Lush were Miki Berenyi, Emma Anderson, Chris Acland and Philip King. 'For Love' is taken from their 1992 album 'Spooky', produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins.
'For Love' was also Lush's first Top 40 single.

Love the bass guitar, and the depressed jingly, jangly guitar sound that is similar in the Pixies, The Cure and Bauhaus. Such a distinct hallmark of the late 80's early 90's.
Weird how 2010's indie brought back the jangle but dropped the depression. (generally speaking)
@@Sam-go3mb Right! I guess depression was the wrong word. More like a melancholy message. This particular song has a daydreaming component one could get lost in. Either way, you are right, songs these days kind of lack that touch. Cheers to Lush!
@@ryanporter1819 Nah I get what you meant totally. There was something really....raw about the 90's sentiment; it was as if that generation knew something important was coming to an end...I'm not even quite sure what that something is, but I feel it.
the album was produced by robin guthrie of cocteau twins so it makes sense that it sounds like that.
Yes. When I listen to the guitar breaks- jingly, jangly, or clangy- I immediately hear The Sisters Of Mercy on their album: "First, Last, and Always." This cut of Lush
"For Love" especially has a guitar break very much in common in terms of texture, chord changes, and harmonics with the Sisters of Mercy from that period (as do many of theirs.) Like a lot of things, there had to have been cross-band influence of what each was producing and listening to. It's a beautiful and very influential sound. For those possibly unfamiliar, treat yourself to the entire S.O.M. album I'm referring to available in whole here on the tube. And I'm in no way saying one band copied another, just to say there was a "sound" going around during that period, a beautiful, irresistible style that guitarists no doubt heard and were influenced by and which made their way into their compositions.
Lush were one of the really great early 90's bands. Shoegazers !
Very true david ellis.
@Rolman80 80 So, because there were a lot of good bands Lush can't one of the greats? Logic fail!
Lush were just a bang average indie pop band. One of worst bands on 4AD.
@@mattmyers2863 I'm know 🍌
@@mattmyers2863 yes!
The harmonies are so soothing and sound like angels
Yes, perfectly angelic
Sirens
4AD is the best record label to exist. having introduced to us bands such as lush, cocteau twins, this mortal coil, bauhaus, ariel pink and many more. amazing
Don't forget Dead Can Dance!
I never understood how Slowdive never fitted there. Slowdive was made for 4AD not for the chaotic Creation.
Belly
And Pale Saints
I first heard this song yesterday and ive played it about 60 times.
Sweet!
Me too
Same here
I remember seeing Lush live at Lollapalooza in '92!
I've played it 65 times. Ha, I win!
Some classic, sweet melodic pop. Lush were really underrated
not really
Not by me!
They were always rated quite highly I believe but maybe a bit popularly under appreciated. Shoegaze and dream pop had effectively been subsumed by grunge, britpop, and the more punk-y sounding alt rock of the mid 90’s. Definitely a better sound than most of the rest of the 90’s.
@@njb1126 Your probably right, I just saw Lush as band with a cocuple of pretty big hits, but largely forgotten besides that, but I'm glad there's a strong fanbase.
I’m trying to get more into jangle, Shoegaze, and dream pop. Cocteau twins, Sundays (my favorite), Ride, Cranberries, Smiths, MBV, and now lush. A lot of under appreciated but great music.
I had a deep crush on Emma back in the early 90s. To me Emma was the cutest alt pin up girl.
Pretty little girl, she shines
Knowing she is young, she smiles
Happy just to be a prize
Happy just to see his smile
Silly little girl, she tries
Thinking she is good, and wise
Doesn't recognise the lies
Pouring from her lips, she sighs:
This is so real,
It's what I feel,
I look in your eyes and lose myself
Silly little girl denies
Every understanding why
Her face is full of sad surprise
Every time she hears him cry:
What do you feel
When you're with me?
I look in your eyes and see myself
But there's no connection,
Just his own reflection
Isn't this the way you wanted me?
(What do you mean?)
In love with you
(What do I feel?)
Do anything
(What do you mean?)
For you
She looked in his eyes to lose herself
And when it falls apart, she cries
Doesn't think to look inside
She just covers up her eyes
Doesn't see her own disguise
And though she feels this sorrow,
It will fade tomorrow
She'll pretend that this was really love
(What do you mean?)
She'll make their fall
(What did I feel?)
Seem beautiful
(What do you mean?)
She won't remember this at all
(What do you mean?)
She won't recall
(What did I feel?)
The truth at all
(What do you mean?)
She wants to fall
(What did I feel?)
Again
(What do you mean?)
holy shit
Amazing lyrics even today
Amazing and prophetic, sounds like women today
jesus i was listening to those words? that is some amazing lyrics. i love lush even more now.
I wish i knew what my mum did with my cassette of spooky. bloody mums all over the world have cost civilisation many millions of beautiful cassettes and cds over the years.
This hits hard
I know the MIki usually gets all the buzz, but let's not forget Emma!
Beauty in sadness. She’s got such a heavenly voice
TAKE ME BACK TO THE 90s!!!!
I want to go back to the late 70s / early 80s, but I'll happily stop here along the way.
The 90s were a magical time! So many great memories!! Lush, Stone Roses, Catherine Wheel, Blur, Verve & The Smiths always bring me back...
TAKE ME AS WELL!!
Thank you, Lush. You made the world a better place.
Drummer Chris Acland was definitely a Keith Moon Who fan. Can't believe it's been nearly 23 years since he passed, but the songs with his drumming will live forever.
He was only 30 when he passed. I wish he was still around making music.
he's one of the best
He is so fuckin hot 😍
This whole album is a tear joking emotional roller coaster. Still hits my heart and waters my eyes after 30 years. It was so great to be 21 in 1991.
That guitar and that harmony is literally how nostalgic sounds like
this sounds like something you'd hear twice on a lifetime. once accidentally from a radio on your teenage years and second from your children's playlist.
Heard this on BBC Radio 6 Music when I was about 17
thats really cool. wish ive had the same experience
I heard it from a torrent I downloaded 15 years ago, and again now when Pitchfork linked to this video in a review
Got this on the EP release when I was 17. All four songs are beautiful. Will play it to the young one see what she thinks.
You really cant say youre a shoegaze fan without have a good bit of lush in your playlists 🤟
i read that this later stuff is considered Britpop, I personally love all Lush to much to put any labels on it besides great ..
@@herchelleonwood7463well this album was one of there more shoegazy ones, this was their first actual album. This song does sound more like pop then the other songs on it though.
It was a decade when music deserved the name *MUSIC*
2022, 44 years old, I just discovered Curve and Lush today. I don't understand how it could have taken me so long. Happy I finally made it.
Just imagine what else is still out there waiting to be discovered!
I am the exact same age as you and discovered both in 1991 😊 yet it doesn't matter does it? The music hasn't changed - still glorious. And I envy you too, getting to hear them first time! Enjoy!
Cuckoo and Spooky are so damn good. Glad you found them and enjoy!
This was the gateway drug for my 90's from 120 minutes. Love this band.
The children of Cocteau Twins.😍👑🍁
thats what i think of!
Nepotism babies
This was so ahead of its time. Sounds almost exactly like the popular indie bands right now
No
says more so about how uncreative new indie groups are
@@bniddo Contemporany Indie is shit
@@Leopoldrodriguez8a yep ithe majority of it is dogshit. can blame the 00s bands who set the example of rehashing 20+ year old ideas instead of inventing new styles
It doesnt sound like the newer indie bands, the newer indie bands sound like them
I love the beautiful cherry red Rickenbacker 340/12 that Miki plays in this. She didn't play it too often; usually she played a Gibson ES335-12 or Epiphone Riviera 12. I have a Rickenbacker 330/12, and it is my favorite guitar.
I have a 330/12 too. I think I read the Ric got stolen, the Gibson suffered two headstock breaks (surprise, surprise) and the Epiphone was one of a limited Gibson custom shop release in the early 90s. In Piroshka she plays a Fender Strat XII and I read she thought the neck was a bit wide, saying guitar manufacturers don't accommodate female's smaller hands enough. I thought that'd never be a criticism that could be levelled at Ric 12 strings, but ironically she said at the time she thought the Ric neck was too narrow.
I tend to agree in both areas, despite the possible contradiction. I love my Mustang's narrow neck, but fitting 12 strings on virtually the same width is a bit squeezy.
Never heard of this amazing band. Thanks algorithm!
Such a lovely video for a lovely criminally underrated band. How can you not love them?
I'm just remembering how much in love I was with Emma Anderson and Miki Berenyi . My God they were Beautiful ❤
Always loved the way it started off all Sisters of Mercy with the "Lucretia-esque" bass-line, then went all gloriously Jangly Dream Pop....
Chris Acland, we miss you. R.I.P. you will never be forgotten.
If there was ever a song and a video worthy of remastering, this is it. Thank you infinitely, 4AD.
This whole album should be re-mastered. It meant so much to so many of us 90’s kids.
Miki and Emma were total babes!
Who the hell is down-voting Lush? What is wrong with you?? Just keep these video releases coming please - had no money in the early 90's but I did have Lush and lots of fun.
I still have no money. 😂
RIP dislikes
I was in love with Miki. My goodness she was gorgeous 😍 💕 💗
And still is
So aggressively obsessed with this song
My cousins were 15 years older and they always listened to rock bands so, it was something I learned from them. I didn't know most of the bands they loved but Lush was one as Throwing Muses and Pixies. I'm happy to remember how I used to live at 7, with this music nowadays.
You have good taste I also adore the muffs r.i.p. Kim

Woow, this gurl is a seducer who’s just playing with their feelings and covering her reality with naivety, regrettably she’s making herself think that she’s dumb and innocent... and that’s what she’s calling “LOVE”, narcissistic love I would say...till youth is over
Adam ya
I can barely express the feelings this song evokes In me... gorgeous truly
Thank you, Mr. Guthrie ;-)
pretty much the theme song of my loneliness and depression back in the 90s. still hits me right where I didn't want it to, but sometimes you have to pick at the old wounds, I guess
My favourite Lush song.
Simple, clean music for a more simple time.
Escuché está belleza de himno al espíritu hace 30 años y lo grabe de la radio a un casete . Perdí el casete y perdí el nombre del grupo y la canción, lo busque millones de veces y no encontré, nunca más volví a escuchar esta canción hasta que de casualidad un amigo lo puso hoy y lloré de la emoción. Cómo amo está canción , es nostalgia pura , es magia pura está canción himno de toda la vida . Sin miedo a equivocarme diría que es la canción más linda de todas ❤️! Gracias Lush de todo corazón , desde Perú .
Ohh a mí me sucedió los mismo hoy. La tararie en Google y apareció .la escuché en un casette pirata que están este tema al inicio y luego venían los temas de siouxie and the banches . Por fin la encontré saludos desde Chile
@@susancortes5019😮 que increíble! Saludos ! n_n✌🏼
Good album.🧖🧘
Miki is so beautiful
One of the best songs ever made
I vividly recall first time seeing For Love on 120 Minutes '91/'92 and being absolutely enthralled by the voice, look, and of course hair of Miki. Bought the cassette as soon as I could!
Me too!! I freaking loved this band! What an exhilarating sound, they had!
Not Miki's best hairstyle in this video, IMHO.
Me too. I went to Action Records in Preston and bought it on 12" single the following week
Emma forever ❤️️
"For Love"... one of my all time best singles from one of my Top 10 all time bands Lush 😍
Incredible band! 💖
Such an underrated piece of media
Man....I had the biggest crush on Miki back then. I bought Gala the first weekend I arrived at college in 1990 as a freshman. I was and still am a huge fan.
This song was my very first introduction to Indie Rock/Alternative Rock from waaaay back in the day, back in the early 90s. I got addicted to this particular song first time I heard it.
A masterpiece to say the least. As haunting as both the song and the vid are, I can never get enough. They'll never make magic like this again.
It doesn't matter whether it was here stateside 1992 on Dennis Miller's show or on global watch 2021 broadcasting on a 24/7 basis, the fact remains that For Love is in my Top 5 of all time. It is one of the best of all time. One of the most hauntingly beautiful and exquisitely mesmerizing videos in the history of recorded music.
You, my friend, are a connoisseur of the fine arts, aren't you
@@andrewmhurth9845 I am. And you, Sir?
MIki so damned gorgeous and talented.😍
We need more people like Miki.
God I love Miki so much. She’s absolutely stunning!
Since day 1, when I heard this song back in the 90s,,still gives me goosebumps. Hauntingly beautiful
Emma Anderson makes the group! She is an excellent singer!
Early 1990s. Suddenly I'm old. Shopping for CDs at HMV used to be one of the stops of going into town. The past never looked better than it does today.
I love Miki Berenyi
I love the way the song starts, this song is so amazing and no ones knows about it
Such a sweet Pisces connection....love
favourite song ever
Seeing this again makes me feel so old. Yet thrilled to go back to my years at UCB. A freshman at Berkeley .
Wow. 120 Minute classic! Miki....so gorgeous!
Berenyi was my number one crush when I was 21! I was obsessed with her and spent many a night either high or drunk listening to Lush.
Happier times.
The 90s were probably the best generation of people since the 40s. No fake social justice or fake environmental concerns, I just wanted to be a better person without any armtwisting
@@andrewmhurth9845 the 90s was literally the first generation when you could be LGBT without most people hating you
@@KratomFlavoredAdidas One thing that hasn't changed is that female musicians are still rated by their "hotness", their perceived beauty and desirability, while any musical ability and creativity rates a distant second if it rates at all. "'My number one crush"! 🤢
@@deaddoll1361 Nothong wrong with liking someone and I'm not "rating" her on her hotness... But I do think she is very pretty! But, it's not just about her because I absolutely adore Lush, have all their records, multiple autographs and much more merchandise of ALL the band members. So, yes, she was my "number one crush" but I don't rate that above her music. The two notions can sit on separate measures. I also thought all the Manic Street Preachers boys were gorgeous in their youth... And I also loved their music too!
@@andrewmhurth9845 The 90's were indeed an amazing time to be young! Nirvana, Manics, Britpop, Shoegaze and.... Yes... Even the Spice Girls!
The Smiths are my all-time favourite band. And I listened to them in real time. For some reason I never ran across Lush back in the 90's. But I'm sure glad I have now. I love this.
angelic
wow this is weird just yesterday i was looking for this video and couldn't find it now it is uploaded by 4AD itself
zakur0hako it’s on pornhub as well
Lovelife is epic album hugely underrated.
@@dasdead it is music porn so
the video uses the single/ep BAD2001 release of the song; remixed by Mark Freegard and Lush - the drums on this version were re-recorded from the version on "Spooky" - the bass appears to have less flange on it also .
And I thought I was a lush geek
Pretty melody ,excellent vocal.
I love miki
omg im watching this for the first time for at least 20 years, how could i have forgotten about this song and this band?
I was full on in love with Miki when i was 13/14. i can still remember the hours i spent "enjoying" photos of her from those music magazines (NME and melody maker i think they were called). A few years later i met a girl in Bracknell college who looked like her but she didnt want to know me.
I now live in China and my wife is local Chinese. i wonder if my early days of adoration for Miki's beautiful face influenced me in some way?
Love this song, love this band, love all the memories. Thankyou LUSH.
Ewe you pervert
erm she’s mine buddy back off 👿
I am loving the drummer's Mod/Jam shirt
Miki was so beautiful
Still looking for a girl like miki
One of my favorite bands from the 90's. I feel very fortunate to have seen them live in Sept 1996 and then again in Sept 2016 for their reunion tour.
I love this song
This song was on a CD that came with the first Sega CD release. I fell in love.
Beautifull music from a beautifull band. My cute Miki B.
my bloody valentine vibes
Chris rest in peace 🙏💔😇
I remember hearing the horrible news of Chris's death about a month after seeming him live in Sept 1996. Such a sad loss for his family, friends, and fans.
Really takes me back to the early 90's but still one of my favorite songs. Lush was insanely underrated.
So...damn... beautiful.
A superb pop song from a great band. Almost perfect.
Odd then that Lush didn't have stellar success. There were so many other fantastic bands going then, maybe that's why.
Not odd, par for the course I think. There were so many fantastic bands that didn't have stellar success, but that's the music industry for you.
One of my favourite female sang songs!
Miki is so gorgeous and the music is amazing. I love Lush so much.
esta es una de las canciones más bonitas que he escuchado, que increíble es Lush
Si, que increible
I remember hearing this song on alternative radio as a kid, but it was literally just today that I found out its name!
PERFECT 10!!
this is too good it makes me shiver
Keep posting these classic 4AD videos. 👍🏻
This was the only Lush song I knew until TH-cam came along. I regret I didn't seek out their albums back in the day.
For me this was pop's second zenith...I discovered Lush at the same time I first heard The Ocean Blue via the TBS series "New Alternative Express" in February 1992. I was in awe, instantly. I still feel the same goosebumps more than a quarter of a century later.
🎶Those were the days🎶---"Bravo LUSH"🎶🌹❤🇺🇸
Just heard this song for the first time on 'MTV Classic' a few days ago! I've been hooked ever since! ❤️🕺
please check out Lush's whole catalog , they have at least 10 really good songs and few bad ones,, SPLIT is my favorite cd by them but they are all good !!
Miki’s voice is heavenly
i love this song it just feels like ive known it for years;;
Phil rocking the Squier!
Saw them on a double bill with Ride Easter weekend 1991 in Chicago and me & my friend were Tripping 🙃🤘❤️👾 it was a beautiful evening!
Thank you * Lush * and Thank you * 4AD * for posting.
This is Absolutely Beautiful.
May GOD Bless you all. Chris ( RIP). Cheers
Without a doubt, pure perfection. The band, the song, the vid. All three sweetly haunting in their own right, for various reasons.
The aesthetic of the song and the video is so intoxicating. I wanna go there on a vacation
