Ash - Girl From Mars (US version) (Official Video)

[@luisfernandorodrigues609]

That's a fun song. And it was a fun shooting as well, I played the little girl's father. It was shot at Sony Studios in NYC.

[@appleshampew]

+Fernando Rodrigues Nice! I remember seeing this video at like 2AM on MTV when I was really young. I only saw it once but never forgot about it. I eventually downloaded it on Napster and the rest is history!

[@gurudasbiswas3950]

G ash kola I dal £

[@lizzigilmore5813]

I love this video...

[@TrafficsKindaBad]

Yeah, and I wrote this song and played guitar

[@neildrew3027]

you ugly

[@fernando200270]

This is really great, not to mention that I'm on the video as well - as the little girl's father :-) We shot this in 96, at Sony studios on NYC. Years later, the director Jesse Peretz did the "Learning to Fly" video from the Foo Fighters, really good as well. Lots of fun, good memories from it. Jesse, if you're reading this, you're "The man". Thanks for this. Cheers Fernando

Where is jesse?

[@bikerd8497]

Amazing , you are part of history, literally forever.

[@jdlaw001]

He he he I remember that I taped this song from the radio and would stop rewind play it over and over again. Reminds me of great times in the late 90's.

[@Robert-d3i7w]

Ash was one of the best 90's bands. Great time period for music.

[@ashleyrenae4782]

[@MatzemachtMucke]

I first saw this music video on MTV Germany. I bought "1977" and it turned out to be in the top 20 albums of my youth.

[@GiulianoIannotta]

I've been listening to this song since 1996 and this is the first time I see this version of the video! 😮

[@indonesianinlaos913]

ditto

[@gal12345ish]

I don't know why. But I resonate with this so deeply.

[@jeffriargon1822]

smoking henri wintermans cigar.. take back my memory to 90s.. the best decade of music..

[@LylaRox]

I have played this song literally thousands of times! And it's still one of my most played tunes on my Ipod! Love the video!

[@esangtube]

This is me, my song for life. I will always love you girl from mars

[@kestrel4294]

One of my favorite songs!

[@alvinpatacsil]

"1977" Packs punch. There's a lot of good music on that album that was never released as a single. But this one is the best from that album. On 19th Sept. it will be 35th bday. :) "1977"

[@nadpip83]

OMG i remember this song, and i remember being obsessed with brad renfro and loving the video because the lead singer looked like brad, LOL.

[@TheOkoon]

Wow memories.. . . This was my jam way back in . . . . . 2011 i think . .. One of the songs that helped me get over major surgery . . .

[@MrMobiusMe]

Reminds me of summers on the beach. :) Good times!

[@vitorourique5728]

Yes! :-)

[@mirkorusse6953]

2012 kicks in, i was today with my marsgirl out. GREAT SONG, STILL. :3

[@marcelovidal9246]

Perfect song

[@jorasar]

Simply their Best Song.

[@Jessability]

This reminds me of some half hour program I saw a long time ago. Something like the Twilight Zone or Tales From the Dark Side. This little girl talks her self centered and indifferent parents into taking her to a museum where you view people, couples mostly, through glass windows. They could talk to them by pressing a button. In the end it turns out that the girl could choose any couple to be her new parents and her real ones go into the museum to be viewed by other children. Ash is AWSOME!!!!!!

[@futuresmiles5797]

To me it looks like the windows are visions of the future and everybody is upset that she saw the musicians and wanted to be part of that lifestyle.

[@heysemhasym7812]

Memory my band Ash

[@grantbailey6748]

Im sending this to my girlfriend mars here on earth sat 10 fab 2024 - xxx 💗 some things and greatest things like ash will remain forever

Ash ha sido una banda destacable de rock, durante las últimas décadas, muy reconocida pero que no logró el éxito mediático. A pesar de todo siguen al pie del cañón y acaban de cumplir 25 años de carrera, desde que debutaron en 1994 con "Jack Names The Planets". Para celebrarlo lanzan un recopilatorio "Teenage Wildlife: 25 years of Ash" con sus canciones más conocidas como "Girl From Mars", "Gold Finger" u "Oh Yeah", además de incluir un tema nuevo "Darkest Hour Of The Night" y anuncian una amplia gira por toda Europa que pasará por nuestro país: en la sala Razzmatazz de Barcelona el 31 de marzo, en el Kafe Antzokia de Bilbao el 1 de abril, en la Joy Eslava de Madrid el 2 de abril y en la sala Capitol de Santiago de Compostela el 5 de abril. Las entradas ya están a la venta a un precio medio de 25 euros. "Teenage Wildlife" sigue la carrera discográfica de la banda desde el debut hasta 2018 con "Buzzkill" incluida en su álbum "Island". Su primer álbum lograron editarlo cuando aún estaban en el instituto, con su álbum "1977" en 1996 alcanzaron el número 1 y dos años después publicaron "Nu-Clear Sounds" en el que se incorporó la joven guitarrista Charlotte Hatheley. Tres años después del histórico concierto a favor del referéndum de Irlanda del Norte en Belfast, la banda publicó el aclamado "Free All Angels" con el que volvieron a alcanzar el número 1 y el vocalista Tim Wheeler fue reconocido con el premio Ivor Novello por "Shining Light" consolidando así su reputación de crerador de extraordinarios singles. Ash siempre ha destacado también por directos. "Teenage Wildlife" resume perfectamente estos 25 años de trayectoria y saldrá a la venta el 14 de febrero de 2020 Música independiente novedades.

[@DannyD81]

A little of it all. Including some Pop.

[@nicoladouglas3270]

She was told she'd never be anyone!!!! Red shoes are mind control!!!! Everything compartmentalized!!! The windows!!!! the bits of her memory!!!! Show me the way to go home!!!!

[@LDN13Y]

Does anyone know if Ash were ever interviewed about this song and its meanings ?

[@glorfindel72]

From a recent interview by Dave Simpson of The Guardian Tim said: "I wrote Girl from Mars in my bedroom at my parents’ house when I was 17. I think there was a bit of Mars hanging over us. I was listening to Pixies, who were sci-fi obsessed. My sister is 18 years older than me and was a David Bowie fan in her teens. Our rehearsal room had been her den, and she’d written Life on Mars in huge letters on the wall. I think I also saw a film called Girl from Mars, or something, in a TV listing magazine. It was on at 4am so I never watched it, but I made my own story for the song. I’d broken up with my first girlfriend, which was very intense, first love. I’d always been a happy child but for the first time was experiencing teenage angst, which I poured into the song. Aged 17, I was already nostalgic for those happier times. The previous summer, I’d gone on a family holiday to France. We met a bunch of cool kids and hung out on the beach, smoking cigars, which is where the line about “Henri Winterman cigars” comes from...we signed to Infectious Records, they put us in the studio to record a mini-album, but specifically instructed us to not record Girl from Mars. They knew it had the potential to be a hit and wanted to hold it back until we’d left school and could promote it properly."

This video is way cooler than the uk version...

[@keithmoon8838]

This video is absolute wank. Loved by pretentious clichéd cunts though. Enjoy.

@u2chicky . His name was Chris.

[@amytriptalene]

@cityofwalls bit protective of ash are we?;)

[@jonathanz5169]

Nice version, but UK version has the Girl from mars in the video. Add to summer vibes...

[@Kirkvanhouten55]

does anybody know the name of the little girl? She looks very familiar

[@riccardomaiello3308]

Kirk Van Houten she looks like a young Jessica Alba, but I don't know that for sure...

[@TheRevivalVideos]

why is there a different version for the us?

[@isateq]

wats the difference between this version and the UK one??

[@Tob1Kadach1]

Tim Wheeler couldn't hold a key to save his life, and yet their songs are so catchy

[@bohsgerry]

punk rock,county down,IRELAND.........!!

[@Hellwyck]

They're a rock band, hardly punk rock. Try THERAPY?

[@infectedvoice7293]

Hellwyck, neither Therapy? or Ash are punk rock.

[@xentech]

@zapiszak you prob could fairly easily if you went to a concert

[@BillieAkman]

Anyone know if there was really a girl he met and inspired this song?

[@ohhbrackett10]

As far as I know he wrote this song about a girl from "Ards" in Northern Ireland and like he didn't want her to know that this song was about her so he changed the lyrics to "girl from Mars" instead. This could be complete bullshit but that's what I heard..

[@BillieAkman]

Thanks. Satisfied my curiosity enough.

[@Dingalingring]

For a millisecond there, I stupidly misread what you wrote as reading "girl from Aids". Harharhar! 😆

Is this video 2010's trying to look 90's or 90's trying to look 70's ?

This is the band Coach Nash took Amy and his daughter to see.

[@yuckmud87]

american version has more mcdonalds ?

[@yuckmud87]

usa version sucks go listne to the uk version (theyre both the same)

[@SpencerDouglass]

This song is awesome, but why is the US Version of the music video so rubbish compared to the UK version?

[@taintedtapper]

The band hated the version they did for UK

[@Dingalingring]

+taintedtapper Have to say that was a bad call on Ash's part. As 'rudimentary' and half-goofy as the UK video version was (presumably in their eyes, I mean), it still captured the energy and spark of the song way better than this dull shit I'm yawning through right now.

[@MidnightandAugust]

+SallyTheSeahorse I agree, this video is rather dull and doesn't capture the 'spirit' of the song.

[@johnroberts8088]

In the US they still have issues with human bodies, the UK version they are topless and painted, SHOCK HORROR!!! Take for example the issues in the US with showing part of Janet Jackson's (covered up breast). In Europe you see breasts on TV all the time, even in commercials for shampoo (here in Germany for example). People, naked? HELP!!!! AHHHH RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thinking is that such shocking visuals will corrupt the youth of the US. For further reading research youth pregnancy rates, drug problem, gun problems in Europe v the US.
