I basically spent my youth at the Club where the "Mirror People" he writes about were. Daniel Ash was dating a woman from Columbus Ohio and she would hang out at Crazy Mama's. The coolest punk club ever! He wrote this song about the club, and it's dance floor that was flanked by floor to ceiling Mirrors. Some people in altered states of consciousness would often dance the entire night and stare at themselves in their own trippy world. Some would congregate and sit along the floor in front of the mirrors to watch all the dancers. The club was usually pack with tons of unique dance styles. It was THE place to be in the late 70's to late 80's! Often alt/punk bands would hit the club after a show too. I remember seeing The Cult in Concert on OSU's campus and later saw them show up at Mama's! Great memories from a great place! Love and Rockets Rock!
@@michellericker3972 I can confirm this is about Crazy Mama's. The woman's name is Kathy. She went to my high school but they met in England when she was modeling. Both of them are credited for the Express album art (although I think there was someone else driving the art direction based on the symbology). I knew her a little bit but I knew a close relative more. There have been a lot of other interesting things that have circulated, such as if she was the inspiration for So Alive (not sure based on something Danny said in an interview), if she was the model on a Tone on Tail record (I _think_ so but don't remember for sure), etc. I admit I'm interested in trivia but kind of plug my ears about gossip because it's not my business. I used to hang out on Mama's occasionally but spent most of my time at Mustards. Bands used to come in there all the time, too. Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails toured constantly and came in one night after playing at the Newport. My friend hung out with him for a little bit - and he signed his little black book and left a phone number. He was too nervous to call it, though. :) Speaking of the Newport and the Cult, I still have my t-shirt from the Love tour somewhere. I have more stories but I'm getting off the subject. Thanks for bringing this up. Lately I've regretted how invested I was in aspects of that lifestyle back then, but this has really brought back a lot of good memories.
I watch a lot of music on UA-cam and I repeatedly make the mistake of reading comments. It seems a lot of people think every band/band member is underrated!?!
There's something so intoxicating and sexy about this song. Earth Sun Moon will forever be my favorite Love and Rockets album. Can't wait to see them live next month! Such an underrated and amazing band, that clearly influenced a lot of 90s alternative groups to follow.
@@valeya Yes, it was a fantastic show at a beautiful, ornate old 1920s style theater in Brooklyn. The set was fantastic with a fairly equal selection from nearly all their albums, with some deeper cuts among the singles. The energy was electric and the stage design was very psychedelic and fitting of their music and vibe. The whole band was in top form, excellent musicianship and stage presence (even if they wore sunglasses the whole time). They just exude cool.
They were on a bill with Janes Addiction and others on a tour in the 90’s and I bought a ticket because of them and they didn’t show up that night...so consider yourself lucky!
The mirror people one day shall be free The mirror people laugh at you and laugh at me The mirror people, know not how to cry So they scream, the mirror people scream inside Because I could be nothing at all Because I should be nothing at all I wish I could be nothing at all I wish I could be nothing at all
If memory serves me, this was inspired by Ash going to a club in Columbus, Ohio called Crazy Mamas, featured a lot of floor to ceiling mirrors of course.
You're 100% correct! Mama's was my home away from home. Spent every night I could there. Daniel was dating a girl from C-bus who would frequent Crazy Mama's!
Love it!!!! I have this tendency to share good songs. Question has anyone else had this problem with Facebook? "Goes against there standards", please give me a break!, anyway love it ❤❤
Saw them in ‘89 for the Earth. Sun. Moon. tour. hahahahahaha they were fucking awesome! Too bad so sad for all the losers who didn’t get a chance to see them.
In meiner Lehrzeit habe ich jede Nscht wenn ich noch eben ne Blubi vernichtet hab. Dann war. Zeit für "Script of a bridge" mein Ritual vor dem zu Berr gehen, the chameleons. Einmal im Schlachthof live gesehen (Bremen) 😊😮😂😮😢😅😊....
I think goth is dead, thanks to the cybergoths and capitalism, but the music and the soul still lives on even today. Theres some pretty great postpunk bands goong on lately!
@@kaori_kanzaki Guy's like to watch girls make-out; just as, girls like to watch guys make-out. Is about time women, apply those same exploitive rules to the men.
@@QuadMochaMatti sorry my dude but I think... Well it's my opinion but BTS is better Again it's my opinion This band is old and probably forgotten They have amazing music... For the people who like it .... I don't really like rock IDK if it's even rock
left my junior prom to see their show. best decision ever.
Hahaha epic dude
You chose correct.
Good call! They indeed put on a good show.

This is such a cool story, thanks for sharing🖤 I'd love be one of the "mirror people" dancing there
@@lnbni it was a unique club, and definitely shaped many people including myself.

Daniel Ash is an extremely underrated song writer
You are absolutely right... !!! Daniel, has a rare gift and he's also underrated as a singer, as well.
You have no idea of what a song writer is.
That's your opinion.
Dani hace lo ke le da la ganaaaaa sin sudarrrrrrr portentoooo 😎💪💪😎😎😎😎
I watch a lot of music on UA-cam and I repeatedly make the mistake of reading comments. It seems a lot of people think every band/band member is underrated!?!
Loved, loved, loved this band! I saw them in 1988. Echo & The Bunneymen opened. Freaking excellent show!
I was at that show in Boston, Orpheum Theatre!
Does anybody remember, what a bitch it was to keep you hair as perfect as Daniel's?
2024, still rockin' it.
i am almost 48 and this song still makes me feel young and dancing on the outside world of love and shadows
Tengo 48 y me pasa lo mismo....
I still want to feel like that when (if) I make it to 80. You're never too old to feel young!
55 and bopping around
Music is a high-tech time machine!! We all remember and travel back to the past...
i am 65 love this band

This comment is a month old, so did you see them live already? But I agree this song is absolutely amazing!

I meant Porno for Pyros!!
one of the greatest underground songs of the 80s
Underground?
This guys fuzz sound is beyond. It just sounds like a mix between a b17 and a chainsaw.
Still an AMAZING SONG... Brings me right back.
That back beat tom tom drum though....BOWM BOWM!
First time hearing this track, superb.
I was a huge Bauhaus fan back in the day but never really made the transition to L&R...my, what was I missing!
I cannot believe this was 30 years ago. These guys were so freakin' talented.
The mirror people one day shall be free
The mirror people laugh at you and laugh at me
The mirror people, know not how to cry
So they scream, the mirror people scream inside
Because I could be nothing at all
Because I should be nothing at all
I wish I could be nothing at all
I wish I could be nothing at all
One of thee best bands ever !!!!
Saw this band in 1998 and still loving em in 2020 lol just had a brain fart and thought it was 2001.. Boyo that wud be great
Saw them in 88-89 time frame. Wonderful concert!
This is a better mix than the album version
it is however I prefer the "slow" version due to the DEEP bass synth
Wonderful song from an incredible band. Daniel is one of the most talented artists in the world.
Insanely underrated, wake up world!

they were so amazing live. i mean really good.
I caught them live twice...1st @toad's place in new haven conn 2nd @giant stadium nj, as opening act for the cure
I saw them live here in Las Vegas in 1988, great show, The Bubblemen came out at the end and the crowd went wild lol!
@@KydenBufect Yes, saw L&R in the states, and the Bubblemen took the stage as well. Great show!
Wonderful groove in this
UNDENIABLY BADASS!.ALWAYS RELEVANT
Wow.Best of the 80's
Long time Love and Rockets fan, first time watching this video. Worth the wait.
great vid incredible band
This song is incredible and the video is mesmerizing
Masters!!!!
Excellent
An amazing song. Some of my favorite lyrics ever as I get older.
So talented
Underrated! That is understated.
Earth, Sun, Moon yeah
This album, earth sun moon, is one of my favorite albums ever.🤘
Saw 3 great shows. Amazeballs when LIVE.
Ohhh trip fantasy, loved this sound. They get it! 🤩😉🙃 My years when this was released have time going by 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ALTERNATIVE ROCK AWESOME
Daniel Ash is Bauhaus , Love and Rockets , Tones on tail and solo project Daniel Ash , a great artist !!!
A very aptly named and ironically timely piece. A barn burner.
Full love and rockets machine😎💪😎💪😎💪gigantessssssss
The mirror ppl know not how to cry,
So they scream, the mirror ppl scream inside!
merci :))
So damn good 🖤🖤🖤
Saw them open for The Cure at Dodger Stadium in ‘89. They were great
This mix is much better than album version
Saw them with SIOUXIE & the Banshees at Centennial Hall , in Mesa AZ, mid 80's. D A R K F U N.
They’re so underrated. I don’t understand it.
The Main Stream has ALWays been PAP. People generally seem to want homogenized sap on their radios.
The Bubblemen are coming...
It’s when Daniel hits that wah break for me
Love it!!!! I have this tendency to share good songs. Question has anyone else had this problem with Facebook? "Goes against there standards", please give me a break!, anyway love it ❤❤
we have not idea why this has started happening - we are talking to facebook now about sorting it out
This song is awesome but can you imagine it in quadraphonic?
The epitomy of cool
Saw them in ‘89 for the Earth. Sun. Moon. tour. hahahahahaha they were fucking awesome! Too bad so sad for all the losers who didn’t get a chance to see them.
Wasn't it Amazing?!!!!!

Time goes by so stroll

Ya think, Daniel?

That's gay but hot ngl.
Hey... !!! He's British. So what? As long as, you're "Kewl" looking when dancing it. Why Not?
@@spinglasshydra I was just noting it there’s nothing wrong I just think it’s funny

Bauhaus who?
so alive に似てない？構成が似てる曲が多いよね。ASHのソロもｗ
Daniel Ash seems Bono
Actually Bono TRIED to look like Daniel Ash. Since both are lookalikes (similar faces) it seemed to work.
They were at their best when the guitars were dissonant.
Me or we ire people?
I dislike this song... It ain't my taste
My taste is BTS
Oh dog, you're a horrible troller.
@@QuadMochaMatti yes I am
@@QuadMochaMatti sorry my dude but I think... Well it's my opinion but BTS is better
Again it's my opinion
This band is old and probably forgotten
They have amazing music... For the people who like it
.... I don't really like rock
IDK if it's even rock
@@QuadMochaMatti together we are connected with sound ~~
That's a line from BTS'S Lights
It's a song
