    Emotional music is a two way street. The conversation is when you get it, but also in ways, when it gets you. Why Lex relates, I get. Even though the song may be melancholic, because it understands you, it makes you happy to hear something that shares your mood. It speaks to me on that level too.

    Their manager absolutely loved this song when he first heard a demo. When The Church flew from Australia to Los Angelis to record the album that would be Starfish their manager badgered the producer to force the guys to record Under The Milky Way. Steve Kirby, who wrote and sang the song, was for some reason not eager to record it. I remember that the first time I heard it I was mesmerized.

As for H&C,when their first EP "World Of Stone" came,that was it for me - their first tour of NZ was mid '82,and they probably toured here more than any other country apart from Australia of course. Also they had more chart success here than any other country including Oz. I think I've only seen 1 reaction to a H&C song in the past few years,which is a shame as they had so many great songs.

    They're from Australia and peaked in the 80s and early 90s. Lead vocalist/bassist Steve Kilbey likes to call their music "space rock", but I guess in the US they are classified as alternative. This song was their biggest hit, in 1988, but they never had the success they deserved. (That whole album - Starfish - is stellar, a classic). They do retain a cult following to this day though.

But the emphasis on melodic bass, and Kilbey used a Bass VI (Like Robert Smith) a lot through their back catalogue. Both Kilbey and Smith have talked about how they admired each others work - and there is also a rumor that Love Song was heavily "influenced" by Under the Milky Way.

    Brilliant band - dream-pop rather than goth or emo. This and "Metropolis" were their big international hits, but they've had a huge string of top albums. I'd recommend "Just for You", "Reptile", "The Unguarded Moment", and "Electric Lash" as a Church sampler.

    Reminds me of driving around on my day off in the nineties with my friends from a rough neighborhood (pizza places wouldn't deliver there). We'd end up clubbing in Chicago. This was on the radio in the car a lot of the time.
    Good times.

    Your first assessment is spot-on, Lex! You don't get any more of a soothing, melancholy, dare I say, "goth-like" chill vibe than these guys. Both albums Starfish and Heyday are perfect in that sense.

    I miss the days when all the big cities had ACTUAL alternative radio stations, and a lot of the Universities and colleges did, too. You could spend your days and nights getting washed in beautiful sounds like this and hear songs you never imagined existed. Now it’s all pay-to-play garbage like I Heart Radio crap and you really have to go searching for the good stuff online because none of the radio stations will play it.

    Love it! Back in Australia The Church were a breath of fresh air in the 80s, definitely not emo or goth, certainly laid back and not in your face. They wrote songs that once heard would attach to you for your entire life. For me it's the same for Fade into You by Mazzy Star, so much meaning and soul.

When this song is over the only word you should utter is "incredible" or "what did I just hear" as it has this pensive, deeper sense to it that really drives deep into you. Thank God I grew up during the New Wave invasion of the 80's....just so much incredible music. You can listen to new wave forever.

Like REM, Mazzy Star, Psychedelic Furs, Inxs, Love and Rockets, Echo and the Bunnymen 🐰. Donnie Darko movie. "Ripple", "Metropolis" and " Reptile" are good videos from them, too. Yes, those are bagpipes. Maybe for some more similar bands later for yall to check out?! Sioxsee and the Banshees, The Cure, Clan of Xymox, etc. 🌙
