Years ago, a girl I was dating was killed in a car accident. One night soon there after, I was listening to the local alternative radio station. I thought it fitting to call and request a song for her. I got through, but the DJ didn't have the song I wanted. However, he said he had a good song in mind. He played this song.
A good friend introduced me to this band back in the 80's. Great band. The friend's demons overtook him and is no longer with us...RIP Chris, you are are not forgotten mate.
_"...Like the Velvet Underground, their most obvious influence, the chart success of the Jesus and Mary Chain was virtually nonexistent, but _*_their artistic impact was incalculable_*_; quite simply, the Scottish group made the world safe for white noise, orchestrating a sound dense in squalling feedback which served as an inspiration to everyone from My Bloody Valentine to Dinosaur Jr."_ *I totally agree*.
This is still one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, from one of the best debut albums ever. That sound was so ahead of its time yet so timeless. Just amazing.
As a huge JAMC fan (and I'm even from East Kilbride!) I agree it's amazing, but TBH wasn't really ahead of it's time. It's basically a combination of Phil Spector-type songs with Velvet Underground approach to sound. Both were from the 60s!

I first heard this song at the end of lost in translation. I've never been floored by a song as much as I was by this, the bittersweet finality of it made me feel a way I had never felt before. The combination of mankind's greatest inventions, music and cinema. 28 when I saw it the first time, 45 now my how fast the years pass.
Never too late to hear a great song. I loved their music from the beginning, but know pretty much nothing about the band. I like it that way, their music is pure and unadulterated by persona. Still love it after 37 years, and as good as the day it was minted.
That’s how I found them also. My favourite movie. I was very happy to be able to take my 22yo to see them a couple of years ago. I know exactly what you mean
@@katewebb9006 my fave movie too. I try not to watch it too much as I don't want to lose that magic I felt when I first saw it. I can't believe the first time I heard this was at the end of the film, especially as I grew up in the 80s!
Hearing this for the first time because I’m looking for a concert to go to with my daughter and this is the only band I’ve heardnof that’s playing nearby
Sanat Kunwar The movie has a great impresonal atmosphere which perfectly captures the feeling of being an outsider. It also contrasts two different moments in your life where you feel kind of losts. The two main characters complement each other because both of them are lost in different ways due to their age difference. It kinda really shows a certain part of life in quite a realistic way to be honest. No major romance developed between the two main characters and their story ends when Murray's character leaves the hotel to go back home.
Ghost_Hands 'Lost in Translation' was worse than shite, it was pretentious shite that wanted to pass as clever stuff, but still pulled all the strings to please the audience of posers to which it was aimed (e.g.making stupid jokes on the height of Japanese people). Momus wrote a very good review destroying the movie, and concluding: "[Sofia Coppola] is a hip, privileged Hollywood insider selling out her own values in an attempt to placate the mainstream. And yet I feel that she is realising, with this film, that those values were only temporarily her world. It's the 'lesbian until graduation' syndrome, and Sofia is definitely interested in graduating".
I first heard the song in the movie "Lost in Translation" (IMHO one of the best movies ever made) ... still brings up fond memories to the movie scenes when it was played. In my memories the song and the movie are eternally connected 🙂

I find Jesus and Mary Chain's music paradoxically relaxing, especially the music from PsychoCandy. I find it odd because there is often a surfeit of distortion and guitar feedback throughout the entirety of most of their songs which often builds up to a fever pitch, so to say. Then it just stops. There is no crescendo, just a total cessation when it hits the peak. I find it so cathartic, as if I am just releasing everything bumbling around in my head along with the impenetrable wall of noise.
This song brings the most potent memories to life in my mind once again..picnics in the sun, laying in the clovers with my best friends in the middle of springtime... This is beyond perfect and timeless.
Ouvir "Just like honey" após um vácuo de anos, foi como se tivesse reencontrado uma paixão de um passado longínquo... Doce, nostálgico mas também bittersweet. Os grupos e cantores(as) dos anos 80 são de um talento sem comparação com os atuais.❤️😊😢
Yup... I just had this appear in my YT feed and hadn't listened to it since I had a tape deck in my car (I had Psycho Candy on tape) so probably around '95, and it took me right back to being a kid again: I was anticipating every lazy guitar stroke with tears in my eyes...

I grew up in the 80's and I don't remember this song because I was too busy with hard rock and heavy metal. I'm sorry I missed this because it is quite good!
Aw mate that’s good u can still appreciate this song and be a heavy metal fan (same) lol you’re so lucky you got to live the best era ever! I’m 22 and my love for the 80/90s is endless ❤️🔥
I fully understand it! As a fan of JAMC I hated equally fans of disco and long-haired ... sorry, fans of the "real rock". Then I "grew up" enough not to judge people by music they listen to. Now I am nearly 52, living in Thailand. When I see here in bars old "rockers" of hard rock and heavy metal ... this hatred has come back ... PsychoCandy and Automatic - my youth!

God "We are first and foremost a pop group" - Jim Reid, 1987. "I can't even think of that word, alternative; to me it doesn't mean anything" - Jim Reid, 1990s.
Arguably, my favourite 80s song and one of the best songs ever written IMHO. Here TJAMC actually sound like my favourite band: the Cocteau Twins. I heard this in 1985 and it was love at first listen. The whole album is outstanding. My best friend and I used to play the vinyl record so loud it made the window glasses shake; the whole flat felt like hit by an earthquake...pretty much what teenage years were: a mixture of beauty and catastrophe.

Saw this interpretation on song meanings "Personally, if I had to take a stab at it, I would say that the song is about a relationship, and the things that we choke down for the sake of love, the debasement that we endure for the sake of others. Sexually, emotionally, socially." This person nailed it!

Back in College I saw The Jesus and Mary Chain live at the Chestnut Caberet in Philly. Psychocandy was a listening staple and I STILL love their sound. Btw- I graduated college in 1992😳!!!
Never has a song ever made me feel physical feelings but I felt this in my bones and blood if that makes any sense. My friend just introduced me to this and I have to say it’s literally PERFECT
My all time favourite song from the 1980s....absolutely NO contest. Towers over all the rest of the competition by several hundred thousand feet! Even though there were countless truly great gems from that decade...this one tops them all. Just unspeakably fucking exquisite....THE perfect three minute pop thrill (and it IS three minutes too - how amazing is that?)
Listening to this I realize I know it. I remember this being played on radio one's evening session and john peel span it a few times. So many memories. Love.
The Jesus And Mary Chain had many influences and that is what made them a great band . Psycho candy is a great album .As good as Definitely Maybe, Never Mind The Bollocks, The Undertones and Flesh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables.
Jesus and Mary Chain e Cocteau Twins conseguiram romper as barreiras da sensibilidade Sonora em plenos anos 80, onde parecia que nada de novo surgiria. Eles são realmente os pais do Shoegazze!!
was a teen from 80-90.. best years of my life. listening to Jesus and Mary chain and never having any idea how gorgeous it was or how rare it would be.. it was just another song on my mixtape that we listened to daily.. the cult. sou and the banshees. echo and the bunnymen, etc. then the flip side was all hardcore for ramp skating. minor threat, angry samoans, dead Kennedys, GBH, exploited, DRI, circle jerks...man those were the good days.

This song was the perfect beginning to "Lost in Translation", of all the scenes in the movie, the most memorable scene is just this song and Tokyo as seen from a hotel room. Boom, iconic scene.
+Samuel Wallace Not to nitpick, but just to help, the opening scene was a song called "Girls" by the band Death in Vegas. This song actually played at the very end after Bill Murray kisses Scarlet Johansson.
creekandseminole really? i guess for some reason the end and the beginning seem similar in my mind, I really thought this was how it opened. Researching....
Samuel Wallace Before I knew who Death in Vegas were, I thought the opening song was "Capture the Flag" by Broken Social Scene since I sounds very familiar to me. The good thing about that mistake is that I discovered BSS and they became one of my favorite bands ever.
Psychocandy still stands as one of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion and one of my personal favorites. The wall of noise melded with the melodic feel of a 60's R&B girl band forms a concoction that stands singularly in my mind.
I remember one day tripped on mescaline travelling from the field to the city with the sun shining in the sky, sitting on a bus and listening to this song, gazing the waves of the mountains through the window, the shining leaves of the trees, the eternal road in front of my eyes... it was really good, so good...
When I heard this at the end of Lost in Translation I couldn't believe it - what a great song for the ending of that film. I went back the next night just so I could hear this song in a theater again.

Listening to this type of stuff directly From my childhood makes me nauseous sometimes. It feels so good but so completely untouchable. We are in two different worlds
Sorry for your loss…… but on the bright side…… you listened to the Mary Chain… First heard them about a year before Psychocandy was released on a C90 cassette…. just feedback, distortion and more swearing than Mary Whitehouse would approve of!! Life changing music!! ✌️❤️&🏴🍄🎸🎸!! Roj Swansea xx🥰

A very fitting song.
@@dchoney9435 the lyrics in Stand Inside Your Love are truly phenomenal.
What was the song u wanted?
Early 90s I saw the Jesus and Mary Chain live.
Opening a concert of the Cure.
Didn't realize how lucky I was, back then.
I love the music but they were not into being on stage
1989 Wembley Arena?
The hairspray from that concert probably helped with the Ozone
I had never heard of them before. I just watched them perform last night. It was a phenomenal show!!
We all were, my friend.
We all were.
This album as a whole is one of the sweetest pieces of art ever to be unleashed.
"Listen to the girl/As she takes on half the world." What a beautiful opening lyric for a beautiful, wonderful song.

my wrists just flying
I've always thought they were supposed to emulate bee's buzzing. Kinda has that square wave buzzzzzz noise
Son, with that analogy, you should write
That’s such a good description of how the guitars sound LOL
Listen to their guitar hero Rowland S Howard.

Saw this interpretation on song meanings "Personally, if I had to take a stab at it, I would say that the song is about a relationship, and the things that we choke down for the sake of love, the debasement that we endure for the sake of others. Sexually, emotionally, socially." This person nailed it!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you are a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
This song is plainly about sex
@@Shadeslayer200593 Then what does "Walking back to you, is the hardest thing that I can do...I can do for you" mean? that's "the debasement we endure for others, sexually, emotionally, socially..." 🙄
Edward Scissorband
Jajaja
😂
Just saw this comment today. So funny! 😂😂
No, that title goes to Robert Smith, The Cure don't you know
Joe Gomez rob didn’t have that style u til the late 80d
Back in College I saw The Jesus and Mary Chain live at the Chestnut Caberet in Philly. Psychocandy was a listening staple and I STILL love their sound. Btw- I graduated college in 1992😳!!!
Glow brought me here. I had forgotten this song and I used to listen to it all the time in the 80's
The Velvet Underground + The Cure = early Jesus and Mary Chain .
no...
@@andyisdead Ok .
Beach boys + The Stooges = JAMC
You're wrong. Jesus + Mary = Chain. That's factual.
@@Uncharted20012 both are valid. :-) VU+TC=J+MC=BB+TS
Twilight Zone, Toronto, 1987... I loved when they played this, along with Skinny Puppy. Still melts me...
Such a wonderful song. Never gets old. Think I'm in love
The fact that this song is so emotional and simultaneously so blatantly about cunnilingus makes it so fucking awesome.
Gay guy here...So I was happy just going along happily ignoring that fact. ;)
I feel stupid I never knew it was about cunnilingus
It's not every girl that's just like honey. One who is is wonderful though. "Just like an armpit full of dogshit" wouldn't have taken off as well.
Franck Bender u dirty bird
Right on the money Franck. Lost my virginity to this in Paris in the 80s
Never has a song ever made me feel physical feelings but I felt this in my bones and blood if that makes any sense. My friend just introduced me to this and I have to say it’s literally PERFECT
You have poetry in your veins. Embrace every drip of the lyrics 😜
Man this styled like how we grew up is beyond weird as fuck
@@layditms2 what?..
the same happens to me
@@lanatoneto3815 I'd hesitate to even speculate.
Lost in Translation, best ending ever!!
Castle1047 So cool !
T'was emotional.
Such a unique movie
My all time favourite song from the 1980s....absolutely NO contest. Towers over all the rest of the competition by several hundred thousand feet! Even though there were countless truly great gems from that decade...this one tops them all. Just unspeakably fucking exquisite....THE perfect three minute pop thrill (and it IS three minutes too - how amazing is that?)
Listening to this I realize I know it. I remember this being played on radio one's evening session and john peel span it a few times. So many memories. Love.
Found Psychocandy in my vinyl collection and gave it a spin today for the first time. blown the hell away wow what a gem.
The haircuts of the Jesus And Mary Chain remind me of their sound: Wild, Free, Untameable. Psychocandy is brilliant. A sweet and sour sonic sauce.
Thirty odd years later and still gives me goosebumbs
The Jesus And Mary Chain had many influences and that is what made them a great band . Psycho candy is a great album .As good as Definitely Maybe, Never Mind The Bollocks, The Undertones and Flesh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables.
masterpiece
django939 I like your prp
Loveless is Psychocandy pushed to absolute noisy musical perfection...

I don't have a friend, or ex, or family member that died in relation to this song. I just like it for itself.
Lost in Translation brought me here. That was the most beautiful ending ever with this song. My heart feels like crying.

Jesus and Mary Chain e Cocteau Twins conseguiram romper as barreiras da sensibilidade Sonora em plenos anos 80, onde parecia que nada de novo surgiria. Eles são realmente os pais do Shoegazze!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀
was a teen from 80-90.. best years of my life. listening to Jesus and Mary chain and never having any idea how gorgeous it was or how rare it would be.. it was just another song on my mixtape that we listened to daily.. the cult. sou and the banshees. echo and the bunnymen, etc. then the flip side was all hardcore for ramp skating. minor threat, angry samoans, dead Kennedys, GBH, exploited, DRI, circle jerks...man those were the good days.
This song blew a hole in rock and roll when it came out. I'll never forget those days.
Glad I got to see these guys live ♥️🏴 Absolute magic 🥰

For a fast, loud band this is a beautiful slow song. Takes me back to the early 90's.
Thank you Sofia Coppola for introducing me to this song.
@Gabriel Never Broke Again same, i watched the movie after finding out that my bloody valentine and TJAMC played in some scenes
Well done lad...
@Gabriel Costa Silva exactly, a lot of song introduced me to a great movie
Fucking masterpiece! No band can conjure a pure mess of tragic and joyful emotions in one ethereal epic piece! Truly the greatest band ever
Jesus and Mary chain, Psychedelic furs,Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy division and the Smiths..Soundtrack of my youth..❤❤❤
so much loveliness packed into one video, it just bursts with it
So melancholic song, so beautiful song.
Listening to this masterpiece brings me back to my youth and listening for hours to all my imports on my turntable. I can listen forever.
that drummer was loving it
Bobby Gillespie formed a very good band. Primal Scream.
Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good
Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you
I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Thanks for the lyrics. Great movie... Lost in traslation. Great Bill, Scarlett forever. 💔
Amazing that they're touring now. Would love to see them.
This song was the perfect beginning to "Lost in Translation", of all the scenes in the movie, the most memorable scene is just this song and Tokyo as seen from a hotel room. Boom, iconic scene.
+Samuel Wallace Not to nitpick, but just to help, the opening scene was a song called "Girls" by the band Death in Vegas. This song actually played at the very end after Bill Murray kisses Scarlet Johansson.
creekandseminole really? i guess for some reason the end and the beginning seem similar in my mind, I really thought this was how it opened. Researching....
Samuel Wallace Before I knew who Death in Vegas were, I thought the opening song was "Capture the Flag" by Broken Social Scene since I sounds very familiar to me. The good thing about that mistake is that I discovered BSS and they became one of my favorite bands ever.
+Samuel Wallace if I had enough money and ideas a good half of my movies would be directed in Japan, it's not THAT genius, you know
Psychocandy still stands as one of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion and one of my personal favorites. The wall of noise melded with the melodic feel of a 60's R&B girl band forms a concoction that stands singularly in my mind.
The Beach Boys meets the feedback and overdrive!
Saw them live in Barrie, Ontario in '92. Simply awesome!
I remember one day tripped on mescaline travelling from the field to the city with the sun shining in the sky, sitting on a bus and listening to this song, gazing the waves of the mountains through the window, the shining leaves of the trees, the eternal road in front of my eyes... it was really good, so good...
When I heard this at the end of Lost in Translation I couldn't believe it - what a great song for the ending of that film. I went back the next night just so I could hear this song in a theater again.
Junior High School music was so good. ❤
Yeah Only This Band 👍⭐⭐⭐❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥👏👏👏👏👏👅👏 And 👍👍👍 For Jesus And Mary Chain👇👆
If I ever leave from a trip to japan, I’m playing this in my headphones.
Yᴏsʜɪ_Dɪɴᴏ_Kɪᴅᴅᴏ when you do go to Tokyo & listen to this, you need to film yourself listening & upload as a new video-edit of this song!
I'll be filming in Tokyo with this playing in the background of my movie.
Cringe
trueeeeeeeee
Lost in Translation .♡
This band is my inspiration, the coolest people of that era hands down.
Can never get enough of this song

Listening to this type of stuff directly
From my childhood makes me nauseous sometimes. It feels so good but so completely untouchable. We are in two different worlds
Sorry for your loss…… but on the bright side…… you listened to the Mary Chain…
First heard them about a year before Psychocandy was released on a C90 cassette…. just feedback, distortion and more swearing than Mary Whitehouse would approve of!! Life changing music!!
✌️❤️&🏴🍄🎸🎸!!
Roj Swansea xx🥰
Still one of the most beautiful songs
