Sonic Youth - JC

[@Peaches_H_Nyce]

"Your walking through my heart once more, don't forget to close the door.." angry teenage chills😜

[@MSL_043]

I literally just hit this song to hear those lyrics!!! Brings me back to a sad time but a good time; a way better time than now.... Sonic Youth still rocks in 2021!

[@neo2190]

It’s a song about a friend who got killed during a robbery gone wrong. The robber kept scaring him with the gun

[@dianarchy23]

I can never get enough of this no matter how often I hear it.

[@jimjiminyjaroo300]

It’s a wonderful song.

[@jeromed2]

This drum beat will never die.

[@cf4512]

"a sunkissed boy who gave no thought - to what he'd made while others saved" . line always gets me right in the feelers.. reminds me of a friend who died much to soon

[@leegoode4868]

This album got me through my teenage life

[@chrismcfarland9956]

Such a perfect display of what kim and sc can do to make the heart open up. One of their best.

1991 Joe Cole, an American roadie for Black Flag and Rollins Band, was shot and killed in an armed robbery. Cole and Henry Rollins had attended a Hole concert at the Whisky a Go Go and were returning home after having stopped at an all-night grocery store when two armed men - described as black in their 20s - approached them demanding money. Angry that Rollins and Cole had only $50 between them, the gunmen ordered the two men to go inside their house for more cash. Rollins entered at gunpoint. However, Cole was killed outside after being shot in the face at close range while Rollins escaped out the back door and alerted the police. The murder remains unsolved. Cole is remembered in the Sonic Youth songs ‘JC’ and ‘100%’ on their album Dirty.Dedicated to the memory of Joe Cole. Nothing can kill your spirit, Joe. Lyrics: Always cost a pair of hose - spaces pressed together ..

[@chrismcfarland9956]

Thank you for saying his name... Rip

[@cal3blipa]

I remember seeing this in Unsolved Mysteries. Also about a rumor that they were being watched because they thought they were famous and had money. Tragic story played a huge part in SST crew and sonic youth

[@PaxMundi118]

Prayers for Cole's beautiful soul

[@mirjadoon4683]

Gets better every-time its replayed

[@JeffreySykes]

26 years and counting!

[@afauxican_american]

Actual poetry.

[@jimjiminyjaroo300]

Innit

[@darko5126]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@BJORKAHOLIC]

RIP Joe Cole

[@mitsu4g63t]

Hypnotizing---creepy lsd memories of my youth--jammed it in the car the other day had a flashback that i enjoyed!

[@eriesaldali2763]

Rest In Peace, Joe Cole. 🖤

[@roiybenkel682]

[Kim] Always cost a pair of hose - spaces pressed together rose Arms around each others back - you know that I liked you Jack And all the other boys who pose - a silent dance in the woods In the suburb light is shown - another can of Coca Cola Don't you ever call me Mom - freckled dancing in the plan And air so thin it weighs a ton - you can see as far as fun You're nothing but a history - a second here and then you're gone Quicksand, quicksand all around - turn the corner just beyond The shadows move and change the groove - and something tells me not to brood Turning room and that's a show - you're walking through my heart once more Don't forget to close the door - I'm not certain of what you found All the men want a charming whore - like a crown fortunes Sunny skies and angels bleed - falling down upon my knees That wasn't how it's supposed to be - clear blue eyes, justice tries The wind is busy blowing dizzy - you're dreams were shot like a star Exploding in a mind somewhere - doing something on a dare Pulling a trigger like breathing air - a sunkissed boy that gave no thought To what he'd made while others sake Ocean spreads a candle sand - it's dripping in my hand, you're dead Little brother reminding me - the moments tick forever true You can see as far as him - don't you know the shape I'm in You're walking through my heart once more - don't forget to close the door

[@iheartmyroku]

Those aren't... at all the lyrics

[@EMS01119]

Thanks for the lyrics

[@shoegazer93]

Epic album. Dirty (1992)

[@heybye9343]

So glad i found this band so much talent

[@miyadonelly8286]

sometimes i forget, cause little bands are easier to listen to.. but sometimes i remember SY and im blown away by the power of it

[@miyadonelly8286]

theres something more historical than history itself on sonic youth songs

[@Puravida80s]

Goosebumps

[@jake7409]

Thats for sure x

[@oscarvilarino2028]

One of the best SY songs ever

[@inspecterwilson]

so glad I got to see them live in my youth which transformed the rest of my life! Masterpiece of an Album!

[@calvezphilippe874]

Un passage léger, défonçant.Celui qui trouble, électrise.Et en musique, maestro. Explorons. Nos symphonies indéfinies. L'espace du souffle. Une voix. Sous stridence d'harmonies à déchirer le chaos. La symbiose. Juste écouter en larmes de fond, les lucioles. La rage qui tape du pied, dodeline de la tête tellement imparfaite.

[@MrJaskulski]

Most beautiful songs of all time.

[@johnlawton2806]

a close friend for the last 26 years

[@ThePaperSun]

Still kills me to hear this.

[@bowiefreak1]

First 100 seconds are perhaps the most significant and import contributions to the history of rock music.

[@coreyrenstrom]

Another can of coca cola

[@ratius1979]

Best song on the album. Xxxx Stunning comp

[@philipvandenberk]

will never forget this band !! so many good memories now more then 25y ago lol

[@louisepara8823]

Fucking genius !!!!!

[@Jack_nnn_]

1:55 hits so hard i could cry

[@majortom8990]

Best song, except I Dream I Dreamed, of course. But any time you see heat waves off the street, this is the jam. XO

[@christomlin4707]

One of my favourite Sonic youth songs, I'm an ex addict and if I hadn't of made it through...I don't know how the people that loved me would have felt these are beautiful lyrics

[@sjorsberends6393]

Just came from Hüsker Dü - don’t want to know if you are lonely. Nice follow up!

[@sookmajoaby]

great lyrics

[@meaganhaley2625]

I still love them

[@jasonhuntley4203]

they used this in the kurt cobain vigil "the stupid club" i was looking for this for like a week luckily somebody was nice enough to tell me

[@mitsu4g63t]

butch vig worked wonders on this lp

[@inphanta]

I actually disagree. I thought his production on this album was too heavy handed and not really suited to Sonic Youth's abstraction. This was definitely one of the better songs, however.

[@TheXitone]

i know you're supposed to say that but i love this album .

[@nicepolice12]

inphanta i love it when someone can state their opinion on something and not be rude about it. bravo to you

[@inphanta]

Eek a Mouse 🙄

[@afauxican_american]

It works great on songs like "100%" though.

[@JeffreySykes]

She is the best.

[@otterdonnelly9959]

For all these years I pretended my favorite Sonic Youth song was about Jackie Chan. Now after looking into Kim's autobiography I see it was for Joe :( it's gonna hit different now

[@gnunzia]

Masterpiece, cult album ❤

[@Konepig]

One of my favourite Sonic Youth songs 20+ years later.

[@jasonhuntley4203]

this is very depressing and i like it they used it for the kurt cobain documentary "the 27 club" that's where i first heard it at first i thought it was bikini kill so i asked someone and they got back to me i really like this who is jc cole?

[@ironduke2000]

He was Henry Rollins's best friend, a roadie for Black Flag back in the day; Sonic Youth got to know him when they were signed to SST. He was shot and killed in the course of a robbery in Venice, California, in December 1991. Henry Rollins fled and survived.

[@Peaches_H_Nyce]

@@ironduke2000 never knew that thx!

[@jlm8001]

Best song ever

[@oscaralvarez2571]

in 1992 this album was badly criticized, it was the most commercial of s.y. almost sacrilege, as much as goo..unbelievable how radical we were in the 90s

[@Snow39636]

Amazing song..

[@nothingman-]

Sounds like post rock to me,amazing song

[@sensationalfix]

Eternal

[@5hanesBoard]

Jesus Christ this sounds so good.

[@melifever]

their lyrics are so good even though I don't understand all

[@katiasoleil7043]

Might be my favorite SY song…

[@ernestotoccalino4683]

Dedicada por Kim,a su gran amigo Joe Cole,absurdamente asesinado en 1994.

[@holdencaulfield4230]

Joe Cole was shot and killed in 1991 not '94

[@Koensgen]

[@MyDancer1996]

This is the sound of never having a girlfriend... a walking shadow... forever

[@j3any3s]

Wedding song

[@bvlgvs]

Summer 1999

[@stevenroby1667]

she sounds like Niagara from destroy all monsters/dark carnival they must be an influence of there's

[@j3any3s]

I would see her for years when I lived in Detroit. That's quite a compliment for both.

[@meaganhaley7268]

Met them

[@themiln]

woo doong woo doong!

[@dragmio]

Sound of the "old SY" on an album a bit too much steeped in it's era for my taste.

[@leaabril5370]

Always cost a pair of hose Spaces pressed together, Rose Arms around each other's back You know that I liked you Jack And all the other boys who pose A silent dance in the woods In the suburb light is shown Another can of Coca -Cola Don't you ever call me Mom Freckled dancing in the plan And air so thin it weighs a ton As far as you can see is fun You're nothing but a history A second here and then you're gone Quicksand, quicksand all around Turn the corner just beyond The shadows move and change the groove And something tells me not to brood Turning room and that's a show You're walking through my heart once more Don't forget to close the door I'm not certain of what you found All the men want a charming whore Like a crown with all jewels Sunny skies and angels bleed Falling down upon my knees That wasn't how it's supposed to be Clear blue eyes, justice tries The wind is busy blowing dizzy Your dreams were shot like a star Exploding in a mind somewhere Doing something on a dare Pulling a trigger like breathing air A sunkissed boy that gave no thought To what he'd made while others saved Ocean spreads a careless sand It's dripping in my hand, you're dead Little brother reminding me The moments tick forever true You can see as far as sin Don't you know the shape I'm in? You're walking through my heart once more Don't forget to close the door

[@hawhawjepers8274]

JC made me see lol Now if I leave that people will say "cool I believe that he is talking about Jesus" oh yeah must be" so I'll say NO I was referring to a real person not a diluted fantasy to Mark the change of an age yes it's cool but wrong. I was speaking of a woman

[@BlackBugDefiance]

Wow, did Arlandria form Foo Fighters was inspired by this?

[@JohnCleary-d4i]

A Satan devotion

[@jasonhuntley4203]

what is this song about? seems to me to be about suicide they had this song in the kurt cobain 27 club video at his vigil in seattle in 1994

[@iluvugoldenblue]

it's about a friend of the band named joe cole who was murdered. 100% was also about him. you can see him dancing with kim in the my friend goo video.

[@CluckyBaby]

Another can of coca cola
