The Fall - Living Too Late

[@Sacha1967]

I’m in my 50s and only now just scratching the surface of The Fall. So much to admire.so much to love. RIP all of the fallen. ❤️

[@hilaryjohnson2386]

One of my favourite 200 Fall songs.

[@bengrant3288]

Rest in peace mark e Smith. You changed my life as you changed so many of our lives. You’d hate this but it’s true. You are hip priest. Roman totale lives on!

[@arbogastk310]

you are still with us mark

[@fabiodoca3284]

Literally

[@pen2199]

What can you say

[@adezone866]

Not sure if I got the intended meaning of the lyrics but the words did evoke memories of my dear departed father... A 1920s Great Depression child who saw much poverty, war and human suffering, yet he still always had time for and dedication to his family. Always a trier, rarely gave up on any thing except, in the last few years of his life, as he surrendered to the finality of death, he would often say, "Ive lived too long." He had lost the will to go on after losing his wife (my mother) years earlier and the children were all grown adults. So sad to see him end this way. Anyway, thanks for the song, Mark E. Smith and band (The Fall). Full of melancholia but with a gentle acceptance of the inevitable.

[@MrFrolunda]

Only one man could write such a brilliant song......R.I.P. Mark

Crow's feet are ingrained on my face And I'm living too late Try to wash the black off my face, but it's ingrained And I'm living too late Sleepless, in-control spleen Agreed ace family Must have stump tripod in the genes I'm immune to things In my dreams I saw through the trees O'er the poison river locks Talk treacherous would beat But still my heart, it is rock Finally going through old parasite gate But there's a 24-hour clock watch And I'm living too late Think Sometimes life is like a new bar Plastic seats, beer below par Food with no taste, music grates I'm living too late Once talking was my favourite while But now I know a conversation's end Before it's done Maybe I'm living too long The daylight: I see trouble on the streets Fearing catastrophe to meet Walk down the devil's boulevard But still, my heart is hard... They say them cellars were't even black But I know they're wrong Think it's one Been Living Too Long Eyes like two TV screens Continual open Feel no pain I live again I'm super sad sweet sad Line is cracked Vision gone I'm living too long)

[@ianwallis7956]

We'll never hear music like this again.

[@leslieschmidt4744]

too right about that

[@ELWaller0388]

Whatever the music sounds like it will never mean as much to people as this again. There's no chance in this culture

[@simonblossom]

Never lived long enough. RIP Mark,thank you for the memories you have left us.

[@68majortom]

Never lived long enough but wrote enough Songs to last 3 lifetimes

[@carpog]

Surely the best song ever written about a midlife crisis.

[@orourkedamusic]

"Sometimes life is like a new bar, plastic seats beer below par." Most Mark Edward Smith line ever.

[@Shorter-name]

It catches the ear instantly

[@dermot51]

One chord all the way through, no fuckin about.

[@jfjgkgkj]

+dermot51 fuckin with robots

[@rollinred251]

dermot51 2 Chords!

[@craigbutler9200]

Living Too Late, brilliant ....

[@dupes69]

Bass line

[@martinmcfred6758]

At 1.40 it changes slightly but could be keys.

[@johnnydeutschemark3620]

Seemingly, another 'off the cuff remark' and song-ramble, but the production is impeccable. A true gem of a tune.

[@AndrewWells]

This is my favorite song of ALL TIME!!!

[@cliveabbey8587]

This track is so Cool it just coast's along with a groove all it's own impeccably.

[@lisaaltavilla4095]

You were my teenage ,slang king , my musical everything , the one and only hip priest , xxxx💗

[@user-dr6rt1ji3l]

made it out in time. livin just right. shivers, the guy still gives me goosebumps.

[@user-ks3mk9kq4l]

Great music. Encapsulates the attitude and ethos of 80s Manchester.

[@arminius4406]

Gutted, really gutted. RIP Mark.....Prestwich, Manchester, Englands finest.

[@Darrenski]

Mark yes, prestwich a most definite no. Sorry but truth hurts. Even 'zoe' from Wythenshaw showed me how even that place is better. now as THAT anything to be proud of? Can we just leave it as Salford, Lancashire like mark did please, cause I personally never left Lancashire, not even when Manchester became greater.

[@fernmatic]

Love this Man, his art , his muse , his brilliance.

[@justincurrie3]

Not often you hear the great man sound SAD. Beautiful.

[@PeppyOoze]

my first fave Fall track when I got into them in May or June of 1998 while a student in Salford.

[@ARMINIUS44]

Should be our national anthem

[@traceyjane4735]

Does it get any better than this ?

[@mjjames2442]

I can totally hear that. Speed it up, French it up and fancy it up a bit... Could easily have been an influence on Stereolab.

[@db0800]

I have the 12'' ep. Much dirtier version than this.
