The Tear Garden - You and Me and Rainbows [ Full + HQ ]

[@lbruington]

It's hard to believe this is 30 years old. I was heavy into this in high school. Pretty deep music for a 15 year old kid...I'm over 40 now and this is just as awesome as it ever was.

[@tomt5745]

Bam! Im 50 now, and this track is still haunting me. Where did time went? Still running, but the ground is opening up

[@TheElvisDiet]

i agree, love songs by yukihiro takahashi, HiLt

[@MorrisonsProphecy]

First time I heard this track was fresh out of "CRAZY" Right wing fundamentalist Christianity. (There may or not have been fungi involved.... 😊)

[@cablevamp3163]

Same dude

[@schuyler242]

I used to DJ at a Goth club in Colorado, and finally the last time I DJ'd this was the last song I ever played. Since the Tear Garden have never toured (WTF?) I always wanted to hear this song very loud. Mission accomplished.

[@philipripper1522]

+Schuyler242 Which club?

[@Esotericyoga]

I have probably danced to ya tunes.

[@schuyler242]

The Underground in the Springs.

[@guysmiley7289]

That would be an empty dance floor with two nerds. Most likely one of them resembling myself.

[@the8thasterisk]

Not necessarily, I also DJ'd this at a special function- and the dance floor filled.

[@MorrisonsProphecy]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time in ways I can never hope to express to anyone. If you get it, you get it. If you don't, I can't explain it to you.

[@lisaspears530]

It took me ten years to get into this song. In 2005, I was part of the goth music share community in livejournal, and someone shared this track, raving about how "if you have one track by the Tear Garden, it HAS to be this one..." but I simply couldn't get into it. I tried, listened over and over, but it just didn't do it for me. Flash forward to 2014. I was commuting between Amsterdam and the Hague, a 50 minute train ride. After a while, I got sick of the music I was listening to, and one night, I was heading back to A'dam after dark. At night, they leave the lights on in the train, so you can't even look out the window (because of the glare). So I did what was, at the time, the completely unthinkable: I put my ipod on shuffle. This song came on, and I thought, what the hell, I've got 50 mins. I immediately got chills. Although I hadn't listened to it in eight years, I remembered the drum beat, Edward's creepy, ominous voice in the opening minutes, like letting you know something insane is about to happen. I had seen the pink dots at Slim's in SF a few years back, and could really picture him in that moment. When the guitar riff started at 11.04, it was like a punch to the gut. I actually started to cry, right there on public transit. It was one of the most beautiful riffs I'd ever heard. By 13.21, I was already emotional, and that next movement felt like I was being welcomed home after a long trip. Six years later, I still listen to all 17 minutes of this track regularly. I am now one of those people who obnoxiously tells people they "HAVE" to have this song.

[@craigrobb8197]

this song and ophelia are just incredible

[@osservsmith999]

i love every nook and cranny of this song with my whole heart. It's been a blessing in my life since the day I heard it.

[@iamemileo]

Praise Thee for giving this Song in it's Entirety.

[@RyogaXvX]

True goth

[@colonialstraits1069]

One of my favorite records, in my late teens (late 1980s). This song is EPIC, it still gives me goosebumps.

[@daBEAGLE1017]

Late 80s was a great time for industrial teens as us.

[@MrMichaelPolo]

This song is one of the best songs ever written, I miss you soo much Sonia 😢

[@craigrobb8197]

you can't cut this song short, mood is everything in this song

[@christabcook]

Part of my being! I've listened to this many times over 20 plus years and it lives in my heart..

[@icysurfer1]

I think you are my type of person Christa..!

[@christabcook]

Maybe you're my type of person too Aaron!

[@icysurfer1]

Thank You - You must be an Indigo Person.. I salute your soul.

[@sk8bratv398]

Omg I could not have put it any better

[@IllegalTornado]

my first time ever listening to this song gave me an emotion that i could not explain, had never felt before, and probably will never feel again. An absolutely amazing experience to listen to even now, but hard to find the words to recommend it to people.

16 minutes and 46 secs of enigmatic music and beautyful lyrics.

You're number eight. Your name is Jane, with black hair, braids, and black lines around your eyes... Shades to hide your habit. I don't know your age, though you guessed mine... My sign. Your sign! The opening line is always just the same. The same intention, destination. - just you and me and rainbows. Loaded guns attract. We know the rules, we don't react. We wait in hope, we don't expect - just you and me and rainbows. Down here everything is fine. We have a straw, we have a line. We have a bag, a rock, a mountain with a string of shepherds driving lions. Aiming skewers at the sheep... face down, asleep in onion fields. The frying fields. The worms... they peep through holes which once were eyes. They thrive... they bake although we painted out the sky and the sun. There's only thunder, and you and me and rainbows. Let's hide out in the lay-by, let the time fly by. Tonight's disguise - a car crash with our wheels like shattered stars, our dashboard charred. Our windscreen... a graveyard for the flies (we're fast!) The hungry flies are circling, mourning as the watchers squat with cameras, cakes and flasks. They're spying, spitting as the blue light flashes, axes swing. We're broken wings, but still we'll fly and we'll reach our destination - you and me and rainbows. If we turn the lights down low and watch the sky cry through the window... Will I watch your fingers grow and stretch like butterflies? The shadows flexing, licking toes, and blinding as slowly sun sets on the same old hill. The same red glow. We're quite alone - just you and me and rainbows. Everything I own is in the corner of your room. It's covered with a sheet just like it died - but I will take a broom. I'll sweep it new again, arrange it... Oh, I'll grow a dozen hands. No I never will neglect my world again. I'm safe beneath my blanket. Call it home... For you. For me... and rainbows Loaded guns attract We know the rules, we don't react We wait in hope We don't expect Just you and me and rainbows Looking down. The Tear Garden - You And Me And Rainbows [ Full + HQ ]

[@nothingdotdlmsc381]

their best song, one of if not the best song ever, thank you

[@amberfashing1136]

nothing dotdlmsc Hail Eris yes it is

[@adamburgins441]

Just some needle junkies doing junky shit

[@FistSaidToTheFace]

We're broken wings, but sure we'll fly and reach our destination. You and me and rainbows.

[@testpattern23]

20 yr old me came back to listen to this and it's still powerful (27 yrs and I still love em)

[@jaysmakingprogress]

I don’t know why I’ve never heard this until today. I was searching for “progressive industrial” and not only was this exactly what I was searching for, it features some of my absolute favorite musicians.

[@Syneq23]

I love this song so hard. Thank you

[@williamdavidbristow6630]

"I'll sweep it new again, arrange it... Oh, I'll grow a dozen hands. No I never will neglect my world again"

[@tomt5745]

This is a true gem. A genial collaboration. Edward and cEVIN. What could possibly go wrong?

[@austonsmith536]

Star's become aligned and Cthulhu swallows the sea... That's all... Nothing too serious, right?

[@loopy1774]

This song scared the s*** out of my young children. They would beg me to stop playing it. I just couldn't.

[@app103]

My daughter considers it another track in the collection of "Mom's Scary Music."

[@Jsteiner1974]

This came out when I was in HS and I still listen to it. I always imagine a video for it. Two addicts who think they're in love w/each other, descending together to the darkest deepest hell their habit leads to.

[@Stjohn909]

I think it was Chris Connelly who sold me this CD at the Wax Trax store in Chicago back in the day. I really loved the Centre Bullet EP and had no idea there was a full album, so imagine the feels when getting my mitts on this gem.

[@franksanfelippo6623]

Stjohn909 i used to come down from milwaukee to waxx in the late 80s every weekend Ive met Uncle Al and he was totally a great guy who chatted with us for 15 min. Theae days it wouldnt happen with the rockers being too big for the fans I miss waxx teaxx

[@daBEAGLE1017]

I met quite a few artists at WaxTrax and they were all humble. Chris was a cool guy.

[@spkelse4573]

It's been a while since I've heard this. It's just.. perfect.

[@jacksally88]

This is the sweet stuff.

[@guymontag2948]

I was introduced to this by Patty Schmidt on Brave New Waves on CBC Radio 2 in the late 90s and I've loved it ever since.

[@metaphy]

I used to be buy every record published by Skinny Puppy and Legendary Pink Dots since their beginning. I loved so much this album. Quintessential.

[@cmccartney80]

A buddy introduced me to this group with this song in 94 and still my fav song

[@itsmysniff4950]

Im so happy to see this here. Meredith kohler introduced me to this in 94. I miss her alot. Thank you for sending those tapes. We should have moved in together, who knows? When I stayed in cape coral I wanted to drive to st pete daily. Years later back in nc I still think of you.

[@unholyroller11]

All this time later. Still magic. 🖤

[@chelseavandersys9401]

Oh, how I have missed this track! Near and ever so dear to my heart! Thank you for posting the lyrics. 💖💖💖

[@KplusU]

I lost my virginity to this song back in 98' when I was 16. SO AWESOME TO HEAR THIS AGAIN!

[@corvidox]

Must've been a fuckin trip

[@frantzbalinski6451]

Thanks for posting this marvellous track (an all this LP is). I really like the very two *Tear Garden* debut records : the mini-LP (aka *Center Bullet*), and this LP (*Tired Eyes Slowly Burning*). I have them both as vinyle, and I'll always keep them both, whatever anything could happen.

[@davidcoto15]

There's something in this song that really scares the shit out of me

[@TheTperge]

Probably the ogre part.

[@MaxmaxOFF81]

It's...beautiful!

[@TonelocmansonsGamersParadise]

this song sums up my life back in the day

[@icysurfer1]

Have always loved this track. thx...

[@davidkennedy585]

[@SweetSweetWaldo]

Yesterday I saw a rainbow, and then they started playing "They Can't Take That From Me" on the radio. I knew what I had to do...

[@VE3UND]

Thanks for this and the mini-bio much props

[@pauljohnson3963]

This song is about me. I am number 8.

[@ryobibattery]

Have this album on CD and cassette and even have that limited to 2000 russian compilation with this track

[@VondaInWonderland]

I am a happy girl with rainbows♥

[@billthon1099]

ageless music, We wait in Hope, We don't expect - Has it really been 30 years.

[@nothingdotdlmsc381]

listen to the ending backwards. like many LPD and TG songs it's interesting.

[@DerptyDerptyDUM]

Ahhhh, how this takes me back..... to tripping balls in a black-lit room in the 90's. Glorious. 🌈🖤

[@frantzbalinski6451]

PS : I'm sure that the part _"Let's hide out in the lay-by, ... We're broken wings..."_ is sang by *Nivek Ogre* himself, for a little appearence in this side-project. Isn't it ? ;P

[@loveorjustacrush]

Frantz Balinski that is Nivek’s voice for sure! Unmistakable and incomparable. 💕❤️

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Could be no other... it’s sooo goood

[@rainboweldor3730]

This was my Staiway to Heaven

[@Lux019]

Ici-bas, tout est OK. Nous avons la paille, nous avons une ligne, nous avons un sac, une pierre, une montagne, avec une ceinture de bergers animant les lions... Une brochette de moutons, prête à viser, la tête baissée, endormie, en rangs d'oignons... Les terrains effervescents - les vers qui piaillent à travers les trous - qui jadis furent des yeux, ils dominent - ils fermentent, et même si nous peignons le ciel... Le Soleil... Il n'y a que le Tonnerre... Et toi, et moi, et L'Arc-en-ciel.

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

coolness.

[@belovedconsole]

Remember, after the first few times, always starting this song at 8:01?

[@septickittens2040]

I've met cEvin key. We've talked, but he shuts down when I try to talk about this song. My sister introduced me to this band with this song and she died at 23 with these lyrics written down on paper under her bed. Edward shut me down too., when I met him and tried to talk about it. I don't get it, I just wanted to tell them what this song means to me

[@youtubesucks2575]

Guess they really didn’t care about how you felt about hearing the song 😢

[@emilyelenaelson]

Does anyone know what analog synthesizer is used for this massive sounding arpeggio intro?

[@derkaffeeistlangweilig]

wth far more peoplse should know this music let's open wide the gates of the garden this is the way step inside ooopppss

Anyone have any links/resources on Ogre and Edward Ka-Spel interviews regarding their collaborations? Mainly interested in ones where they are interviewed together.

David P. How exactly though??? I am not into both their genre of music... So I honestly can't relate the two together... It starts to really get bad with the random thumps and bumps... (: -p I'm gonna reallyasusme this is what goth music is... Its very incoherent and difficult to groove into...

*Pantone (R) Versus Primary Colors* "A Secret IQ Test" Have you achieved the Star Trek Q Continuum? How intelligent are your friends, really? A simple trick to measure someone's intelligence and scholarship and a way to bypass long tests or written quizzes and IQ tests is to ask whether they see humanity as all about the same, or vastly different and eclectic. Whether they see humanity as a difference of two feet or two hundred miles is obviously in favor of two hundred miles and vastly different and eclectic. This is due to transcendental perspectives and worldly wise viewpoints that only arrive through intelligent discourse. However, this must be done secretly as to not insult a large number of people for then it would create too much controversy. This can be further exemplified with the use of color schemes. One may feel more at ease with a tapestry of rich and subtle colors such as in a Pantone (R) book used for graphic arts or with a simple three color wheel of primary colors. A person can get smarter. It just takes a lot of work. Use with caution. This measurement is in alignment with the downward force of complexity and drive in the hierarchy of the spiritual and general consciousness of the universe. Note* This test only works to a certain degree of intelligence because at the end the world becomes more of an unchanging truth but still a certain degree of eclecticism will probably remain intact. It's an expanding universe slowly increasing in complexity as it expands. Being at ease with an increasingly complex universe is definitely a sign of extra intelligence.
