Lyrics:
What holds your hope together
Make sure it's strong enough
When you reach the end of your tether
It's because it wasn't strong enough
I was going to drown
Then I started swimming
I was going down
Then I started winning
Winning - winning
When you're on the bottom
Crawl back to the top
Something pulls you up
And a voice you can't stop
I was going to drown
Then I started swimming
I was going down
Then I started winning
Winning - winning
It's very beautiful that spite of his personal struggles Adrian was able to leave also one of the strongest motivational songs ever written.
Generally the people suffering the most tend to be the ones to inspire and motivate the most, it's sad but true.
also The Chameleons - Don't Fall
@@PhantomLAM isn't it true ...
Adrian was a brave man. He was honest about his mental struggling. Unfortunately he did not win
It's way more stripped back than the Cure, but his vocals are amazing. It's the voice of a truly unique person, the song, irreplaceable, the lyrics truly profound and impeccably succinct. He had nothing to prove.
someday we'll be the best version of ourselves
Preach
this diseased corruption of society doesn't facilitate the Best Version of Me.
Or many of us.
We've got to fix our societies first. Then we can be the best version of ourselves. Happily.
Don't judge your failure if your just no good at being a parasite in todays world..
When we die?

Ich habe heute Geburtstag! 26. April ! Und genau an meinem Geburtstag heute vor 25 Jahren hat sich Adrian Borland in Wimbledon das Leben genommen😢 ! Ich habe heute einen Whisky auf ihn getrunken , auf ihn und seine Musik die ihn immer am Leben hält! Ruhe in Frieden Adrian🥀🥃
Hai fatto un gesto bellissimo....Riposa in pace Adrian 💌💌💌
покоится не для него!
он переродился☸️
Such a great song from a great album..
How The Sound never got big in the early 80s is beyond me..
RIP Adrian..
This is definitely the most underrated band in history of music....
one of the best
Panos Liaros agree
100 % Agree with you !
onlyyesterday1967 a really great band .....
+onlyyesterday1967
This is good band & music but imo the most underrated is The Gathering (Dutch band).
When I’m down in it and in real bad shape, I turn to this song time and time again and it continues to save my life.
This song carries a triumphant spirit. The uplifting melodies and Borland's soaring vocals convey a sense of victory and resilience. "Winning" is an emotional anthem that speaks to the indomitable human spirit.
When UA-cam randomly recommends something amazing. 😊
inphanta yes!
Nice right?. Check out "One Millionth Happy Customer" by "Cassandra Complex" and "Soul in Isolation" by "The Chameleons" if ya like this stuff m8!.
Those keyboards and bass is just pure impending doom approaching the coming vocals your way.
love that album cover, daniel in the Lions’ Den
Yes. It has been a powerful painting to me since I bought the album as soon as it came out. For me, lions have been the animal to instil the most fear in me, yet I have always been drawn towards them. I am a Leo and my name, well. Thought your great words deserve a response. Thanks.
My dad had this painting hanging on the wall in his room for a very long time. I clicked on the video because it reminded me about it. And discovered good music. Heh
@@morbidconsperacy5096 that is so amazing to hear about that. I'm guessing that your Dad and I were about the same age he put it up on the wall. It still blows me away. I've got this very deep tie to the painting, the band, the music, the leader Adrian. This band's music is as great as the very best music I've heard. I hope my story will inspire you to keep listening. I have been for about 40 yrs. Thank you for your story
21 years ago we lost Adrian Borland, such precious soul. May he rest in peace. I keep coming back to his songs and discovering their beauty over and over again.
you are absolutely right. It is a pity that they became never famous and not more people discovered this beauty, as you say.
I have no record player anymore but I keep this album forever, just as a memory of this incredible good band.
they are becoming more famous NOW.. slow burner starting to flicker..
C.
What happened to him and in what age?
Bono ?
What holds your hope together,
Make sure it's strong enough
When you reach the end of your tether
It's because it wasn't strong enough,
I was going to drown,
Then I started swimming
I was going down,
Then I started winning
Winning - winning
When you're on the bottom
Crawl back to the top
Something pulls you up,
and a voice you can't stop,
I was going to drown,
Then I started swimming,
I was going down
Then I started winning
Winning - winning
Giselle Martinez thanks for lyrics!
WINNING.... WINNNNIN
@@SylkaChan is that really all you have to say?
My turn!
DONE! Mais uma cumprida ( exatos 3 meses depois- só olhar acima deste comentário)
" Então comecei a nadar, estava me afogando
Então comecei a vencer, vencer e vencer! "
Ich liebe diesen Song, Andy Borland hat mit seiner Band ein Sound eingespielt der unwiederbringlich ist!Genau an dem Tag wo ich 57 werde , hat er sich vor 25 Jahren in Wimbledon das Leben genommen ! Ruhe in Frieden lieber Andy🥀
The Sound are criminally underrated. Adrian Borland's lyrics penetrate so sharply into what living with mental illness is like.
Or living with reflection
I like music that doesn’t sound like the the year it was released.
@virgo gal 1981
@virgo gal you put a question mark at the end. it looked like a question, my dude.

Brilliant album. The Sound are one of the most underrated bands of the 1980s. This album is a masterpiece. From a dark place came great beauty.
Along with The Chameleons
Ditto
Saved my life few times.
This song is the anthem of my life..
Most underrated band EVER!
The saddest and most poignant lyrics, you can hear the pain in his voice. Goosebumps each time.
I'm Portuguese!
Luckily I've found THE SOUND in 1992.
"From the lion's mouth" was (and is) with me in very different phases of my life! (1st love, 1st depression, questionning life, etc)
Just for this... Thank you Borland
I listen to this song everytime I get sad. When my negative thoughts and hopeless despair over takes me. I just keep saying "I'm Winning". I'm not gonna succumb. You're not gonna fuckin bring me down!
I'm with you!
The power of music. Sometimes it's the only thing holding us together
@@hamishmitchell884: ¡ Indeed !
Great band. RIP Mr Borland.
I always find myself drawn to songs like this that talk about depression
That dissonant guitar riff that comes in 0:30 is the brilliance.
Same strange guitar but less speed is placebo ft bowie without you im nothing 🤩
This song has changed me. Thank you.
Damn you are sexy as hell.
Me too
same
I've only just discovered this band and song. It's beautiful
Me too
I'm so grateful for the algorithms that brought me here
This album, this song... has towed me through adolescence, 30 years ago - it’s towing me through the pandemic as we speak 😷 Sisters, brothers....we are winning, Adrian wasn’t... but we, the leftovers, we are !!
Adrian's winning now
@@Joky47 hope so
@@TangentChaos We won !
@@koenamundsen2007 🙌💜
i'm a loser but listening to this album i feel like i'm winning
you'll win...listen to the voice that says you cant stop
Big loser hhhh
Unfortunatelly rel
Give up
You spelled loser correctly ! Most spell it looser !
I first heard this song in early 2022, as I was getting over a major medical scare from the year before and making an effort to get my life in order. It was such a punch to the gut. It became my most listened to song on Spotify that year. I still listen to it occasionally (usually four/five times in a row) just to keep me going and focused. It has a motivational power that very few songs do.
If this isn't the most somber song about getting out of a depression, then I don't know. I love how Adrian Borland made everything that cathartic.
@@davidbeckett3345 He had Schizophrenia....
@@davidbeckett3345 that doesn't mean it won't help others
@@rolyatnad You are right , my stupid comment has been deleted
I view it as the opposite: a futile struggle, a win that wasn't worth it, life that couldn't be fulfilled. That's what the music tells me in conjunction with the lyrics
This album cover alone deserves my like, oh, the song started, im subbed.
I keep replaying this song
This tune is sick and I'm addicted to it 100%
Adrain Borland, not only a great songwriter and singer, but a great guitarist as well.
Classic lp in 1983 classic lp in 2023 .... From criminally underrated SOUND and their criminally underrated lp "Intu the Lions mouth " .... Adrian Borland RIP 😔🙏➕️.
So much emotion. "Something pulls you up..." Amazing.
This sounds like it's from the 90's, not '81. They sound ahead of their time
They were ahaed of their time...with more than a decade, together with the band the opened for on concerts...Joy Division
Truly a band ahead of its time.
I keep hearing this repeatedly for days to reassure myself, but it's just making me cry. (:(
Always coming back to this one 😣
My ears enjoyed this.
I didn't know this band... amazing song!
They sound like the Sound,truly unique and Brilliant.
Great music 1981💓❤️💓❤️💓❤️
this is one of the best songs I've ever heard holy shit I had goose bumps
batboy JESUS CRIST I RECOGNIZE THAT HAND
Klassik 🎶. Grt lp covA.
Omg, I totally forgot about this music, but already with the first sounds I bursted out in tears, so beautiful, so many memories came back from my teens.
On 5 December 1987 I finally could see them, they performed somewhere in the Netherlands.
They played for about twenty minutes and stopped, went backstage.
Then Adrian Borland came back to apologise, they stopped playing forever, they split up that very moment...
Poor guy..
Fuckk
Only just discovered them...where have I been. Such a beautiful song
WOW
Wat een verhaal Astrid.... ik krijg er gewoon kippevel van.... heb hen 2 X kunnen zien in België, 2 maal op Seaside Festival in De Panne aan de kust. Magistraal.....
The most depression song about getting your life together.
Absolute brilliant band , should have been massive, I respect and remember Adrian, a true writer who just couldn't handle real life, I can understand that feeling, I just wish he was still with us
One of the *best* songs ever..
One of the best albums ever
There are no words to describe a masterpiece….!!!
I bless the UA-cam algorithm for this tremendous Reccomendation
🖤from Italy
Absolutely a masterpiece.
That bass line!
The lyrics are so simplistic, yet extremely powerful! Dope band!
Sage comment.
love the ominous undertone, this song always makes me feel like the singer is winning by sacrificing his morals and losing himself as he's "winning", great song.
What a talent Adrian was R.I.P. .......................
Rest in peace dude!
He was 41 years old
i feel something. finally.
i know...right?
Excellent.
Fantastique chanson 😍 très grand groupe 👍 inoubliable 😔
What a great song.
It’s never enough...Melody for the soul...
REST IN PEACE ADRIAN BORLAND - THANKS A LOT FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!!!
Sound was the best band in the 80's . I love them!
Best song by the best rock lyricist EVER...''When you reach the end of your tether...it's because it wasn't strong enough'' Think about this line and tell me otherwise.
Legendary music.
What a masterpiece
I like this song cause it cheers me up when I'm down.
+Alex Roque I like this song cause it brings me down when I'm up. How did I manage to miss this band? I thought I knew them all.
Alex Roque were you going to drown? Did you start swimming?
Same here
Alex Roque seriously me toooo
Totally
Amazing song.
This is the best thing to use 4 minutes and 19 seconds on.
Brilliant song'and best album cover ever!!!
One on my favorite album since 80 years
I can't believe this is from the 80s
This SMELLS like the 80's! It could be almost considered generic 80's "goth music" (not in a bad sense, but it could pretty much sum up the music of a particular 80's scene if you needed to give that impression quickly in a movie or something). Most likely the bands you listen to are not as creative as you thought them to be.
(And that's fine, I'm not judging you. I'm a little high right now and I've spent probably 40 minutes writing and rewriting the comment above so it wouldn't sound mean spirited or anything but I guess it still does a little. Sorry in advance.)
Yeah this is basically every band in the 80's which isn't a bad thing but just the sound of that decade
It has a 80’s sound in a broad sense... but not from 81 if that makes sense. Most music I hear from the 80’s I can usually pinpoint the exact year after hearing it for the first time. This song sounds very ahead of its time.
@@kurtwk I don't really see it. Joy Division had that sound in the late 70's.
Uma banda que nunca teve seu reconhecimento. Muito grande!!
So good...soooo underrated!
THE 80S, WHAT A GREAT DEAL, THANK YOU ❤
Still have it in vinyl...no words to describe this brilliant lp
What holds your hope together
Make sure it's strong enough
When you reach the end of your tether
Because it wasn't strong enough
I was gonna drown
Then I started swimming
I was going down
Then I started winning
Winning - winning
WINNING
When you're on the bottom
Crawl back to the top
Something pulls you up
And a voice says you can't stop
It won't let you stop
I was gonna drown
Then I started swimming
I was going down
But now I started winning
Winning - winning
WINNING!
Winning
I'm winning
Winning
I'm winning
In 2019 01 25 Still inspiration to all of us except 76 dead souls!
I heard The Sound for the first time about two years ago, and it has quickly become one of my favourite bands.This is the first track by them I encountered, I cannot recall how exactly, and I instantly connected. RIP Adrian, shame his arms gave up.
Sadly his head stopped winning, always sad...........
Que música! Isso é arte
The intro could come straight out of a Joy Division song, although his voice reminds me more of Robert Smith of The Cure. But strangely enough there's something unique about this band too.
Great song.
35 years ago !!!!!!!!!!! awesome album !!!! i'm proud to listen this track when come back to the college at this time :) now it's my son :)
The whole album is amazing.
Brings me back to the early 80's.
oposoum the early '80's...music wasteland
+doug marcus
voui ! the the rest of it also .... 90`s also , 2000 `s ? ! forget it ...
+oposoum Fuckin' get me back asap, m8.
What a perfect agony
Really love this band and this song! Very underrated band...
Super Lied! Habe diesen Song in Jungen Jahren sehr oft gehört!!
one of the best songs of all times!!
A great detail of Post Punk bands... The bass sound... Like Joy Division, The Cure, and many more... I Have thought... Why i like me too much the sound of Soul - Funk and Post Punk? The bass sound.
Another underrated band, many thanks internet.
I WAS GOING DOWN THEN I STARTED WINNING, WINNING
Magnificent, still after all these years.
WOW. Thank you for blowing me away while I'm in quarantine. Life is still GOOD!
Love the sound
Only a few of us liked them in 1980-81. We also liked U-2 . When reminded about that I always say The Sound were the better band. They were.
I love the chamaleons, echo and the bunnymen but the sound and joy divison are the best
The Comsat Angels were also a better band than U2.
Don’t know if I agree with that...let me ask.. where are they now?
@@JL-fq3jc strange question given Adrian died by suicide in 99.....
Eleanor Levy
I rest my case
Un grand merci à mon poto Anthony qui m’a fait découvrir ce morceau, il est émotionnellement très puissant, sublime… 🖤
I stand corrected SOUND classic lp "Into the Lions mouth " was released November 1981 😎✌️👍.
Great song!
Immortal!!!... Nothing like this nowadays! 80's in their best!
The Midnight - River of Darkness, ua-cam.com/video/fhQdOlJclZY/v-deo.html
High point in an incredible body that of work; stellar, magnificent song!! Thanks to videos ppl are finally discovering what a few of us knew back then in 81
