Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024?

Too cool for glam, too soon for alternative. They never seemed to fit in....and they were brilliant.

This song never gets old, nor does it fail to give me chills. Love it.

A brilliant band. I am 61 here in 2024 and I listen to The Cult all the time. I miss the early days of The Cult...Sweet Soul Sister

I'm 59 years old and jam to the cult in a heartbeat!! They are to blame for at least two of my speeding tickets !!

One of the most beautiful and saddest songs to come out of the 80's Few people remember who Edie Sedgwick was today, but this song is about her and her demise. She was an actress and model and heavily under the direct influence of Andy Warhol during the "The Factory" years Edie had a whole life and bright future ahead of her, right up to the day she died in her sleep on an overdose of barbiturates. (prescribed as medication) There is a whole lot more to the story, but regardless, the story is a sad one and the Cult gave her an honoring with this amazing song.

Nearly 30 years later and this song still sounds awesome

2022: I got my grandson to listen to this song on Bluetooth in my car. He said, "Grandma this is a great song and outstanding group". He said he would put it on his playlist and listen to it when he gets back to San Diego to the Marine base and let his fellow Marines listen to it.

This is really a masterpiece. A culmination of all their amazing songwriting and this is where Billy Duffy really gets to shine. I don’t understand why people of my generation don’t appreciate this music for what it is, but Im just happy that this band was introduced to me. (Billy Duffy is one of my idols)

"Why did you kiss the world goodbye. Dont you know paradise takes time" beautifully written lyrics

there are certain songs that have a magical quality..this is one

How can 52 people dislike this Kick Ass song, those people must be suffering from tone deafness...

Killer song buy one of the best and most underrated bands of all time..

Still amazing in 2023! Deeply touching on a soul level. Rock lives and I love it still!!!! Still beautiful ❤️

Ian Astbury should have been bigger! Totally underrated. He rocks me to my core!

30 years later. STILL gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

I don't always listen to The Cult, but when I do, so do my neighbors!

The Cult are a Cult Classic and if you dont know who they are, you are and have missed out on a big and awesome part of rock history! "Peace Dog" ;P

The Cult tight as hell, so underrated. All of their music is solid!

Who’s here for this GEM in 2020?❤️

One of the top 5 male rock vocalists of ALL TIME!!!

This is not only The Cult's finest song, it is one of rock music's per se - a true masterpiece !

I named my first born Edie. Love this band so much. Can't wait to see them play Sydney Opera House in November. Got tickets today. So pumped.

I've never been a fan of The Cult, as I like thrash/prog metal more. But this song is bloody epic, just can't stop listening to it. And just read about Edie at Wikipedia, poor soul, I hope she is resting in peace now.

Amazing story about Edie Sedgewick, one of Warhol's Super Stars! She died at 28 of substance abuse. Ian Astbury became enchanted with her story! & What a video! One of the BEST VIDEOS EVER!!!

Such a beautiful tribute to Edie and I'm here for it. This is the kind of rock that lives in your soul forever.

Love Ian's powerful vocals and the amazing guitar sound of Duffy. This song gives me the goosebumps. One of their best. A masterpiece without a doubt. Peace.

Very much underrated. Friggin unbelievable lyrics and feelings in their songs

Arguably one of the most underrated bands in Music History!

In my opinion, The Cult was a band with their own ideas and style ...Something difficult to find in those years ...Cheers for them!

Edie Sedgwick is buried in a small cemetery in the Santa Ynez valley right behind the mountains of my town of Santa Barbara. Gonna visit her grave one of these days. Ciao Baby.

Who's still here in 2019 ? Always come back when I want to reminisce.

I remember back in 89 I bought the cassette of this album. Firewoman was the first hit at the time but when I heard this....this was it....one of best songs I ever heard. Still sounds great to this day 33 years later.

In my all time top 5 favorite songs. The guitar riff gives me chills. Ciao Baby

Billy Duffy, showing that you don't need to be the greatest most technical player to be a truly great guitarist

Great fucking tune! Back when MTV was the shit!

What a voice! 😍👏👏👏

Great song!! That riff! I’ve heard this song literally HUNDREDS of times over my many years of being a fan and it always gives me goosebumps. The Cult forever!

They aren’t underrated they are totally understood by people that just know

Who loves this song will live forever! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Always said you were a youthquaker, Edie A stormy little world shaker Oh, Warhol's darling queen, Edie An angel with a broken wing The dogs lay at your feet, Edie Oh, we caressed you cheek Oh, stars wrapped in your hair, Edie Life without a care But your not there Oh, caught up in an endless scene Yeah, paradise a shattered dream Oh, wired on the pills you took, Edie Your innocence dripped blood, sweet child The dogs lay at your feet, Edie Oh, we caressed your cheek Oh, stars wrapped in your hair Oh, life without a care Ciao baby Shake it, boy Oh, sweet little sugar talker Paradise dream stealer Oh, Warhol's little queen, Edie An angel with a broken wing, oh The dogs lay at your feet, Edie Oh, we caressed your cheek, well Stars wrapped in your hair Life without a care yeah, yeah, yeah Don't you know paradise takes time? Ciao baby, yeah Ciao baby Ciao baby, yeah Ciao baby

when i was little my dad would always play this song and it would always make me sad, now understanding the lyrics it completely breaks my heart.

i saw the cult in 1988 they rocked. i love edie. this song kicks ass

Still one of the greatest Cult songs ever.

I'm still listening to this and I'm 70 bringing back memories 😊

Gosh, how I loved this music, him and his...beautiful hair..

This song is about the life of Edie Sedgwick for those who don't know.

Now this is a tribute. Edit Sedgwick got a 100x better tribute than Marilyn Monroe got from Elton John's sapfest "Candle in the Wind", but it was heard by 100x fewer people.

This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

It's 2021, and I had this song in my head all day today!

Is it just me, or is Billy Duffy's guitar solo at 2:07 fucking badass?

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. A Treasure.

Man I love this song. Love this band so underrated. Anyone listening in June 2019? Still sounds fresh. 👍😎🐶Me and my dog Bell Bell love this song.

One of the greatest rock ballads of all time. Hands down

This song should be in encyclopedias as the prime example of power ballad. Emotional yet ferocious ❤️

Easily one of the greatest bands in history!

I have good news and a clarification for an earlier commentator who is referring to this band in the past tense. Although it could be said that they were to cool for Glam and too soon for Alternative, I’m happy to say that the iconic Rock band known as The Cult has never permanently stopped churning-out it’s uniquely creative and powerful brand of Rock music. The great albums keep coming so keep your eyes and ears out for their newest release that’s said to be currently in the works. Ian, Billy and the others are still more than happy to bring their great music straight its’ fans around the world via the road so stay informed because I believe that those tours bringing their blistering shows are yet to come. It can truly be said that the band known as The Cult is “like a fine wine”. (Oh yea . . . . and they still manage to avoid fitting-in and that’s fine by me!)

Fucking great song. And Edie Sedgwick was one beautiful woman.

My friend just passed away last night. And her n I use to jam the cult alot. This song is the first one that popped into my my mind. Thank you guys

This song is underrated it makes me sick!!! One of the best written songs by Ian......Love the string orchestra ..Magical ✌❤🌎💋

EDIE IS MY FAVE SONG OF THE CULT , SIMPLY AMAZING

SONIC TEMPLE one of the best albums in that decade and there was alot of great albums within that decade!!

Ian Astbury was a beautiful man, love that hair!

He was the new Jim Morrisone but he could write, sing and compose and not be controlled by Geffin records.

I named my kid after this song ❤

Remember Edie Sedgwick and try to figure out what she coud be alive today. Gone so soon. Great hommage here. Thanks Ian!

The Cult stands alone. They are timeless

I love this video and the song. Ian is not only absolutely gorgeous he is at his best in performance. The Cult is a fabulous group and are no doubt the best group I have ever heard. I love Billy's leather jacket that says "Manchester" on the back. I know he is proud of where he comes from. I would be too. The live orchestra is an added special bonus.

Such an underrated band. I can't count the times I've gone to parties and put some of their songs and inevitably somebody will say: "I love that song, who plays it?"... ugh. I will never understand why they never got to be as big as say... GNR, for example.

Back when great rock ruled the airwaves. Let's go back.

Music back then was so much better than today's crap all post modern auto tuned bullshit! Back when words in music really meant something put their heart and soul in their work my how times have changed sad......

The dislikes are Kannot West groupies they dislike actual talent 😉

This is about Edie Sedgwick, a socialite who formed part of the artist Andy Warhol's Factory scene in New York in the '60s. Sedgwick featured in several Warhol films, including Poor Little Rich Girl and Beauty No. 2. Her final movie role was as Susan Superstar in Ciao! Manhattan, which was written and directed by John Palmer and David Weisman. This song takes the "Ciao Baby" part of its title from this film. Sedgwick lived a troubled life that was plagued by mental health issues and drug addictions. In 1971, Sedgwick died of an overdose. She was 28 years old. The film, Factory Girl, starring Sienna Miller, is about Sedgwick.

Sonic Temple is an essential 90s rock album. If you’re a music collector this album is all bangers

The Cult,,,, so talented! A true epic rock band 🤟🤟 puts guns and roses to shame! No comparison! None! Thanks for all the killer tracks! You are all bonified and deserve the recognition!

Sonic temple, uno de los mejores discos de la historia del rock.. Tremenda banda!! Y que poco valorada

One of the best rock songs ever written in recent history

Positively a fantastic band. They should have gotten much more recognition than they did. They are so super good and full of talent!!!

I liked them since I bought the Electric Album. I got to see them open for Guns N’ Roses in Atlanta a couple of years ago. Badass !

This may get me death threats, but The Cult is the greatest American rock band not from America. Had they be from California, they’d be bigger than GNR or Metallica, from Seattle, they’d be bigger than Nirvana, from New York bigger than the Ramones. The Cult truly fucking Rock!

Love The Cult!

128 don't like this song? Well then, Ciao baby!

"Warhol's darling queeen!" She was very lovely. Thank you "The Cult" for reminding us.

Unbelievable!!! I miss the 80’s!!

These are such damn awesome songs for eternity!

my god what a killer tune! can listen over and over. never get enough

What a power house Ian was, the sound behind his voice just made him bigger. 😊

This song helped me thru my awkward pre teen stage. Love these guys so talented! One of my fav albums of all time.

The Cult "Sonic Temple" 1989 Their best album...

Probably the best song The Cult recorded.

Little Steven talked about Edie on his Sunday a.m. show on SiriusXM today. Then he played this song. Since I'm old and don't follow the Cult, it took me by surprise. This is a great cut.

Temos sorte de existir a internet para que busquemos no passado essas obras de arte, coisas que não são mais produzidas!! 🌎🇧🇷

Another lost rock classic, from the time of 80s pop! Beautiful!

I still have this cassette, and yes I still listen to it

I grew up a 1/2 Native American with a extremely successful white dad... his second wife was a god send.... after she died this became me.... I’m working on things... she was my rock.... I felt growing up she loved me more... as she slipped away from cancer... her eyes and heart seen me this way. My well off family was racist against me from the word go.... my stepmom and grandparents stood for me against this until they died... I’m a fighter with the strength of their love for me. I am Edie when it comes to life now... to be raised as trash in a extremely successful family is tougher than being born poor. It has made me real... weird! I miss my stepmom as she silently was there for me... she probably looks down from the universe and sees me this way but I’m handling it moms! Peace and love. I feel where Edie Sedgwick went wrong.. peace be with my grandparents and stepmom who made my damn parents be fair to me until they passed. My parents were the dogs at me feet... still are.. but I will sail through it and make my own way! Fk anyone unfair to their children

My favourite Cult song, loved hearing it again.

Rest in Peace, Edie Sedgwick.

Música, fotografia, a modelo, Vídeo, orquestra, tudo lindo! Ahhhh o Ian e o Billy Lindos 😻
