Failure - The Nurse Who Loved Me (Live on KEXP) 

better.. more for us. This is my guilty pleasure band and it would be to cast pearls before swine

they are a gem for the true music seeker to find

one of my fav bands of all time

The best rare jewels can't be fond everywhere and they're also unknown for everyone :)

Failure has a weird dissonant/dischordant sounding thing going on in their music that makes it sound unique, but unfortunately, it does not sound good to most people on first listen. Failure's music takes a little time to grow on people who aren't too familiar with that sound.

You should check out Sparklehorse. You're welcome, and I'm sorry. R.I.P Mark Linkous.

I don’t think anyone would know the song were it not for APC. They reharmonized it much better. The juxtaposition of the lyrical content and the beautiful harmonization works better than this version.

@@birdrustler i discovered them because a weird collaboration they did with Thom Yorke way back when... Sparklehorse has been a favorite for decades now

@@crescendo5594 lmao. It takes the essence of a mentally elated drug addicts. Maynard has an amazing voice but he makes this song sound like a lullaby. But I respect your opinion.

@@crescendo5594 I didn’t know APC even covered it. And don’t say all of that like it’s factual, it’s your opinion. I personally, can’t see anything being better than this.

I agree, they really showed up and showed they can do excellent live performances of their songs.

Same brother

Wouldn't say its more metal, but its certainly has a very specific type of heavy that no other band will ever be able to replicate

@SPLEclipse Can you try to explain what that is to a non-musician like myself (layman) who’s never heard of such a term (dragging quarter note stab)?

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Sure thing! A stab is just a "hit", with guitar it's just a loud strum. With a drummer it might be playing the drums louder for a beat. Dragging just means playing slightly after the "real" beat should be played if you are playing to a metronome. If you listen to the very beginning of the song and all the harder parts after he says "all the other guys" there's a slow down in tempo. All of the chords in those "post-other-guys" portions are hitting quarter notes of the song, which is basically counting off the rhythm as 1-2-3-4 if you listen to when he sounds each chord. They slow down just a bit each time making it drag just a little. It''s almost imperceptible, but just enough to make you feel it. Adds a lot of tension.

@@SPLEclipse so mething failure does amazingly

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 they way they aggressively lean into what is normally considered a boring/conventional time-signature lends itself to a metal aesthetic that is pretty profound. it's best illustrated in the outro where the entire thing falls apart from them basically stomping the song to death.

+the weaver thats just kelli's snare :)

8 year IV heroin (mostly) addict. I feel you, bro. It gets better.

You’re not alone… hope this finds you doing better

I hope you have found peace.

Try porcupine tree 😊

​@@TonyCruz_Music I'd say failure are better

Ditto

Egg-zackly!

GetzGoth 3113 abso-LUTELY!

Best version

Yes!

x3 colegas! pedazo de banda!!!

Wena ;) Saludos

@@HannsSailence igual amigo

@Doesn't Remind Me Of Anything Nice. Failure is amazing. You should checkout a project the lead singer (ken andrews) did after failure broke up. The project was simply called “ON,” and it was released by Sony Music in either 1999 or early 2000s. It’s very unique and great stuff. Also, another great band who’s also hardly known of, but has a similar classic guitar rock sound as Failure, is Fugazi. I totally recommend them. Start with their album “13 rooms.” “The argument” album is good too, but “13 rooms” was my fav.

I didn’t either. They have some bangers.

not afraid to admit i'd say over 1k to see failure!

@@nataliealtemose9191 You mean you’d PAY over $1k to see them? That’s insane, btw.

100% accurate.

I think you might want to rethink your understanding of the song

They’re probably APC fans who don’t like this cover lol

@@benkelly7182 failure did the original, apc did the cover.

@cookie Queen That was the joke

i'm so with you on this one. i was a teenager in the late 90's and wow was the music amazing :)

I dont understand 90s nostalgia. In the 90s we said the music sucked now and was better in the 70s.

Youngster nostalgia. There's wonderful music out there, you just have to find it.

Ditto followed Failure since 97 love their musical work and was a pleasure to go to the Anniversary of Fantastic Planet!!! Cheers Failure!!!

You got that remix 😉

@@FrazierGregory I sure did, and it is excellent!

Wow! It does. Good ear

+robin s Wonder why? :)

Cameron Howard ^^ i missed this sound

I just discovered this band this week lol so even though it came out 1996, it's new to me!

+Sabir Abdulhasanzade oh another space song ;)

Very vitting in the current events, no? lol

I'm here from 1952. I plugged my inverter in backwards.

AuburnAnhedonia now that you mention it... yeah, sort of! only because he's aged a bit imo, his younger voice didn't sound like this

yes this is a Failure original. i suggest you check them out. they're awesome!!

it's their original. APC made a cover ;)

Claire Rousseau whammy pedal, I guess

It sounds like an octave pedal and a wah combined to me. (Maybe digitech?)

It isn't lol the A Perfect Circle version is a cover though
