Great song. I've got the Beauty & Sadness ep from around 1988 somewhere. Heard it first as a live version on a bside of a single off the 1st lp (can't remember which track I'm afraid).
-
The drumming sounds like that of "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles & "Joe Public" by the Rutles. I like this band, unfortunately it took me 25 years to discover them!

thanks 4 posting! One of the best bands from the 80's! One of my top 5 favorites from them, the others being "strangers when we meet", "behind the wall of sleep", "blood & roses", "crazy mixed-up kid", & "house we used to live in". Something about this band that strikes a chord with me & very few bands from an era of great music & talent can do so. Their sound has a unique deepness that just speaks to me and their lyrics make me stop, think, and listen. As a group, the band had chemistry!

A friend and I were just discussing our favorite Beatles Album (Revolver) and the best song from it (Tomorrow Never Knows) when I remembered Dennis mentioning on the liner notes that he "borrowed" the drum riff from that song for this one. Thx for posting!

Maybe Id seen your face, a long long time ago
Maybe Ive kissed your lips, baby I just dont know
The minute I start my day, the moment I open my eyes
The second I think of your face, the minute that I start to cry
Maybe youll never belong to me, baby Im wondering why
Beauty and sadness, beauty and sadness

Teardrops behind your mask, its as fragile as porcelain
A beauty that could not last, a lover Id never been
Whenever I see your face, traces of tears you cry
I think of the love you lost, I suffered, inside you died
Maybe youll never belong to me, baby Im wondering why
Beauty and sadness, beauty and sadness

Thanks! I've been looking for this one. I lived across the street from Jim Babjak's record store when I was in college. He's a cool, regular guy.

You are welcome! I wanted to put one of their lesser known songs in a video. By the way do you anything about Mike Mesaros, and why he left the band? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Great tune. One of my favorite bands. Saw these guys this summer - Loved the show. THIS is Rock 'n Roll! Thanks again NC.

You are welcome! The Smithereens bring back some great memories for me back in college in the late 1980's. Nobody else had a video for this song posted so I decided to do one. I am quite glad that you like it!
