Label: All Nations Records Format: Vinyl, 12" Country: UK Released: Jun 1991 "Goodbye Horses," is featured in the motion picture film "Silence Of The Lambs." Also From The Movie "Married To The Mob" (1988)
According to its writer, "the song is about transcendence over those who see the world as only earthly and finite. The horses represent the five senses discussed in the Bhagavad Gita and the ability to lift one’s perception above these physical limitations and to see beyond this limited Earthly perspective."
@Peeping Tom Sooner or later we all have to come to terms with the fact that we are meat bags with fluids and rise above that. Some only get it as they draw their last breath, some find the strength to figure it out sooner. I hope I'll find the strength.
@@simonfrederiksen104 I don't believe in god, as only an evil god would create this world....but I have seen that the afterlife exists....so it is puzzling. When I die I guess I will know more.
@@fortheloveofnoise If there is a "God" it is obviously beyond our comprehension. For all we know black holes in space may be it's eyes. But I believe it's very human to put the question forth, otherwise we would still be climbing trees with our brothers and sisters. Besides, good and evil are human concepts, part of our tendency to put a label on everything, put it into an order we seem to be able to control on some level, when more often than not control is beyond us, control of ourselves, control of those around us, or the world we live in.
Heard once in silence of the lambs. Couldn't get it out of my mind. Weeks looking for it. Found it. I now soar among the clouds listening to it regularly. 👄💋
Yeah its a great song. First found it on one of the radio stations in a video game called "grand theft auto IV" Also heard it in the movie "silence of the lambs" great song.
It was featured in the movie the silence of the lambs. One of the most epic scene in that movie. It opened the floodgate of expression and what was to be the acceptance of all. As well as the reality that there existed a number of feelings that could not be easily explained.
Q LAZZARUS thank you for this masterpiece it has helped me throughout the years! I feckin love LOVE LOVE, AM ADDICTED ! RIP DIANA! YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED!
@@jasbarsoph She wasn't agree with Big Bosses..., And than "you becom" a Buss Driver. Bevor thay halp you, you have to lose your soul...! Not everyone wants to exchange soul for money and success
Sad story...Quiana escaped an abusive relationship before becoming a musician, had some modest success but not the level she truly deserved. She then left for the UK to reinvent herself after American record labels wouldn't sign her because they didn't think she was marketable...not representative of what people expect a new wave or dark wave or rock musician should look like. Met a guy who basically repeated the abusive relationship the originally escaped, whereabouts currently unknown and presumed dead by former band members and business associates. A damn shame :(
If only I knew what the "Q" stood for. She's amazingly talented and I am in love with her. I too thought it to be a Robert Smith of The Cure or Neil Tennant or even David Gahan. Boy she sure had me fooled. Probably the most underrated singer & song of the 20th century. 'Won't you listen to me.'
she is awesome, I even shared this cut of "Q" with a boss at work and he too thought she was an effeminate white male. Now that I have listened to it for 100X times I can hear this "sister" coming thru in the background. God did bless this "Q" she was on the rise and could have been the next Nina Simone in my opinion and "please do not disagree" for she was on the rise.
do you think the track being used as a track for the killer in silence of the lambs, his imitating a woman as bets he could and as how he saw women, might have given him this gender bending perspective? ... great voice, but I would think Q is more part of a band, where as Nina is the music, with the band almost being incidental... so "I must disagree sir" :)
Daniel Murray I totally agree. I’ve been listening to this song since I was 11yo in the 80’s and only in the last 4 years or so learned it was a black woman. Until then, I too, thought it was another all white New Wave band, possibly from London, like the Pet Shop Boys or Depeche Mode or something. I have a killer 80’s New Wave playlist I’ve been cultivating over the last couple of decades and this song is in the top 25 for sure. One band I notice people forget when they make these playlists are The Cure. They were, in my opinion, the absolute best of those bands. ValePlace I don’t think so tho. It’s a good theory but I had already been a fan of this song with that assumption in mind, gotten sick of it and stopped playing it and THEN “The Silence Of The Lambs” came out and resparked my love for this song. I got sick of it again eventually and only occasionally heard it on my 80’s playlist when Clerks 2 came out and reignited it again LOL
@Neg Ative The Cure are being forgotten as an 80s Post punk/new wave/goth playlist staple? For shame! When I think of that era, The Cure along with Joy Division damn near steered the entire course of music that entire decade. Bauhaus, Siouxee and the Banshees (which Robert Smith also played guitar in for a bit), New Order (Joy Division post-Ian Curtis's suicide), Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, The Church... all heavily heavily influenced by The Cure and Joy Division. It is funny though, the earlier years of the Cure set the tone but it wasn't until 10 years later coming into the 90's after the back to back gems Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (88) Disintegration (89... widely considered their "masterpiece" with Love Song, Lullaby and Fascination Street and Pictures Of You all on it) they really popped. I guess I see your point, haha.
it's my personal theme. meant a lot to me. at first it's about a resignation unto insanity. then it became about not giving up on dreams, and daring to keep it alive.
LYRICS: Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh He told me, "I see the rise, but it always falls I see them come, I see them go" He said, "All things pass into the night" And I said, "Oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me? He told me, "I've seen it all before I've been there I've seen my hopes and dreams lying on the ground" "I've seen the sky just begin to fall" He said, "All things pass into the night" And I said, "Oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me? Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you Goodbye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
i tried to find more of their music but I don't think there is, a shame, i love this track i can listen to over and over, it has a 80s feel, deep especially the reference to the Gita and the horses symbolising our 5 senses and our need transcend this material worlder, has a resonance with me. almost like a death of this fake illusionary reality and transcend to who we really are. i often wonder if the keepers controllers of this world wish to keep us locked in 5 sense reality samsara. peace love in these times Lindsey x
She sounds like a black female with a deep voice...almost tracy chapman like. You don't associate it a black person because of the music, the instrumentation is very new wave, dark wave etc. The very first time I heard it (Lambs 1991 in the theatre), it was the instrumentation that first got me, because it was so different for a mainsream movie was written by WILLIAM GARVEY, who dabble in music amongst other things, he did as jobs. this woman was part of the band...and what a choice he made, heard many voices do the song, but they dont do the music justice
Zoch Buppet Was talking with my pal today about this tune...we where trying to work out how we found it. Both said Tracy Chapman neither of us like her music but love this. Go figure
I was so glad to discover this 12” version,being associated with the movie silence of the lambs,although a highly successful movie don’t get me wrong it’s the unessesary sexual comments that over shadows any chance of decent conversation it’s a shame really because the track it’s self is so good and provides an interesting platform for music lovers,everyone is entitled to there opinion of course but come on enough is enough?.Theres not much out there by Q lazzurus thanks DIYSynth great upload.
Nicola Mcdermott Well, have you seen how it is used in the movie “Clerks 2”? It’s really good - Maybe that will be more to your liking? You can watch it here on RU-vid
How was this song viewed and/or appreciated before being used in the film? My understanding was it was released in 1988 - three years prior to the film's release. I am 45.
Good-bye horses I'm flying over you Good-bye horses I'm flying over you Good-bye horses I'm flying over you Good-bye horses I'm flying flying flying over you. He told me, I see you rise But, it always falls I see you come, I see you go He said, All things pass into the night" And I said, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me He told me, I've seen it all before I’ve been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams A lying on the ground I've seen the sky just begin to fall He said, "All things pass into the night" And I said, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me Good-bye horses I'm flying over you Good-bye horses I'm flying over you Good-bye horses I'm flying over you Good-bye horses I'm flying flying flying over you
Wow this is like my 50th hearing and only on this track it is clearly a female Black women singing! How did I miss this? Why so many little views and also the original by Q Lazzarus. That's fucked up everyone is viewing the "Buffalo Bill " version. That mutherfucker actor did a good job as he creeps me out! Check the Family guy version, tummy aches from laughing! Oh Chris "tucks" in FAMILY GUY! LOL
RedThebigOneInfantry The Jay and Silent Bob version from “Clerks 2” is the fucking best version!!! Check it out on here! I used to “know” that kid from the mall (only peripherally - we weren’t like friends outside of the mall or anything) back before they were in movies and he is ACTUALLY like that in real life! Dude is funny as hell!!!
