Islam Safarov the orininal singer who sang this died a few years back, they still perform with a new singer, and that is who you're thinking of. You're the one getting confused here, he's fucking dead, get over it. Fuck
Among the many brilliant things about this album the best to me is the bass and drum combo. I am a bass player and absolutely love the way this guy plays but if I were a drummer I would not be able to resist playing along with the entire album.
The group changed the words for the Arsenio Hall gig. Instead of the boy and the church floor, it was a story about tonsils. Still a beautiful piece of work.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is a gem. Amazing lyrics….harmonious vocals….music could be my favorite aspect of their sound. So unique.
freakin' love this song ------------- simple and pleasing ----------- love it when the lead singer and keyboard player do their duets ---------- over 25 years old already ------------- time flies!
Me too! I was already in my 20’s when this song came out. It’s a very kind and sweet song that speaks for kids who know they’re different and trying to find their way.
At that time I was going through difficult situations in my life, but that song gave me happiness. I didn't know what it was about ... but that didn't matter, I was glad to hear it. I love this song. Bogota Colombia.
Comentario en español! Cuando aún los cantantes eran compositores y te presentaban su arte con mucha dedicación, realmente cantaban. Cero autotune, solo talento de verdad. Me encanta la voz grave de Brad Roberts, es muy poderosa. La escuché y me fascinó. Escuché muchas de sus canciones, revisé su discografia y quede encantada. Muy buena música de los 90's que trasciende. Y pasarán décadas y este tipo de música será clásica!! 💜👌🏼
Leyendo comentarios me encuentro con uno que es lo mismo que pienso... Antes como ahora, en un grupo la voz es lo primordial y si en un concierto se va la luz!!???!??!?!?!' pues seria un desastre con tanto autotune y demás efectos que le agregan hoy en dia. A Brad le das una guitarra y te canta igual (Sin reverb ni amplificación) pero seguro que sonará igual.
Este señor tenía un timbre que con el aire armónico y folky suena descomunal. Me he acordado de este grupo por la voz.. Mientras escuchaba a type o negative.. Poco tienen que ver, pero ambos cantantes tenían unas cualidades y una sonoridad única o muy peculiar.. A gustos.. Dese luego.. Buenísimos los dummies
Well, Brad said in a few interviews it's about outcasts, that's what ties all the lil composite stories. I think once you suffer through child abuse, you do feel like an outsider. "One kid had it worse than that"....I'm sure that's the lyric that strikes a chord with folks. Back in the 90s, DV was just getting into the public eye/getting talked about regularly.....so it make sense, for sure.
I think part of it has to do with the fact that, "afternoons and coffee spoons" was never to my knowledge in any big movies like this one was (Dumb & Dumber).
@@daveydudely9954 @davey dudely Anything that makes sound is a tool for making music. It doesn't define if you have heart or not. If you don't like the pop music of today that's fine. There is so much to discover that isn't in the mainstream.
Seoul Korea 2019.... This song reminds me of travel memory at County Sligo in Ireland 1995... while I was driving Hertz Car from Dublin ,listening from Radio FM.. and I bought CD in Tower record London ,,still I keep it,,
Thinking about everything I lost in my Life…my father, my mother, my grandma, my pets…this song talks about evrything. This song is about Life….everyone’s life
I remembered this on the radio when I was about 6, then I heard it in my favorite comedy" dumb n dumber". now as an old guy I have rediscovered this band and I am obsessed. Great performers. I hope they live in cool houses and feel good.
Es un deleite, osea un placer del ánimo y de los sentidos... Y que mejor aún oírla con audífonos y los ojos cerrados... 🎶 Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm...🎶 Y es un grande Brad con su voz bajo-barítono 🤙🏼
Its this mix at the Arsenio Show. It kinda baffles me when bands and/or the venues(shows) do not maximize the mixes at their board. You can hear ALOT of missed opportunities over the years with alot of bands. This is one of the examples of how GOOD these performances and mixes can be. The mix on the rooftop performance by the Beatles was finally maximized a few years back when they released the official video for one of the songs(Dont Let Me Down) here on RU-vid. The mix is not as good as this one, but it is about as good as you could hope for with an almost 50 year old recording. Even though the most popular act of all time was being recorded, they didnt have access to the very best equipment in the world at that time(whether by hook, crook, or pinch), believe it or not.
This song was a novelty for a lot of people but it's actually pretty dark and deep. I think it's about child abuse and the chorus reflects the kids keeping their mouths shut about it (or making up different stories to explain it). However, I could just be reading WAYYYYY into it. Lol
@@marjolein6391 Something about a boy wanting keep his tonsils in a jar and then his mom throwing them away...lol strange but I think it fits the song as none of the versus are linked to each other.
I bought this amazing bands first two albums back in the day and that was the end, For some reason I checked them out again last week and done some decent research into them, Thanks to you Bacchus, I have stumbled upon many of their live material, I liked them very much in the 90's, I am now trying to track down everything they have done, By the way, How gorgeous is Ellen Reid ?? Thanks for the huge work you do in bringing these underrated geniuses to the masses, Thankyou again Bacchus
@@carvinblack I guess it depends on the bass player and the band or the venue. Every bass player I've ever known won't stare 800 watt stacked cab right behind them there may be a direct input from the cab to the PA somewhere but I guarantee you that bass players got something behind him he's listening to. Honestly the bass player's the only one that has a little bit of free rein in this song I just uploaded a rough draft version of me doing this song and the guitar pretty straightforward not a lot of room for any type of improvising it's pretty much driving the Rhythm with the piano and also did upload a good enough final version of the B side of this single Superman song anybody gives a s*** and wants to hear somebody that can't f****** sing play and sing it in their living room it's on my Channel with the rest of my living room guitar player crap. My days of dreaming of forming a band and touring and making it big or long behind me.
