Lush - Sweetness and Light (Official Video) 

Absolutely 👍❤️

True. Still glad I have the CD I purchased back in '92.

Yes!

Don't forget My Bloody Valentine

Catherine Wheel and Swervedriver, too 🍻

Curve and Lush perhaps

Saw them both during the summer of '92. Awesome shows, especially Curve.

Let’s not leave out The Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil

I saw them open at Albany in 92 and they were awesome there! I actually didn’t know much about them prior to that show - bought their CDs on campus that fall.

Saw the show in Pittsburgh, not knowing anything about them, and I was hooked immediately. I owned Gala within the week. I thought the crowd was perfectly friendly toward them.

Saw them that year at Lollapalooza in Irvine and Miki made a similar snarky comment there too.

Yeah, I saw them for that tour in Minnesota. My friends and I arrived early as they were one of the bands we wanted to see most. They were very appreciative and played a great show!

and in Toronto (Barrie) - they started the pit in broad daylight - it was awesome. i only watched a couple of Chili tunes and took a time out during Ice Cube. the rest was in the pit from Lush to Ministry

I wish i could peck it gently and fly away on a fluffy cloud with all my other pullet friends :)

It’s called heroin

I TOTALLY AGREE,I can't make it through a day without listening to this .I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS SONG.

Back in the day people thought they were somehow less than MBV and Slowdive, but these guys -- specifically this song -- were my introduction to shoegaze. It was Lush who got me hooked and I will always love them.

Mike that sucks really these guys have been around long than Slowdive yet Slowdive gets all the praise

@@montyryan3018 yeah i enjoy listening to Lush way more than Slowdive and I think Slowdive is really good. Lush seems a little more diverse and I just enjoy their overall sound better.

Pale shadow of "Cocteau twins" and no more....

Not underrated at all. Played Lolla. Was on the 4AD label. Not underrated. Learn the definition of underrated, then comment.

What a glorious way for your ear drums to d13, I salute 🫡 you

nice choice of words: heavenly and ethereal. This tranquility makes you fall asleep

This was mostly due to the production work of Robin Guthrie who produced them to the album Spooky (1991). Their sound changed dramatically on the later records which in my opinion had somewhat lost the magic

Tulipe Noire true. i think they had to intentionally bring down that 'magic' to a certain level so as to appeal to the mainsream audience. I guess they werent really that popular....which is a fucking shame if you ask me.

Agreed. And until recently, thanks to the internet, I never knew the words. Not that it matter to me at all. The "heavenly" and "ethereal" sound was so awesome, I didn't even care what she was singing. The lyrics dance lightly atop the wall of sound and they almost might have been in another language.

one modern band that is similar to LUSH is NO JOY. i love shoegaze.

They look like angels too

This statement just made me think that yes if there were a Heaven this is what angels would sound like

because they are

I think the sound an angel would make is pretty subjective to the individual.

Yes, Kate Boston...if Angel's had formed a band...this could be the result.

***** werent xymox releasing bollocks like Metamorphosis around this time?

+Cocteau Twins. Was too young to grow up with it but I can appreciate it as someone who loves good music.

YC BC indeed

Don't forget Curve and Chapterhouse

Music is still here, and so are we. Life is good.

Except Emma

@@f.w.2054 I♥Emma

I think her looks probably helped

I was 29 when this came out but felt like you did. After a long day at work I'd put this on and just chill out. My daughter turned 10 that year and became a Lush fan in her teens. We both still love this song at 59 and almost 40.

@@Rauoul right there with you lads

I'm assuming you folks are into Cocteu Twins as well.

who??

It brings you right into an unhealthy relationship full of accusations.

fuckin hell, but it is still ace

That means I was 18 when it was released... where did it go?

already. 30 years flashing by. saw them live with Pale Saints in April 90. son't seem to remember a thing. must have been the reverb causing my brain storage to run behind in I/O

Saw then a Sheffield Poly supported by spitfire in 1990. I kind of remember it was brilliant. I think. Christ, it was before the internet was invented!

I had completely forgotten about this song, but clicked on it because the thumbnail looked like something I might like. The music starts and I think "Hey, this does sound pretty good". Then 00:19 hits and my brain says "Holy shit. I remember this song, and I especially remember that guitar lick." I was 12 when this was released. Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug when it really hits you hard, and I'm ecstatic that this song is back in my life.

S Lo help me build a time machine. Let’s go back

We all do. I miss early 90's especially.

@@isaiahd781 As long as we can stay there.

I wish I heard this in the 90's

@@blo7332 i did

You're so lucky! I first discovered Lush RIGHT AFTER they had already left the Bay Area on that tour. (I think I read a review in the Daily Cal or something.) I didn't get to see them until they played at Slim's on the Spooky tour the following year.

When Ivo was still at the helm. I think he's gone now. I checked-out the 4AD website a couple of months ago, found a ton of new bands but could not find anything I could relate to. A shame for what was once a great label. I think their last great signing might have been St Vincent but she's moved on now... and become a not very good pop star. On the subject of 'marrow', look-up St Vincent 'Marrow'

And add 80's The Cure, The Smiths orNew Order.

@@vojtechelias8402 you get it my unknown friend.

loved 120 minutes...caught Cocteau Twins there...

Yes, 120 minutes, those were the times. I still have video tapes lying around with full broadcasts but unfortunately no time to edit them.

@@GertVeltink my local AOR (album oriented rock) FM station here on the east coast of the states played the program "Rock Over London"...which was basically an essential alternative/mainstream British top 40. Great for us Americans who got tired of the same ol' sometimes stale format.

I was at that gig too. Great night.

MaskedMan66. took the words right outa my brain,cocteau twins do the same thing,wish we could all get together and jam while listening to this music,how cool would that be?

Gotham United Yes definitely

I was there (Dallas Show). Took a 4-square of Orange Sunshine, and enjoyed what is, to this day, one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen.

I was at Lollapalooza 1992 in Saratoga (SPAC). I was there for Lush and Ministry, everyone else was there for goddam RHCP. Lush looked so lonely up there early in the day with the indoor part of the amphitheater largely empty.

Always more grandiose in your head/memories than on some fucking cellphone.

Grant F Amazing how I have the exact same memory. I was 17 and took my first road trip with my friends from Timmins to Barrie, for me primarily to see Lush. Not only were they the first band on stage that gorgeous sunny day, they were literally the first live band I ever saw. Miki's flowing red hair flowing in the summer breeze is a memory that will stay with me for life.

I was at the infamous 1992 Lollapalooza Jones Beach, New York. You know the lineup: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush. Wow...the best bill of any gig in history. Lush played first (loved them) and then a flash hurricane blew in and trashed the whole stage. Concert cancelled! I paid a scalper $400 for two great seats and all I saw was Lush! Scalpers don't give refunds. Four hundred bucks to see a twenty minute set by Lush. I was called a Lollapa-loser by everyone that week.

I would never do something as perverse as driving a car, but that does not mean that I do not know exactly what you mean ;)

Christopher O. Indeed - quite a beautiful slice of Heaven.... I'm can see you enjoying this on the road. I was listening to this driving north in the countryside up to Liverpool a month and a half ago, in bright afternoon sunlight.

Your life sounds way cooler than mine.

till it overheats

I feel you bro.. Try jamming to it on the Istanbul - Bosphorus, chilling on a sunday dawn, after a beautiful techno night.. driving ;)

Only thirthy years...

His passing was the reason why Lush stopped . 😢

Mountain Prairie West Agreed luv!

Lol Not in this autotune era

Wow...I was into Death, Kreator, Slayer, and Deicide at the time. I'm now 41 and discovering Lush just now. I love them...simple guitars, great bass lines and vocals that altogether just make you feel good. Great band!

I bought Gala when I was an 18 year old kid in 1990. I had just gotten to college as a freshman never had lived away from home. Used to chill out in my dorm room to this song. Still brings back alot of memories for me.

Turned onto them by a man at a Urbana ill record store said I would like more 4ad label people and I do love dead can dance gave great mlami show

+coffycup75 i'm so jealous of you right now! good jealous, don't worry hehe :)

get you 100 year old peers on here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right? Physical video tape was required in editing, even if they had the latest software.

I remember that day. I was lucky enough to have had prior warning - I attended the Reading Festival a month earlier. I knew it was coming but had no idea of the scale nor impact.

I hear it in this order: See my life (I've been so tired) See my self (I've been uptight) See my life (I've been so tired) See my sight (I could disappear) See with you memories fading fast And with you it's never going to last You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise See with you I never seemed to look the other way Only to stay, only to breathe Only to see That space and light is what I really need You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise I never wanted to tell lies You are the sweetness in my eyes You are the sweetness in my eyes You are the sweetness in my eyes You are an apple in disguise You are the juice I need for life You are the sweetness in my eyes

Thanks makes song even more enjoyable.

All I'm going to say is... The TITLE OF THE F**KING SONG! "you are the/my sweetness and my light?" -- it's in the title. srsly.

Ty

Thank you

The lucky pup!

@@enzodisciullo2557he is my sweetness and my light. I'm the lucky one.

47 here…I remember when I got the Spooky cassette.✌️

So true. Back in those days, if it was on 4AD and had a female vocalist, I was pretty much guaranteed to love it.
