One of the most experimental singers died before the world could really take in his music. The internet is an amazing place for reliving the great moments created by Arthur Russell and his music. RIP.
That's true, the internet can be a lovely place sometimes. I was watching a Nick Mulvey interview and he said Arthur Russel was a reference. His music is just amazing and I want to watch his documentary now.
@@theactorjohnlarroquette this is true, but imo his music was absolutely foundation shaking and if he had more time with us, perhaps the foundations would've been shaken. Alas, we cannot wish for such things now. Only make peace with the pieces.
i dunno why but him coughing made me cry. just such a simple, human moment in the middle of such a beautiful expression. and he keeps going. such a wonderful soul
I guess there are instruments and vocals but it always feels like Arthur Russell played his music in the very nerves that I'm supposed to be hear it with. Melopoeia
@@trentfairtbf the first two thirds is mostly him vamping on Soon-To-Be Innocent Fun, he does something similar on Terrace Of Unintelligibility so it's clearly an intentional device; the whole of the videos is like a river of fragments of song turned over in a current of pure sound.

His Go Bang was a big club hit in the 80s and 90s

I mean Arthur had been working in the scene for over a decade and had tons of releases and adoring fans

@@gierasole did he not shake the foundations? Beach House plays in car commercials and some r&b singers sound more like Arthur than Marvin

The coughing did make me cry. Lol
@@gierasole glad im not alone
the vocal control, the melodic originality, the intimacy, its like a fertile garden bed, always so inspired by this music
'a fertile garden bed'.
Man said fertile garden bed 💀💀
There’s no one like Arthur. He might be one of the most original musicians ever
Is the
i could not even imagine how amazing and peaceful it would be to see him live
The video work here matches the ethereal nature of his voice and music so well... dark space, brilliant light... amazing that this exists.
i have thought the same thing many times
RIP Phill Niblock - thanks for this
There's a whole universe inside this .... amazing
I see the divine in you Russell.
Such a tragic story of a genius.
This still beats most anything on this miraculous platform we got going here. Resonant beauty incarnate.
It’s okay to celebrate a musician without feeling the need to shit on others, I promise.
This emits its own space-time field .. ceremonial, shamanic, transcendental ... World-making ...
You are not wrong. Something is happening there.
song is Soon-To-Be Innocent Fun. Lovely, of course
O my heart...
i could just get lost in this footage forever. keep returning
Incredible. Remarkable talent, and soul. Thank you Arthur.
6:17 homie had to cough so bad haha
Promptly carries on
God, this is so beautiful
I lost track of previous memory of experience. oh. this is just amazing. thank you Aggie for exposing me.
One of a kind
just beautiful
Wow; I had no idea this existed. Totally magical. Thank you!
Agradecimiento eterno a la música de Arthur Russell, vibrante, emocionante y sublime, uno de los seres más bellos que han pasado por este universo

yasss Arthur you sing your little cute songs
O my, o my...
Genial
how does he do that
Phil Niblock shot this video??
This was presumably very influenced by John Martyn’s “Solid Air” era
I hear it
I cried really hard when I realized he died before I discovered him
don't worry, most people discovered him way after his passing :(
Anybody can make out the full lyrics?
to much city living

dam this guy really just played the same song for 34 minutes... sicko mode
Hi Kyle! Small World :)
not the same song buddy

he plays a lot of songs, quoting the melodies and lyrics... for example in 21:34 he's singing the boy with a smile/by the moon
太硬了.
Innocent fun led to disaster. Poor soul.

At first thought the title said Ft. FKA Twigs, and that would be neat
i hate doing this but ARCA sent me here
isá ur listening to that trash.
Arca is one of the best
@@nrg8787 how does someone end up on this video but can still call Arca trash
Alec Anderson easy cuz this be arthur russell and not arca....different time zone, sound and struggle.
@@manicnoize Two things can be good at once. Two artists can be great and unique, art is not a competition.
