Crime & the City Solution -- Six Bells Chime

[@stephenratter9810]

Rowland S. Howard will always be one of the coolest guitarists to me, weaving his stunning, shimmering tones from another world. Irreplaceable and unmistakable. While he is still sorely missed, we are lucky to enjoy his music for the rest of our lives!

[@puppeteerdotbandcampdotcom]

Amen to that, Stephen! Not only his Birthday Party work, or the work on this and other songs from the first Crime and the City Solution album, but I HIGHLY recommend everyone listens to Rowland's writing and playing on the two These Immortal Souls albums, in my personal view his finest work, and two of the most glorious rock albums human ears will ever hear!

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

Rowland S. Howard, the true genius behind so many acts. The guy is an unknown legend.

[@edmundkockenlocker4672]

Hear hear! 👍

[@RobinParmar]

Wenders is the most sensitive film-maker when it comes to shooting music, as all his films attest. This is simply beautiful with no compromise.

[@cubanheelsbeerbelly]

Thanks for the new word "attest". This one fucks.

[@jaipur1401]

Le plus grand film de tous les temps, avec Crime & the city solution dans un morceau d'anthologie. Extraordinaire !!

[@shannonbhoy]

I just love the guitar in this song sooo muckin fuch. Love you, Rowland. RIP

[@vicinvesta8349]

One of the most beautiful movies ever made!

[@happyjessus]

i'm so glad there are some directors with a great taste in music.. because of the films i've known so many great bands!

[@sunrara7133]

From the Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire. Two masterpieces in one.

[@davidbanks4168]

Always good to see Mick Harvey

[@azynkron]

God this is good.. Beautiful movie and beautiful music..

[@head_in_the_clouds]

I love that particular scene so much❤️ for so many reasons

[@HugoMartinez-zl8ic]

I see eye to eye with you

[@ZombieDragQueen]

One of my favourite films. Saw it the first time on the silver screen some 11 years ago and already loving The Birthday Party and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds I hunted down afterwards the Crime + The City Solution's records as well. You can never go wrong with the Howard brothers, Mick Harvey and Simon Bonney.

[@plainsong1336]

Such a crazy lineup in the version of the band. Harry and Rowland Howard, Epic Sountracks, Mick Harvey and Simon Bonney

[@PainIsland]

Happy Birthday sweet guy. RIP Roland S. Howard. One of the best to ever do it.

[@MyTigers77]

That guitar sound reminds me of Hank Marvin and Dick Dale. Lovely reverb, jangle and twang. Beautiful!!!

[@cskueny]

On of my favorite films, and the one from which I discovered both Nick Cave and Crime, years ago. I saw Crime in the City last night in San Francisco, and Bonney looks startlingly unchanged!

[@resiliencetips8900]

It resembles so much Joy Division. Saw yesterday the Wings of Desire, beautiful. Great time, that, such a gravitas, so dark, raw and cool

[@whsonic]

one of the most underrated bands ever

[@miguelferreira4004]

Love this song, the two Wim Wenders masterpieces, but the scene that I love the most is that of the farewell ,before the circus closes shop for the season. That´s all.

[@ligeiaverlaine1069]

one of the best tunes ever; from a great film...

[@klabatron]

amazing scene fascinating song.

[@repenter]

the music was a huge part of the atmosphere of this movie. crime and the bad seeds were staples of the darker side of berlin at the time. it really makes me connect to the film.

Recently rewatched ‘Wings of Desire.’ This led me to discover that Crime and the City Solution is touring again. Excitedly, I’ve secured a ticket for their Poznan PL gig - a first-time live experience after years

Something like "He can see heaven" or "His eyes are in heaven just now." Sorry, I can not translate it correctly. The meaning is ambiguous. He is admirable.

[@ythom4201]

公開当時映画館に2回観に行き、かつてアナログのサントラ盤持っていました いわゆるゴシックロック的なものはベルベッツの亜流と思ってそこまで聴いていなかったのですが.....今、生きている時間の中で最大の悲しみの中にいます...何故かこの曲を無性に聴きたくなりました　何故だかは今は分かりませんが....... ベルベッツというよりドアーズがゴシックロックの源流なのでしょうね

[@arslet69]

masterpiece!

[@linuxaos]

I was down below Houston, on Rivington, and I heard someone say: Michelin, Michelin. And I thought, Well, this night wasn't gonna be so bad after all. Later I listened to Nick Cave with some friends.

[@_coykoi]

RIP Rowland!

I so wish I was a German living in Berlin back in those times…

[@TheKnifeWon]

Something I just realized looking at the actual movie: The woman sitting against the pillar by Marion is Bronwyn, right? You see her a little bit at 0:13 and more at 1:24-1:32 or so.I don't know why I feel like pointing that out. I just feel like I won a game of Where's Waldo? with musicians instead of striped shirt wearing nerds.

[@nickgounaris]

favorite.

[@RBHKBH]

From the movie "Der Himmel über Berlin" ("Wings of desire"), by Wim Wenders

[@RobinParmar]

I like zinc and steel PLUS I like Crime & the City Solution. More, not less. Love not hate.

[@zerodok]

To hell with Cave, hail Rowland.

[@mayamoon722]

Always found Simon's vocals in these years to be rather sloppy but still tolerable.. Rowland and Harry really make this scene with that guitar and bass.. Rowland is incredible and stunning to watch here. Immortalized on film.

[@TimeTraveller010]

Sloppy, tolerable...

LYRICS: This is where it starded The trucks, the trees and her six bells Now babys going to loock back home I'm wearing my clean clothes Yeah I still got the ones you gave me You've been treading some unsafe ground And baby looks tired tonight Out amongs the pikes and narrow streets You go around I hear the six bells they're ringing Yeah the six bells they chime LeoStayTrill 'Pink Lemonade (Str8 Reload)' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified Lay down your head now You will sleep sound I will hold onto you Through lifes time You're seventeen You're are seventeen at this time I wear your silver rings With your hand on my heart Left your there with your grey eyes Pack up their suitcase and leave Raise my hand up to the sky Now don't you touch me Don't you cry An age ago you would'nt touched e On the last day We will always be fighting A promise A year of luxury Perfect Perfect kiss How long my long lost Will the last day be I'm innocent of you there And you of me And you will sleep sound I will hold onto you In lifes time You're are seventeen You're are seventeen at this time I met you when you were a young girl Years and years six bells back Six bells passed above the two On a pier in another time Well I drew your body close to mine You held your head up high then You reached inside then I would give you everything At this time My pretty one My fearless one From this time My fearless-one My young pretty one The six bells - I made them ring Lay down your head now You will sleep sound I will hold onton you Until deaths time You're seventeen at this time You're seventeen at this time

Great fucking movie this is and a great song!

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

Just thought I'd drop this comment in. Lots of people said that Simon Bonney copied Nick Cave, from his moves to the singing style. Steve Miller of the Moodists and I were drinking beer and chatting about life, the universe and everything and he was talking about Simon Bonney coming over to the UK to do Crime & the City Solution with Rowland and that Nick Cave copied almost everything from Simon Bonney and they thought it might be tricky in England because people would think that Bonney had copied Cave, But it was completely opposite, Cave copied Bonney. Its just that Cave got to the UK first. .. Ok I've finished now.

[@obaolori]

+Ant H my simple thought is why not enjoy both of them i think both cave and bonney has excellent voices im not saying youre wrongbut both of them have proved themdelves talented and made great contribution to music The only singer that sometimes resemble them is Hugo Race

[@Anton-du-Fleur]

My comment was pointing out that Bonney didn't copy cave. I wasn't bitching cave.

[@obaolori]
