1989 sitting on the floor of my apartment in NYC with some girl I just met. Playing this song on my stereo trying to impress her with my stereo and taste in music. 32 years later still together married 31 years , two kids all grown up. Here I am still listening to The Church.

same at 50... wtf.... and im a freak of music... its rare i never listen it until now...It must be that they didn't play it on the radio in Europe... no idea... its ready and downloaded now for my car with bass system... time to neigborths loves me.... + lyrics are awesome... wtf
Most overlooked 80s band Jenna. Those layers of sound. Superb lyrics. Go to song to get bad people GONE. Loved this band Then and Now. btw, every song on this album is amazing. GREAT period album.
53 yr old military combat vet who first heard this song in high-school and never forgot it and spent more than 40 years trying to find it and finally did!!!! To me it's the kind of song you hear once in your lifetime and never forget it!!!!
Saw them last year at an intimate show with my mom who played their music throughout my whole childhood. They were beyond amazing and Kirby is hilarious when he's on the mic
The greatest works of art occur historically during the decadence of empires. We are actually in the point of no return. As the chinese said: be cursed to live in interesting times. P.S. There is no hope for humanity, at least in this form.
@@christopherneufelt8971 I totally agree with you. History does repeat itself. About 500-700 years ago, Asian countries (Persia, the Mongols, China,...were the economic and military powerhouses). From there, the powers and influences shifted to Europe (England, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France). These European countries had almost total control of the world. From the Americas (north and south), Africa, Asia, all the way to Australia and New Zealand. Over the past decade, I'm seeing how the balance of power (economic and military) is shifting back to Asia. India presently has the largest population, followed by China. India is also a great economic and military powerhouse. China beats India in the population, economic, military categories, but it is the most powerful country right now, because of its armed forces (China has more people in her military forces than most countries populations, and a nonstop booming economy. And I totally agree with you about the present condition of mother Earth. Looking at the present situations, I think it would be totally amazing if our world survives another 500 years. Of course, the planet Earth is already doomed (but not by us lousy humans). In about 5 billion years, our sun will become a super-giant star. It'll become so big that it will easily reach the distance where the Earth is (about 93 million miles). Our planet will be swallowed by our sun.
@@jimmycameron6568 Good night (is 10:10 PM here in Switzerland)!. The situation that I describe is due to the luck of life that bought to the world all of the luxury that we are currently living. Historically speaking, most of the empires get destroyed when the luxury substitutes the desire for living. Especially the artists, are very sensitive to the emotional deficit that this luxury offers, and this results to the production of great works of arts. Every power demands are just consequences of this situation. Sorry, I will not iterate more of this since I am in not good health. Take care yourself and the people you love.
I’m 56, been a fan since the mid 80’s, got to see them in about 85. A guy I met in College, he & I became friends over this band, he passed away a couple of years ago from a heart attack, gone too soon 😢 I saw his widow shortly after and she said “Matt always loved The Church, and when he talked about them, your name would always come up” made my cry, it’s amazing how wonderful music is an interwoven part of our lives. I’m really looking forward to their new music in 2023 🙌🏼
The evil son of a bitch in me wanted to find something in comment to tease but the part where his widow told you he would always bring you up actually made me cry.
I was at this show. Filmed at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis in 1988. The close ups of the band were done before they let us in as we could hear this song being played over and over again while waiting in the lobby. Signs at the door said they would be filming. I was 4th row right side on the floor in front of Marty and it was amazing!
This song is STILL badass. The Church was underrated in the 80s but I still love them. I'm rather proud of how well the music of my 80s adolescence has held up so well. You can hear its echoes in some of the better music being made today...
I am a metal lover. Pantera, old Metallica, old Queensryche, DLR Van Halen, and I have always liatened to The Church. The moods of the music. Guitar sounds. I listen to the whole aspect of the song.
Wow, I've never heard this song before - this is awesome. Got reminded of the milky way song that i loved in the '80's and forgotten about - led me to this band didn't know existed.
They are a treasure trove...Well put, Cherrypriere. Steve and Company are amazing musicians and their catalog is full of great music. 26 + albums. They are releasing their next album in Spring 2023 and going on tour in the US. (Hurray!) Check out their great new Single "The Hypnogogue" which came out already. Very Bladerunner-noir-ish to me in a good way. ua-cam.com/video/1_zkH4d3ITU/v-deo.html
McDarwin, I was also at this show, left side row 10 Peter's side, what an amazing night! A bag of wine on the way to the show (no we were not old enough) our driver gets pulled over and the officer asks have you been drinking? His answer, it is against my religion to drink. Oh the memories.
One of my favorite bands of all time! My cousin used to like this band may he R.I.P In loving memory of my cousin Tony. He got caught in a love triangle and got killed! This month is his death anniversary love you cuz, this one s for you!
The year this album released I lost my Mom at 38 years old. She got sick with ovarian cancer. She was buried by December. I had just turned 18 in November. These songs kept my heart tuned up ro take the loss, and comforted me in the grieving. I was in Virginia Beach at the time. I ran the roads non stop in my 81 Honda Prelude. It's been 37 years now.
What a mesmerizing song. The guitar is absolutley enthralling ... I see a woman/ snake with diamond eyes reaching out to him and he can't resist her. What a genius song.
Bought Starfish in 1988, but finally got to see the Church in 2019 (they did an album show for this). I will never tire of listening to this song or the album.
I was in disbelief when this song came out enticed me with it's compelling melodies. I went out and bought the album immediately and have loved them ever since. Just an amazing group that enhanced my life and soul forever!
1989 17 years old. driving the garden state parkway to visit the girl I was dating in north jersey. Butterflies in my heart the entire way with this song bottling the feeling for the rest of my life. The melody entering my mind today like an echo from the past.
For everybody who likes to sing along. Too dangerous to keep Too feeble to let go And you want to bite the hand Shoulda stopped this long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be gorging on me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile Had you coiled around my arm How could you ever know How I loved your diamond eyes But that was long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile And I should have believed Eve She said we had to blow She was the apple of my eye It wasn't long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile
This is one of my top twenty favorite songs ever! If you listen to it, with the sound wide open, the sound of every instrument voice included is mesmerizing! Beautiful tune!
Back in 86 or the whereabouts Marty came to a show of my band in LA. He and his friend approached me after our gig and asked if I wanted to fly to Australia and record the drums for his solo album. My band was on the verge of being signed and didn’t want to leave them hanging as we were playing together since 81 when we were 13 year olds. I think Marty liked one of our songs and probably hummed it over and over. This song here was faster at the time he saw us and we slowed it down for the recording. The guitar hook in the chorus is the same as Reptile just different timing and probably a different key. A guitarist will know what I’m talking about. Believe it or not I believe we had an influence on him that night. Our singer played a couple of solo shows with Marty in Los Angeles and Marty did have a copy of our record therefor having Kevin open up for him. Hope you guys like it and listen to full record when you can. The Church are one of my all time favorites, saw them a few times back then. ua-cam.com/video/evGuJ3_LL6s/v-deo.html
Marty Wilson Piper is an incredible guy. Meeting in person last year was one of the happiest days of that year. He signed all The Church records I had. He's my neighbour now and my friend. He will create a spot here in Porto where ppl can listen to thousands of records and read hundreds of music magazines. I am happy to have donated some...
@@OlhOrebOque sounds like a great guy! Ask him if he still needs a drummer cause I’m available 😂 Believe me when I say I wish I could of recorded on his solo 80’s stuff it would of been amazing. Also, if and when you see him again tell him Damien from Sixtieth Parallel says “hi” and next time he is in Southern California to look me up thanks!
Saw them open up for Echo and the Bunnymen in the late 80s in Boston. They played this song and the way the guitars echoed through the auditorium sent shivers down my spine. I still crush on Marty, and on Steve's voice.
Back in the day I think I was one of the last kids to get 11 albums on cassettes for 1 penny out of a magazine ad.. This was one of those albums. Good times!
He still has this Rickenbacker 340/6 I believe. He had a Rickenbacker/Rose Morris 1993 12 string stolen though. I feel the same way…you know it’s out there somewhere and it needs to be found. Understandable why it was stolen though. Only 100 made, very few surviving, and they are worth a small fortune. I seen a beat to hell one with no real fame behind it sell for $17k recently.
One of the most underrated bands. Been a fan since I was a kid in 1983/4, just started high school. My high school boyfriend and I went and saw them twice in San Francisco, 1987 and 1989. I still think of him when I hear Steven Kilbey.
Finally got to see The Church live about a month ago. I think Kilbey's the only original member left, but it was still a great show. This one brought the house down.
1989 sitting on the floor of my apartment in NYC with some girl I just met. Playing this song on my stereo trying to impress her with my stereo and taste in music. 32 years later still together married 31 years , two kids all grown up. Here I am still listening to The Church.
this is so heartwarming i wish ur whole family the best❤️
I Love your Love story❤God Bless You and your family.
So, did she go team PETER or Team MWP?
Great story, nice to hear you married her.
It's just Kirby now but they sound so amazing still in 2022
The Church is truly a universal band. Goths, Metalheads, Alternative fans and everybody else in between loves them. That's a mark of good music.
I totally agree!
u r right. this group cuts across all musical genres!
Absolutely, they're amazing
I'll add Wire Train to the list.
I absolutely love "I'll Do You" (nonsensical lyrics, IMO) and "Chambers of Hello."
I was a skateboarding athlete who listened to New Wave, Alternative rock ans Oldies in the late 80s till about 1992 and The Church was right there in the mix, I would discover skate punk, pop, punk and Emo around 1992 and left all the other music behind until maybe 15 yrs ago when I started revisiting it again
I’m a 17 year old girl. Just discovered this song and it’s been on repeat ever since
Their album, "Starfish" is great. I highly recommend it.

It really is very underrated, a power pop masterpiece
Brilliant and Uber talented bunch of musicians !

No smart phones limited television no garbage social media interaction. Imagine hearing this at a house party in the 80s? Bro come on
You sound maybe you were there?

I think Marty liked one of our songs and probably hummed it over and over. This song here was faster at the time he saw us and we slowed it down for the recording. The guitar hook in the chorus is the same as Reptile just different timing and probably a different key. A guitarist will know what I’m talking about. Believe it or not I believe we had an influence on him that night. Our singer played a couple of solo shows with Marty in Los Angeles and Marty did have a copy of our record therefor having Kevin open up for him. Hope you guys like it and listen to full record when you can. The Church are one of my all time favorites, saw them a few times back then. ua-cam.com/video/evGuJ3_LL6s/v-deo.html
That's actually a really cool variation between the two. I like it
@DM You should have allowed comments on your song! It is a good song and still holds up today!
Glad I was scrolling through the comments. Clicked on your link and already, the beginning of your song is beautiful. Thank you
Marty Wilson Piper is an incredible guy. Meeting in person last year was one of the happiest days of that year. He signed all The Church records I had. He's my neighbour now and my friend. He will create a spot here in Porto where ppl can listen to thousands of records and read hundreds of music magazines. I am happy to have donated some...
@@OlhOrebOque sounds like a great guy! Ask him if he still needs a drummer cause I’m available 😂
Believe me when I say I wish I could of recorded on his solo 80’s stuff it would of been amazing. Also, if and when you see him again tell him Damien from Sixtieth Parallel says “hi” and next time he is in Southern California to look me up thanks!
Top ten greatest songs in the universe
Mon dieu! Je les aime toujours...
This tune nothing envy U2!!!! Awesome tune 😮💖
Saw them open up for Echo and the Bunnymen in the late 80s in Boston. They played this song and the way the guitars echoed through the auditorium sent shivers down my spine. I still crush on Marty, and on Steve's voice.
Back in the day I think I was one of the last kids to get 11 albums on cassettes for 1 penny out of a magazine ad.. This was one of those albums. Good times!
One of the greatest riffs in rock.
This song... 🖤
beautiful....still
Kills me to know that Marty’s Rickenbacker was stolen from him. 😢 Now I feel I must find it.
He still has this Rickenbacker 340/6 I believe. He had a Rickenbacker/Rose Morris 1993 12 string stolen though. I feel the same way…you know it’s out there somewhere and it needs to be found. Understandable why it was stolen though. Only 100 made, very few surviving, and they are worth a small fortune. I seen a beat to hell one with no real fame behind it sell for $17k recently.
One of the most underrated bands. Been a fan since I was a kid in 1983/4, just started high school. My high school boyfriend and I went and saw them twice in San Francisco, 1987 and 1989. I still think of him when I hear Steven Kilbey.
Finally got to see The Church live about a month ago. I think Kilbey's the only original member left, but it was still a great show. This one brought the house down.
Class ,,,,,,,,what a tune,and band
Never heard this song until like a week ago. Wtf. Better late than never, making up for lost time now 🤟
Rockin my Soul⚡For 35 Years🎰

At .06, that rattlesnake roll just punctuates and foreshadows the tune. Amazing!
