Sings like Bowie, looks like Rotten. Either way, this is one of the greatest songs ever and this is best version of the song, period. Love how he sings the end here.
was an awesome time to see them,i was fortunate enough to see them at massey hall toronto,4th row floor,what a show....they just gave and gave,it was a magical night for sure,i so agree with you the late 70`s early eightees was the center of a musical revolution....
@@bauhaus1961 even Call My By Your name aside, it's a song about gay people fighting oppression/loving the way they want to love so it's a bittersweet song. These lines in particular: They'd put us on a railroad They'd dearly make us pay For laughing in their faces And making it our way There's emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all And take us all apart
I’m glad that “call me by your name” brought a lot of people to this song and band...makes me wonder how many other great songs by bands from the 80’s could be revitalized by proper use in an excellent film 🤔
Just saw The Psyches a little over a week ago. Still going strong. So many memories with this and so many other Psyches tunes. From ecstatic and boundless sky highs, to the deepest crushing depths. The 80's will *FOREVER* rule my world. *_THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS RULE..._*
Impressive to hear the "Ahwww Hoooo" part actually being done live! All of the acoustic versions done the recent years are pretty wild sounding too.....
I seen them in concert more then 5 times. Each version of this song is unique depending on condition of his voice might be in. One of my favorite bands of the 80's.
I found it interesting that the hired on keyboard player keeps the root "E" on the 2nd time loop instead of a "G"...I've always wanted to ask Todd if he played that in the studio. Hmmm, maybe a question for him in ATL this Oct.
My husband was singing that orrible "and i ran" song and i channelled my most fav song from back then and luckily remembered "love my way" what a song, great band
I am blown away by you guys. This is my favorite song of the era. So happy to see tours still happening and even happier to see you rocking it harder than you thirty years ago! I was born in '87, very possibly concieved to this joint!.... The first time I discovered how cool my dad really is was him telling me about listening to this song on LSD on quadraphonic 4.0? Speakers on vinyl and it blowing his mind. I had always associated trippy music with earlier decades but my tripping play list has always included this and stuff spanning from 140 years ago to present...
The Psychedelic Furs have always been a top notch, "A-list" band that have rightfully *earned* their *_own_* merit. Sad to see them constantly being held up to the Bowie/The Cure "yardstick" as if those artists have a monopoly on this style or genre of music...
River of Blacklights, if you notice, those comparisons between Bowie/the Cure are either from people who didn't grow up in the 80s or lack musical knowledge and ability to discern sounds and vocals.
I went to see them a few years ago. I thought, what the hell, its something to do, no big deal. OMG! I'm so glad I went! These guys are nothing short of real pros!!! They are tight and consistent. I left feeling like I just saw Kiss or Ozzy! Ass kicking concert! Dude sings like a champ! Band is right on the money!
ghost in you is my favorite pfurs song. I saw them in 1990 in san diego -- hands down the very best concert I have ever seen. It was at USD in what was the basketball arena. Incredibly small venue, and they owned it. I had the concert tshirt until a few years ago, when it finally turned to dust from being worn so much.
Don't hate me. I'm 28 now and I'm here due to CMBYN. This song is just so fucking haunting, makes me feel like I'm into a party which only exists in my dreams, with a new love who only exists in my head. I wanna cry...
The tempo of this version could be slower than the original but it still sounds AMAZING, different... their performance is really good, much, better than any millennial auto tuned band/singer from these days.
The Furs are one of the bands that have no equal... They are so unique that to sound similar would be to copy. Even if its a song I don't recognize, I instantly know its the Furs.
This band has been rocking for a long time I saw them early days there's was nothing came close and honestly very underestimated and talk talk talk is the nuts when your in the mood..👍
Karla DeVito sang back up. I first heard her on the Breakfast Club soundtrack (the part where they're all dancing). It's funny how these people are all connected.
