the girl with the blue hair is how i felt as i watched my girlfriend dance at slowdive's gig at rock city in nottingham in march 1991, she was beautiful like the music ............ 2.5hrs later i was in a coma for 17 weeks after a near fatal motorcycle crash........ she stayed by my side every day playing slowdives music....
That touched me. The husband of a girlfriend of me had a motorcycle accident a few days before. The good news are, he has only an broken arm, not more. Nonetheless, it was intensive for all of us. And hearing slowdive is very emotional for me (the reasons are another reasons, not this), so this message here touched me. What a wonderful happy end for both of you. :)
Most of them are probably 15 years old and haven't lived a day of real life. Once they've had a little time to get smacked around with the reality stick they'll maybe grow up a bit and get it. Hopefully, when the s$$t hits their fan, someone will be there to record it and post it on RU-vid so that they can enjoy life on the other side. [TO MAKE IT CLEAR] I'm talking here about the people who are giving her grief, not about her. How on earth anyone could mistake that I don't know but apparently a lot of folks did.
It sort of became the thing to do during Slowdive shows I think. I saw Slowdive in London in 2017 and two young girls next to me were crying during When the Sun Hits. One of them cried all through out the concert.
I'm 47. Music and movies still make me cry all the time. I've had my ass kicked by life as much as anybody, but thankfully didn't let it break my spirit. I hope you recover your inner blue-haired girl before you die.
I totally understand the blue haired girl in the audience. She's young and at that age you feel emotions so violently and urgently that you can't help but cry. I'm 52 and I still cry when I listen to songs, maybe for different reasons to her but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that we're all made the same, and we all have an inner urge to express our feelings and emotions. This music is perfect for exploring ourselves and dive into our own dark sea. So, never be afraid to cry. It's liberating, and it purifies your soul.
I come back to this video so often. So beautiful. Slowdive's drummer, Simon Scott is a good friend of mine, one of the warmest human beings you could ever meet. Stellar band and so glad that they gifted us with, a most welcome return.
Of course, you and I will watch and comment on this epic video, Ian. I've watched this many times and cannot get through it without crying my fvcking eyes out, Brother 🖤 Simon Scott! YESSSS 🙏🏼
Guys, blue haired crying girl is one of my best friends in Belgium and a very beautiful person. She loves Slowdive more than anyone I know. Stop giving her shit because she's under 25. She's one of the smartest and sensitive people I know. Coming across this just now was extremely awkward for me though!
Lol I'm watching this on RU-vid and I still have tears in my eyes. Had a similar moment in a Mogwai show I went to as well. Screw those who are giving her shit.
To be honest, if there is any band or icon out there that is worth crying over, its slowdive, not because of who they are, but because of how beautiful their music is, its just moving in every way.
verveine m I'm glad we both have the same spiritual views on Slowdive, we need people who have interests in these by-gone gems to become more common because i can count on one hand how many friends i have which actuall know who Slowdive are (1)
Nothing wrong with getting emotional at a concert. For me, that’s the whole point of going - not to pose or be seen. I don’t know this song or the band, but the chord progression is very emotional.
@@AshleyPomeroy no, this is fairly recent... Slowdive are still touring, they just released a new single, and they have a new album set to be released later this year! I think the band members are all in their 50s now if I'm correct
The effect of music is just absolutely insane if you think about it. Just some soundwaves but they make people completely lose control over their emotions. This is such amazing art. It is insane what Slowdive are able to do. One of the little things that make many of us who suffer from this soulless concrete jungle lifestyle we live in 24/7 feel alive. Soundwaves that actually make us feel like humans in this horrible world where humanity went almost completely missing.
Well said.... A drop for you, 🥃..and 1 for the guest as well!!(🥃there ya go,Aggserp!!!!).. 😌😁🥃(mine lol)..

@@CRUASSANFAN I doubt she knew she was the only one in the audience that's being filmed and going on the thumbnail of a >1 mio. viewed video on youtube.
I felt exactly like the blue haired girl when I saw them play this song live. Cried throughout the whole show. There's nothing in the world that makes me have feelings quite like Slowdive does. Love this band forever.
@@sharinglungs3226 It's okay to hate if you're afraid to feel any other human emotion. We all do it sometimes. But do not mistake her being able to express her vulnerability with being unstable.
Neil shredding like he's 22 again. A beautiful thing to see. I thought he'd finish the rest of his days strumming his acoustic guitar like some street busker. This is where he belongs.
Two years ago tonight on Nov 10, 2017, I saw Slowdive in Toronto play this song as an encore to their show. Most amazing musical experience I have ever had. The next morning, I received a call that my dad died. This is his requiem, and I felt him there, listening it with me. Love you dad.
❤❤😢😢...so wird,dein papa immer bei dir sein ..im schönsten und schlimmsten zeitpunkt.......denk dran er ist in deinem herzen Manchmal findet das schiksal den richtigen zeitpunkt ....damit dein papa,in die unendlichkeit gehen kann .....wow was für ein lied,....
When you're so emotionally connected to music like I am this happens often. I have cried at many concerts and even while performing . Some people just don't get it and never will. I feel you blue haired girl.
True, Ive been to Cure concerts and seen people get emotional, at Simon and Garfunkel concerts, raves...whether or not chemically induced when the music hits you ...
Originally Written by James Joyce as a poem, then turned into a song by Syd Barrett in 1969, then covered by Slowdive. quite a journey this tune has been on
It’s a beautiful thing to see that music can move someone to tears. Isn’t that what it’s all about... music transporting emotion. All power and love to the ‘Blue Haired Girl’. I cried for twenty minutes when I saw Goldfrapp perform ’Tales Of Us’ live in Berlin.
4:02 A beautiful moment. Its weird, I`m 44 now, but I remember what that was like. It still happens occasionally, not quite as often as when I was that girls age, but It still happens.
twobyfour That has nothing to do with age. There just is certain amount of people who literally live by, on, and during music. I have my eyes sweatin' on many songs, and goosebumps on so many more. And that is in while alone in my room. Feeling the music at a concert is just a complete another dimension. I can 100% understand the girl. She's amazing.
I'm 49 and I have realized that my heart has closed itself throughout the years. When you're young like that girl, your heart is an open chest. You take everything in and you can have beautiful emotional moments like that. That's the beauty of youth. Then life takes its toll on you and you build that wall around yourself to protect yourself. But I still have the occasional moments when it opens itself for a while. It's not as intense as what she's experiencing but it's nice to know that it can still happen. To be alive and rejoicing in musical ecstasy.
one of the biggest truths someone has expresed. youth is youth and nothing can be compared to this. the experiences , the wisdom and all these importants facts of life even if you get them by aging you always find your self ready to exchange them for some moments like the one the young girl is offering. when you get old you loose all that feeling and you are ashamed to your self to express your feelings. so you are staying alone late at night on weekends hearing the music you like and you find your self crying for the lost youth ,and when you hear some noise like somebody is waking up ( my child) you wipe your tears quickly. it is the tragic of aging to remember the days you did not have any responsibilities and had all the time to love, cry, dance ,drink and taste life. this is why life is unfair. it gives you ALL the bliss quickly and lets you aftewards with the sense of not capable of feeling deeply and with this image of your self's withering.
Honestly, this is such great performance, it’s a shame to see people bashing and humiliating somebody who is going deep down emotionally with such extraordinary music. I don’t know who you are Blue Angel, one thing for sure, you are MAGNIFICENT.
Lean out your window, golden hair I heard you singing in the midnight air My book is closed, I read no more Watching the fire dance, on the floor I've left my book, I've left my room For I heard you singing through the gloom Singing and singing, a merry air Lean out the window, golden hair...
I saw Slowdive in Oslo (Øya) on the 9th of August. It was a stunning performance, and the ending, Golden Hair, was the best ending ever. I felt like the girl with the Blue Hair, inside my 43 years old heart. Some people cried, of joy, during the whole concert. If you`ll get the chance, please go to a Slowdive concert during your lifetime.
First time I saw them live was as a teenager around 1992, and I was in awe. The audience was truly captivated by their performance with eyes glued to the stage.
I was listening to this song with my girlfriend who passed away in a car accident while i was driving , I wish I died instead of her R.I.P Sarah 8/7/2019 she was a golden hair girl 💔
Ich weis,noch wie ich das erste mal luxuslärm gehört habe .....wow,...wie viel liter tränen ea waren weis ich nicht ....das,ging ganz tief ins,herz ..wow,...❤
It's so nice to see people who really love music for the sheer beauty of it. There's so much factory written b.s. on the radio these days and so many people who settle for it. Blue haired girl gets it, Slowdive gets it, I get it & it's better to share than any drug. Thank God for bands like Slowdive.
I’m 42 and have only recently discovered Slowdive, I love music generally but this is an absolute masterpiece amazing. I’m so glad I played FIFA 19 and liked the song “star roving” on it as it led me to come across this. Can’t believe it’s a Syd Barrett song too, I’m a huge (or at least I thought I was) Pink Floyd fan so the Syd Barrett connection is strong. Blue haired girl is exactly how music can make me feel. Nothing beats listening to this stuff on a nice pair of headphones. My new favourite band. Where have I been for the last 25years? 🤷♂️
I couldnt agree more, i grew up in the grunge age especially smashing punkpins, radiohead later tool, and always doors, pink floyd etc. Why on earth i only notice this band now! Coincidently i choose to see the video cause the still picture was of the blue haired girl and i thought if it could produce this kind of emotion i had to see it, and DAMM im happy i did. Im an audio freak as well so listening through great headphones is just the best!
I saw them in Portugal this summer and my reaction was just like the girl. I felt like I could fly wheb they play that song, in the end me and my friends look to each other, with tears on our faces and think "Wtf has happen here?"
I've seen them four times this year and I've been the blue haired girl every time during Golden Hair. I've seen a lot of good shit live but this song is the most powerful thing emotionally. The notes they're playing, the build-up and the crescendo just does something special to you, it hits just right and breaks your heart. If you haven't seen them live, go do it and feel the magic. Even if you have to fly to another fucking country, do it. It's worth it. You'll feel reborn walking away from that concert.
So sad that I do not have enough money to fly and also my parents will not allow me to go because we are arab But I look forward to visiting them soon because I am a big fan
If I was in Slowdive, that beautiful person with blue hair crying would be the everything, the justification of all the years of doing it. This power to resonate and move people is pure magic / music. Slowdive you are soundtracking our lives, our losses, our loves and we are all the person with blue hair, in tears, at the end of it all.
hey I'm the crying girl i freaking love the cure too :) only saw them once when I was 15 and that was so special. except for the old dudes in the crowd acting like me and my friends were 'too young to be a real fan of the cure' lol ppl like that need to be stopped
I think I have watched this video like a hundred times since last week. I just can't stop. It's atmostpheric, dreamy, perfect. I envy the blue haired girl for being there, just a little bit, she's my animal spirit.
This is the first song I listened to, from Slowdive. They've been around for 30 years, what the fk was I doing? Better late than never...Thank you YT, but most of all thank you Slowdive!
I just discovered this band and this song and this the the song I want for my funeral. If you don't feel anything listening to it, it's because you are dead...
It’s 130am and I couldn’t sleep but these beautiful music and of course beautiful people of Slowdive brought me into another level of calmness… Thank you guys! 🙏
