Back Door - Clan Of Xymox

For more info on The Rose Phantom visit: therosephantom.com/
This is a music video creation of "Back Door" - Shot in October of 2005 in the back of my mother's hair salon (Hair Studio 48) at the old garage door (the "Back Door"). Check out the upload w/ commentary (on this channel) where I talk about making this video. Ronny is also a big fan of this fan video, and during a COX gig I was attending (March 2020) he invited me on stage to sing "Back Door" with him (that video can be found on my IG: @therosephantom). -TRP
*Disclaimer - This has nothing to do with the real members of Clan of Xymox! The music is Clan of Xymox, but the video is not. This is simply a fan video. I do not own the copyrights to "Back Door".

[@hippiefreak66]

I love how this was shot in 2005 and has a pure 1980s look and vibe.

[@functio1]

Apart from those boots...

[@chaosstar_ur]

Yes what a great time 🖤

[@davegunstone]

Clan of Xymox, one of the most under rated bands ever. They should have been huge. Love this track almost as much as A DAY.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

My 2 favorites by them.

[@Styxhexenhammer666]

tfw someone not associated with a band makes a music video better than 99% of what's on TV today. Bravo, my friend.

[@TheRosePhantom]

Thank you. Please check out my own music & music videos.

[@Styxhexenhammer666]

Your musical mixes are pure win. You have my bow.

[@TheRosePhantom]

+Styxhexenhammer666 Thanks! Stay tuned for new music! Check out therosephantom.com for all my musical works.

[@Styxhexenhammer666]

Hell yes.

[@vsander09]

That's funny. It keeps the spirit of the music and time period very well but anyone who grew up in the 80s knows this is not cheesy enough to actually be from that time. A real 80s video would have been much worse. Lol

[@WS102]

Clan of Xymox. One of the best bands ever. They are from Holland and currently play a lot throughout Europe and South America. The last time I remember them playing in the US was back in 86 or 87. Old school cool.

[@1993elephant]

When you are happy you enjoy the music. When you are sad you understand the lyrics!

[@christopherluvsaidan67]

Yes. Indeed. I feel this everyday. I have been listening to this group since I was 13 14ish

[@ArkanhellMagno]

​@@christopherluvsaidan67Since 1314?! Wow You are old! 😂 (And the band too)

[@user-hn2bo2pn7t]

I agree 👍

[@BaronAnselme69]

I am shrouded in darkness I crouched in wasted years I lingered, I can't get through Dazzled between far and near Like the elegies relate to days beyond recall I lingered in many memories And again I stumbled through the back door Seeing you, a misty shadow I feel my repression, I can't go on And again I am falling backwards Tomorrow I will be here again A silent mute of a black desire Tomorrow I will be here again Tomorrow I'll be here again Be here again, be here again I am tired of tears and laughter Or what may come hereafter I am weary of days and hours Desires, dreams and powers Although it makes me weep It is you, I wanna keep

Thankyou

Always great to see lyrics. Thank you

[@areyoutheregoditsmedave]

these lyrics are great even without the music, which is rare

Nope...this video has nothing to do with the real members of Clan Of Xymox! This is me in the video. Thanks for watching!

Holy shit, I need to go to sleep but I can't stop listening to this song...

[@jefflibby4784]

Definitely one of the best goth albums ever "medusa"

[@jesusyt1970]

This band exists way before you start calling everything goth...

[@vulkantanz]

Yes

[@DZ5G]

Hell yeah !! Saw them in concert New Orleans 1990 NOV Las Vegas 2018 NOV

[@jefflibby4784]

@@DZ5G the new Orleans show must've been great. I lived in Germany from '83 to '86 and saw them in Munich. I really miss dark dance muzik.

[@antiscyllisneocht5669]

why?

[@debralarue2596]

One of the most perfect gothic songs ever written. If not THE BEST.

[@belakovacs1061]

One of the best songs, ever written.

[@Materva-hv6sz]

This song is WAY ahead of its time. I can't believe it took me so long to discover this band.

[@rerat8485new4]

I have came to the conclusion that it is impossible to get tired of this song.

[@belalugosiresurrected5744]

True haha

Bravo,my feelings exactly, I was a teen,(sigh)

[@veperpaunmapp]

so true

I hope my neighbor has reached the same conclusion.

[@dystopian2153]

[@wilgants196]

Perfecto! 25 years my favorite

[@DESS0009]

I have this masterpiece on vinyl! # 1 best 80's of all my entire collection

[@MrScubajools]

Kensington Market, 1987. So sad when the acid house smilies started taking over. Proper creative class. Medusa and Clan Of Xymox right up with there with First and Last And Always and the original Temple Of Love 12 inch. Back then I never heard anyone talking about dark wave or coldwave or indeed any wave other than new, which was a term mostly reserved for the flock of seagulls and human league. Back then we were more concerned with the message than the label. In the 34 years since, I have introduced a few to this band; Neither I nor they have ever met anyone else who has ever heard of them. And that, my fellow Clannies, is another awesome thing about them.

[@smithsisolation12]

Klassiker. So viele Emotionen. Danke Holland für diese Musikgötter

[@kendavid891]

True masterpiece from goth forefathers the great Xymox, My sis had this on cassette in 87,then I got it on cd,timeless

[@leschunck3637]

Incredible how I get emotional with this song. If one day I went to a new World and I could take certain things, certain memories and I was allowed only one song, this would be Back Door. This song is of an indescribable depth; there are many layers that overlap and produce a mixture of sadness, melancholy, but with a promise of something good, soft. What a great work of art Xymox left for the world and for new generations.

[@ianbaird3084]

Yes forever

[@corinnenicolas5949]

My favorite song, incredible❤❤❤

[@magorzatapaszkowska2663]

Great band.My favorite song!

[@Oseanacoceanblue]

I love it It reminds me of all things I've left behind And the endless night, of Rilke ! Dark poetry

[@kennethkingsley5270]

I've been playing this song for the past 3 weeks now its start my day and ends it

[@nthlns]

I just remembered that next to the previous house that I lived there was a small shop that I used to attend weekly and the owner of this store only listened to this kind of music and I found it very cool. One day I couldn't stand it, and I ended up going to talk to him about the songs he always put on. Finally, I met this band on his recommendation 💜

[@etheridescence]

I love it when people like that are cool about and share the music. =)

[@DZ5G]

That is awesome I saw clan of xymox twice in concert: New Orleans 1991 Las Vegas 2018

[@coyotecreekband236]

I finally got to see them live in June 2023 after 30 years of wanting to experience them live. Well worth the wait

[@eyeless5925]

It's so melancholy rock, I love it most in C.O.X. songs.

[@robertczwartek231]

This is the best piece produced 4AD and the best song of Clan of Xymox :-)

Can you please tell me what the name is of the vocals in this song?

saw them in a small club in nyc in 88. Didnt realize the greatness I was seeing till the show started. Still maybe the best live music I ever heard. During the Medusa and 1st album time.

[@byksEBM]

She Wants Revenge reminds me of what great dark wave sounds like, I love both bands.

[@abnokaP]

LASHINGS UK that band came out 30 years later

[@thirdstrike4u]

Clan of xymox is the prime example of what dark wave should sound like.

[@sid8139]

Acabei de ver o filme, O Hóspede, pelo Tele cine. A trilha sonora chamou minha atenção. Escutei um som que me pareceu familiar. Vim pesquisar no KZbin a trilha sonora. Ao escutar veio a memória uma época especial na minha vida. A parte instrumental do início da música "a day" da banda Clan Of Xymox. Fui conhecer essa banda e ouvir esse som na minha adolescência. Um amigo chamado Evanguelos (boca 7), que apresentou essa, então, novidade na época. Bem como Front 242, Bauhaus, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, The Cult, The Smiths, Joy Division, entre outros. Morávamos no bairro Ponta da Praia na cidade de Santos-SP. O Boca sempre aparecia com essas novidades. Uns sons muito louco. Voltei no tempo. Ao escutar Clan Of Xymox pareceu que entrei em uma espécie de máquina do tempo. Surreal. Tenho hoje 46 anos. Mas na época, por volta de 13 anos. Muito louco isso. *Santos 09/07/2019
