THE STRANGLERS - MIDNIGHT SUMMER DREAM

[terrypussypower]

I played my video of this so much the tape eventually fell apart at the seams !

[madasahatter234]

A deep but lightly intellectual muse into music - at it's best - just open your curtains (at night) - when sober and just ENJOY this track, it's a cracker, music and lyricks just blend giving you a dream like state of euphoria - when the ships "sailed into the night".........WOW.........A1+­++++

[feline1973]

I love the way JJ thought this song wasn't macho enough, so he had to take his top off to 'beef it up' lol

[steevenD]

Song sucks without Hugh's voice...

[CottferLAD22]

Keyboards on harpischord and echo !! Superb.

[contact592]

The old man story - it is of my grandfather, old man, taught me about the beauty and ugliness, of this place and then faded away, or not

[johnrfc1972]

vgv

[rudydynxx]

got this on betamax video,,,still fuckin superb,,he could,nt sleep a wink.aw fuk it ,,,its the stranglers.

[WAWELDRAGON]

imagine this without the keyboard, it would never work. 

[contact592]

This whole thing plays my grandfather who is 98 yo. It is all about him.

[ericberner]

The Stranglers seem more unique to me, day by day.

[secondhanddaylight]

I like the bass solo at the end (-_-)

[pmam1968]

When I was 18 I bought Feline, took it home, and put it on my turntable. I then smoked 4 Dunhill Special Filters, lay on my bed and watched the ceiling spinning around whilst it was playing - magic! (Kids, don't try this at home.)

[WAWELDRAGON]

I hadnt got channel 4 at home. I knew this was going to be on. I rang an aerial erector in my home town and asked if I could hire one... Yes I was that in to the stranglers. He said no need just come round here and watch the programme. he had teenage kids and I was wel comed to the house. How surreal... just like so much of the stranglers material. Very kind too, As for Feline, it was an album I didnt much klike, a was a bit languid.

[SAINTPAULPAUL]

A few things I've noticed about these vintage vids...for all the drugs Hugh and company were doing, they never made asses of themselves like most American icons (Doors, Dylan, etc, etc). and they had STYLE..check out Hugh"s head shake (not to mention guitar ability) and JJ's bass thumping...Miss the originality!

[katoness]

One or two good songs on Feline. But overall a disapointment.

[koyemakosako]

Good old Burnel & Cornwell )-:

[heybaby1967]

so many memories (souvenirs) from this song. so many times the bar closed on this song. thanks for posting it.

***Merci. quelle belle chanson qui me rappelle plein de souvenirs de mes fins de soirées dans mon bar favori à Nicolet (Quebec Canada).***

[geobiotex]

j.j. burnel is behind every song of these guys. he is the mindguy.

i do not say that cornwell is not good.

anyway.

this is a historical song.

[Mariekesone]

Fantastic melody and Lyrics:-)

[balihew]

Stranglers without Hugh is a non sense!

[rubencon]

"My amps on fire"

Woke up on a good day, and the world was wonderful.

Bring back Hugh!!!!

[melancholy1rose]

What I always loved about The Stranglers was the way they were so experimental and not afraid to try anything new! This was ahead of its time for the 80's! Saw them live and they were brilliant! They were at their best with Hugh as singer!

[mariannora]

che tenerezza

[coldflames314]

this is a good song because it shows their deeper more focused on the melody sound

[purpleoc]

Hypnotic and deep in meaning, this song encapulsates feelings and moods of longing that transcend the period of the Stranglers influence on the music scene. A great timeless classic!

[tedrossi2121]

Apisteuto kommati....apla apisteuto.So great,one of the best songs ever

[TheGlers]

although nearly 30 years ago,I still recall this vid and the best bit was at the end jj s solo,the best bit is missing from the end of the clip anybody got a full clip

[daltraparte]

I love this song.

[hanging1v]

GREAT GROUP POOR SONG S1V

[fartmeister01]

It's a matter of opinion, I have heard much worse so called music....

[adrianomozzo]

Great song! Great Group!

[hanging1v]

SHIT SONG. NOT ONE OF MY FAVOURITES

[Polyphemus]

Not exactly an aesthete,are you? This is their singular BEST song!!!

[treefig33]

We would have guessed it wasn't one of your favourites.

[capehorn1974]

man i'm already there

[grazinblack]

Great memories - remember waiting for The Tube coming on that night.

The Stranglers didn't disappoint.

[accidentcauser]

What a great song, that entire Feline album was fantastic!

[mycheezyhelm]

nice sprechgesang from hugh there

[BobbyFisherPrice]

the best version i ever hear !!!

[eirinifeelsgood]

this is the best song of straglers

[BlakeAustin]

1st time to see them. Great performance.

[bikesi]

still one of the best bands in the world- such a diverse catalogue of songs.

[BlueSkyAtMidnight]

You can really hear and feel a continental atmosphere in this track. Stranglers rock in so many ways.

[infidel9999]

does anyone know where i can get "aural sculpture manifesto"?

[r8ltl]

whats that

[roky616]

it's on the remastered version of Feline

[DilLspitZen]

IT's got ME buyin FELINE again

[Monton85]

I find your ocvers very useful dragon. I played tank, straighten out, nuclear device, and no more heros. Easy songs.

[WAWELDRAGON]

It WAS the Tube. Yes, and at my parents home we couldnt get channel 5 but an aerial contractor let me watch this at HIS HOUSE ! Someone I never previously met. I asked him if I could hire an aerial but he said no need, just come here to watch it. Oh the extent to which us Stranglers fans would go to!

[howlsfish]

very good

[leonspirit]

BEST SONG EVER

[frunkensteen]

super smashing great

[JOKAMAJA]

Amazing band...From the Jazz influenced drummer/percussionist - Jet Black...To the Classically trained guitarist/bassist J.J. Burnel....to Dave Greenfield the most underrated band member of them all...to WHO????.Hugh?

Hugh Cornwell the guy with the crystal sparkling mind and bright concepts who pioneered this band and also let a lot of fans down!...

P.S. - We know how good you are...now give us one more tour! - Lots of love, JOKAMAJA!

[armalyte]

this looks liek its off THE TUBE

[AK2927]

This performance segues brilliantly into European Female. Pity this clip cuts off at the end of MND.

[slawciowo]

this is for the romantic night

[paddytaggart]

Yeah! some decent smoke ahhhhh...

[sevygolf31]

get a chick,a bottle of vino, soom decent smoke, put on the stranglers "feline" album and you will get laid!!!

[profiterol3]

fantastic melody!!!

[kendall2k7buzzin]

could someone tell me the notes to the keyboard of midnight summer dream. in return i'll tell you how to play a stranglers song

[krobertson72]

cool song and love the way Hugh speaks the words rather than sings them...

[Deathtomangateens]

he does sing the line 'woke up in an armchair,....'

[NECROMANCER08]

they are the new Beatles man

[Shawbag]

Not on dial-up apparently. Oh well...

[michaelstmark]

Spiritual. Can you dig it?

[gpappas44]

fantastic and beautiful
