The second 'this could be my last regress' always get the hairs on my neck. This is simply one of the most under-rated or under-heard bands ever. Really I mean just listen to it.
I'm always pleased when people discover this band. They were largely sidelined at the time (70s/80s) as being Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division clones, but they actually have a unique sound.
Remember its not just Carl, I've always felt that they were the tightest sounding band of any genre , eerie guitars, driving relentless bass, and complex drumming backing Carls presence.
You’re so right. The classic lineup were incredible and Carl could never match their creativity on his own. Thankfully we have these timeless classics.
i'm more into death and black metal but this band has always had a special place in my heart... Carl McCoy rules and always will. Forever Remain!!!!!!!!!!!
***** I am 46 years old, It was Goth/punk then, Although the Goth label is a wide and varied term, For me 80 to 1990 was what i see as goth, Yes it was new wave.
Indeed bro I remember trying to hang myself to this back in 91, I was 21 had a verbal lw&t made out for my family, and still this haunts/taunts me like a wayward child.... I always thought Blue Water was "my tune", but this is IT..... Last exit.....for the Lost !!!
this is one of those songs that sent shivers down the spine as soon as you heard the opening chords in the concert hall (saw them about 50 times back in the day including this show. and 10 times since they reformed) and you know what.... It still blows my mind live 22 years after I first heard it. I fucking love this band and always will. This brings back good memories Thanks for posting
I remember there used to be a coven of Alexandrian witches who'd circle-dance to this when it came on at the Barrel Organ in Birmingham. I'd often join in.
@@sleepys5876 yeah... She was amazing. One of my friends, also now sadly departed, was a friend of hers. He was always saying what a nice person she was.
@@sleepys5876 - I only just now found out. Had to Google it. She passed away in January. Apparently she had a chronic condition, and died after a long illness - most of us didn't find out about it until after the fact because she kept it quiet.
@@SerafinDrake it may have been COPD. She was enraged that Britain was banning e cigarrettes. I know she had smoked for most of her adult life and was suddenly switching to e cigs.

First saw the F of the N - in Edinburgh Coasters 1988. Really didn't fancy thought of gig much. How wrong can you be. Best gig ever......and I've seen the Stones live in 1964 1965 and 1966. The Fields of The Nephilim are a Real Class Act......from an old fart who understands GOOD music. Robin Topping 29th July 2014
Trackstar2211 Here's another one from a proper old fart ! I served time with Nod (drummer) as an engineering apprentice at a British Aerospace company in SE England. He made it clear that he was going to be a rock star to anyone who would listen, especially our tutors. After a spell at university I saw him again at the Reading festival on the main stage warming up for the Mission. Good lad !! Awesome band. Proper music.
bubbanderson That's cool. Back in those days everyone bumped shoulders with everyone else. I was an apprentice with Petters in Staines before moving to Toronto. We saw a band every weekend, Beatles, Floyd, Santana, and on and on. Great times, but came here in 1977 so missed all those other great bands, Cure, etc. But we had an amazing radio station CFNY, a small outfit that played New Wave and Brit rock all the time, so I managed to say up to date.
Awesome. Sounds like you had a good time over here ! Sadly, the days when you could see bands everywhere have gone. I reformed an old band of mine a couple of years ago and checked out our old London haunts .. all closed. The biggest miscarriage of justice is the closure of the Rock Garden ... now the Apple store. Back in the day they would have 4 or 5 original bands on every night and 10 on a holiday.
bubbanderson Sad. Our hang out was the Lyceum Theatre just off the Strand. Saw Elton there when he was the back-up for Super Tramp (who were crap btw). This was around 1972. Or up at Finsbury Park. Saw Roxie Music there a couple of times. Also a great gig was in Guildford. T-Rex, Elton and on and on. Took me about 30 years before I saw Bowie in Toronto. My buddy says that there is some new bloke called David Bowie playing at the pub (The Toby Jug in Surbiton). I say that I am not interested and give it a pass (I think that was 1971). So I had to wait all that time for my favourite performer. Some good bands made it over here like ELO, Boomtown Rats NIN, and now Toronto is the same as any major city, but it's different that the old days, small gigs in small, hot, sweaty clubs with lots of beer. Most of the small places are disappearing here as well. They closed the El Mocombo, probably the most famous, where the Stones played. My son played there about a year before it was shut down, so I guest that is his claim to fame. Cheers.
Last Exit for the Lost, Dawnrazor, Moonchild, Psychonaut and its dozen versions, Blue Water, Preacher Man, Chord Of Souls and most songs of live Fields of the Nephilim - earth Inferno album - were gems.The Fields of the Nephilim suffered accusations as Sisters of Mercy clones. I never understood this as the Nephilim were a real band with a drummer. McCoy and co could actually play their instruments, did not rely on Meatloaf's producer and sampling a guitar 900 times to make it feel real. The Fields of the Nephilim were the BEST goth band as they played genuine chords and at times very beautiful sounds and were dubbed as goth's Pink Floyd.The .The live Nephilim masterpiece Earth Inferno and the brilliant studio album Elyzium left the Sisters for dead musically. The problem was that The Nephilim lead singer, like Eldritch did not want anyone "controlling their image". McCoy's voice - described as a bellowing sewer - was hardly considered radio material and the bnad were not TV friendly and did not appear on shows like the Tube, Top of the Pops and definitely not MTV. McCoy's was considered handsome and his image unique but their band's sound would not move millions of units. NOTE - This was exactly the same period as Gun'sN'Roses. Many believed that the Nephilim would sell out or go bust. By 1993 they went bust aas goth no longer sold , its image seveerly dated as grunge and industrial had taken over. Ministry and White Zombie had taken over the charts and nightclubs.
Fields of the Nephilim were never mainstream. Always a cult act. They were never on a major label. Never a contemporary of White Zombie, or whoever it was you mentioned.
I for one think Carl is most likely the handsomest man of the planet alive today. But I'm a girl lol, so it's expected. I wish they'd had gotten MTV play. I'd have fallen in love earlier. Lol
As we were all pushing 20 when this came out...following the Sisters , Mission and Ghost Dance not to mention listening to Trisomie 21 and X mal Deutschland it was really a true revelation..unfortunately for us of that era we are getting old and are now pushing 50..but ahh the memories.
+Super Leeds That was my music in the middle school back in the second half of the 80's. We called it dark wave back then, not gothic. You've certainly forgotten to mention The Cure and of course the champions of the dark, Bauhaus.
Fields of the Nephilim were such an incredible band, so tight & musically talented. This never fails to give me goosebumps. I was so fortunate to see them live at Hammersmith Odeon ❤
Wow...that was a mind blower performance that elevated that song to the deepest recesses in the inner shadows of my existence. I'm sure it was an amazing experience for those who witnessed it. Bravo
I came here from Skinny Puppy on you tube, these guys are really freaking good. First I've heard of them...they have another fan! I'm an old hippie from Sabbath days, new to Goth, thought I'd check it out, love Skinny Puppy...You can teach an old dog, new tricks arf arf!
Been listening to this song on and off for 27 years! One of my favourite songs of all time. No doubt. I find the whole thing curiously uplifting. I love the bit about two-thirds of the way through where it goes into double time. I've seen them only once, in a dingy club in Victoria Park, Manchester, late 80s. They were tremendous.
This is fantastic music and it has a wonderful heritage - FOTTN were very influenced by Morricone, and you can hear it all throughout thier music. Morricone was influnence by a number of composers, the most important being Copland. It is wonderful to think of such waves of musical innovation moving forwards over these waves...
This is a great comment and made me think and search a lot about the music of Morricone. I am a fan of the music of the Nephs since the early 90s but never thought about this connection. Thanks!
sound quality on this is really good. I used to call this the "chuck yourself off a bridge song" because when it gets going past the middle there, it really churns you up. I can tell this was an amazing show.
Introduced to this band on the 13/07/2016. Whilst reading a book 'From the Ashes of Angels' Andrew Collins. Fascinating book. Loving the music. Collins' book has been a great read and has supplied a lot of possible answers to the origins of the fallen. Give it a read. You will not regret it.
Have loved this band for a VERY long time! Saw them at the UEA in my teens, got a t- shirt to prove it! I am slightly older now, and still love them!!! :-)
goth dark days. Clubs with real djs playing vinyls. goth fans who were into the gene, at least most of them. dancing back and forth and singing most of the lyrics. NO MP3,CD, INTERNET,DOWNLOADING. the days you were willing to go to a house at the other side of the city to a friend's friend house just to see his record collection and hear something rare from the fields for example.
DEAR BILL HELLO, WHY YOU THINK THAT THIS WAS TERRIBLE.WE WERE VERY YOUNG BACK THEN AND IT DID NOT MATTER IF YOU WERE SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY TO VISIT A FRIEND AND HEAR MUSIC.BUT THIS WAS A REAL PLEASURE. IT HAD A MEANING. WHAT IS THE ,MEANING TO HEAR MUSIC BY MP3 NOW. YOU DO NOT YEARN FOR SOMETHING. YOU DO NOT STRUGGLE TO GATHER A RECORD COLLECTION. EVERYTHING IS EASY AND IS BECOMING BORING THE VERY NEXT TIME. THE CLUBS BACK THEN WERE HOSTING A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE HEARING THE SAME MUSIC. MOST OF THEM HAD HEARD THEIR RECORDS A THOUSAND TIMES 9ALL THE SONGS),WERE MAKING HARD SAVINGS TO GET A VINYL OF THE SISTERS IMPORTED FROM ENGLAND. MOST ODF THE PEOPLE WERE KNOWNING ALL THE LYRICKS OF THE SONGS. I ALSO USE MP3 NOW , I ALSO DOWNLOAD A LOT OF MUSIC BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME. THE GROUPS NOW ARE BY FAR WORSE THAN THEN. ANYWAY I AM 45 OLD NOW AND IT WOULD BE A KIND OF RIDICULOUS TO PLAY THE GOTH FAN NOW IN A GOTHIC CLUB RIGHT NOW. NOWDAYS NOTHING SEEMD TOIMPRESS OR SHOCK PEOPLE. BACK THEN IT WAS SOMETHING SPECILA TO BE A GOTH FAN . IN THE SCHOOL THERE WERE ONLY 1-2 BAUHAUS FANS AND IN THE STREET EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING YOU WITH THHIIIIISSSS STRANGE EYE. WHAT IS THIS GHOST THEY WERE SAYING. THERE WAS LIFE WITHOUT EVERYBODY LOOKING THEIR MOBILE PHONES OR TAKING PICTURES OF THEM SELVES ALL THE TIME. NOW YOU ARE IN A CONCERT AND EVERYONE IS HAVING A PHONE SENDING MESSAGES OR TAKING PICTURES. MOST OF THE FANS KNOW ONLY 2-3 SONGS AND THEY GO TO THE CONCERT JUST FOR THEM. MEMORIES OF AN OLD ROMANTIC GOTH FAN I LEAVE THE FUTURE TO THE YOUNG HAVE A GOOD TIME AND ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOUR BELOVED ONES
If i need to choose the most complete and perfect album of the music I have ever known, it would the Elizium for sure. It is an album which you can not listen half. If you don't have time, don't bother. You just lay there in that "morphic ocean..." And even this song... so complex, so perfect!!! I love these guys.
Sigh.Sigh.......che malinconia....gli anni passano ma i ricordi restano!!!!! Che periodo esaltante( 80/90 )!!!! Un abbraccio a tutti quelli che hanno potuto godere quei famosi anni!!!! W il Condor!!! ( MO ) Max66.
"Sumerland holds me in Sumerian Haze" that song certainly holds me in a haze every time i play it. The Sumerian Mysticism that the Nephilim use in a number of songs is outstanding, certainly gives it that great atmosphere.
It hurts to think that there is no way back to those days. I love that your sentence evoking that time ends "...and a girl in a black dress." So poignant.
Vasile (sp) Bora got me listening to these guys back in the late '80s and since then I have bought (I believe) all of their CDs and even some vinyl. Thanks Vas! They are one of the best original Gothic bands ever and maybe even the best.
Love this song. Saw them on this tour in birmingham...but infuriatingly had to run for the last bus and missed them playing this (they started it as I left). oh well at least I got to see them at their peak!
Absolute piece of art my favourite Nefilim song of all time and will be Forever!!! Beyond every feeling a person can feel, from this song. A pure master piece
This song has always been awesome! In fact those first three albums were and still are awesome, they just don't age! Going to the Leeds gig in October..not seen them since 1990 and let me tell ya, I can't bloody wait!
Hello 👍 toute la puissance de Carl MCCoy 🎤🌙🌾 je ne cesserait jamais de regarder l'intégral de " visionary heads " le plus grand concert de toute l'histoire du rock gothique ⭐⭐
Saw them at Brixton believe it was this tour when they were the backing band for the cult. They were awesome. Totally blew the cult away. Had never heard of them. Went straight out and bought there album. Couldn't believe they didn't get more success.
They were awesome live, really words alone cannot express the feelings enough. I can't make comparisons to the original line up as I never saw them live, but recent gigs have had Tony Pettitt back on bass!
This is the first time I've heard of these guys... Never was big into goth, but this track is just so atmospheric and cool. I definitely dig it. Thx for sharing.
Hello guys.I have been to Porto and Barcelona in the last couple of years.Not to mention SPE both nights.This is without a doubt the best vocally and inventive Nephilim i have witnessed.Put the Mission to shame on 22/10/11.Or maybe not-go Wayne.Luv them both like probably you do and yes i was there 89 onwards.Ok not from the start but gees a break!!!!!!!!
When I first bought this album I fell asleep the first few times I listened to it (that is a good thing). It must of been my 7th or 8th time through the record that I actually heard this song all the way through. It changed my life.
Amazing band that deserved more recognition, but for those of us that know, they will always be a timeless classic...
The most under rated band on this sorrowful planet.
Probably one of the greatest live performances EVER🖤🖤🖤
You are right.
The DoubleBase...Er spielt 16'. Als ob es nichts Besonderes wäre. .
Totally agree 👍
Definitely 💯 🔥🔥 🔥
One of the BEST songs ever from a grossly underappreciated band.
one of the best songs from the best band ever :)
En todo el mundo es reconocida porque son los mejores del planeta

how did we go so wrong this music is timeless come back n save us all!!!
these guys are the soundtrack of my life. forever remain
I was so lucky see'm them around 85 in Berlin. Gamechanger. Ten Minutes Fog. Still one of the best Songs EVER
So glad I got to see them 5 times, 1987-1990. Wish it was 105 times.

the same for me, and it was the 1st song i have listened of Field of nephilim
Such a mesmerizing tune...FOTN forever!!!
They have been my favourite band since the late 80's and always will be. Elizium is their best album imo.
First saw the F of the N - in Edinburgh Coasters 1988.

for a wee teen , this was a bloody magic tour! saw them at Wolverhampton Civic and it still remains in my top 10 gigs ( far to many) years later

I've ever read on youtube. Thank you very much for sharing

Was Morricone the composer of Sergio Leone's spaghetti western film music? If so, yet another connection.
Back in the day I used to tag the title of this song "Last Exit For The Lost" all over my hometown of Dallas Texas... Love this Band!

DEAR BILL HELLO,
WHY YOU THINK THAT THIS WAS TERRIBLE.WE WERE VERY YOUNG BACK THEN AND IT DID NOT MATTER IF YOU WERE SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY TO VISIT A FRIEND AND HEAR MUSIC.BUT THIS WAS A REAL PLEASURE. IT HAD A MEANING. WHAT IS THE ,MEANING TO HEAR MUSIC BY MP3 NOW. YOU DO NOT YEARN FOR SOMETHING. YOU DO NOT STRUGGLE TO GATHER A RECORD COLLECTION. EVERYTHING IS EASY AND IS BECOMING BORING THE VERY NEXT TIME.
THE CLUBS BACK THEN WERE HOSTING A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE HEARING THE SAME MUSIC. MOST OF THEM HAD HEARD THEIR RECORDS A THOUSAND TIMES 9ALL THE SONGS),WERE MAKING HARD SAVINGS TO GET A VINYL OF THE SISTERS IMPORTED FROM ENGLAND. MOST ODF THE PEOPLE WERE KNOWNING ALL THE LYRICKS OF THE SONGS.
I ALSO USE MP3 NOW , I ALSO DOWNLOAD A LOT OF MUSIC BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME. THE GROUPS NOW ARE BY FAR WORSE THAN THEN. ANYWAY I AM 45 OLD NOW AND IT WOULD BE A KIND OF RIDICULOUS TO PLAY THE GOTH FAN NOW IN A GOTHIC CLUB RIGHT NOW.
NOWDAYS NOTHING SEEMD TOIMPRESS OR SHOCK PEOPLE. BACK THEN IT WAS SOMETHING SPECILA TO BE A GOTH FAN . IN THE SCHOOL THERE WERE ONLY 1-2 BAUHAUS FANS AND IN THE STREET EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING YOU WITH THHIIIIISSSS STRANGE EYE. WHAT IS THIS GHOST THEY WERE SAYING.
THERE WAS LIFE WITHOUT EVERYBODY LOOKING THEIR MOBILE PHONES OR TAKING PICTURES OF THEM SELVES ALL THE TIME.
NOW YOU ARE IN A CONCERT AND EVERYONE IS HAVING A PHONE SENDING MESSAGES OR TAKING PICTURES. MOST OF THE FANS KNOW ONLY 2-3 SONGS AND THEY GO TO THE CONCERT JUST FOR THEM.
MEMORIES OF AN OLD ROMANTIC GOTH FAN
I LEAVE THE FUTURE TO THE YOUNG
HAVE A GOOD TIME AND ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOUR BELOVED ONES
Bill is a square

Don't know why, but this song is the reason why I'm still alive.. it understands me, I feel it so badly but it saves me so fuckin much 🖤
"Sumerland holds me in Sumerian Haze" that song certainly holds me in a haze every time i play it. The Sumerian Mysticism that the Nephilim use in a number of songs is outstanding, certainly gives it that great atmosphere.
Вы шикарны! Спасибо за музыку, рок навсегда!
So underrated. . I've always loved them
The best live version of this song they performed. Wonderful
Beautiful just absolutely beautiful!!
I wish these guys would tour the US. What a band! In their genre they are untouchable.
Cider, dry ice, flour, ciggies, hairspray, cheap perfume and a girl in a black dress.
Takes me back to those old & magic days.
It hurts to think that there is no way back to those days. I love that your sentence evoking that time ends "...and a girl in a black dress." So poignant.
Vasile (sp) Bora got me listening to these guys back in the late '80s and since then I have bought (I believe) all of their CDs and even some vinyl. Thanks Vas! They are one of the best original Gothic bands ever and maybe even the best.
I would pay to go see this live.
FOTN ze swoja fantastyczną muzyką pozostanie wielkim zespołem do końca świata.
saw these i don't know how many times. still one of the best bands i've ever seen live Also have to thank them for introducing me to Janes Addiction.
כשאני שומע את החלק האחרון של השיר הזה אני מרגיש זיכוך. קתרזיס. יופי כאוב וטהור.
Es sublime....indescriptible
Love this song. Saw them on this tour in birmingham...but infuriatingly had to run for the last bus and missed them playing this (they started it as I left). oh well at least I got to see them at their peak!
will be camping in the Kalahari Desert this summer and playing this music at night while looking at the Southern Cross in the sky
I saw this tour.. I brought a friend, who hated them, after the show, he was and still is, a huge fan. 1991.. Astoria.
Absolute piece of art my favourite Nefilim song of all time and will be Forever!!! Beyond every feeling a person can feel, from this song. A pure master piece
I saw them 13 times in the late 80's still love their music and the memories I have. Awesome
My favourite band of all time, no doubt. Nothing tops FOTN.
This song has always been awesome! In fact those first three albums were and still are awesome, they just don't age! Going to the Leeds gig in October..not seen them since 1990 and let me tell ya, I can't bloody wait!
NEPHILIM amazing seeing them live transports to another realm, CREATIVE, POIGNANT & POWERFUL
i love this song..love the way it is going from slow to fast...
I feel lucky because I've already seen them live here in Portugal. It was the most beautiful concert I've been! =D
i saw them in offenbach/germany....it was one of the greatest concerts i had ever seen.
takes me to another time and place 20 years + never get bored of listening songs for the soul
It's been 16 Years now, that i am listening to them, and they still gimme the creeps..
Awesome...
his voice is calm for me ...soul cleansing...soft and makes me breathe without thinking words.
This track still sends a shiver down my spine...Cool!!
A small venue first row in chicago, the way to see these guys, one on one, mmmmmm soooooo good , miss those days
Hello 👍 toute la puissance de Carl MCCoy 🎤🌙🌾 je ne cesserait jamais de regarder l'intégral de " visionary heads " le plus grand concert de toute l'histoire du rock gothique ⭐⭐
He had visions and shared them with us ❤
*They
peeps dont know how this album changed the musical landscape when it was release, thanks for posting!
Saw them at Brixton believe it was this tour when they were the backing band for the cult. They were awesome. Totally blew the cult away. Had never heard of them. Went straight out and bought there album. Couldn't believe they didn't get more success.
They were awesome live, really words alone cannot express the feelings enough. I can't make comparisons to the original line up as I never saw them live, but recent gigs have had Tony Pettitt back on bass!
Viva!!! Finalmente Portugal, Thanks for beeing in Oporto......
PLEASE Carl Mc Coy--give us more from theme...one of the best single.//my favorite:and there will your heart..so lovely.
Going to Amphi festival 2017 to see them play live. To the Bonanza, you were one of the best following., love from an old Eskimo.
X times this song got me to the point to end it all...
But every time it also told me: you cant end a live with pleasures likes this music....
This is the first time I've heard of these guys... Never was big into goth, but this track is just so atmospheric and cool. I definitely dig it. Thx for sharing.
True legends of mind transforming as for me... After listening sensitive trance appears and it's really incredible!
Hello guys.I have been to Porto and Barcelona in the last couple of years.Not to mention SPE both nights.This is without a doubt the best vocally and inventive Nephilim i have witnessed.Put the Mission to shame on 22/10/11.Or maybe not-go Wayne.Luv them both like probably you do and yes i was there 89 onwards.Ok not from the start but gees a break!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful song....brilliant!
Listening to this on repeats today... magic!
WOW. I'd never heard of these guys before seeing this video. I'm half way through and I love it... I'm looking for CD's right now lol
one of a kind... tr00 and magnificent band!
Always loved this song and finally got to see Carl perform it right in front of me! Leeds 30th 2012
When I first bought this album I fell asleep the first few times I listened to it (that is a good thing). It must of been my 7th or 8th time through the record that I actually heard this song all the way through. It changed my life.
Awesome to hear The Nephilim again ... gj
UK 80 conscientious Goth rock. Dark days, bloom and doom, without makeup or disco-synth rythms
unerreicht.... thanks for the music, thanks for this deep feeling.....
