Thank you so much for putting this vid on here. My favourite band ever. I love how Jemaur doesn't seem to know what's going on throughout the entire video! Oh yes, and more bassoons in pop music please. Ricardo loves a good hard bassoon.
-
Bice. Thx.
-
The reference is to Ophelia in Hamlet as depicted in a Pre-Raphaelite painting but there is also a P-R painting of Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot who likewise drowns herself. Great fun those late Victorians.
I just read that the box-set is coming out very soon or may be out already. thank you for posting this video. have been looking for the video and song for years.
-
haha totally agree....the world needs more bassoon
-
I strongly recommend that fans of this band check out Camera Obscura from Glasgow. Fucking excellent.
-
There's not enough bassoon in todays music!
-
saw them at Fiddler's Green in Denver w/ Love and Rockets, The Pixies and the Cure (circa '89)
-
I believe the video images are a reference to a Pre-Raphaelie painting of Ophelia, from Hamlet. At least her floating in the water surrounded by flowers. haven't heard this song in years.
-
Her singing in the water surrounded by flowers is an homage to the painting "The Lady of Challote" (sp?).
They were ethereal and fantastic, and just at the right time too. :-) Ya don't hear music like this much anymore.

This song and 'Jeremiah' will forever remind me of following The Cure on the Prayer Tour when SO were supporting. Wonderful.

A new CD is awesome news!
A box-set of remastered "oldies" would be GOLD! I carried around a musty old CS copy of "Helleborine" for what must have been years before I finally found it on CD.
As someone else said..underrated band. Criminally underrated.
