Early Pastels gigs to late 80s where packed out. In the 90's until speeding motorcycle cover and then the gigs where brilliant but had lost a lot of their audience although I attended all I could. Seems now that they are starting to get new fans which is braw! I ❤ them.
Provokatie, thanks-I was in high school when I use to request this by telephone at my friendly neighborhood college radio station-couldn't get enough of that foreign moody stuff in sunny Cali.
I'm 21 and absolutely love the so-called post smiths indie scene. It's worthy of the name 'indie' for a start not like the current creme of the NME's crap...
She comes walking down the road And I know that dogs won't bark She comes walking up the stairs She's tap-tap-tapping on my door And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must But I go blind and my mouth fills up with dust Says she's open like a book She's got everything I need Even wants to take the time To teach me how to read But the ceiling moves on down towards the floor And soon there's only room enough for us to crawl I wanna build her up Up as tall as a church Just to watch her Just to watch her falling down I can't see her again I just can't see her again I've got to see her again I've got to see her again She comes walking down the road With a kaftan in her hands She comes walking up the stairs She's tap-tap-tapping on my door And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must But I go blind and my bones start to rust I wanna build her up Up as tall as a church Just to watch her Just to watch her falling down I can't see her again I just can't see her again I've got to see her again I've got to see her again
I wanna build her up Up as tall as a church Just to watch her Just to watch her falling down I can't see her again I just can't see her again I've got to see her again I've got to see her again
Yea it kinda does sound like kids in the hall theme song.. in fact that bamds name is called Shadowy men on a shadowy planet... they have a Surf sound to them..
When Pavement played reading festival then 2 band members wore Pastels t-shirts. Stephen Malkmus is on record saying that he is a big fan! I kinda remember a gig in either Edinburgh or Glasgow when Stephen Pastel got on stage to do Speeding Motorcycle! Teenage fanclub cover Yo la tengos instrumental I hear you looking so maybe confused with that instead the night after Yo la tengo played at same small venue in Edinburgh. Getting old
in fact you're the perfect age, just remember what bob dylan said "i was so much older then, but im younger than that now". the pastels are one of my favourite bands but theres no need for nostalgia
At the end of the song you can see Frances and Eugene kissing each other.. wow both bands amazing. by the ways the vaselines they going to show up at this month to play here in toronto ill be the for sure.
Wow anything that's been on TH-cam for 18 years and still gets love is amazing. I've loved them since the 80s.
I'm 12 and in love with obscure indie bands 80's and 90's
This is not an obscure indie band
congratulations.
@@buster3903 it is if you're 12, christ give the kid a break
@@buster3903 don't be a dick
Who gives a fuck

Doesn't get much better than this.
Nope
I first saw this video back in FEB 1988 on the USA network. Great song! Thanks for posting it.
So great... Makes me sad that no one makes music this perfect anymore. Not to mention Stephen Pastel is beautiful!!!
The Pastels, so underrated, so wonderfull, and Steven Pastel so handsome
definitely
I like this version more than the version on the "up for a bit with the pastels"
I remember this on the Shelter (music compilation) video. Played it all the time on my VHS player.
Top ten indie song. Heard it about 35 times so far yet its mysteries continue to reveal upon new listenings.
*sigh* why'd i have to ever get old? GREAT SONG!
will never stop loving this great band
ça, c'était un super groupe.
La meilleure période des labels indies britanniques
One of my all time favorite songs!
wow - now this takes me back! good call paul!
I first heard this song back in 1988. And I still love it.
Provokatie,
thanks-I was in high school when I use to request this by telephone at my friendly neighborhood college radio station-couldn't get enough of that foreign moody stuff in sunny Cali.
I bow to the beauty of this song.
what is it with scotland and bands with great pop sensibilities....
When I first fell in love with Frances McKee, nothing has changed.
I'm 21 and absolutely love the so-called post smiths indie scene. It's worthy of the name 'indie' for a start not like the current creme of the NME's crap...
I love this song, I love the Pastels, I love this video. Thanks.
Best pop song ever.
this is a decent bit faster than the original version I really like it!! idk if its just spend up or what but I prefer it :) amazing song
great song! thanks for posting this, it's probably very rare
Thanks for uploading this.
love the outro
Gosh, this is love.
the Pastels are amazing, brilliant song
@ watoowatootheband
can't believe i rediscover you guys through a comment on a pastels video! i love your music
Francis Mckee from the Vaselines at 1:59 And again at 3:07 kissing Eugene Kelly. How cute :)
love this band
The slow version is on "Up for a bit with The Pastels". If you want this version, it's on "Truckload of Trouble"
Pastels masterpiece
what a band
god he’s beautiful
full of wonder !!
Majestic.
Can anyone tell me what kind of jacket the singer is wearing?
Ah The Pastles - love 'em to bits and play them often. Aye, whit a band.
thanx tupalooo,ive got to go there!!!!
She comes walking down the road
And I know that dogs won't bark
She comes walking up the stairs
She's tap-tap-tapping on my door
And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must
But I go blind and my mouth fills up with dust
Says she's open like a book
She's got everything I need
Even wants to take the time
To teach me how to read
But the ceiling moves on down towards the floor
And soon there's only room enough for us to crawl
I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again
She comes walking down the road
With a kaftan in her hands
She comes walking up the stairs
She's tap-tap-tapping on my door
And she'll make those tears to know that it's a must
But I go blind and my bones start to rust
I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again
this is the oldest video in my main music playlist
Temazo gracias ..PAT
oh Lordof the Things, dreamy Heaven again n again .........melt....prrrrr
I've got to see her again
She even wants to take the time to teach me how to eat. Or is it 'read'? Greatest song ever written IMO. Bass guitar!
10 years later ........... Read .
I wanna build her up
Up as tall as a church
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again
I think the winning lyric in this song is pretty clearly "even wants to take the time to teach me how to read."
Yea it kinda does sound like kids in the hall theme song.. in fact that bamds name is called Shadowy men on a shadowy planet... they have a Surf sound to them..
kOOL sONG!!....I think they were a very very lost band from the 80's indie movement. They sounds like:
Galaxie 500 + The jesus and mary chain.
I was watching a live yo la tengo and I saw James from Yo la tengo wearing a Pastels t shirt. and I looked up the Pastels. Fucking GREAT!!!

@aledsd The girl at 1:59 is Frances McKee from The Vaselines.
Who cares? They were shite as well...
How did I miss/ignore them when they were releasing this
in fact you're the perfect age, just remember what bob dylan said "i was so much older then, but im younger than that now". the pastels are one of my favourite bands but theres no need for nostalgia
Why not?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
is this some of the only footage of the vaselines when they were young?
Valentina y los bindis 💕
Loving this =]
Dude.... Did I found a treasure ?
Doesn't anyone else think that this sounds and looks like the Kids In The Hall opening theme?
Reminds me of Kids in the Hall....strange....
does anybody know where I can find "a bit of the other" vid?
great.
too good
Anyone else seeing that that derp ass square in the bottom left?
It's 80/90s video tech
lol
love x 100000 billion
someone has the letter of this song?
@xsultrysongstress79x we were teenagers then. but this is the 80's.
filmed in lovely glasgow!
Killer indie psych pop....❤
90's? more like 80's! this was released 1986
独特のサウンドとキラキラしたメロディーが好きです。僕もバンドやってますが影響受けました。ちなみに僕のバンドは六畳間POPって言ってTH-camとかに曲アップしてるんでよかったら検索してみて下さい！曲の感想とか貰えると嬉しいです！
love the 1:59 who is she?
Thx, esesmuvajprats! :)
You can find them in SongMeanings.
Loveely!
At the end of the song you can see Frances and Eugene kissing each other.. wow both bands amazing. by the ways the vaselines they going to show up at this month to play here in toronto ill be the for sure.
Anyone any idea where the video was filmed?
Is it Glasgow? Or is it der Eiserne Steg in Frankfurt am Main?
i know your post is 11 years old now, and you probably have your answer by now, but that is Glasgow. On one of the bridges over the Clyde.
this is the type of shit You like clay Jensen 👌👌👌❤q👍👍
Definitely not obscure for anybody of 40 plus.
True
You're 17 now
And I'm off to see Sea Urchins, Orchids and Field Mice.
@xsultrysongstress79x i know... i'm 18 but i fucking love the 90's!
cool cool cool songg
Try ebay, once I see it there for bid. But be patience...
Please, I need the lyrics, anyone can help me? Not in Google, :S.
I think it might.
最高
Just to watch her
Just to watch her falling down
I can't see her again
I just can't see her again
I've got to see her again
I've got to see her again
ME RECUERDA AL AÑO 96
so that's why they call it anarack pop
umm... this came out in the mid 80s @xsultrysongstress79x
I asked for no age. As long as we agree we like it, i couldn't care less about how old you are.
i want to build her up.. up as tall as a church.. just to watch her.. just to watch her falling down.
PERÚ - MACHU PICCHU
don't cover this song, play it badly and make a new one, c'mon!
I love this song, I love the Pastels, I love this video. Thanks.
