Alison Shaw is too much for this corrupted world we live in, her voice, her lyrics, her soul, her art. She is just ethereal beauty. I'm lucky to have found such a precious gem like this band. Greetings from Argentina.
Is she still alive, I thought she had passes by your comment. Sorry I don't know how I came to that conclusion. People say that when someone has died usually
I missed her playing with The Cure in Flushing Meadows, NYC in 1992. A very dear friend of mine who’s left this world saw this show amongst others and thanks to her, introduced me into a lot of music I’d prob never be into. A very special time in my life. Early teen in the 90s. Wings of Joy is incredible and indelible on my soul.
There's something really special about this band, their music holds a special place in my heart. It reminds me of rainy days, drinking warm tea and hoping for better times to come...
Touch me i'm here with you And though I ache And though I want of you Make my mind and body burn Yeah I married you Tonight I dreamed of you And dreamed but at times You ever knew You know I dreamed of you Sometimes fade and far of you Touch me i'm alone with you You knew this was a game for You make me fall into my eyes Did you know still preciously And you know We have found my mind You have my mind in my view You're the only thing I ever know And all i'm feeling down to beat You're the only thing I ever know You know i'm feeling down to beat Touch me i'm here with you And though I ache And though I want of you Make my mind and body burn With you anything I can think of you You knew by body burns ever Awake i've dreamed of you (dreamed of you) You ain't gonna I know i've gone ... You know i've dreamed of you Dreamed of you (you ain't gonna know i've gone) You're the only thing ever need And all I feel is down to beat You're the only thing I even know (need) And all I feel is that you're gone
I can't understand this without reading the lyrics along with it but it's super beautiful and no doubt what gave birth to artists like cranberries and songs like a thousand miles it's super unique and beautiful.
Once upon a time I was a young, moody artist who drank gin and tonics and listened to Cranes albums and painted. Listening now is like seeing someone you broke up with years ago and not knowing if you should say "hi" or just let it go.
Touch me I want to be with you The more I get, the more I want of you Makes my mind and body blue.. Yeah I'm filled with you And I dreamed of you I've been dreaming of the times we never knew I dreamed of you In the distance fading from view Touch me I am numb with you It makes it so beautiful And it all starts pouring from my eyes And you know, did you know? Still precious to me Did you know it's pouring from my eyes? And I know it's somewhere buried deep inside You're the only thing I ever know But now I feel it's time to go You're the only thing I ever need But now I feel it's time to leave Touch me I want to be with you The more I get, the more I want of you Makes my mind and body blue Everyday, any day I can think of you And my mind and body feel together I feel weak when I dream of you Feel weak I don't know what I'm going to do Feel weak when I dream of you Feel weak don't know what I'm going to do You're the only thing I ever need But now I feel it's time to leave You're the only thing I've ever known But now I feel it's time to go...
Hot late 93 summer afternoons on some friends apartment balcony amongst friends, smoking a lot and drinking ginger ale and tonic water... This memories come very fresh after listening to some songs of this memorable and unique band. Forever.
It was around 93 when I listened them the first time. They were the support of The Cure, I clearly remember this song, and that the next day I went to buy their CD. Wonderfully sad.
Yes. A dear friend whom I met at the mall when we were teenagers, attended this show, met The Cure at the QE2 and shared photos with me. From then on we were friends but sadly, her life was cut unexpectedly short at 18. She was a very special person who introduced me to music I may have missed out on had it now been for her and our connection. Miss you always, Danielle. 🖤
Thank you for posting all these videos of the wonderful Alison Shaw :) I didn't even know they existed for this wonderful band from 20 yrs ago. I still love them now and have my original cd's (I'm 42yo now).
I had no idea this even existed, as it's quite an early Cranes tune. I had only seen a picture of her and the band before this. What a startling good video. I listened to this 25 years ago!
Is Cranes the most underrated band of all time? How come there hasn't been any revisiting of their legacy? Maybe they were just too difficult to pigeonhole
Like Ali said, Cranes before and after 2000 were two different bands. I loved them from 1989-1993. After that they got more poppy, lost their old fans, didn't gain any new fans and eventually quit (?). Same story as Xmal Deutschland. I was lucky enough to see Cranes a lot from 1991 on.

She’s singing in English. I can tell what she is saying. Touch me I want to be with you The more I get, the more I want of you Makes my mind and body blue..

I'm not sure all of these are right. This version of the lyrics seems to be floating around online but I don't trust it at all. Do you actually hear 'blue' after 'mind and body'? I certainly can't hear anything that sounds at all like 'blue'. I've always heard that line as 'Make my mind and body well!' And then the line after as 'Yeah, I wanna be with you!' (a repeat affirmation of the first statement). The second verse starting 'Touch me' seems to have much more serious issues - I think nearly all the words here are incorrect. The choruses are generally much closer. It would be nice to know if anyone's seen the official Cranes lyric book that was published in a limited run in the 2000s.
@@astrologylibrary she’s certainly not singing in jibberish as the original poster stated. The lyrics are what I hear but either way I hear clearly what she’s saying. I’ve not checked through all the lyrics.
Oh, no question there, all of Ali's lyrics are in English (well, except the ones in French, on the LP La Tragédie d'Orestes et Électre) and meaningful. I think the lyrics on the album Wings of Joy and related singles and EPs were generally trickier to decipher than her later lyrics though.

How old is she today in 2023? I can’t find it

To a girl named Marianna, who introduced me to this band about twenty years ago.. may you are well, wherever you are!

Touch me i'm here with you
And though I ache
And though I want of you
Make my mind and body burn
Yeah I married you
Tonight I dreamed of you
And dreamed but at times
You ever knew
You know I dreamed of you
Sometimes fade and far of you
Touch me i'm alone with you
You knew this was a game for
You make me fall into my eyes
Did you know still preciously
And you know
We have found my mind
You have my mind in my view
You're the only thing I ever know
And all i'm feeling down to beat
You're the only thing I ever know
You know i'm feeling down to beat
Touch me i'm here with you
And though I ache
And though I want of you
Make my mind and body burn
With you anything
I can think of you
You knew by body burns ever
Awake i've dreamed of you (dreamed of you)
You ain't gonna I know i've gone ...
You know i've dreamed of you
Dreamed of you (you ain't gonna know i've gone)
You're the only thing ever need
And all I feel is down to beat
You're the only thing I even know (need)
And all I feel is that you're gone
2024 and still amazed for the beauty a nd perfection of Alison

poetic description.
Touch me I want to be with you
The more I get, the more I want of you
Makes my mind and body blue..
Yeah I'm filled with you
And I dreamed of you
I've been dreaming of the times we never knew
I dreamed of you
In the distance fading from view
Touch me I am numb with you
It makes it so beautiful
And it all starts pouring from my eyes
And you know, did you know?
Still precious to me
Did you know it's pouring from my eyes?
And I know it's somewhere buried deep inside
You're the only thing I ever know
But now I feel it's time to go
You're the only thing I ever need
But now I feel it's time to leave
Touch me I want to be with you
The more I get, the more I want of you
Makes my mind and body blue
Everyday, any day I can think of you
And my mind and body feel together
I feel weak when I dream of you
Feel weak I don't know what I'm going to do
Feel weak when I dream of you
Feel weak don't know what I'm going to do
You're the only thing I ever need
But now I feel it's time to leave
You're the only thing I've ever known
But now I feel it's time to go...
"... pouring from my eyes"?
@@MiloDC According to Apple Music's lyrics, yep.
@@danstratford5599 And also their official "Till the Stars Shine" lyrics book.
One of the most meaningful bands ever to me.
2021 ... still listening ... what a beautiful song
Hot late 93 summer afternoons on some friends apartment balcony amongst friends, smoking a lot and drinking ginger ale and tonic water... This memories come very fresh after listening to some songs of this memorable and unique band. Forever.
Yes. I can relate. Cloves and coffee.
One of the most captivating tunes I've ever heard. Remember this in 1991, still sounds great.
Yup, smoking cloves and drinking coffee to this.
It was around 93 when I listened them the first time. They were the support of The Cure, I clearly remember this song, and that the next day I went to buy their CD. Wonderfully sad.
Sounds like hell of a concert!
That was a great tour

L'ho amati, dal primo momento...
Literally one of the greatest bands of all time and one of the only things that got me through high school as a millennial
Alison is Awesome 👌 👏
Thank you for posting all these videos of the wonderful Alison Shaw :) I didn't even know they existed for this wonderful band from 20 yrs ago. I still love them now and have my original cd's (I'm 42yo now).
Beautiful Camerawork
Grandissimi! Quanti ricordi!
Super souvenir !! Je vous avez vue en concert de première partie de The Cure en 1992 sur Marseille ..
I STILL LOVE YOU JIM AND ABOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC
Shaw
i adore this band
seeing this on 120 minutes when it first came out, completely changed my trajectory and the music i wanted to make.
I had no idea this even existed, as it's quite an early Cranes tune. I had only seen a picture of her and the band before this. What a startling good video. I listened to this 25 years ago!
I love the style, the original style
lovely music
my best band - greetings from my daughter, we was in leipzig
Che nostalgia!
simply Beautifull.
Is Cranes the most underrated band of all time? How come there hasn't been any revisiting of their legacy? Maybe they were just too difficult to pigeonhole
What about Grimes?
the album"Population Four" was a mistake
Cranes and Curve, both very under rated and over looked by the masses... but the fans will never forget them.
@@Joakim4803 I agree, big fan of all of their albums, including the ones from the 2000s, but definitely NOT of P4
her voice kinda spoils it, she sings weird for the sake of sound weird.
spinechillingly beautiful

Hermosa cancion!
Emotivo
una bella voz
I remember you lot! I think.
I remember seeing this on the ITV Chart Show - approx 1992?
loveuall
feel weak when I dream of you
Feel weak I don't know what I'm going to do
Feel weak when I dream of you
Feel weak don't know what I'm going to do
You're the only thing I ever need
But now I feel it's time to leave
You're the only thing I've ever known
But now I feel it's time to go...
i need a friend, andrew in england, reminds me of my uni days
si hombreeeeee
makes me feel not so doomed
Some things aren't understood, or are they?
c a p o l a v o r o. consumata! (dove siete finiti??)
😭😭😭😁
Shame of me? :") Wish your words were as touching as the song.
Anyone remember This Ascencion?
Ella estaba en embarazo? Esa canción es una oda al bebé que lleva adentro?🤔
it was silly, i recommended this band to a lady who thought she was a goth. i said i know a band, she said does she have ginger hair, best goth band
Y i feel like this is Grimes’ mother•
Wht😂👏
Grimes Tears
Why's it in fucking 16:9?
Cocteau Twins
No need to be rude.
Es muy difícil entenderle la voz, no parece que cantara en inglés. Y tremendamente aburrida.😮💨
no idea what's she's singing can't understand a word, guessing it's made up gibberish or not English
She’s singing in English. I can tell what she is saying.
Touch me I want to be with you
The more I get, the more I want of you
Makes my mind and body blue..
Yeah I'm filled with you
And I dreamed of you
I've been dreaming of the times we never knew
I dreamed of you
In the distance fading from view
Touch me I am numb with you
It makes it so beautiful
And it all starts pouring from my eyes
And you know, did you know?
Still precious to me
Did you know it's pouring from my eyes?
And I know it's somewhere buried deep inside
You're the only thing I ever know
But now I feel it's time to go
You're the only thing I ever need
But now I feel it's time to leave
Touch me I want to be with you
The more I get, the more I want of you
Makes my mind and body blue
Everyday, any day I can think of you
And my mind and body feel together

@MephProduction - Well ok then. Thank you for letting us all know that.
Love their music but the vocals sound like a blathering child.
So awesome I have the 12inch ❤
