs from back in the day ....when I was still a teenager... :-D

  • i heard cher lloyd and it was alright but yea it doesnt top the original. this song is beautiful and i would looove if i could sing it just like shakespear's sister if not better.

  • great song!

  • Who the hell is Cher Lloyd?? I remember this from when I was 17. It still gives me chills. This song is so amazing.

  • @staceykitty723

    LOL

    never heard of Cher Lloyd either until seeing the comments by some here.

    i was 16 when this song first came out

  • I still have this single on cassette. Damn good music back then !

  • Amazing song and an excellent visual allegory: that the transcendental battle between life and death and good and evil could be literally reduced to the capricious energies of two women fighting over the same man's affections.

  • I've been literally trying to find the name of the group, title, and video for this for several years, until I just hear it on a "Ghost Whisperer" re-run. Thanks for posting this. Kudos!

  • i got scared wen they were fightinn over himm lol, i sooo didn't expect thahh to happen :P spooookyy lool ;P i don't really lyk gettinn scared cuz i get seriously scared, i mean i luk around to see thahh scary thing duzn't happenn to me and if i have to shut a window, i make sum1 else do it by sayinn i am scared xP lol

  • its sad that Cher Lloyds version has more views. this is the original and the best.

  • @ForceFedGrunge i bet if cher lloyd had released her version it wouldnt have topped the charts for 8 weeks like this one did

  • @ForceFedGrunge Not really "sad". This was released twenty years ago, when internet was an unheard of thing.

  • @andrewkiwi100 Exactly, but remember, this is Youtube, where it's much easier for people to make whiny comments like that because they want their comment to be "liked" the most. I agree with you, it's not really that "sad".

  • like if you knew this before shitty cher lloyd did it.

  • On the studio recording, in the background vocals between 3:29-3:31, you hear something very close to "Obama". Listen yourself. Spooky stuff. Maybe they really were witches.

  • I heard this song when I was about 18 years old and I loved it, this is a truely amazing song.

  • I saw heard this video when I was little and loved it, It is truely a amazing song.

  • i love this song but i dont get the story??

  • 2:07

    "Why so serious?"

  • Matt Cardle fan, Guess who won?, and guess who fucked up this song? (Cher Lloyd in case you hate x factor so much you didn't watch it)

  • are these ppl dead hope not luv dis song.......nd i wud neva off fond it if it wasnt for cherr loyd......luv d couris nd the 3 verse nd the line *WHEN YOUR PRIDE IS ON THE FLOOR ILL MAKE YHUU BEG FOR MORE* thumbs up if yhuu agree

  • @745shaneb god you even type like a Cher Lloyd fan.

  • Back in the day when the radio was worth switching on!

  • i love this song xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • every time she lifts him off the bed and screams stay gives me chills they sing with there hearts

  • 02:00 onwards is amazinn love how dark and crazy she comes across but at the same time she comes across very sexy lol! amazinn video and a classic :)

    yes..i did come here because of cher lloyd but as the old saying goes 'you cant beat the originals' :)

  • just as easy to scare men as it is for me to be scared of my purpose as a women............who is DRAMATIC IN THIS WORLD.........men or women......women and children they are very very very scary I know

  • That Eye-roll at the end, Brilliant - had me laughing.

  • lol @ Mellybean1004... I cant believe there are people here only because of Cher Lloyd!!

  • @Linelead24 I KNOW!! I do think Cher sang it well but this song is a CLASSIC and the video is amazing!! I was only 9 when it came out and I was mesmerised by it all. I also remember the French and Saunders parody of it too, LOL.

    Stunning song though, x

  • Who the hell is Cher Lloyd?

  • @mellybean1004 she is a singer on the popular UK tv show Xfactor right now and she's in the final

  • i have 2 confess im a BIG orginal fan but no1 can deny cher lloyd sang this particular song amazingly!!!!! she has raw talent and this was an excellent choice 2 show she isnt a 1 way artist!

  • this song is my childhood favourite i love it dont get me wrong i like cher lloyd but i dont think this was her song u cant replicate one of the greatest songs ever jus didnt do it for me cher to win x factor but not to ever sing this again lol

  • How can anyone say that Cher is better than this? What Cher did was do justice to the song - and that comes from someone who isn't even particularly a fan of hers. These women are the creators of the song, came up with the ideas for the video and portrayed their characters perfectly. That is why the song is so amazing and means a lot to so many people.

  • both the women in this vid r fukn scary, and y she wet a towel in a bowl and wash his hand...bitch dat aint gona help him, then from nowhere that freaky bitch shows up looking like she going to a fancy dress party dressed as brandon lee from the crow dressed as helena bonham carter. fucking wierd acid trip.

    ps cher lloyd sucks maaaaad dick and looks even more masculine than katy weasel.

  • cher was better....in my opinion <3

  • @TheMademoiselleGaga Agree! :-) SO much better! :p

  • i think the video would have been better if death took her boyfriend away

    not a happy ending but more dramatic

  • im here cus of x factor

  • and this is how it SHOULD be sung :-)

  • I love this song!!

    It's so sad as well!!

  • When I was little my friend and I used to dance to this song. We each had a role for it and I would be the good one. Ah, brings back memories. I love this song and I always will.

  • @iloveyoucherlloyd123 then you are a cock

  • That chic scares the bajebus out of me

    

  • i am genuinly not here because of cher lloyd, my parents brought me up practicly making me watch music like from the 70s 80s & 90s, and this is such a great song :)

  • if the death is like this, than let it be! i woud go with her :D

  • This song was released again this week and is already No12 in the uk charts.. it's a great tune.. haunting and timeless and better get to the No1!

    Siobhan still looks as hot as she did 10 - 15 years ago whatever it was.. just saying.

  • thatt woman from dead was drunk whilst filming this ahaaa (:

  • God Siobhan is fucking hot in this i remember when i first saw this aged 13 an she still gives me a rock on.

  • @Pain2Pleasure LOLZ she's like the ultimate fantasy Goth chick.

  • I'm sorry but Cher Lloyd did a better version on the X-factor. I dont like the little high bits she put on the end of the words, it would be good if it kinda flowed but i think shes done it too stacatto. When that woman came down the stairs i ws liek what the hell? i didnt get it until the end haha thats gonna give me nightmares! xx

  • This video was banned in Germany, they thought it satanic somehow

  • i dident know that the singer with the long hair was in the gogo's big difference

  • bad quality.

    amazing song.

  • wtf!?

  • still the best

  • one of the best pop ballands EVER!

  • which one is the former bananarama member?

  • @singing4hope The one that has the deeper voice, the "evil" one trying to steal the guy from the first girl. Her name's Siobhan Fahey.

  • This is the first time i've watched this video since 92. I didn't notice back then that at the end of the video Siobhan disappears into an incomplete pyramid. That symbolism is everywhere.

  • Cher Lloyd has nothing on the original!

  • i actaully love the woman in the shiney outfit's voice, soo strong:)

  • if cher lloyd was to release this doubt it would stay at no1 for 8 weeks shakepears sister r the best its such a classic song

    even tho i have to admit she was really good!

  • I love this, and heard 2day on Radio 1 that it's randomly popped back in the charts at number 9!

  • 18 yrs old & it's #9 in the mid week chart. You can't beat a classic like this.

  • Cher Lloyd was way better than this.

  • @ConnorOfAmble Utter bollocks!!!

  • @ConnorOfAmble, you can't be serious? Cher Lloyd's performance was brilliant, but the original is 100% stunning.

  • haha no one had prepared me for that. omg she's is some crazy stuff but woah she looks ummmmm fun:Phaha

  • seriously, although i love helena bonham carter, siobhan should be bellatrix!

  • @lauraHPFAN haha she does look quite awesome here! I love Helena as well.

  • @HPislegend248 oh please.This ORIGINAL is by far better. You prob heard this song for the first time on x factor. I dont need to say anymore bahahaha.

  • @Anto424 Yeah I did. I was 1 when it came out. I apologize for not being up to date with the music scene before I could walk. I heard it on X Factor first and I prefer Cher's version to this weird load of crap. So fucking what, asswipe?

  • @HPislegend248 yeah i was born 1992. But I appreciate old music aswell. Get your head checked if your think that this is crap. Im not saying that Cher's was bad. Infact i thought that she was great but it makes no sense to go off on a high saying that its better than the original when its clearly not. Like seriously dude..

  • @Anto424 I never said I don't appreciate old music. I just said I don't appreciate this rubbish. I'm not on a high. I think Cher's version is way better and that's not going to change anytime soon. The first bit of this was allright. But when the second woman came out and started "singing" or whatever she was doing, that just sealed the deal for me. Rubbish.

  • @HPislegend248 I think its brilliant... Btw the lead singer is Irish. And this song is famous for its creepyness. Its supposed to be. Its about death.

  • @Anto424 No shit Sherlock that's prob the reason Cher was crying. So what if she's Irish? I'm not going to automatically love it just cos I'm Irish too. I hate the way people think all Irish people love Irish acts. Newflash world: I hate jedward

  • @HPislegend248 eh i hate Jedwards guts. Im just saying.

  • @Anto424 At least we agree on something ;c)

  • Okay, Cher sang this nicely on the Xfactor for once, and though I don't like her as a person I will admit she sang it very well. However, saying that she did a better job than the people who wrote, self-produced, recorded and made the song one of the longest ever number 1 records in the UK record industry's history just doesn't make sense to me. So my view is: 4-1 to Shakespears Sister.

  • @JJMusicLimitedUK Couldn't agree more. Yes Cher did a good version of this but the original is better. The fact that they wrote and prodcuced it just adds to that fact.

  • this shits all over x factor karaoke singers.

  • Amazing how popular this vid and song has become since Cher's take on it. BTW my opinion is that both this version and Cher's version was amazing! :D:)

  • i think cher did a brilliant version

  • Cher did this song justice but it will NEVER be as good as the Original

  • evry one vote for CHER LLOYD i am

  • evry one vote for Cher LLoyd

  • @TheYeo96 yes

  • @TheYeo96 No-desperate wannabe who lies and thinks she's some kind of ghetto rapper. It's cringeworthy. Vote WAGNER-since he's the shittest and it sums up Cowell's machine.

  • @cockywatchman1976 she obviously doesn't think she's some sort of ghetto rapper if she was happy to sing this... great song great cover by cher would happily listen to either!

  • @GordonCee96 Fair enough, your opinion. Mine is that she is an obnoxious little wannabe-half decent voice, admitted. But she doesn't write original music-so little real talent. Im more into real music than karaoke-this is just comedy for me. Its a circus that people like you buy into. Id rather listen to a classic band, or raw talented band-anyone who can play live and write their own stuff. If I want karaoke I'll buy a Now Thats Music CD and listen to a load of wannabes singing rubbish, badly!

  • @GordonCee96 Jeees, even her name is ripped off!!!

  • God this sucks in comparison to Cher's version(no offense)

  • @rich11c Why am I a muppet. This is terrible compared to Cher

  • @HPislegend248; It can't actually, because this is the original! :| But Cher did sing it very well (:

  • @Emileeh22 Just cos its the original doesn't mean its better. Leona's version of Run was way better than Snow Patrol's and Cher's version of Stay is way better than this weird rubbish. I mean come on the woman who comes out and wrestles with the other girl? WTF? Cher was way better

  • @HPislegend248 I agree that originals are not ALWAYS better but in this case nothing beats this tremedous, raw, original version. I'm not a big fan of Cher but I do think she did this song justice :D

  • @catzeyezuk This version kind of gives me the creeps and I think Cher had a bigger vocal range to really let the song come into a league of its own. Maybe its because this from the 80s and the style is so foreign to what I'm used to. I don't know

  • @HPislegend248 this is from 1992, not the 80s.

  • @ProWrestlingEVE OK so I was 1 year old when it came out. Cut me some slack

  • @HPislegend248 lol hahahahah yes i think its just that its foreign to you. this song is an anthem!

  • @conzo21 Really? An anthem? People were into some weird stuff back then(no offense)

  • @HPislegend248 yep you got that right

  • @HPislegend248 I dont get what you mean? Infact I dont understand what you mean..

  • @Anto424 I mean that this version is awful and Cher's was fantastic.

  • Are we all here because of Cher Lloyd?

  • @farrechanel Yup!! :p

    Love Cher!!! lol

  • @farrechanel LOOL YEAH

  • @farrechanel haha genius comment :)

    i am! i prefer her version to be honest!

  • @farrechanel no. no and no.

  • @fairytaleforest Could not agree more.

  • @farrechanel yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @farrechanel Hell yeh.

  • @farrechanel i know i am. it's really weird coz i think cher's performance was better

  • @farrechanel that is why Im here

  • @farrechanel yup
