The Afghan Whigs featuring Marcy Mays - My Curse live 09/22/12 ATP Festival, NYC

[@Nevernowaynope]

Musical nail to the freakin heart. Also, GENTLEMEN is one of the great album covers of it's time.

[@james_k70]

There's a version of it with Grumpy Cat and Lil Bub, and it cracks me up every time I see it :D

[@Nevernowaynope]

@james_k70 Lil Bub? Holy... Oh, how I loved her 💔 Thanks for the heads up 😺

[@Nevernowaynope]

@james_k70 Thanks, man. That's going to be my new fridge magnet 👍🏼

[@cdelrioc]

There have been moments in my life in which I could not even listen to this song, it was too much for me. Heartbraking as always.

[@SIMDICK]

Carlos Mario del Río Chamorro 2 tru brother

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

I hope your scars have healed up, brother. All in a dose of time.

[@markhaban5642]

Regrettably, that is when I force myself to listen to it.

[@Brewnoe]

Above and below ... this is a ring that always makes me feel the other way

[@jeremiahheikkila7604]

Still happens to me off and on

[@lawrenceleong8747]

Still incredible after all these years. Greg is a genius for writing this song and Marcy took it to a whole new level. What a song!

[@ronbarry8542]

1000%

[@marioncobretti5970]

hands down, best song by The Afghan Whigs.

[@joashha]

Totally agree buddy

[@3ld919]

The fact that as good as this song is with Dulli on vocals, he was able to set his ego aside & recognize it would be even better with Mays on vocals makes the claim Dulli is a genius undeniable.

[@marciak75]

So so so so so so so special to have seen this. Front row baby. Crying my eyes out.

[@Paganscot]

Glorious & fucking stunning. This shit puts modern music to shame. The Whigs always will be a level above .

[@richieroma]

I met Dulli once at an after-show party in Dublin during the late 90s. I drunkenly confessed how much this song meant to me when I was in my late teens. "I want that song played at my funeral" I enthusiastically proclaimed, before he nervously excused himself by saying he had to go to the bar....

[@Coolmite25]

I saw her come out on stage at a Whigs show in Columbus in 1994. She is absolutely spellbinding. This is a perfect song. From a perfect album. Congrats to Greg and crew for keeping this tradition alive.

[@davidtaylor6663]

sometimes a song just hits you. This one has since it came out in 1993 on Gentlemen. She is is a dream. Marcy we love you

[@MudtownRecords]

Still heartbreaking. Still relevant. Speaks with words we've all tried to express. Thanks again & again!

[@xtinternx]

Anyone watching this... go online and buy the final album "Nature Film" from Marcy's band Scrawl. They put out a lot of fantastic stuff but that album is really the one to have. It's a must have in a "holy shit I slept on this?!?" way.

[@CatBlood0001]

If you guys ever come to Tokyo I am ready to sing this. I know it inside out.

[@slynngray]

Goosebumps every time

[@ghostly606]

Couldn't agree more, been my favourite ever song since I first heard it in the early nineties. First time I've heard a live version and they don't disappoint.

[@Pharmakon7]

ghostly606 I saw them do this in 98 on the 1965 tour. Marcy's version is full of hurt and remorse. The backup singer who did it in 98 sang it much more soulfully and seductively. Amazing how a singer's approach can change the meaning of the song! I see them next Thursday and hope they play it again :)

[@moonmonkey999]

ghostly606 You should check out the live Reading festival version, heart wrenching. In a good way!...

[@slynngray]

nice! thanks

[@markbuchan210]

George Armour I was at the Reading Festival that year and that performance was easily the best performance of the weekend.

[@mscoles72]

I love live music...The whigs never disappoint. Marcy is a sorceress on this live track.

[@kiely]

this always makes me cry

[@abeach5420]

*Marcy sings once again with Mr. Dulli & the gents* . . . new song on album HOW DO YOU BURN - The Afghan Whigs ( Domino and Jimmy ) Sept 2022

[@davidtaylor6663]

Scrawl is so good as well

[@jacekdyminski982]

Guys, Afghans and Greg changed my life forever:) whenever they play in London I am always there...

[@kiely]

aw ... i still cry everytime

[@alexrose9487]

marcy fucking nailing it.

[@ThePeteybee]

a fantastic mix of sinister and pain served up like only the Whigs can. The grossest display of underrated that music has to offer, the Afghan Whigs not only titillate lyrically, but their melodies are astounding. I have to listen to most song twice just to filter the depth. shame on the music industry for not making this band a household name.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

Damn boy, you write for a rock music magazine??

[@kastenchase3985]

@@conjured_up_skeletons6178 A household name? haha

[@hazercollins4656]

And then again with Ani Defanco with twilight singers... that was pure joy

[@JohnK-ph3vw]

The fact that they’re NOT a “household name” is likely the reason they’re still around almost 40 years later…and STILL killin it.

[@ProfessorYumYum]

Well... that was freaking epic.

[@theuptaker]

yup...best song ever

[@GreigMcGill]

God DAMN. Take my soul. Flay it until it bleeds. And I'll beg for more.

[@planomathandscience]

Even out of its shocking place in the album, a masterpiece of emotion. Thanks to all, especially MM.

[@kniverhell]

Wow at 4minutes. She just crushed it.

[@rentonrealestate]

She kills it

[@drluch1522]

The most underappreciated part of this video is the fact that Dulli's strap is a seat belt from a General Motors car.

[@z3ph3us6]

I caught him at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit in 2011… I saw him in Chicago numerous times.

[@coryschwartz738]

The greatest moment of one of the greatest days of music I've ever enjoyed. Going on 10 years later and I still can't believe my good fortune at having experienced this in person

[@markhaban5642]

She was there at the Vic Theater in Chicago on 4/12/18. It was magic. Let history be recorded, magic.

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

I believe you. Ladies n gentlemen... Ms. Marcy Mays.

[@evareid574]

I was there for that and I still pinch myself.

[@Clairvoyant666]

Lyrics: You hurt me baby I flinch so when you do Your kisses scourge me Hyssop in your perfume Oh, I do not fear you And "slave" I only use As a word to describe The special way I feel for you You look like me And I look like no one else We need no other As long as we have ourselves But I won't cry about it Every time you get obsessed Every time I came undressed All ugly thoughts are gone I'm sure we'll all be friends I'll try to break your back You'll try to make amends Curse softly to me baby And smother me in your love Temptation comes not from hell but from above And there's blood on my teeth When I bite my tongue to speak Zip me down, kiss me there I can smile now You won't find out ever Hurt me baby I flinch so when you do Your kisses scourge me Hyssop in your perfume Oh I do not fear you And "slave" I only use as a word to describe The way I feel when I'm with you If I have to lie about it every time I came undressed

[@leonidaskotrozinis1154]

Amazing..... best band ever

[@davidtaylor6663]

she and Greg changed my life. she is perfect

[@jylmama]

I have full body chills. God damn. Fuck. Every single time.

[@Tigergirljones420]

Brings me to tears everytime.

[@stoneage1971]

Still brilliant after all these years

[@Deguello23]

Absolutely killed it. Fantastic.

[@soflvideo]

Great song all these years later.

[@pathduck]

Just as epic a performance as the '94 at Reading one. Lucky people who were there to see this mighty reunion!

[@leonidaskotrozinis1154]

All times favorite

[@Demonpikelet]

I have got chills..... wow

[@ChrisBrowne]

The Whigs's diamond in the rough. This song is definitely one of my top three favs from the AWs

[@musicartguy1]

Freaking chills

[@rx0623]

I love this song since 2006 when I was a kid digging bands I found on internet. Greg and this girl have an unique voice style, look how their interaction is subtle and deep, they form a very cool couple. Never knew about how she looked untill this video, she's amazingly hot!

[@Snugdajoina]

he had her sing it because he couldn't. I love Greg. Her band Scrawl is great too.

[@tammyanelson]

"I'm scared," she says. "It's okay," he answers. So cute!

[@steveroden2218]

Oh heavens - how amazing

[@odomodometer]

The best!

[@BurningtunaDC]

Such an amazing performance of an amazing song.

[@lindsey9200]

Sou completamente apaixonada pelo Greg Dulli

[@drivel2]

This is absolutely fantastic.

[@bobbyrawson]

An amazing song and so well performed.

[@gabyefoeagbokou7191]
