Thurston Moore - Ono Soul

Music video by Thurston Moore performing Ono Soul. (C) 1995 Geffen Records

[@MrJosephFusco]

I was a production assistant on this video - it was done in one day on Canal Street...One VERY LONG DAY. It was a different world back then. I have fond memories of it.

[@cinemar]

Thanks for the insight. All Thurston Moore's videos are excellent. People don't realise how much work goes into a shoot like this.

[@patricknorton1300]

I miss the 90s....This album is one of the reasons....

[@patricknorton1300]

I STILL don't know all the words....

[@Gady]

I love this video! One of my favorites from the Corporate Ghost DVD

[@tropang90s15]

What is the meaning of ono soul

[@misterbamboostick]

Man, that guitar-riff is one of the best ever. So dark and mysterious. I also like the dying guitar in the background. :-)

[@bristlefist]

So simple and seems so obvious once someone's already done it.

[@humaninterface7153]

havent heard such a groovy minimalistic cool song in a long time

[@Tomnedreb]

Always been a big Sonic Youth fan, and Thurston was really important part of their sound. Easy to recognize on this particular track. Really really good!

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

LOL, ya think? To me, Thurston IS Sonic Youth. It’s just obvious he was the principal creative force behind the band.

[@garybeck260]

love the static guitar in the background.

[@Vote1Jimmy]

Alt Music neeeds to come back to MTV

[@tracymccowan4232]

MUSIC needs to come back to MTV.

[@johns.7609]

I’m not sure why but this track melts my brain. Had no idea there was a video for it and now, well wtf this is amazing

[@susyriego99]

my favourite 90's album by my favourite 90's ginger, apart from myself hahaha

[@vibrationalkeys3320]

*awe, hey there* 🌞

[@billyreis3669]

Thurston Moore is great in every way, great musician and singer.

[@Caniballe]

Thurston to Kim and Lee: "Ok, I'll go... but I'll take Steve with me!"

[@chillygreene]

Lee, "the edge of a blade pressed to the throat of your reflected image"

[@juergen_de]

Great Album and Great Song! LOVE IT

[@tonin1661]

Psycho Hearts BEST álbum of TM for me!!

[@dtelled1]

Apparently Rita Ackerman did the album art for this record, I still find it compelling.

[@dtelled1]

I still have this original album from when I bought it in 1995. Had to actually do a double take on the cover to realize who the artist was. Once I realized it, it was an instant purchase and permanent piece of my album collection ever since. Thanks for posting!

[@complyvoluntarily]

its been my photo fer 10 yrs. who is the artist? lol

[@essandless1969]

Bendito sea el día que encontré esta canción por mis propios medios, ahora sólo queda disfrutar

[@chillygreene]

Holy Shit! So... THIS is where I get the idea for every song I write... Thanks, Big Thurst!

[@ndh641]

Found it. looked for this song for years

[@gingermccarthy9537]

Thurston emanate's his soul...And our soul's understand.

[@juriaanschimmer538]

Great song 😉

[@timblack7944]

Ever since I bought this album when it came out, this single screams "written by a vampire sire".

[@MeisterFindig]

absolutely fabulous... i love it ! Thanks a lot for posting this here... :)

[@jacobeaston7431]

So unrealtedly relatable what can I even say.

[@Popeevka]

Banger

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

Not what I consider one of the strongest songs on the album (it’s a strange choice for a ‘single’ or a radio ‘push track’), but the album overall is fantastic, my second favorite out of all SY or SY-adjacent LPs, after my number one all time fav, Washing Machine.

[@ThePankesa]

De mis favoritas😍

ALTERA HISTORIA DU ROCK

[@sydglover4842]

I like how he refers to Yoko as the queen of noise it suits her very well in a way

[@orangerollsangelspit]

Kim Gordon is the real queen of noise and Thurston is the King

[@nilselmano]

Bow down to the king of rock

[@NathanNchannel]

wowwwwww

[@Pegaxius]

[@STRENGTHSKATEBOARDS]

ILL SHIT!!

[@TimeTraveller010]

If you do not 'own a soul' you are soul less. (Edit) I dated an Asian woman that uncannily made the same sounds as Yoko does in the opening of this song. She also looks like Yoko but she is Chinese. It must be an Asian expression.

[@thatguyyoudontfeel]

It's hard to watch this video while Avril Lavigne is staring at me.. What the fuck Vevo?!?!

[@ultimosis]

This song got ripped off pretty hard! Check out the song Lalala by Y2K and bbno$

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

Christ, you weren’t kidding. What an awful song by “Y2K”… their video for their rip-off of this song has HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of views… is Thurston aware of that song? I would at least consider a lawsuit if I were him.

[@MadeInIndigo]

I got Britney...

[@heron8875]
