A lot of people tried to slag them off as a Sisters of Mercy clone, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Back in the late '80s when I was a teenager and into "goth" Fields were the ONLY band that sounded like and had vocals like this. Sadly, the classic Fields line-up didn't stay together and there are almost no similar acts out there, not ones that even come close.
I've been into Fields since 1988. I always missed them when they played the US, and now I'll never see them here :( FOTN haven't been back to the US since 1990.
That makes me really fvcking jealous. I also don't know how I only just discovered them a few years back, considering my favorite bands for a decade were all goth-rock/darkwave bands from this era.
I'm so happy people still listen to this, and for making these ancient gems accessible to a public who would otherwise probably never have heard of this.
Aah, the narrow minded 'nme'; only interested in trends not music, there just arn't enough swear words to express what I feel about the nme & it's anti-music, all-poseur attitude. Was only Sounds that was fair as a music paper, & of course that folded while nme & MelodyMaker slithered on..

I can't believe I've never heard of these guys. I only took an interest because I was curious about the singer since he was in the movie "Hardware" and I liked his look.
@@thirdstrike4u so? if anything, you should be happy that a new fan for a rather obscure band has been made. as supposed to...ya know, complaining about how they obviously are not on your level as they just discovered the band? Is that seriously your argument? ya, ok then...
@@Robcatist I was a fan in 1988, but because of school or something else which kept me from seeing them live, I never got to. I'm pissed I missed them when they played here with the classic line-up because it doesn't look like they'll ever come back to the US. It has been over 30 years now and Carl barely gets to Europe, much less the western hemisphere.
Brilliant musicians. Looking back I'm glad I finally left the spells/magic mindset behind - Stop trying to control others, instead control yourself - Find acceptance, love, assertiveness - from the chest!
I'm so glad that I discovered this epic band from the middle 80's, unique in their style. I feel bad that the music from my era (2000) isn't into this kind of music.
whoever came up with the ideas for this video and directed it, all the people who put it together, should win some kind of award, this is a crazy, imaginative, silly work of art! esp the crucified angel? holding up the drums - genius!
Because of the opening scene of McCoy hanging I thought it was the sequel to the "Preacher Man" video. Great vídeo and excellent song, mystical and enigmatic. Authentic dark dusty gothic.
I believe it’s actually the case. In the beginning, we see flashes showing people that look like the mob in the Preacher Man video. This one just shows him in Hell or Purgatory after his execution in the final sequence of the previous video. And he breaks out of his grave, wearing the same strange glove and being adored by the same crowd at the end.
I never saw them play live at least 9 billion times back in the 50's before they were even a band. One of the best bands I've never seen. I mean wow. I mean gees. I mean golly gee willickers.
Really, you know Bryan Ferry? Which song is that on. I find the Nephilium to be very unique. I know Bryan Ferry, the Sisters of Mercy and the Nephilium. Really well. So I really don't know what you are talking about. You really sound like a squeaking rubber ducky all right.
Richard Stanley directed this vid and Preacher Man and also put him in the movie Hardware and although I dabble in the Goth scene, following Stanley got me interested in Fields Of The Nephilim =D
This band is ao damn good! Sadly for me I didn't really get into them until more recently. But man they have so many great albums/songs \,,/, There are a few bands today who also rock like this Idle Hands, Rope Sect and a couple more.

Back in the eighties we were children, teenagers or young people, now in this XXI century we are parents and with sons or daughters. Did you teach your son or daughter this kind of music?
1:16. I remember, back in the early 90's, drawing parallels between Carl Mc Coy in that video and Bob, the character from David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Very, very strange similarities. In that video, Carl seems to be in limbo ( sorts of ) and then is escaping from it. Very dark, mysterious and hypnotising.
Was sent this link by a friend, who gave me the nickname, 'Blue', years ago. He told me this may give me an idea why... I thought it was sweet, so, opened the link... and the first scene is someone hanging! Hahahaha. Not laughing at that... as such, but, funny enough, sums up how I feel right now.... I'm hoping there's something else here relating to me. 🤣🤣
Such a real shame they are not making anymore songs nor performing either. I recently heard they have disbanded. :-( Their music & rare videos will become EXTREMELY RARE (if not already). :O
This song is fantastic!! Im here everyday!

Yes sisters had a more pop rock style. Nephilim are a band I regularly spin still after discovering them around 1988
Id say mourning sun has Tool style guitar riff influences.
I recommend NFD, especially their early stuff and live album
Merciful Nuns have a somewhat similar feel, you might enjoy them!
Possibly the greatest spaghetti metal band ever
It's the 26th of August, the year is 2024... and this is still as awesome as it's ever been!
I saw them live three times between 1987 and 1990. One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
Great live band! Saw them three times during the same period!
I've been into Fields since 1988. I always missed them when they played the US, and now I'll never see them here :( FOTN haven't been back to the US since 1990.
I don't doubt it, but there are a lot of great bands out there... I guess I have to go watch some of their live stuff?
That makes me really fvcking jealous. I also don't know how I only just discovered them a few years back, considering my favorite bands for a decade were all goth-rock/darkwave bands from this era.
@@NobodyCaresALot They strike me as the kind of band that would probably sound great live.
I'm so happy people still listen to this, and for making these ancient gems accessible to a public who would otherwise probably never have heard of this.
Never mind still listening, I'm only really getting into them. Loved this kind of stuff forever but just never gave them a proper listen till now.
O live for this
"ancient gems" LOL. I was listening to these guys in 1988... way to make me feel like an old fart.
Criminally underrated and ridiculed by a lot of press back in the day. Still sounds great to me 🖤

Can we take a minute to appreciate the beauty of Carl McCoy 😅😘
A rare kind, aye!
Literally the hottest guy to grace the earth imo.
Oui la beauté merveilleuse des oeuvres de Carl MCCoy 👍 ⭐ ⭐
❤ 😂 - - 🎉 - - 😊 ❤
Super excellent chanteur Carl MCCoy 👍 ⭐ ⭐ j'adore son style gothique 🌙
31 years on and it still makes me tingle all over ...
Me too! I discovered this album in 1988 and I still get goosebumps when I listen to it.
2023, and still listening - Happy Birthday, Carl McCoy
God damn. The bass riffs in the 80's era goth rock bands are freaking awesome. They influenced 80's Spanish (from Spain) rock bands so much.
Nephilim were the kings of gothic bass
Heroes del silencio anyone ;-)
Agreed! bassline in Moonchild is awesome
throw me some recommendations for Spanish rock bands please
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music La Union, Heroes Del Silenco are two off the top of my head.
Best cooking programme ever!

LYRICS :
Just move back stepping outside yourself
Feel I'm falling upwards looking at hell
Sea green, if you know what I mean?
Please unleash this animal inside
Out of my mind
Well it's the perspiration, it's draining my head
Perspiration is draining my head
Perspiration is draining my head
Perspiration is draining my head
Blue angel
When this night falls
It's substance, it dawns
In this night form
The constant pain, the constant pain
Bluewater
Blue Blue, I'm praying for you
Get out the electrostatic hotwire
I've got a drain on you
Well it's the perspiration, it's draining my head
Perspiration is draining my head
Perspiration is draining my head
Perspiration is draining my head
Blue angel
In this night form
It's substance, it dawns
We feed at nightfall
Blue angel
This stillness night form
Minion
Come down
Minion

Many thanks for posting the lyrics to this GREAT SONG from the ALMIGHTY!!! THE FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM
Thanx for the Lyrics to this awonderful song !
I can't believe I've never heard of these guys. I only took an interest because I was curious about the singer since he was in the movie "Hardware" and I liked his look.
the director of Hardware actually shot this music video as well as the one for Preacher man.
Love that movie. Always thought it was cool, Carl had the cameo!
Took you this long.

@@ambassadortothenetherworld9433 your the one complaining lol.🤦♂️
And I'm back in time 30 years!!!! such a good live band
They were!!! Saw them in the 80’s my god I was deaf and coughing for 2 days afterwards cause of all the dry ice 😂

Very important band
Brilliant musicians.

Loved them since I was a teenager x
Ich liebe dieses Lied. Egal wie alt es ist.
Unglaublich. 🥰
I have all of the singles on vinyl.
Good old times...
I am trying to collect all of them, but some items are so difficult and expensives.
Since 30 years! Always and forever......Carl McCoy.....his music,his Lyrics ,his voice....and his face......
Great! Preacher Man video ands, and this one starts like a second part of that.
I'm so glad that I discovered this epic band from the middle 80's, unique in their style. I feel bad that the music from my era (2000) isn't into this kind of music.
Have you seen Son Sombre?
@@te9591 : An East Coast U.S band that I wish would tour out west.
epic song
I am in love with Carl McCoy
This was the very first FOTN song I ever heard and I've loved them ever since. Love this video as well!
Unique sounding band, loved the goth rock bands that were gigging in small venues around London in the late 80's
Carl McCoy is a beautiful man. I can't keep my eyes off him. Thank You for posting.
Many Irish people are very attractive. 😉
@The Hanging Garden Does McCoy sound English or Irish?
Raven Knight you look good
@The Hanging Garden He lives in Ashwell, near Royston, so is still in Hertfordshire. He's a nice guy, actually, and extremely intelligent.
He has the most beautiful eyes 🖤
(This is the first time I’ve seen him without his signature hat)
"When this night falls" points at the sky and it's clearly noon.
Yeah, but he doesn't exactly look like he has much of a grip on reality at the point at which he does that :)
@Choco Doco wow, Mr Literal.
24 hours a day he thinks its night.
5 seconds and I'm already sold... Love this Gothic band. 😁
whoever came up with the ideas for this video and directed it, all the people who put it together, should win some kind of award, this is a crazy, imaginative, silly work of art! esp the crucified angel? holding up the drums - genius!
It's Richard Stanley (Hardware, Colour Out Of Space)
@@chingochango5918 awesome! great to know, thanks!
Probably the most badass song ever
I can't get enough of this at the moment. It's a great song, the vid is perfect
Me encantan los vídeos de esta banda. Te llevan a los 80, a ese cine fantástico y de terror. Gran grupo, me encantan todos sus discos.
Fantastic music
my perfect band! love everything about them!
Aysgarth Falls there at the end. Lovely spot.
That's classic and will always be so uplifting
There's a lane in my town called Blue Waters... for the past 14years.. ive nicked the lane sign!! Ive 9 of them displayed in my flat.

Yep. Good shout...

Oh, and the Mission and the Cult.
Ingrid Naraine B side of the 12” Blue Water vinyl (1988). Go f*ck yourself Ingrid and come back when you have some manners.
Indeed
Essa banda não teve o reconhecimento merecido!

I CAN'T SAY MUCH about THE FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM. EXCEPT. FCKN AWESOME!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏
*Great Band!!!*
Beautiful song and video.
Such an amazing band, saw them live in 2018 and they were excellent 🖤
This definitely takes me back...👍👍
I hope they release a good quality recording of one of the 1989 live concerts one day. Preferably the Brixton Academy gig in June, 1989.

Bath night with the Fields Of The Heffalump!
Just out of shot - a rubber duck in the water filled oil drum bobbing about next to Carl.
Pure art 🖤
Excellent 👍 j'ai tout les clip avec le concert " visionary heads " le meilleur de Fields of the NEPHILIM 🌾 " Forever Remain " 👍🌙
Nephilim forever for me🖤
the last minute of this song is the best part!
Amazing live band.
They were added to a festival I'm going to in June. I only got into them last year so it's gonna be cool!
There will never be anyone like them
Move back, step outside yourself

An art school project in overdrive!
apparently you clipped the unneccessary part and improved both audio and video quality. the final output is amazing! thanks!
1:12 great Eddie Quist impression😁
Great song too.
Brilliant
They sing like in the ritual
if you saw them live in their prime you never forgot one gig in Bristol there stood a fully robed monk reading from a huge leather bound bible
Brilliant video! This one got me interested in FotN ever since I saw it on a public access show back in 1991.
Brilliant, i Iike it so much.Greetings from Herne Germany
Glad you like it!
Love the Gollum dance movements
This was completely different from what I listened to in the late 80's. But I loved, and still love it.
Temazo. Un estupendo trabajo, una joya.
Back in the eighties we were children, teenagers or young people, now in this XXI century we are parents and with sons or daughters. Did you teach your son or daughter this kind of music?

They are touring again , limited . UK only december , doing The Nephilim album in full .
THE NEPHILIM ... so fuckin' epic and mystic , forever and ever !!!
finally true class on youtube!
This is one of the most meaningful music videos in pop music history imho... :)
Maravillosa guitarra especialmente desde el minuto 1 en adelante.
those waterfalls and river bed at the end...beautiful.
I think someone commented it was Spain.
like post-punk/gothic rock!

33 years later and i find this a funny video.
I remember when this came out we couldn't believe McCoy actually had a kind of mullet under his hat.
LMAO
Yes
Shamanic initiation, to my eyes at least. There's a lot in this video!
Nephilim Forever...........
This dudes the real McCoy
brilliant!!!Thanx
Such a pity the very beginning of the video is missing now.
Epic!
best in the world
here because this one is going in the Halloween playlist tonight.
Cowboy goth rock 🤘🏼🤠
Not cowboy, spaghetti-western desperados. Watch Sergio Leone westerns with Eastwood and Van Cleef.
life and the universe It's self!!!
Pleasure. X
Anyone here who would like to see a crossover western-zombie-occult movie starring the Nephs and Clint Eastwood?
Have you seen Ghost Town film
A quiet Tuesday evening for Carl McCoy
They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
♥
Such a real shame they are not making anymore songs nor performing either. I recently heard they have disbanded. :-( Their music & rare videos will become EXTREMELY RARE (if not already). :O
they are still playing Europe and the UK .
Yah, but they never play the states... not like anyone here knows about them except for a few faithful elder goths in each city 😜
