Bauhaus - In The Flat Field 

I remember the first time I saw these guys on tv in 1982 or 83. They were scary! I was only around 12 but I was blown away. In high school I wore the old white Bauhaus shirt with the face/ design thing. My drama teacher asked if I was into German design lol … Heavy dark band. Very creative as well

That killer bassline!

Bauhaus,Joy Division, Virgin Prunes, Nick Cave.... La colonna sonora della nostra gioventù.

One of my favorite bands of all times. I have memories of listening this in 1983, putting my tape in a loop. Bauhaus forever

I was there 2 nd row from front just below David Jay. Still remember queueing for tickets and meeting a girl called Stella who had just interviewed Bauhaus for her college magazine. She posted me a copy of the magazine, oh the days before internet lol. Wish I still had it.

I wish I could listen to them for the first time again

Peter Murphy, was influenced by David Bowie and Iggy Pop. That's why in concert they usually end with a Bowie or Iggy song. Peter Murphy still pays tribute by ending his shows with a Bowie tune. I've seen Bauhaus live and Peter Murphy live several times and always end it with the encore song being one of Bowie's. High energy post punk, great band Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins! Great voice and definitely Bowiesk!

the DRAMA. such performance artists.

No one does the shoulder shuffle like Peter! 🥰🦇💜

Now this is f*cking art dude....love Bauhaus.

My favorite band! Daniel is the coolest guitarist ever

It's possible that Daniel Ash is the most beautiful man that ever lived.

Used to listen to this song full blast driving the freeways of Orange and LA counties, completely out of my mind! When I go to the psychiatrist and he asks me what I'm feeling I want to scream " I get bored in the flat field"!

Jesus...this brings back mad memories of a better time

Just brilliant. What a song, and what a performance ! I could never get bored with this!!

2:35 Oh Shit! I need that Bauhaus Leather Jacket!

57yo and I still want to get up and go berserk to this!

This song and performance is a work of art.

So underrated. One of the greatest guitar songs of all time.

Lived them in the early 80s and love them just as much now. They are one of the greatest bands ever.

It was amazing in the 80’s and still are!

I was 13 in 1978 and BAUHAUS were my artistic/musical salvation.

Pete Murphy, the definition of 'enigmatic frontman'.

His voice is so utterly perfect, mind blowing

A gut pull drag on me Into the chasm gaping we Mirrors multy reflecting this Between spunk stained sheet And odorous whim Camera eye-flick-shudder within Assist me to walk away in sin Where is the string that Theseus laid Find me out this labyrinth place. I do get bored, I get bored In the flat field. I get bored, I do get bored In the flat field Yin and yang lumber punch Go taste a tart, then eat my lunch And force my slender thin and lean In this solemn place of fill wetting dreams Of black matted lace of pregnant cows As life maps out onto my brow The card is lowered in index turn Into my filing cabinet hemispheres spurn. I do get bored, I get bored In the flat field. I get bored, I do get bored In the flat field Let me catch the slit of light For a maidens sake On a maiden flight In the flat field I do get bored Replace with Piccadilly whores In my yearn for some cerebral fix Transfer me to that solid plain Hammer me into blazen pain Moulding shapes no shame to waste Moulding shapes no shame to waste And drag me there with deafening haste.

where has this band been all my life, they are awesome

I can still hear and smell my hairsprayed hair burning and sizzling from the hair crimpers...I was about 16 at this time

insanely well. That bassline is a mover. Floorshow with the Sisters of Mercy is the nearest to that drive. Peters singing is top notch always. Those were the days one became in love with music.

this shit makes me want to start a group

When I listen to this song, I feel mesmerized while singing with Peter Murphy, I have listened to Bauhaus at first in the 1983, and I love very much this band.❤

Almost all I listened to in the Early '80's was Bauhaus, the Cocteau Twins, Cranberries and Siouxie and the Banshees. Ah, the great days of the John Peel show on R1.

Peter Murphy is the David Bowie of goth.

Back in 1982 my friends and I All dressed like this...and we were SO INTO OUR MUSIC...Such an AWESOME time to be alive!!!!

Surely one of the greatest songs ever..!

Not one note could be changed. Beautiful, perfect music.

Favorite Bauhaus song!

Είναι αδύνατον να περιγραφεί με λόγια, η αίσθηση που αφήνει στην Ψυχή και στο κορμί, ένα τραγούδι των Bauhaus... με λίγα λόγια, μπάντα σαν αυτούς (αλλά και αρκετούς άλλους της εποχής εκείνης) δεν πρόκειται να "περπατήσουν ξανά πάνω στην Γη.."

Such a brilliant song

2:32 Look at those fingers go! One of the best bassists ever!

We need artists like this again... not afraid to experiment, and actually play their own instruments

One of the best group of rock'n roll ever, realy. If you listen the album " The sky's gone out", it's perfect..

The gothiest goths that have ever gothed.

My heads spinning after seeing that...... Takes me right back.... xxxxx

What a Performance !! Peter Murphy is a Mainiac and the best Frontman ever !!!

Daniel and Peter... made such Amazing music...

Saw them live 🙌

I was 18 years and was total mind change 🎸🎸🎸🎸🖤🖤🖤🖤

That bass!

This song is a quintessential portion of my upbringing and represents my mindset and musical taste so well. Thank you for the post!

Still got the VHS of this. Brilliant!

I saw him in 2018, he played this track. Still incredible 35 years on!

Funny how in perfect synchronicity with Peter's singing, the chick at 2.40 does get bored... And as with rock solid proper boredom, it starts with blowing one's own fringe.

total magic

Se dovessi riassumere in una canzone le energie contrastanti, le emozioni e la rabbia dei 20 anni IN THE FLAT FIELD è il pezzo più adatto. Stupendi BAUHAUS

Amazing voice!

Love this song

perfect dance perfect sound perfect motivation

Just magnificent masters of their genre and a fierce performance beautiful.

Pure Art

I don't always listen to this song but when I do so do my neighbors!

I was there aged 16, bouncers let me in for free

Genius band! Great performance...

i saw them back in 2006 when they toured w/ NIN and opening for both bands was tv on the radio. best concert i ever went to. bauhaus was just intense and peter murphy basically took everyone to school although NIN just killed it later that night.

Who took the flashlight from off the top of the fridge and into your darkened bedroom and shined it at your face at different angles in front of the mirror while listening to Bauhaus. *slowly raises up hand ;)

Peter Murphy is truly the David Bowie of rockstars.

Bauhaus is my all time favorite band

Purely Amazing!!!

I remember them back in the early 80s. Also X-mal Deutschland. 2 bands I never saw back in the day. Time moves fast!

The best singer

Bauhaus were so fucking innovative, brilliant band.

Excellent....

Super cool, super sharp in every way. British rock at its best.

This is probably not their best song, but it is my favorite.
