Saint Etienne Only Love Can Break Your Heart (live 2000)

Live in Chicago, September 2000. Saint Etienne had assembled an excellent band to promote the Sound of Water album.

Never have a seen a more 2000 video. The fashion (required boot cut trousers and sexy top). The blue and pink lighting. The house of blues. Lol I love it!

[@brooke4627]

Such a wonderful performance. Sarah - only you can break my heart, you are surely the Lady Guinevere of rock. Vive St Etienne, Vive Cracknell.

[@mynameispolo5339]

I love the voice of Sarah Cracknell. I love this live !!!

[@dafunkester]

I like both versions, Sarah brings something new to her version.

[@beejaybhatt]

I love this song and this live version is just fab!

[@paulbell4439]

Purely belter

[@JohnLnyc]

The song was written and performed ("After the Goldrush" album) by Neil Young. St Etienne has offered different arrangements in their live performances. This performance differs from the recorded version by St Etienne. Much of the debate/discussion here is rather silly IMOP.

Silly is correct - internet

[@stannats2637]

Think it’s the Richard X remix version

[@lesray5863]

She still nails it.

[@David-j9h9g]

whatever happened to the beautiful french girl with the pixie haircut????

[@WillieWagglestick]

Great version, but Moira Lambert's vocals for me are still the best.

[@ricric9521]

Sarah's voice is much nicer with depth and skill, but you can't beat the original. Moira had a young vibrant sound to her voice though very simple delivery

[@jeffduyndam1392]

Epic!

[@anthonyhitches6530]

I've just seen this lovely wonderful she's a dream xxx

[@lifelongred7056]

It reminds me of ghost town by the specials to start with.

[@easytigeruk123456789]

what happened, this sounds shite

[@noahtorres7761]

From Miami , you sound grate and you look amazing 😻.

[@andrewpreston4127]

Who's playing the melodica... ?

[@planetmusicsamos]

Absolute 90's Balearic Anthem !!!

[@astrogalaxysun]

class

[@elybugnerrichard7745]

Perfect

[@northcountrybhoy]

This is really good BUT not even close to their original.

[@justicetruthvegan83]

Lovely, thank you very much !

[@premiumblue1637]

Cool they kept performing and i like her alot yet i love the original singers version the very best

[@Projeckt]

Sorry but this is Moira Lambert's song. Without her it lacks the right emotion.

[@lukerogers6133]

Dude, it’s a Neil Young song

[@Projeckt]

@@lukerogers6133 Then why did he fail to sing it better!

[@stoniemcfc]

Great but moira lambert nailed it back in the day

[@53n71d0s]

ok, nobody gives a fuck

[@stoniemcfc]

@@53n71d0s nobody asked you too

[@pipolepaw]

sorry, love the album version, but this is crap

[@ericjhendo]

First foray into dance Trance music on channel four when I was about 13 they did a mini documentary about Ibiza which is like 1993 the following year I went to Ibiza good tune

[@nathansugden9332]

Only the original with Moira Lambert nails it for me,sorry.

[@mynameispolo5339]

Sarah is better.

[@stoniemcfc]

@@mynameispolo5339 you can't be serious

[@davepalese5170]

@@stoniemcfc Let's be real. It wasn't Moira's vocal prowess (or lack there of) that made that song a hit. Anyone could have sang it and the results would've been the same. Nothing against Moira but she ain't Cilla Black. I'm sure the vocals were done in one take. I love the song, but the vocals were not the main attraction.

[@NOWtheband]

Don't be sorry. :-)

[@Max-hi7iv]

@@davepalese5170 I think the exact opposite. I felt Moira‘s vocals were on point + I really feel her emotions while she‘s singing. Even the lyrics fit her style of singing: kind of bored but still high and low pitch and on beat every line.

[@stussyhuff]

erm.. studio edit superb .. live awful.. bring back neil young for live rendition..

[@philipsiggers5342]

Not a good band/artist live to be quite honest.

[@666-m6p3w]

que música gostosa de ouvir, tomando um chocolate quente no inverno.

[@MizMite2002]

the original singer of the song has more emotion. this just bores me.

[@andy6576]

This _is_ the original singer (Sarah Cracknell), apart from that, you did very well...**cough**

[@CrimisonMoon]

Jamie Williamson original singer was Moira Lambert

[@andy6576]

Well...no, not really. The band were originally going to use numerous singers and Lambert was one of them, but after hearing Sarah Cracknell, they made her the permanent singer, which she has been since 1991.

[@andy6576]

Any more points you'd like to "clear up" that have in fact _already been cleared up_ ? I'm dying to hear who won World War II.

[@andy6576]

Mmm...it seems a rather witless silly cow started an argument then (wisely) decided to back away, leaving my comment above somewhat Non-sequitous. I _hate_ it when that happens.

[@funkydiscoprince]

bad voice .
