04 - The Pastels - Crawl Babies

[@AL4NGDROE]

Wow anything that's been on KZbin for 18 years and still gets love is amazing. I've loved them since the 80s.

[@davidcowan4942]

Early Pastels gigs to late 80s where packed out. In the 90's until speeding motorcycle cover and then the gigs where brilliant but had lost a lot of their audience although I attended all I could. Seems now that they are starting to get new fans which is braw! I ❤ them.

[@heyvelasquez2197]

I'm 12 and in love with obscure indie bands 80's and 90's

[@buster3903]

This is not an obscure indie band

[@ElkoSkate]

congratulations.

[@willyj51]

Top ten indie song. Heard it about 35 times so far yet its mysteries continue to reveal upon new listenings.

[@BethArzy]

So great... Makes me sad that no one makes music this perfect anymore. Not to mention Stephen Pastel is beautiful!!!

[@radioheadsundays]

I like this version more than the version on the "up for a bit with the pastels"

[@DecodeMoans]

Doesn't get much better than this.

[@buster3903]

Nope

[@martinmiller6571]

The Pastels, so underrated, so wonderfull, and Steven Pastel so handsome

[@benturner6525]

definitely

[@tony2566]

I first saw this video back in FEB 1988 on the USA network. Great song! Thanks for posting it.

[@MrJeepsters]

ça, c'était un super groupe. La meilleure période des labels indies britanniques

[@KevinHeaven9]

what is it with scotland and bands with great pop sensibilities....

[@FadGadget1]

I remember this on the Shelter (music compilation) video. Played it all the time on my VHS player.

[@cuddlebuttons]

*sigh* why'd i have to ever get old? GREAT SONG!

[@absolving]

will never stop loving this great band

[@tony2566]

One of my all time favorite songs!

[@tony2566]

I first heard this song back in 1988. And I still love it.

[@willyj51]

I bow to the beauty of this song.

[@Durriti66]

When I first fell in love with Frances McKee, nothing has changed.

[@360muse]

Best pop song ever.

[@indiegirl111]

wow - now this takes me back! good call paul!

[@whatamalike]

I'm 21 and absolutely love the so-called post smiths indie scene. It's worthy of the name 'indie' for a start not like the current creme of the NME's crap...

[@floryboonda]

Provokatie, thanks-I was in high school when I use to request this by telephone at my friendly neighborhood college radio station-couldn't get enough of that foreign moody stuff in sunny Cali.

[@matthewmck7448]

this is a decent bit faster than the original version I really like it!! idk if its just spend up or what but I prefer it :) amazing song

[@JMo27]

Francis Mckee from the Vaselines at 1:59 And again at 3:07 kissing Eugene Kelly. How cute :)

[@latempesta]

I love this song, I love the Pastels, I love this video. Thanks.

Pastels masterpiece

[@hereswherethestoryends]

god he’s beautiful

[@mazumnoob3510]

She comes walking down the road And I know that dogs won't bark She comes walking up the stairs She's tap-tap-tapping on my door And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must But I go blind and my mouth fills up with dust Says she's open like a book She's got everything I need Even wants to take the time To teach me how to read But the ceiling moves on down towards the floor And soon there's only room enough for us to crawl I wanna build her up Up as tall as a church Just to watch her Just to watch her falling down I can't see her again I just can't see her again I've got to see her again I've got to see her again She comes walking down the road With a kaftan in her hands She comes walking up the stairs She's tap-tap-tapping on my door And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must But I go blind and my bones start to rust I wanna build her up Up as tall as a church Just to watch her Just to watch her falling down I can't see her again I just can't see her again I've got to see her again I've got to see her again

[@celiaayneto9232]

full of wonder !!

[@vicoland]

kOOL sONG!!....I think they were a very very lost band from the 80's indie movement. They sounds like: Galaxie 500 + The jesus and mary chain.

[@needlelnthehay]

what a band

[@elbow565]

@aledsd The girl at 1:59 is Frances McKee from The Vaselines.

[@bobjunket491]

Who cares? They were shite as well...

[@Slowdived80]

I've got to see her again

[@pincmin]

The slow version is on "Up for a bit with The Pastels". If you want this version, it's on "Truckload of Trouble"

[@9graff9]

Yea it kinda does sound like kids in the hall theme song.. in fact that bamds name is called Shadowy men on a shadowy planet... they have a Surf sound to them..

[@blip]

@ watoowatootheband can't believe i rediscover you guys through a comment on a pastels video! i love your music

[@willyj51]

She even wants to take the time to teach me how to eat. Or is it 'read'? Greatest song ever written IMO. Bass guitar!

[@jackshepark7229]

10 years later ........... Read .

[@ealbor]

I wanna build her up Up as tall as a church Just to watch her Just to watch her falling down I can't see her again I just can't see her again I've got to see her again I've got to see her again

[@InfotainmentScan]

I think the winning lyric in this song is pretty clearly "even wants to take the time to teach me how to read."

[@oadiedoadie]

Majestic.

[@itdies2dayyo]

Can anyone tell me what kind of jacket the singer is wearing?

[@evergreen9927]

is this some of the only footage of the vaselines when they were young?

[@cliveclemens4547]

How did I miss/ignore them when they were releasing this

[@89arnburg]

I was watching a live yo la tengo and I saw James from Yo la tengo wearing a Pastels t shirt. and I looked up the Pastels. Fucking GREAT!!!

[@davidcowan4942]

When Pavement played reading festival then 2 band members wore Pastels t-shirts. Stephen Malkmus is on record saying that he is a big fan! I kinda remember a gig in either Edinburgh or Glasgow when Stephen Pastel got on stage to do Speeding Motorcycle! Teenage fanclub cover Yo la tengos instrumental I hear you looking so maybe confused with that instead the night after Yo la tengo played at same small venue in Edinburgh. Getting old

[@odic7660]

Dude.... Did I found a treasure ?

[@Martylovescats]

Doesn't anyone else think that this sounds and looks like the Kids In The Hall opening theme?

[@kierannee528]

in fact you're the perfect age, just remember what bob dylan said "i was so much older then, but im younger than that now". the pastels are one of my favourite bands but theres no need for nostalgia

[@Crlmrtn]

At the end of the song you can see Frances and Eugene kissing each other.. wow both bands amazing. by the ways the vaselines they going to show up at this month to play here in toronto ill be the for sure.

Anyone any idea where the video was filmed? Is it Glasgow? Or is it der Eiserne Steg in Frankfurt am Main?

[@sunshaped]

i know your post is 11 years old now, and you probably have your answer by now, but that is Glasgow. On one of the bridges over the Clyde.
