46 years here, I agree with you whole heartedly. My bf and I were talking about how we don't like getting older, but thank goodness we were born when we were. Tje 90s was the last great decade
That song totally encapsulated my entire early adulthood experience. I don't like getting older either. But my memories of that era will never leave me.
Yep that was the 1st time I heard of the Movie Fear soon as I heard it. It had me deep down ima helpless romantic kinda guy kinda moments I always wanted to meet a girl to do walks on the beach to this song playing etc 🥀🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Miss being back in 1996. I was 25 years-old. I’m 50 now. Those years flew by. Thank God I’m healthy as ever and still here to tell about it. Never smoked, drank, or did drugs. Kept my straight and narrow path. Most of the people I hung with back then are now gone. Lonely at times, but I’m still here.
I was 6 years old in 1996. This was one of my mom's favorite songs, and now it's mine. I hope that my 4 year old daughter will grow to love this song too. I'm 30 now lol
I used to listen to this song in 1993 driving in to work at a ski resort in Colorado. Don't know what the 1996 references are for, but yes, this does seem to be a version from the '90s. NOTE: Even the end of the video says: "1993 Geffen Records, Inc."
I feel you. I'm about to turn 44 and the 90s were some of the best years of my life. I'm constantly nostalgic for that decade. Life got so tough after that. Memories keep me going ♥
This song captures perfectly the feeling of nostalgia for me, that ache in your heart for a place that no longer exist. For me, 1982 Delta Colorado, Friday night, off work from Terrell's Restaurant, cruising Main Street, house parties later, I was 19, young and free and i didn't even know it. Memories lost and forgotten like tears in the rain.
Look up the meaning of the Portuguese word "Saudade". There is no English translation of saudade, very roughly, a deep, aching longing or yearning for someone or something in the past that you hope returns but in the very back of your mind you know it's unlikely or impossible.
Chris that was beautiful just reading your comment took me back, and while listening to this omg just wake me up when i'm done replaying this 10 times lol♡♡♡♡. Can we all get together and go back there😢😭
The day my mother passed away, I heard this song for the first time. She struggled for so long. But I know that, even though she moved on, this song was the epitome of how she felt about staying with me as long as she could. This song is as beautiful as she was.
Buffy, being 16 in the 90s....the dreams I had. I never appreciated those years, but something has to be said for the tears and the tiredness of life all before it really began. Now I am older, with teenagers of my own. I wish more than anything that they savor every second...being an adult can be so unkind...so harsh. This song is a painful reminder of youth.
Oh my gosh is it ever a painful reminder of youth 😩 how good we had it being a teen in the 90’s and didn’t even realize it and thought we were going to be young forever 😩
I'm a Stones fan, but every once in a while, a cover (like Joe Cocker's version of "A Little Help From My Friends") is just absolutely transcendent - the Sundays nailed this.
agreed 💯, Brian. it's extremely rare when someone can hold a candle to The Stones, but this version does. i grew up with 70's and 80's music, and personally speaking, i didn't care for the majority of 90's music too much, but this is gorgeous and ethereal. really captivating...
You nailed it. Exactly. Imagine thinking that you could take a Beatles or Rolling Stones classic and actually make it better. Joe C. and Harriett both said, "Hold my beer".
The 90’s was just simply amazing! I was in my 20’s and experienced the rollercoaster of music, love, heartache, dance, freedom, travel and exquisite joy! The BEST decade to be alive! Such beautiful music with the flood gates of memories!! This song is magical!
Harriet Wheeler's voice sounds angelic to me. I've never heard any voice that affects me like hers does. I'm so thankful for discovering The Sundays. Now my daughters love them. Makes my heart swell with love...😊
Came here after watching Fear. This puts you in the feels, wow. Makes me a little sad, missing the good ole days. But so thankful for them at the same time.
Takes me right to the scene in Fear when they're on the roller coaster and, well...you know. If you don't, go watch it! BEST SONG EVER. PERIOD. "Let's do some living after we die"
Lmao me too. Saw it as a child. My sister and I used to put it on blast and rewind that part over and over again just to listen to this song. On replay. Good times!!
Lyrics: Childhood living Is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you Graceless lady You know who I am You know I can't let you Slide through my hands Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses Couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer A dull aching pain Now you've decided To show me the same No sweeping exit Or offstage lines Could make me feel bitter Or treat you unkind Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses Couldn't drag me away I know I've dreamed you A sin and a lie I have my freedom But I don't have much time Faith has been broken Tears must be cried Let's do some living After we die Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses We'll ride them some day Wild horses Couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses We'll ride them some day
This is such a beautiful version of the song. Harriet’s voice is heavenly. Wish the Sundays were still active, I’d love to hear this live. I still play this on repeat.
Oh gosh, I'm gonna cry. I've been looking for this song for like 2 years after hearing a snippet at the dentist's office, but I've never been able to find it or anyone who knew it! And now I've just stumbled upon it again and it's so beautiful aahhhhh
You know it is better when you want to hear a song you only caught part of somewhere, some place, and you search and dig and find it! Glad you found it. Rolling Stones has the original I think.
The shazam app has helped me out on so many occasions but it is hard to catch something when it's only a snippet but I highly recommend the app for future songs :) Edit: I just realized this comment was from 8 years ago... Still relevant though.
Childhood living is easy to do The things that you wanted, I bought them for you Graceless lady, you know who I am You know I can't let you slide through my hands ] Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild horses couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain And now you've decided just to show me the same No sweeping exits or offstage lines Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Faith has been broken and tears must be cried Let's do some living after we die Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
Susan Giammarino Better than the original,no doubt. And that is saying something! The original was great. I guarantee that Mick Jagger enjoys this version.
I liked this ever since I saw that movie "Fear" waaay back in the day. It's kinda haunting, sexy & cool. Just a good rendition of Mick Jaggers' version. Thanks for posting.
I had forgotten about this song until the other day when I was channel surfing and put on Buffy lol. Just for nostalgia purposes I watched a bit and the song came on when Buffy and Angel were dancing and it brought me to the 90s instantly. What a time, what a decade and what memories.
This is breathtaking. This crosses the line into Art. David Gavurin's guitar work is excellent, but it is the combination of Harriet Wheeler's sublime voice and her uncanny ability to interpret a song (this is not the only example) from the pensive understated beginning through to the intensity of feeling present in the chorus and end that makes this gem a masterpiece.
I have no idea why this is my favorite version of this song but I’m really glad that it exists. It’s perfect and it stuns me every time to this day. Thanks ‘The Sundays’!
I see the two songs Wild Horses and Fade Into You matched/compared in a lot of comments and it's fair. To me, Wild Horses sounds like the beginning of something beautiful: it has hope and the promise of greatness and potential in love. Being with that someone now and in the next life even ("Let's do some living after we die"). It's about something real but intangible, that can't be broken. Fade Into You feels like the end of something that could've been beautiful but was torn apart; not an unrequited love, but of a deep and mutual love that could never be. Even in that ending we've accepted, the passion was never lost, just reflected on ("I think it's strange you never knew.") It's about two people who *need* to be, but never will be. They're both masterpieces and that's my perspective on it. Sorry for talking so much lol
@@8GrannyGoose8thanks! I’m glad my commentary has resonated with people 2 years in… I remember laying in bed writing it at 1 or 2 In the morning, tired but in my feelings and just binging various classic songs like this one on YT and this one really spoke to me at the moment. :)
The last night I sat with my granny while she was dying this song played I remember balling my eyes praying to god to help her I’ll forever remember this song
I remember watching the movie Fear...and this song came on...instantly took me away....searched for this song for months....ex that I was watching it with surprised me the the Sundays Cd...Angelica wherever you are ...thank you..❤
I Love you so much Maghan. With all my heart and soul. Just as before, now, forever and always you will always hold the keys to my heart. Whether you value or cherish it, it’s always been yours. ❤️
