This is actually a Brinsley Schwarz group recording and not just Nick Lowe as this mistakenly implies I know I (Ian Gomm) played guitar, sang on it and arranged the harmony vocals and Dave Edmunds produced it!
What do you believe contributes to the misattribution?
who wrote it and who was lead vocal??
Live version of Brinsley Schwarz doing this has disappeared from youtube - that's a shame
This, for me, has always been the superior version. When Nick asks "Where are the harmonies?" you delivered. An amazing song.
Hello, Mr. Gomm! Should still be trying to "hold on to what I got"? lol!
Nick Lowe...the forgotten GIANT of the New Wave movement. His debut lp stands alone as one of the most original lp of all time. YEAH! I just wrote that!!
lol its nowhere NEAR the most original but it sure could be one of the best examples of songwriting of all time
do you mean Jesus Of Cool LP ?
It's such a good song. No matter who sings it or which version it was. It's a good song and well done to Nick for writing it.
I love Nick Lowe's version because he wrote the damn thing! Such great engineering and production by Dave Edmunds, and the song, although serious has a breezy quality to it. When Nick asks the titular question, it is in earnest, as if he is having a philosophical discussion about his experiences, with a friend at a quiet party.
I love Elvis Costello and the Attractions' version because there are only 2 ways to cover someone else's song. Either you play it by the numbers and come as close as you can to sounding like the original, or you make it your own. Elvis Costello and the Attractions made it their own, in a big way. When Elvis Costello asks us the same question, he is way more confrontational, as if he shoves you in a crowded pub, after hearing you mock 3 institutions he cares deeply about and is ready to put you in your place!
It is July 8th, in the now infamously awful year 2020, and entire nations are asking,
"Where are the strong and who are the trusted?" If anyone is reading this in 2050, I hope all of humankind managed to find that sweet harmony
perfect description of the difference in the versions. p.s. love dave edmunds..... underrated.
I am a big Nick Lowe fan, but Nick's version is generic (e.g. the tedious nonvarying jingling tambourine adds nothing) camp(the voiceover about "the children" gives it away). One would definitely need a few drinks to see in this what you seem to.
@Marten Dekker There are many musicians that play in house bands, cover bands and wedding bands that would most definitely take issue with your opinion on covers being near duplicates of the original song. These hard working people put in the hours to get a cover just right, and although they may not be filling stadiums, these gigs help to keep the lights on at home. Your comment ends with 2 very confusing questions. If I find joy in both versions of this song, how could I be devoid of emotion? I mean I get your opinion, and appreciate all the time and effort you took to respond to an opinion you disagree with, but I don't get how taking the wind outta my sails so your ship can go faster helps the discourse. Also, I think you are wrong.
I guess there really is no accounting for taste.
@@Themanwhocameback2 Dave Edmunds produced it as a strummer, and that's... fine. Looking at it from a production or engineer's standpoint, I can't disagree with you. You could play this track for 100 different producers, and each would have their own way of presenting it with their own distaste for tambourines and/or campy voiceovers, but most, if not all 100 would agree that at its core, it is a great song. You could strip it down to just a guitar and vocals and it would still be a great song. Perhaps I romanticized a bit about DE's production, but as a songwriter, I don't need drinks to hear that this song is special. I just need ears.
@@spankywzl Sorry, I was a little obnoxious, and I wish I had your forbearance. It is a great song.
A song who’s time really has come.
honor to where it's due - this song has taken a life of it's own! That! is a sign
Love Nick Lowe he is sadly underrated 🎶🎵😊♥️
You're incorrect. People got hip to Nick right from jump street. Whether solo, with Rockpile or Dave Edmunds, Nick gave
all and we went along for a great ride. "New Wave" ran it's course and Nick kept moving forward.
This is Nick Lowe's song. Nick's version is sweet and simple, unlike any of the covers. Plus, it's the only version that delivers on the harmony.
Check out Trip Shakespeare's version.
Apc version
Has anyone noticed that the main riff sounds like Baba O'Riley from Who's Next released in 1971, three years before Brinsley Schwarz in 1974? The Elvis Costello version has a slightly different riff with more notes which is why I never noticed the similarity. Still a great song which resonates today.
My late husband Robert Kirby worked with Nick Lowe on Abdominal Snowman.
Minnesotan here, what a great message for rn
In 2022 we could really learn from this song with all the hate and greed in this troubled times kudos to Mr Lowe
Timeless masterpiece. Nicola is a true master!!!
Nick Lowe Dave Edmonds Billy Bremner- mcmanus knows who Rocks!!
"We must have peace and love for the children of the new generation"
PEACE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING! !❤❤❤
Another deserving 'World Anthem' !
I believe the best modern version is A Perfect Circle's just amazing! Got a history lesson today thou! I believe this IS just too happy for such a moving song!I like the sadness in APC's tone
Taylor Momsen did a cover for this song yesterday, and I just had to come and check out the original. Amazing song here ♥️
This song is on my YT playlist titled "Funeral Songs".
I know I will have no control then, but I can hope.
Thank you, 1980s. You were as awesome as I remember.
The song is from the 70s
Fritz Wilhelm : we just didn’t know it at the time...
1970s mate .
Elivis' version is fantastic but this version remains my fave. I love Nick Lowe more.
Saw Elvis Costello and the Attractions do it live in Edinburgh in 1979 and it blew me away.
A perfect circle did it best. This is the original but Maynard has a way on pulling emotions out of records plus the production is as good as it gets.
masterpiece
Love this song thanks nick
Bones (S02E12) brought me here! 😊
dig it, Nick Lowe! take 'us' right back to basics!
Best version of this song
Brilliant original
Cool anthem for the Covid!
Ya
Great Song
Great song. The stripped down, acoustic version is worth a listen.
. He makes me laugh. Heard him on the radio round 77'. Not a peep since. Then ran on Little Village. He does know the hooks and crannies of Pop. We wear the same glasses. Same hair. Same false teeth. What's not to like?
So feeling this today
One of my favourite non-Dylan songs.
Glad to hear the orginal
Actually really love the acoustic version - when he's much older... what a beautiful song overall
@BLACK GSD54 Now is the time, indeed, for this song - I was saying to my husband two days ago: "where are the strong? and who are the trusted?" - a song for these times for sure...
@BLACK GSD54 Let's stay together......
more relevant than ever
❤❤❤
I never knew this was the original until yesterday. I definitely like this version better.
Elvis Costello is talented and all, but his voice has the subtlety of a sledge hammer.
Not the original -originally done by Brinsley Schwarz for whom Nick was guitarist!!
Bassist.
This is the original 1974 Brinsley Schwarz version written by Lowe and re-released on a newer 'best of' Nick Lowe collection, and yes, Nick was the bassist.
This is the Brinsley version, with Nick on lead vocals.
@@RobPirrie Correction: Nick was the Brinsleys' BASSIST and sang lead on a good majority of their songs! And by the way, this IS the original Brinsley version we're hearing.
For the attention of Yep Roc Records - Please credit the group Brinsley Schwarz for this recording!
Such a great song - thanks Ian!
Possibly the best bar band in history.
B Schwartz were a fine band
@@jonathanmacpac They're 1st or 2nd in my book, alongside Huey Lewis & The News.
@John Hemlock Not at all, Huey Lewis & The News are a great bar band- that's actually worked with Nick Lowe (the Rockpile guys basically) on more occasions than I can count.
Their 'pop-ier' hits in the 80s overshadow what a tight and great live band they were, as well as their roots (R&B, Memphis Soul, country, 60s Doo-Wop and early Rock & Roll to name a few) which are present in lesser known songs of theirs.
The original New Favourites of Brinsley Schwarz version (produced by Dave Edmonds, I recall) was a mickey-take ("We must have Luuurrrve, more Peace and Luuurrrrrve..."); but as subsequent versions have surfaced over the intervening decades Nick Lowe appears to have been considering the possibility that he was - unconsciously - having a genuine moment of introspection when he threw down the words.
So glad people are listening to and loving this song again! During grunge it just wasn't cool...
Baba o Reilly
Yep kind of.
The 1/5/4 chords have been around for centuries. The Who didn’t invent it,
It's pretty insane that I think of the Who when I hear it, that's how influential their usage is.
Brinsley! This version is best...
+Tuff Bunker its good and of course nick wrote it but elvis made it an anthem and prob made nick rich too
Ya the Bry’s was the best
Check out The Strypes version of this song. Best version by far.
Love Nickster for writing this one but Elvis's version remains the definitive version, with it's passion and urgency. This is like a campy cover.
I'm inclined to agree, Costello and the Attractions take it to another level of awesome.
This is not the version I am used 2. End seventies I bought American squirm and the flipside of that 7"" is the one I do like most.
Who comes here from Elvis Costello?
As I write, innocents are being killed in Gaza. Last week innocents were killed in Israel. Ain't nothin funny bout Peace, Love & Understanding.
what he said
Elvis' rendition is good, this is better, but APC did the best cover by far :)
Try the "A Perfect Circle" version, as well. So dark.
I guess he refered A Perfect Circle when he wrote APC. I think that cover is way better than the original.
Elvis' much better. This doesn't even come close.
Elvis' rendition has the fired up energy and tempo that none of the other versions have. Elvis wins. Nothing wrong with the other versions, however. None of them suck because it's such a killer song, but go back and listen to Elvis one more time. Turn it up and feel the rebellion. Love those chord progressions with your entire being: ua-cam.com/video/KCGlwx3L-Xk/v-deo.html
BigE1293 I just listened to that and it was probably the worst murder of a song I have ever fucking heard... Maybe "being blue eyes" by limp bizkit is comparable. Ouch... That was awful
I like this better without the organ Elvis Costello used.
cynical or serious? nick never let on.
Nothing cynical about it
La meilleire version de ce morceau étant la version d'Elvis Costello : ua-cam.com/video/Ssd3U_zicAI/v-deo.html
Sounds like bubblegum pop. Elvis Costello's version is far more urgent and real.
Wow, this song is BAD!! Unless Maynard James Keenan does it. A Perfect Circles version destroys this or Elvis Costello's version. These versions are so bad compared to APC and MJK's rendition.
Agreed. The previous versions sound so insincere compared to the APC version. By the way, it was Billy Howerdel (APC's guitarist) who sang on that track, not Maynard. Point still stands though.
Imagine having such wrong opinions
That band is trash. What an original band name...I think every town had a band named "a perfect circle" at some point. One got famous, thankfully and ended that. I'd never bother listening to them...I feel like I already know what I'm in for.
Great song.
