I don't want to appear as a radical figure, but this is a Posies song in my book. But it odds and ends of Big Star inspiration absolutely, too, the harmony vocals take you there.
I can't listen to this without seeing my friend ( who left this existence 5 years ago) he introduced me to this band years ago and when this album ( In Space) came out this was the first song he played for me...Fuck I miss him...
While the band at this point was half BS /half Posies, this tune is Posies all around, as Jon is not only is on lead vocal /guitar, but the song is also his own, and there's also Ken on backing vocals and bass...
Lady Sweet Don't tell me that I've gone crazy And your beauty is only in my mind For I can say That what I see Is so exactly what I need to find I might as well be losing sleep, for all the good it would do me When the fear of failing runs so deeply and truly Lady Sweet
Bought this one the day it came out, and did not have high hopes. within the first three songs my first thoughts were.."How in the fuck can he still be this incredible?"
The Posies are one of the bands who cite Big Star as having been a major influence on their sound. Two band members became part-time members of the later day line-up of Big Star with Alex Chilton.
So exactly what album did this come from and who recorded this version if there's more than one? This is what happens when you walk into the middle of a conversation.
From the album In Space. It was the Big Star comeback album with Jon and Ken from The Posies filling in for the late Chris Bell and absent Andy Hummell. It's my favourite Big Star song from that album. Not sure how much writing Alex did for it, as he was doing strange stuff of his own since Big Star. I'd say it's more written by the Posies than him
Master Debater Thanks. I wasn't familiar with the Posies before you mentioned them . I got curious so I started listening to their stuff. Hooked now. In fact, Burn and Shine is one of my most listened to songs these days Thanks.
In Space is a strange album. Jon and Ken are doing the Alex stuff of old, and Alex's contributions are his latter day nonsense, after his head had disappeared up his own arse. I mean, how bad is a song like "Love Revolution"? It's awful. I saw this version of the band live in Dublin in the early 2000s and Alex was a pain. Wanted to play rockabilly and weird stuff like T Rex's Baby Strange. Was pulling against his power pop brilliance. Jon and Ken had to fill the gap
Anyone else think this song should be considered a masterpiece?
Yes. However I consider it one of The Posies best songs. I don't believe Chilton contributed to it
I don't want to appear as a radical figure, but this is a Posies song in my book. But it odds and ends of Big Star inspiration absolutely, too, the harmony vocals take you there.
It’s a complete masterpiece. Snob talk aside. Ha I’m on my 10th Time listening
jon auer is the best on vocals ha
@@davebest2001 we covered this album with the posies on our podcast coming out tonight
I can't listen to this without seeing my friend ( who left this existence 5 years ago) he introduced me to this band years ago and when this album ( In Space) came out this was the first song he played for me...Fuck I miss him...
Ik I'm late but so sorry for your loss ❤️
@@enydee it's all good...
Just listened ten times.. RIP Alex.
Being any cooler than Big Star is not possible.... love....
This is more Posies than original Big Star, though. Anyway I do love this, too.
That's True Jeanne
That's the kind of music I'm in love with. And if it wasn't for Elliott Smith, I would probably never got to know this band. :)
Its good to get to Big star somehow!
While the band at this point was half BS /half Posies, this tune is Posies all around, as Jon is not only is on lead vocal /guitar, but the song is also his own, and there's also Ken on backing vocals and bass...
@@BilisNegra Well said. My thoughts exactly. Saw this version of Big Star live and all Chilton wanted to play was boring 50s rockabilly
Master Debater just interviewed them on the podcast i do with my friend about this album th-cam.com/channels/UK1GGptslwNopeL_7ymLdw.html
Same here, through Elliott Smith's cover of "Nighttime", my introduction to Big Star and still a favourite!
Lady Sweet
Don't tell me that I've gone crazy
And your beauty is only in my mind
For I can say
That what I see
Is so exactly what I need to find
I might as well be losing sleep, for all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deeply and truly
Lady Sweet
RIP Alex Chilton I will always be your big ⭐ fan! ❤❤❤
The production has an amazing roundness
Wow, awesome song, where have you been all my life??
It is actually Jon Auer from the Posies singing this. He probably wrote it as well.
Bought this one the day it came out, and did not have high hopes. within the first three songs my first thoughts were.."How in the fuck can he still be this incredible?"
+bunnyhead71 Who do you mean? Auer?
this song reminds of a girl that broke my heart and i still can´t forget her!that suck´s!
The Posies are one of the bands who cite Big Star as having been a major influence on their sound. Two band members became part-time members of the later day line-up of Big Star with Alex Chilton.
great song and a great fit for Jon's voice. Good stuff, cool song
Even though I don't like In Space at all, this tune is pretty great. Could see it being on #1 Record
And if it wasn't for The Cramps I would probably never got to know this band. :)
Basically a posies - song - excellent though
ALTERA HISTORIA DU ROCK💜
Playlist 8
the best
This song reminds me of you!
Anyone have any idea why “In Space” isn’t on Spotify?
that cadd9 to g and back to the verse... magic
Jon Hour's finest auer! ;-)
Ahhhh. It feels so goood...
its from IN SPACE
Why is there a photo of Alex Chilton when he didn't write or sing this song? John Auer did. Chilton might have played guitar on it, but that's it.
This may have been written by Auer, but it sure sounds like there is pre-Big Star AC linkage... (The EMI Song)
More Vintage Alternative FM Radio Differently
well elliott did cover "thirteen" by them so seems right.
About addiction,heroine is a hell of a drug...
this song will probably grow on me but boy do i lovee the beginning strum
This song reminds me of Elliot Smith
love big star. serious elliott vibes here
This sounds like Jon Auer of the Posies singing.
It is.
Well, in my opinion, many of those bands you mention are quite respectable for me.
Anyway, cheers
2 people weren't lady sweet.
This reminds me of Elliott Smith. I wonder who was listening to whom at the time?
Scott Boydle Elliott loved his Big Star that's for sure!
+Scott Boydle You mean classic Big star or The Posies? I assume he liked both, but well, let's point out this is an Auer/Stringfellow song.
+BilisNegra I did not know that. Great song.
Well, they were part of the reformed (mid 90's-2010) Big Star, and were essential to the band's new material.
+BilisNegra I don't mind The Posies. I have their Please Return It 5 track release.
Did Matthew Sweet cover this? If not, man he came close.
the lead of the posies did this one with 90s lineup big star
think it’s jon auer
What album is this on?
Big Star In Space
I am the Cosmos
This Mortal Coil does a version that rivals the original.
only 63 thousand views?
society needs help.
So exactly what album did this come from and who recorded this version if there's more than one? This is what happens when you walk into the middle of a conversation.

Thanks.
The other way round i think.
That's Syd. Really, can't any of you recognize him?
7 people hate there mothers?

Does anyone else think this song sounds like the posies?
or vice versa
Because it's essentially them! I don't mean the whole album is, but this track (among others) is Jon and Ken, and little else

Better than Sister Lovers. Wouldn't be hard
HOLY FUCK this sounds like elliot smith
