All rights reserved to Mogwai, The Orchard Music, PIAS and Chemikal Underground. This is the CD version of Mogwai fear Satan, last song of the album Young Team (1997).
This song makes me want to kick life in the balls and tear down walls. I want to sprint into fire and swim through ice. Shit, this song makes me want to live so much.
from shona's website: "Another highlight was playing with the mighty Mogwai at Glasgow Barrowlands to two sell-out audiences! It was a fantastic experience to play with the band I first recorded with when I was 13."
Holy batshit, what are these guys smoking? This track popped up on my Pandora a while back and at first I was amused at the title. Thought I'd give it a minute and see where it went. It kept going and going and going and I knew I had to buckle myself in for this ride. Had no idea when it would end. I don't do drugs but felt like I did when it was finally over. The joy of discovering new music like this is what keeps us going. At least for me.
If you ever get the chance to see them live, do so and make sure you absolutely buckle in for the ride. They will take you to the stars and back on an amazing voyage. Honestly can't recommend enough.
I've seen them live about 10 times. There's always nervous trepidation waiting to see if there's a flautist along for the ride that night. Either way this song will never die.
i remember once, working nights at jcb plant, radio 1 on the speakers and the moment when machinery got quiet for a while and mogwai fear satan occured. i had a 16 minute thrill.
After living 65 years and experiencing the whole discography of Sonic Youth & Fugazi, playing a Telecaster myself, I now discover Mogwai. I am giddy with the prospect of getting to hear their musical voice. I will take suggestions on the order to which one should experience their albums.
Probably too late, but I think chronological order is the best way to go every time (with books as well) if your focus is the author. Especially in this case, I recommend starting with Young Team, then Come On Die Young, Rock Action, Happy Songs For Happy People and so on. I think those four albums are essential to understand how their sound changed so much through the years.
This track, in fact - this album, was a game changer! People say TalkTalk's last two albums were 'Post rock ground zero', then i hear that it was Bark Psychosis - neither sound like this, although they are both excellent bands (Talk talk's last two albums anyway!). I have heard similar, mostly German music from the 70s and Rhys Chatham and Glen Branca from New York (late 70s/early 80s), oh - and Fushitsusha etc from japan (late 70s/80s/90s/00s/10s but this has such melody inside the noise. Symphonic noise. 'If the stars had a sound, they would sound like this'...
@ross666ssor Ross, glad I could help buddy. I've been ill and music that we listen too helped enormously. It's is good to keep tabs bro. You never know when you might really require it bro. You're welcome 😊
Weird, at the time I never heard much cosmische stuff being mentioned regarding mogwai, despite the obvious similarities, just lots of people talking about the US bands between Slint and Fugazi who were far more distant.
This song instantly turned me into Mogwai fan but then I became disappointed because nothing they ever made then came close to the pure catharsis that is this track
+Ivan Malek Hi, big Mogwai fan here. I understand what you mean. This track is like their post-rock opus magnum, but... have you tried New Paths To Helicon P1 and Superheroes of BMX. The first one has the biggest climax I have ever heard. It literally pushes tears out of the eyes. The second one on the other hand is very unusual post-rock track - my personal all time favorite to be honest - which has an amazingly addictive sound and structure. Check it out if you haven't yet. Cheers mate.
Im going to survive being alone and by myself Im going to end searching to find someone or some meaning Its just the way it is slow and dreary i need to flow along with it like a dead fish Ive got nothing to proove Nothing to loose so much to do Yet nothing to look forward to Im going to stay and dwell Untill it takes over me I m not letting this chance go by Let go Loosen up Catch its hold Tear it apart
Excellent but even the album version doesn't even come close to seeing it live, as with any of their songs. Definitely a band you need to see at least once in your life
I have seen Mogwai more times than any band apart from The Fall. Fear Satan is immense! I saw them at the Queens Hall in edinburgh on The Happy Songs For Happy People tour - I was on a balcony at the back of the hall and I felt a breeze on my face, started looking around for an open window or door and then it hit me, quite literally...It was coming from the speakers that 4 of them were standing in front of. Saw them last night at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow and they were fantastic as per usual, although the mud was a pain in the ass, i forgot about it very quickly. And yeh, The Cure headlined but not for me!
Greetings from a fellow Mogwai and Fall fan. I also wallowed in the mud at Bellahouston Park but fuck was it worth it ! Living in Orkney I have to choose my gigs wisely.
This is a masterpiece. I’ve heard it so many times, live and album. Picked it up in my thirties and completely in love. Turned my wife to metal after she saw rhem live in Utrecht (though they did not play this song). Young Team in itself is a groundbreaking album. Very, very good.
This is one of the songs that marks a certain time/event in your life. It cinematizes a specific point and imprints on your memory forever. I was on a plan when I first listened to it and all my surroundings went away. A year or so later I was leaving one city for a new career halfway across the country. This song always reminds me of those last few weeks when everything was right but also anxious regarding an enormous change. It's exciting and tense in the way only post-rock can be. Enormously moving track.
"The curse it lives on in their eyes, the mariner he wished he'd die, along with the sea creatures but they lived on, so did he...." i can't help but sing it in the beginning of the song.... Iron Maiden fans will understand!
+Umang Dhawan I have never seen people sush each other at a live performance! Everyone was just standing there with closed eyes, it was sincerely divine...a hell lot more than what i expected it would be. Although i wished they had played White Noise.
This is a fantastic song by Mogwai, but go to many of the live versions, like the BBC's Quay Sessions...man, it's just beautiful. Still fearing in September, 2019...
I recently finished my Ballyhass camp and everyone there was so kind and I have no idea why but this beautiful song reminds me of all the kind people there. Thank you Saoirse, Rowen, Aaron, Sam, Aoife, Ava, Fintin, and everyone else who was nice. ❤❤
Probably because it's a British TV series. Chances are it wasn't aired anywhere else. Go watch an episode or two, I believe they're on TH-cam. It's a comedy just to clarify.
thank you mogwai! i love this track so much. i dont know how but as soon as i listen to this, my messed up brain is... mh clear, free dont know to discripe. it just feel good! like medicine haha. thx!
This song makes me thing of Piping down the valleys wild, by Blake: Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of peasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he, laughing, said to me: 'Pipe a song about a lamb!' So I piped with merry cheer. 'Piper, pipe that song again;' So I piped: he wept to hear. 'Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; Sing thy songs of happy cheer!' So I sang the same again, While he wept with joy to hear. 'Piper, sit thee down and write In a book, that all may read.' So he vanished from my sight; And I plucked a hollow reed, And I made a rural pen, And I stain'd the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every child may joy to hear.
+Abraham Uitzil “Uitzi” post rock, rock experimental o progresivo sea cual sea, estas bandas me llenan de alegria y esperanza q la musica puede aun evolucionar y crear maravillas complejas y artisticas sin llevarlo a lo simplon y comercial
Played this track for my dad once. He didn't like it. Said he didn't want to hear the same chord progression throughout the whole song or something like that. He hated aphex twin too haha. He was a musician himself and when i visited him in 2017 he acted quite snobby towards my taste of music as if his opinions were relevant. Anyways, i wish he was more open minded. Maybe we'll jam out to some mogwai someday.
Just marked it up( to use an expression)I reckon not only has it aged well it is also a masterpiece .There is an under current to it inspired by Satam whom they feared thats why it's so good
"Dingus and Ladydragon" I didn't choose love. I chose you instead and everything you contain. I think about painting your portrait to get me through the snow. I'll save as many tears of sorrow so they may be tears of joy instead. Beating hearts of color dancing fewer shades of red. Yellow, grey, black, tan, turquoise, rosequartz, bright cyan. An Infinite sea of offspring to the colors blue and green.
Mogwai should have made a music video for this, exactly like the stand off scene in Tenacious Ds Tribute, except that in response to Satan...they play this song; and Satan stands there for awhile waiting for something to happen, then shakes its head slowly and starts walking away, and while the guitarist continues to jam away on the same 3 chords and the little girl plays her little flute counter-melody, Satan slowly disappears down that long, lonesome road, and when after 16 minutes, it finally disappears from view, the band celebrate with high-fives all round, because it was their spirit, and hope, and teamwork that won the battle
This song makes me want to kick life in the balls and tear down walls.
I want to sprint into fire and swim through ice.
Shit, this song makes me want to live so much.
same fellings (y)
Ever looked at the meaning of the word "Mogwai"?
You f****** right !
yay
Lee Bacott gosh jee wizz sorry your not ! Ha
I had to become nearly 50 years old to listen to this song for the first time today. Nevermind, what a wonderful experience.
It's beautiful isn't it. I was 45 when first heard it training in the gym. I did extra reps!
40 😊
I heard it as a teenager when it was first released. Now I'm in my 40s.
You've over 20 years of awesome music to indulge in.
Enjoy.
44 for me, just turned today 😄
It's one that makes you feel alive.
The flautist in this song, Shona Brown, played her part when she was only 13! Crazy!
That's insane! Makes me appreciate her playing even more.
*flautist
Incredible.
from shona's website: "Another highlight was playing with the mighty Mogwai at Glasgow Barrowlands to two sell-out audiences! It was a fantastic experience to play with the band I first recorded with when I was 13."
"a panther in the lions den puts a hen in the fox house."
,dan'
Maybe their best track !
This tune is an anthem for all youngsters from the late 90's.
This sound is unique.
So true!
Coming of age time for me. Nerdy 16 year old. Still adore this track and always will. Outstanding
the whole album is just a build up for this epic track.
Tucker Foster exactly my thoughts on this album as well lol
Holy batshit, what are these guys smoking?
This track popped up on my Pandora a while back and at first I was amused at the title. Thought I'd give it a minute and see where it went. It kept going and going and going and I knew I had to buckle myself in for this ride. Had no idea when it would end. I don't do drugs but felt like I did when it was finally over.
The joy of discovering new music like this is what keeps us going.
At least for me.
I can guarantee you its not just you.
Mostly just buckie
If you ever get the chance to see them live, do so and make sure you absolutely buckle in for the ride. They will take you to the stars and back on an amazing voyage. Honestly can't recommend enough.
try it WITH drugs…
I once brought a total stranger to a Mogwai show.
These are the kinds of selfless acts I live for. !
How did it went lad ?
Man I need to hear this story, that is just awesome.
Did you warn him about the supersonic wall of noise they were able to make?
@@hollandaisvolant9943 of course not. That's best experienced un-prepaired
There is a message in this song -- a unique message for each individual. Listen closely and you will find it.
Must...
Hug...
Everyone...
Bunch a gays round this part of youtube...
Max not enough*
Max u need to fear Satan
That was a beautiful comment.
I've seen them live about 10 times.
There's always nervous trepidation waiting to see if there's a flautist along for the ride that night.
Either way this song will never die.
But you will.
@@fabian.escudero Hardcore!
Man, I have seen them live four times and never got to see this one live. Would love to one day.
Only saw them once. What’s a flautist though?
@@kodimah8577 flute player, for Mogwai Fear Satan
Satan fear MOGWAI
Truth!
i remember once, working nights at jcb plant, radio 1 on the speakers and the moment when machinery got quiet for a while and mogwai fear satan occured. i had a 16 minute thrill.
After living 65 years and experiencing the whole discography of Sonic Youth & Fugazi, playing a Telecaster myself, I now discover Mogwai. I am giddy with the prospect of getting to hear their musical voice. I will take suggestions on the order to which one should experience their albums.
Take me somewhere nice on rock action is an amazing song also death rays + the album for my parents by mono
Chronological order will do just fine. Enjoy. Don't forget the EPs too
Probably too late, but I think chronological order is the best way to go every time (with books as well) if your focus is the author. Especially in this case, I recommend starting with Young Team, then Come On Die Young, Rock Action, Happy Songs For Happy People and so on. I think those four albums are essential to understand how their sound changed so much through the years.
New Paths to Helicon pt 1. This is the song I will be burnt to.
A year later but go to The Hawk Is Howling album - my favourite of theirs
This track, in fact - this album, was a game changer! People say TalkTalk's last two albums were 'Post rock ground zero', then i hear that it was Bark Psychosis - neither sound like this, although they are both excellent bands (Talk talk's last two albums anyway!).

thank you for reminding me about bark psychosis
and glen branca oh yeahhhh thank you thank you

@@dr2599 off the cuff. probably i was in a hurry. Although stuff such as Pathetique touches on the bleaker side of Mogwai...
I'd have to say, and put my neck out, possibly one of the greatest songs ever written. Period.
In fact the whole album is a masterpiece.
True
Someone really needs to upload the full album.
Coopal kayo😅😅😅
That feedback, reigning in the anger. Just.
*reining. Unless you meant the feedback was just barely ruling in the realm of anger, in which case ....STET.
one of the best 3 chords song ever
no, one of the best post-rock song ever
no, one of the best instrumental song ever
one of the best song ever
The Fugazi channel on Pandora brought me here. I’m forever thankful.
This song instantly turned me into Mogwai fan but then I became disappointed because nothing they ever made then came close to the pure catharsis that is this track
did you try gybe?
Lachlan Musicman I'm talking about Mogwai, not post-rock

Ivan Malek Well their slowcore stuff is based too. But I see what you mean
There is a lot of suggestions here, for me I find My Father my king giving the same pleasure, the wake up and live your life bitch feeling.
The flute is my favorite part of this song. It gives the song a whole other dimension
The girl who played the flute was only 13 at the time of recording. Even more amazing.
It brings you between worlds, that flute.
None of the live recordings I've found include the flute which sucks because it's the best part of the song.
Im going to survive being alone and by myself
Im going to end searching to find someone or some meaning
Its just the way it is
slow and dreary
i need to flow along with it like a dead fish
Ive got nothing to proove
Nothing to loose
so much to do
Yet nothing to look forward to
Im going to stay and dwell
Untill it takes over me
I m not letting this chance go by
Let go
Loosen up
Catch its hold
Tear it apart
Excellent but even the album version doesn't even come close to seeing it live, as with any of their songs. Definitely a band you need to see at least once in your life
Totally! I saw them in Mexico City and the show was F awesome!
i've seen them 3 times in a row already - what a blast!!
saw them twice, im gonna keep going to their concerts if i could

where has this been all my life
absolute masterpiece
I think Satan in all myriad evilness should fear Mogwai. Light and beauty through music...
I don't think I need to go to heaven now, this piece has show me it already...
I 💕u
I'm a big fan of Mogwai but I don't know anyone else who appreciates this shit. :(
i know that feel
Me too.
I'm not a big fan of Mogwai but this epic is one of my favorite songs, this is really masterpiece!
We know that at least 51.000 people like this. I think that's a lot.
Pedro Furtado At least more than I thought! I really appreciate this interest for their music :)
When I die , avenge me , and play this loud .
You dead yet?
anaalst I screamed 😂
I can't wait that long

This song is a masterpiece. God I love it so much.
At nearly 20 years old this still makes my mind depart. Sublime.
heard this live at NH7 Weekender last night. Incredible music! Takes you in a zone of self-realisation. So happy to have discovered Mogwai.
I know right? But they are so under appreciated.
+adya sharma I know. Not everyone appreciates good music. Give them yoyo honey Singh and they're happy 😂
+Umang Dhawan I was there too! NH7 Bangalore... Blew my mind!!
+Umang Dhawan I have never seen people sush each other at a live performance! Everyone was just standing there with closed eyes, it was sincerely divine...a hell lot more than what i expected it would be. Although i wished they had played White Noise.
+Vishan Seru just listened to White Noise. Amazing!
holy crap, just realised, that this track is 20 years old!
Just like me from this day on xD
I know, sucks to realise that we're the old ones now!
You are welcome to the club. 👍
I love you Mum I know your watching over us x
I’m sorry for your loss but I sure am glad you’re here, Chris.
She is.
Love Mogwai. Love this song. It does remind me alot of Smashing Pumpkins - Silverfuck 7 minutes in
bang bang you're dead
The most beautiful noise of my life. I love this album, I fucking adore this song. Pure adrenaline.
This is the best...and tonight in Madrid was really the most beautiful thing I,ve ever heard...
Lo he perdido 😭
made my day dude! rainy yet awesome
This is the opposite of a doomer anthem.
It brings me hope
Never gets old.
A powerful song in all meanings.
essential Mogwai... soft, loud, louder.. and then soft again... and that magic flute
This is a fantastic song by Mogwai, but go to many of the live versions, like the BBC's Quay Sessions...man, it's just beautiful. Still fearing in September, 2019...
聽了十年 依然熱血沸騰

Mogwai....sheer beauty of guitars played at their finest! See them live and cry with joy or piss yer pants with joy 😂....the choice is yours.
satan fear mogwai
As beautifully disorienting as ever
Instantly adored this first time I heard it on the Bluestone 42 Christmas Special episode. Thank god for the SoundHound app!
You'll get used to it apparently. He's from Leeds.
This track is a blessing as well as a curse.
Because... Is there a better song out there? I'm not so sure.
This is sublime !
Bluestone 42, the best show to exist in this world, sent me here.
Never heard of it .. can't be that good :/
Probably because it's a British TV series. Chances are it wasn't aired anywhere else. Go watch an episode or two, I believe they're on TH-cam. It's a comedy just to clarify.
No thanks.
John Arundell Ignorance
Beautifull
still chills me to my bones.... masterpiece
This has carried me through so many of my hard times! Mogwai you have not heard the last of me.
A pure MASTERPIECE
Top shelf,. Music for every moment in life..
its like Low but less drone and more precise drumming. absolutely beautiful.
these guys are so great live in concert!!!!!

About 20 years now and still rocking. Long live Mogwai.
best song ever written ? maybe aye.
They are SO loud live!!!
너무좋라서눈물남요
First time hearing this and I REALLY dig it
This song makes me thing of Piping down the valleys wild, by Blake:
Piping down the valleys wild,
Piping songs of peasant glee,
On a cloud I saw a child,
And he, laughing, said to me:
'Pipe a song about a lamb!'
So I piped with merry cheer.
'Piper, pipe that song again;'
So I piped: he wept to hear.
'Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe;
Sing thy songs of happy cheer!'
So I sang the same again,
While he wept with joy to hear.
'Piper, sit thee down and write
In a book, that all may read.'
So he vanished from my sight;
And I plucked a hollow reed,
And I made a rural pen,
And I stain'd the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs
Every child may joy to hear.
Masterpiece.
What a final track this is. Phenomenal climax
This is the fastest 16'19'' track I know
esplosione della mente
This song calms my soul.
This. Song. My goodness.
all of you comments mean nothing, you wish this and that. have you seen them live? they don't need a fucking singer. pure spiritual experience
cacusuli I was fortunate enough to see them in 2009 in the district of Columbia. Very good show, very loud.
Post rock del pasado; lo mejor esta por venir; viva si eres de habla hispana y te gusta fear satan

Marko El paso the name of this song is mogwai fear satan not fear satan :)
Me pasa lo mismo que smashing pumpkins hermano.... Algunos instrumentales.... Artistas de verdad
hypnotizing
1 word for this - EPIC
Mogwai great great great masterpiece track ever
Played this track for my dad once. He didn't like it. Said he didn't want to hear the same chord progression throughout the whole song or something like that. He hated aphex twin too haha. He was a musician himself and when i visited him in 2017 he acted quite snobby towards my taste of music as if his opinions were relevant. Anyways, i wish he was more open minded. Maybe we'll jam out to some mogwai someday.
My Dad who hates anything made after 1962 liked EP when it came out.
I've always wondered that when they wrote this song if they sat back and thought fuck yeah now we can die happy
Just marked it up( to use an expression)I reckon not only has it aged well it is also a masterpiece .There is an under current to it inspired by Satam whom they feared thats why it's so good
Noise is awesome!
When those three chords first come in it sounds like they're scraping the stratosphere.
Play this song and let Foreplay last until it ends.
Then what?
this song sounds like the final battle that you dont want to lose
What’s a word for way beyond SICK
Definitive version!
And we have liftoff!
I just found out that the girl I’ve been trying to get over since we broke up 6 months ago got married last month. This song is how I feel
classic Mogwai
A man, neigh, a DOOB! showed this to me. He knows what my heart needs to hear
*Mogwai feat. Satan
he has a mean vocal hook
their best song
Na, Tracy. This a close 2nd
happy 20th birthday
Nate Loves Mogwai
"Dingus and Ladydragon"
I didn't choose love. I chose you instead and everything you contain. I think about painting your portrait to get me through the snow.
I'll save as many tears of sorrow so they may be tears of joy instead. Beating hearts of color dancing fewer shades of red. Yellow, grey, black, tan, turquoise, rosequartz, bright cyan. An Infinite sea of offspring to the colors blue and green.
