I am absolutely stunned! I mean, we were all warned how fast time flies, obviously I just did not get it. I look in the mirror, but hardly recognize my own face. Is it really me? I feel cheated. Like I am really only half my age, still a little wobbly, just a little bit behind, late start but ready! What do you mean it is almost over?!?!? Can I get a restart?!?!?
hi, yesterday was my birthhday the 10th april. now its 2024 and I m browsing thru the time and the music that was and is part of the life. But lets move on. Spin around like a record.
im here - i just discovered this band, i love their song 'hello' this one is good too, marcella has a great voice, i dont think she needs to go for those high notes so often though, it can get a bit much sometimes
In 1992 I was 16-17 years old. I dreamed of a happy adult life, true love. Now I am 46. Dreams did not come true. I have not fulfilled my life. But the song is as beautiful as it used to be.
There's something completely other-worldly about, not just this song, but Shakespears Sister itself - Siobhan and Marcella are gloriously enchanting together. Will forever love this!
That era had many amazing songs. Even great songs did not make it to number one due to the sure number of songs available. Now the 1990s was not as good as the 1980s as there was a big drop off in the quality.
This song was played at my mates funeral…. I’ve never been the same since. This song brings tears, goosebumps and over the years a warm smile of the awesome times we had together. Cheers from Australia, and live your life everyday like it’s your last. I say this from my hospital bed, bored, but thankful my heart decided too keep going for a little longer, feeling emotional so remembered this song, it made me breakdown. Blokes do “shower cry”, and I’m not ashamed too say it. I’m just stoked I’ll be able to watch my kids grow up and won’t take it for granted.
absolutely I never understood how she wasn't super-well known and regarded, and sang more?! like, wow now I understand most people don't have deep appreciation or understanding to appreciate
Yeah, look at 1:53 the guitar player moves his head and looks at the drummer. So that when the drummer starts, he can chime in and siobhan can do her part.
Was looking at other comments about mime vs live and thinking… Almost all the lyrics/melodies are different to the studio version, and as a muso, i looked to band members ABSOLUTELY for changes as dramatic as that one!
I’m 70yrs old and absolutely love this song and band. This song is part of my memorial. It’s beautiful and still makes my hair stand on end when I hear it.
The early 90s, what a time to be alive, the vibe of the 80's was still felt and something new and future interesting was expected....A time when you left home without a mobile phone, pure adventure....
Wasn't it basically always allowed to use live vocals over a prerecorded backing track? Anyway, this performance is so extremely good that it takes really close scrutiny to spot differences between the studio vocals and this. But yeah, this isn't the album recording. Impressive.
Its the marriage of the angel and the devil that makes their collaboration work so well .... the high and low register, the pure light and the mysterious darkness .... the contrast is really brought together brilliantly in their music ...
What a strange feeling when you see and hear a group that you have memories of as a 14 yr old boy and haven't heard from since. I'm 44 now. Man, my memory rocks!
@@Brandywellbhoy Her family was Irish but she grew up in England which is why she has an English accent. It's where you grow up that determines who you really are IMO.
Thank you for reminding me how much I loved and still love this song and the whole album Hormonally Yours! It's one of my all time favourites. I'm going to listen to all of it now. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤️
My understanding is that Siobhan was drunk af when they did the video and that is why there were so many cuts in it. Obviously she was doing a lot better on TotP.
i just discovered this band over the last couple of weeks - this is a great song. I dont know how to spell her name so I will call her SF, SF has a great style about her, kind of like a Batman villain - she looks amazing. i see they toured back in 2019, i wonder if there is a chance they might do it again, I can only hope
This duo feature feature prominently on my iTunes playlist to this very day, oh and the name of the playlist? 'SubZero'. I bought the CD's back in the day , and these days they're on my phone and go everywhere I go. Shakespears sister is timeless, I'm 56 now and no doubt will be still listening to them until my last days. Thank you for the music.
Bloody luv this song n im nearly 68😂.. the voices are brill n when it’s the full video.. Siobhan is creepier! Marcy’s high notes.. excellent!..Luv it!!!
My interpretation is that her lover (Marcella) is in a coma and Shoiban's character is a demonic force from Hell that has her eyes on him and wants him with her there to dominate and posess him. Sexy and dangerous with religious overture. In fact the song video is pretty much what I'm saying.
I don't know why this clip popped up on UA-cam today but it is appreciated. Loved the song back then and still think it rocks. Didn't know that the girls could also deliver it live.
One of my all-time favourite songs, top 3 material. It's timeless, they both play their part to perfection. I'm sorry they didn't do more, and garner more appreciation, what they did was terrific.
@@ImtianaJones Not necessarily: I run SoundHound on live classical music concerts - or even on myself when I'm humming a tune - and it finds it every time.
@@WaldoReyJr They would have had to record a "live" version with subtle changes in the way they sang, compared to the studio version. Cathandler's observation is correct. How do I know? I was recording and performing (electronic/pop) music in the same time period, and used the same technique.
2024 EPIC RAW TALENT, this was so so good to watch, and speaking from every guys 90's childhood you were scared but turned on oh so much haha. This song will never die AWESOME
I think you should come back with this and let the latest generation have the same experience of this haunting song. It is timeless and as important now as it was back then. Thank you.
Man I love that everyone here is reminiscing on their youth with this song but this is the first time I’m experiencing this performance at 26. This is CRAZY! If I’d heard this at 14 I would have gone so feral, I could have clawed my way through a brick wall
Vivid memories of this from when I was 9 years old. I properly fancied the "bad" one. The video was excellent and the song was top so I got to see it every Thursday for a while.
Both singers are awesome and beautiful, but there is just something about the expressions and energy of Siobhan that's just so damn mesmerizing and sexy.
I wrote a novel which was originally written as a TV series. If it were to ever be made, this song is a very important part of the story for one of the characters, really hope I get to see it made one day.
saw them in concert at the Apollo Manchester was so pleased to shake Siobhan's hand as we waited for autographs outside. I liked her in Banana Rama. Both were charming and surprisingly small only 5ft
Since I didn’t watch anything related to this at all, I don’t know why this popped up on my channel I recommended.But I’m not gonna complain! It takes me back to my childhood.
Number 1 on March 9th 1992.I was 26..I blinked and became 56.
I was 22 and blinked and became 54 😁👍
It's mad how time goes so quickly. I was 16 and bam 48 this year. Mia's the 90s best days ever.. I look around now and think wow what a mess.
I am absolutely stunned! I mean, we were all warned how fast time flies, obviously I just did not get it. I look in the mirror, but hardly recognize my own face. Is it really me? I feel cheated.

hi, yesterday was my birthhday the 10th april. now its 2024 and I m browsing thru the time and the music that was and is part of the life.
But lets move on.
Spin around like a record.
This song has stood the test of time. It is an evergreen classic. Who is listening to this in 2024 and beyond?
Aye, I heard Ghost cover it.
The original will always be best.
I
Still infatuated with Siobhan in 2024 as well.
im here - i just discovered this band, i love their song 'hello' this one is good too, marcella has a great voice, i dont think she needs to go for those high notes so often though, it can get a bit much sometimes
I’m here from Brisbane Australia. I love this song and band. I’m 70yrs old. This is one of my songs for my memorial when I’ve gone.

@@arturkarpinski164 I'm almost 41 and I feel the same way......no one around me knows, except me
i was 5 at the time....still really like this song after all these years.
I'm 46,i know what you mean, it was only a breath away 1992, immortality has passed, I'm glad we lived in the years we lived
If you're still alive today you're doing better than 99.9% of the people who have ever lived on Earth :)
@@bgill7475 bullshit 🤣🤣
My crusch for Siobhan is eternal..
Can't be the only one who had a HUGE crush on Siobhan back in the 90s
Which one is Siobhan? The long haired girl?
@@bekahe4433 Siobhan Fahey is the one with the long hair. I find her foxy as hellXD
@@simonbionary11010OK I thought it was her and I agree. She's hot. Have you seen her now? She still looks pretty good for her age.
only reason this was a hit for her part... the rest is depressing bullsh**......... ;)
More of a Marcella man myself, but both are beautiful!
There's something completely other-worldly about, not just this song, but Shakespears Sister itself - Siobhan and Marcella are gloriously enchanting together. Will forever love this!

If you think that was goood check out old grey whistle test with EC in 1977. Excellent harmonica player too...
Yeah, everything they did was uber cool!
@Big Talker Indeed. In more ways than one.
@@typhoidpaddy1244 Not sure exactly what I should be looking for, but Marcella wrote and played with Clapton as well, eh?
Me in 1992: This is an insanely good song!
Me in 2023: This is an insanely good song!
So true

Marcella most underrated but brilliant singer, not many have a range of 6 octaves like she does.
Yeah! She goes down from bass all the way up to soprano! That is amazing. A2 to B6 isch right?
absolutely I never understood how she wasn't super-well known and regarded, and sang more?!
like, wow
now I understand most people don't have deep appreciation or understanding to appreciate
@@lopa-u9f She was pretty well known before Shakespears Sister. She was called Marcy Levy. She co-wrote 'Lay down Sally' with Eric Clapton.
@@Wunjo-Wunjo cool th anks!
30 years on, I still get goosebumps...
Me too ❤️
I heard this song as a sophomore in high school and I was mesmerized. Nothing like it now. So beautiful and unique !
Oh lordy so many shivers of them!!
Siobhan ❤❤❤❤❤❤
YES!!!! It's been 30 years for me too and now I'm sharing this with my 6 year old daughter ☺️
An absolute masterpiece. I love that the show let them sing this LIVE!!!! No fakery or autotune here!!!
Yeah, look at 1:53 the guitar player moves his head and looks at the drummer. So that when the drummer starts, he can chime in and siobhan can do her part.

I am 51 and I love this song. Great to hear it again..😊
You old bugger! ...thank God I'm only 50
Me too. ❤
That high note at the end: flawless! 😊
I love this song. Two beautiful ladies with amazing voices and talent. I wish I could go back to the late 80s, 90s and early 00s.
I wish I was already alive on the 80’
Got to be better than 2020 😬
@mike rathbone true ...
Not only you. I hate it the both are not alive anymore
Mystic True2 - what do you mean ?
The early 90s, what a time to be alive, the vibe of the 80's was still felt and something new and future interesting was expected....A time when you left home without a mobile phone, pure adventure....
That's what the world no longer has adventure
In between hair bands, grunge and hip-hop, this masterpiece came out.❤
You know you're something special if top of the pops actually let you sing live
Wasn't it basically always allowed to use live vocals over a prerecorded backing track? Anyway, this performance is so extremely good that it takes really close scrutiny to spot differences between the studio vocals and this. But yeah, this isn't the album recording. Impressive.
@@PikkaBirdwhat they allowed varied over the years
I was just thinking I've not heard a real live performance on top of the pops but this is definitely live!
I was 7! I've always loved the DRAMA of this song❤
This takes me back! I was a little kid when this was out and loved the vocals on this song ❤❤❤
Hair, makeup, wardrobe… impeccable. Adds to an already great song.
I remember this memorizing me as a kid growing up....the talent is unbelievable.
I love the evil nutter faces that the other one pulls. Beautiful.
The other one😂😂😂😂
@davidmurphy8364 Siobhan Fahey was like a female The Crow on her faces expressions!!! 😂😂😅😊
Look up the Mary Whitehouse Experience parody of this. Almost as good as the song 😂
I was 17 in 92, this song was mesmerizing back in the day and is just as great today
Its the marriage of the angel and the devil that makes their collaboration work so well .... the high and low register, the pure light and the mysterious darkness .... the contrast is really brought together brilliantly in their music ...
What a strange feeling when you see and hear a group that you have memories of as a 14 yr old boy and haven't heard from since. I'm 44 now. Man, my memory rocks!
Same man same!!! I remember seeing this video for the first time as a kid.
I'm 54 and still go back to it. Must've left a big impression.
I was 9 when this was number 1! I remember it was massive at the time though!
I'm 48. There's no way I'd forget this song, created a lasting impression on my teenage years.
I was six when this song was out. So your memory isn't anything special.
Hard to believe, I'm 75 and it’s the first time I’ve heard/seen this brilliant version.
40 here and just heard this beautiful song for the first time this year😬😬😬
Better late than never.
There's another version???
@@dess5500 The studio version, probably
So you're almost 80 now!? Still kicking?
2:36 still gives chills down to my spine!
2:55 for me
I love the contrast between their voices... nothing like it.
True Talent !
A great US/British combination.
@@ajs41 Irish?
@@Brandywellbhoy Her family was Irish but she grew up in England which is why she has an English accent. It's where you grow up that determines who you really are IMO.

Thank you for reminding me how much I loved and still love this song and the whole album Hormonally Yours! It's one of my all time favourites. I'm going to listen to all of it now. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤️
Im 56 and this song was one of my favourites back in those years.
I always loved this song and video!!!Still sounds amazing!!!
Marcella’s voice is beautifull, but the part of Sobhian is magician emotional they both are GODDESSES!!!
Siobhan’s stage presence, though. The way she sells the mood…wonderful!
She's awesome. But also completely out of it here lol
Yep scary! Very different from her Bananarama days. Love it.saw Siobhan perform it live with Sarah and Keren.
I can’t even explain how amazing this is …there is no words … just wow !
I heard this song at Glastonbury in 1992. Always loved it, but I can't believe it was that long ago !
This used to make me cry. Such a beautiful song.
Miss you dad 1967-2007 love you always 😢
Sorry for your loss.
[*]
You are half dad. 👍
So sorry you lost your Dad when he was so young. Devastating. 😢
I'm a proudly metal head since 1983 , this song is so underrated and so freaking short.
Siobhan Fahey rocks and is in my opinion one of the sexiest and most creative individuals in pop
Man the '90s truly were THE.BEST.
Holy Crap! I was just escorted back to 1992. I remember this being played SO MUCH on the radios. Love it.!!!!
I always love this song. The chemistry is great and I love the insane, evil look that Siobhan has in her eyes during the bridge.
I was also thinking of Neo's Girl in Matrix
Even though Siobhan's part is so short, its my favorite, and her expressions are perfect.
My understanding is that Siobhan was drunk af when they did the video and that is why there were so many cuts in it. Obviously she was doing a lot better on TotP.
i just discovered this band over the last couple of weeks - this is a great song.

This was likely no easy feat to do live. They both sound sublime.
I don't think Siobhan does here at all, no hater though
@@bottlewaddle6677 agreed she started off ok but couldn't deliver like you say stil love her
@@bottlewaddle6677 yes the other Lady has some pipes though
@@Kierant2010There was miming and live singing. Actually. Not everyone mimed.
@@Kierant2010These vocals are completely live.
It's so easy to tell if someone is lip syncing and these girls are obviously not.
STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WIIIITH MEEEEEEE :'-) FUKING BEAUTIFUL!
Oh my Gosh... I had such a crush on Siobhan Fahey back in the Day....
I am so in love with the second woman that sings...
I'd completely forgotten abt this song but as soon as the song began I remembered all the words. Crazy.
I was 12 when this was released. I loved it then and still love it at 42.
Bloody luv this song n im nearly 68😂.. the voices are brill n when it’s the full video.. Siobhan is creepier! Marcy’s high notes.. excellent!..Luv it!!!
"You better hope and pray that you make safe back to your own world"
it's a metaphor about man leaving her to go back to his wife and family, 'his own world'..! she might be threatening to grass on him..!
My interpretation is that her lover (Marcella) is in a coma and Shoiban's character is a demonic force from Hell that has her eyes on him and wants him with her there to dominate and posess him. Sexy and dangerous with religious overture. In fact the song video is pretty much what I'm saying.

I would pay hundreds of dollars to see this live.I was 11 when this song came out and i played it endlessly until everyone in my house knew the words.
All said goes for me too
Aww I did the same thing with the music at home when I younger
One of my all-time favourite songs, top 3 material. It's timeless, they both play their part to perfection. I'm sorry they didn't do more, and garner more appreciation, what they did was terrific.
In 30 years, will we look back on any current acts with the fondness we look at Shakespeare's Sister today? I think not.
An incredible live performance that replicates almost exactly the studio version.
Think you'll find it was lip-synced. How do I know? Because Shazam works on them!

An amazing song by 2 beautiful & talented singer song writers & represents all that's good about the 90's imho. Brilliant.
Incredible song legendary!
Splendid and very underrated band. Siobhan charisma level - Insane!
this song...just gets me right into my soul for some reason... Every...time.

That is the voices of angels washing over me. Absolutely beautiful voices and as a 60 year old truck driver still brings a lump to my throat .
I remember this song but i didn't appreciate it at the time for what it was. The 80s and 90s truly were a golden age for music.
I forgot just how amazing they were.
Man I haven't heard this song in probly twenty years it needs be more on radios etc . One best chart songs in 90s ❤
I’ve always loved this song. What a great performance.
I always enjoyed watching TOTP each week (back in the day) highlight for me, this song will always be a timeless classic song 🎵
Marcy Levy is a powerful vocalist. I saw her with Eric Clapton and she’s special. This is the kind of band I never get tired of.
Brilliant performance ❤
This clip extends far beyond this universe
It moves the molecules in every cell of our being
The vibration of life itself
This song is awesome! Luv it so much, beautiful video. 1992 Luvly time
I was 11 when this song came out. It was no. 1 in the Charts for awhile. I feel such nostalgia hearing it again.
