An Aussie alternative rock classic: dark, brooding and relentless with one of the best bass lines ever written! I recall seeing this video on Rock Around the World back in the day. Thanx for sharing!
This song is mesmerising. I can listen to it over and over and still get full body goosebumps every time. No one commands a saxophone like Louise Elliott OMG swooning ❤
Amazing as ever!!! Still in 2024. Love this song, but I get really introspective when I listen to it, so I don’t listen too often. Takes me back to my tortured teen years 😂
I was wondering. You play this song a lot. 4 versions including Times Not Missed But Hit and numerous times in solo work. Then there's the Saints album of that name. Does this song/theme hold a special meaning or importance for you. I find the lyrics somewhat too opaque to answer that for myself.
It's become a mainstay of the solo shows Peter, but like Electrical Storm didn't get played for long periods of time.... that said since the version on Today Wonder it's proved itself agreeable to being messed around with in a multitude of musical ways
Still my fave song after 41 years!
Thanks again Ed!
I don't want that song to end, I could listen to it for hours. Just so sublime.
Me too
Louise Elliott on Sax.
Ed singing too!
I normally hate the sax…scars from the 80s 😆 This is the only sax that I remember not only not having a problem with, but LOVING!
An absolute masterpiece of Aussie rock and that sax is so haunting

Dark, brooding and relentless. Perfect description.
I saw the Laughing Clowns at the Equator in Perth and although I remember nothing it remains the most memorable gig ever.
This song still haunts me.

Louise Elliot, what a sax godess! Her playing together with the bass line makes this such an irreristible song
You are so true. L E was perfect in the Clowns.
Peter Milton Walsh played bass on this album, unless I'm mistaken. That might even be a brief cameo of his mug at about 4:09?
Don’t forget Jeffrey’s crackerjack snap timing on drums!

My 10 year old lad loves this classic
I like his taste! Pretty sophisticated!
How is it possible, this masterpiece has so few comments.... Ed. Most underrated Aussie Muso of the last 40 yrs.
Goosebumps
Still one of my top favs!!! Hauntingly gorgeous.
The song they play in Heaven .
The best Laughing Clowns song. Love it.
this song always makes me think of what it would be like to see everything go up in flames.... a bit morbid, but somehow empowering
The best song and video 💜💕💗❤️
Breathtaking
So evocative,brilliant.
Still sounds brilliant, new and fresh even today
Classic.
Who's that young fella that sings like Ed Kuepper?
Great trip down memory lane.

It's cool! It's great!
Enjoyed hearing this again after 40 years. But I can wait another 40 years before I listen to it again.
I've just played this track 4 times iñ a row. I used to have the lp in the 80s. Love you Rd Kuepper always will. Donna
This biscuit takes me back...
Was always on my mixed tapes.
Brilliant Ed. Cath him live in Sydney and around Australia soon. He’s on tour with just a drummer
Gem...

@@edkuepper4234 It's a great song. My favourite is the version on Law of Nature. The 12 string sounds excellent.

Madchester avant la lettre
