The Mission - Marian (Sheffield 2017)

[@robdeighton5000]

Absolutely goose bump inducing to hear this played properly for the first time since July 1985.It's the twelve string and bass that does it!! Just a shame the public wont get want they want with the co writer singing it!

[@daniellecundiff5272]

Thank you for sharing this. I have always wanted to hear Wayne sing Marian. What a treat!

[@bigscience3422]

I simply find it very sad to read all these comments. Both Andrew and Wayne had their place in history - but it is just that - ancient history - some thirty odd years later we should celebrate what they 'were' - not what they 'are'. God bless them both and remember......some girls wander - by mistake

[@anniemacdonald3907]

Being that these are original members of Sisters of Mercy that originally recorded this actual song I don't see a problem!

[@2112jonr]

Agreed. Two thirds to be precise. What's left of the SoM is only one third, and his voice is sadly shot to hell.

I've seen the show at the WGT and I love this Version so much. Live is the sound so genius

[@Yalishenderful]

Anyone can play whatever music they want live, no need to acquire any rights as far as I know. In this case, those guys even wrote the music so there is not even a moral problem with that. This version is not bad actually... A great song it is indeed.

[@alainbonnardel8692]

There is no debate to have! The original version of the Sisters is obviously the only one that is worth it. On the other hand, between this version and what Andrew is currently producing on stage, there is also no debate. The Sisters are dead and Andrew kills them a bit more with each of his pitiful performances on stage. Thanks to Wayne for keeping the faith.

[@charlesstiesmeyer1494]

..........agree 1000 percent, if that's even mathematically possible..........I have been a Sisters follower since they were only a minor footnote, and honestly, I discarded them because the vast majority of their stuff was complete crap..........then BANG, Flood land, Vision Thing, etc..........somehow they found killer hooks, which matched perfectly to Andrew's voice (which definitely needs the perfect song), then, a nose dive...........live concerts are hopeless, poorly mixed, with all reason for being long gone.........also, have always felt that Sisters, particularly Andrew, had very bad pitch problems with about all of their songs..........slow Lucretia extended down, and you will be blown away..........same with Marian...............

[@DepressedCapitalist]

Well said my friend. At this stage of the Sisters' live show, I have no doubt that Eldrtich wants to bury once a for all what greatness the sisters once had. That or he is a professional Cheat artist who takes pleasure in robbing people of their money when they pay to see that calamity called Meth experience! Oh well... The Sisters and all their greatness still live in our memories and records.

[@francescxavierbulto9848]

Alain Bonnardel with out a doubt

[@lawman1965]

Great tune. Missed the German verse, loved that in the original. I really do need to see these guys again. Relive my youth.

[@karynsheer4304]

Wayne Hussey did an excellent version!!!

[@LMB222]

This isn't a "cover" - Wayne Hussey is credited along Andrew Eldritch on the original album. I guess he wrote the music and received the rights to lyrics after his "divorce" with The Sisters of Mercy. BTW original music for Marian was the one later used for Black Planet.

[@gavinbromley5998]

I believe the original music for lyrics which contained a reference to 'Marian' was actually First And Last And Always

[@2112jonr]

@@gavinbromley5998 Correct, the music for which I believe Wayne pretty much wrote, given Andrew's self inflicted state at the time.

[@Andrew-bl2vo]

Great to see they still have a following in 2018, and are still performing 👍

[@2112jonr]

Yep, they're still exceptionally good live, and well followed, despite the bad sound on this video. So good, that after attending this gig (and others in the UK), I decided to spend my cash and holidays following them around Europe in November of the same year. Not many bands warrant that. No regrets and I can't wait to see 'em again, money and time well spent.

[@jeanproctor3663]

I actually really like this version, but then I like both Evie and Wayne's voices. I also like The Sisters version too. To me, both sets of vocals add something to the track that the others don't. And I'm not even sitting on the fence or playing Devil's advocate because I like both The Mission and The Sisters Of Mercy, just like I like Duran Duran and Cinderella. I think what I'm trying to say is that everyone has their own opinion. There's no point in calling someone else a dick-head or bell end because they don't agree with someone else's opinion - it's part of what makes us human, our differences and yes, our similarities. Some people might agree with my view, some might not, but it's all a part of what makes us who we are and what we are. Folk'll have to just agree to disagree. :)

[@2112jonr]

Congratulations, that's the most sensible statement possibly anyone's made on the subject :) Personally, I don't care if Taylor Swift nails it, so long as it sounds good, that's fine by me.

[@marioh.3633]

Quite a few sisters version of mission songs exist too, Hussey/Eldritch wrote/worked on them before they split.

[@stephenrice5959]

I met the two protagonists on many occasions.i have to say I love them both in in their way.I still think Andrews voice is better on this track

[@doughowser]

No matter who wrote it, it's a som song designed to work with that band, meant to be gothic/ dark song, this a pop style version , good but too light

[@jensb.5897]

As always everything is a matter of taste; in my eyes just a different and not bad interpretation. And since Wayne is co-author of the song, it fits for me even more. But I like his non-live piano version even better and yes, that ( in my eyes ) can easily compete with Eldritch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foTaeoB7ds6cfKc

[@whssy]

@@2112jonr Wayne had the whole track on tape without vocals and it was the only song Andrew was able to put down a lyric for in a single day, despite his original comment when he first heard it of "don't like this it sounds like Siouxsie and the Banshees". The vocal is such a tiny part of this track that it's essentially a Hussey solo composition. It would sound great as an instrumental.

La maravillosa canción de aquel vinilo del 85 (Donde Hussey de Mission era el guitarra por cierto y Craig el bajista) solo sigue allí y ya no volverá jamás. Hussey le da mil patadas a Eldritch hoy día. Para que la escuches kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHSymph7ndydjtk y no te pongo la del concierto de Barcelona, porque aún siento vergüenza de lo que viví allí.

[@luxvox9239]

Saw them in, I believe in 1988 and a girl in the audience received the bottle from Wayne, but when leaving the venue she was right in front of me walking down the street and she dropped the bottle. Why I didn't pick up a piece I'll never know.

Not shocking, but musically this is superior to any non-Hussey/SOM version of this song. Vocally? That’s another story.

[@stevenhodgson834]

I like this, but IMO the original has more emotion to it - it is, after all, a love song and the lyricist singing the original will tend to have more invested in their vocal. By the way, Craig's got a good voice. His solo album ("Demon King") is very good, but his vocals are a bit buried in the mix.

And the guy that wrote the guitar will play it better. So, that's what happens when the band splits up. Oh well.
