They opened up at Lollapalooza 1992, and I felt really bad for them at the end of their set. The crowd was still funneling in and not showing a whole lot of enthusiasm, and Miki said after their last song, "Thanks Dallas, it's been very time-consuming!"
I saw them open at Albany in 92 and they were awesome there! I actually didn’t know much about them prior to that show - bought their CDs on campus that fall.
Saw the show in Pittsburgh, not knowing anything about them, and I was hooked immediately. I owned Gala within the week. I thought the crowd was perfectly friendly toward them.
Yeah, I saw them for that tour in Minnesota. My friends and I arrived early as they were one of the bands we wanted to see most. They were very appreciative and played a great show!
and in Toronto (Barrie) - they started the pit in broad daylight - it was awesome. i only watched a couple of Chili tunes and took a time out during Ice Cube. the rest was in the pit from Lush to Ministry
This was mostly due to the production work of Robin Guthrie who produced them to the album Spooky (1991). Their sound changed dramatically on the later records which in my opinion had somewhat lost the magic
Tulipe Noire true. i think they had to intentionally bring down that 'magic' to a certain level so as to appeal to the mainsream audience. I guess they werent really that popular....which is a fucking shame if you ask me.
Agreed. And until recently, thanks to the internet, I never knew the words. Not that it matter to me at all. The "heavenly" and "ethereal" sound was so awesome, I didn't even care what she was singing. The lyrics dance lightly atop the wall of sound and they almost might have been in another language.
Back in the day people thought they were somehow less than MBV and Slowdive, but these guys -- specifically this song -- were my introduction to shoegaze. It was Lush who got me hooked and I will always love them.
@@montyryan3018 yeah i enjoy listening to Lush way more than Slowdive and I think Slowdive is really good. Lush seems a little more diverse and I just enjoy their overall sound better.
Oh gawd I have it too. Those damn little in the ear headphones are awful. The old ones from the 70's that were padded and went Around your ears instead of Inside them- I wish I would've stuck with them, the sound is better as well as being safer. I *ucking hate tinnitus. My ears ring loudly 24 hrs a day. I miss quiet... The little sounds you hear when it's quiet like birds... your own heartbeat... All the little sounds... I miss quiet. I miss the 90's too
My God.....I love this song! When I was kid I would put my headphones on and just chill to this song with my eyes closed. The world faded away for a few minutes and a sense of peace washed over me. It still has that effect on me after all these years.
I was 29 when this came out but felt like you did. After a long day at work I'd put this on and just chill out. My daughter turned 10 that year and became a Lush fan in her teens. We both still love this song at 59 and almost 40.
already. 30 years flashing by. saw them live with Pale Saints in April 90. son't seem to remember a thing. must have been the reverb causing my brain storage to run behind in I/O
Saw then a Sheffield Poly supported by spitfire in 1990. I kind of remember it was brilliant. I think. Christ, it was before the internet was invented!
I had completely forgotten about this song, but clicked on it because the thumbnail looked like something I might like. The music starts and I think "Hey, this does sound pretty good". Then 00:19 hits and my brain says "Holy shit. I remember this song, and I especially remember that guitar lick." I was 12 when this was released. Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug when it really hits you hard, and I'm ecstatic that this song is back in my life.
I never even cared what the lyrics were. It was so beautiful a song! I did recently look at them, but I just loved how Miki's voice just seemed to float on the wall of sound.
In early 1991 I walked into a record store (kids, ask your parents) and the in-store audio was playing this beautiful, ethereal, yet driving track...I'd never heard anything like it. I asked the store clerk what he was playing and he said it was a song called "Sweetness and Light" by a band called Lush. I remember thinking how apt a band name that was, as it encapsulated their sound perfectly. I left that store with a cassette of their album Gala and I've been a shoegaze and dream pop fan ever since.
A little slice of heaven: A warm summer day, California's Pacific Coast Highway, and my '72 Olds Delta 88 convertible with Lush's greatest hits blaring out of the speakers.
Christopher O. Indeed - quite a beautiful slice of Heaven.... I'm can see you enjoying this on the road. I was listening to this driving north in the countryside up to Liverpool a month and a half ago, in bright afternoon sunlight.
Vivid memories of Lollapalooza 1992, walking up to the crest of the bowl at Molson Park in Barrie and seeing this bright red hair guiding a giant mass of thousands, swelling and moshing like it was a singular entity... my life was forever changed. It's now over 20 years on and the power of what I witnessed hasn't faded either.
I was at Lollapalooza 1992 in Saratoga (SPAC). I was there for Lush and Ministry, everyone else was there for goddam RHCP. Lush looked so lonely up there early in the day with the indoor part of the amphitheater largely empty.
Grant F Amazing how I have the exact same memory. I was 17 and took my first road trip with my friends from Timmins to Barrie, for me primarily to see Lush. Not only were they the first band on stage that gorgeous sunny day, they were literally the first live band I ever saw. Miki's flowing red hair flowing in the summer breeze is a memory that will stay with me for life.
I was at the infamous 1992 Lollapalooza Jones Beach, New York. You know the lineup: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush. Wow...the best bill of any gig in history. Lush played first (loved them) and then a flash hurricane blew in and trashed the whole stage. Concert cancelled! I paid a scalper $400 for two great seats and all I saw was Lush! Scalpers don't give refunds. Four hundred bucks to see a twenty minute set by Lush. I was called a Lollapa-loser by everyone that week.
Ah, the algorithm has noticed my love for British shoegaze. Songs like this helped me get through the early '90s. Those chord changes still make me melt. Thanks Emma!
Met my wife of 24 years at First Avenue Mpls with Lush, This Picture and James. Got in in for $1.04 for a radio promo in 1993. Thanks KJ104 you are gone but not forgotten!
God I love this band so much. This album was just perfect, kicking off the 90s, encapsulating those heady years in texture and in tone. Pure and simple: I hear it, I exult.
I hear it in this order: See my life (I've been so tired) See my self (I've been uptight) See my life (I've been so tired) See my sight (I could disappear) See with you memories fading fast And with you it's never going to last You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise See with you I never seemed to look the other way Only to stay, only to breathe Only to see That space and light is what I really need You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise I never wanted to tell lies You are the sweetness in my eyes You are the sweetness in my eyes You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise You are the juice I need for life You are the sweetness in my eyes
See my life (I've been so tired) See my self (I've been uptight) See my life (I've been so tired) See my sight (I could disappear) See with you memories fading fast And with you it's never going to last You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise See with you I never seemed to look the other way Only to stay, only to breathe Only to see That space and light is what I really need I never wanted to tell lies You are the sweetness in my eyes You are the juice I need for life You are the sweetness in my eyes
120 minutes at midnight was the time for me This music made me want to move to England One of the best eras of music ever My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Swerve Driver, Moose, Slowdive, Ride, Stone Roses, The Verve
@@GertVeltink my local AOR (album oriented rock) FM station here on the east coast of the states played the program "Rock Over London"...which was basically an essential alternative/mainstream British top 40. Great for us Americans who got tired of the same ol' sometimes stale format.
When Ivo was still at the helm. I think he's gone now. I checked-out the 4AD website a couple of months ago, found a ton of new bands but could not find anything I could relate to. A shame for what was once a great label. I think their last great signing might have been St Vincent but she's moved on now... and become a not very good pop star. On the subject of 'marrow', look-up St Vincent 'Marrow'
Never let Lush die. Maybe they were flawed. I guess so. But still, I am listening. Their music makes my eyes roll back in my head. It lifts me off earth. There are rises of power, moments of incredible beauty, power, lust, truth, sorrow. Mostly beauty.
You're so lucky! I first discovered Lush RIGHT AFTER they had already left the Bay Area on that tour. (I think I read a review in the Daily Cal or something.) I didn't get to see them until they played at Slim's on the Spooky tour the following year.
after college in florida a headhunter offered me my dream job in the bay area so i relocate from the east coast to the west...after being denied a day off i compromised & offered to work a half day so i could still make the show...that was denied as well so i walked! i quit a WELL PAYING JOB in silicon valley during the infancy of the computer revolution all just to see LUSH perform outdoors in Union Square for free...the early 90's in NorCal were epic! #ZeroRegrets
@@erilaz7i caught them at Slim's as well, numerous times in fact...tbh i can't recall the exact number of their shows i attended my first was at the Roxy when they opened for RIDE literally on day 1 as a resident of california
@@ghop09er I have my concert-going pretty well documented, so I can confidently state that in addition to the April 1992 Slim's show, I saw them twice at the Fillmore in 1996 and then at the Warfield on the 2016 reunion tour. I also saw the Miki Berenyi Trio at the Great American Music Hall this June, where I got Miki to sign her book for me! ❤ I recently looked through Lush's gig history to try to figure out which San Francisco shows I missed back in the day and why. Some of the gaps were easy to explain (I missed them at Slim's in July 1992 because I was on vacation in Germany, at the Fillmore in August 1994 because I was at a conference in Washington, DC), but others were inexplicable. Why didn't I see them at Bottom of the Hill in June 1994? Sure, I was deep in debt and low on cash in those days, but a show like that would only have cost around $15, and I nevertheless managed to see Nina Hagen, Milla (Jovovich), Shonen Knife, Tori Amos, Stereolab, and X later that summer. Maybe I just didn't find out about it in time. ???
I remember when my older brother showed me this when I was a still just a kid in the 90s. It blew my mind and became my favorite band for most of my teenage years. Will never forget this song. The video is super cool too!
Wow...I was into Death, Kreator, Slayer, and Deicide at the time. I'm now 41 and discovering Lush just now. I love them...simple guitars, great bass lines and vocals that altogether just make you feel good. Great band!
I bought Gala when I was an 18 year old kid in 1990. I had just gotten to college as a freshman never had lived away from home. Used to chill out in my dorm room to this song. Still brings back alot of memories for me.
I remember seeing them w I was 16 in Highschool. And I met them @ Bayside Market Place in MiaMi. It was Lollapalooza 92". I recently went to Rough Trade for Miki Berenyi's book signing for Fingers crossed. And I told her the story of skipping school that day to see them because they were on in the beginning. She was so sweet then & now . Ty Miki
My god, how l miss music like this, a beautiful harmony with dancy baggy drums, great keyboard and bass sound but overseen by the jingle jangle guitar tune. A great time for fans of music from bands.
MaskedMan66. took the words right outa my brain,cocteau twins do the same thing,wish we could all get together and jam while listening to this music,how cool would that be?
Whoever made this video for Lush did a great job. So many layers of images and unique colors stacked on top of one other. This took many hours to put together, especially since it was done nearly 30 years ago. Brilliant work musta cost a pretty penny.
this song saved my sanity, kept my hope intact every morning in a state of total desperation I'd hit "shuffle" on my pod and it always came first; it was weird but then i realized it was the voice of the spark of life saying "don't give up"
See my life (I've been so tired) See myself (I've been uptight) See my life (I've been so tired) See my sight (I could disappear) See with you Memories fading fast And with you It's never going to last You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise See with you I never seemed to look the other way Only to stay, only to breathe, only to see That space and light is what I really need You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise I never wanted to tell lies You are the sweetness in my eyes You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise You are the juice I need for life You are the sweetness in my eyes
even now after all these years and in such hard times....still sounds wonderful and wish i could go back to that place....hey ho 60 years and still loving that song x
Saw them half a dozen times, including first Canadian appearance at Lee's Palace in Toronto in 90... got to speak with then after the show... incredible performance. As were the other times I saw them over the next few years....
Loved this record in 1990, love it more in 2024 😊
Curve, Slowdive, Ride, Lush, all excellent. Back to the nineties for me please.
Don't forget My Bloody Valentine
Catherine Wheel and Swervedriver, too 🍻
Curve and Lush perhaps
Saw them both during the summer of '92. Awesome shows, especially Curve.
Let’s not leave out The Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil
They opened up at Lollapalooza 1992, and I felt really bad for them at the end of their set. The crowd was still funneling in and not showing a whole lot of enthusiasm, and Miki said after their last song, "Thanks Dallas, it's been very time-consuming!"

Saw them that year at Lollapalooza in Irvine and Miki made a similar snarky comment there too.
Yeah, I saw them for that tour in Minnesota. My friends and I arrived early as they were one of the bands we wanted to see most. They were very appreciative and played a great show!
and in Toronto (Barrie) - they started the pit in broad daylight - it was awesome. i only watched a couple of Chili tunes and took a time out during Ice Cube. the rest was in the pit from Lush to Ministry
Listened to this song when I was 19 and I’m 53 now and this song still blows my mind 🤙🏽
Me too brother 👍🏿
Discovered them 11 years ago or so, it wasn't a "stage", this music will stay with me forever
You are not the only one
shit, exactly the same here... Was my first CD ever!
If the internet has one redeeming feature, it's so we can hear great music like this again.
Absolutely 👍❤️
True. Still glad I have the CD I purchased back in '92.
Yes!
I was gonna say yes but someone said it before me.
They sound like angels.
They look like angels too
This statement just made me think that yes if there were a Heaven this is what angels would sound like
because they are
I think the sound an angel would make is pretty subjective to the individual.
Yes, Kate Boston...if Angel's had formed a band...this could be the result.
Lush is just simply intangible..... ethereal. Their sound is heavenly.
nice choice of words: heavenly and ethereal. This tranquility makes you fall asleep
This was mostly due to the production work of Robin Guthrie who produced them to the album Spooky (1991). Their sound changed dramatically on the later records which in my opinion had somewhat lost the magic
Tulipe Noire true. i think they had to intentionally bring down that 'magic' to a certain level so as to appeal to the mainsream audience. I guess they werent really that popular....which is a fucking shame if you ask me.

one modern band that is similar to LUSH is NO JOY. i love shoegaze.
One of the most underrated bands ever.

Mike that sucks really these guys have been around long than Slowdive yet Slowdive gets all the praise
@@montyryan3018 yeah i enjoy listening to Lush way more than Slowdive and I think Slowdive is really good. Lush seems a little more diverse and I just enjoy their overall sound better.
Pale shadow of "Cocteau twins" and no more....
Not underrated at all. Played Lolla. Was on the 4AD label. Not underrated. Learn the definition of underrated, then comment.
Perfect, even after 32 years.
I gave myself tinnitus listening to this album on headphones back in the day. And I have no regrets!
What a glorious way for your ear drums to d13, I salute 🫡 you
😭😭😭😱
Gala is a great album.
Oh gawd I have it too. Those damn little in the ear headphones are awful. The old ones from the 70's that were padded and went Around your ears instead of Inside them- I wish I would've stuck with them, the sound is better as well as being safer.
I *ucking hate tinnitus. My ears ring loudly 24 hrs a day. I miss quiet... The little sounds you hear when it's quiet like birds... your own heartbeat... All the little sounds... I miss quiet. I miss the 90's too
I joined the club 10 years ago
I was born in 2004. Yet I found this song amazing and hypnotizing.
1900's song really had something.
There's no one like Miki Berenyi. Absolutely amazing artist musician
Except Emma
@@f.w.2054
I♥Emma
I think her looks probably helped
there is beabadoobee
there is beabadoobee
Yup. This still hits that part of my brain that makes it light up with joy.
When you have friends you love deeply, this is that quietly beautiful tribute.

@@Rauoul right there with you lads
I'm assuming you folks are into Cocteu Twins as well.
1990, Freshman year in HS....Lush had a solid spot on my life's soundtrack.
This song is 30 years old. Holy moly
fuckin hell, but it is still ace
That means I was 18 when it was released... where did it go?
already. 30 years flashing by. saw them live with Pale Saints in April 90. son't seem to remember a thing. must have been the reverb causing my brain storage to run behind in I/O

This song is a place, a person, a feeling, an object that I had but lost. The lyrics are some of the best I’ve heard.

Those were the days with My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Ride, Slowdive, Xymox & Co. Great music, great times, great years - life was good.
***** werent xymox releasing bollocks like Metamorphosis around this time?
+Cocteau Twins. Was too young to grow up with it but I can appreciate it as someone who loves good music.
YC BC indeed
Don't forget Curve and Chapterhouse
Music is still here, and so are we. Life is good.
This is one of those songs that you don't want to end.
Words cannot describe my love for this album.
A little slice of heaven:
A warm summer day, California's Pacific Coast Highway, and my '72 Olds Delta 88 convertible with Lush's greatest hits blaring out of the speakers.
I would never do something as perverse as driving a car, but that does not mean that I do not know exactly what you mean ;)
Christopher O. Indeed - quite a beautiful slice of Heaven.... I'm can see you enjoying this on the road. I was listening to this driving north in the countryside up to Liverpool a month and a half ago, in bright afternoon sunlight.
Your life sounds way cooler than mine.
till it overheats
I feel you bro.. Try jamming to it on the Istanbul - Bosphorus, chilling on a sunday dawn, after a beautiful techno night.. driving ;)

It's now over 20 years on and the power of what I witnessed hasn't faded either.
I was there (Dallas Show). Took a 4-square of Orange Sunshine, and enjoyed what is, to this day, one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen.
I was at Lollapalooza 1992 in Saratoga (SPAC). I was there for Lush and Ministry, everyone else was there for goddam RHCP. Lush looked so lonely up there early in the day with the indoor part of the amphitheater largely empty.

Hero** and shoegaze... (back when it was called hypnotic and ethereal) "2 great things that go great together!"
Emma, we'll never thank you enough for this song.
In 2065 this will still be epic. And a visual feast. My god they were good. RIP Chris. You beautiful human.
Met my wife of 24 years at First Avenue Mpls with Lush, This Picture and James. Got in in for $1.04 for a radio promo in 1993. Thanks KJ104 you are gone but not forgotten!
Lush's first couple albums always make me think of a thousand years in the future.
They wrote hypnotic stuff.... I loved their music and for me it came at the absolute right time.
Was lucky to catch them live in Chapel Hill, NC in the early 90's. Great show.
Wishing they’d come back so I can see them 😢
Lush "Sweetness and Light" should have 200 million views of which 10,000 would be mine alone. Ah so good 32 years later. Too too good
God I love this band so much. This album was just perfect, kicking off the 90s, encapsulating those heady years in texture and in tone. Pure and simple: I hear it, I exult.
This song quickly transports back to my boyhood every single time
Takes me back to college when I first heard it as they opened for Jane's Addiction.
This has a ethereal sound that carries me away.
what a confection. like a cherry cordial. I love the texture. the sweetness sticks in my throat.
Heard this song @ a Sheetz ⛽ station today, was as magical as it was when Gala & Spooky came out
This song is emotionally overwhelming for me
It brings you right into an unhealthy relationship full of accusations.
LYRICS
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my self (I've been uptight)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my sight (I could disappear)
See with you memories fading fast
And with you it's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe
Only to see
That space and light is what I really need
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the juice I need for life
You are the sweetness in my eyes

All I'm going to say is... The TITLE OF THE F**KING SONG! "you are the/my sweetness and my light?" -- it's in the title. srsly.

Thank you

This band makes life worth living.
120 minutes at midnight was the time for me This music made me want to move to England One of the best eras of music ever My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Swerve Driver, Moose, Slowdive, Ride, Stone Roses, The Verve
And add 80's The Cure, The Smiths orNew Order.
@@vojtechelias8402 you get it my unknown friend.
loved 120 minutes...caught Cocteau Twins there...
Yes, 120 minutes, those were the times. I still have video tapes lying around with full broadcasts but unfortunately no time to edit them.
@@GertVeltink my local AOR (album oriented rock) FM station here on the east coast of the states played the program "Rock Over London"...which was basically an essential alternative/mainstream British top 40. Great for us Americans who got tired of the same ol' sometimes stale format.
Lyft Driver was bumping this on the way to work yesterday and that's what brought me here
Miss that era and the earlier, better days of 4AD releases. Still in the marrow.
When Ivo was still at the helm. I think he's gone now. I checked-out the 4AD website a couple of months ago, found a ton of new bands but could not find anything I could relate to. A shame for what was once a great label.
I think their last great signing might have been St Vincent but she's moved on now... and become a not very good pop star.
On the subject of 'marrow', look-up St Vincent 'Marrow'
Even now, the pain of Chris' loss is palpable, still hurts as much as when it was announced 💔 sleep well Chris
Only thirthy years...
His passing was the reason why Lush stopped . 😢
Angelic sonic bliss of my early 90s youth, thank you dearly!
Absolutely irresistible, as it was when I first heard it late in 1990
I love how Miki can't keep herself from smiling the first few minutes when the camera points to her during her verses
who??
Miki is maximum cuteness, here.
I just discovered this band yesterday. And I can't get over this song.
Seeing them in San Francisco in 1996 was the biggest highlight. How lucky I was to see them.
Never let Lush die. Maybe they were flawed. I guess so. But still, I am listening. Their music makes my eyes roll back in my head. It lifts me off earth. There are rises of power, moments of incredible beauty, power, lust, truth, sorrow. Mostly beauty.
Don't know why but I couldn't look away... So magnetic 🧲...2 belles at the ball ...the lassies were pretty too😊
Lollipalloza 1992. What a trip. Literally!!
1991 downtown Union Square free Lush concert. I was mesmerized. I fell in ❤️ that day. Thanks Lush. Came at the nick of time!🥰
You're so lucky! I first discovered Lush RIGHT AFTER they had already left the Bay Area on that tour. (I think I read a review in the Daily Cal or something.) I didn't get to see them until they played at Slim's on the Spooky tour the following year.
after college in florida a headhunter offered me my dream job in the bay area so i relocate from the east coast to the west...after being denied a day off i compromised & offered to work a half day so i could still make the show...that was denied as well so i walked! i quit a WELL PAYING JOB in silicon valley during the infancy of the computer revolution all just to see LUSH perform outdoors in Union Square for free...the early 90's in NorCal were epic!

@@erilaz7i caught them at Slim's as well, numerous times in fact...tbh i can't recall the exact number of their shows i attended my first was at the Roxy when they opened for RIDE literally on day 1 as a resident of california
@@ghop09er I have my concert-going pretty well documented, so I can confidently state that in addition to the April 1992 Slim's show, I saw them twice at the Fillmore in 1996 and then at the Warfield on the 2016 reunion tour. I also saw the Miki Berenyi Trio at the Great American Music Hall this June, where I got Miki to sign her book for me! ❤
I recently looked through Lush's gig history to try to figure out which San Francisco shows I missed back in the day and why. Some of the gaps were easy to explain (I missed them at Slim's in July 1992 because I was on vacation in Germany, at the Fillmore in August 1994 because I was at a conference in Washington, DC), but others were inexplicable. Why didn't I see them at Bottom of the Hill in June 1994? Sure, I was deep in debt and low on cash in those days, but a show like that would only have cost around $15, and I nevertheless managed to see Nina Hagen, Milla (Jovovich), Shonen Knife, Tori Amos, Stereolab, and X later that summer. Maybe I just didn't find out about it in time. ???
Their music will make my life on Mars bearable.
I remember when my older brother showed me this when I was a still just a kid in the 90s. It blew my mind and became my favorite band for most of my teenage years. Will never forget this song. The video is super cool too!
Wow...I was into Death, Kreator, Slayer, and Deicide at the time. I'm now 41 and discovering Lush just now. I love them...simple guitars, great bass lines and vocals that altogether just make you feel good. Great band!
I bought Gala when I was an 18 year old kid in 1990. I had just gotten to college as a freshman never had lived away from home. Used to chill out in my dorm room to this song. Still brings back alot of memories for me.
Simply a classic Indy band and a iconic song just a song that makes you feel good
I love them so much. This song hits everything I need.
I remember seeing them w I was 16 in Highschool. And I met them @ Bayside Market Place in MiaMi. It was Lollapalooza 92". I recently went to Rough Trade for Miki Berenyi's book signing for Fingers crossed. And I told her the story of skipping school that day to see them because they were on in the beginning. She was so sweet then & now . Ty Miki
It saddens me that Miki & Emma do not speak to each other these days. Together they produced beautiful & timeless sonic creations.
My first concert was Lush with Babes in Toyland - March 17th, 1992. Magnificent.
Damn!! It's crazy that I haven't heard this band. Better late than never, am I right?!?!
Gotham United Yes definitely
First time hearing it. Flucking Love it.
My god, how l miss music like this, a beautiful harmony with dancy baggy drums, great keyboard and bass sound but overseen by the jingle jangle guitar tune. A great time for fans of music from bands.
I've seen precious few bands who inspire as much genuine love in their fans as this band.
MaskedMan66. took the words right outa my brain,cocteau twins do the same thing,wish we could all get together and jam while listening to this music,how cool would that be?
Love this song.
Saw Lush at the Marquee Club, Sydney in early 1990's. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their performance.
I was at that gig too. Great night.
Okay, I'm totally in love with this music!!!!!
One of the most beautifully written and sounding songs ever recorded…
Good god ... this sound. Never replicated. Never even attempted.
The sound of angels, a beautiful harmony of voices, and those accompanying guitars sounds, just wow!
I think this band is rated perfectly. Neither over nor under. Just *chef's kiss* PERFECTO!
This is feels so good to listen to, just feels like it's coming from within your head and not from your headphones
Turned onto them by a man at a Urbana ill record store said I would like more 4ad label people and I do love dead can dance gave great mlami show
Summer time breeze. Incredible music takes you places. Saw lush in 92 .
They were all so young and beautiful. I've been a fan since the beginning and always will be.
Love how she smiles when singing the chorus
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Nuff said.
One of the best songs of all time, totally transports me away every time.
Whoever made this video for Lush did a great job. So many layers of images and unique colors stacked on top of one other. This took many hours to put together, especially since it was done nearly 30 years ago. Brilliant work musta cost a pretty penny.
Right? Physical video tape was required in editing, even if they had the latest software.
Thank God for songs such as this. I think I would cease to exist otherwise 😊
Mountain Prairie West Agreed luv!
This has such a unique mood. One of my favorite tracks of all time.
Saw these many times in their 4ad yrs,so sweet.
God, I miss the 90s.
S Lo help me build a time machine. Let’s go back
We all do.
I miss early 90's especially.
@@isaiahd781 As long as we can stay there.
I wish I heard this in the 90's
@@blo7332 i did
Finally UA-cam recommended something worth listening to.
There will always be a place in heart for this band!
I found out about this band at 12, in my dad's hospital room and ever since they've been a part of my day-to-day life
this song saved my sanity, kept my hope intact
every morning in a state of total desperation I'd hit "shuffle" on my pod and it always came first; it was weird but then i realized it was the voice of the spark of life saying "don't give up"
Love and miss U, Lush... memories of the early 90s 4AD
Some songs just make you float away.
At one point or another I've had a crush on every member of this band.
I saw lush at lolapouza in Orlando they blew me away such talent
I wish the mix were more. This is one of my eternal favorites till the day the light goes out.
utterly unique and beautiful
They're back!!! Holy sweet shit. Such news.
+Polyfusia What ..are they really??
You just made my day then!:-D
+Polyfusia
According to a commenter on another Lush video, the drummer from Elastica is taking over Chris' spot.
+Polyfusia WHAT??? What do you mean they're back?
They reunited. They have a new EP coming out and they're touring soon.
Beautiful music. So otherworldly.
See my life (I've been so tired)
See myself (I've been uptight)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my sight (I could disappear)
See with you
Memories fading fast
And with you
It's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe, only to see
That space and light is what I really need
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
You are the juice I need for life
You are the sweetness in my eyes
YOU are the sweetness in MY eyes 💋👍
even now after all these years and in such hard times....still sounds wonderful and wish i could go back to that place....hey ho 60 years and still loving that song x
47 here…I remember when I got the Spooky cassette.✌️
Stoned out of my head the first time I heard this. August 7, 2012. Ah, the days...
Saw them half a dozen times, including first Canadian appearance at Lee's Palace in Toronto in 90... got to speak with then after the show... incredible performance. As were the other times I saw them over the next few years....
Total, unmatchable, incomprable class.
