This song is what got me into Lush. I was watching MTV at like 1 A.M. This song/video came on. I watched it with my jaw dropped to the floor. Then proceeded to go out and buy every CD Lush had out at the time, the next day. Been a fan ever since.

[@caimax1]

[@alisterfolson]

Just watched a bunch of youtube videos of thier live tour last year...good stuff

[@christiangranum7387]

Same here. This was 2016, but, better late than never eh. Incredible band! And so sad about Chris not sticking around anymore...

[@AmandaLaggan]

Same here. This song opened the doors to this dreamy world.

[@TexasHxcx1965]

@@christiangranum7387 I saw what would become his last show. So sad.

[@mordaciousfilms]

Their key changes and chord progressions send chills down my spine. I remember tearing up when I first heard them. The melodies did something to me. It's simultaneously intense, aggressive and also beautifully haunting.

[@marbleblue5127]

Wonderfully stated. Intense, aggressive and haunting. Still blows my mind that someone came up with this.

[@ChristopherMatson]

These ladies know their music theory.

[@fivedaysinjune]

Credit to the bassist, too.

[@1599maybole]

RIP Chris the drummer. I met him in a nightclub in London in the early 90s. Great guy, such a sad loss

[@TXMusicDrummer]

Indeed a sad loss. This and Laura from Spooky along with Deluxe is some of his best drumming with Lush.

[@HenritheHorse]

@@TXMusicDrummer Made that 9/8 and 6/8 groove.

[@brandonfranklin48]

That vocal harmony...

[@VB-3]

At whatever point in life you discover Lush, consider yourself lucky. Truly a gem from a better age in music. I remember first listening to Gala in 1991 or so, and was blown away. Been a fan ever since.

[@dracos921]

Me in the world Losing tears, shedding fears Strain for the sun Make you run, make you come You don't know You don't know I'm in my home All the time, on my own Low finger fine Take what's mine, from behind You don't know You don't know It's not there You don't care You're still inside of me Beneath the cotton core My pictures smile at me And soon they'll rise and soar Fill up my space Turn around, fade and trace Be absolute Blue and white, fatal fruit She nylon smile Full of lies, shining eyes Cover my grin Take a chance, maybe win It's not there It's not fair You don't know You don't care

[@mershark]

No one else has written music like Emma Anderson.

The sound just takes you where you want to be. There's no explaining it. Another masterpiece from 4AD.

[@puttyanimal3909]

Many a Walkman battery gave it's life so I could listen to this song over and over again.

I love how the bass drops into the song. Very cool. And the harmonizing. Wow. What a shame they don't make bands like this anymore.

[@bassofd00m]

they do, they're just hard to find

[@mitchellbaker9434]

When it comes down to the most elementary level, this band just sounds so good.

[@benedettobruno1669]

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Lush and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

[@jaysonmahaguay5888]

That's why British Bands are way ahead over their American counterparts, especially Innovating Rock music, from psychedelic, Punk, Heavy Metal, New Wave, Post Punk, Indie rock and Shoegaze

[@kanedasrifle]

That was the sweetest thing I've ever read on KZbin, especially how bad things are right now over here , bad times indeed for us all , ya gave me a little pride back , inner peace , stay safe.

Couldn't agree more as an American. Thank God for British bands!!!!!!

[@catchwreck928]

Why must you all always disrespect and discredit Foundational BLACK AMERICANS, AFTER ALL WE CREATED ROCK N ROLL, and without us NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE EXISTED ! So show your forever gratitude towards us. rock n roll jazz blues hip hop dj's rnb soul Funk House music techno all come from My people. Music would Not be the same without us period. so thats nice to show love for british people But dont EVER FORGET Where and What group started this ENTIRE GENRE.

[@inspirationalaries]

gorgeous, ethereal vocals and guitars...

[@alphacentauri8083]

The harmonies and creative bass lines with its peculiar pedal tone effect sounds like something Debussy could have composed. Very artistic.

[@shanehagan]

i know what you mean

[@andrewmhurth9845]

You have very good ears

[@BurningSpear213]

Emma was a truly exceptional songwriter, shame she never got more recognition.

[@cotton7960]

Debussy would have been a shoegaze musician if he was of that time

[@geoffolehane]

Just a great 90's band.

[@frankbeauchamp6945]

this song is about ghosting...the term wasn't really widely mentioned to the effect that it is in this generation...but the shift continues...classics and gems like this one...have such beautiful timbres and harmonies, with cryptic lyrics that leave a sense of longing for love, wanting/wishing for more...only denying the evident...travesty shoegaze...forever....approximately.....forever

[@mime3761]

Pretty sure Miki once said this song is about Tampax.

[@RagedContinuum]

it's about wearing a wig on a night out

[@lightmetamorphosis]

This is so effing dope. Please take me back to the 90's.

[@jordanhill3159]

The energy I get from this song is high vibrational and ethereal ❤️🔥🎸

[@FelipeElGatoBustamanteRenda]

This can't get anymore 90's. I feel like I'm living inside a Greg Araki film. I will NEVER NOT love this!

[@childrensentertainment7667]

I'm sure this song was a hit on other planets.

i know I am kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream newly released movies online?

[@roccomichael8577]

@Rayan Heath Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)

[@mondop5270]

If ever a band was underrated due to their sorta alternate/ indie-esque ledgend its this band. This is one of 3 songs from this album that almost tear my heart out and make me yearn for 1994 again. I find it so hard to listen to it, i know its a bit unhealthy but i just hate that life isnt as it was when i was 18...

[@CaropBec]

Are the others 'Tiny Smiles' and 'Fantasy'? Perhaps also Monochrome...

[@GReid-ol5gk]

Her voice is striking.

[@SFforlife]

God I love this band.

[@dannyvalentine468]

I love Miki's adorable smile at 2:46

[@xyhmo]

This is the most shoegaze song ever made. Love it. Also, lots of inverted chords, the bass is all over the wall of sound.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Great song but not shoegaze.

[@xyhmo]

@@TheMusicalElitist it's shoegaze. But believe what you want, wont discuss (incredibly pointless).

[@Trxxytd]

@@TheMusicalElitistit’s definitely Shoegaze

[@lloydmilton9808]

Lush is the band that allowed me to make it though my time in the military. It is a shame that I never got the chance to see them live.

[@4ad_official]

we really want to, but it's going to take a while... locating masters and that kind of thing.

[@LiamTorres-Shaw]

Please I need Lush on CD bad.

[@Giuly_fantasy]

Shoegaze at its best.

[@1964dangerous]

cocteau twins with attitude!

[@jawoody9745]

David Alderson It was Robin Guthrie's production. The similarities are definitely there.....

[@lostinstgo2]

+David Alderson like if Cocteau Twins doesn't had it. They were just different. Really different.

[@jackjude]

@@jawoody9745 The production was so important with this sound, I remember there were problems with Split's dynamics initially - a different producer Mike Hedges - and it was later remixed by Alan Moulder (MBV, Curve, Swervedriver and Ride).

[@shawn6669]

Miki famously went extra mean girl on Liz Frazer back in the day calling her fat. Ah youth....

[@aphil4581]

Ultimate Lush. This song just blew me away on College radio. Boston. Here I am at 66yrs old. Hearing it again.

[@ivanantunovic8335]

The legend lives on. Thank you Lush.

[@whyisblue923taken]

There's something about that bass that makes the song. Beautiful.

[@michaeljames6953]

I was actually at the concert at the Glasgow Uni QMU venue where a lot of this video was filmed!

[@ronbzoom8531]

Deluxe was the tune that turned me on to Lush. I ran out and got Gala which turned out to be a bit of a compilation of EPs, I think. There was a song on there called Downer that sounds like a precursor to Superblast! I go back and forth trying to figure out which I like better. They both rock. They both trip. God, I miss this band.

[@robrix9330]

30 years on and I'm totally back in love with Lush again.

[@teh1990dude]

My favorite Lush tune, great video too capturing the essence of the band. One of the better tunes out of the 90's.

[@scottjohnson8316]

Nothing sounded like this or made you feel the same way as this......it’s like a Cure like effect but it’s much more beautiful than the Cure and more shimmery. It elevates

[@andersontimmm]

4AD folks, are there any plans to release remasters of all Lush albums? This needs to happen!

[@cabrini99]

it’s happening this month

Absolutely wicked! So much intense, powerful guitar noise combined with lovely melody and harmony. Glad to hear they have reformed, along with Slowdive.

[@leopold7562]

Sigh… I listen to this song and it takes me right back to my university days in the early 90s. Back to a time when I felt confident, indestructible, energetic. A time where I could do anything and everything was possible. It all feels like such a distant memory, but hearing the music takes me back to those good times. That makes me sound like a right miserable old fart! My life is pretty good, to be fair. I’m still young in my head, my eyes and ears still work pretty well, even if the rest of me doesn’t, and I’m married to an amazing woman, have fantastic kids and grandkids, a job I really enjoy, a flash car to indulge my midlife crisis and a home in a really nice area. And on top of that, I was young when music like this was happening. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky, but I’m bloody glad I did it!

[@RedGoldGreen-Dub]

[@InvalidUsername1323]

[@remopiwak6026]

was at a show and when this song came while waiting for the next band it got me more excited than the actual bands playing

[@seancoxxx]

I have a hard time deciding who is dreamier? Miki or Emma? Miki has the confidence and thats attractive but Emma has that undeniable Shyness that i find so HOTT!!!!! Not to mention i heard that Emma was always the brains behind the band. (and i appologise for my opinions and i hope they dont fuel any resentment or petty feelings in the band cuz LORD KNOWS WE NEED LUSH!!!!!!!) SOCIETY AND MUSIC AS A WHOLE NEED LUSH BACK IN FULL FORM!!!!!!
