Throwing Muses - Not Too Soon (Official Video) 

That is just one of the best damned pop songs of all time. Never gets old. Blows me away every time I hear it.

1991, when the world still felt so big. I remember having to seek out music, magazines, movies, and the hunt made it special. Now with everything at our fingertips, it's what I wished for but not what I expected. Good old Monkey paws...

This one song has more hooks than a fishing tackle shop!

What an amazing talent Tanya is. I'm so glad that I got to see her live a couple of times. I only knew her from Belly at the time because I was a kid - but she is such an important figure in alternative rock history and I don't think that her or Kristen are anywhere near as celebrated as they deserve to be.

I like how the chorus is literally just her singing along with the guitar part.

I hadn't heard this song for about 30 years until a couple of days ago - now it won't leave my head. What an earworm!

Real Ramona is such a kick-arse album. You're half way through it and they unleash "Hook In Her Head" & "Not Too Soon" & "Honeychain" and you're like, is it legal to experience this?

‘The Real Ramona’ is such a great record and personally, it’s one of the defining albums of the early 90’s... but anything Throwing Muses have ever released is just sensational. A ridiculously under appreciated band ... check out their latest album ‘Sun Racket’.. xx

the way she sings that riff is so original

The nineties had some BOSS female vocalists!

I just love the guitar tones in this song. And those drums... do they sound HUGE!

Fuck....nearly 30 years and I love this every bit as much as when it came out. Smart songwriting at work here...it's one hook after another. Genius.

This is one song I wish I could hear for the first time again...I remember how awesome the changes in this song sounded the first time I heard it back in the 90s...now I'm 41 and still I'm impressed when I listen to this ..I swear at least 100 of these views are from me.

Great song, sung by a complete doll!

The drummer is a BEAST. absolutely killer.

Why did I never know about this song until now? I've currently got this song practically on endless repeat to make up for the 25 years I should've been listening to it!

Still totally in love with this tune - a big thank you to Tanya for still making my old bones shiver :)

Two absoultly amazing musicians. Kristen is much darker in her writing and Tanya is a master of the pop song. Both equally tallented and I will forever be playing their music and getting back to my youth! Oh yes lest I forget David Narcizzo is a master of those drums!

Tanya Donelly is a genius. One of my favorite songwriters ever

Throwing Muses in GENERAL is underrated. One of my favorite indie bands.

Stuck at home in quarantine, I really miss the 90s.

One of the most underrated albums in music history. Each song was a treasure trove.

A criminally underrated song and band.

Solid proof that 90s indie was the best! I have listened to this song a thousand times and it never gets old. Absolute perfection.

I just can't stop playing this!!!!!

I've been listening to this song at least once a week for the last 3 months.

I was 26 when this first came out...it still seems just like yesterday when it first graced my hearing and my life...one of my personal, all-time favorite songs...

What an amazing voice control!

Omg.... Tanya before Belly, I can't deny it, I was totally in love, and yes it has hooks! And they sank deep.

I could listen to her sing ALL DAY.

Wow she's a real rock star God bless you young lady 🙏

I was 17 when this came out. Still absolutely love it after hearing it literally well over a thousand times. What a time for music that was.

"The Real Ramona," such a great album. Still works today!

She colorblind tired eyes Her hallway aching She'll never move him, likes it that way He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away It's not too soon, he said, you know it's not too soon at all And you might as well be dead, he said If you're afraid to fall, I said, I know her She said, oh, my, why do you stare so hard? Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms Make these old bones shiver It's not too soon, he said, you know it's not too soon at all And you might as well be dead, he said If you're afraid to fall, I said, I know her The last time I saw you, you were standing in the dark And with a freezing face, I watched you fall apart It's not too soon, he said, it's not too soon at all And you might as well be dead, he said If you're afraid to fall, I said Done your time, been in your place I couldn't look you in the face and tell you that it turns me on it makes my stomach turn I know, I know her

Man this is such a vibe! I love 90's bands with female singers, there is a raw female energy that is so dope.

This song gets better every time you hear it, it’s not obvious at first but then it clicks and the melody gets you.

I can play this song on repeat over and over and over and over, never tired of it, one of the most perfect indie guitar pop songs ever. And well,watching the clip with Tanya just makes it better ;)

The drummer is kicking ass i love this song i first heard it in a skate video circa its time dennis durrants video part song whoever did the edit on it nailed it

It actually doesn't get any better than this.

That part where she makes weird noises with her mouth is so damn catchy!

when she said " i *KNOW* " I felt that ✊😔

one of the greatest songs of the 90's.

Probably said it many times before. SO AMAZING after all these years!!!!!!! 😀😀😃😁😁

Real Ramona... best indie album ever

Been in love with Tanya since ‘93 ❤

One of the most under-rated bands in the last few decades. REAL music. Not manufactured, major label, color-by-numbers, T & A craptastic hits.

I remember seeing them on this tour. They were amazing. Makes me feel very old

Best Indie singer/songwriter ever.... ❤️ If there was ever a track that was pure perfection...this is it. Which is not surprising since she worked on it for over eight years.

Just one of the greatest songs ever, IMHO

I can't turn the volume up enough for this song!

Muses most underrated band ever

I never forget this in a time they played amazing songs on the radio! That will never happen again.

Growing up I’m New England, I got to see them a lot. So great live! They don’t get the credit the deserve. Their signing to 4AD open the floodgates of New England indie bands like The Pixies and Miracle Legion that led to exposure in England that influenced a lot of bands over there. This video is so 1991. I love it!

Just a perfect, PERFECT pop song.

never get tired of this song!

I love how dreamy this song sounds, with a beautiful video to match.

This song has made me happy every time I hear it for almost 30 years

I just found this song in 2020 and it's my favorite discovery so far!

how was this not a huge anthem?

Love it! Time travel!

Heard this song for first time in 1997. It's one of the greatest songs of all time. Didn't know there was a video till today. I like it better in my mind. No visuals can match its audial dynamics.

This is the best indi song of th 90ies, I guess. Tanya Donelly is such a beauty and the song has so much energy. I still love to hear it. When I'm honest, I think I still love her voice, her look and everything. That song is real Indirock at its best.

I saw Throwing Muses play at the Town & Country in 1988. I remember before the gig Tanya came and spoke to some people in the waiting crowd. I was struck by this petite beautiful young women.

I probably listened to this song 20 times a day for 3 months after hearing it the first time. Then watched the video 20 times a day after that. I want to time travel back to '91 and marry Tanya, is that too much to ask?

Great band. Great song. Great location. Great shooting = Great video

Tanya Donelly's finest three mins of alt pop genius. Timeless

Brings me to tears.... AWESOME

That's what alternative music is all about. Not for everyone but for us. This is such a great song. And Tanya Donelly looks and sings like an alternative music goddess. Really awesome. This song is nearly 30 years old and still get's me. Throwing Muses, I love you and especially Tanya. Can't get enough of you. This is not and NEVER Pop. I'm sorry :-)

Amazing vocal performance!

The drummer with traditional grip!!

I love this song and video so much I can't put it into words. Tanya Donnely and Kristin Hersch x Indie rock chicks will always rule

The way she plays that guitar in the beginning. I could watch that all day.

That chorus is cold 🥶

AWESOME!!!

I've known this song for almost 30 years and I still love it so much 😎🖤🖤🖤

Love the drumming here

Kristen's presence in this video is so haunting and understated

Awesome.... Great art is timeless and transcending at the same time.

I could listen to this all day...

The song "Not Too Soon" is from the album"The Real Ramona"! Andrzej Lukowski is right! "With The Real Ramona, Throwing Muses wrote an album of great pop songs, but when they did so they no way surrendered their intrinsic otherness - two decades of indie-pop later, it still sounds arresting."

Just a kick ass album what a killer combination of Hersh and Tanya’s talent. You can tell they really influenced each other on this album. Such an underrated band . God bless the 90s!

I cannot stop playing this song! First the lyrics are great and her voice is really sweet but gnarly too. It starts off punky , but pop, then goes into this 60's girl group sound. Like Shadow Morten and the Shangrilas, then Christians guitar is soo surf music like the Ventures, then the second verse with bridge is 60's again then it is a Rap at the end. You have punk, pop,girl group 60's, and Rap in one song. It shows how brilliant they were. If you don't understand the lyrics google them they are really cool.

That drummer really tied the track together.

Incredible tune, incredible band. Made me buy my first electric bass guitar :)

GREAT Indie song! I can jam all day to this.

Such a cleverly done video .

So good to hear this after so long. Alternative pop /rock before it became fashionable. I'm 47 years now but I remember Steve Lamaq on radio 1 playing the Muses, Breeder, the 360's alongside the Pixies and Sonic Youth on his Evening Session programme. Memories. xx

How does this not have a million views?

Can't believe I've never heard of this band until now. Really catchy stuff.

Brilliant band with the two ladies, from a ground-breaking and simply awesome album. Great band now and then, Kristin and Tanya are both so talented and cool.

Used to listen them in college. House Tornado is a great CD.

Make these old bones shiver

MY FAV FAV FAV - best song she and her sister ever wrote!!!

This song made me determined to learn how to play guitar. I watched the video over and over again, and luckily found the finger placements on the fret boards. The chords E, B, A, and the lead were so fun to play. I could see Kristin didn't move her hand much on the fret board to play the lead. I transcribed it and played it for my guitar teacher. He was so impressed. Now, around 18 years later, I picked up my guitar (Gibson Les Paul style, in sunburst like Tanya's) recently, and instantly started playing this. It is seriously the most fun song to play on the guitar, ever! I had my guitar signed by Tanya, too, when she visited Australia, touring in Belly. Thanks, Tanya for being such an amazing songwriter and an inspiration for so many of us Gen Xers as teenagers! :D

This is my favourite song of all time

Just now getting into this band. They're brilliant.

What a great drums sound!

Going down the rabbit hole of listening to grunge and this is the first time I hear this band. How were they not more popular? This is great!

For such a moving, bombastic song. This is a very static video.

Oh what a treat!!! Haven't heard this in a long time. Goosebumps.....
