One of the few bands from my youth that never sold out. Much respect to Butch, Steve, Shirley and Duke for making real music. This deserves a million PLUS views!
What is funny on this comment is I have seen enough of their latest interviews (set to promote this album) that when I read Butch I read it on Shirley's voice on my mind and from there on, all the rest of the message is on her voice. Fuck I LOVE her accent.
Probably the perfect Garbage ballad - Dark atmosphere, charming melody, achingly sad lyrics, slow-burning pace, stunning and moving vocal work, all leading to a crescendo of sonic bliss and a maelstrom of melancholia.
Tears flowing as I reminisce. It’s true as you age the same song will form new meaning and you discover that deeper meaning only as you age. Been a fan of Garbage since the beginning and they were there during my teens, 20s, 30s and today. So much thought, emotions, melody, lyrics to create this honest masterpiece. I so very much miss this music. The video is an absolutely perfect choice.
a garbage ballad always shows how versatile this band is, they take you o the darkest edges of your soul and shirleys voice is always spot on. just blown away as usual. dark...edgy and strangely beautiful. just how i like my Garbage
I never thought I would love a Garbage ballad more than You Look So Fine, but they they nailed it out of the park on this one. Gets me in the feels every time I hear it.
This is a incredible song!!! Hearing Garbage play it in concert I can't explain it it just goes through your core! Garbage is a legendary band every time I see them it's completely different then the last time. Shirley and the boys may be getting older but they just get better!!! ❤
I was at their show in Ljubljana, Slovenia this tuesday. Shirley said this song was the essence of their new album. And they performed it with such affection that it seemed as though the song was here for years. If this were the 90s this song woud've been a hit. In this day and age only Garbage fans will feel genuinely moved by this wonderful song.
I tend to play this song for a lot of my friends who I know hadn't heard it before. What's really fascinating is the looks on people's faces when it's playing. They stop and actually listen. I've played this for friends who don't even like Garbage, but this song does something to people; it stops them in their tracks. You just can't go wrong when a song does that to people. I remember when I first heard it; I just knew I'd love it forever.
@@AustinTXSlasher this bass line around which the whole song revolves, kills it from the start. Add Shirley's voice, those perfectly doomed lyrics, the building of the rhythm adding more and more and more.. When this album was released this was the one song I immediately loved as a great Garbage track, period. Not "for nowadays, compared to mainstream bs.." just in itself a masterpiece.. I of course still feel the same way right now
I love you, Garbage 🖤 You're always in my heart. Favorite band for many years. Love you Shirley, your essence, your defiance, your warmth... You are able to bridge us all strange little birds into this world 🐦
I think this isn't just my favorite song on the album. It's become a favorite song of mine in life -- along with others, of course. Sometimes, if this song is on in the background and someone is over to hear it, it stops them in their tracks and they just listen. I had a friend tear up after she heard it, and a few other friends commented that it floored them. So yeah, songs like this don't come around often. It's so beautiful in so many ways.
This song feels like Depeche Mode wrote it. That's not an insult since Garbage and Depeche Mode are two of my top three favorite bands of all time. I'd love to have Shirley and Dave Gahan do a duet together. It would be so dark and epic.
Got the chills throughout this song. Absolutely amazing. I'm speechless. Garbage at its very best. The tension! And the discomforting sense of threat and the intoxicating feel of the impending climax. Damn! Shirley's voice paralyzed me.
My new jam. I've been playing "You Look so Fine" on repeat since I discovered this band a few years ago and I haven't gotten sick of it yet. So glad I came across this group and this song! Looking forward to hitting the replay button many times on this one!

Es una buen a cancion. La voz armoniosa y profunda de Shirley es impresionante. Mi corazon espera escuchar temas mas rock. Gracias por este regalo, un bálsamo para el alma.
So, so beautiful. I was disappointed by the first single EMPTY off the new album but this song is one of the most touching and haunting songs in their entire discography. I've been listening to it on an endless loop for the past hour. Beautiful!!
Why does the supposedly more haunting songs always have to be so damn boring?! I guess I've never been much of a fan of ballads, this is cool tho but doesn't beat Empty in my opinion.
Listen to this it reminds me my previous relationship with my partner, we loved this song but we ended up breaking up the year it was released. Luckyly we could fix it and are getting ready to marry now :) . This song is so good that gets me chills everytime I heard it cause it reminds me that ugly time.
I'm not sure if I can love any song anymore after hearing this, had my doubts if anything could ever top "you look so fine"...I can't apologize enough for ever doubting you. Beautifull Garbage!
Each time I listen to this song, it really does strike a chord of my recovery from BPD. This song will always have a warm place in my heart. Thank you, Garbage - your music will never cease to be a source of comfort; I don't feel so alone. No other band can ever convey my journey. x
"Maybe I should break the connection Such strange little birds Devoured by our obsessions"... ¡¡¡Son ÚNICOS!!!... te arrastran a lo mas oscuro o brillan en sus rolas mas prendidas, pero siempre ácidos y profundos...
This is so good. The way you can hear her take a breath before each verse just kills me. Fucking awesome. And I can't stop listening to "Empty" either. Really looking forward to the album.
A brilliant song, to a strong video, from the sympathetic Shirley & your guys! Heartfelt 💚 from Germany to the U.S.A., Ireland & the whole fan community in the world! ✈️🌎
When I first heard this song- it just crushed me. Shirley does it again as she taps into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche. I most definitely connected with the lyrics as I've sought out love only to watch it fail. '...And even though our love is cruel And even though our stars are crossed You're the only thing worth fighting for You're the only thing worth dying for.. More powerful emotions cannot be conveyed as the music reaches a crescendo that breaks through the barrier we build to keep out the pain.
I think you can hear garbage evolving, musically speaking, into a more deep and soul touching band. But when you hear them live is just out of this f***ing world. This song is a strong candidate to be on my top 5 Garbage songs along with "Medication", "The trick is to keep breathing", "#1 crush", "I'm only happy when it rains" and of course "Special" and "Queer" and "Stupid Girl" and "Push it" and "Vow" and ... I think that was more than 5.. this is so hard. I cannot wait to hear the complete new album. But from this song and "Empty" I can only say "WELL DONE". You are, if not, the greatest rock band ever. You have my complete admiration and support. "Strange little birds" will be without a doubt one of my favorite albums EVER.
Es ist ein wunderbarer Kreislauf. Fressen und gefressen werden ist was ganz besonderes. Nur wenn man daran beteiligt ist und sowohl Beute wie Jäger schätzt und liebt versteht man das Leben und dessen Inhalt. Das ablehnen davon ist unnatürlich. Ein reineres geben und nehmen gibt es nicht.
I am so proud of these guys! This song is stellar! I thought they would never get back to owning it. For a while it seemed that something bigger than themselves was dragging them downward but omg this songs are great, and so far this is my favorite song from their new album! I'm so proud of my Garbage 😄😘
Been a fan since the first album, somehow this song feels so underrated. One of their best imo
yes, it is indeed underrated. I wonder how you knew that. you must be smart.

Shirley is not Beyonce, Katy Perry, Shakira, Justin sucker... The Garbage fans aren´t like their fans, we are not that kind of people
YES! THIS!
oooooh yeeeaar !! validate by france fan

Thats so wrong.... I know its an exhausting cliche but todays mainstream BIG artist music is bs

it grows and grows til the end like "happy home"
Dark and sinister - just the way I like it.
Hope this reflects the tone of the album.
You'll be pleasantly surprised.
The video is brilliant. They couldn't have chosen better approach for the song. Masterpiece.
Reminds me of Talk Talk It's My Life. RIP.
Good old Garbage! Finally!
WOW! seriously, the music during the chorus is too cool. I died and went to heaven.
one of the best Garbage songs, no doubt about it. Very touching lyrics if life is what we are discussing here
this is pure art. I'm touched and shed a tear
This song feels like Depeche Mode wrote it. That's not an insult since Garbage and Depeche Mode are two of my top three favorite bands of all time. I'd love to have Shirley and Dave Gahan do a duet together. It would be so dark and epic.
I hear it also.... it's like a mixture of my 3 favourite bands Garbage / Nine Inch Nails / Depeche Mode
I'm a depeche mode fan but not into this. I didn't dislike the vid just not my thing
Hello there, another fan of DM and Garbage here!
Yes, this is very dark like DM. This song reminds me a little of The Darkest Star, musically and atmospherically.
That would drip with darkness. Lovely.
Garbage's Heartbreaking ballads always & always sweat with truth about despair !!!! Love it ! Love THEM ♥♥♥♥
Wow, what a song!
Una de las mejores canciones de Garbage!!!!!
Opino lo mismo
I've been listening to Garbage's music for years , and can easily state this is one of their best songs ever, simply fantastic.
Shockingly beautiful song !!
This song always gives me chills, I fell in love with the whole album.
Got the chills throughout this song. Absolutely amazing. I'm speechless. Garbage at its very best. The tension! And the discomforting sense of threat and the intoxicating feel of the impending climax. Damn! Shirley's voice paralyzed me.
Staying up late with this on repeat just like I did with "Right Between The Eyes" back in 2005. It speaks to me.
Love that tough climax at the end.
My new jam. I've been playing "You Look so Fine" on repeat since I discovered this band a few years ago and I haven't gotten sick of it yet. So glad I came across this group and this song! Looking forward to hitting the replay button many times on this one!
Yeah "You look so fine" knocks you down, so powerful.
Right. I have seven of their earlier songs on repeat, myself. This one here is just as unforgettable.
Many more to check out, many years worth. Much love Shirley!!
"Even Though Our Love Is Doomed"
[Verse 1]
I'm getting desperate
Desperate for a revolution
Some kind of spark
Some kind of connection
In these dangerous days
Come a little bit closer
I need to understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Why we kill the things we love the most
Kill the things we love
Kill the things we love the most
Why we kill the things we love the most
Kill the things we love
Kill the things we love the most
But they don't burn like we do
They don't burn like we do
[Chorus]
And even though our love is doomed
And even though we're all messed up
We're still waiting for tomorrow
We're still aching for tomorrow
And even though our love is cruel
And even though our stars are crossed
You're the only thing worth fighting for
You're the only thing worth dying for
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna be dead to life
Don't wanna be dulled to extinction
Don't wanna be lost in dreams
Don't wanna be caught sleepwalking
Maybe I should break the chain
Maybe I should break the connection
Such strange little birds
Devoured by our obsessions
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you love me for what I've become
Love me for what I
Said that I would not become
Can you love me for what I've become
Love me for what I
Said that I would not become
Cause they don't burn like I do
They don't burn like I do
[Chorus]
And even though your love is cruel
And even though our stars are crossed
We're still waiting for tomorrow
We're still aching for tomorrow
And even though our love is doomed
And even though we're all messed up
You're the only thing worth fighting for
You're the only thing worth dying for
[Outro]
And even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
Even though our love is doomed
You're the only thing worth fighting for
You're the only thing worth dying for

Album STRANGE LITTLE BIRDS (2016)
They performed this live in Frankfurt yesterday. It is such a great track, great band and Shirley is adorable! Thank you guys. Had a great night!
lucky you to see it live!
"Can you love for me what I said that I would not become?" is such a chilling and raw lyric.
"can you love me for what i've become?
love me for what i said i would not become"
Wow.
Great lyrics here. Fit me this past year separated from my Fiancé Cynthia.
Ascension! Love and light!
My wife left me 4 years ago, and I can't help but thinking about her and crying when listening to this georgeous song, from my favourite band ever :'(
This song is a bijou. Thanks Garbage!
This song is great, I've been listening all day for days, and everytime it amazes me :)
Best Garbage song ever!
I found this tune very,very touching.
It is what it is
Been familiar with the band for 20 years and this may be one of their best songs to date.
I want Garbage to be popular like they was in last decade!
Es una buen a cancion. La voz armoniosa y profunda de Shirley es impresionante. Mi corazon espera escuchar temas mas rock. Gracias por este regalo, un bálsamo para el alma.
This song is so extremely beautiful and rich...love it.
So, so beautiful. I was disappointed by the first single EMPTY off the new album but this song is one of the most touching and haunting songs in their entire discography. I've been listening to it on an endless loop for the past hour. Beautiful!!
I don't feel the need to comment now! Totally agree with this.
Entirely get it as well, been a fan since 96, get you as well!
My thoughts too.
Why does the supposedly more haunting songs always have to be so damn boring?! I guess I've never been much of a fan of ballads, this is cool tho but doesn't beat Empty in my opinion.
this is too much perfection
YES
Listen to this it reminds me my previous relationship with my partner, we loved this song but we ended up breaking up the year it was released. Luckyly we could fix it and are getting ready to marry now :) . This song is so good that gets me chills everytime I heard it cause it reminds me that ugly time.
I'm not sure if I can love any song anymore after hearing this, had my doubts if anything could ever top "you look so fine"...I can't apologize enough for ever doubting you. Beautifull Garbage!
And this is what is called MUSIC!!!
All the critters why certain humans are destructive..i love the Earth and nature..
5-28-2016 - -
Shirley has a lovely voice.
One of the best lyric videos I've seen in a long time. If you've gone through some shit this song hits you hard.
I lost the most powerful love of my life when this song dropped. Haunting and painful. True as thunder. Thanks hun. (Always lost without you.)
This last album is turning out to be so dark! I just can't do else but loving it a lot.
Each time I listen to this song, it really does strike a chord of my recovery from BPD.
This song will always have a warm place in my heart. Thank you, Garbage - your music will never cease to be a source of comfort; I don't feel so alone. No other band can ever convey my journey. x
no words... that is like... like real cool awesome Garbage! falling in love for second times
Amazing song. Goosebumps. Can't wait to see the new songs live.
"Maybe I should break the connection
Such strange little birds
Devoured by our obsessions"...
¡¡¡Son ÚNICOS!!!... te arrastran a lo mas oscuro o brillan en sus rolas mas prendidas, pero siempre ácidos y profundos...
My uncle died Oct 1,2016 and he was buried next day. I came back home crying and listening to this song.
This is so good. The way you can hear her take a breath before each verse just kills me. Fucking awesome. And I can't stop listening to "Empty" either. Really looking forward to the album.
Such a morbidly beautiful song..I cry everytime I listen to it...
Wow. Just amazing.
A brilliant song, to a strong video, from the sympathetic Shirley & your guys! Heartfelt 💚 from Germany to the U.S.A., Ireland & the whole fan community in the world! ✈️🌎
Heared it live yesterday... so powerful I could just close my eyes and feel it
We're still waiting for tomorrow.
The best song I've heard so far this year.
Breathtaking.
When I first heard this song- it just crushed me. Shirley does it again as she taps into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche. I most definitely connected with the lyrics as I've sought out love only to watch it fail. '...And even though our love is cruel

You're the only thing worth dying for.. More powerful emotions cannot be conveyed as the music reaches a crescendo that breaks through the barrier we build to keep out the pain.
Beautiful song !!! So honest, so deep, Garbage is back
I think you can hear garbage evolving, musically speaking, into a more deep and soul touching band. But when you hear them live is just out of this f***ing world. This song is a strong candidate to be on my top 5 Garbage songs along with "Medication", "The trick is to keep breathing", "#1 crush", "I'm only happy when it rains" and of course "Special" and "Queer" and "Stupid Girl" and "Push it" and "Vow" and ... I think that was more than 5.. this is so hard.

You have good taste. Many of those songs are my favs as well.
Thanks man! When it comes to garbage good taste is implied. ;)
just can't stop listening to this masterpiece
That outro goes hard
Still relevant in 2021. This song will never die.
Brilliant. Loved it.👍💙
love this song

It's like some wonderful hybrid of "The Trick Is To Keep Breathing" and "Cup of Coffee", two of my absolute favourites from them!
Wow! What a great song! ♪ Love it!
OMG i love this song. Empty was good enough, but this is perfect.
This song is really growing on me now,I’m getting that tingle down my spine.
Finally a lyric video from my fav band!!!
The best song of this album. Love it.
incredible! both songs are shaping one of their best albums yet!
this track was one of my favourite heard live.... the ending part kept me breathless
I am so proud of these guys! This song is stellar! I thought they would never get back to owning it. For a while it seemed that something bigger than themselves was dragging them downward but omg this songs are great, and so far this is my favorite song from their new album! I'm so proud of my Garbage 😄😘

Very good, guys, can't wait for the new album.

Profound video. Thanks to all four of them for the new music. I love every track of "Strange Little Birds."

Amazingly glorious track. must adore these guys.
