Empty Box
Like Swimming
1997
Lyrics:
Tore open a package it was an empty box
No meaning to me just an empty box
Sender was a woman (x2)
She said she's sending me everything that I I I never gave her before
She said fill it up and send it back
Fill it up and send it back
So I send her back an empty box
A big mistake sent back an empty box
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
I crossed into a valley a valley so dark
That when I look back I can't see where I begin
I can't see my hands
I don't even know if my eyes are open
In the morning I was by the sea
And I swam out as far as I could swim
Until I was too tired to swim anymore
And then I floated and tried to get my strength back
And then an empty box came floating by
An empty box and I crawled inside
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound in the night
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
I admire the level of dareness needed to dislike such a unique piece of music
Yeah it's humbling to flaunt my idiocy in public, just not in this case; L pretty love their entire catalogue; was so bummed when he died, was lucky to see them once in a small venue; perfect show, right, 'bout , 'round 22 years ago, or so. LOve you Mark Sandman.
Yes it's like saying help, my musical hearing is terminally ill, someone do something
I admire the level of darkness needed in everyone's lives here to resonate with such a unique piece of music
@@marcsalzman8082 You are so fucking lucky man. Respect.
@@JasminaRoxaneovic the project
19 years ago today, was a very sad, sad day in the world of music. On stage in Italy we lost a legend. RIP Sandman.
Just discovered this song and I’m in love. It never ceases to amaze me how a song from 25 years ago can still resonate. The magic of music
They just had their own thing, thank the good Lord I was able to see them live & they were truly amazing
I truly envy you
There is no other band like Morphine on planet Earth!!!! This song exudes this!!!!!! RIP Mark Sandman...
While I'm drinking whiskey right now this song reminds me a part of my life that wasn't that good, but I miss that!
R.I.P Mark, true music here!
Same here.
I wish I was this band.
I am in love with this song
Good good good!!
You should be
@@fernandoleiva8074 vrdd
De la misma forma que yo lo estoy contigo... Mi hermosa damicela heroica de las selvas amazónicas!!!
Its normal.. Its a awesome song, its a awesome band... Morphine forever
“And than an empty box came floating by, an empty box and I crawled inside.”
🤯🤯🤯🤯
because that was just the only thing left what he didn't gave her. she is such a toxic vampire she killed him with her self insuficiency and he loved her and was just giving to her himself.
God, I love this intro - this piece from them ❤🎧
Nobody will ever be as suave as Mark Sandman was.
That voice.
Verdade
I hear a little Nirvana here!
Bass Dusan Kojic -Koja-Dicciplin A Kitchme.
I reckon since it hit 69 it will remain as such.
Que hermosa canción. Con los espacios para que la canción pueda respirar. Enorme banda Morphine. Saludos de un fan argentino. 🇦🇷 🎷
Abrazo grande amigo. Es una banda tremenda. Saludos.
1:34 that bass line is brain melting
nothing is perfect ، empty boxe the Exception
the MAGIC that somehow got lost. Mophine was my sidekick in quite a few shrooms journeys. Love them
We are playing black metal. But this... awesome. 0 dislikes! 0 dislikes!
Mora Prokaza I love death metal, but this.... avesome!!!!
Same here!!! Good stuff right here
slow rock, the dark side-
Я тащусь, это просто стиль
Brilliant song! One of my favorite.
Tore open the package it was an empty box
No meaning to me, just an empty box
Sender was a woman
Sender was a woman
She said, she's sending me everything that I, I

An empty box and I crawled inside
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound in the night
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
Alright
The sender was a woman
terrible
Beautiful music and voice
Бомба тема!
Музыка вообще необычайная!
absolutly wonderfull
Офигенная песня! А какой ритм, а саксофорн...мм
Илья Бабенко о да
+++
У них все афигенное
An absolutely brilliant track like most of them. Love them, tragic band but wonderful and thank you!
Man, Mark Sandman was a genius! Terrific lyrics, terrific sound. God, why they don't make such music anymore?
He died in the 90's far as i know.
You just have to look for it. Members of the band went on to do other projects, (Twinemen, A.K.A.C.O.D., Bourbon Princess, etc,) and other newer artists have taken inspiration from Morphine. The music you want is out there, but you might have to hunt.
@@NoBrakes23 AKACOD is SUPER good!!! Best offshoot of Morphine imho.
Mark died on stage....
Because the world has gone to shiit, my friend, that's why. The music made today is nothing but a reflection of how shallow & vain the people who populate this world are. Not generalizing, of course but jeez i can shamelessly affirm the vast majority is.
HERMOSA CANCION Y HERMOSA BANDA
Que temazoo..! Grande morphine aun hoy son geniales.
Morphine por siempre, Alto tema y alta letra, RIP Mark Sandmen.
This song is pure 90s. It's the perfect anthem to that era. Good times they were.
No-one sounds like them in any time period. How does an anomaly define a decade? (walks up basement steps and shouts, "hey mom! what's an anomaly?")
Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
I crossed into a valley a valley so dark
That when I look back I can't see where I begin
This one says a lot. omg.
Such a great song.
Tremendo temazo! Aguante Morphine carajo!
The artistic child of Jim Morrison!!!!!
Yep...an empty box. Damn, Sandman, I hope I get sent to wherever you are.
he sent her his corpse in the coffin. omg
Aqui con un puro y un roncito añejo y esta cancion, q buena onda
Excellent! *****
goosebumps goosebumps goosebumps
Cats jams are magic people dig it... 10 foot tall and bullet proof no one can touch this...
i wish i was this band
Their music makes me feel like I'm on a heroin high.... and i kinda love it oops
That's because they convey their opium trips through their art
@@Daniil_Ryvak Sandman didn't do drugs.
@@Logansf410 did you know him personally?
@@Daniil_Ryvak yes
Amazing music
sums up every marriage
indeed. like they were talking each on different language, but he is a giver and she hungry receiver. She is fucked up
Саксофон кайфовый
This is definitely their best song.
mmm its difficult , but it can definitely be
@@melquiodes difficult is beautiful
Нет слов просто слушай музыку
başarılarının devamını diliyorum
მიყვარხართ პატარებო
Ооо, шикарно. Грузины тоже в теме и слушают такую музыку?
Люблю ваш Кутаиси! ❤
😊.
Omg I've been found
Awesomeness
why this song isnt available at spotify wtf
because spotify doesnt have good taste in music
so 4 people out of a hundred thousand dont like this song...the war is on!
47 people cant understand greatness , even when its on ytube..let us pray for these poor misguided dislikers..not!
maybe they don't understand the story. and people like people, what cannot understand they judge and/or hate
Abi baya iyi bak harbiden diyorum :d
RIP Mark Sandman......
temazo
❤
💕
If this band was a potato, it'd be a very good potato
+1 on you friend. I am going to steal that. I'll do my best to credit you, but shortly I'll be honest; I'll claim it as mine =)
Haha! No need to credit me, do with it as you will :)
They'd be french fries with pepper.
so true
Jackson Bloom twice baked potato with salted butter,sour cream,bacon,cheese and some scallions!
abi bu nedir ya.sandman adamsın
Fill it up and send it back...
and all the time, she is so empty actually
why isn't like swimming and the night available on Spotify? anyone knows?
I assume it has something to do with those being the two albums they released on Dreamworks instead of Rykodisc. They’re in some sort of copyright limbo.
because Spotify sucks, must be obvious
Two years later, and streaming services still don't have it
I need my fix
2010 i lived in allston drunk to hell, my woman dead, my future gone, living out on a wire with my brother domo, then going home so drunk strung out smothered in the box and not fully knowing how dead i was really and now living paralyzed in the mind sober straight or not the memories frozen and unapproachable... and shit I don't even know if my eyes are open, the heart is broken and jaded too much now drunk or sober or angry or glum or doing what I'm supposed or not, don't reckon it matters, just shitting in the same river here but my brain stems are all burnt up
why was this version removed from spotify? :(
I wish I could show Mark the painting this song inspired…
Well, gosh, guess i am a night shade potato as well since the birth of Morphine.. potato on my brother.. we had a sad, sad , sad, potato pass away on us. may he rest in foil forever.

It it Dana’s graphics?
sanctify
Nirvana-Doors mix
Ertac Ulku
Definitely took some vibes from both
To Emily - who told me what this song means. Sorry about the empty box.... not that she'll ever read this.
+Dan Quinn tell us what she told you about the meaning of the song plz
the lyrics say that a woman sent him an empty box with all the things he never gave her... she said to fill it up and send it back. He sent back the empty box ... probably a disappointing response. That fits well with my results.
The thing is, later: "Then an empty box came floating by, an empty box - and I crawled inside". So he probably never gave her himself.
She was an empty box that wanted him to fill her, but he couldn’t. But he climbed into another empty box when he needed help.
He gave her everything once before, the empty box was an invitation to reacquaint and be lovers again. He rejected it for whatever reason - more than likely fear - returning the box empty. It was the same empty box that then came floating by, she had discarded it and though he had intimations of it before that's when he realised the depth of his mistake, too late. He crawled inside and allowed the ocean to do what it will with him, he'd lost control and was now at the mercy of events.
Каеф
Does anybody know the chords for this song?
Mark Sandman used to play a custom self made 2 strings bass, with slide, so it's hard to know
@@lunasrojas_ yes, I know...
Elco
Почему я услышала эту песню только сейчас?❤
Girl with one eye ? O.o
Sounds like rape me by Nirvana at the beginning
My not friend franco used to puke in mu mam flowers while drunk becUseof the night
Sounds similar to Nirvana's Smells like teen spirit!
I wish Kurt Cobain could sing this song
no. this is Mark Sandman. Kurt Cobain is different story.
Кто от Зулина?.. ^______^
Women: you make men feel this way, like we have nothing to offer that creates a future. You resent our strength, see us as Apes. All of you on a continuum...when we fail..who picks us up? You have the ceremony...everyone adores a strong woman....double standards...i was never beneficial of that.
Huh?
?????
Right on brother
That's why men shouldn't get married, just pump & dump. Women don't respect anyone or anything.
Empty box para siempre.
Tore open the package it was an empty box
No meaning to me, just an empty box
Sender was a woman
Sender was a woman
She said, she's sending me everything that I, I
I never gave her before
She said, "Fill it up and send it back
Fill it up and send it back"
So I sent her back an empty box
A big mistake, sent back an empty box
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
I cross them to a valley, a valley so dark
That when I look back, I can't see where I began
I can't see my hands, I don't even know if my eyes are open
In the mornin' I was by the sea
And I swam out as far as I could swim
Until' I was too tired to swim anymore
And then I floated
And tried to get my strength back
And then an empty box came floatin' by
An empty box and I crawled inside
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound in the night
Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound
Alright
Thank you.....
بلان ✨
Really... Really... Good
this band fucking rocks
It was foretold...
❤❤❤
