I love this song beyond measure. "lurching and queasy" very good evaluation. Also I would call it frustration or axiety with want and need. This is my 3rd favorite song. Thank you Lou.
Robert Quine knew EXACTLY what he was doing with the lead guitar on this and Lou went with it. He absolutely MADE this album with his guitar chops. All credit to Saunders on bass, and Lou who wrote the shit, but FUCK did Quine completely nail the lead guitar and give this album the edge over everything Lou had made prior.
@@flip65515 If two dudes were ever not made for a long-term collaboration it was Reed and Quine. Lou notoriously could be a bit petty with people getting too much shine over him (see John Cale for several examples) and Quine was one of those cats who sabotaged most every working relationship he ever had. Matthew Sweet talked about Quine doing that in an interview years ago. Stupendous guitar player though....Richard Hell, Reed, Tom Waits, Matthew Sweet, Lloyd Cole, John Zorn.....he elevated the songs for those dudes every time he played with them.
@@grahamchapple3552 Congrats. The silver lining in experiencing all the visions, tremors, is that will forever be a reminder of how it's relatively good now.

I always thought this was about cocaine (or amphetamine) induced paranoia, but DTs are a similar experience, I reckon...based on what *other* people told me, and stuff.
just lou, just when you think you are safe, just when you are ok, get older and wiser, know what the life is about, lol lou turns up, and reminds of all things inside you, fecker, great though, rotting now, but still left a mark
Waves of Fear _Lyrics_ Waves of fear, attack in the night Waves if revulsion, sickening sights My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight Waves of fear, waves of fear Waves of fear, squat on the floor Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone Blood drips from my nose, I can barely breathe Waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave Waves of fear, waves of fear Waves of fear, waves of fear I'm too afraid to use the phone I'm too afraid to put the light on I'm so afraid I've lost control I'm suffocating without a word Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw What's that funny noise, what's that on the floor Waves of fear, pulsing with death I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell I know where I must be, I must be in hell Waves of fear, waves of fear Waves of fear, waves of fear Source: LyricFind
I listened to this album for the first time in one sitting, with no breaks, and left the experience with an absolutely reinforced belief I already had about Lou: he is one of the greatest rockers and songwriters to ever walk this planet. This song is wonderful, as is the album. Lou is like a God of music and poetry.
The lead guitar at the end is so brilliantly disturbing....I’ve never heard anything like it...what balls this guy had...I could just see the puzzled, worried looks on the record execs faces...
The guitar solo seems to come from the outside, but I think it comes from the inside. It'life itself getting out from the strings, with pain, but how powerful! RIP Robert Quine. Giuseppe
Myself and my mates have spoken about this many times, my man completely encapsulates a panic attack into a song. Anyone who says different is a motherless fuck.

Robert Quine’s slide playing is breathtaking.
I would describe it as "lurching" or "queasy" - that's a compliment. It does so much work setting up the terrifying atmosphere of the song.

Everything about Robert Quine is amazing

Too bad Lou mixed Quine right out of the following record Legendary Hearts out of jealousy.
so quine his missus died from od months later he necked himself could not live without his missus heroin
Lou inspired people. He certainly got Quine and it is amazing

Holy shit. Never heard this track before. Magnificent. R. I . P. Robert and Lou.
The powerfull of Lou's voice. The Genius of Robert. Awesome!
Lou's voice sounds almost exactly like Iggy Pop imitating Bowie
maybe his best track ever (as a solo artist).
Pretty possible!! This is a mfin anthem
Great song, but better than "Kill Your Sons", "Coney Island Baby", "Endless Cycle" or shit, any song off "Berlin"? No way.
@@danielwesterlund1905Lou's best songs are from Transformer.
I disagree. Loou had gems
There will never be a better song about withdrawal.

Waves of Fear
_Lyrics_
Waves of fear, attack in the night
Waves if revulsion, sickening sights
My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Waves of fear, squat on the floor
Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone
Blood drips from my nose, I can barely breathe
Waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Waves of fear, waves of fear
I'm too afraid to use the phone
I'm too afraid to put the light on
I'm so afraid I've lost control
I'm suffocating without a word
Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw
What's that funny noise, what's that on the floor
Waves of fear, pulsing with death
I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step
I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell
I know where I must be, I must be in hell
Waves of fear, waves of fear
Waves of fear, waves of fear

8-90s i have Waves of fear, not nice to have beliv me
lou is usually a master of monotone vocals, but these are really expressive. definitely works for the song. one of the finest of his solo career
imho Lou's vocals are better on the live version of this song, the 1983 Greenwich Village gig
I listened to this album for the first time in one sitting, with no breaks, and left the experience with an absolutely reinforced belief I already had about Lou: he is one of the greatest rockers and songwriters to ever walk this planet. This song is wonderful, as is the album.
Lou is like a God of music and poetry.
Yep
such power
Il più bel solo del rock Lou the best
2nd best bowie i pop
Brilliant.

Being 52 years now, I feel like I am back being 18. Thank you Lou, RIP.
I'm 58 now, you would be 59. Hey Hey Hey
RIP Lou

Yeah it's magazine permafrost
Yes! The distortion and guitar tone throughout this album is GENIUS! 💥. Miss you Lou. 🙏🏻

I'm Geeking to this right now
Aren't we all? Perfect tune for day 5
Sung so true!
Que cancion del carajo , gracias amigo lou.
Es ist schön zu hören wenn man ähnliche Gefühle hat.Es ist nicht für unsensible und verschlossene Menschen komponiert und gesungen!
Robert Quine Rules!
Nobody comes close to Robert Quine. My favorite guitar player when I was 15, my favorite guitar player at 32
he passed gone deaaad now i sing play better
Great Track & Robert Quines playing on this is out of this world.
He totally nailed this -
HE WAS RAW ❤ SO HONEST.
It's like the guitar player is scratching the strings with an iron nail, but it works, goddamned!!
a rusty nail
champagne in the veins
Robert Quine, yes it works
Robert Quine❤🎸
Magic.
Sounds like me on
Sunday mornings
Best rocker post Elvis. Fuck-- Lou was Elvis. Lou was God.
Great stuff. How you feel after ..
Questo disco the blue musk è molto sottovalutato
I know those waves of fear.
Enhorabuena por el vídeo.
❤
Whenever I think of the current state of politics in America, I keep coming back to this song.
What is it that makes this album so heavy? So strong, so powerful?
I lived in the cold war. Death could come at ANY time by nuclear weapons. This is a song about that world.
Loves you since my 16 ans
