To me this song is among the very top best masterpieces ever made. And not just because of Skin's voice. The whole composition is just perfect. They were all brilliant.

Ein musikalisches Meisterwerk, völlig zeitlos geworden und für mich das Stück, dass am allerbesten die Band musikalisch präsentiert in all ihren Stilrichtungen. Gigantisch ❤
You know what I love.. these musicians are amazing, and they can create a gap in the instrumental and Skunks voice can still rip through without any hesitation.
Lyrics: I awake From blood thick dreams Washing blame From my knees Softly done So secretly I'm awake As Charlie sleeps A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone I awake Dry the scream Spit the vile breath Till my tongue bleeds Thinks it's all gone Famously Broke the hard girl Good to please A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone Tell it like it is Tell it like it is Tell the sordid truth Tell them Tell it like it is Tell them A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone Alone, alone, alone, alone, yeah
Absolutely, at first I was like "this is some heavy funky stuff" but then halfway through I was like "these sounds are actually pleasant and harmonic" and not harsh or beating into my ears.
Still absolutely mesmerising 22 years later. Was an angsty 15 yearold in 1999 now looking back with a great and fond nostalgia. Songs these days really don't hit has hard!
@@ameera.abubakr If you wanna keep discovering, then go for the weirder places: The Vovos for current feminist punk, and Tool for... hell, I have no idea how to describe Tool. Go check them out and decide for yourself.
I have no idea but in my eyes she is a beacon for the rock community not only because of her breathtaking voice and talent but because of her beauty color and originality. Absolutely love this woman and her amazing voice! Wish I could meet her 😪
I wish more people pointed this out. One of my favourite intros to any song. Hearing this song on my Dad’s iPod on drives back home from school as an 8 year old is probably what laid the groundwork for me getting into trying to make some of my own Jungle/DnB stuff recently!
For me, personally, it's really an added value when it comes to the listening experience when there is an ethical or moral dilemma being confronted lyrically. The tension between it finds its expression in the song, in the music. It's therefore always a suprise when you come to the conclusion that an emotional response was triggered just by listening. As they say: music speaks louder than words. Greets, Belgium, Brussels
Best alt rock/alt metal song ever. I still need to come back to get a fix again and again. After all the music I've heard over the years, no one does it like skunk anansie. And the D&B intro, it's just good shit! Raw, savage, beautiful.
My friend sent me this song yesterday. Couple hours he passed way by a car accident returning for your home. Miss you ma man!! Enjoy your time and your friends buddy, no one knows when we will leave this world 🥀🖤
What a remarkable voice this woman has ,when she sings ,that vioice sent waves down my spine,one of mt favorite alternative rock bands miss them when they were here South Africa
just turned the tv off and heared in the end of a CSI episode that song and oh my gosh thats Skunk Anansie ,, needed to hear it again here..what a great band ..from a great era. powerful.matchless .alternative rock,.part of my youth.

"the music" will not get any better in the future. this song is more than 20 years old and comes in my mind from no where
Music has no age bro. Good music will be listened to forever. And there is good music today to. Just like in the 90's. And the 70s, the 50s, and the 1700s..
Can you believe that the USA never warmed up to them? Search Trash Theory and Skunk Anansie for more info on how they struggled trying to break through.
A lone brother… sept 4th 2024 So many things going on with my life right now, and this banger in the background… I will remember this season of my life and this song will be the soundtrack
Ok but why am I just hearing this song for the first time in 2021???Of all the videos that have been served up in my feed ... really? Never this? This is awesomeness!!!
I was near the front when they opened with this at Pink Pop ‘99. The pit turned into waves of people washing over me. Nearly killed me, no joke. I’ll never forget it though.
Lots of beauty in the world, you just gotta learn how to look in the unusual places. That means: Avoid the algorithms, they will hide this stuff from you. Make friends with weird people, that should widen your exposure the most.
I saw them headline with "Gravity Kills" on first and the then unknown "Stereophonics" second before they came on at Birmingham sports centre, England when I was 17. My second gig and it was amazing! Edit: 20 years ago 😭 where does the time go?
*Just seeing a bald black woman with such powerful vocals singing a hardcore head-banging rock song just blows my mind on every level. How exceptionally unique it is to stumble upon something so rare and straight up badass!* Hollow Man brought me here. 🤘🏼👩🏿🦲🎸🎤🎶 ⭐️🔈🥁📺🎹📻🎻🏆
I bought this on cassette at a service station on the toe of Italy . Listened to both it and blur 19 all the way back to the UK , it was the perfect accompaniment .
25 years later, still sending chills down my spine.
exactly like it
Way to make a person feel old!!!!
Dunno how I missed this 25 years ago (it's right in my wheelhouse) but it's giving me belated chills now.
Nerd
Same!
Probably one of the best, if not the best, female rock vocalists.
One of the best vocalists of any gender really., Skins a force of nature.
Anneke van Giersbergen is the best though.
@@peterd.4476both are great
Amy Lee is really good
@@peterd.4476no.
21 years later and this is still better than most of the actual alternative rock shit.
you can bet your ass it is
Good music never gets old, that's why.
With no doubt
and so we gather here, brothers and sisters of taste, that in the night of global terror, we shall enjoy the greatness that is Skin
Bless you.
To me this song is among the very top best masterpieces ever made. And not just because of Skin's voice. The whole composition is just perfect. They were all brilliant.
This and Filter's "You Walk Away" are two songs I often use to demonstrate to people how a rock song should work from a construction point of view.

yeah 👍

100% agreed
4685 years later and still so good. Thanks!
Even Pavarotti himself regarded Skin as a phenomenal vocal artist. Saying it was his honor to sing with her and that her power put him to shame.
Who is skin?
Deborah "Skin" Dyer. The frontwoman.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! When did that occur?
WHO IS SKIN...?
I have my jaw on the floor!

Skin.
@@antipatsy thanks, lol. Ah, really I'm just revisiting Skin's music from way back when it was released.. my old brain :D
December 2024 and 4.8 million likes doesn’t even scratch the surface of the recognition this masterpiece deserves. ❤
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024
Yes
Ur mother
Да
🤘🤘🤘
Heyoo!
2020 and this song hasn't even aged a single day!!!
Neither has Skin 😅
I grew up listening to their music. Omg I’m just now realizing how lucky I am.
yes, it did, but since you also got old you don't realize it
@@Orjonast meanwhile my skin aged in triplicate lol
Still gives me chills in 2023
So amazing how Skin can go from hauntingly beautiful to powerful rage. What a voice!
The power and grace of an unstoppable, avenging angel.
@@Tao_Tology how can you know how an avenging angel sounds like?
The best voice EVER!
Lyrics:
I awake
From blood thick dreams
Washing blame
From my knees
Softly done
So secretly
I'm awake
As Charlie sleeps
A lone brother, a lone sister
A home cover, alone
I awake
Dry the scream
Spit the vile breath
Till my tongue bleeds
Thinks it's all gone
Famously
Broke the hard girl
Good to please
A lone brother, a lone sister
A home cover, alone
Tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
Tell the sordid truth
Tell them
Tell it like it is
Tell them
A lone brother, a lone sister
A home cover, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, yeah
🖤
It hits you like a sledgehammer without being brutal. A gentle caress with a bulldozer. Brilliant.
Art.
Absolutely perfect analogy. Nicely put.
@@Waspwoman1ikr😊🤘🏾🤘🏾
May I steal?
Absolutely, at first I was like "this is some heavy funky stuff" but then halfway through I was like "these sounds are actually pleasant and harmonic" and not harsh or beating into my ears.
Those vocal harmonies are the stuff of war anthems. You could vanquish all of Sparta with that sound driving you.
Yasss))
How did these guys manage to shoot a music video in my apartment, WITHOUT ME NOTICING?!
😅😅
how is it physically possible to scream so beautifully? Seriously, how??
eran5005 Magic. Pure fucking magic.
this is the matrix effect
She's a natural soprano
Love this comment skin is amazing what a lesson in singing and generally being amazing and an iconic lady she is power
That is the power and the beauty of being a women: we can combine an amazing force and an amazing sensibility in the same body and soul...
Wow...🥰🤤 This song gave me chills when I heard it years ago. It still does.
Still absolutely mesmerising 22 years later. Was an angsty 15 yearold in 1999 now looking back with a great and fond nostalgia. Songs these days really don't hit has hard!
We are old dude....
@@DiegoMendozaParadaxs we are! 🤣
I'm 16 and discovering this, Skunk Anansie is one of the best I've heard yet
Truth. Songs back in the day were and are still real ❤❤
@@ameera.abubakr If you wanna keep discovering, then go for the weirder places: The Vovos for current feminist punk, and Tool for... hell, I have no idea how to describe Tool. Go check them out and decide for yourself.
Post Orgasmic Chill was one of the first CDs i ever buyed, and it is still one of the greatest! I truly love her voice, just a fantastic band!
The song "Lately" on that album was great as were the other songs.
Bought. Not buyed
@@ekulyarg who cares
@@loveinstars lack of standards. Quelle surprise plus you asked a question. No question mark, lmao.
🎉😢😢33⁶w 0y😢@🎉😂6😢ekulyarg
This song really resonates. Big thank you to Skin and the guys.
Това никой, никога няма да може да го изпее! Поклон пред божествения талант на тази Певица!!!
Jep. Still an absolute masterpiece! The hairs on my arms still stand up when the first chorus hits. Skin's amazing voice is still doing it for me.
Niklas Silen
For me it's the "alone" repeats at the end. I had this disc 15 years ago and this tune still kicks all the ass today.
The massive backing vocals are so under appreciated in this track. Good god! He adds so much depth to the vocal line
didnt even notice it until i read this! great ear ::)
one of the best songs i ever hear, the vocals near the end always brings chills when I heard them.
If UA-cam algorithms randomly brought that absolute masterpiece to you, means you have exceptional music taste ! ❤
Sounds like self compliment 😂
I saw them open for Sevendust years ago and they were so intense. One of the best live bands EVER
Licking creme baby
Who should open for whom is the question
So true..they are really fantastic live
Heck i would love to hear them both on one concert!
@@Jopkakrolika Sevendust is criminally underrated though... Still a hard choice!
that rare case when a track managed to age gracefully; could have easily been released in early 20's
I have no idea but in my eyes she is a beacon for the rock community not only because of her breathtaking voice and talent but because of her beauty color and originality. Absolutely love this woman and her amazing voice! Wish I could meet her 😪
I saw them perform live years ago......she is truly magnetic
Never meet your heros 😉
One of the best songs ever!
After decades...Hollowman is still bringing me here...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Childhood trauma keeps bringing me here....
Never seen Hollowman.
24 years later and I’m still rocking out to this, thanks Kevin Bacon, thanks Hollow Man
What a beautiful voice , hope to hear more from this band.
They have a couple cd's brought out in the '90 ties
That breakbeat intro is dope. Love how they incorporated electronica elements into their songs
I wish more people pointed this out. One of my favourite intros to any song. Hearing this song on my Dad’s iPod on drives back home from school as an 8 year old is probably what laid the groundwork for me getting into trying to make some of my own Jungle/DnB stuff recently!
Always have loved this song, and it has aged very well. Skin's voice is amazing.
Tell it like it is. TELL THEM! Great tune. Thanks Hollow Man!
Thank you CSI for introducing me to this amazing song
Song, videoclip, everything. This video is just perfect.
👌👍
I miss bands like Skunk Anansie in this day and age. Glad I grew up in a time when music was music.
Skin is perfection in every way.
For me, personally, it's really an added value when it comes to the listening experience when there is an ethical or moral dilemma being confronted lyrically. The tension between it finds its expression in the song, in the music. It's therefore always a suprise when you come to the conclusion that an emotional response was triggered just by listening. As they say: music speaks louder than words.
Greets, Belgium, Brussels
Cool track though right?
Yes, the video holds clues to the song - and to the rage
Yeah boy!! The song from Hollow Man! Took literally forever to figure it out but worth it.😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰😎😎
YES! I love that movie and this song was PERFECT for it! Skin's voice is BEAUTIFUL and BOUNDLESS. Skunk Anansie is AMAZING! ❤
2:00 will forever be sending chills down my spine...the vocals and her facial expression.
Every time, I can still can’t get the scene where Kevin bacon is listening to this in the movie hollow man in his car. Song will never get old
Best alt rock/alt metal song ever. I still need to come back to get a fix again and again. After all the music I've heard over the years, no one does it like skunk anansie. And the D&B intro, it's just good shit! Raw, savage, beautiful.
I discovered this band a month or so. Skin is completely amazing and I have to say everyone in this band is incredible. ❤
My friend sent me this song yesterday. Couple hours he passed way by a car accident returning for your home. Miss you ma man!! Enjoy your time and your friends buddy, no one knows when we will leave this world 🥀🖤

The 90´s had the best music!
Hands down, in almost all genre!
получается
Best video on the 20 century. Perfect song. Greeting from Slovakia.
So glad I got to see them live. They killed this one...
Brividi brividi,la voce di Skin è unica,mi porta in un'altra dimensione,grazie ❤
I've never heard of this band till now
I like it!
What a remarkable voice this woman has ,when she sings ,that vioice sent waves down my spine,one of mt favorite alternative rock bands miss them when they were here South Africa
The song! The video! Skin!!!! = Goosebumps and adrenaline-rush! Just a perfect piece!

This unlocks many memories for me. Never realised how much it sounds like Kashmir as well.
One of the most epic songs ever.
A lone brother… sept 4th 2024
So many things going on with my life right now, and this banger in the background… I will remember this season of my life and this song will be the soundtrack
I'll see you in Lisbon....i cant believe this OMG...1 OF MARCH
Best Intro EVER
Ok but why am I just hearing this song for the first time in 2021???Of all the videos that have been served up in my feed ... really? Never this? This is awesomeness!!!
They are still touring i see. Will be off to see them next month or two. Can't wait. Excellent!
Their music does not age! Absolutely timeless!
Don’t know how I got here, but glad I did!
Goosebumps all over my face. Just incredible
23 years ago a masterpiece was released
The visuals and the bass had my attention. I was sold at the 2:00 vocals.
still listening to this in 2016 - what an amazing song!
+La Regina
Not sure how many times i saw this video or listened to this song...
+La Regina recent rock productions are very bad
actually think its BETTER in 2016!
It sounds even better.. I just love it!
Stop living in the past!
This song and video cut right through my head, heart and soul. Absolutely awesome.
she was so stylish that dressing like that today would still be avantgarde
A timeless masterpiece 🤟🏼
Fantastic voice and I am really happy about her comeback last year👍👍👍👍👍🌷🌷
I was near the front when they opened with this at Pink Pop ‘99. The pit turned into waves of people washing over me. Nearly killed me, no joke. I’ll never forget it though.
Never heard of this band before. How!?!?!? WOW!!!
Lots of beauty in the world, you just gotta learn how to look in the unusual places. That means: Avoid the algorithms, they will hide this stuff from you. Make friends with weird people, that should widen your exposure the most.
For example, are you familiar with the Vovos?
This album rocked and still does 2024
Totally beyond time and space. Pure art, just poetry.....Simply perfect
Bless the mid-late 90s alt. rock !
Thank you Hollow Man. Thank you Kevin Bacon!!!!
Damn right!🤘🤘
Yess!!!!!😎😦
Real shit lol
I just watched it and had to find the song
Ive watched the movie many times as a kid and I’m just now watching the music video lol
Fuckin Awesome song, back then, and still nowadays. Skin is the best female singer ever. What a voice.
Still Today !!!
Saw her perform on thé Torhout Werchter festival , the fact she sang so pure and beautiful in open air mesmerised me
Listening in 2023 🎶. Skin, her vocals, this song, this band...timeless
i discovered thanks to the movie hollow man
@@mortensenvick5711facts me too 😂😂
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2025
Une voix exceptionnelle, un super clip !
The world needs more skunk anansie
Yes, this has finally come back to me. After so many years. Me and this song are finally united again
Still love this song and video! Used to have it on a Windows Media disk. Saw them live on 9/9/99 With Sevendust, PM5K, and Staind!🤘
That sounds amazing 😖🥺
@@RainMan14561 I will never forget that day as long as I live.

Edit: 20 years ago 😭 where does the time go?
@@fillipoenzagi2731 both of those shows sound fantastic! Would have loved to seen those too! 🤘

One of the greatest music ever made!!! Amazing!!!

this video needs much more likes....one of the best songs ever
This song blew my mind the first time I listened to it! I love the whole album! I love you!
This could of been released yesterday, and I would think it was fresh. Skunks f'n awesome.
I have missed this song from the 90's till now, OMG and what a song!
I'm a huge Skunk Anansie fan, yet this seriously is one of their best f...ing songs!!!!! Surely???
Oh Skin, you're my one and only music heroine🫡
