@@999metalhead7 Legends 🙏❤️🙏Michael Hutchence is my second favorite front man of all time (I'm a huge fan of The Rolling Stones 😉) but for me the best live band is INXS. Greetings from Croatia, Tanja ✌️
58 years of age, I've seen a lot of performances... this concert remains the best one of all times for me ! This song is a gem among all the others of this exceptional gig. Thanks to all members of this incredible band and RIP Michael.
I think some of it was the hatred between Michael and a certain someone, which sucks because there were 5 other very talented men in INXS. I keep hoping one day we might see a reunion of just Andrew, Garry, Jon, Tim and Kirk. Between them, their voices are decent enough...they don't need anyone else. (I have a feeling Michael would somehow lend a hand if they did!) It's too late for an induction this year, (2022) but there's a petition you can sign to help them out! Just look at several INXS videos on TH-cam...you can't miss it! Rock On, Michael. ✌& ❤
Il possédait tous les atouts pour être l’un des plus grands rocker, à mon avis il est dans la mémoire de ce 20eme siècle au top 5 des plus grands au même niveau que Freddy, Whitney, Mickael Jackson et Luciano Pavarotti. La gloire il n’a pas besoin de la quémander il l’a éternellement
Been listening to all their songs lately.. So many great memories, the music is so uplifting in a time for me that is one of the toughest times of my life. I thank INXS for their music, It gives me so much joy and happiness. I remember having the cassette tape and the album, singing to it in front of my mirror as a teenager.. time flys. I am grateful that TH-cam has all these precious treasures that we can relive, discover, touch our hearts and brighten our world.. I read somewhere once that Michael wondered if the music will matter to others years later. 🥰🙌🌠 The music and the impact the band had on our hearts matters forever and more than you'll ever know!! Grateful!
Micheal is every bit a poet as Jim Morrison. Totally underrated but never forgotten. " The nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck"...."We dare to hold on to our faith, steal away our destiny, to catch ourselves with quiet grace."
No...he wanted 2 b Morris on!! Quite shite because he's an outstanding artist!!.. I was a young teen in the 90s + have been listening 2 them 4 years, but I remember 1 of my 1st thoughts being " oh wow, he's channeling Jim" rite down 2 the stinky leathers + the reptilian moves!
Man, what a poetic song!! Beautifully played and sung. Oh how I wish I could have seen this concert. Thanks INXS for being such a superb band. Hoping you make it into the US Rock/Roll Hall of Fame in 2025!!
I once heard Nile Rodgers say he was the best drummer he'd ever worked with...and JF was prob only early 20s when that happened. PS Check out 2.50....2.55 where he throws a drumstick away and picks up another all without missing a beat....
I'm 54 now but you move on to new music as you get older DMB, The Black Keys, etc but this is the music I grew up to. You forget this at times in your life and at that very trigger moment whatever that may be you get sucked back this and your overwhelmed by so many emotions, it's a blend of everything. Very bittersweet.
6 talented men brought together to form an absolutely phenomenal band the likes of which we’ll never see together again. Brilliant musicians & best front man 🙌🏼 🎤 Thanks for the music INXS 🎵 🎶
Yes, totally agree.........and lovely human beings. See and have a good chat with Andrew quite often, have spent time with Kirk and Tim...........just so down to earth...............and Andrew has a million funny stories about these happy larrikins💗💗
@@1makalu They all seem like very affable guys, all of them, I have never seen a band so fun to watch for they each display excellence on stage. How is it you know them personally? Where to they hand out these days? I'll bet there are a million stories - when will the next book about them be written?
This live is Superb. His voice is profound. I passed him on the stairs. In the corridors. I shared same spaces with him. We passed each other. Destinies not met.

Brilliant, this must be one of their most iconic numbers! back in 1991 INXS were absolutely on top of their game... and of course with Michael H one of rock's very best frontmen.. the man can't be replaced!!!
Sherree you Rock….. from British Columbia Canada…. I have 700 favourite bands 450,000 favourite songs but this is probably my number one of all time…..xxxxoooo To you…
I was at this concert. When the band started this the crowd froze for a few seconds, it was electric. Why this song didn't become the hit it should have always confused me. Listen to the words, still resonates now.
You're very lucky ! I would have given anything to be there ! Were you there the whole day seeing the openings acts ? Fun fact : I read in their book, Michael gave Kirk an ecstasy pill but told him not to take it until this song . You can see him chewing it if you look close 😂
Mickael HUTCHENCE l’ultime roi du Rock and Roll. Jamais égalé, jamais remplacé !!! En 2023 son style, sa voix, sa sensualité, son charisme bouleversent des millions de fans. INXS quel génie !!!
I view this song as a lesson or reminder about the enormous variety of other people's lives with which we are surrounded in our urban environments, as when you pass a few dozen cars on the freeway and have the idle thought of wondering about the business of each. I feel certain that Michael Hutchence was inspired by Georges Perec's novel "Life: A User's Manual" when he wrote "The Stairs" for INXS. This is a melancholy song about isolation in the midst of a crowded space, a kind of starvation surrounded by plenty. Some of the song's lines are cribbed from the novel's opening chapter (which is titled "On the Stairs"). Perec has a different take in his novel, which centers on life in an apartment complex: his denizens who surround one another are all explicitly linked together in some way, although what the whole looks like is left a mystery to them. Hutchence and Perec reach the same conclusion, but Hutchence, with the additional lyrics he adds, perceives it as a problem that shouldn't just be accepted as a fact of life and dismissed.
Imagine that. A band that can play instruments and a lead singer with a true vocals - all outside a studio, not lip syncing and not with an album track of music to mask it all. Bands of today should take notice. This concert should be a training video for every kid that wants to go to a big show or a band that wants to play one. I remember having to scour the music shop catalogs and magazines or the day, reaching out to fan club members by this new thing called email and somehow by hook or by crook getting a copy of this show on DVD - before Live Baby Live came out, paying big $$ to do so. I still have that double CD somewhere. Hard to believe it was almost 30 years ago! Finding INXS shows on CD was a treat because while you recognized the songs, each show, and each song was always done a little bit different - truly live. Thanks mates for great music and even better live shows.
I’ve always been drawn to music that moves me. INXS is definitely one of those bands. Sometimes it’s so hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about certain music that makes you move and come alive. I’ve thought about this a lot with INXS, and I think it’s a combo of: Unparalleled tone/melodies/energy/soulfulness by Hutchence. He’s just so good at connecting with his audience and causing you to feel something. You can feel his heart n soul (and sometimes libido LOL) in every note. Every band member is excellent at their respective craft. They know how to gel their sound together and most of all- they genuinely look and feel like they love their music and playing together. Can’t say that about many bands. And they’re not arrogant pricks in interviews like so many musicians. Except for Michael a bit in the later years but I think it’s obvious his head injury changed his personality. So sad. Either way, their music is timeless and will live on. Much respect and gratitude 🙌❤️
I truly thank God for showing me INXS. I’m only a youngling but literally can’t imagine not having these masterpieces of records to listen to. Just unbelievable music and no one will ever surpass this. Can’t express enough the feeling I get listening to INXS it’s just unworldly. Wish you were here Michael ;(
@ Joseph I feel the same way and can't explain it in total. I'm a senior who has just discovered them in depth. Truly a great band. Love their musical catalog 70s through 90s.
@@jazshas hah yep I just graduated and there was no better way to end off high school than with discovering this band. criminally underrated along with X. everyone says kick was their best production and it is a great album, but X was so refined and articulate, to me that was their peak as far as production goes. the variety of the music genres is also so refreshing. anyways im rambling because I enjoy talking about this band, enjoy though!
You're lucky, in a way, that you're able to "binge-watch" INXS's career. For those of us who loved them near the beginning, and then how to see how it, more or less, ended was a real gut-punch!
Me too!!! My older sister and I both love them so much, & she knows this is one of my number 1 songs, and she always puts it on for me when I go to her house!😂❤
And to think Michael had to be talked into being the lead singer...He only ended up being one of the best frontmen to ever do it. RIP Michael Hutchence. Thank you.
@@naeru5810 Yeah. I've spent my life watching the VHS/DVD quality version of Live Baby Live and now we have the 4K version restored from the original 35mm film.
I remember with great affection, I was a fan of INXS from the first day I listened to them, this was my first concert and it left me totally shocked, it's like the first love I will always carry with me.
You forget how truly far they managed to get at their late 80s and early 90s peak for a bunch of Aussies. Like Simple Minds fronted by a guy who mixed the look of Marillion's Steve Hogarth with the slithery charisma of Depeche Modes Dave Gahan.
Such a rich and strong vocal. Hutchence was always appreciated as the front man of his day. The evolution and success where jim Morrison couldn't quite go. The authentic control of tone and vibrato showed the depth of talent because he always hit his notes with strength and confidence. I feel his masterful skills as a gifted vocalist didn't quite get the recognition he deserved. The tightness of the ensemble band is rare and when Hutchence died, left a gaping hole in the music world, refilled temporarily only with their rich catalogue of videos, albums and performances. God bless.
The Stairs is truly amazing both live and on the video, I don't think we will ever see another band as great as INXS in my lifetime words cannot Express how fantastic Michael hutchence really was as the best front man ever! & he had the best musicians behind or beside him!RIP beautiful Michael we miss you xxxx
Il avait une sensualité torride, une voix unique et puissante , une présence sur scène hypnotique et il était également poète puisqu’il faisait les textes de ses chansons. Il avait tout!!! La beauté ´, le talent, la sensualité…
Always loved these guys. Unfortunately my gf (now wife) and I didn't have a dime in our pockets to buy concert tickets very often. But over the years since we've seen them all. From punk bands to Springsteen and these guys are right up there for a concert for the ages.
It's s Sept 25th , 2024. And The X Album was released in 1991. So, this great song is celebrating 33 blessed years! ✌️💪😃👍 Storey to storey, building to building, street to street, we pass each other on the stairs! ✌️😎👍
This could be in TOP 15 best concerts in History of Music. With this remaster i can feel now...how was that evening/night light. We can see more details now. NO PHONES = Amazing atmosphere. Michael Hutchence Rock In Peace.
I saw this concert at the movie theatre last December 2019 pre covid and it was AMAZING. Almost like being there and almost everyone in the audience was wearing INXS t shirts. I seriously felt like i has travelled back in time. I must admit I cried during this song. So many memories ......
To this day Michael Hutchence was the best frontman ever in an Australian Band. INXS and Michael made fabulous music! It still saddens me that he is no longer here!
He’s so amazing. Great singer. Not one bad note. Charismatic. MASCULINE. Beautiful. We miss you Michael. And the entirety of INXS: just a great solid band. Excellent musicians. Now that I’m “older & wiser” can honestly say: I think they were better than U2.
I agree seen both bands inxs 1991 and 93 ,and u2 92 and 93 ,u2 were a bigger act but there stageshow was overwhelming, wether on the other hand inxs were just a live band on stage and they were better.
I don’t get what’s so critically important about being considered ‘masculine’ or having to consider someone ‘masculine’? This is just a stereotype that binds people. People are kaleidoscopes, the combinations of their traits are countless, and still we try to limit people by these unnatural impositions. He’s a man. He projects a strong powerful sexually passionate persona onstage. But so do Madonna and other women. Does this makes them ‘masculine’?
Amazing song, amazing band. I remember when I was a teen, my alarm clock radio would wake me up before school each morning and I would lay there not wanting to get up while listening to music. I remember hearing this song for the first time way back when during one of these mornings. It's stuck with me ever since.
Simply❤️❤️like the band so long time‼️it’s my generation and can just thank » Tou Tube »👍🏿for Give pleasure seeing , yesterday With discs and CD... just listen ❤️lovely’s 🙏👋2023 just a pleasure listen HIM❤️💋sensitivity , happy bring chills is so wonderfully, thank INXS/MICHAEL, songs, beauty’s, voices , that is Michael👌💝
Music executives need to stop the insanity once and for all!!!!! THIS is the kind of music we want to hear...not auto tune garbage... Kids are growing up not knowing anything about real music being created by real musicians....I just don't comprehend the senselessness of the music industry...
In a room above a busy street The echoes of a life The fragments and the accidents Separated by incidents Listen to by the walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements Story to story Building to building Street to street We pass each other on the stairs Story to story Building to building Street to street We pass each other on the stairs Listen to by the walls We share the same spaces Repeated in the corridors Performing the same movements The nature of your tragedy Is chained around your neck Do you lead or are you lead Are you sure that you don't care There are reasons here to give your life And follow in your way The passion lives to keep your faith Though all are different, all are great Climbing as we fall We dare to hold…

it's a disgrace they aren't in - same with Duran Duran
Great question!
I think some of it was the hatred between Michael and a certain someone, which sucks because there were 5 other very talented men in INXS. I keep hoping one day we might see a reunion of just Andrew, Garry, Jon, Tim and Kirk.

Hutchence and Perec reach the same conclusion, but Hutchence, with the additional lyrics he adds, perceives it as a problem that shouldn't just be accepted as a fact of life and dismissed.
Imagine that. A band that can play instruments and a lead singer with a true vocals - all outside a studio, not lip syncing and not with an album track of music to mask it all. Bands of today should take notice. This concert should be a training video for every kid that wants to go to a big show or a band that wants to play one.
I remember having to scour the music shop catalogs and magazines or the day, reaching out to fan club members by this new thing called email and somehow by hook or by crook getting a copy of this show on DVD - before Live Baby Live came out, paying big $$ to do so. I still have that double CD somewhere. Hard to believe it was almost 30 years ago! Finding INXS shows on CD was a treat because while you recognized the songs, each show, and each song was always done a little bit different - truly live.
Thanks mates for great music and even better live shows.
This comment is viral worthy!
I love their live recordings ... they are the best! Stairs, New Sensation and Disappear, What you Need @ Wembley 1991 are my all time Favorites!!
Well stated.
organicnectar queen ,same!!!!
organicnectar:: One of my fave songs by INXS, ohhhh Michael, U R so missed, such a travesty to have lost U like we did...such irony...😓👎😱🌀💚🙏🌞
That hair! That voice!!! Such a rare beautiful talent!! Such an amazing band
I’ve always been drawn to music that moves me. INXS is definitely one of those bands. Sometimes it’s so hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about certain music that makes you move and come alive. I’ve thought about this a lot with INXS, and I think it’s a combo of: Unparalleled tone/melodies/energy/soulfulness by Hutchence. He’s just so good at connecting with his audience and causing you to feel something. You can feel his heart n soul (and sometimes libido LOL) in every note. Every band member is excellent at their respective craft. They know how to gel their sound together and most of all- they genuinely look and feel like they love their music and playing together. Can’t say that about many bands.
And they’re not arrogant pricks in interviews like so many musicians. Except for Michael a bit in the later years but I think it’s obvious his head injury changed his personality. So sad. Either way, their music is timeless and will live on. Much respect and gratitude 🙌❤️
I truly thank God for showing me INXS. I’m only a youngling but literally can’t imagine not having these masterpieces of records to listen to. Just unbelievable music and no one will ever surpass this. Can’t express enough the feeling I get listening to INXS it’s just unworldly. Wish you were here Michael ;(
Im nearly 16, and this is my favourite song of all time. Im also 90% sure it was the first song i ever heard
@ Joseph
I feel the same way and can't explain it in total. I'm a senior who has just discovered them in depth. Truly a great band. Love their musical catalog 70s through 90s.
@@jazshas hah yep I just graduated and there was no better way to end off high school than with discovering this band. criminally underrated along with X. everyone says kick was their best production and it is a great album, but X was so refined and articulate, to me that was their peak as far as production goes. the variety of the music genres is also so refreshing. anyways im rambling because I enjoy talking about this band, enjoy though!
You're lucky, in a way, that you're able to "binge-watch" INXS's career. For those of us who loved them near the beginning, and then how to see how it, more or less, ended was a real gut-punch!
My favorite INXS song. Wish I would have seen them live before…💔
My favorite song too. This song!!! God damn!
Can’t describe how much this song moves me, from the very first time I heard it! Truly a great song and performance.
Me too.
Me too 👍. Love from Germany 🇩🇪 ………… 🎶💪🏻🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me too!!! My older sister and I both love them so much, & she knows this is one of my number 1 songs, and she always puts it on for me when I go to her house!😂❤
This is one of the most magical songs ever written.
One of my favorite tracks. Better than most of today’s pop if not all of it.
Michael Hutchence was So Beautiful💛 Wish He was still With Us!.. miss Him💗
@peggylomas1263 So do I ,honey ,so do I God bless you always.💞💐💕🌸♥️🌺🌷💝💖💖💖💝💝🧬🌹
And to think Michael had to be talked into being the lead singer...He only ended up being one of the best frontmen to ever do it. RIP Michael Hutchence. Thank you.
So happy to see Michael in all his remastered glory ❤
Remastered?
@@naeru5810 Yeah. I've spent my life watching the VHS/DVD quality version of Live Baby Live and now we have the 4K version restored from the original 35mm film.
I remember with great affection, I was a fan of INXS from the first day I listened to them, this was my first concert and it left me totally shocked, it's like the first love I will always carry with me.
Lucky ,,,,,,,, you have a wonderful ❤ time...........*******,,*,**☘☘☘☘☘
You forget how truly far they managed to get at their late 80s and early 90s peak for a bunch of Aussies. Like Simple Minds fronted by a guy who mixed the look of Marillion's Steve Hogarth with the slithery charisma of Depeche Modes Dave Gahan.
Such a rich and strong vocal. Hutchence was always appreciated as the front man of his day. The evolution and success where jim Morrison couldn't quite go. The authentic control of tone and vibrato showed the depth of talent because he always hit his notes with strength and confidence. I feel his masterful skills as a gifted vocalist didn't quite get the recognition he deserved.
The tightness of the ensemble band is rare and when Hutchence died, left a gaping hole in the music world, refilled temporarily only with their rich catalogue of videos, albums and performances. God bless.
Beautiful!
Wasn’t he also sick during this concert?
@@bethanyredd2948 There is an interview that was done before the show and yes he had a sore throat his voice was strained.
@@bethanyredd2948 found the interview with the reference th-cam.com/video/wzvJ4IylTaM/w-d-xo.html
Beautifully articulated comment.
“The nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck..!” How ironic, foreboding and what a sad fulfilling prophecy.
The footage looks incredible like it was just filmed and recorded yesterday
Timeless
35mm film. If it was video of the time, it would look like crap today.
I was there. Remember it well. 2nd only to Queen on the Magic Tour @Wembley.
There's a TH-cam of the restoration.
@@9307derek where's the link?
The Stairs is truly amazing both live and on the video, I don't think we will ever see another band as great as INXS in my lifetime words cannot Express how fantastic Michael hutchence really was as the best front man ever! & he had the best musicians behind or beside him!RIP beautiful Michael we miss you xxxx
I love the stairs Xoxo love 💕🌸
Such a sad ending
Il avait une sensualité torride, une voix unique et puissante , une présence sur scène hypnotique et il était également poète puisqu’il faisait les textes de ses chansons.
Il avait tout!!! La beauté ´, le talent, la sensualité…
Inxs was such an underrated band,they are one of my all time favorite bands!
Honestly my favourite inxs song
Love this track.."do you lead or are you led?. Are you sure that you don't care?."..bloody great lyric...genius, one of the best tracks they ever did.
Amen
Absolutely, Amen!!🙏
There's all kinds of music, and there's INXS
Inxs sound is timeless, michael was the last rockstar
THE BEST BAND AUSTRALIAS EVER HAD, HANDS DOWN!
The worlds best band ever
Wherever you are Michael I LOVE YOU!
Would be the biggest band on earth today.......thanks for all
I was there with my brother, SummerXS. Brilliant day, well worth the 12 trip from home! Still gives me goosebumps to this day!
I can listen to this song over and over never stop INXS incredible band incredible guy MICHAEL. 😢😅
One of the greatest frontmen in rock history. He just had that magnetic persona that drew you in like a moth to a flame. Still sorely missed.
Always loved these guys. Unfortunately my gf (now wife) and I didn't have a dime in our pockets to buy concert tickets very often. But over the years since we've seen them all. From punk bands to Springsteen and these guys are right up there for a concert for the ages.
Yeah .! Deserves to be on the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. I advocate for that.
Best frontman ever
Yes indeed 💙
I agree
INXS rules & will always be number 1!! The Stairs is truly a masterpiece.
INXS 👏🏻👏🏻 MichaelHutch The most beautiful Frontman and Stunning Voice ! ♥️
It's s Sept 25th , 2024. And The X Album was released in 1991. So, this great song is celebrating 33 blessed years! ✌️💪😃👍
Storey to storey, building to building, street to street, we pass each other on the stairs! ✌️😎👍
Very underrated song... But a true masterpiece...
Nothing underrated about this song didn’t have to be number one in every country in the world but a masterpiece from INXS
@@toddheath521 I wish it was over 7 minutes. That would be SUPER
Yep. Love this.
Absolutely the best ever
Such a great song. Even 30 years later
How great a live gig used to be, no mobile phones, just crowd simply enjoying. God, and the way he looked up at the dark sky at the end of the song😥
This could be in TOP 15 best concerts in History of Music. With this remaster i can feel now...how was that evening/night light. We can see more details now. NO PHONES = Amazing atmosphere.
Michael Hutchence Rock In Peace.
It was awesome. I was there.
Me too no1 live concert
I saw this concert at the movie theatre last December 2019 pre covid and it was AMAZING. Almost like being there and almost everyone in the audience was wearing INXS t shirts. I seriously felt like i has travelled back in time. I must admit I cried during this song. So many memories ......
It was all about ENERGY. These boys had it and knew how to convey it.....absolutely brilliant ❤❤
Sin lugar a dudas el mejor frontman de la historia musical
To this day Michael Hutchence was the best frontman ever in an Australian Band. INXS and Michael made fabulous music! It still saddens me that he is no longer here!
2 greats from Australia
The Hutch and Bon Scott
Both in the top 5 of all time.
Yeah, me too! I love them so much. So sad.
I feel super high with their songs without any drop of alcohol how is it possible??!!! MASTERPIECE
Will always be the best frontman IMO.
What a voice he had! Love Michael and INXS!!
He’s so amazing. Great singer. Not one bad note. Charismatic. MASCULINE. Beautiful. We miss you Michael.
And the entirety of INXS: just a great solid band. Excellent musicians. Now that I’m “older & wiser” can honestly say: I think they were better than U2.
I agree seen both bands inxs 1991 and 93 ,and u2 92 and 93 ,u2 were a bigger act but there stageshow was overwhelming, wether on the other hand inxs were just a live band on stage and they were better.
as a great u2 fan let me say inxs imo equally as great but different style. sort of got tired of bono being so full of himself.
I don’t get what’s so critically important about being considered ‘masculine’ or having to consider someone ‘masculine’? This is just a stereotype that binds people. People are kaleidoscopes, the combinations of their traits are countless, and still we try to limit people by these unnatural impositions.
He’s a man. He projects a strong powerful sexually passionate persona onstage. But so do Madonna and other women. Does this makes them ‘masculine’?
Totally better
Great song, feel sorry for him, met the wrong one with plenty interference from you know who, RIP Michael you deserve it xx
Great Singer of all time. Michael Hutchence. Great Band ♥️
He made looking hot look so cool!
Jeane INXS sempre INXS esta em nossos coracoes pena que o vocalista se foi
Jeanne obrigado
Love them to death
👍👍👍😎
Amazing song, amazing band. I remember when I was a teen, my alarm clock radio would wake me up before school each morning and I would lay there not wanting to get up while listening to music. I remember hearing this song for the first time way back when during one of these mornings. It's stuck with me ever since.
Epic band, with Epic Songs! Still today, a sound & Talent at the top ! still actual and true "Pop-Rock"

Already have. Was the greatest band.
Magnifique chanson d'INXS et la voix de Michael !!! 🌞🌞🌞🌠
Una de las pocas bandas internacionales que suena mejor en vivo, superando el sonido grabado en estudio. Insuperable!
Sim
Saudades de le
Es lo que siempre pienso, son muy pocas bandas en la historia de la musica las que pueden igualar a INXS
The Entire INXS are so Versatile & Talented! Love ❤ their Music and Emotional Energy through their 🎵 Songs.
Music executives need to stop the insanity once and for all!!!!! THIS is the kind of music we want to hear...not auto tune garbage... Kids are growing up not knowing anything about real music being created by real musicians....I just don't comprehend the senselessness of the music industry...
Inxs in the studio were very good ..., but live they are superb ... !!
This song gives me chills. The intense performance and the music.. brilliant lyrics miss this bright light... He was special..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Feckin marvellous, only stumbled across this song , while listening to other inxs songs , this is the best .R.I.P Till we meet again
In a room above a busy street
The echoes of a life
The fragments and the accidents
Separated by incidents
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead or are you lead
Are you sure that you don't care
There are reasons here to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different, all are great
Climbing as we fall
We dare to hold…
⁶
some of my favourite lyrics ever ever ever
Storey bro!!!
Great inxs
Dafuq dude?
