This song is what got me into Lush. I was watching MTV at like 1 A.M. This song/video came on. I watched it with my jaw dropped to the floor. Then proceeded to go out and buy every CD Lush had out at the time, the next day. Been a fan ever since.
rush thatspeaks good memories man =`(
Just watched a bunch of youtube videos of thier live tour last year...good stuff
Same here. This was 2016, but, better late than never eh. Incredible band! And so sad about Chris not sticking around anymore...
Same here. This song opened the doors to this dreamy world.
@@christiangranum7387 I saw what would become his last show. So sad.
At whatever point in life you discover Lush, consider yourself lucky. Truly a gem from a better age in music. I remember first listening to Gala in 1991 or so, and was blown away. Been a fan ever since.
Just found them... Great point friend
@@acesing0987 Also just found them -- they were off my radar 30 years ago -- and I'm simply blown away.
Just discovered them. Somehow off my radar all those years ago. Love what I'm hearing. And love what I'm seeing in the exotic, enchanting Miki Berenyi.
Only found them last year. 100% agree. Now off to spend my money on a vinyl of Spooky...
RIP Chris the drummer. I met him in a nightclub in London in the early 90s. Great guy, such a sad loss
Indeed a sad loss. This and Laura from Spooky along with Deluxe is some of his best drumming with Lush.
@@TXMusicDrummer Made that 9/8 and 6/8 groove.
Their key changes and chord progressions send chills down my spine. I remember tearing up when I first heard them. The melodies did something to me. It's simultaneously intense, aggressive and also beautifully haunting.
Wonderfully stated. Intense, aggressive and haunting. Still blows my mind that someone came up with this.
These ladies know their music theory.
Credit to the bassist, too.
That vocal harmony...
Many a Walkman battery gave it's life so I could listen to this song over and over again.
... gave its* life (it's = it is)
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Thank you, I'll defiantly remember that :p
This can't get anymore 90's. I feel like I'm living inside a Greg Araki film. I will NEVER NOT love this!
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Lush and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
That's why British Bands are way ahead over their American counterparts, especially Innovating Rock music, from psychedelic, Punk, Heavy Metal, New Wave, Post Punk, Indie rock and Shoegaze
That was the sweetest thing I've ever read on UA-cam, especially how bad things are right now over here , bad times indeed for us all , ya gave me a little pride back , inner peace , stay safe.
@@kanedasrifle aw hunn, turn off the tv, it ain't doing you any favours x
Couldn't agree more as an American. Thank God for British bands!!!!!!
Why must you all always disrespect and discredit Foundational BLACK AMERICANS, AFTER ALL WE CREATED ROCK N ROLL, and
without us NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EXISTED ! So show your forever gratitude towards us.
rock n roll jazz blues hip hop dj's rnb soul Funk House music techno all come from My people. Music would Not be the same without us period.
so thats nice to show love for british people
But dont EVER FORGET Where and What group started this ENTIRE GENRE.
Me in the world
Losing tears, shedding fears
Strain for the sun
Make you run, make you come
You don't know
You don't know
I'm in my home
All the time, on my own
Low finger fine
Take what's mine, from behind
You don't know
You don't know
It's not there
You don't care
You're still inside of me
Beneath the cotton core
My pictures smile at me
And soon they'll rise and soar
Fill up my space
Turn around, fade and trace
Be absolute
Blue and white, fatal fruit
She nylon smile
Full of lies, shining eyes
Cover my grin
Take a chance, maybe win
It's not there
It's not fair
You don't know
You don't care
gorgeous, ethereal vocals and guitars...
The sound just takes you where you want to be. There's no explaining it. Another masterpiece from 4AD.
No one else has written music like Emma Anderson.
exactly !
Her first solo album next friday!!!!!!!!!!
Which one's Emma

I had heard Nothing Natural on 120 Minutes earlier in 1992. So I bought Spooky at the Riverwalk Mall while I was visiting New Orleans that summer in 1992. That day was the first day I heard Superblast! Such sentimental memories. 1992 was one of the best years ever for music.
This is so effing dope. Please take me back to the 90's.
When it comes down to the most elementary level, this band just sounds so good.
I love how the bass drops into the song. Very cool. And the harmonizing. Wow. What a shame they don't make bands like this anymore.
they do, they're just hard to find
its a shame this band didn't have better financial success.
and I do feel shamed. if I coulda I woulda.
this song is about ghosting...the term wasn't really widely mentioned to the effect that it is in this generation...but the shift continues...classics and gems like this one...have such beautiful timbres and harmonies, with cryptic lyrics that leave a sense of longing for love, wanting/wishing for more...only denying the evident...travesty shoegaze...forever....approximately.....forever
Pretty sure Miki once said this song is about Tampax.
it's about wearing a wig on a night out
shoegaze was before the emo scene.
Ultimate Lush. This song just blew me away on College radio. Boston. Here I am at 66yrs old. Hearing it again.
I played Lush a lot when I dj'd on our college radio station. Arkansas. Lush still blows me away.
Haunting chill giving vocals. beautiful poetic lyrics. So underrated this band.
Rediscovering Lush in 2024, am reminded how great they were. Truly underrated at the time. LUSH FOREVER!!!
The harmonies and creative bass lines with its peculiar pedal tone effect sounds like something Debussy could have composed. Very artistic.
i know what you mean
You have very good ears
Emma was a truly exceptional songwriter, shame she never got more recognition.
Debussy would have been a shoegaze musician if he was of that time
are you aware of how much Art of Noise literally worshipped Debussy?
Her voice is striking.
30 years on and I'm totally back in love with Lush again.
Just a great 90's band.
Miki is so amazing looking in this one
I'm sure this song was a hit on other planets.
Great
it peaked at no.1 on the moon
i know I am kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Trey Zaire i watch on flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Rayan Heath Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)
The most beautiful soundtrack to getting a speeding ticket
The legend lives on. Thank you Lush.
There's something about that bass that makes the song. Beautiful.
My favorite Lush tune, great video too capturing the essence of the band. One of the better tunes out of the 90's.
If ever a band was underrated due to their sorta alternate/ indie-esque ledgend its this band. This is one of 3 songs from this album that almost tear my heart out and make me yearn for 1994 again. I find it so hard to listen to it, i know its a bit unhealthy but i just hate that life isnt as it was when i was 18...
Are the others 'Tiny Smiles' and 'Fantasy'? Perhaps also Monochrome...
There are a lot of shoegaze/dreampop/post-punk/britpop bands that came out of the 90s, but IMHO I think Lush excelled at creating a sonic atmosphere of glorious ethereal angst that was catchy, haunting and memorable that made them the top of their genre. We needed more from them, but I am grateful for what they gave us.
Goodness I'm just crazy for LUSH ! And listening to this, why not????
I was actually at the concert at the Glasgow Uni QMU venue where a lot of this video was filmed!
should have a billion views
Well if there was youtube back in the 90s, it would have.
a trillion !!!!!!!!!
999 trillion views
Lush is the band that allowed me to make it though my time in the military. It is a shame that I never got the chance to see them live.
did i ever want to see them live. my stomach still gnaws to see them live.
The best band ever. Looking forward to seeing them in Chicago in September.
love the close ups of the band members at the end of the clip
This is the most shoegaze song ever made. Love it. Also, lots of inverted chords, the bass is all over the wall of sound.
Great song but not shoegaze.
@@TheMusicalElitist it's shoegaze. But believe what you want, wont discuss (incredibly pointless).
@@TheMusicalElitistit’s definitely Shoegaze
@@Trxxytd Sounds like a rock band to me.
so fabulous a track , I can't help but Wish to see them play this LIVE !
A unique and heavenly sounding harmony. .
The outro is incredible
Always coming back to it ❤on my list of the best songs ever
same
Same.
An amazing track from an incredible band from a much simpler time...
The energy I get from this song is high vibrational and ethereal ❤️🔥🎸
The world needs more Lush copycats. I'm so glad I got to spend my youth listening to this band. Magic.
You might like Warpaint.
there's a significant part of me that would love to do a Lush cover band. I keep thinking about getting a 12 string Gibson or Rickenbacker. then I'd need all those pedals.... but that's what it takes to play like Mikki.
Deluxe was the tune that turned me on to Lush. I ran out and got Gala which turned out to be a bit of a compilation of EPs, I think. There was a song on there called Downer that sounds like a precursor to Superblast! I go back and forth trying to figure out which I like better. They both rock. They both trip. God, I miss this band.
Wow. Just wow. Ethereal, enchanting ...
Can't believe I saw Lush about 23 years ago! Great small venue
A song that will make you instantly fall in love with Shoegaze! Long live LUSH !
The Best music. This is my trip to another galaxy!!!
This is such an awesome song. Emma's song writing is brilliant. This is a Pandora find for me and I am totally blown away by this band! :)
God I love this band.
Saw them at Lolla in '92-Mountain View, CA. Fan ever since!
Saw them live in 1992 at Lolapalooza in Barrie Ontario Canada !
Nothing sounded like this or made you feel the same way as this......it’s like a Cure like effect but it’s much more beautiful than the Cure and more shimmery. It elevates
Robert Smith probably wishes he could be this feminine with his music.
This for me is just everything great about the 90s
What a discovery! Straight to my Spotify!
Una gran banda!!
Absolutely glorious
Sigh… I listen to this song and it takes me right back to my university days in the early 90s. Back to a time when I felt confident, indestructible, energetic. A time where I could do anything and everything was possible. It all feels like such a distant memory, but hearing the music takes me back to those good times.
That makes me sound like a right miserable old fart! My life is pretty good, to be fair. I’m still young in my head, my eyes and ears still work pretty well, even if the rest of me doesn’t, and I’m married to an amazing woman, have fantastic kids and grandkids, a job I really enjoy, a flash car to indulge my midlife crisis and a home in a really nice area. And on top of that, I was young when music like this was happening. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky, but I’m bloody glad I did it!
I love lush! They are one of my favorites!
omfggg this band melts me
One my favourites such a dreamy tune 🥰❤️
Lush is dreamy everything.
Damn their harmonies are legendary ❤
Can't believe they got back together!!! Got tickets to see them in Sept. in NYC!!! :)
I already saw them thrice this year. Can't have enough.
What happy news!
I hate that I don't hear about stuff like this. life gives me a second chance and I still miss out.
Discovered this band after reading interviews with Peter Steele in the 90’s.
Absolutely wicked! So much intense, powerful guitar noise combined with lovely melody and harmony. Glad to hear they have reformed, along with Slowdive.
When listening to this song I can hear where Soundpool may have got their inspiration from. Different production and guitar styling but similar vocal melodies.
Now that would be a great concert lush and slowdive (: That would be too Awesome (:
I really like Lush, and I hope they come back together and play, I wanna see them..
Saw them in concert last year and it was AMAZING
the sound takes me to havana at night in the early 60 s ...amazing !!!
Something about that sound at 1:30 just tickles my brain in the right way
Nostalgic for Lush and man, Miki was SO cool in EVERY FKN Way!
we really want to, but it's going to take a while... locating masters and that kind of thing.
Please I need Lush on CD bad.
ok its been 11yrs. and how do I get a cd?
I was fortunate to see them live. Back at the second Lollapalooza tour(1992) Micki rules!
No pueden más! Los 90s la mejor década musical por lejos
4AD folks, are there any plans to release remasters of all Lush albums? This needs to happen!
it’s happening this month
I'm down for a remastered complete compilation.
I was so lucky to see Lush in 1992.
Saw Weezer open for them in 1994. Lush was absolutely mesmerizing
I was so lucky to see them in Lollapalooza 92 with J&MC!
I saw the in 92 with the Flaming Lips. Good times.
Fantastic Band.
Right around 3:54 there's a shot of Chris that looks like a silent scream, it makes me sad
Michael Reinhardt I know exactly what you mean. :(
Michael Reinhardt I know exactly what you mean. :(
RIP, Chris.
2:45-2:47 Miki turns back to Chris and then smiles/laughs about something, also poignant
I get absolutely lost in this song. It's probably my favorite.
Think I like 'Deluxe' slightly better, but that might just be me...😬
4AD....the mark of excellence!
Both of the ladys are beautiful I want to tell them that they are so cool I like their energy and Vibe wich alot of people dont see but I love their style and Music very beautiful voices ❤
Pure Bliss.
One of a kind. No doubt. ❤
Definitely a top 3 Lush song for me
Love you Miki 😍😍😍
I saw them a couple of times in the early 90s including their stint on the main stage of Lollapalooza. I always fantasized about Miki finding me in the audience and then proposing marriage. Ha! What a dork I was. I love this band and they fit great in my little shoegaze/dreampop/space rock library.
What a great band. I found them way to late. Found them because I’m a fan of School of Seven Bells, a fantastic little known band.
miki's memoir is awesome! an amazing life.
lush at their best. I miss this band
It was a golden time that I sincerely miss.
Great band. Still listening to them.
brilliant
cocteau twins with attitude!
David Alderson It was Robin Guthrie's production. The similarities are definitely there.....
+David Alderson like if Cocteau Twins doesn't had it. They were just different. Really different.
@@jawoody9745 The production was so important with this sound, I remember there were problems with Split's dynamics initially - a different producer Mike Hedges - and it was later remixed by Alan Moulder (MBV, Curve, Swervedriver and Ride).
Miki famously went extra mean girl on Liz Frazer back in the day calling her fat. Ah youth....
I love this cut! Awesome.
Greatest! Lush in their prime.
I need more bands like this in my life
There are no other bands like this.

@@travisjones8481 Slowdive
I wish I could be in front of one of their tour stages again (I saw them first in '91, Steve was still in the band).
