Listen to more Lush's songs here bit.ly/3aDKItn
Curve, Slowdive, Ride, Lush, all excellent. Back to the nineties for me please.
Don't forget My Bloody Valentine
Catherine Wheel and Swervedriver, too 🍻
Curve and Lush perhaps
Saw them both during the summer of '92. Awesome shows, especially Curve.
Let’s not leave out The Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil
If the internet has one redeeming feature, it's so we can hear great music like this again.
Absolutely 👍❤️
True. Still glad I have the CD I purchased back in '92.
Yes!
I was gonna say yes but someone said it before me.
They opened up at Lollapalooza 1992, and I felt really bad for them at the end of their set. The crowd was still funneling in and not showing a whole lot of enthusiasm, and Miki said after their last song, "Thanks Dallas, it's been very time-consuming!"
I saw them open at Albany in 92 and they were awesome there! I actually didn’t know much about them prior to that show - bought their CDs on campus that fall.
Saw the show in Pittsburgh, not knowing anything about them, and I was hooked immediately. I owned Gala within the week. I thought the crowd was perfectly friendly toward them.
Saw them that year at Lollapalooza in Irvine and Miki made a similar snarky comment there too.
Yeah, I saw them for that tour in Minnesota. My friends and I arrived early as they were one of the bands we wanted to see most. They were very appreciative and played a great show!
and in Toronto (Barrie) - they started the pit in broad daylight - it was awesome. i only watched a couple of Chili tunes and took a time out during Ice Cube. the rest was in the pit from Lush to Ministry
One of the most underrated bands ever.
Back in the day people thought they were somehow less than MBV and Slowdive, but these guys -- specifically this song -- were my introduction to shoegaze. It was Lush who got me hooked and I will always love them.
Mike that sucks really these guys have been around long than Slowdive yet Slowdive gets all the praise
@@montyryan3018 yeah i enjoy listening to Lush way more than Slowdive and I think Slowdive is really good. Lush seems a little more diverse and I just enjoy their overall sound better.
Pale shadow of "Cocteau twins" and no more....
Not underrated at all. Played Lolla. Was on the 4AD label. Not underrated. Learn the definition of underrated, then comment.
Lush is just simply intangible..... ethereal. Their sound is heavenly.
nice choice of words: heavenly and ethereal. This tranquility makes you fall asleep
This was mostly due to the production work of Robin Guthrie who produced them to the album Spooky (1991). Their sound changed dramatically on the later records which in my opinion had somewhat lost the magic
Tulipe Noire true. i think they had to intentionally bring down that 'magic' to a certain level so as to appeal to the mainsream audience. I guess they werent really that popular....which is a fucking shame if you ask me.
Agreed. And until recently, thanks to the internet, I never knew the words. Not that it matter to me at all. The "heavenly" and "ethereal" sound was so awesome, I didn't even care what she was singing. The lyrics dance lightly atop the wall of sound and they almost might have been in another language.
one modern band that is similar to LUSH is NO JOY. i love shoegaze.
They sound like angels.
They look like angels too
This statement just made me think that yes if there were a Heaven this is what angels would sound like
because they are
I think the sound an angel would make is pretty subjective to the individual.
Yes, Kate Boston...if Angel's had formed a band...this could be the result.
My God.....I love this song! When I was kid I would put my headphones on and just chill to this song with my eyes closed. The world faded away for a few minutes and a sense of peace washed over me. It still has that effect on me after all these years.
I was 29 when this came out but felt like you did. After a long day at work I'd put this on and just chill out. My daughter turned 10 that year and became a Lush fan in her teens. We both still love this song at 59 and almost 40.
@@Rauoul right there with you lads
I'm assuming you folks are into Cocteu Twins as well.
Lush "Sweetness and Light" should have 200 million views of which 10,000 would be mine alone. Ah so good 32 years later. Too too good
Perfect, even after 32 years.
I gave myself tinnitus listening to this album on headphones back in the day. And I have no regrets!
What a glorious way for your ear drums to d13, I salute 🫡 you
Those were the days with My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Ride, Slowdive, Xymox & Co. Great music, great times, great years - life was good.
***** werent xymox releasing bollocks like Metamorphosis around this time?
+Cocteau Twins. Was too young to grow up with it but I can appreciate it as someone who loves good music.
YC BC indeed
Don't forget Curve and Chapterhouse
Music is still here, and so are we. Life is good.
Vivid memories of Lollapalooza 1992, walking up to the crest of the bowl at Molson Park in Barrie and seeing this bright red hair guiding a giant mass of thousands, swelling and moshing like it was a singular entity... my life was forever changed. It's now over 20 years on and the power of what I witnessed hasn't faded either.
I was there (Dallas Show). Took a 4-square of Orange Sunshine, and enjoyed what is, to this day, one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen.
I was at Lollapalooza 1992 in Saratoga (SPAC). I was there for Lush and Ministry, everyone else was there for goddam RHCP. Lush looked so lonely up there early in the day with the indoor part of the amphitheater largely empty.
Always more grandiose in your head/memories than on some fucking cellphone.
Grant F Amazing how I have the exact same memory. I was 17 and took my first road trip with my friends from Timmins to Barrie, for me primarily to see Lush. Not only were they the first band on stage that gorgeous sunny day, they were literally the first live band I ever saw. Miki's flowing red hair flowing in the summer breeze is a memory that will stay with me for life.
I was at the infamous 1992 Lollapalooza Jones Beach, New York. You know the lineup: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush. Wow...the best bill of any gig in history. Lush played first (loved them) and then a flash hurricane blew in and trashed the whole stage. Concert cancelled! I paid a scalper $400 for two great seats and all I saw was Lush! Scalpers don't give refunds. Four hundred bucks to see a twenty minute set by Lush. I was called a Lollapa-loser by everyone that week.
In early 1991 I walked into a record store (kids, ask your parents) and the in-store audio was playing this beautiful, ethereal, yet driving track...I'd never heard anything like it. I asked the store clerk what he was playing and he said it was a song called "Sweetness and Light" by a band called Lush. I remember thinking how apt a band name that was, as it encapsulated their sound perfectly. I left that store with a cassette of their album Gala and I've been a shoegaze and dream pop fan ever since.
There's no one like Miki Berenyi. Absolutely amazing artist musician
Except Emma
@@f.w.2054
I♥Emma
I think her looks probably helped
Ah, the algorithm has noticed my love for British shoegaze. Songs like this helped me get through the early '90s. Those chord changes still make me melt. Thanks Emma!
This song is emotionally overwhelming for me
It brings you right into an unhealthy relationship full of accusations.
This song is 30 years old. Holy moly
fuckin hell, but it is still ace
That means I was 18 when it was released... where did it go?
already. 30 years flashing by. saw them live with Pale Saints in April 90. son't seem to remember a thing. must have been the reverb causing my brain storage to run behind in I/O
Saw then a Sheffield Poly supported by spitfire in 1990. I kind of remember it was brilliant. I think. Christ, it was before the internet was invented!
I had completely forgotten about this song, but clicked on it because the thumbnail looked like something I might like. The music starts and I think "Hey, this does sound pretty good". Then 00:19 hits and my brain says "Holy shit. I remember this song, and I especially remember that guitar lick." I was 12 when this was released. Nostalgia can be a hell of a drug when it really hits you hard, and I'm ecstatic that this song is back in my life.
Words cannot describe my love for this album.
I love how Miki can't keep herself from smiling the first few minutes when the camera points to her during her verses
who??
Miki is maximum cuteness, here.
this sound is what the early nineties felt like
You might be onto something
Emma, we'll never thank you enough for this song.
120 minutes at midnight was the time for me This music made me want to move to England One of the best eras of music ever My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Swerve Driver, Moose, Slowdive, Ride, Stone Roses, The Verve
And add 80's The Cure, The Smiths orNew Order.
@@vojtechelias8402 you get it my unknown friend.
loved 120 minutes...caught Cocteau Twins there...
Yes, 120 minutes, those were the times. I still have video tapes lying around with full broadcasts but unfortunately no time to edit them.
@@GertVeltink my local AOR (album oriented rock) FM station here on the east coast of the states played the program "Rock Over London"...which was basically an essential alternative/mainstream British top 40. Great for us Americans who got tired of the same ol' sometimes stale format.
i wish i could inject this song into my veins
I wish i could peck it gently and fly away on a fluffy cloud with all my other pullet friends :)
It’s called heroin
I TOTALLY AGREE,I can't make it through a day without listening to this .I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS SONG.
They wrote hypnotic stuff.... I loved their music and for me it came at the absolute right time.
This song is a place, a person, a feeling, an object that I had but lost. The lyrics are some of the best I’ve heard.
I remember when my older brother showed me this when I was a still just a kid in the 90s. It blew my mind and became my favorite band for most of my teenage years. Will never forget this song. The video is super cool too!
Wow...I was into Death, Kreator, Slayer, and Deicide at the time. I'm now 41 and discovering Lush just now. I love them...simple guitars, great bass lines and vocals that altogether just make you feel good. Great band!
I bought Gala when I was an 18 year old kid in 1990. I had just gotten to college as a freshman never had lived away from home. Used to chill out in my dorm room to this song. Still brings back alot of memories for me.
God I love this band so much. This album was just perfect, kicking off the 90s, encapsulating those heady years in texture and in tone. Pure and simple: I hear it, I exult.
This is one of those songs that you don't want to end.
LYRICS
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my self (I've been uptight)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my sight (I could disappear)
See with you memories fading fast
And with you it's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe
Only to see
That space and light is what I really need
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the juice I need for life
You are the sweetness in my eyes

I hear it in this order:
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my self (I've been uptight)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my sight (I could disappear)
See with you memories fading fast
And with you it's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe
Only to see
That space and light is what I really need
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
You are the juice I need for life
You are the sweetness in my eyes
Thanks makes song even more enjoyable.
All I'm going to say is... The TITLE OF THE F**KING SONG! "you are the/my sweetness and my light?" -- it's in the title. srsly.
Ty
Thank you
I just discovered this band yesterday. And I can't get over this song.
In 2065 this will still be epic. And a visual feast. My god they were good. RIP Chris. You beautiful human.
Lyft Driver was bumping this on the way to work yesterday and that's what brought me here
This is the greatest song ever recorded.
Damn!! It's crazy that I haven't heard this band. Better late than never, am I right?!?!
Gotham United Yes definitely
Miss that era and the earlier, better days of 4AD releases. Still in the marrow.
When Ivo was still at the helm. I think he's gone now. I checked-out the 4AD website a couple of months ago, found a ton of new bands but could not find anything I could relate to. A shame for what was once a great label.
I think their last great signing might have been St Vincent but she's moved on now... and become a not very good pop star.
On the subject of 'marrow', look-up St Vincent 'Marrow'
God, I miss the 90s.
S Lo help me build a time machine. Let’s go back
We all do.
I miss early 90's especially.
@@isaiahd781 As long as we can stay there.
I wish I heard this in the 90's
@@blo7332 i did
Never let Lush die. Maybe they were flawed. I guess so. But still, I am listening. Their music makes my eyes roll back in my head. It lifts me off earth. There are rises of power, moments of incredible beauty, power, lust, truth, sorrow. Mostly beauty.
This has a ethereal sound that carries me away.
Even now, the pain of Chris' loss is palpable, still hurts as much as when it was announced 💔 sleep well Chris
Only thirthy years...
His passing was the reason why Lush stopped . 😢
I've seen precious few bands who inspire as much genuine love in their fans as this band.
MaskedMan66. took the words right outa my brain,cocteau twins do the same thing,wish we could all get together and jam while listening to this music,how cool would that be?
The sound of angels, a beautiful harmony of voices, and those accompanying guitars sounds, just wow!
A little slice of heaven:
A warm summer day, California's Pacific Coast Highway, and my '72 Olds Delta 88 convertible with Lush's greatest hits blaring out of the speakers.
I would never do something as perverse as driving a car, but that does not mean that I do not know exactly what you mean ;)
Christopher O. Indeed - quite a beautiful slice of Heaven.... I'm can see you enjoying this on the road. I was listening to this driving north in the countryside up to Liverpool a month and a half ago, in bright afternoon sunlight.
Your life sounds way cooler than mine.
till it overheats
I feel you bro.. Try jamming to it on the Istanbul - Bosphorus, chilling on a sunday dawn, after a beautiful techno night.. driving ;)
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Nuff said.
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my self (I've been uptight)
See my life (I've been so tired)
See my sight (I could disappear)
See with you memories fading fast
And with you it's never going to last
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are an apple in disguise
See with you
I never seemed to look the other way
Only to stay, only to breathe
Only to see
That space and light is what I really need
I never wanted to tell lies
You are the sweetness in my eyes
You are the juice I need for life
You are the sweetness in my eyes
Thank you for your service
Blushed I was surprised...Brushed my hair I can disguise...I could never tell lies, the speed of light fill my eyes. ENIGMA! imagine

This band makes life worth living.
Saw Lush at the Marquee Club, Sydney in early 1990's. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their performance.
I was at that gig too. Great night.
I was a sophomore in high school when this came out. Seeing them tomorrow night at the Roxy is going to be unreal.
+coffycup75 i'm so jealous of you right now! good jealous, don't worry hehe :)
1991 downtown Union Square free Lush concert. I was mesmerized. I fell in ❤️ that day. Thanks Lush. Came at the nick of time!🥰
You're so lucky! I first discovered Lush RIGHT AFTER they had already left the Bay Area on that tour. (I think I read a review in the Daily Cal or something.) I didn't get to see them until they played at Slim's on the Spooky tour the following year.
My god, how l miss music like this, a beautiful harmony with dancy baggy drums, great keyboard and bass sound but overseen by the jingle jangle guitar tune. A great time for fans of music from bands.
Whoever made this video for Lush did a great job. So many layers of images and unique colors stacked on top of one other. This took many hours to put together, especially since it was done nearly 30 years ago. Brilliant work musta cost a pretty penny.
Right? Physical video tape was required in editing, even if they had the latest software.
Summer time breeze. Incredible music takes you places. Saw lush in 92 .
I love them so much. This song hits everything I need.
Time has not diminished the genus of this band. I can go months, years without listening to Lush and then spend the next month obsessing over their music. A decade of amazing music.
Thank God for songs such as this. I think I would cease to exist otherwise 😊
Mountain Prairie West Agreed luv!
This is feels so good to listen to, just feels like it's coming from within your head and not from your headphones
Turned onto them by a man at a Urbana ill record store said I would like more 4ad label people and I do love dead can dance gave great mlami show
Okay, I'm totally in love with this music!!!!!
Absolutely irresistible, as it was when I first heard it late in 1990
Seeing them in San Francisco in 1996 was the biggest highlight. How lucky I was to see them.
I think this band is rated perfectly. Neither over nor under. Just *chef's kiss* PERFECTO!
One of the most beautifully written and sounding songs ever recorded…
Lollipalloza 1992. What a trip. Literally!!
this song saved my sanity, kept my hope intact
every morning in a state of total desperation I'd hit "shuffle" on my pod and it always came first; it was weird but then i realized it was the voice of the spark of life saying "don't give up"
If they played this song on the radio it would be a hit.
Lol Not in this autotune era
One of the best songs of all time, totally transports me away every time.
25+ years after first hearing this and I still get goosebumps!
There will always be a place in heart for this band!
They were all so young and beautiful. I've been a fan since the beginning and always will be.
I had no idea of this band. For decades i was looking for music that will go further as dead can dance and this music is exactly what i wanted without even knowing. Thank you so much.
First time ever listening to this band. I've been into Shoegaze and dream pop recently. Loved the main guitar riff and tones! Very etheral sound indeed. (and the vocalist Miki is so beautiful heh)
They're back!!! Holy sweet shit. Such news.
+Polyfusia What ..are they really??
You just made my day then!:-D
+Polyfusia
According to a commenter on another Lush video, the drummer from Elastica is taking over Chris' spot.
+Polyfusia WHAT??? What do you mean they're back?
They reunited. They have a new EP coming out and they're touring soon.
Some songs just make you float away.
4AD the records company who breed lotta best musicians from 80's to 90's
So true. Back in those days, if it was on 4AD and had a female vocalist, I was pretty much guaranteed to love it.
Saw them half a dozen times, including first Canadian appearance at Lee's Palace in Toronto in 90... got to speak with then after the show... incredible performance. As were the other times I saw them over the next few years....
I saw them at Lollapalooza in 1990s. Micki walked out on stage. Cracked open a 40oz and they went right into Superblast. It was one of the best shows I ever saw my whole life.
Very cool early 90's psychedelia. Timeless!
Wow 1990 I was 20years old and remember this song .... I’ve found it after 30years not knowing the name of band or song for that matter , Thankyou Rage , Shazam & TH-cam
Never heard this band. Thanks for this. Lush Rocks in Psychedelic way and I'm a very happy Guy just watching and listening.
Have you heard Cocteau Twins?
th-cam.com/video/6KnYw4EwYGc/w-d-xo.html
Take a listen to Slowdive
utterly unique and beautiful
Their music will make my life on Mars bearable.
I wish the mix were more. This is one of my eternal favorites till the day the light goes out.
they make my top five 4AD best artists list. great song. never tire from hearing it. never.
Definitely one of the most beautiful song in my life. I'm almost crying ㅠㅠ
Simply a classic Indy band and a iconic song just a song that makes you feel good
one of the best bands ever !!!!
Some of my greatest memories growing up have lush as the soundtrack. Amazing that these simple yet haunting songs still hang around in the darkest corners of my mind... Like Cobwebs in an attic never to be cleaned out because they hold a charm all their own that I don't want to let go of.
So many wonderful memories wrapped up in Spooky and Gala. I really love this band.
I found out about this band at 12, in my dad's hospital room and ever since they've been a part of my day-to-day life
even now after all these years and in such hard times....still sounds wonderful and wish i could go back to that place....hey ho 60 years and still loving that song x
47 here…I remember when I got the Spooky cassette.✌️
One of those songs that restores my faith in humanity. Love it!
Miki. Rachel Goswell. Emma. Oh my. Gorgeous, talented humans.
Saw these many times in their 4ad yrs,so sweet.
Yet another most brilliant track from the 90s. Ethereal and full of soul, indeed!
This has such a unique mood. One of my favorite tracks of all time.
The masters at work
Beautiful music. So otherworldly.
This was all that would calm me on my first acid trip. Now I sing this to my puppy. My sweetness and my light.
The lucky pup!
@@enzodisciullo2557he is my sweetness and my light. I'm the lucky one.
Love how she smiles when singing the chorus
I can never forget the impact of listening to this song for the first time.
Their music is in the iPod and still supports me.
Met my wife of 24 years at First Avenue Mpls with Lush, This Picture and James. Got in in for $1.04 for a radio promo in 1993. Thanks KJ104 you are gone but not forgotten!
Light and sweet as a morning spent in the sun-washed sheets.
