[@synthmalicious7541]

This might be one of the best songs ever written. It occupies a space and feeling like no other. The way everything sounds is so perfect too. It’s really distant but up close and personal.

[@brigwood7658]

So true. I remember listening to this abut 10 years ago and suddenly realising ... this is one of best songs ever written. It's kind of perfect

[@Toni_F]

So sad to hear the news just now 😢

[@MsAlien911]

This tune is a mood. Lovely. Good memories. RIP Martin.

[@queenswarthamaniharrington992]

The earnest nerd of NZ music. I remember seeing them at the Windsor Castle on Parnell Rd in the mid eighties - the front corner bar where you'd be hard pressed to fit in 100 punters. Very intimate. He was wearing fairy boots with spiral toes that had little bells on the tip of the spirals. A member of the audience said, conversationally, nice shoes Martin. He said thank you.

[@itsjustme9354]

Love it!

[@stubroon]

Most people (outside NZ) don't know anything about Martin Phillips. Those who do are grateful for his legacy. RIP

[@No1SamSmithHater]

The chills and the other Dunedin sound bands are what the bands from my city Brisbane tried to sound like. An immense, unrivalled talent

[@richardmcgrath61]

Thanks to the Chills for some great memories... I remember seeing them in the Empire Tavern in Dunedin in 1984, they were a wonderful live band. Martin Phillips was a genius songwriter.

[@SusanProcter-r7o]

I was there that night too Richard… just a small audience we were, but a fab first night with the Chills, many to follow at the Cook, the Ori, the Windsor castle, Dingwalls and Dive

[@John-n9f1o]

Gone but never forgotten.

[@jollyjetsetter]

I'm utterly distraught by the sad passing of Martin Phillips. 36 years of listening pleasure for me, and not a single second wasted. I'm not surprised I was utterly starstruck when I met him on 2 occasions. R.I.P. Martin, your musical talent was just immeasurable!

[@seekah1]

I get the starstruck thing, he had the same effect on me. Such an immense talent few will get to hear.

[@ianwild66]

Walking up to the 🍍 skyline while at varsity in Dunedin.With this on a C60 tape istening on my walkmen. R.I.P Martin Phillips.A musical genius.

[@chandeliercat516]

This song literally makes me feel like walking deep into the woods while pondering about things for quite a while. The progression at the beginning still gives me a complex vibe of melancholy, grief, anxiety and calmness that kinda keep prevailing over the feeling of desperation caused by the lyrics just 'til the end of the track... Amazing one.

[@theringmaster886]

This song came out before I was born but it hits pretty hard

[@TheBadger3]

RIP Martin - a true NZ legend

[@Gio-qb7uc]

I want to stop my crying, RIP, thank you for these haunting melodies. Forever missed.

[@SharkWhosFondOfBond]

I assume you're talking about Martin Phillips, but just to make sure, because there was another band member in the group called Martin Kean

SHES LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST

[@flamencoprof]

I like that the bands around this time used a lot of exterior or domestic backdrops rather than staged/stage settings. Maybe it was a budget rather than artistic choice, but vids like Husband House or Anything Could Happen or Cactus Cat are so unashamedly of their place and time.

[@econogate]

always felt or thought this one had a big influence on slowdive probably my overall favorite track sounds more moody and sparse i think they might have even covered it to be honest i forget as usual he's about a decade ahead of his time in some sense, this being from 1982 "alternative" didn't even exist yet most people were doing new wave around this time not so much traditional power pop, or even as the term was later used "shoegaze" there were others operating around the same time with a similar sound Dif Juz and Felt that i also liked, but these groups were not part of the popular music scene per say in terms of the media machine, they were very much operating in a kind of underground scene of course the moody sound has it's roots in joy division as well

[@econogate]

i forgot to add, was similar to REM as well, recorded by Chris Knox, definitely gothic as well.

[@Xinaseason]

RIP Martin. I want to stop my crying.

Any one know of similar bands not from New Zealand necessarily? Or similar sounding songs by different bands? I love this so much and would like to make a mixtape x

[@timwenburg3393]

Natalie Rodriguez The Shocking Pinks, as a suggestion see if your local library has THE ALL MUSIC GUIDE TO ROCK N ROLL. They have a section on New Zealand bands in it.

[@markfritzel5993]

Hi Natalie I know this was five years ago but this was part of a genre called "The Dunedin Sound." In addition to The Chills, The Bats, The Verlaines, and The Clean are groups that had a lot of great songs in this genre. Check out "Block of Wood" by the Bats and "Anything Could Happen" by The Clean. My friend also made a really good mix of New Zealand bands of this genre and I'd be happy to mail you a copy of it on cd if you message me. One American band recently that made a record like this was from Oakland and they're called Legs. Another more recent group is Veronica Falls.
