Lightning Seeds - Pure (Live)

[@pattimurphyrocks]

This is one of the sweetest songs I have ever heard. I bought the cassette when it came out. My daughter was in 9th grade at the time and we played it over and over. Time goes by so fast. I am turning 69 in February and I am still amazed by this beauty. It is poetry.

I really don't mean this in a creepy or weird way, but you really look incredible for your age !

@@craigwilson6429 not creepy at all. Thanks!

[@stephenruff157]

Ian has said himself recently "Pure" is the best song he's written. And to be honest, Pure is a classic. Thankyou Ian.

[@waziotter]

Best 3 minute pop song ever written. The keyboard and bass parts are perfect and will never be bettered.

[@bertrey7059]

4 minutes in this and other versions, none wasted. 👍

[@demetriospappas1112]

2020 still listing it with the same feeling I had in 1989.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Me too :)

[@kushkush7954]

Me too in 2022

[@michaeldawson9132]

I'm listening in 2023 and it still feels that way.

[@james2578]

You lucky lucky people!! Hope it lasts forevrrrrr ❤

[@johnbeaney1237]

I am 61 and have always loved this song but have not always been aware of it!! I know that sounds stupid but life has been up and down to say the least!! Been hitting it alot lately though ,a touch of audio loveliness in an ever increasing bonkers world!!!

[@neilmahar7107]

Me too

[@andlum]

It's the keyboard that carries the contra melody...this adds a great deal to the song!!

[@mauriciocameron2943]

I guess I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@jimjensen8048]

It works for me

[@Frank.nKansas]

What a great song!

[@BuddhiYoga7]

i love this song, the outpouring of lyrics at the end is so infectious...look at me with starry eyes, push me up to starry skies...

[@norbertalad]

Was walking the dog on Paddington meadows and heard them doing this at Warrington festival. Brilliant.

[@josemartinez-nl8dn]

Great song I love the keyboard sound

[@pauloprella949]

This song simply stuck in my unconscious and remain there untik i lidtened to it by chance. It took me back to when i was a child. Pure and simply beautiful.

[@edwardfrench5583]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cuz they capture the 80s with grandeur and a dash of sorrow.👍🏼😀

[@larrydanadavid2435]

Not so much sorrow but reflection.

[@rw8733]

I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could 😢. Better times.

[@3107197000]

In all the years I've listed to this song, this is my first time hearing it live..and it's just as sweet as it is on the record..class tune..one of the best tunes written...IMO!

[@louisewilliams847]

Adore this tune, must listen to it at least 10 times a week..

[@foxspeedlogistics]

[@PomskieSaints91]

One of the best songs of all time

[@mrlatino1964]

Sometimes a song will just grab you, that what this one did to me. Loving it

[@youngfeller5376]

Couldn't agree more. Had me the 1st time I heard it

[@jesseabreu3849]

​​@@youngfeller5376Try the song by Kylie Monogue called every day is like Christmas. It did me just like this song. First time. Listened to it 150 times in the last year

[@mirmahmood2619]

Perhaps someone you know can sparkle and shine.

[@antonynoon5325]

Must be as I’ve matured I’ve come to realise what great song this is

[@Eggnoodlesandketchup3]

Quality song writing, decent live sound

[@wakingupfrom]

Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine As daydreams slide to color from shadow Picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes And I love you Just lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple everytime Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple everytime Dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons Where feelings not reasons, can make you decide As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights And I love you Just lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple every time Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you If love's the truth then look no lies And let me swim around your eyes I've found a place I'll never leave Shut my mouth and just believe Love is the truth I realize Not a stream of pretty lies To use us up and waste our time Lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple every time Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you Pure and simple just for you

[@edwardgarcia6399]

thank you.

[@boydegg]

I saw them live once - and it was an excellent show.

[@catgirlKL]

Love that song and love The Lightning Seeds, seen them a couple of times now.

[@margierosales6973]

This song reminds me of my grandson he's special needs

[@jeromeprevot930]

I am french. I discovered this song very late. It was not a hit in France at the time. I still don't understand why.....

[@boydegg]

Saw them live once. They were AMAZING.

[@karlbyrne1111]

Looking forward to seeing these guys next Saturday in Dublin

[@alexcabezos7819]

I do not know much about this group, but I have this son deep inside from the first time.

[@tube00tube]

Yes, there is an original video of Pure. It was on KZbin up until a few months ago, then it was removed for some reason. I should have downloaded it. Great video.

[@mrnickb]

yeah me too tell me if you find it! is there even one? one of my favourite songs by them brings back memories!

[@jimobrien7000]

Absolutely fantastic live

[@Nicktheguvnor]

Still one of the coolest songs ever...

[@denisesaunders3067]

I saw these guys at the kubix festival. Riley (ian's son) was there playing guitar, and ringo's son playing the drums.

[@uwukwuwu]

Hermosa rola como extraño esos tiempos.pos de vagancia risas y alegrías sin pensar en nada más........

[@markhower8986]

Great performance ! !

[@tube00tube]

Great song. I would love to find the original video of this song.

[@artfuldodgersite]

I like this version as more than the studio version, but you have to give Ian Broudie a break. The Lightning Seeds album "Cloudcuckooland" was a solo project by Ian Brodie - So all the songs, instruments, recording were done with track recording. Ian produced groups such as Echo and The Bunnymen, Icicle Works, and the Fall. thanks for posting the video!

Thank you for the information, always is learned slightly newly, that good that this video should extract tape-worm in VHS for more than 10 years ago

Drummer obviously found the original drum beat too difficult to master so just went with bang, bang, banging the beat out.
