Magazine The Light Pours Out Of Me

[@jtaylor9562]

John Mcgeoch is one of the finest Guitar players, ever!!

[@Jah_Rastafari_ORIG]

@jtaylor9562 ...or _was_ , at least.

[@brianjones4026]

his riff and arrangement in thi one is just next level and played with such ease ! Its a very sad story his, he deserved far more !

[@soulminer]

Devoto is one of the greatest lyricists ever. And Real Life is in my top fave 10 albums ever😃

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I cannot think of a punkier/ funkier start to any song I’ve ever heard... it’s not possible to not tap your foot or nod head whilst listening to this ... vastly underrated song AND band come to think of it

[@MrChristopherHaas]

yes YES! i never knew Magazine existed as a 60 year old midwesterner US. i woke up one night at 4 am put on you tube lookin for a podcast to fall back to sleep to. then i saw the thumbnail of them playin this. so i gave it a chance, the title of song drew me in because my profile pic appears to have a beam of light coming out of my head lol. the opening grabbed me by the ear IMMEDIATELY, both song and presentation superb. i ended up playing it…..and the next song that automatically came up…Motorcade….over and over and over again that night right from the getgo. its been a loooooong time since THAT happened😘

[@MrChristopherHaas]

Mr. Samhein did you create this video yourself? Nicely done. or is this some kind of “official video”? ive been creating my own video in my mind, same with Motorcade, great songs put images into mortal mans minds.

[@StevieMcC]

@@MrChristopherHaasIt’s from the movie Away Days.

[@MrChristopherHaas]

@@StevieMcC thanks? thats what it looks like,clips from a film. and it looks like a right fine film to watch for this U.S. irishman. DID YOU LIKE THE FILM? feel free to evaluate it HERE, i WILL read it.

[@pellelidell007]

Devoto...McGeoch...Adamson...Formula...Doyle. They were the soundtrack of my life here in Stockholm! Geniuses of cutting-edge post-punk, razor-sharp lyrics and emotion! From the moment I heard "Shot By Both Sides" in '78, I became a disciple...

[@stevewilson9479]

magazine represented more than post punk..they were an art form!

[@Emnor1993]

right on - but isn't that kind of what post-punk is? The collision of the absolute cut and reset of punk (the acknowlegdement of that and also the transgression into something less on-the-nose), with art sensibility and experimentation. Certainly it's more that than any discernible style, no?

John McGeoch died too young. one of the most influential guitar players from the late 1970s and 1980s. we were Spellbound...

[@johnclamp1535]

We were spellbound indeed.

[@NormAppleton]

Honeyman-Scott too. So sad they're both gone.

[@hugosophy]

Damn I didn’t even know he passed. Sad… RIP

[@The1stMrJohn]

@@hugosophy He played Eastwood guitars. You can get a McGeoch Eastwood signiture guitar. They were designed with him and were intentionally built to be on the much more affordable side of signiture guitars. Last time I looked, in my country the were something like £900. (things may have changed since January 2021 when we left the EU.... everything is so much more expensive now) 😀 I shall see how much one costs now. £900 is about USD $ 1,280.

[@felipec.santos4370]

This is the early stage of Post-Punk and it's awesome!

Gosh... i can remember when this came out. Made a big impression in my circles. Those were very interesting times for a music lover!

[@marks.6480]

[@chadjazeera9960]

God I fucking love this band.

[@nickdryad]

I always thought of this song as being more existential than about fighting.

[@Emnor1993]

I mean sure, but then again, its just the film that is very much about fighting. just a different angle to use the song, I'd say?

[@420dAn]

Same. Never associated it with a brawl like this video. But then again (post?) punk era and maybe more the fans of the period as opposed to what the song is about, maybe? Was this taken from a film or approved band video?

[@markb9419]

great band, great the song, but turn your monitor off and LISTEN old skool. the video is nothing to do with anything.

[@samhain66]

The video is taken from Awaydays which uses the song and to be honest has done more to promote Magazine then anything else in the last 30 years so to answer your post, the video and the film from which was taken have given Magazine a new lease of life with an audience far too young to remember them 1st time around. Magazine and Post Punk in general was the accepted soundtrack of most Football dressers in the North West especially Merseyside in teh late 70s and Kevin Sampson was implicit in having it on the soundtrack. Awaydays is the only movie to have a 100% Post Punk soundtrack with loads of great Stuff from The Mekons, Gang Of Four, I Dalek, Elvis Costello, The Cure and Joy Division amongst others.

[@markb9419]

ok. problem is in the human organism the visual overrides every other sense. so if you want to really get the sheer breath taking wonder of this song forget the video, turn off the screen and just listen. the video really did kill modern music. imho.

[@clintdavies491]

so you actually watch only films with no soundtrack you fukin length. im nearly 50 and saw magazine loads in the early days, joy division et al. unlike you i aint no prima donna, get over yaself just cos you saw/like em. great film, great song, great soundtrack. are you ready???????
