You guys must be hardcore music fans like me to be here. First time I hear this Furs song and I realized it took me 40 years to get to it. I believe that one of the beautiful things in life is to discover something new that is old. I've been listening to it for 45 minutes already... the guitars in the background are hypnotizing. I'm pretty sure you guys have done that many times.
Me too. One time I saw them at St Andrews uni on the Talk Talk Talk tour in 81 . Definitely one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Met the band later at their hotel and drank til dawn the next day with them such a great bunch of people . They put us on the guest list for the next gig a couple of days later in Edinburgh. Great memories.
My first exposure was "Love My Way" on the radio. One of my greatest memories was seeing them at South Street Seaport NYC. I don't know which was more incredible, the show or my Co-Worker Kathy at Bell Labs Murray Hill, NJ. Kathy, if you ever read this: FIND ME (FB!)! I've been looking for you for decades now, the greatest woman I ever let slip through my fingers. I now cannot believe I was too shy at 23 (ME!) to tell you "Let's LOSE who we're with and PLEASE run away with ME!".
i don't pity many things but one of them is how most people don't know this band existed, much less this song. This one fits anywhere in any situation. Last call, sunset, failing relationship, staring out on a mountaintop, sailing, end of a job well done or the beginning of something special. I wish it got old i truly do. This tune dies harder than rock stripped by water.
Not sure what the hell it’s supposed to be about lyrically but it sounds pretty awesome. That main riff before the chorus kicks in during the verses with that flanger/chorus is super atmospheric. Reminds me of being in the forest at night in autumn weather.
@@needsmoreclipping Even though Deicide’s first two albums were more or less was Slayer on steroids and were highly influenced by Slayer’s 83-86 era and is what Slayer would have done after Reign in Blood had they not done South of Heaven. You have no idea wtf you are talking about.
From Wiki: "The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas à Kempis, is a Christian devotional book first composed in Medieval Latin as De Imitatione Christi (c. 1418-1427).The devotional text is divided into four books of detailed spiritual instructions: (i) "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life", (ii) "Directives for the Interior Life", (iii) "On Interior Consolation", and (iv) "On the Blessed Sacrament". .."
A lot of people can’t handle a song like this! You have to know who you are to write it. You have to know where you are to listen to it. You have to know why you are to understand it!
:(i'm 55 and remember when this came out.. I so wanted to see them in York PA this past Nov... my choices and covid conspired upon me... My health is fukked and my taste in music makes the day so much worse to endure just crucify me... **thumbs nose at Bruce**
This is exactly the music I want to hear when I stand in a line that I'm pissed off to stand in. Of course, the music is so much more profound than that to me. Thanks for leaving your channel open to comments! 👍
did you get any flowers today francois, me neither too. but i have the seeds for the multi coloured Roses from my good friends in China ages ago. I am going to send some to Francoise Paschal. like i did in 76, her dad Sascha was very displeased with me so i sent him my copy of the Pogues, Her father didn't like me anyway, good song, but only for the little green wheels following me again, oh no. bet her Dad was mad receiving that cassette tape very
Whoa - never heard this before despite being old and a fan of that era/ genre of music. I wonder if the guitar sound might have influenced The Cure to some extent. Lest anyone think I'm denigrating The Cure, I most certainly am not: huge fan then, huge fan now.
I'm not a big fan of the change in pace when they start saying "imitation of crist," but other than that it's great. I listened to all of their songs, and am planning on getting CDs of all of their albums.
Imitation of Christ is ultimately something to aspire to, but the irony of Thomas a Kempis being a Catholic, in light of what that means today, is perfect ground for an incisive song. ANTI-CATHOLIC but PRO-CHRIST
This song is 41 years old. Decades ahead of its time.
It sounds like a modern day indie release it gives off a current joys vibe
Just saw them in concert , songs been stuck in my head 🥰
I love em soon to be 51
I saw them at the Roxy in Hollywood during their FIRST US Tour, back in the day....
@@Elle.Cris.I tried seeing them twice and both concerts got canceled 😅 its the effort that counts!
When I was 21 I went on a road trip to pick up my cat im Texas and listened to this album the entire 2 day trip

Yes . I have
One of my favorite tracks, been listening to this band since the beginning!!

Masterpiece.
it's up for debate
Yes something of a masterpiece :D
Beyond a shadow of a doubt x
Absolutely.
I've always loved this song. The Furs' sound is so special.
My older sisters got me into this band when I was 15 back in 1980. Great record. I think it was their first? 🤔
Used to hear this when. My dad was still alive RIP DAD
Dig it.
i don't pity many things but one of them is how most people don't know this band existed, much less this song.

Beautifully said.
This is one of the best & most special debut albums ever .
Been listening to the Furs since I lived in England in the late seventies, magic then magic still!!!!!
If this song by the furs doesn't move you god save you!!!

clearly anti-religious
@@Punk_Philosopher So that puts The Psychedelic Furs in the same category as a band like Slayer or Deicide lol.
@@Punk_Philosopher Not at all. Maybe struggling with it but not anti-religious
@@infernicide666 Please don't compare Slayer with shit fest Deicide. ;)

I love how the vocals are not front and center and they share the stage with the instruments. Brilliant sound.

2 true
You are an imitation of a human being
What a load of shit you talk the tune is beautiful simple as that
@@craignuttall4197 Your exasperated resonance is an undeviating corrigendum!
Nice@@dawgbitejones284
This whole album is great!
fouund it new on cd a couple of years ago know it from when it came out glad I bought it
Agreed.
agreed, I bought a 1st pressing US copy on ebay the other day, am super stoked for it to arrive
They played this live in Tucson when I saw them live. Such a good song.
What a great band they are will never stop discovering how relevant these guys are
:(i'm 55 and remember when this came out..
I so wanted to see them in York PA this past Nov...
my choices and covid conspired upon me...
My health is fukked and my taste in music makes the day so much worse to endure
just crucify me...
**thumbs nose at Bruce**
Forgotten how great this album was. Bought it when it came out. I think I have the vinyl stached with some other vinyl.
This is exactly the music I want to hear when I stand in a line that I'm pissed off to stand in. Of course, the music is so much more profound than that to me. Thanks for leaving your channel open to comments! 👍
My favorite song by this band. Very evocative.
Top 10 band New wave 80 years 🎸🎸🎵🎵💥💥
my first intro to the sound of the sax in 79/80 was this record as well as the epic band Japan ....fucking brilliant
genius work
Uma das melhores músicas de todos os tempos. Fez parte da minha adolescência, numa fase em que estava me encontrando...
Viva las Musiques, Marvallhiso, Mi Vie vita 8 anos.

Absolutely beautiful

C90, it was, very slow slow slowed down to the hilt
Success, peaked at 23 secs at the speed of a tortoise's left leg. Right you got that
@@paulobrien7022 yer wot?
Really fantastic.
Is this from their first album I was muxch too caught up with Talk , Talk Talk to hear this like I'm hearing it now Nice gem sounding
This is the first album. 'Talk, Talk, Talk', the second album, was just fantastic. Both records still sound .... errrrmm.... fantastic !
@JHatLpool ..Don't forget their next album Forever Now as it's not too shabby either..
See you in Nottingham 2nd April 22
It's just so well-written both instrumentally and lyrically,i dont get why it's so unpopular
All the cowboys FALL !!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa - never heard this before despite being old and a fan of that era/ genre of music. I wonder if the guitar sound might have influenced The Cure to some extent. Lest anyone think I'm denigrating The Cure, I most certainly am not: huge fan then, huge fan now.
It's said that the sound of Pornography was largely inspired by this album.
U2 also
Oh you again!!!!
If your listening to this, then tune to the English Beat, very cool...
@joeceonnia1954 Well, yes, another good band, but very different from the Furs, surely.
I'm not a big fan of the change in pace when they start saying "imitation of crist," but other than that it's great. I listened to all of their songs, and am planning on getting CDs of all of their albums.
Influenced Sonic Youth

Nah
the entire album is this way, a tragedy
@@claytonvernon8793 Nah.

Richard Butler is my God
This song is about disillusionment with and loss of faith in the hippy movement, isn't it?
Worst song. Tear down Christianity that's original. Anyone wanna but some concert tickets?
oh now! i don't think that's what they're on about, eh?
@@catfree leave cat alone, pls
Butt tickets??
That’s the problem with social media: it gives stupid people a voice!!!
