"MY CURSE" IS THE BEST BALLAD OF ALL-TIME... MARCY MAYS' VOICE IS MAGNIFICENT... THE AFGHAN WHIGS ARE MAGNIFICENT... Lord, how this video doesn't have the number of views that deserves (= 1.000.000.000)? I just can't understand it!
when marcy hit that "ever" lyric at 4 minutes something in the video it literally sent a shiver down my spine... if that's not being moved by a song then I don't know what is...
Well said said whether it was 10 or 15 years ago ( well shit now that I do the math, 30 years ago).... This video served as an unexpected vacuum to my past in the early 90's....................... wow............................
Holy sh*t, I didn't think I would ever see a performance of this song. I am eternally grateful It is comforting to know that there are other fans like myself in this diminished world
amazing!!!! a very underatted group, i beleive "Gentlemen" was in the top 5 albums for 90s. Marcy is great in this beautiful song. great band , great musicians and Dulli is a legend. thats for sure!!!
What a perfect performance by Marcy Mays & the Afghan Whigs. As much as I love Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and all the other great music of the 1990s, this is the best song from the best album of the decade.
Oh....my...goodness.... I NEVER thought I would ever see this on youtube! I loved this song back in the 90's!! This album was the best soundtrack for any drama-filled off-and-on-and-off relationship EVER!!! Dm
Absolutely love the album, still one of my all-time favs, but this one song floored me. And while I can't relate to the subject matter personally, it puts you right in the middle of it, don't you think? It has that rare combination of notes and vocals that can just take your heart and soul to some other place...."enslave I only use, as a word to describe the special way I feel for you"..."there's blood on my teeth when I bite my tongue to speak"..."temptation comes not from hell, but from above"
wonderful song in a wonderful album. I was shocked by this song since the first time I listened to it. Marcy vocals are so passionate, such a great song...
The Whigs recorded the fist demo of My Curse in 1989. (The song was then known as Ciaphas). Same lyrics with a slightly faster tempo. Dulli sat on the song until Gentlemen. How Hey Cuz get on Up In It and My Curse and Sister Brother were left off is a great mystery.
This is my favorite song of any genre ever. Its so hard to find a studio recording that is emotional as the Gentlemen version of this. Its so funny to me that my favorite Whigs song isn't even sung by Dulli, who is the only man I have a man-crush on.
I wrecked this cd... my 9th cd featuring this song... worn away from playing... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS. That soulfull voice... the power of the lyrics...
when marcy hit that ever lyric at 4 minutes something in the video it literally sent a shiver down my spine... if that's not being moved by a song then I don't know what is...
Oh my lord !!! this is breathtaking ... nowadays no one , no one can make something like this , i never heard this band before but thanks fucking god that im listening to this right now ... mindblowing !

Powerful! "And there's blood on my teeth When I bite my tongue to speak"
still my fave whigs tune, and like the vast majority of commenters, gives me the chills every time, repeatedly, throughout the whole damn song. shit, it even makes my eyes watery.
Greg Dulli is a super awesome guy. He DJ's at The Echo every now and again here in Los Angeles... I met him and I felt like a little kid meeting an idol.
You hurt me baby I flinch so when you do Your kisses scourge me Hyssop in your perfume Oh, I do not fear you And slave I only use As a word to describe the special way I feel for you You look like me And I look like no one else We need no other As long as we have ourselves But I won't cry about it Every time you get obsessed Every time I came undressed All ugly thoughts are gone I'm sure we'll all be friends I'll try to break your back You'll try to make amends Curse softly to me baby And smother me in your love Temptation comes not from hell but from above And there's blood on my teeth When I bite my tongue to speak Zip me down, kiss me there I can smile now You won't find out ever Hurt me baby I flinch so when you do Your kisses scourge me Hyssop in your perfume Oh I do not fear you And slave I only use as a word to describe The way I feel when I'm with you If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed
Well, since I know this song (for more than 10 years now), it did not annoy me for a second... Perhaps I listened to it more than a 1000 times, and it still has this strange power over me, brings me so much energy... Is it the kundalini being tickled?... I dunno... Not very entitled to the subject I can tell you this enchanting song is certainly in my personal top 10!
Hard to believe this is 15 years ago.... where have the years gone? Brilliant song from the best album of a brilliant band. When the Wigs where on they were ON.
My god, it was done so perfect, like the CD. I love this song. I dreamed of this women who would hysop in my perfume. Beautiful, I will love this time in my life till I die.
Although I've never heard Scrawl before "My curse" I have to say this song makes me very curious about her songwriting. Her singing and commitment makes for an unnerving yet satisfing listen. I'm also glad I can finally see what she looks like!!

30 years later....im crying....carried me through lonely times...love this band
God tier song and performance. I've listened to this song hundreds of times over the last 30 years and it still hits me harder every time.
She sounds amazing live as always. Identical to the album. One of my fav songs
I was in that crowd somewhere. This song still sends shivers
I was in third row, rain or shine.
Bet!!!🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
"MY CURSE" IS THE BEST BALLAD OF ALL-TIME...
MARCY MAYS' VOICE IS MAGNIFICENT...
THE AFGHAN WHIGS ARE MAGNIFICENT...
Lord, how this video doesn't have the number of views that deserves (= 1.000.000.000)? I just can't understand it!
when marcy hit that "ever" lyric at 4 minutes something in the video it literally sent a shiver down my spine... if that's not being moved by a song then I don't know what is...
Bobby Rawson when she sings “bite my tongue to speak” gets me every time
"Temptation comes not form hell, but from above!" reaches the acme
One that comes close is Hole - Northern Star
Awesome
Greg Dulli IS a genius! What an incredible song. Raw, gut wrenching and bloody powerful.
Tears, fucks me up everytime,
Well said said whether it was 10 or 15 years ago ( well shit now that I do the math, 30 years ago).... This video served as an unexpected vacuum to my past in the early 90's....................... wow............................
WOW! I was there, near the stage. What a fabulous performance! Got dulli to sign the Gentlemen CD single :) will cherish it forever....
One of the best songs ever. Listening it for years and still makes me want to scream and smile and feel alive. Thanks.
Holy sh*t, I didn't think I would ever see a performance of this song. I am eternally grateful It is comforting to know that there are other fans like myself in this diminished world
Did we just become best friends? Lol rite on. I felt that too
We’re here together friend
She was the perfect choice for this song....how did they know??? This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!!
Just saw them play this with her on vocals last Thursday 4-12-2018 at CD the Vic in Chicago. F'N UNBELIEVABLE SHOW!!
How did she not become a megastar?
Bass in this is so deep it reaches my insides. Long live john curley
He is just so great. I feel the same way.
one of the best live performances i've ever seen. marsha mays ladies and GENTLEMEN...
One of the best videos on TH-cam. Im always shedding tears when i listen
One of my favorite songs of all time.
As a life long Scrawl fan, this just came into my mind a few days ago. Greg, you are great, but Marcy perfected this.
she sings "Hyssop" at perfect pitch. SWARE!
amazing!!!! a very underatted group, i beleive "Gentlemen" was in the top 5 albums for 90s. Marcy is great in this beautiful song. great band , great musicians and Dulli is a legend. thats for sure!!!
What a perfect performance by Marcy Mays & the Afghan Whigs.
As much as I love Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and all the other great music of the 1990s, this is the best song from the best album of the decade.
Afghan Whigs and Smashing Pumpkins
We were just lucky growing up in the 90s
beautiful ... still makes me cry every time
Oh....my...goodness....
I NEVER thought I would ever see this on youtube!
I loved this song back in the 90's!! This album was the best soundtrack for any drama-filled off-and-on-and-off relationship EVER!!!
Dm
Oh what a performance!!!! The pain is still real!!!! Amazing!!!!
I'm still in love with her voice.
Holy christ. One of my favorite songs, yet I'd never heard this performance. Thank you.
This band is in my top 5 favs of all time and this song has changed my life over and over...
My God she can sing... that nearly took my face off... amazing!
The best live performance ever
Absolutely love the album, still one of my all-time favs, but this one song floored me. And while I can't relate to the subject matter personally, it puts you right in the middle of it, don't you think? It has that rare combination of notes and vocals that can just take your heart and soul to some other place...."enslave I only use, as a word to describe the special way I feel for you"..."there's blood on my teeth when I bite my tongue to speak"..."temptation comes not from hell, but from above"
*and slave
This deserves 10 stars! Awesome!!!
I was there !! I remember it being amazing
This is so awesome, I have no words to describe the special way I feel for this song!
wonderful song in a wonderful album. I was shocked by this song since the first time I listened to it. Marcy vocals are so passionate, such a great song...
One of the most underated bands EVER. As well as a band called Catherine Wheel.
The Whigs recorded the fist demo of My Curse in 1989. (The song was then known as Ciaphas). Same lyrics with a slightly faster tempo. Dulli sat on the song until Gentlemen. How Hey Cuz get on Up In It and My Curse and Sister Brother were left off is a great mystery.
the afghan whigs are the greatest rock band ever!! \m/
Bad ass. I was very lucky to see these guys 3 times in the Cincy, Cbus area long ago. Some of the very best live bands I have ever seen.
Will love this song FOREVER. Amazing vid. Thanks for posting!
The Whigs new album is amazing.
I've watched this maybe 80 times .. Can't stop , these guys and miss Macy may are very underrated
This song kills me!
marcy mays folks..beautiful
This is my favorite song of any genre ever. Its so hard to find a studio recording that is emotional as the Gentlemen version of this. Its so funny to me that my favorite Whigs song isn't even sung by Dulli, who is the only man I have a man-crush on.
Best song I have ever heard. Can't wait to see them live again in the ATL!
Ive just booked tickets for edinburgh, feb cant wait
probably one of the best bands of all times... this girl's vocals are fuckin' amazing!!
they did it so well in '94 that they didn't have to do it again for 18 years
7 minutes of straight goosebumps wow. TAAAALENT
I wrecked this cd... my 9th cd featuring this song... worn away from playing... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS. That soulfull voice... the power of the lyrics...
what an album, what a beautiful song. Afghan remindes me both my youth and how a quality rock band must sound like
when marcy hit that ever lyric at 4 minutes something in the video it literally sent a shiver down my spine... if that's not being moved by a song then I don't know what is...
The most BEAUTIFUL, tale written on the IRONy of love. Devil/Angel.
"Temptation comes not from hell, but from above."
Truer words may never have been sung in a song, before or since.
So amazing. Thanks for posting.
Holy Lord! damn it! I wish music would come back. This is fucking amazing-
Couldn't agree more friend.
I also wish music as a whole would come back.
Still wishing....
Gives me chills every time I hear it. Marcy is amazing in this song. Big Scrawl fan.
I get goose bumps EVERY time I hear this song......
*chills*
Beautiful and raw! Hooked on it.
Thank you, thanks a lot for this gift... no words to describes how I feel about this song
singing this song all day in my head today
this song gives me the chills and reminds me of sweet and bitter memories.. the lyrics are simply amazing..
Goosebumps..proper music
Love the Whigs, amazing soulful band, Dulli is the Man!!
Amazing, such a powerful performance, blows me away every time.
One of the coolest songs ever! The music is awesome but the lyrics.. Kicks ass
Saw them back in late 80's at The Whiskey, what a great band. Their music touches my soul especially this tune with Marcy.
That's the 90s, kids !
Quintessential performance of one of the most amazing songs
From France with Love, bags of it! They were a well underrated band back then! This tune always made me emotional.
"You look like me and I look like no one else"
*.*
Oh my lord !!! this is breathtaking ... nowadays no one , no one can make something like this , i never heard this band before but thanks fucking god that im listening to this right now ... mindblowing !
Powerful!
"And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak"
I love this song!!!
Very powerful song. Amazing!

You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me
And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it
Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends
I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love
Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there
I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe
The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed
Wow, this is amazing. The vocals at 4:00 gave me goosebumps down the back of my neck. Great to catch up with an auld favourite from my youth.
Me too only eleven years later. This song makes me taste clove cigarettes.
this could be the perfect song
Sono d'accordo
So excited to find this video, the song is an absolute favorite 🖤💙 Thanks so much for sharing!
that performance gives me chills.
Pure bliss, thank you for the post. Long live the Whigs!
Well, since I know this song (for more than 10 years now), it did not annoy me for a second... Perhaps I listened to it more than a 1000 times, and it still has this strange power over me, brings me so much energy... Is it the kundalini being tickled?... I dunno...
Not very entitled to the subject I can tell you this enchanting song is certainly in my personal top 10!
I remember dragging my reluctant mates to watch the Whigs at Reading 94. I'm amazed this video has appeared on TH-cam! Thanks for posting it.
One of my favorite love song.. so deep and emotional
I was there!!! Awesome document!!! Thanks a lot
Adore this always have. x Little lass with the biggest voice.. x
When they play the "top 100" songs of all time on various radio stations during holiday weekends, etc., this song is NOTICEABLY ABSENT!
That guitar man.
Hard to believe this is 15 years ago.... where have the years gone?
Brilliant song from the best album of a brilliant band.
When the Wigs where on they were ON.
Its now been 15 years since this video was posted
I can smile now. you won't find out. ever.
I love it! Been a Whigs fan since day one!!!
I know I love her because she hurts me more than anyone else 💔
My Favorite Band Ever !!!!
One of the few songs I believe is better live than in a studio recording.
I was there! Seeing them there in 94 started me off as a lifelong fan
these are some of my favourite lyrics ever
My god, it was done so perfect, like the CD. I love this song. I dreamed of this women who would hysop in my perfume. Beautiful, I will love this time in my life till I die.
Although I've never heard Scrawl before "My curse" I have to say this song makes me very curious about her songwriting. Her singing and commitment makes for an unnerving yet satisfing listen. I'm also glad I can finally see what she looks like!!
She brings tears to my eyes.
