This song has stood the test of time. It is an evergreen classic. Who is listening to this in 2024 and beyond?
Aye, I heard Ghost cover it.
The original will always be best.
I
Still infatuated with Siobhan in 2024 as well.
im here - i just discovered this band, i love their song 'hello' this one is good too, marcella has a great voice, i dont think she needs to go for those high notes so often though, it can get a bit much sometimes
Number 1 on March 9th 1992.I was 26..I blinked and became 56.
I was 22 and blinked and became 54 😁👍
It's mad how time goes so quickly. I was 16 and bam 48 this year. Mia's the 90s best days ever.. I look around now and think wow what a mess.
I am absolutely stunned! I mean, we were all warned how fast time flies, obviously I just did not get it. I look in the mirror, but hardly recognize my own face. Is it really me? I feel cheated. Like I am really only half my age, still a little wobbly, just a little bit behind, late start but ready! What do you mean it is almost over?!?!? Can I get a restart?!?!?
The four stages of man , you can't beat it ,
Yeah. I'm 43 soon. "You're just a spring chicken". When you recognise that you are probably past the halfway mark.
We are just a vapour's breath within this existence, gents.
In 1992 I was 16-17 years old. I dreamed of a happy adult life, true love. Now I am 46. Dreams did not come true. I have not fulfilled my life. But the song is as beautiful as it used to be.
@@arturkarpinski164 I'm almost 41 and I feel the same way......no one around me knows, except me
i was 5 at the time....still really like this song after all these years.
I'm 46,i know what you mean, it was only a breath away 1992, immortality has passed, I'm glad we lived in the years we lived
If you're still alive today you're doing better than 99.9% of the people who have ever lived on Earth :)
@@bgill7475 bullshit 🤣🤣
90 s had the coolest female artists!
There's something completely other-worldly about, not just this song, but Shakespears Sister itself - Siobhan and Marcella are gloriously enchanting together. Will forever love this!
That era had many amazing songs. Even great songs did not make it to number one due to the sure number of songs available. Now the 1990s was not as good as the 1980s as there was a big drop off in the quality.
If you think that was goood check out old grey whistle test with EC in 1977. Excellent harmonica player too...
Yeah, everything they did was uber cool!
@Big Talker Indeed. In more ways than one.
@@typhoidpaddy1244 Not sure exactly what I should be looking for, but Marcella wrote and played with Clapton as well, eh?
Can't be the only one who had a HUGE crush on Siobhan back in the 90s
Which one is Siobhan? The long haired girl?
@@bekahe4433 Siobhan Fahey is the one with the long hair. I find her foxy as hellXD
@@simonbionary11010OK I thought it was her and I agree. She's hot. Have you seen her now? She still looks pretty good for her age.
only reason this was a hit for her part... the rest is depressing bullsh**......... ;)
More of a Marcella man myself, but both are beautiful!
I am 51 and I love this song. Great to hear it again..😊
You old bugger! ...thank God I'm only 50
An absolute masterpiece. I love that the show let them sing this LIVE!!!! No fakery or autotune here!!!
Yeah, look at 1:53 the guitar player moves his head and looks at the drummer. So that when the drummer starts, he can chime in and siobhan can do her part.
Was looking at other comments about mime vs live and thinking…
Almost all the lyrics/melodies are different to the studio version, and as a muso, i looked to band members ABSOLUTELY for changes as dramatic as that one!
This song was played at my mates funeral…. I’ve never been the same since. This song brings tears, goosebumps and over the years a warm smile of the awesome times we had together. Cheers from Australia, and live your life everyday like it’s your last. I say this from my hospital bed, bored, but thankful my heart decided too keep going for a little longer, feeling emotional so remembered this song, it made me breakdown. Blokes do “shower cry”, and I’m not ashamed too say it. I’m just stoked I’ll be able to watch my kids grow up and won’t take it for granted.
hope you're doing well...
Miss you dad 1967-2007 love you always 😢
Sorry for your loss.
[*]
You are half dad. 👍
In between hair bands, grunge and hip-hop, this masterpiece came out.❤
Me in 1992: This is an insanely good song!
Me in 2023: This is an insanely good song!
So true
@@sakaridis
My reply, this is an insanely good song. 👍
Marcella most underrated but brilliant singer, not many have a range of 6 octaves like she does.
Yeah! She goes down from bass all the way up to soprano! That is amazing. A2 to B6 isch right?
absolutely I never understood how she wasn't super-well known and regarded, and sang more?!
like, wow
now I understand most people don't have deep appreciation or understanding to appreciate
You know you're something special if top of the pops actually let you sing live
Wasn't it basically always allowed to use live vocals over a prerecorded backing track? Anyway, this performance is so extremely good that it takes really close scrutiny to spot differences between the studio vocals and this. But yeah, this isn't the album recording. Impressive.
30 years on, I still get goosebumps...
Me too ❤️
I heard this song as a sophomore in high school and I was mesmerized. Nothing like it now. So beautiful and unique !
Oh lordy so many shivers of them!!
Siobhan ❤❤❤❤❤❤
YES!!!! It's been 30 years for me too and now I'm sharing this with my 6 year old daughter ☺️
My crusch for Siobhan is eternal..
I love this song. Two beautiful ladies with amazing voices and talent. I wish I could go back to the late 80s, 90s and early 00s.
I wish I was already alive on the 80’
Got to be better than 2020 😬
@mike rathbone true ...
Not only you. I hate it the both are not alive anymore
Mystic True2 - what do you mean ?
Its the marriage of the angel and the devil that makes their collaboration work so well .... the high and low register, the pure light and the mysterious darkness .... the contrast is really brought together brilliantly in their music ...
I'm a proudly metal head since 1983 , this song is so underrated and so freaking short.
2024 and I still absolutely love this song it’s perfect!
Hair, makeup, wardrobe… impeccable. Adds to an already great song.
What a strange feeling when you see and hear a group that you have memories of as a 14 yr old boy and haven't heard from since. I'm 44 now. Man, my memory rocks!
Same man same!!! I remember seeing this video for the first time as a kid.
I'm 54 and still go back to it. Must've left a big impression.
I was 9 when this was number 1! I remember it was massive at the time though!
I'm 48. There's no way I'd forget this song, created a lasting impression on my teenage years.
I was six when this song was out. So your memory isn't anything special.
Man the '90s truly were THE.BEST.
Im 56 and this song was one of my favourites back in those years.
Marcella’s voice is beautifull, but the part of Sobhian is magician emotional they both are GODDESSES!!!
Siobhan Fahey rocks and is in my opinion one of the sexiest and most creative individuals in pop
I love the contrast between their voices... nothing like it.
True Talent !
A great US/British combination.
@@ajs41 Irish?
@@Brandywellbhoy Her family was Irish but she grew up in England which is why she has an English accent. It's where you grow up that determines who you really are IMO.
@@ajs41 Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Fantastic track. One of my favourites of 1992. I love it.
Hard to believe, I'm 75 and it’s the first time I’ve heard/seen this brilliant version.
40 here and just heard this beautiful song for the first time this year😬😬😬
Better late than never.
There's another version???
@@dess5500 The studio version, probably
I can’t even explain how amazing this is …there is no words … just wow !
I always love this song. The chemistry is great and I love the insane, evil look that Siobhan has in her eyes during the bridge.
I was also thinking of Neo's Girl in Matrix
Even though Siobhan's part is so short, its my favorite, and her expressions are perfect.
My understanding is that Siobhan was drunk af when they did the video and that is why there were so many cuts in it. Obviously she was doing a lot better on TotP.
Siobhan’s stage presence, though. The way she sells the mood…wonderful!
She's awesome. But also completely out of it here lol
Yep scary! Very different from her Bananarama days. Love it.saw Siobhan perform it live with Sarah and Keren.
This used to make me cry. Such a beautiful song.
I don't know why this clip popped up on TH-cam today but it is appreciated. Loved the song back then and still think it rocks. Didn't know that the girls could also deliver it live.
2:36 still gives chills down to my spine!
2:55 for me
I am so in love with the second woman that sings...
I heard this song at Glastonbury in 1992. Always loved it, but I can't believe it was that long ago !
I wish I were back in the 90’s
80's and then knowing what's coming
Enjoy the present. You will be saying “I wish I was back in the 20’s” in the 50’s.
@ we aren’t listening to any 20’s music today thou. Will they be listening to abba long after I’m gone - I suspect so
This song contains magical powers. Every. Single. Time 😌
And how does a song with that range sound better live? Oh that's right, talent 🎉
I was 12 when this was released. I loved it then and still love it at 42.
One of my all-time favourite songs, top 3 material. It's timeless, they both play their part to perfection. I'm sorry they didn't do more, and garner more appreciation, what they did was terrific.
this song...just gets me right into my soul for some reason... Every...time.
Thank you.
Splendid and very underrated band. Siobhan charisma level - Insane!
Man I love that everyone here is reminiscing on their youth with this song but this is the first time I’m experiencing this performance at 26. This is CRAZY! If I’d heard this at 14 I would have gone so feral, I could have clawed my way through a brick wall
"You better hope and pray that you make safe back to your own world"
it's a metaphor about man leaving her to go back to his wife and family, 'his own world'..! she might be threatening to grass on him..!
I think you should come back with this and let the latest generation have the same experience of this haunting song. It is timeless and as important now as it was back then. Thank you.
I would pay hundreds of dollars to see this live.I was 11 when this song came out and i played it endlessly until everyone in my house knew the words.
All said goes for me too
Aww I did the same thing with the music at home when I younger
An amazing song by 2 beautiful & talented singer song writers & represents all that's good about the 90's imho. Brilliant.
Before auto tune when artists were true artists and could replicate their songs live like this. Both ladies have phenomenal voices. I don't know if Siobhan did any solo stuff after this, it would have been awesome with that tone.
She made a Shakespear's Sister album on her own after, called #3. Rare but brilliant.
lol
She did loads of solo stuff as herself and as shakespear’s sister.
That is the voices of angels washing over me. Absolutely beautiful voices and as a 60 year old truck driver still brings a lump to my throat .
I love the evil nutter faces that the other one pulls. Beautiful.
The other one😂😂😂😂
@davidmurphy8364 Siobhan Fahey was like a female The Crow on her faces expressions!!! 😂😂😅😊
2024 EPIC RAW TALENT, this was so so good to watch, and speaking from every guys 90's childhood you were scared but turned on oh so much haha. This song will never die AWESOME
This was likely no easy feat to do live. They both sound sublime.
I don't think Siobhan does here at all, no hater though
@@bottlewaddle6677 agreed she started off ok but couldn't deliver like you say stil love her
@@bottlewaddle6677 yes the other Lady has some pipes though
@@Kierant2010There was miming and live singing. Actually. Not everyone mimed.
@@Kierant2010These vocals are completely live.
It's so easy to tell if someone is lip syncing and these girls are obviously not.
I always enjoyed watching TOTP each week (back in the day) highlight for me, this song will always be a timeless classic song 🎵
1:55 Is the moment you all came for
I was 11 when this song came out. It was no. 1 in the Charts for awhile. I feel such nostalgia hearing it again.
Holy Crap! I was just escorted back to 1992. I remember this being played SO MUCH on the radios. Love it.!!!!
An incredible live performance that replicates almost exactly the studio version.
Think you'll find it was lip-synced. How do I know? Because Shazam works on them!
@@ImtianaJonesMarcella's and Siobhan's lead vocals are live, but the rest are a pre-recorded backing track.
@@ImtianaJones Not necessarily: I run SoundHound on live classical music concerts - or even on myself when I'm humming a tune - and it finds it every time.
@@WaldoReyJr They would have had to record a "live" version with subtle changes in the way they sang, compared to the studio version. Cathandler's observation is correct. How do I know? I was recording and performing (electronic/pop) music in the same time period, and used the same technique.
@@ImtianaJoneshow old/musically experienced/trained are you to say that?
No auto tune no sob stories no rap crap just real music with real talent
This clip extends far beyond this universe
It moves the molecules in every cell of our being
The vibration of life itself
She absolutely nailed that.. 👌
Who else Looks forward to 1:56 when SIOBHAN comes in and 2:52 the high belt
She is sexy!
@@danielnewton5867 she sure is
Too right It's a rock n roll moment like waiting for a guitar solo or indeed Bono's 'tonight thank god..' bit in Do they know it's Christmas
Yes!
that would be me! best part ever 👍🏻
The early 90s, what a time to be alive, the vibe of the 80's was still felt and something new and future interesting was expected....A time when you left home without a mobile phone, pure adventure....
This song captures something so unique and fathomless. God it's beautiful...
Brilliant performance ❤
I’ve always loved this song. What a great performance.
I wrote a novel which was originally written as a TV series. If it were to ever be made, this song is a very important part of the story for one of the characters, really hope I get to see it made one day.
The smile she does is so wicked 👌
this song has hit me deeply/resonated with me since I was 10-11 years old
forever one of my favorites
An beautiful song by two endearing ladies. Pure retro classic, quality.
Proud to say I was enjoying it and listening to it yesteryear in 92 , just as I remember it soooo well today.simply brilliant 👌
Since I didn’t watch anything related to this at all, I don’t know why this popped up on my channel I recommended.But I’m not gonna complain! It takes me back to my childhood.
@FlyingMonkies325 ha! I googled True Blood earlier 🤔
I'm 46 now and loved this song so much when it came out .and it's still one of my all time favourite song's of all time. I just love the lyrics and the way the song goes from one sounding soft and gentle and then the other coming straight in with the kind of demonic face and voice expressions expecially on the official video 🖤🕳🖤
Dang that high note is amazing dang she nailed it.
I can't believe this is 30 years old now. My sister and I used to recreate the music video to the song in our living room. 😂. I'm 37 years old now.
I was a year old in 92, LOVE THIS SONG. Have done for many years 👏
Both singers are awesome and beautiful, but there is just something about the expressions and energy of Siobhan that's just so damn mesmerizing and sexy.
Just listened to the Ghost cover of this song and wanted to come back to the original. Really stands up after all these years.
Thank you God for allow me to live in the 90s...!!!
Derry Girls bought me here, in 1992 I was 7

Klasse Lied , Erinnerung an alte Zeiten ❤❤
I saw this live when it first aired and I was around 10/11 years old. Instantly fell in love with the melody, lyrics and overall performance; Even more so because it was done live and not a lot of bands played live on TOTP. It was truly a memorable experience and I remember questioning if they weren't really vampires or something like that.
Must have been nice to think thry were vampires.
This I'd the first time iv heard this...absolutely beautiful
God I love you ladies! This song hit me so hard in high school hearing it on MTV. Wow
i just discovered this band over the last couple of weeks - this is a great song. I dont know how to spell her name so I will call her SF, SF has a great style about her, kind of like a Batman villain - she looks amazing. i see they toured back in 2019, i wonder if there is a chance they might do it again, I can only hope
I absolutely love this song. Remember hearing it upon its release have have loved it ever since. I like how Siobahn comes in within the last minute and a half and just owns the song. Marcella and Siobhan are the musical compliment to each other.
2022 - this song is timeless. Its one song I want at my funeral. I remember hearing it when I came out of a coma in the 90s.
Marcy Levy is a powerful vocalist. I saw her with Eric Clapton and she’s special. This is the kind of band I never get tired of.
Still sounds as good now as it did when i was 13 back in 1992 and was my dads favourite song for a long time..sounds amazing live aswell.
Oh my goodness! It's better than the studio release! I cried one single tear, this was absolutely hauntingly beautiful ❤️
I was 12 when this came out, I loved it then, even though it creeped me out, but I love and appreciate this song so much more now!
lol, these performance was alway miming and lip-sync with prerecorded backing track. What you hear is the radio edit.
I still remember hearing this for the first time. Blew my mind and as a young man I was definitely distracted!
The music video for this song used to scare the shit out of me. Siobhan Fahey is scary but absolutely beautiful
Her drunk ass for the music video was amazing the first singer was actually mad at her 😆
@@Kt-cn2rq that's her attitude
What was she mad at her for?
@@dabrowmj from the sounds of it everyone was raving about fahey when it was her band and fahey was a just someone they brought in so jealousy basically but they have patched things up now and they do perform live again
@@Kt-cn2rq I'm not surprised from living in Dublin for a few years I have noticed Irish women have been rebels throughout history in a good way lol
I remember this song but i didn't appreciate it at the time for what it was. The 80s and 90s truly were a golden age for music.
Truly a world class song by world class performers, this song will never get old, pure natural talent, the synth chorus is amazing
Such a difference from her pop days. Awesome Siobhan 🔥
I loved Shakespeares Sister. So talented and under-appreciated.
Yep i was 13 in 92 and instantly loved this song. Kinda forgot about it until that episode of Derry Girls.
I only wish this song was longer.
Your missus has said the same about yer willy mate!
make an infinite loop of the song. :-) Problem solved.
TOTP did a terrible edit wit this performance. The actual song ends much better.
@@tcaudiobooks737 Your Momma said that actually.
@@ConfidencePT Dad?!
INSIDIOUS: THE RED DOOR brought me here! 🤩 This song really has an other worldly vibe. Been loving listening to it.
I love the way you think it’s gonna be a lovely love song and then……
And then.....Siobhan comes in.brilliant!
This was number one when I was born, March 1st 1992 :)
