Listen to it while heartbroken. Listen to it while feeling great. It's the perfect fix for either sides. It's the miracle of falling in love cast into a song.
"Flowers cut down by the dozen Wilting by the window While I'm waiting for you and I In a cancered kiss And all we've adored to find us Sunsets blurred by the way I'm watching With the wonderment I've stolen from time ago And an autumn thought I can't ignore It's leaving Memories kept in the sleep I'm sealing with the antidote I've given to pure intent In the kindest dose I hope your hope is lasting"

everyone kind of is.. the majority who would say they don't like this, would be dude's who don't like music with a sweet aesthetic. u know, pounding metal because that's what hardcore people do
+PrimeM92 I dunno, I think this is more dreampop than shoegaze - which is not a problem. WIth that said, Alison's Halo is good, but not even close to Slowdive or MBV, IMO. I have the impression, though, that the problem here is more about the production than the quality of the musicians.
Danilo Luís Faria The terms Dream Pop and Shoegaze have often been used interchangeably. One could argue that Slowdive, Pale Saints & Lush (and songs like this one) were more ethereal and less heavy/noisy than Ride, MBV, Curve, Swervedriver or Catherine Wheel. On that basis they could be classed as more 'dreampoppy'. However, I think there was always a very strong overlap as plenty of heavier bands were still strongly influenced by The Smiths, The House of Love, The Jesus & Mary Chain etc. and so still had a strong 'noise/indie pop' influence. The way I see it - some shoegaze is heavy, noisy and intense while other songs are more gentle and ethereal. What they all have in common is the extensive use of atmospheric effects units in creating an overall hypnotic and psychedelic sound.
+PrimeM92 I usually see the two terms being used together, shoegaze/dreampop, sometimes with the adition of noisy rock. Thank you for the clarification. I mean it. I will have to agree with you on all that. I've been listening to other shoegaze bands the past weeks, before that I knew only Slowdive, MVB, Ride, and what came before, like Echo and The Bunnyman, Jesus & Maru Chain, Siouxsie, Smiths, etc.
I discovered this song on the shoegaze box set I downloaded from HDTracks a few months ago. If you love the genre, find yourself a legit undistorted (ironic term, given the genre) version of this song. I just listened to it repeatedly in the car for hours. I think I'm addicted to it.
Thanks for the post, back then (early 1996) I had this on limited edition 7" single (B-side was "Calendar")... So many flashbacks and memories with 'holy smoke'... Cheers!
I don't like the way this was mixed, too muddy and has a weird stereo image, but absolutely the lyrics and the musical execution is by far the best, love the dream pop, love shoegaze, love any kind of music peace
Hi Tom, long time no see! Thanks for your comment. How are you going? You should post something up of yourself playing. It would be great to hear you play again. Regards, Ingmar.
I like this song, starting to like Shoe Gaze a lot.. Is Slowdive and Rachel Goswell the most famous ones in Shoe Gaze? For some reason I only like Shoe Gaze when a girl is singing it, just sounds better, to me, just one of those things..
+bobscomix I know!! that is the way I 1st heard it on our local St. Loui independent station KDHX 88.1.. and they played shoegaze with female singers, and I was like "what was that"? immediately caught my ear as something emotional, dreamy, nostalgic..
MINDTH0UGHTS 母ナイジェリア. well for me shoegaze gives a feeling really close to when i listen to vaporwave , with the ecception that this is really organic and in someway pacific like no other genere

It's hard to find music that makes you feel a certain way like this song does.
I remember my mom listen to that song all the time when I was younger
"Flowers cut down by the dozen
Wilting by the window
While I'm waiting for you and I
In a cancered kiss
And all we've adored to find us
Sunsets blurred by the way I'm watching
With the wonderment
I've stolen from time ago
And an autumn thought I can't ignore
It's leaving
Memories kept in the sleep
I'm sealing with the antidote
I've given to pure intent
In the kindest dose
I hope your hope is lasting"

You're most welcome. Many of the lyrics are on their official bandcamp page as well.
+ClaimhSolais cool
@@claimhsolais3466 these lyrics are so beautiful
It's been 9 years and time flew, how are you doing now?
This song will always have a special place in my heart. First song I listened to on my first acid trip
lucy in the sky with diamonds for me (lol that's not me in the profile pic)
i bet it was awesome
PPP by Beach house was mine.
It's a good one.
Pink Floyd for me, but nevertheless this will take you there!
Coming back to this song after idk how many years now, still makes me feel like some kind of 90's witch wandering through a forest on a sunny day.
I'm in shoegaze/dreampop Heaven. The guitar/drum breakdown gets me every time.
Sounds like a beautiful rainy morning (7 AM)
Everything about this song is beautiful
And so
are
you
:3
Claudia Cutino
Video matches this song perfectly....beautiful noise
Nostalgic, but almost in an eerie way
I totally get what you mean
Not eerie at all. It is very honest, innocent sounding.
this song will never get old for me. always fits no matter the mood 🤍

I remember having this cd back in the day. Strange how certain songs bring you certain memories from certain times.
The haze all over makes it beautiful!
it's like free drugs
its like drug free
Don't know which comment is better
MadMags the one with drugs obviously
Only on shoegaze vids can you find such funny and peaceful youtube
I rushed down here to say somethjng, not knowing what but somethjng changed inside and this was he first thing I Saw...... and it does apply.
rediscovering this song>>>

+Netta Sinaga I know.. it is totally awesome!! are you a musician too?
+Michael Craig no. I'm not musician. but I love this kind of music :)
+Michael Craig i am and its really moving me
everyone kind of is.. the majority who would say they don't like this, would be dude's who don't like music with a sweet aesthetic. u know, pounding metal because that's what hardcore people do
This song trips me out! Brings back to the 90's and its painful. I dont know why, I enjoy today, life is good but its just a rush I can't explain.
this song and video are my ultimate happy place.
this song is so beautiful! it's healing my pitiful soul as we speak haha
Wonderful song.
Shoegaze heaven! Easily as good as Slowdive or MBV. Really love this song!
+PrimeM92 Soooo much better than slodive
Sorry, I can't say I agree. I'm a big fan of Slowdive. It's a very beautiful song though. :)

Sounds like the 7" version. Sometimes I like the warm, crackley sound that comes with vinyl. Or maybe it's just nostalgia.
This song came out around the same exact time I was born. :)

This song is so beautiful 😩😩
I miss 90`s...
feels like rainy day
m83 wait comments brought me here and introduced me to shoegaze and slowdrive ;) i like these bands
Idk if the video makes me think this, but the song reminds me of a storm both the calm before and the actual storm.. Just has that sound
Sig it makes me think of snowy England or at least somewhere in the us snowy near a waterfall
I get the same feeling when listening to deftones' be quiet and drive. Angsty guitar with dreamy vocals give you that feeling I guess.
generational banger
I love you Alison halo !!!!
I can see this in Daria or As Told By Ginger. Amazing, magnificent song.
Very Beautiful
love this song

Dream pop at one of its bests!
I always play this song in the afternoon while raining..
Me too, with marihuana
I like to melt and drift away toward everythingness
