In 1998 I was in the West Country from the US, driving around on our honeymoon. Found the Antiquarian book in a London bookstore, and had it out while visiting Avebury. A guy game to our table, amazed that two yutz’ from the US had the book and knew who he was. The guy was going up the road to interview him from a magazine (which one? Dunno?). Thought that would be the the last I’d ever hear from him, so delighted I was wrong. Wish he’d come to the US, I mean once people can fly here again.
julian is one of the most unsung talents outhere,songs are simply so well crafted...he just doesnt get the credit he deserves..huge respect for the man.hope he keeps us entertained for many years to come.
Rarely do we get anywhere close to perfection, love or greatness, Shakespeare, Noel Coward, Oscar Wilde, Dickens or the King James' Bible are a few. Big respect to Calne and the people I met there, they reminded me of the Scots I grew up with and the proper cockneys with whom I became an adult.
Saint Julian!! Beautiful song and awesome clip. The man is so under rated and such a talented soul. People just don't know what they're missing if they've never listened to his music!
Wow. I thought he was completely shot. With that "20 Mothers" album I actually called social services to have Julian sent away to a sanitarium. He was a loon. He was done. But, wow, this version of an oldie is incredible. Voice, passion...it's all there.
Woden plays the guitar, contrary to how others not liking the long hair and beard, I love it! It suits him, in this period of his life. Cool song, too!
Wow, not what I expected him to look like over the years, but what could you expect to expect I guess from him. He sounds great! My nation underground is tops for me.
Nice download great to hear him sing it again ,after the interview he gave in the guardian it sounded like every song he ever did he disliked except reward lol .. But thats j c for you self destructive . but the thing is he is good at what he does singing and entertaining his long suffering fans !!!.
Suddenly I came to my senses a night on fire put out all traces of feeling I'm only concerned with looking concerned I don't want to get my laces burned we talked for hours except for the fainting we seemed so enchanted but now my expression is changing see see for yourself I'm run down by a train I stand back from a shark attack and it's all the same mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again I should have known you'd seek my opinion from all over the country and out to the great dominions careful some of the blunders of history have been made that way I'm still stuck in this pickle jar on a paper carpet mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again mummy I've been fighting again

A haunting track from a God. Big love going out to all Julian Cope and Teardrop fans.

Why does this song always make me cry I wonder? Thanks for posting this raw version.
My pleasure!

You said it, true!
Some songs discover their true power when stripped back. This is one such song. Genius.
Huge emotion through that seemingly ageless voice. Poignant, melancholy, fabulous. A massively underrated English artist.
One of my favourite songs of his and this is a great performance...
The man has an incredible gift for melodies. I haven't heard this song in ages. What a lovely and intimate version.
40 years old and still sounds fresh - and the time has just hit me and made me choke up like he does at the end.
I hate to be 'that guy', but Julian Cope is much, much older than forty.
Groan!@@nodiggity9472
@@nodiggity9472He may have intended the song's age

I saw him live here in Dublin last night.
I'll keep my review short.
Fuckin brilliant.
This dudes a fkn legend. Beautiful track, i must say x
Amazing. I love Julian so much. Makes me cry. In a wonderful way.
@kali mali Life makes us lose our softness as we get older (i'm 48), but music like this helps us tune back in to our true spirit. Peace and love.x
This is one of the songs of my life. Love it.

Looks older but still sounds young. Great voice.
Great song from the 1980s equally relevant now. Genius songwriter for all ages.!!
Thank you. One of the best presents I've received. And from a complete stranger, too
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Joseph S Furey The Laughing Boy and Search Party are my all time favourite tracks. The Laughing Boy wins it by a narrow .
Wow. I really thought he hated everything he ever did. This is from quite possibly the greatest pop/rock album ever made. Thanks for posting!
Yes, Wilder is an incredible album. My top 3 are Revolver, London Calling, and Wilder!
@Swotzky. Stroll On!
@Fjodor Garrincha Never has an album grown on me more than Wilder!
sublime, his voice is beautiful.
Timeless JC 🎤🙏
Legend. Thanks for posting, Rafa. Cheers to Julian Cope fans!
Thanks for enjoying that. I had so much fan that moment!
Lovely music thanks for posting Rafa!!
Martin!!! how are you, mi amigo? I hope to see you soon! All the best! :-)
Magic. Cope sounds choked up at the end. This song has great emotional power. The man is a master. Thanks so much for posting.
I don't think he's been coked up since the early 90s.
Thank You mr Rafa Skam...most beatiful !!
I love this song I always have,it's deep
One of the best & most unique voices in rock music!! A classic!! Thanks for uploading!!
The man's still got it.
Love you Copey x
Nice one mate. Thank you.

Woden plays the guitar, contrary to how others not liking the long hair and beard, I love it! It suits him, in this period of his life. Cool song, too!
Great perform !!

Thank you!!!
Brilliant.
I so love his voice....... he's amazing

To know him is to love him.

Talent right there!
Just beautiful...I loved that he destroyed his potential pop star image in The Teardrop Explodes.
Amazing output since.
Wow, not what I expected him to look like over the years, but what could you expect to expect I guess from him. He sounds great! My nation underground is tops for me.
Greatness.
Tell Julian we think he's Lovely! ! 💞💞💞
A Musical genius
Good clip, man. Cheers!!!
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it! ;)

Jeff Bridges. This is the young guy who sung Passionate Friend way back in the days of Invisible Sun and Prince Charming.
was at the show in Dublin at the weekend i,ll second that "fucking brilliant" review.
This really has that "guy busts out a guitar in a bedroom at a house party" feel to it.
Great!
Actually greater than great, and thanks for uploading!
74santafe
thanks for enjoying it! it was greater than great, as you say! ;)
The best concerts Ive ever seen have all involved Julian Cope. Flawed maybe but genius for sure
Mummy I've been fighting again
Thanks for clearing that up; I always thought he was singing "farting".
Don't like the beard, never liked his long hair BUT love his music with a passion and think this vocal performance is superb!!!
Who cares if he has a fucking beard or not
Was that really necessary? Think.
Cool NEU! shirt brah
He's too handsome to hide behind all that hair!
I wish he'd collaborate with Andy Patridge. That would be interesting!
Suddenly
I came to my senses
a night on fire
put out
all traces of feeling
I'm
only concerned with
looking concerned
I don't want to get my laces burned
we talked for hours
except for the fainting
we seemed so enchanted
but now
my expression is changing
see
see for yourself I'm
run down by a train
I stand back from a shark attack
and it's all the same
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
I should have known
you'd seek my opinion
from all over the country
and out
to the great dominions
careful
some of the blunders of history
have been made that way
I'm still stuck in this
pickle jar
on a paper carpet
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
mummy I've been fighting again
I love Julian songs so much....but what is this surprising look. Looks like an Hell Angels rider look.
LIKE
That's not Cope, it's some bloke.
Take a shave cope
That's four yeses Julian you're through to the next round.
La voce e' proprio la sua dei vecchi tempi, ma.. ecco... cosi' a vederlo mi mette in imbarazzo. Scusatemi. Poi ci sono altre canzoni in cui e' proprio troppo sboccacciato, e non c'ero abituato... fra noi alternativi con la bocca sciacquata si ammiravano prodotti artistici lessicalmente ''puliti''...
wtf
Greatness.
