The Church - Almost With You (Video)

[@2visiondigital]

I always felt a privilege to be a fan of the greatest least known band. I would try to see them live when they passed through SF. even went backstage once to hang out.

[@BrianBellia]

I'm transported back to 1982 every time I hear this song. To that Sunday afternoon in April when I first heard it.

[@martinpye798]

Absolutely the best Australian band EVER. This album is just perfection. Ahead of their time, or maybe from another portal. The Blurred Crusade resonates with messages and questions. Some say music is art. The Blurred

[@martinpye798]

...Crusade is the Mona Lisa.

[@publicserviceannouncement1418]

so far

[@davidpuchetti]

AGREE

[@mjscott65]

They were not really Australian. As kilbey and Wilson piper are English. And koppes is of Greek heritage. But yeah, they took their chance down under.

[@robotcitizen101]

@@mjscott65 Well some were born elsewhere but they spent time growing up in Australia and they formed the band in Australia and they got their start and were loved in Australia more than anywhere else and those that members that remain in Australia consider it their home plus they are mostly distinctly Australian in their personas so imho they are Australian; maybe Wilson-Piper not so much. Not many people are "Australian" if being born here is what counts you as Australian. For me it's largely about someone growing up here and from that they have an Australian character/persona. [Speaking as someone from 4-6 generations here]

The Church HAVE TO BE THE GREATEST BAND Australia have ever produced. No question

[@iandawson3171]

Ummm. They had a couple of classic songs. But greatest?

[@rowanparmiter7622]

I like the Church too, but what about Cold Chisel, INXS, AC-DC for starters, Sunnyboys, Australian Crawl and...

Whenever a momentous moment in my life happens I always turn to The Church for comfort… thanks boys! ❤

Great song.

[@justinmastra5959]

Love the bass in this song

[@jonart65]

Best Aussie melodic guitar solo by a long shot

[@caramason56]

A most excellent band and tune 😊❤️🎶🎼

The church and the Angels deserved to be bigger than ACDC

[@mansionaccount6699]

Ah, some cock other people's cock measuring hey. All three are awesome!

[@Stm-ij8wi]

What a beautiful timeless song. So few views but they still play it on the radio.

[@mikeperth8027]

Great Aussie band and still one of my fav's, Love this song as much as when it was released.

[@peterdives9471]

Great aussie band

[@ianbrommeyer3136]

Absolute classic song what an amazing yet very underrated band

[@chuckpaulson9761]

Ahhh...The Church and early R.E.M....college life!

[@petegenova4527]

Same here. Life's Rich Pageant was released when I was a college freshman, then The Church's first three records were re-released. I saw The Church in Tallahassee. Amazing.

[@tattooedgirl1000]

Shit,I didn’t know they were even known in the US

[@PanPeter1966]

I Miss that time

[@traelmate37]

the acoustic lead break is immortal. Thank you for the upload

[@kevinwilliams8784]

Great song great band it's a shame more people don't know of The Church.

[@wesangus6382]

What a song it is a timeless classic that ages like a fine wine . Classic album is the album Blurred Crusaded 1982 . 🎧🎤🎹🎼🇦🇺🇦🇺🎧🎤🎹🎼🇦🇺🇦🇺❤

[@GoodMrDawes]

What a Classic

[@marcosviniciuslinhares3694]

Essa música é simplesmente demais. Esse álbum do The Church é uma obra prima.

[@Cosmos3001]

Much agreed! 10000th of the talent that bands don't have nowadays and considering The Church are still together and going strong! 30th album by now!

[@tealrose3248]

Cosmos3001 why is this not on their own channel, then? A band that was still together and active that recently ought to have all their music on their own channel, not a fan channel. Much appreciated that you are here, since apparently they're not - but they're missing out on revenue here.

[@richardfinlayson1524]

saw the Church play live many times during the 80s, one of the best was at the Venetian room at the Hotel Francis in lonsdale street melb , tiny little place with psychedelic lights on the dance floor,in about 83 or4,loved the venetian room, used to go there all the time.

[@kevinwilliams8784]

You were lucky

[@trevorpiper1132]

Ha Ha so named because of the Venetian blinds on the windows on the front windows of the upstairs band room. Saw so many bands there, The church and Le Hudo Gurus to name a few.

[@goulder72]

Saw them the other night :) still fab

[@kirwan308]

this song has less than 3000 views. a crime really considering the amount of views on songs with not even a 10000th of the talent used in this song

This is the best thing that could have happened to Australia, musically speaking

[@donnascott2415]

The church are brilliant

[@michellearies6]

love oz music , always has been and always will, great songs, very talented singers from time to time, just great and awesome oz bands ......

[@labyrinth5150]

one of my most favorite songs ever! my bands The Bridge and Ampalaya Juice used to cover this and other The Church songs. great band!

[@SimplyRevolting]

Not just an amazing song with great guitar: The creative visual work in the clip was truly something. In the final scene: The moment when the doors are opened and through the mist is the armoured figure: And as he lifts his sword, the light magically produces those swords/crosses in its reflection.... (Before digital technology).
