[@patmccrotch5373]

The 'Angus' soundtrack.. I wore out that cassette so fast, such an amazing snapshot of alternative rock in '94-95.

[@brawnerbandwidthmusic2529]

I remember the movie and the one thing I will cherish is this song. Took forever to find out who sang it. Another song that happened to me with was Bad Reputation by Freedy Johnston

[@blackbird5634]

ANGUS!!!

[@Gwildor2020]

Completely agree. While I was in middle school when it came out, I had the same obsession with Green Day. While it may be nostalgia for that time as a kid, 94-96 alternative was my favorite era of music. And Angus is a great film to boot!

[@patmccrotch5373]

@@Gwildor2020 same here, I was in maybe 4th or 5th grade and was obsessed with green day, and jar is still my favorite green day song along with having a blast. We're cut from the same mold brotha!

[@GregoriusAP]

Yup. I bought the album just because Green Day's song JAR. However this song and Weezer's You Gave Your Love to Me Softly are my fave songs from the album. Angus itself is also a good movie.

[@rygi23]

Can remember the very first time I heard this song on the radio in '94. Was going through hard times. Went to warm my car up in the morning. Turned the key and this came on. Just the sound of it made me sit and reflect. Went and bought the album that day. Great music.

[@quantumparadox2518]

rygi23 only music can have this effect on us. It's what makes it truly amazing.

[@jessewiedinmyer]

The first time I heard this was this broadcast. Staying up late at the shore. I bought the album the next day.

[@stressedworried8615]

I’m new.. Richard fortus brought me here. Love it. Uk 🇬🇧

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Stuff happens Cool story

[@arislabra3929]

Went on a 3 hour walk in the summer of 94' and this was the only song that kept playing in my Walkman. To this day I'm still amazed that equipment didn't give out, I kept rewinding it each time this song ends! Japanese ingenuity at its finest! 😁

[@lisetteheilman6361]

My gosh, everything Richard touches turns to pure gold.

[@lhart99]

My thoughts exactly. I'm just beside myself thinking about that fact!

[@davidlancaster8152]

I saw Love Spit Love at the Moore Theater in Seattle. I've seen the Furs countless times. Never a bad show ever. Got to go on the tour bus behind the Gothic Theater in Englewood, Colorado and hang out with Mars Williams. If you haven't seen them you must. First time was Red Rocks Amphitheatre 1987.

[@davidlancaster8152]

I actually have a radio release copy of the first Love Spit Love. Apparently the original company Indigo that produced the CDs robbed everyone and skipped town. It took time to get the masters back and produce copies. I bought mine in a used record/cd store. Id been looking everywhere.

[@irishguy977]

Conan and Jon Stewart always had the coolest bands!!

[@corporaterobotslave400]

A friend of mine was his guitar tech while they were recording this album in Hollywood; I was like "do you have ANY idea who you're working for?" omg.

[@safaith6502]

I cry every time I hear this song thru out the years - it really strikes a chord in my lonely heart.

[@klausrain111]

Absolutely love Richard and everything he does. He's one of a kind, too.

[@cdjoy282]

I agree. I met him at their Maryland show last week. He smells good too!

[@NewWaveFan1]

Angus...

[@Chandlerbingeling]

which Angus? Angus Young?

Love the song in the beginning of the movie with the marching band playing along. Great touch and a super underrated teen movie.

First band I ever saw perform live--what a helluva way to start.

[@cjcheetham3367]

I love this song and wish that Richard would sing it at a Furs show

[@NMAfreak]

He has done it at some Furs shows

[@gerardprice3017]

Hello I saw the psychedelic furs in the 80$ at CBGB's one of the best shows ever

[@thecatinthetinfoilhat915]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, my favorite song of all time, performed live. I also adore this band, and wish Richard would bring it back

91 ! Year I was blessed into this beautiful Life! Especially growing up to one of the greatest decades/generations! All time! Good lord please bring me back !!!!!!!!!!!

[@tylerjones8641]

love how none of the instruments overpower each other, but instead blend so perfectly. the bass in this song is particularly great. adore this song. I was originally turned onto it by hearing the cover of it by the indie/emo band Brand New

[@BurgundyCouture]

I miss you so much, John. I'll never forget you sending me the link to this that night. You'll never understand what I felt and still feel for you.

[@BurgundyCouture]

I never thought in a million years that I'd hear from you again, John. But reached out. I wish you understood how much I love you, and that you would let me love you. I still can't believe that you contacted me after all those years, but I'm so happy you did. I just wish you knew how to RESPECT me. I don't know if you'll see this, or remember that I commented, but I love you so much. I wish you loved me in the same way.

[@cherylvanepps66]

WOW, Richard Butler still sounds great! Saw the Furs back in the late 80's stood right by the stage and Shook Mr. Butler's hand. I'll never forget it :D

[@melp4184]

I saw them in 2015 and probably the best concert I've ever been too. Amazing!

[@juliebenson9190]

pure solid gold - a gorgeous song

[@taunshortridge7447]

Any body else catch, the first verse is wrong and he corrected beautifully! This sound, it sank into me, hit the pain vibration that I was experiencing! It helped me through recovery from abuse and then hearing in with the brass in Angus, hell yeah! I did go a little nutty in the theater, hearing marching band version! Thank you for the post! Thank you John for sharing this song to the world!

[@Chandlerbingeling]

This live version sounds so much better than the studio take. And that was already nice.

[@BillyTimes-dw7vs]

One beautiful voice

[@JoeyLevenson]

Always loved their two records! What a great tune.

[@joechiro]

And he still has it today 2022

[@thenewlostmountaintravelers]

This is a great performance. And it seems to me, in this moment, Mr. Butler is...happy.

[@wolfgang4468]

Richard has such a great singing voice. I am always amazed when watching interviews that his speaking voice does not show any of it.

[@jeanieryan3209]

That voice... ❤

[@breannaberg7819]

How did I never hear this song?!!!!!!!!!!

[@xnslrzn]

goosebumps. this song reminds me of the movie Angus.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Richard Fortus with the short hair 😳. Great song!

[@manuelsegoviano1572]

I was gonna say the mannerisms are him but I’m so used to his look now i needed to confirm if that was him

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Saw LSL in Seattle at the Crocodile in 1997, phenomenal show. Already a big fan of the P Furs in the late 70's early 80's. Wish LSL had put out at least one more LP. Fortus was a beast live that night in Seattle, never forgot how good he was.

[@b.j.loveislove9090]

What a great memory!

[@pietermeulendijks2749]

Brilliant, a pearl in time

[@allansacharow1088]

Thank you. I was always a fan of Psychedelic Furs. For some reason this project flew under my radar. These songs by Richard Butler/ L.S.L are fantastic. All could've been big hits if the stupid radio stations would ever play them.

[@johndalber1165]

That guitar player though! Wow

[@xiu7310]

He is Richard Fortus of Guns N’ Roses since 2002.

[@danecastellano5984]

This is my favorite song. I’ve always listened to the cover by brand new but Oh-my-god was this amazing and rightfully so he wrote the song after all. His voice his facial expressions I love this.

[@ManCalledMarco]

I love Richard of course, but let's face it the "other" Richard's guitar playing is impeccable.

[@glowskullsmedia1499]

i own the cassette, what a legend richard butler is

Good job dude live version sounds as good as the studio version

[@DougLannom]

Great song! Personally, I love Richard and Frank with GnR. Seen them many, many times!

[@guyphawkes]

Actually, funny story, I worked the tour of the furs and bunnymen in 01, Standing there eating a sandwich with Richard Fortus, he and I were discussing the Bunnymen, and how they are one of his ABSOLUTE fave bands. I mean, wow, he was thrilled to be on tour with them. I asked him if they would do any LSL on this tour, as they had done mixed sets before, he said, yeah, prolly not. Then during soundcheck, they actually played half of this song, and then half of Fall on tears, only half... Then NOTHING that night, kind of a ... Almost, premature orgasm or something. They did great shows that tour, I just wish they would put out new material, last from the furs was late summer 1991, and the LSL , a few years later, now, still touring, but lets have some new stuff fellas.

[@NMAfreak]

yeah, that would be torture that they played a bit and then stop, and they work on them but then don't go through with it. Sounds like some cool times sir!

[@guyphawkes]

NMAfreak yeah, My stories and experiences for a lot of bands, are 2nd to none. Ive done U2, Bunnymen, the Furs, I shot Peter Hook and the Light in November. That day with the Furs and LSL attempts, I ended up driving the bunnymen around Boston, because, they needed some stuff, going to walmart etc. I had my car cause it was local, so they had me drive them everywhere. So, I have my 2nd fave band in my car, driving them to Walmart, the computer store, Musicians planet. IT was cheaper than paying for the club runner I suppose, and, hey, I was on the tour. The Furs were all incredibly nice guys ... When Richard gets in a good sarcastic mood, he has you laughing . John Ashton told us some stories about crossing into Canada, Good hell that guy was Awesome funny. They had a stand in drummer that set of dates, Frank was off doing some other project at the time. Tim, nice guy, kind of anti social, but in the right mood, great guy too.

[@jeffp8856]

I have this bit on a VHS tape somewhere. I wonder what Richard Butler found so amusing around the 2:00 mark and at the end of the song.

[@alphonseelric2514]

omg that bass , amazing!!!

[@skeeter_henry_21]

If you like bass, go quickly and listen to 'Run and Run' by the Psychedelic Furs. The bass sound, especially at the end is just amazing!

[@lathejordon6892]

Been looking for this song--didn't know the name.

[@Mrsmaldini]

I first listened to this tune when I saw an episode of party of five and it got stuck in my head ever since. I've loved this tune for quite some years now and I still do.That bitterness towards life "You let life get in your way" Awesome!... p.s. Never saw Angus so I prefer the original tune...

[@guillermoperez-ge7mc]

It was my anthem at a time when I was very lonely and truly done with life, even though I had close friends and family who were very worried about of but didn't know what to do. I really wanted a way to gently say goodbye to them and tell them it would be okay if I just went to sleep.

[@Ratfink820]

I'm a pretty big fan of the Psychedelic Furs but I love this song but ironically it's the only love spit love song I really enjoy!

[@estrelaperez8]

Hope to see the Furs before I die. Amen. :)

[@lhart99]

Estrela, I swear to you, I never ever in a million life times thought I'd see the Furs live. Now, I've seen them 15 times. They hit-up Portland, Oregon a lot on their way to Seattle, Washington. Anyway, every time the Furs tour the West-Coast, I see every f'ing show. Don't give up hope!! I waited 28 years to see them the first time. Even if you have to save up a tone of $$ to travel to see them, they are worth it. Heck, I suggest planning a trip that consists of seeing them multiple times in one trip. I've been blessed with meeting fellow fans, and with traveling blessings, you know? :-)

[@estrelaperez8]

Dear friend, thanks a lot for your kind reply! Am glad for you but I still haven't succeed in doing that. Really hope to do that and follow your advice soon, thank god I have some money saved and can afford a long travel and multiple venues. I love the furs so much and I hope that some of them turns his/her head and notice how much I wish to see and talk to them. Am not the kind of person that screams or what at the concerts. Am a musician as well who wants just to listen and to talk to them. I know the second part would be harder but...never quit to try, that's my motto! Have a nice day from Italy. E.

[@kpec3]

I feel like my voice sounds like Butler's. It was unintentional, but I'm totally happy about this actually! Also, this band just jams! That drummer moves effortlessly.

[@NMAfreak]

The guitarist and drummer play in Guns n Roses. I also s aw w the drummer playing with Tommy Stintson

[@kpec3]

NMAfreak Those guys could play with anybody. I didn't realize how good LSL was back then.

What went wrong by blink 182 was inspired by this song

[@JoeyLevenson]

Saw LSL in a Tower Records in Chicago doing an acoustic set and met them. Richard was so nice. Who knew Fortus would go on to join GnR all those years later. Im a Furs fan, and I have a special place for LSL, as well.

[@NMAfreak]

And not only Fortus with GnR but Frank too! So unlikely

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

Why there isn't any video with a live performance of How Soon is Now, their famous cover from The Smiths that was used in the movie The Craft and the tv series Charmed?
