Still holds the UK Charts record for the longest time at #1 by a girl group = 8 weeks. Even The Spice Girls (and every other girl group since) couldn't break that record in 28 years. An amazing achievement.

[@stephaniewcallow7875]

I am fascinated with Siobhan. She plays Death coming for his soul. Another fun fact, she was in the band Bananarama. She's such a weird, awesome woman.

[@angelabowman1614]

I read that she was married to Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics! They have two sons. And I loved this song when I was in my Late teens early twenties! The high voice (Marcella) compliments (Siobhan) low deep voice! This video is trippy! LoL.....great song and video!

In my mind Siobhan is playing Death... Love her acting at the end, as if to say "Ah, how sweet... Oh well, I'll get you eventually". lol

[@drewrayg]

Yes. The rolling of the eyes at the end is so perfect. I interpret it as Death coming to take him too. So good.

[@ValleyRC]

Apparently she was drunk out of her skull during filming which if true only made it better! I remember having a weird crush on her at the time as a kid. I guess there was a juxtaposition between the scary witch image the fact the was clearly beautiful. This video is probably responsible for my type being "goth" lol

[@every1sangels]

Death walking in gives me chills everytime.

[@lechat8533]

This song is about Life fighting Death, Love conquering illness and not giving up. One of the most beautiful love songs (in my humble opinion). It always gives me goosebumps. Thank you for your respectful and beautiful reactions :)

[@randyhochstein8455]

Consider if you will, that the first woman singing (Marcella) is the man’s lover, but is actually addiction. If the angel of death releases him then addiction wins him back if only temporarily as Siobhan’s eye roll signifies. ✌🏼😎

[@nealm6764]

I always feel it is about the thin line between love and possession.

[@wesleygary6651]

I think it's more like a 50's alien movie. That's what Siobhan said. I could be wrong.

[@Rabbitnl]

This song gives me goosebumps everytime.

[@kateo8829]

One of the most emotionally loaded songs and videos ever I cant watch it without tearing up😪

[@paulstanley2825]

I've always loved that bit towards the end of the video where Siobhan rolls her eyes " Oh I can't be bothered anymore, you can have him, whatever!" The song: Still superb after all these years of course.

[@sburker32]

Someone explained their take as the lover singing being addiction and the angel of death rolled her eyes because she knows she'll get him eventually... Odd but shows every song has it's own meaning to each person

[@ronnieluv]

What a wonderful surprise to see you react to this tonight!! One of my all-time favorites ever!! I always interpreted the story as the second woman coming down the stairs represented the Spirit of Death (as a Temptress!) She's come to claim the male who is unconscious and living between the two worlds. The powerful force of Love from his lover who is caring for him revives him and Death has to go back to the light from whence she came. Now, I will really flip if you do a reaction to The KLF feat. Tammy Wynette on the song "Justified & Ancient" - definitely the single/video version with Tammy and not the album version which does not include her! Thanks for another great reaction and selection!!

This was a very special song to me beeing a teenager! Now 47 yo, I really love how you appreciate this great song from my youth aera. keep rolling man!

I was sat here watching, thinking to myself "wait for it wait for it" you didn't disappoint.

[@Dark0blivion]

I'm 41 and was 13 when this song came out. It is such a great reflection of the unique sounds of the early 90s. People were trying different things, and this track really stands out. I used to get so excited when it came on the radio or was played on MuchMusic. I was upset when the group broke up (they had a nasty separation) but they actually just recently reconciled and got back together.

[@jonnno2439]

Don't matter how many times i see this video, its ALWAYS amazing.

[@AmaanStorm]

"The evil witch" She was a representation of death. She wanted to take the love of the other girl, but the girl fought to keep him with her and wasn't ready to let him go. An incredible song that still makes me cry. Your reaction was priceless and I felt it!

[@debbiesmith8248]

Siobhan Fahey was in Bananarama. Marcella Detroit is the other member of Shakespeare Sister.

One of the best pop songs ever written and highly underrated as a group it’s a shame they didn’t have more success or albums to enjoy.
