04 - The Pastels - Crawl Babies

[89arnburg]

I was watching a live yo la tengo and I saw James from Yo la tengo wearing a Pastels t shirt. and I looked up the Pastels. Fucking GREAT!!!

[radioheadsundays]

I like this version more than the version on the "up for a bit with the pastels"

[ernesthemingfish]

Stheno & Euryale are worth checking if you like this

[Martylovescats]

Reminds me of Kids in the Hall....strange....

[pekepeep]

i want to build her up.. up as tall as a church.. just to watch her.. just to watch her falling down.

<3

[2martyn]

wheres me anorak..classic.

[PieceofMindmusic]

the vaselines are adorable in this video :]

[ronrostog]

Memories. Thank-you. Great stuff.

[kqpm392]

love the outro

[Martylovescats]

Doesn't anyone else think that this sounds and looks like the Kids In The Hall opening theme?

[KevinHeaven9]

what is it with scotland and bands with great pop sensibilities....

[PieceofMindmusic]

@KevinHeaven9 - they all idolized the beatles since they were in the womb? just a guess.

[kqpm392]

90's? more like 80's! this was released 1986

[M4OON]

how good does this sound after all these years - and after all the 2011 crap around now !!!

Good upload mate - nice one

its spot on for 1993 & 2011 :)

[MrJeepsters]

ça, c'était un super groupe.

La meilleure période des labels indies britanniques

[JMo27]

Francis Mckee from the Vaselines at 1:59 And again at 3:07 kissing Eugene Kelly. How cute :)

[TatianaMontenegrov]

me encanta esta cancion, una y otra vez..

[gibsonvolume]

good god this song is fantastic!

[ludella77]

Featuring Eugene and France McKee?

[tony2566]

One of my all time favorite songs!

[cuddlebuttons]

*sigh* why'd i have to ever get old? GREAT SONG!

[cesarvilcapoma]

ME RECUERDA AL AÑO 96

[Useless2112]

Such fucking amazing lyrics. I love the Pastels. I miss living in Glasgow, hanging out at Monorail... I'm twenty fucking years old, I'm too young to feel this nostalgic.

[xsultrysongstress79x]

@Useless2112 It's okay, i am 19 and i feel even more nostalgic. The '90s was such a great decade. Shame we weren't teenagers then.

[portisalpha]

@xsultrysongstress79x I'm 19 too and feel the same way!! What I would do to have seen Mazzy Star and Cocteau Twins live. :(

[xsultrysongstress79x]

@portisalpha Yeah, sucks doesn't it. My musical voids will never be filled with Mileys and Biebers. :(

[louiecostello]

@portisalpha are you me?

[talktal]

umm... this came out in the mid 80s @xsultrysongstress79x

[xsultrysongstress79x]

@talktal What is your point? I was just talking about being a teen in the '90s.

[noisesionoise]

@xsultrysongstress79x same case, I really love this music, all of this bands are great!

[LuisDivision]

@xsultrysongstress79x i know... i'm 18 but i fucking love the 90's!

[timothyahall]

@xsultrysongstress79x This video is from about 1987, though!

[HMandW]

@xsultrysongstress79x Dude, check out Death Cab For Cutie and Fleet Foxes:P

[tunkamerica]

@xsultrysongstress79x we were teenagers then. but this is the 80's.

[BJORT]

love x 100000 billion

[360muse]

Best pop song ever.

[luanaluizy]

someone has the letter of this song?

[louiecostello]

how have i only just noticed the vaselines in this whipping each other

[Useless2112]

Because you DON'T PAY ATTENTION. >:(

The wedding is off. :(

[louiecostello]

im sorry! i can change!

[SimonDolan]

This is great - I`ve just discovered this.

[01arlen]

I once thought 'Up for a bit' was one of the best albums ever made, listening to this 20 years later, it still is. They should have been able to retire from the quality of this record. well crafted tunes ... cheers Mr and Mrs Pastel :-)

[milligano]

the two who kiss at the end - I think they are the vaselines

[BillyBraguette]

There's a slowest version on the album 'Up fort a Little Bit with the pastels'. Anybody knows where this fast one come from ?

[BillyBraguette]

@gigi46

Thank you !

[areyoustarting]

[cvijetics]

Loving this =]

[doomstar]

all sucks

[conbonz666]

TWEE AS FUCK

[pincmin]

The slow version is on "Up for a bit with The Pastels". If you want this version, it's on "Truckload of Trouble"

[edwardmartel]

Just to watch her

Just to watch her falling down

I can't see her again

I just can't see her again

I've got to see her again

I've got to see her again

[gigi46]

I saw him yesterday, such a wonderful guy!

[kazu25fat]

懐かしい。。

青春やなあ。。

[bassik123]

i got up for a bit with the pastels and the songs sounds a lot slower. which album has this version

[sgtloubucicmen]

YEAH RIGHT! I LOVE THIS VERSION and i have the slower one on the cd

[tony2566]

I first heard this song back in 1988. And I still love it.

[miryallerdyce]

[edwould8]

[satelitejameson]

[floryboonda]

Provokatie, thanks-I was in high school when I use to request this by telephone at my friendly neighborhood college radio station-couldn't get enough of that foreign moody stuff in sunny Cali.

[Metalguitar10]

He's gorgous! Could take my eyes off him!

Love this song! What has music come to these days!

[PhilJamesTaylor]

i'm a straight guy and if he were a girl i'd fuck him.

[Melvins82]

At the end of the song you can see Frances and Eugene kissing each other.. wow both bands amazing. by the ways the vaselines they going to show up at this month to play here in toronto ill be the for sure.

[jamierourketen]

[pincmin]

[Louiseskybunker]

oh Lordof the Things, dreamy Heaven again n again .........melt....prrrrr

[kbeathappening]

She comes walking down the road

And I know that dogs won't bark

She comes walking up the stairs

She's tap-tap-tapping on my door

And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must

But I go blind and my mouth fills up with dust

Says she's open like a book

She's got everything I need

Even wants to take the time

To teach me how to read

[PhilJamesTaylor]

the sound quality is far worse on the video than on the album which is a shame.

but still, very good. you can see where graham coxon got his inspiration...

[eaty0urspac3sh1p]

Such a jewel!

[ElmoToxi33]

Thx, esesmuvajprats! :)

[ElmoToxi33]

Please, I need the lyrics, anyone can help me? Not in Google, :S.

[EsEsmuVajprats]

You can find them in SongMeanings.

[indiegirl111]

wow - now this takes me back! good call paul!

[gigi46]

You say it, Talktal 'cause he had an anorak in this video! haha

[suedehead28]

just to watch her

[talktal]

so that's why they call it anarack pop

[gigi46]

This version of this song is better than the first! You can find it on Truckload of Trouble.

[saltywine]

Hey just got their first album today..but this version is faster to the one on my album...why??

[suedehead28]

One top top tune, love it...great sound

[jamierourketen]

[tupelooo]

[AloneInNewPollution]

I love it so much.!

[willyj51]

Top ten indie song. Heard it about 35 times so far yet its mysteries continue to reveal upon new listenings.

[Muribelle]

Oh cheers, that explains it (about the two versions I mean). Love this song.

[54spiritedwill54]

I love this song, I love the Pastels, I love this video. Thanks.

[likeastoolpigeon]

so what,christ i glad this band never jumped on the nonsense grunge bandwagon that some brit bands did.

[JosephOD]

They were one of Kurt Cobains favorite bands.

[imacunt68]

fucking wank

[theface79]

Anyone any idea where the video was filmed?

Is it Glasgow? Or is it der Eiserne Steg in Frankfurt am Main?

[imacunt68]

the face is a cunt...

he thinks he is sting from quadraphenia.....

jimmy,,,fucking jimmmy....

we are the mods,,,, we are the mods,,,, we are the we are the we are the mods....i hear you are good in alley ways the face

[shadrac72]

you're a dick. stephen pastel is a nice bloke. oh aye, and sort out yer spelling - it's 'quadrophenia'. ya fanny.

[imacunt68]

ha ha ha, im dyslexic you dick ed

[shadrac72]

nah mate, yer just fuckin' thick.

[6106284]

it was filmed on a bridge over the clyde in glasgow next to the main railway bridge from glasgow central station in galsgows city centre. the inside parts were filmed in the tenement hallway of otago street in glasgow in the block where brian superstar (the guitarist) lived which is also where the album insert to sitting pretty was photographed

[Covox]

Gosh, this is love.

[Muribelle]

I like this version of the song better than the one on the album 'Up for a bit with the pastels'. On the album its much slower. Anyone any idea why this is?

[testcardboy]

This is the single version which can be found on the Truckload Of Trouble compilation (the best Pastels record money can buy).

[6106284]

two versions were recorded at the same studio session and the band liked both so used one for the single version (above) and released the other on the album a few months later

[vicoland]

kOOL sONG!!....I think they were a very very lost band from the 80's indie movement. They sounds like:

Galaxie 500 + The jesus and mary chain.

[jeremyshambles]

the Pastels are amazing, brilliant song

[IvanOsgood]

I saw Stephen in a Glasgow shop a few years ago.He was purchasing...soup.

[vitalidadd]

pass me the lyrics of this song please

[fairgroundfun]

Great stuff! Lucky enough, to have a copy of the Shelter video, from when it came out!

[sweettalulah]

I have a friend (Not actually a friend, we're too shy for that. More like we should be friends) Who reminds me of Stephen. Very cute boys, they are.

(Sorry if this shows up twice)

[sweettalulah]

I have a friend, [Not actually a friend, we're too shy for that. More like we would like to be friends] Who reminds me of Stephen. Very cute boys, they are.

[mell22]

Never take this video down. x

[willyj51]

I bow to the beauty of this song.

[tony2566]

I first saw this video back in FEB 1988 on the USA network. Great song! Thanks for posting it.

[trailortrashredneck]

I'm Sure The Pastels (from Glasgow) helped The VASELINES (from edinburgh) with their First Recording Studio Experience if not they are definetly connected in some way.

The Best Two Scottish Bands EVER!!!

[6106284]

they are best friends! the vaselines first few records were released on 53rd & 3rd - stephen pastels record label. the video above is starring francis and eugene from the vaselines just when they got together. also stephen produced the vasleines first few records and eugene was also in the astels for about a year although all throgh the late 80s they always played gigs together and mixed band members

[trailortrashredneck]

Cool Song

(Is This Song On the Pastels "Truck load Of Trouble" Album???)

[afcpreppy]

lovely!!

[gigi46]

Love, love love

[CommedesFilles]

beautiful.

[enricomolteni]

I love this song, I love the Pastels, I love this video. Thanks.

[rolandsausage]

Ah The Pastles - love 'em to bits and play them often. Aye, whit a band.

[valcot]

Fantastic - first found the Pastels back in 1987 and loved this song then - has brought back very good memories!

[gloomtown]

One of the best pop songs I've ever heard. Beautiful.

[BethArzy]

So great... Makes me sad that no one makes music this perfect anymore. Not to mention Stephen Pastel is beautiful!!!

[HombreDeLasPraderas]

Thank you

[timothyahall]

This song is one of my favourites. Never imagined that they made a video for it. Sexcellent!

[romaltbakker]

great song! thanks for posting this, it's probably very rare
