2023. One of my top five KZbin videos of all. Absolute perfection.

[@SeanRupertKent]

I'm glad im not the only one here crying. This is so fucking beautiful. It's all love.

[@nyannyannyan3529]

It's all love indeed

[@MikhThunderbird]

are you blue haired girl?

[@riquizable]

James Joyce + Syd Barrett + Slowdive... this is heaven for me

[@Zeek764]

I’ve had their albums since the 1990s. Seeing them live on stage like this takes my appreciation of them to a whole new level. And now this song, it’s absolutely celestial

[@Destiny93134]

Saw them last night.a beautiful experience.

[@deanburgess4030]

How on Earth have I only just discovered this band???

[@tristanyoung1247]

You slept in the 90 s.

[@arcacoma3524]

Listening to too much radio probably

[@carlpop2324]

You were too busy gazing at something other than your shoes.

[@georgestyl224]

The drummer gave everything he ever had in this song!!

[@aaronmichael1201]

One of the greatest live performances I think I have ever seen. I can't imagine how amazing it must have been for the audience to actually be there at Pitchfork in 2014. And, side note. I love the fact that Rachel disappears once her vocal parts are over, but then when we see her again, she's happily filming the audience. I want to thank Gregg Araki for getting me into Slowdive. Obviously, I was very young when they first came out, too young to truly appreciate this genre of music, but thanks to the discovery of Araki's films, and his amazing taste in music, I have gotten the chance to discover this true diamond of a band.

[@D3r3k2323]

It seems like every time I see them it's as good as this. amazing band

[@cl8804]

Yikes! You're missing out on some blue-haired girl action, then! That version is vastly superior.

[@IUKC]

What a coincidence! I only learned about The Doom Generation and Arraki whilst reading about Pygmalion today!

[@jackjude]

Never heard of this director, what of his films feature Slowdive?

[@peteowen3539]

@@cl8804 nope

[@mwpchelsea]

I would say this is the best version of Slowdive's Golden Hair. Superb musical arrangement and quality

[@jarrodlawrence9971]

I slightly prefer the "Best Kept Secret" version.

[@manco828]

Yeah the "Best Kept Secret" version is the best Golden Hair ever.

I've left my body with this song. I love you Slowdive.

Isn't it something? You can believe it all. This song makes me believe in God.

probably my 20th time watching this

[@michaelgass4321]

good job, this live version gives me goosebumps. it is hypnotic. if you consider yourself a normal girl, are there other slowdive songs i can recommend to you?? im a huge SD fan!

[@jeanmaurolemos]

always will love them and their songs!

No goosebumps = no human.

[@michaelgass4321]

guys...come on...this is truely epic. it blows my mind that slowdive doesnt have more fans.

[@christopherhau3974]

Michael Gass Now they have plenty!

[@vash47]

I saw them live on saturday in Poland and they also closed with this song. I had tears of joy. It's even better live

[@joelatino3748]

Same here. Just an absolutely overwhelming experience 🥲

[@cristiangallegos9647]

Simon's drumming is sublime. My favorite set that weekend for sure

[@weezadam]

One of the happiest days of my young life was this year when Slowdive not only reunited, but also decided to include this song into their live repertoire. Mind you, they had never performed this song live prior to 2014 (as far as the records show). Good God is this song so utterly breathtaking. This absolutely is my favorite live number of theirs and to me was the show-stopper for this years' tour. I can only hope they expand on this sound and perhaps record another studio album soon!

[@patrickmartens404]

...and they did!!!!

[@jlynn647]

Saw them live twice and they played this song both times❤

[@elitestarquake3597]

Don’t forget it’s a Syd Barrett song, but Slowdive have made it their own. I think Syd would like it.

[@joelatino3748]

I watched them play this a few weeks ago. As good as the videos of them doing this live are, they don't even come close to the live experience. Absolutely mind blowing.

[@LLI-cw1os]

You close the eyes,hear the music,breath slowly and loose all anger and pain. Power of Slowdive

[@hadiysyakir1979]

Thanks guys for helping me in coping with my pain, failure, mistakes. This song let it all flows out and makes me think. Thanks Slowdive.

[@Neo-qp8iy]

Feel like living in an endless dream while listening to this band

[@mremppu94]

shivers... shivers everywhere feels... feels everywhere...

just wanted to write that down while i see urs so yea shivers

[@sillypengie2052]

I'm wearing shorts right now. Both my legs are comepletely covered in goosebumps.

[@lensherwin]

This is just astounding piece of music the guitars and that drummer is something else

[@ALeaud]

Why do I always want to cry when I hear this band? I don't understand.

[@AngelRDiaz-ie6ww]

Maybe because like alot of people this awesome band through there great phenomonal sound are able too tap into people emotions and moods and connect with them (: But me its not just that they get me teared eyed but this the very first band I heard besides maybe Pink Floyd that has created a very unique and awesomely powerful yet incrediabley emotional moody ambient or elemental sound or harmonics (: There sooo good at it that there sound captures natures elements or forces and make it sound like there speaking or sing too you (: for example for me it sounded like the ocean was singing too me (: Slowdive really made that vision nto a reality through there perfect ambient sound (: A very great band with awesome great songs even better than lush or any other shoegaze band (: The very best (:

[@luanawantsacake]

you are not alone.

[@kkkzorro]

Agree with you, Angel, your description goes to the root, rare find for me..I'm inspired by their sound in a deep way, a way that only PF had managed. Your parallel with the ocean singing to you made me smile .. I dedicate Cowboy Junkie's "Blue Moon" to you!

[@AngelRDiaz-ie6ww]

Davide Garda Thanks (: Slowdives sound too me I never heard anything that sound like that ever not even remotely (: There a great band (: I don't have enough words too describe them (: There that great (:

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Because they are so unbearably dull. So unbelievably tedious. Just awful. I was curious to see if it was the same song Syd Barret recorded. They completely butchered what was a truly haunting piece of music. Cry over that.

[@petehill8885]

this band are great to have on a festival lineup, they produce a unique sonic experience for the festival goer and organiser.

[@jjorgeegrojj]

Viva Syd Barrett!

I have listened to quite a few of these videos with Golden Hair but this version to me is by far the best one. :)

+AZROF The first 2 minutes are cover of the Syd song, the rest is 100% Slowdive.

Incredible slow build to an amazing sonic crescendo; simply amazing. How on earth this band passed me by in the 90's I'll never know 🤔👍🏻

Because they are an under-the-radar band. Then along came Nirvana's huge shadow.

[@shelby5429]

Lean out your window, golden hair I heard you singing in the midnight air My book is closed, I read no more Watching the fire dance, on the floor I've left my book, I've left my room For I heard you singing through the gloom Singing and singing, a merry air Lean out the window, golden hair...

[@philipobando]

I die every time.

[@Ahzpayne]

I never thought anyone but Syd could do this song justice. I stand corrected. And they made it their own instead of simply painting by numbers. My entire day has been improved because I took the 8:24 to see if it was THAT golden hair. And it was. Yet it wasn't.

[@manco828]

You realize that Slowdive recorded their own 'Golden Hair' back in 1991?
