As a bass player myself i only can agree... always underrated, never really admired - but doing the job in the background. Honestly... I like it that way, no need to shine - just doing my "job".
Actually she is smiling and even laughing on stage and in interviews. And it's quite lovely when she does that. She's just not smiling in this video during this song. Maybe she was smiling less in her early career. And actually it is a pretty grim and dark song. But newer live versions of this song can be more powerful and somehow more uplifting.
Garbage had a moderate level of success throughout the vast majority of their career, while still growing and changing things up from album to album. Just my opinion, but that's better than being a one-hit-wonder any day of the week. And their first album... what an amazing first album the likes of which aren't seen by many at all. If you mean "Why didn't they grow bigger after their 1st album?", I think they would have imploded and become that 1-or-2 album wonder. Much better to have a sustained, if not stratospheric career. ...and as a semi-professional Bassist, Daniel Shulman's interpretation of the studio version is just sex. Playing slightly behind the beat to create far more of a groove with the drums.
@@therealscarred2112 the bass is what makes this song so memorable...it changes it Into something else all together. I think that's what garbage so good. They had a sound that was very unique to them.
this live performance is the best I have seen. the depth of emotion, the lyrics ,are as heavy as it gets .listen to it every day never tire of it ,utterly brilliant.
Enveloped and sealed in time. Not even these imposter 90s kids wannabes today understand that this music was imperial at the time. Eventually hip hop, r&b and dreaded Britany and boy bands took the lead. And even today parents let their kids takeover the music selections instead of showing them the way.
F*cking holy sh*t. Many years later this song still tears me apart and this performance probably will be forever its best version. I’ve seen Garbage live 7 times but one show will hold a very special place in my heart until my very last breath. It’s a 20 Years Queer show in Moscow in 2015 and I remember when they performed #1 Crush then in the same version I thought that my life was complete. I could die right there without any regrets because I would die a happy man.
LYRICS I would die for you I would die for you I've been dying just to feel you by my side To know that you're mine I will cry for you I will cry for you I will wash away your pain with all my tears And drown your fear I will pray for you I will pray for you I will sell my soul for something pure and true Someone like you See your face every place that I walk in Hear your voice every time that I'm talking You will believe in me And I will never be ignored I will burn for you Feel pain for you I will twist a knife and bleed my aching heart And tear it apart I will lie for you Beg and steal for you I will crawl on hands and knees until you see You're just like me Violate all the love that I'm missing Throw away all the pain that I'm living You will believe in me And I can never be ignored I would die for you I would kill for you I would steal for you I'd do time for you I will wait for you I'd make room for you I'd sail ships for you To be close to you To be part of you 'Cause I believe in you I believe in you I would die for you
It's written Loreley. It's a 400 ft high rock on the bank of the Rhine (and also a legendary beautiful maiden who committed suicide because of her unfaithful lover by jumping from the steep rock into the river, then becoming a siren who lures shipmen to their dooms with her hypnotizing voice; indeed many boat accidents have happened there due to the stong current and rocks under the water).
Very good example that good music don't need no fancy show on stage... really like that stuff a lot. What a pity I never saw them at a live show back then.
This song and garbage in particular reminds me of my high school girlfriend in 1995 and just cruising around in my car and going to parties and being intimate with her. Love this song!!!
Weekend is here fans, time for sharing good vibes & paaaarty, let music caress your hearts & sing along some more good old songs & never let any evil dare to harm you guys ❤🎉❤
She isn't a damsel in distress, her vibe is more like, I'm going to follow you home and you won't know until I ring the bell! On stage she looks a little possessed but when she steps back from the microphone stand all you see is a cute girly girl!
I remember when I bought this album back in the 90s, never heard them and bought it purely because of the band name. Was not the genre of music I gravitated towards, but it was ear candy
Sitting in the transmission room at Kent Street Transmission in the Sydney City Telephone exchange in 1998 listening to Shirley Manson. The Technician behind me on the 5th Floor said “Turn that Garbage off?” I said, “No, I am not going to turn it off… And yes it is Garbage.. And Yes I love it mate! No. 1 Crush by Garbage...You’re not touching my Garbage”
The was the first song at my wedding reception, circa 2000. Dirty dancing and grinding mandatory. If you don't like it, look away. One of the sexiest songs of all time.
