You need to listen to Marcy's Playground (their first album) and Guster's Parachute Album. Just as something I KNOW you would enjoy listening to. No need to make any video on either one. Both bands are pretty unpopular, but are extremely talented. Everyone deserves the joy of hearing both of these albums for the first time.

Ah, Gavin Rosdale. How all of us 90's girls loved him. I was lucky enough to be in the front row when I saw Bush in concert (the tour with No Doubt), he was incredibly beautiful. I haven't heard this song in years and it's making me feel so nostalgic that I have tears in my eyes. Glycerine, I guess, sort of represents a moment in time for me. Reminds me of my first love, of being young and carefree, of driving around in my first car singing along to the radio with my best friend. Good times. 😻
It's time for you to react to "Lightning Crashes" by Live. They're another 90s band with a singer who has a surprisingly powerful and unique voice. It taps into emotions on a primal level.
@@aussiechris9111 Haha, I literally, just now, watched that Woodstock 99 video for the first time... almost wished I didnt. He was utterly, painfully beautiful. Oh god.
Another "post-grunge" band is SILVERCHAIR. Still criminally underrated. Daniel Johns is an amazing vocalist and songwriter. You should check out his live performance of "After all these years" - just him on the piano. A beautiful song (with some really weird chord progressions).
This album brings back so many memories. When it came out, my best friend and I drove an hour away to a record store and picked it up. On the drive back, we picked up a hitchhiker. We basically jammed to the album and talked the entire drive back. After dropping the hitchhiker off, we drove around rest of the day late into the night with the album on repeat. Shane & I both were musicians but our life paths were having us go in different directions. I moved 1000s of miles away and he met his maker. Every time I hear anything by Bush, this memory is the first of many that flood back to remind me of all of the good times he and I had over the years as friends. RIP Shane.
I used Columbia House(mail order CDs that I'm sure you remember)to buy my first Bush CD then it got stolen :( so I went to the record store to buy another.
I’m so sorry you lost your best friend. He’ll always be with you. When you hear a song that reminds you of him, he’s probably letting you know he’s okay.
Ya know who is kind of overlooked, is the band "Live". I was obsessed with the song "Lightening Crashes" when I was a teenager in the 90's. It starts out soft and slow then just builds and builds. I love it. Very emotional song. I loved Glycerine too when I was a kid. But this made me remember "Live" for some reason. The entire album "Throwing Copper" is soooooo good. And yea this Bush album was great too.
That immediate smile at the start is so pure, and so clear we've made Elizabeth a Grunge fan. Gavin Rosedale really does so much wiry Grunge singing, and here it's helped by the band making something so grungy yet melodic
I saw Bush open for Live last year. I had no idea at the time. Bush stole the show. They blew it out of the water. Gavin was all over in the crowd, the bleachers, the loages, everywhere. So much energy and a fantastic performance. I always liked Bush. I was there to see Live. Wow, what a show!
You've got to watch the bush performance from spring break '96 Hurricane Bertha was barreling down on Panama city. It was raining like crazy everyone was leaving Gavin walks out and goes if im going out this is how im going out, and starts to play glycerine by himself. Greatest performance ive ever seen.
It was such an amazing performance, the crowd was getting rowdy before due to the rain interrupting the show, and there was concern they may get out of hand if they didn't do something quick. His performance brought the crowd to heal . He commanded their attention and got everything under control.
yes it was during MTVs spring break 96' you can hear in his voice as he sung how nervous he was cause of the risk of electrocution he was facing while on stage playing guitar
Gavin Rossdale gritty voice with the violin in the background is a beautiful dichotomy. Also, Gavin Rossdale wrote the song about his then-girlfriend, Suze DeMarchi, Glycerine is a chemical used in perfumes, medicines and also to preserve food. The title comes from the explosive applications of glycerine to stabilize nitro. Gavin Rossdale said the song was about how love was like a bomb.
SWALLOWED will blow her away. It is the best of their repertoire. "Just want to be myself... hey you said you would love to try some... caught in the middle of a world on a fish hook... you'Re the wave, you'Re the wave....!
Another little fun fact is some glycerine is made using pork products and glycerine's sometimes used in candy so some candy are not considered edible by Jewish/Muslim people.
Glycerine as in glycereen is how the British pronounce it. So glad you are doing Bush. Gwen Stefani and Gavin were married for about 10 years. They have two kids. As much as I know without looking it up.
Gavin has an additional daughter, Daisy Lowe, who he didn't know was his until she was like 15. This was discovered while he was married to Gwen Stefani, but Daisy was born long before Gavin and Gwen got together.
Such a great song. This song was litterly EVERYWHERE back then, and for good reason. Bush and Gavin are really talented, and the meaning in the songs would always hit home.
I don't know how to word this, but I'll try. I've watched your videos for a long time, but I had to comment, finally. Your reactions - from your giddy joy, your understanding of the parts of a song that just makes you ACHE - make me feel so much less alone. I bought a Bush single many decades ago, probably in my teens, and Glycerine was on it as a B-Side. I listened to it on my compact CD player (yes, I'm old) in my mother's car, and when the strings kicked in, I cried. In that moment, I had never loved a song more. In the years since, I have loved many songs just as much, fallen for many vocal inflections, many strings, and cried many times over the way that nothing will ever understand my heart like music does. The way you react to the tiniest details makes me feel like I could talk to you forever about music. It makes the teenage me from 30 years ago feel like she wasn't just a big idiot whose intense emotions were weird. She thanks you. I thank you. Let's continue to allow our heartstrings to sing in response to beautiful music. ❤
I would have been a bit older, but the first song that felt that way for me was the Concrete Blonde version of "Tomorrow Wendy". I had just bought the album and driving down a mountain road, and when it reached that track the chills and thrills that went through my body were marvellous. May everyone experience these types of feelings.
It wasn't until Elizabeth commented that there "still aren't any drums" that I realized there aren't any drums in this track. I've heard it countless times and never really thought about it, the track doesn't sound lacking without them so I never noticed.
I am not sure why you guys always go for music that is down the line of the performers catalog? If she hits Live she needs to start with Beauty of Grey.
@@kerianhalcon3557 Lightning Crashes was a huge breakout hit on radio and MTV. For many of us, it was the first Live song we heard. Definitely the first music video by them we saw. It was for me as well, though I got the album and listened to the hell out of it. Had a roommate in college with the Throwing Copper CD as well and we once queued it up on both our stereo systems and played the whole thing all the way through, as synced up as we could get it. Fun times. ;)
@@gfox9295 My first Live songs were on SNL Both from Throwing Copper, not sure which songs, I wanna say I alone, and Selling the Drama, but my friends and I went to the Columbia House catalog and bought the album a few days later. Obviously Lightning is their best song but you gotta work up to it. My point is that we were ROBBED! We should have been listening to Live 3 years earlier with Mental Jewelry, and why would you want to rob her of that as well. She should be starting with their first. And now I am seeing that we were robbed even worse as they apparently released an album even before MJ that I have never heard of before now What The Hell!
@@kerianhalcon3557 You have a good pick, but remember, she's a vocal coach. It's not necessarily about picking the "best song", but the song that best exemplifies specific techniques. "Lightning Crashes" has minimal instrumentation, with all the focus on the vocalist. And it's such a slow build, she can easily point her audience to a specific section and have viewers understand what she is pointing out. As complexity builds, and more layers of nuance are introduced, it can lose utility for her channel's purpose. "The Beauty of Gray", while a fantastic song, exemplifies a technique that she's already covered many times before. She'd love that song, you can definitely hear some heavy Meatloaf influence in it, and she's all about that. But from the perspective of technique, it's not bringing anything "new" to the table. Also, I think the subject matter of "Lightning Crashes" with the bitter-sweet mirroring of birth and death will hook her on an emotional level. And objectively, it is the more popular song with the masses. It got the most radio play when it came out, was a staple of all their shows. So her audience will knows it better, which means more views for her channel. But I get what you're saying... Imagine my disappointment when she picked "Ace of Spades" for a Motorhead review. It was their most popular song, but not even remotely their best, or even very representative of their style. It should have been "1916", "Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me", or "God was Never on Your Side". But she has to go with what people know. This channel is a business that's all about teaching technique, not just jamming out to the best tunes.
I turned 30 in the '90's , and the first time I heard this song,it spoke to me. My heart, soul and mind loved it. Bush has some great songs, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Gavin Rossdale is a beautiful human with a beautiful voice.
My son was 13 when I took him with me to see Bush and Goo Goo Dolls in ‘97. Today is the 9th anniversary of my son’s death and running across her reaction a few days late was still right on time for me considering this date and the fond memories I have of enjoying that concert with my son. He wasn’t into them at all then ha, I think he was into Metallica back then, but he humored me and we had a great time.
I went to a show in Hampton VA on that tour. I was in eighth grade at the time. Went with my dad and brother. Later that year we saw green day. That was my brothers and I favorite band at the time.
Wow, was totally not expecting this one! Bush is such a great band and it's nice to see it show up here. Glycerine is a beautiful song and I'm sure your analysis will do it justice. ❤❤❤
SWALLOWED will blow you away. It is the best of their repertoire. "Just want to be myself... hey you said you would love to try some... caught in the middle of a world on a fish hook... you'Re the wave, you'Re the wave....!
Yes super pumped on this one. You can't discuss this particular era of music without Bush. Now just waiting for your analysis of Live. I Alone is the perfect song for this channel
18:22 This part is one of my favourite moments in all of music. Everything you say about the strings, the intimacy of the lyrics, and that breathy, wistful sound he adds, all spot on. It's just beautiful, and gives me shivers every time.
When you check comments under different uploads of this song on yt you can see how much it means to people. They always mention someone they loved, someone they lost, something that happened to them that was not easy... And this song kind of helped them through it, or reminds them abt their loved ones. It's beautiful.
This song encapsulates the 90s for most of us who came to age during this time. Words can't express the feeling I get listening to this song even to this day.
That "needed you more, but wanted us less" lyric,. gah what a knife to the heart. We've all been there. This is one of the best breakup songs. My inner me that is still in my 20's is sobbing uncontrollably now.
I was in 6th grade the first time I heard this song. Our band director had a band and they let us out of class early and we all filed into the middle school gym. I remember hearing this song and being amazed by how beautiful it was!! As soon as I could, I went to Sam Goody (remember that store?!) and described it to the employee as best as I could and he brought me right to Sixteen Stone by Bush. I went home popped the CD into my stereo and spent all day in my room listening to the album, reading the CD jacket and lyrics...those were the days! 💕
I can't deal with Glycerine turning 30 this year lol That MTV Spring Break live with Gavin singing alone in the dangerously pouring rain? 15-yr-old me was in love lol
I saw them in concert in a small club, when I was stationed in Italy during the mid 90s. They do an amazing live show. Hearing this song live was one of the highlights.
For reasons I’ve never understood, that instrumental outro has always had a direct line to the very core of my person. Drives the song home with an absolute gut punch of hopelessness and grief. OOF, every single time.
The ending strings hit the same emotional chords with me that certain parts of Myst did. I don't think that it was an accident that they were contemporary.
Bush's debut album Sixteen Stone (where this song comes from) was a huge success. Glycerine, Machinehead, Come Down, Little Things, and Everything Zen were all major hits back in the day. They had a few good follow up albums and songs, but that first record was where most of their success came from. Machinehead was probably the biggest hit. Both Machinehead and Come Down were featured in the 1996 film Fear with Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, and Alyssa Milano.
Yep. Compared to a lot of other CDs I got in the early-mid-90s and only ended up liking 1 or 2 songs... that was a CD purchase WELL worth the cost for how many great songs came with it. ;)
@@gfox9295 Bush's Sixteen Stone, Nirvana's Nevermind, Alice In Chains Facelift, and Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream. 4 killer grunge albums that don't really have a bad song on them.
@@randomhockeyguy9149 Because of all the people requesting Live for this channel soon(TM), I was thinking of Live's Throwing Copper as well from the same time period. And really, ANY Alice in Chains album or EP. ;)
I was a missionary kid, which means that I grew up very strict and had very little access to music or to the real world. Every year we had a big conference with all of the missionaries and none of them wanted to watch their children so they would arrange daycare for a week. One year a girl who was probably only 17 came with her church and she hung out with all the middle/high school aged kids and we did crafts, events and hung out. Before she left she made individual ripped CDS for each kid she hung out with, some were pop, some rap, some a mix. What she gave to me changed my life, and I do not exaggerate when I say that Bush's Glycerine warped me into who I am today. Whoever that woman was, I wish her the best in all the world.
I love how you've done a deep dive to really, truly understand it. And through that it's actually teaching me things I didn't know growing up in that era
I love the contrast between his gritty voice and guitar and the sweetness and softness of the strings and melody. This song is one of the most romantic and yearning songs I have ever heard. Thanks for making a video on it ❤
The thing I love most about your channel is the proof that Genre doesn't matter.... its just a label we apply to try to categorize music. If its good music.... its good music!
Exactly! I hate it when anyone “struggles” to fit a band into a genre. Just let it be! Good music is good music no matter what label is slapped on it. My favorite bands tend to not fit into a specific genre, dynamic and unpredictable!
I was at a Bush concert in Chicago many moons ago and Gavin grabbed a wireless mic and was wandering through the aisles singing. Everyone was absolutely fawning over this man.
what do you think got Gwen hooked? They were on tour together and that was it; imagine having to be around Gavin and/or Gwen during 1997...the sexual energy was thru the roof during live shows
Memories of pausing and rewinding this CD over and over to dissect every word and intonation... I never knew that was a core memory until being reminded while watching this video, that THIS was how I listened to this song for hours.
That's a great concert. Best one I saw in that time period was probably Garbage opening for Smashing Pumpkins in Philly. Must have been July 5th or 6th of 1996 according to a tour dates list I'm looking at... it was just a few days before Jonathan Melvoin (their touring keyboardist) died of a heroin overdose July 12th... same heroin the drummer was on, but he made it through that period. Anyway, the event cancelled/delayed many tour dates after that (no shows between July 10th and August 23rd), including NYC dates for the 13th forward that were moved months later. Wild stuff that summer.
Saw them in 1996 on Valentine’s Day, when I was 16. No Doubt and Goo Goo Dolls were with them. It was a big deal for everyone at my high school, and a great concert. Was with my gf, this was our song. She died in a car crash 3 years later…her life ended like this song ends, I often think. RIP Ashley.
I think that was the longest I've ever seen you go into a song without saying anything. That was enjoyable watching you enjoy a first listen. Keep up the good work!
I was in high school in the late 90's (Class of '99 - Woo)... and had SUCH a CRUSH on Gavin Rossdale... Bush was my first stadium rock concert when I was 15... such wonderful memories of me and my two best friends smoking cigarettes in the bathroom like we were so cool and fan-girling so hard at this band. This takes me back and I love it!!! 🥰🥰🥰
This was a song I shared with someone I loved a long time ago. It sort of became our song. Over time, we drifted apart and then one day we stopped talking all together. I hope wherever you are Diane you are happy and that your life has been filled with joys, happiness and the love you deserved that I couldn't provide.
This was our song too (high school gf and I). I had my hair like Gavin back then and played guitar (still do), and one day I played that song for her in our school talent show. After graduation my family moved us to the west coast and we had to break up. Decades later, my mom had cancer and in her last days, when she was in the hospital, I saw a nurse walking in the hallway and there she was, it was Sandra. We hugged, and out of respect to my wife and her now husband, I never told her she was the one who got away, but I'm sure she saw that in my eyes when I looked at her. This song is a trip back in time and I often still play it on my guitar.
This is so hilarious to watch your videos and how excited you get when you hear a grunge era song that's good. What endears me most is the validation of the music I was living and loving in the early 1990's. There is such a huge library to choose from and I don't know all that you have covered, but if you haven't listened to the soundtrack of SINGLES, then you'll know how and why so many of us were hooked. Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, Paul Westerburg and more all on one album. Happy hunting and thanks for your sincere reactions.
3 years ago or so I went to a Bush show in rural North Dakota for less than a hundred dollars and secured a spot front row center. I didn’t expect much and didn’t think they’d put much into this crowd. Now I’m a pretty seasoned rock concert goer and they were right up there with the best I’ve ever seen. Gavin is a phenomenal frontman. If you get the chance fucking GO!
Saw Live and Bush when they toured together a couple years ago and it was such an amazing concert! Super excited to see you have a Bush song! Machinehead or Everything Zen would be a great compliment to get the other side of Bush.
I think the fact that this is so musically clean and clear really helps push it into more of a post-grunge song than straight grunge. And there's nothing wrong with that. Some of the greatest rock from the 90s and very early 2000s was post-grunge.
Post-Grunge can be cool, but if her goal is to broadly "get Grunge," she is literally missing/ignoring the bulk of the sounds that established the genre. Unfortunate.
I know that it's hard to believe that some people have never actually listened to music like this, but it doesn't take away from the genuine happiness that we all probably went through when these songs first came out. I enjoy vids like this.
Videos like this one is why I love this channel. Been a Bush fan since the mid 90s and I LOVE watching someone experiencing the same emotional response to this music. Glycerine is absolutely beautiful, and a very special song. Gavin may not be the "best" singer- whatever that might mean,- but I absolutely agree he has an amazing voice and he is absolutely phenomenal at what he does.
Also the song Mouth, the stingray version. Original is hyper grungy, but the stingray version oozes sex. And you forgot maybe one of the best ones....Swallowed.
Thank you Elizabeth for helping me re-experience this song. Your insight, knowledge, and excitement for music is infectious and heartwarming. Please keep doing the awesome work you do. Both inside and outside of TH-cam.
Nigel Pulsford (guitar) did the string arrangements for Bush and I think that was a big part of why the strings work so well for them. They were written as a part of the song rather than being written to add to it. Gavin’s also still one of my all time favourite lyricists.
They definitely suffered from oversaturation with a couple of their singles. Not being able to get away from a song turns people against it real quick.
I don't know that they were underrated. Maybe played too much. They headlined Blockbuster Rockfest in 1997 at Texas Motor Speedway with about 400,000 in attendance. It was great fun.
I don't personally mind when people call them grunge because they're obviously influenced by it, but for the sake of generational accuracy, it's relevant to note that Bush actually represents the _foundation_ of the "Post-Grunge" genre (alongside bands like Silverchair, Candlebox, Live, etc). There's some more nuance in what qualifies one or the other mostly relating to marketing, polish ('radio-ready'), and the timeline of popularity relative to "The Big 4" of grunge. Anyway. Grunge and post-grunge are both such a gorgeous, intimate era for rock that always connects with people, even still. Love it.
@@Trepanation21 ok gotcha. You see post grunge to me has some of my favorite bands such as creed, staind, Shinedown, silverchair too! But I think post grunge has song writing that is a little bit more straight forward and less metaphorical. But I think the main thing that separates the 2 genres are what year the band started. And bush was 1992 which I would consider to be grunge
@@chanceroberson7517 well, some purists won't consider it grunge unless it's from Seattle AND from the right time and so forth and so on. I've always been a huge STP fan and even though they're from SoCal, they feel like they belong with Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam to me, so... call it whatever you want, it's 90s music that I loved then and still love now and that's good enough for me. ;)
Sign up on the waitlist for my upcoming Grunge course here! thecharismaticvoice.com/great-grunge-course-interest/
Bush is technically post-grunge, but back in '96, sixteen stone was one of my favorite records.
Don't get too enamored, he cheated on his wife Gwen Stefani with his nanny.

The live MTV spring break version in the rain is goated.
As a pure golden age 1995 grad, trust me on this one.
Worth a 2nd video.
I was there Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago when this song was released and you couldn’t go 5 minutes without hearing it on the radio.
Which wasn't a bad thing, considering the crap we hear on the radio today. :)
The last of those songs that I remember hearing way too much was Staind's It's Been a While. Then Radio kind of... died off... at least in my life.
😊💖
Yup. This, Down by 311, Spiderwebs by No Doubt, and Closer by Nine Inch Nails.
😂😂😂
It's crazy to me how watching someone listen to an iconic song for the first time that I've heard hundreds if not thousands of times and watching them fall in love with a song that had become juat background noise to me, and by watching them fall in love with the song, it somehow makes me fall in love with the song all over again.

It's hard to believe she had never heard this song before.
I feel like she is closing in on The Smashing Pumpkins, and is going to love it when she finds them lol.
Yessss Smashing Pumpkins my favorite band!!!
I feel a vocal analysis of Smashing Pumpkins would be sooooo interesting!
She's gotta do Zero first then 1979.
Mayonaise!!!!
I was thinking the same. Since she loves strings.
When he sings "I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time." he summarizes the feel of this song so well. At least for me; it gets me every time.
Yes.
This line epitomizes the life of a mom.
Candle box - far behind
Live - lightning crashes
You gotta listen to these two to round out the full grunge experience!
Still needs Smashing Pumpkins too.
I second Candlebox. I only came here to comment Candlebox. Far Behind is great!
And this stuff is kinda more shoegaze than pure grunge
I'd even like Candlebox - You. Brings me back
both those stink
Ah, Gavin Rosdale. How all of us 90's girls loved him. I was lucky enough to be in the front row when I saw Bush in concert (the tour with No Doubt), he was incredibly beautiful. I haven't heard this song in years and it's making me feel so nostalgic that I have tears in my eyes. Glycerine, I guess, sort of represents a moment in time for me. Reminds me of my first love, of being young and carefree, of driving around in my first car singing along to the radio with my best friend. Good times.
😻
Agree with everything you stated!
Exactly! This song is like a time capsule, and Gavin was so hot it was unreal. 😁
I have No Doubt. 😏
It's not Gavin, I always refer to him as Mr Stefani, now the former Mr Stefani.
They are touring now. Great show!! Bush is always consistently good live. They are on my list for bands to always buy the ticket!
Everything Zen, Swallowed, Comedown, Machinehead, so many spectacular songs from Bush!
My favorite is the remix of Mouth from the American Werewolf in Paris soundtrack.
Comedown was my first introduction to Bush so it had a special place in my heart
@@lumpypickles Comedown hits me different too... The lyrics just grab you.
Greedy Fly too!
Little things is my other favourite
"This is my first time digging into Bush, and lets dig deep" how is it possible to say that with a straight face? well done
Beat me too it....!!! 😂
Amazing. This is the comment I came here to write...
I came here for this 😂
I would say, "In hindsight, mistakes were made." I'm not sure mistakes were made though.
Great minds.....
Bush - (Machinehead) or (Comedown) is more of what you originally thought you was going to hear.
I second Machine Head and Comedown. Also Everything Zen
Yeah the grunge ballad sounds like a ballad. I love the Woodstock 99 live version of this song
Forgot Machinehead, great song.
Or Little Things.
Both really good songs, personally love "Little Things."
It's time for you to react to "Lightning Crashes" by Live. They're another 90s band with a singer who has a surprisingly powerful and unique voice. It taps into emotions on a primal level.
One of my soft spots too, so many great albums and songs.
Indeed!
Yes please!! Now I gotta go listen to it.
I saw Live live. ❤ Got to go backstage too 😊😊😊 Such good music!

@@aussiechris9111 😂 true
I was at Woodstock 99. Bush was a phenomenal closer for the first night.
Another "post-grunge" band is SILVERCHAIR. Still criminally underrated. Daniel Johns is an amazing vocalist and songwriter. You should check out his live performance of "After all these years" - just him on the piano. A beautiful song (with some really weird chord progressions).
They were very talented and real young when they began, and another great band from Australia!
They were all 15 when they recorded Tomorrow 😮❤
Untitled from the Godzilla soundtrack is incredible.
Emotion Sickness is a masterpiece. The first two albums were great grunge records, but the third one Neon Ballroom is my favorite.
First word Thai popped in my head at silverchair.... Frogstomp
This album brings back so many memories. When it came out, my best friend and I drove an hour away to a record store and picked it up. On the drive back, we picked up a hitchhiker. We basically jammed to the album and talked the entire drive back. After dropping the hitchhiker off, we drove around rest of the day late into the night with the album on repeat. Shane & I both were musicians but our life paths were having us go in different directions. I moved 1000s of miles away and he met his maker. Every time I hear anything by Bush, this memory is the first of many that flood back to remind me of all of the good times he and I had over the years as friends. RIP Shane.
I used Columbia House(mail order CDs that I'm sure you remember)to buy my first Bush CD then it got stolen :( so I went to the record store to buy another.
I’m so sorry you lost your best friend. He’ll always be with you. When you hear a song that reminds you of him, he’s probably letting you know he’s okay.
I’m sorry for your loss
@@ScaryPoppinsShhh,be quiet, I still owe them $ lol!!😅
@@TomHudson00 Shane sounds awesome, thank you for telling us about him and sharing this memory.
Ya know who is kind of overlooked, is the band "Live". I was obsessed with the song "Lightening Crashes" when I was a teenager in the 90's. It starts out soft and slow then just builds and builds. I love it. Very emotional song. I loved Glycerine too when I was a kid. But this made me remember "Live" for some reason. The entire album "Throwing Copper" is soooooo good. And yea this Bush album was great too.
Secret Samadi as a whole is a fantastic album too! Lakini's Juice is such a dark sounding song
@@jeffreydavid6794 same
LIVE got me into rock, and into music. I was never the same after Throwing Copper!
Throwing Copper with Lightning Crashes, I Alone and All Over You looping. That album is what Ten is to Pearl Jam.
Throwing Copper has so many bangers on it
1986-1994 was the greatest era in music as a 54 yr old. Alternative Rock was at its peak during those years.
yeah I feel sorry for anyone who didn't grow up during this time
add 95-97
Hard to disagree. The late 90s and 2000s music went to poopoo
Could tell you loved it immediately because that’s the longest I’ve ever seen you go without pausing.
That immediate smile at the start is so pure, and so clear we've made Elizabeth a Grunge fan. Gavin Rosedale really does so much wiry Grunge singing, and here it's helped by the band making something so grungy yet melodic
This song will forever be legendary for the MTV Spring Break performance in the pouring rain. It might be the most iconically 90's scene ever.
Gavin alone in the rain on an electric guitar. The were my favorite grunge band back then and I was so pumped watching that live.
Elizabeth…you MUST watch this performance, pure iconic!!!!
I forgot about that! So freaking good!
That!! That performance was grunge…
We were always ready to be sad or angry or both at the drop of a hat back then.
Grunge was sweet, warm overdriven guitars, solid rythm sections, great lyrics and painfully beautiful voices.
I saw Bush open for Live last year. I had no idea at the time. Bush stole the show. They blew it out of the water. Gavin was all over in the crowd, the bleachers, the loages, everywhere. So much energy and a fantastic performance. I always liked Bush. I was there to see Live. Wow, what a show!
That sounds like a really good concert
I saw Bush a few weeks ago. They crushed it. Then I saw Live open for STP last week, and Live was awesome, much better than STP.
You've got to watch the bush performance from spring break '96 Hurricane Bertha was barreling down on Panama city. It was raining like crazy everyone was leaving Gavin walks out and goes if im going out this is how im going out, and starts to play glycerine by himself. Greatest performance ive ever seen.
I second this, it’s the Best performance, aired on ‘96 MTV Spring Break
“If you stay out here, I’ll stay out here”
Yep
It was such an amazing performance, the crowd was getting rowdy before due to the rain interrupting the show, and there was concern they may get out of hand if they didn't do something quick. His performance brought the crowd to heal . He commanded their attention and got everything under control.
i came here to say this
yes it was during MTVs spring break 96' you can hear in his voice as he sung how nervous he was cause of the risk of electrocution he was facing while on stage playing guitar
Collective soul- The world I know.
Yes, this. The video is killer too.
And December!!
Every song by Collective Soul!
Collective Soul is so good and never gets any love. “Why pt2” and “Run” are two of my faves.
So fucking 90's and I love it so much.
Oh man, experiencing Bush for the first time… that’s magical. Thank you for sharing this.
Everyone remembers their first time
Gavin Rossdale gritty voice with the violin in the background is a beautiful dichotomy.
Also, Gavin Rossdale wrote the song about his then-girlfriend, Suze DeMarchi, Glycerine is a chemical used in perfumes, medicines and also to preserve food. The title comes from the explosive applications of glycerine to stabilize nitro. Gavin Rossdale said the song was about how love was like a bomb.
SWALLOWED will blow her away. It is the best of their repertoire.
"Just want to be myself... hey you said you would love to try some...
caught in the middle of a world on a fish hook... you'Re the wave, you'Re the wave....!
Is Suze DeMarchi the singer from Baby Animals?
If so, then she's amazing.
Always wondered what the muse was for this song.
Another little fun fact is some glycerine is made using pork products and glycerine's sometimes used in candy so some candy are not considered edible by Jewish/Muslim people.
@@Oleoay i was literally eating haribo schtroumpf / smurf jelly candy 5 minutes ago and knew this was not halal
Glycerine as in glycereen is how the British pronounce it. So glad you are doing Bush. Gwen Stefani and Gavin were married for about 10 years. They have two kids. As much as I know without looking it up.
Three kids
Gavin has an additional daughter, Daisy Lowe, who he didn't know was his until she was like 15. This was discovered while he was married to Gwen Stefani, but Daisy was born long before Gavin and Gwen got together.
If I remember correctly it was after this album release and during touring that Gavin and Gwen became a thing.
So the proper way then.
@@Syncop8rNZ Haha - but of course. Actually I wouldn't know I am from the country in US but do get my fair share of UK podcasters and musicians in.
Iconic album that everyone owned. Pearl Jam, Live, Bush, Counting Crows, DMB, etc debut albums in the early 90s were iconic.
Such a great song. This song was litterly EVERYWHERE back then, and for good reason. Bush and Gavin are really talented, and the meaning in the songs would always hit home.
Funny how I never really considered this ‘grunge’. By the time this came along it was just ‘90’s rock’ to me. 🤷🏼♂️
@CorePathway Yea,makes since.
I don't know how to word this, but I'll try. I've watched your videos for a long time, but I had to comment, finally. Your reactions - from your giddy joy, your understanding of the parts of a song that just makes you ACHE - make me feel so much less alone.
I bought a Bush single many decades ago, probably in my teens, and Glycerine was on it as a B-Side. I listened to it on my compact CD player (yes, I'm old) in my mother's car, and when the strings kicked in, I cried. In that moment, I had never loved a song more.
In the years since, I have loved many songs just as much, fallen for many vocal inflections, many strings, and cried many times over the way that nothing will ever understand my heart like music does.
The way you react to the tiniest details makes me feel like I could talk to you forever about music. It makes the teenage me from 30 years ago feel like she wasn't just a big idiot whose intense emotions were weird. She thanks you. I thank you. Let's continue to allow our heartstrings to sing in response to beautiful music. ❤
I would have been a bit older, but the first song that felt that way for me was the Concrete Blonde version of "Tomorrow Wendy". I had just bought the album and driving down a mountain road, and when it reached that track the chills and thrills that went through my body were marvellous. May everyone experience these types of feelings.
It wasn't until Elizabeth commented that there "still aren't any drums" that I realized there aren't any drums in this track. I've heard it countless times and never really thought about it, the track doesn't sound lacking without them so I never noticed.
Lmao ...you literally took the words out of my mouth
So much bass it doesn't need it.
Same! ❤
🤯
I had just realized there were no drums in the song either until like... A week or two ago.😂 I was like, "Wait a second! 😮👆
Immediate chills at the start of that intro riff, I’m back in London -98. Insane.
Can wait until there's a Lighting Crashes - Live discovery and review.
I am not sure why you guys always go for music that is down the line of the performers catalog? If she hits Live she needs to start with Beauty of Grey.
@@kerianhalcon3557 Lightning Crashes was a huge breakout hit on radio and MTV. For many of us, it was the first Live song we heard. Definitely the first music video by them we saw.
It was for me as well, though I got the album and listened to the hell out of it. Had a roommate in college with the Throwing Copper CD as well and we once queued it up on both our stereo systems and played the whole thing all the way through, as synced up as we could get it. Fun times. ;)
@@kerianhalcon3557 for many of us Lightning Crashes is the only Live song we ever heard
@@gfox9295 My first Live songs were on SNL Both from Throwing Copper, not sure which songs, I wanna say I alone, and Selling the Drama, but my friends and I went to the Columbia House catalog and bought the album a few days later. Obviously Lightning is their best song but you gotta work up to it.
My point is that we were ROBBED! We should have been listening to Live 3 years earlier with Mental Jewelry, and why would you want to rob her of that as well. She should be starting with their first.
And now I am seeing that we were robbed even worse as they apparently released an album even before MJ that I have never heard of before now What The Hell!
@@kerianhalcon3557 You have a good pick, but remember, she's a vocal coach. It's not necessarily about picking the "best song", but the song that best exemplifies specific techniques. "Lightning Crashes" has minimal instrumentation, with all the focus on the vocalist. And it's such a slow build, she can easily point her audience to a specific section and have viewers understand what she is pointing out. As complexity builds, and more layers of nuance are introduced, it can lose utility for her channel's purpose.
"The Beauty of Gray", while a fantastic song, exemplifies a technique that she's already covered many times before. She'd love that song, you can definitely hear some heavy Meatloaf influence in it, and she's all about that. But from the perspective of technique, it's not bringing anything "new" to the table.
Also, I think the subject matter of "Lightning Crashes" with the bitter-sweet mirroring of birth and death will hook her on an emotional level.
And objectively, it is the more popular song with the masses. It got the most radio play when it came out, was a staple of all their shows. So her audience will knows it better, which means more views for her channel.
But I get what you're saying... Imagine my disappointment when she picked "Ace of Spades" for a Motorhead review. It was their most popular song, but not even remotely their best, or even very representative of their style. It should have been "1916", "Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me", or "God was Never on Your Side". But she has to go with what people know. This channel is a business that's all about teaching technique, not just jamming out to the best tunes.
"Makes me wanna hug someone"
What a beautiful response to an ending that feels like emotions tearing apart!
Really want to hug someone? Listen to "Letting the Cables Sleep."
So cool to watch her fall in love with this song. 😍
I turned 30 in the '90's , and the first time I heard this song,it spoke to me. My heart, soul and mind loved it. Bush has some great songs, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Gavin Rossdale is a beautiful human with a beautiful voice.
My son was 13 when I took him with me to see Bush and Goo Goo Dolls in ‘97. Today is the 9th anniversary of my son’s death and running across her reaction a few days late was still right on time for me considering this date and the fond memories I have of enjoying that concert with my son. He wasn’t into them at all then ha, I think he was into Metallica back then, but he humored me and we had a great time.
I went to a show in Hampton VA on that tour. I was in eighth grade at the time. Went with my dad and brother. Later that year we saw green day. That was my brothers and I favorite band at the time.
Hugs ❤
Hope life has many more happy memories for you. Sorry about your son. 😔
Bush, collective soul and live are my 90s, and the wallflowers for some extra
Haven't thought of throwing copper in ages....
Yes, I’d love to hear an analysis of “Lightning Crashes”.
I saw both Bush and Live within the last month, and they both crushed it.
Add smashing pumpkins, Our Lady Peace and Matchbox 20 and that's my perfect 90s playlist.
Wow, was totally not expecting this one! Bush is such a great band and it's nice to see it show up here. Glycerine is a beautiful song and I'm sure your analysis will do it justice. ❤❤❤
Even with all it's popularity, I still think this song is underrated. Such an amazing song. Great reaction!
I totally agree!
SWALLOWED will blow you away. It is the best of their repertoire.
"Just want to be myself... hey you said you would love to try some...
caught in the middle of a world on a fish hook... you'Re the wave, you'Re the wave....!
Mouth as well. The first album was so good it tends to overshadow how good razorblade suitcase was
@@GoodVibesEnt sixteen stones has one of my faves : "MachineHead"... "I walk from my machine..."
Dead Meat, Disease of the Dancing Cats, and 40 Miles from the Sun are great ones off their later albums too
@@GoodVibesEnt Agree. Razorblade was such a great album. Any of its songs would do for a good reaction.
"Letting the Cables Sleep" was always my favorite, but it seems no one knows that one!
We have to put Collective Soul on Elizabeth's radar too!
December!!!!!!
So many bangers. Basically anything off the Youth album. The acoustic version of Satellite hits different.
My favorite band for a good 10+ years I can listen to all of Hints through youth in order and not skip a song.
Without a doubt.
Yes!!!
Glycerine is such a beautiful song. Swallowed by Bush is my favorite of theirs though!
comedown FTW.
@@krishanpaul2 All three songs mentioned are phenomenal songs... but personally I think I'd put Alien just above them.
i love watching you nerd out over vocals. its so wholesome
Yes super pumped on this one. You can't discuss this particular era of music without Bush. Now just waiting for your analysis of Live. I Alone is the perfect song for this channel
I Alone is my favorite, but I wonder if Lightning Crashes might be a better starting point?
@@danBhentschel lightning crashes is more well known but I alone really shows off Kowalczyk's vocal range
I Alone is their best song… LC is kinda overrated.
Turn My Head is another good one for her to go over
18:22 This part is one of my favourite moments in all of music. Everything you say about the strings, the intimacy of the lyrics, and that breathy, wistful sound he adds, all spot on. It's just beautiful, and gives me shivers every time.
When you check comments under different uploads of this song on yt you can see how much it means to people. They always mention someone they loved, someone they lost, something that happened to them that was not easy... And this song kind of helped them through it, or reminds them abt their loved ones. It's beautiful.
This song encapsulates the 90s for most of us who came to age during this time. Words can't express the feeling I get listening to this song even to this day.
That "needed you more, but wanted us less" lyric,. gah what a knife to the heart. We've all been there. This is one of the best breakup songs. My inner me that is still in my 20's is sobbing uncontrollably now.
Right there with you buddy 😪
"Huge D&D fan" Just when I thought I couldn't love this channel even more, you go and drop the D&D bomb. Outstanding!!
It's lovely to see someone fall in love with something I was obsessed with when I was 13. It goes to show how timeless music can be❤️
I was in 6th grade the first time I heard this song. Our band director had a band and they let us out of class early and we all filed into the middle school gym. I remember hearing this song and being amazed by how beautiful it was!! As soon as I could, I went to Sam Goody (remember that store?!) and described it to the employee as best as I could and he brought me right to Sixteen Stone by Bush. I went home popped the CD into my stereo and spent all day in my room listening to the album, reading the CD jacket and lyrics...those were the days! 💕
I can't deal with Glycerine turning 30 this year lol That MTV Spring Break live with Gavin singing alone in the dangerously pouring rain? 15-yr-old me was in love lol
My heart drops every time that cello enters.
Bush did this live on MTV during spring break on the beach. Pouring down rain and it is an awesome performance.
Came here to say this but figured I'd see if someone else said it first. Would love to see her review that version.
I think you’re the second to mention (or first?) so now i must definitely look for it!
I saw them in concert in a small club, when I was stationed in Italy during the mid 90s. They do an amazing live show. Hearing this song live was one of the highlights.
For reasons I’ve never understood, that instrumental outro has always had a direct line to the very core of my person. Drives the song home with an absolute gut punch of hopelessness and grief. OOF, every single time.
You should listen to Beethoven's Cavatina.
The ending strings hit the same emotional chords with me that certain parts of Myst did. I don't think that it was an accident that they were contemporary.
Bush's debut album Sixteen Stone (where this song comes from) was a huge success. Glycerine, Machinehead, Come Down, Little Things, and Everything Zen were all major hits back in the day. They had a few good follow up albums and songs, but that first record was where most of their success came from. Machinehead was probably the biggest hit. Both Machinehead and Come Down were featured in the 1996 film Fear with Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, and Alyssa Milano.
Yep. Compared to a lot of other CDs I got in the early-mid-90s and only ended up liking 1 or 2 songs... that was a CD purchase WELL worth the cost for how many great songs came with it. ;)
@@gfox9295 Bush's Sixteen Stone, Nirvana's Nevermind, Alice In Chains Facelift, and Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream. 4 killer grunge albums that don't really have a bad song on them.
@@randomhockeyguy9149 Because of all the people requesting Live for this channel soon(TM), I was thinking of Live's Throwing Copper as well from the same time period. And really, ANY Alice in Chains album or EP. ;)
Alien tho
First concert I saw as a kid
bush toadies and hum ❤
She's almost ready to experience Our Lady Peace.
Really want to see this.
superman's dead, or somewhere out there?
Oh yes please! That would be awesome! I don't think we hear about them enough. 💖
saw Our Lady Peace open for Bush last year, great show.
@@deepwaterlife48 Starseed
First words "This is Beautiful" (YESSSSS!!!!!!! Gavin / Glycerine is a masterpiece - he has several great songs but this was his masterpiece)
Was I the only one seeing her blush when she saw him sing? So many girls had a crush on Gavin. Not surprised to see one more added to the list. 😉
No it wasn't only you.
I've been listening to them since the 90s and I still blush every time I hear his voice LOL
Wait till she watches the video of the Woodstock 99 version of him singing this song. Perfection...
Ive watched Woodstock version an unhealthy amount of time 😅@@terrirafiq9329
I feel STRONGLY that she should listen to Live (the band). I think she'd have feelings about Ed's voice. Lots of feelings.
absolutely LOVE live--all their records
absolutely!
Lightning Crashes...
@@lokithecat7225 that would be a great one. I have a soft spot for "turn my head".
Imagine her reaction to The Dam At Otter Creek :D
I was a missionary kid, which means that I grew up very strict and had very little access to music or to the real world. Every year we had a big conference with all of the missionaries and none of them wanted to watch their children so they would arrange daycare for a week. One year a girl who was probably only 17 came with her church and she hung out with all the middle/high school aged kids and we did crafts, events and hung out. Before she left she made individual ripped CDS for each kid she hung out with, some were pop, some rap, some a mix. What she gave to me changed my life, and I do not exaggerate when I say that Bush's Glycerine warped me into who I am today. Whoever that woman was, I wish her the best in all the world.
I have an extremely simular story, but the breakthrough song for me was Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Quite a change from Hillsong. 😂
@@selardohr7697 Holy shit. Hillsong. I've not heard that name in years. Brings back so many memories.
You can't be less exposed to popular music than Elizabeth.
@@Man-vs-Metal Amish might disagree
I love how you've done a deep dive to really, truly understand it. And through that it's actually teaching me things I didn't know growing up in that era
I love the contrast between his gritty voice and guitar and the sweetness and softness of the strings and melody. This song is one of the most romantic and yearning songs I have ever heard. Thanks for making a video on it ❤
The thing I love most about your channel is the proof that Genre doesn't matter.... its just a label we apply to try to categorize music. If its good music.... its good music!
Exactly! I hate it when anyone “struggles” to fit a band into a genre. Just let it be! Good music is good music no matter what label is slapped on it. My favorite bands tend to not fit into a specific genre, dynamic and unpredictable!
That is a handsome, HANDSOME man.
I'm a straight man but I have to agree. He appeared in Constantine with peak Keanu Reeves and held his own which is no small feat.
I was at a Bush concert in Chicago many moons ago and Gavin grabbed a wireless mic and was wandering through the aisles singing. Everyone was absolutely fawning over this man.
As a heterosexual male, I wholeheartedly agree.
what do you think got Gwen hooked? They were on tour together and that was it; imagine having to be around Gavin and/or Gwen during 1997...the sexual energy was thru the roof during live shows
In my experience Eddie Vedder is the most drooled over grunge singer by a good margin. Gavin could very well be second though.
Memories of pausing and rewinding this CD over and over to dissect every word and intonation...
I never knew that was a core memory until being reminded while watching this video, that THIS was how I listened to this song for hours.
Bush was my favorite band from ‘94 - ‘96! I saw them live with No Doubt opening, and Goo Goo Dolls in between.
Those bands, at that time? Excellent line-up
Insane lineup! Wow! 😮
Wow!! The three of them at their peak. That sounds like it was a great concert!
Same, in Wichita 1996, though I didn't really know GGD at the time. Pretty sure Gavin and Gwen met on that tour.
That's a great concert. Best one I saw in that time period was probably Garbage opening for Smashing Pumpkins in Philly.
Must have been July 5th or 6th of 1996 according to a tour dates list I'm looking at... it was just a few days before Jonathan Melvoin (their touring keyboardist) died of a heroin overdose July 12th... same heroin the drummer was on, but he made it through that period.
Anyway, the event cancelled/delayed many tour dates after that (no shows between July 10th and August 23rd), including NYC dates for the 13th forward that were moved months later. Wild stuff that summer.
YES! I've been waiting forever for you to get to this band. One of my top 20 favorites of all time.
Saw them in 1996 on Valentine’s Day, when I was 16. No Doubt and Goo Goo Dolls were with them. It was a big deal for everyone at my high school, and a great concert. Was with my gf, this was our song. She died in a car crash 3 years later…her life ended like this song ends, I often think. RIP Ashley.
@@jeffc1753 I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.
I think that was the longest I've ever seen you go into a song without saying anything. That was enjoyable watching you enjoy a first listen. Keep up the good work!
I crowd surfed at a tiny Bush gig when I was a 16/17 teenage girl and it was epic!
I might have lifted you up! People always asked me to lift them up to crowd surf because of my size lol
It's nice to hear positive female crowd surfing experiences 😊
Hell yeah. Remember crowd surfing, back when we didn't just stand there and hold up our phones.
crowd surfing is the BEST!
Did I miss the Tiny Bush tour? dammit
I grew up in the 90's, bush was one of those bands that made my tears wet and my heart bleed. the emotion that a bush song can convey is unmatched.
Goo Goo dolls for me, Iris, specifically.😢
I was in high school in the late 90's (Class of '99 - Woo)... and had SUCH a CRUSH on Gavin Rossdale... Bush was my first stadium rock concert when I was 15... such wonderful memories of me and my two best friends smoking cigarettes in the bathroom like we were so cool and fan-girling so hard at this band. This takes me back and I love it!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Ever since you first mentioned the closed-mouth thing with grunge I can't stop hearing and seeing it. Thank you!
I could never look at Gavin the same way after his role as Balthazar in the movie Constantine. 😄
Absolutely killed it. Like someone else said, holding your own in a scene with peak Keanu Reeves is an accomplishment.
"Our old friend fear and you and me" is one of my favorite lyrics
This was a song I shared with someone I loved a long time ago. It sort of became our song. Over time, we drifted apart and then one day we stopped talking all together. I hope wherever you are Diane you are happy and that your life has been filled with joys, happiness and the love you deserved that I couldn't provide.
Funny how I can relate to your comment...
Dude this comment wrecks me in the best way
Yep
This was our song too (high school gf and I). I had my hair like Gavin back then and played guitar (still do), and one day I played that song for her in our school talent show. After graduation my family moved us to the west coast and we had to break up. Decades later, my mom had cancer and in her last days, when she was in the hospital, I saw a nurse walking in the hallway and there she was, it was Sandra. We hugged, and out of respect to my wife and her now husband, I never told her she was the one who got away, but I'm sure she saw that in my eyes when I looked at her. This song is a trip back in time and I often still play it on my guitar.
This is so hilarious to watch your videos and how excited you get when you hear a grunge era song that's good. What endears me most is the validation of the music I was living and loving in the early 1990's. There is such a huge library to choose from and I don't know all that you have covered, but if you haven't listened to the soundtrack of SINGLES, then you'll know how and why so many of us were hooked. Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, Paul Westerburg and more all on one album. Happy hunting and thanks for your sincere reactions.
“Lightning Crashes” by Live. Such a beautiful, hauntingly emotional song.
Yes!!!!!!!!!
3 years ago or so I went to a Bush show in rural North Dakota for less than a hundred dollars and secured a spot front row center. I didn’t expect much and didn’t think they’d put much into this crowd. Now I’m a pretty seasoned rock concert goer and they were right up there with the best I’ve ever seen. Gavin is a phenomenal frontman. If you get the chance fucking GO!
I love this one and letting the cables sleep. They just make me feel so melancholic
I thought I was the only one that likes "Letting the cables sleep"! I love Bush, but that is my favorite of their songs!
Saw Live and Bush when they toured together a couple years ago and it was such an amazing concert! Super excited to see you have a Bush song! Machinehead or Everything Zen would be a great compliment to get the other side of Bush.
Glycerine is one of the best songs to come out of the 90s. And the 90s had so much greatness in music.
I think the fact that this is so musically clean and clear really helps push it into more of a post-grunge song than straight grunge. And there's nothing wrong with that. Some of the greatest rock from the 90s and very early 2000s was post-grunge.
Arguably, all rock from the mid 90s onward is at least partially post-grunge. It's kind of wild how it touched almost everything.
Post-Grunge can be cool, but if her goal is to broadly "get Grunge," she is literally missing/ignoring the bulk of the sounds that established the genre. Unfortunate.
Exactly this. Bush was on the forefront of the Post-Grunge era, inspired by Grunge, but definitely more accessible to the pop music fans.
Probably the only Post-Grunge band with any good songs.
@@KyleReeseCel2029you clearly have not heard any songs by Silverchair.
I know that it's hard to believe that some people have never actually listened to music like this, but it doesn't take away from the genuine happiness that we all probably went through when these songs first came out. I enjoy vids like this.
Videos like this one is why I love this channel.
Been a Bush fan since the mid 90s and I LOVE watching someone experiencing the same emotional response to this music.
Glycerine is absolutely beautiful, and a very special song.
Gavin may not be the "best" singer- whatever that might mean,- but I absolutely agree he has an amazing voice and he is absolutely phenomenal at what he does.
Bush - Letting the Cables Sleep would be great to watch, but so would - The Chemicals Between Us. Comedown, Everything Zen, MachineHead...🤘🏻🤘🏻
Add Warm Machine to this list too.
I had forgotten how many perfect songs Bush had until I read your comment
Also the song Mouth, the stingray version. Original is hyper grungy, but the stingray version oozes sex.
And you forgot maybe one of the best ones....Swallowed.
Letting the Cables Sleep is so haunting and beautiful.
It became a go to song for me when my mom died to help me process my grief.
While she’s at it, she can might as well do the best Bush song, Greedy Fly.
Bush was the first concert I went to, in 1997, when I was 13 yrs old. It was a good time! ❤ this song is unbearably beautiful.
Whoa 1:30 without a pause! Unheard of! Enjoyed the response!
Thank you Elizabeth for helping me re-experience this song. Your insight, knowledge, and excitement for music is infectious and heartwarming. Please keep doing the awesome work you do. Both inside and outside of TH-cam.
Verve pipe - the freshman. Another good song that brings back some good ole memories like this song does for me
Oh wow, I had completely forgotten that song… thank you!!
Nigel Pulsford (guitar) did the string arrangements for Bush and I think that was a big part of why the strings work so well for them. They were written as a part of the song rather than being written to add to it.
Gavin’s also still one of my all time favourite lyricists.
I loved Nigel's accurate sloppiness in his playing, was a huge inspiration for me wanting to play guitar.
It’s awesome how long it took you to finally pause this one. Just goes to show how great this song is.
This channel always delivers!!!! Love the breakdowns and reactions of my favorite songs
Bush is criminally underrated.
They definitely suffered from oversaturation with a couple of their singles. Not being able to get away from a song turns people against it real quick.
They are so amazing live
I think Razorblade Suitcase is one of the best albums of the 90s
I don't know that they were underrated. Maybe played too much. They headlined Blockbuster Rockfest in 1997 at Texas Motor Speedway with about 400,000 in attendance. It was great fun.
@@justaguy1109 people thought they were British Nirvana wannbes, so they got a lot of hate.
Some people just don’t understand it when I say Grunge is my favorite genre. Songs like this is why I say it!!
I don't personally mind when people call them grunge because they're obviously influenced by it, but for the sake of generational accuracy, it's relevant to note that Bush actually represents the _foundation_ of the "Post-Grunge" genre (alongside bands like Silverchair, Candlebox, Live, etc). There's some more nuance in what qualifies one or the other mostly relating to marketing, polish ('radio-ready'), and the timeline of popularity relative to "The Big 4" of grunge.
Anyway. Grunge and post-grunge are both such a gorgeous, intimate era for rock that always connects with people, even still. Love it.
@@Trepanation21 ok gotcha. You see post grunge to me has some of my favorite bands such as creed, staind, Shinedown, silverchair too! But I think post grunge has song writing that is a little bit more straight forward and less metaphorical. But I think the main thing that separates the 2 genres are what year the band started. And bush was 1992 which I would consider to be grunge
@@chanceroberson7517 well, some purists won't consider it grunge unless it's from Seattle AND from the right time and so forth and so on.
I've always been a huge STP fan and even though they're from SoCal, they feel like they belong with Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam to me, so... call it whatever you want, it's 90s music that I loved then and still love now and that's good enough for me. ;)
Omg I was obsessed with this song as a teenager. It’s beautiful ✨✨✨
1994......30 years old.... We're old.
