This song is co-credetited to Francis Rossi of Status Quo. The whole song is actually their (quo's) single Matchstick Men, I believe 1968. Brilliant tune and nice arrangement by Death in Vegas with Liam.
This song just shows the progression of Liams Voice through the years. It absolutely fits the track perfectly. Liams always had that great Rock Voice as it is but certain songs show it a hell of alot more and Scorpio Rising is most definitely one of them.
He needs a few dance breaks n beats in his music sometimes , Noel was always more into that e.g chemical brothers this is the closest Liam got really , no excuse seeing as Liam Howlett, The Prodigy is his brother in law.
I've had my own demons to overcome and hearing this song there are so many lyrics in it that truly resonated with me at that stage. If I don't go crazy I will loose my mind. Hope your conquering your demons 💚
@@josephquigley5037 ah so you get it! I feel exactly the same..when I got out of rehab I was struggling with the crippling depression and social anxiety.. was suicidal. . Music is amazing to heal with..glad I'm still here..glad you've conquered your demons..stay safe mate ..fuck covid 19
@@davidandrews9744It's actually "forked tongues pointing out my sins". That whole verse is full of snake metaphors! And of course saying someone has a "forked tongue" means they are speaking spitefully, deceitfully, or just flat out lying.
Massive attack and unkle don’t do it either. As long as they are credited in the rights for royalties they don’t have to list feat on the record sleeve.
"Pictures of matchstick men and you" Status Quo original track. You listen to it young 'uns and see the similarities. Quo were credited in it for writing. True!
Epic song and video to cover the generational curse / mission of people born between 1981 and 1995 - the generation of the scorpio where these people will have to fight for their freedom.
I NEVER GET SICK OF THIS SONG OR THE CLIP .. HE IS RESCUING HIS LOVE FROM A SEEDY CONCUBINES HOUSE ! PSYCHIC EQUALIZER IN YOUR MIND - ONLY WAY TO GO !! SCORPIO'S ROCK !
18 years searching for this song, and causually steped into it while looking to Kenneth Anger's 'Scorpio Rising', which was suggested by Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Valhalla Rising'. I knew I would find it some day, now I can go in peace.
Julian I have been searching for this song since 2003. I knew It was liam but not Oasis. I searched for two decades until now I put Liam Gallagher songs and now I found it. It did not show up in the past though. What coincidence we both found it almost at the same time. I was aware of the Rythm because it sounds like Fly away from Lenny Kravitz.
When you kiss the base of my spine Make my body into your shrine You give me this feeling deep inside One that I can no longer disguise While other snakes just shed their skins Fucked holes pointing out my sins Even though I realise that history's not on my side Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me but now I'm blind I wanna go to heaven, never been there before I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more Flying high upon the gallows Too messed up to step out of the shadows A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow Rescued from this deep dark hole Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails Time is nigh for you leather girls Maybe we should end this race Vanish while we cannot leave no trace If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind See one-arm film stars on alien beaches Potted gold and tattooed faces Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops Diazepam dreams there catching streams Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green Still I've got a flash-bulb head Still I've got a flash-bulb head If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind I saw a life before me but now I'm blind I wanna go to heaven, never been there before I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more Come along nice, come along dead Scorpio rising, and paint it red A psychic equalizer in your head Come along nice, come along dead Scorpio rising, and paint it red A psychic equalizer in your head
I haven't heard this song in ages probably since it was first released.. It sounds so good even after all this time... in fact I think I like it more now than when it first came out
Due to the deluge of Liam fangirl comments filling this page, I hoped this Japanese post might provide some insight into the story/symbolism/whatever depicted in the Japanese video. So I got the comment translated into English. To say I was beyond disappointed at the result is an understatement 😞
The first time I saw this video I was in rehab coming off heroin .. This gave me life! If we had to choose one song .. That would be our personal theme song .. Scorpio Rising is it for me ♥️💜
