@@antonfjordson I wonder if you remember a show in the knitting factory where a girl was star struck by you and the band lol I am still embarrassed but I love u that much haha.. Maybe it was the bowery ballroom or some place in the City..
@@lux9956 Bowery Ballroom? Circa 2006-07? Was it the show where a person threw an empty water bottle and Anton replied ….”Throwing shit?…” and walked away from the stage for a few to get the crowd under control?
I'm a music addict. I live for music, it's what gets me up in the morning. It's the first thing I hear when I regain consciousness in the morning and the last thing I hear before I drift into oblivion at night. A very good friend introduced me to Anton, and I have never been able to get enough since. Love.
@@Kevin-ro1fo me too Kevin. If music isn't playing and im reading then an audio book is with me 24/7. Anything to slow down the brain and get some peace. I found it elsewhere but lost my career. Lucky man to still have my family though. Blessings from the middle of Ireland :")
There's a documentary on the early years I watched when I was in high school called "Dig!" Of course, BJM is just a different thing these days than what's in the documentary, though Anton's music is still just as incredible as ever
@@flimflam6652 what he said^ this movie is amazing and BJM's third is in my top 10 @Half Alive check out Anton's A Recordings some amazing bands like The Blue Angel Lounge, Dirty Beaches and Weird Owl to be found there!
This is the first song of Brian Jonestown Massacre I heard. I have yet to hear a bad track from this band. It's all about the groove. Just found them a couple of months ago.
@@bobp363 fuck off. They rely on completely different musical qualities. Do your research instead of relying on the validation TH-cam criticism provides you.
I probably shouldn't be as excited about this as I am. Fingertips was originally written for Pol Pot's Pleasure Penthouse, which was The Brian Jonestown Massacre's first ever demo tape. The first time I heard that version of the song, I thought was one of the most wonderful things ever, a perfect blend of the Stone Roses' Madchester and the Cocteau Twins dream pop. The song was basically abandoned after the demo was released, I've never heard/seen any footage of it performed live, the lyrics were impossible to determine and I was just disappointed that the song was so damn obscure. The fact that this video exists means that the song is being revisited for a new BJM record, meaning that hopefully, all of the above will be corrected.
Undoubtedly, his music is great, but when it comes to getting more exposure or lack of there of has been of his own making. I think his own paranoid has led him to have tons of problem not only with his own fellow musicians, but with any record label that tried to make business with him. There is a documentary around that shows exactly where the problem resides. Too bad because his music is legendary!
Midobecker Gundisalvus bro its clear his art is very personal to him. Making music and the music industry are so different and that sucks. Like u said you dont have to be big to be legendary. We all here right now 🙏
They are very well known and appreciated by the right people. They are not and have never been mainstream. The music business has a habit of stereotyping artists into a mold that is already known to be profitable. I don’t think he/they ever wanted that. They are legends in their own right without any cheesy marketing or pr bullshit
This song reminds me of the time I spent with my girlfriend. I relive this beautiful feeling of love over and over again, trying to remember the best days spent with her. Every day I listen to this song several times, because it is the only thing that can give me a dose of hormones of happiness, but at the same time and sadness.
I had a difficult night and ended up taking a drive and replaying this song over and over and it made me feel so much better. Thank you for always creating the best music Anton
Anton is definitely the most under appreciated musician ever.....I feel spoiled by his contributions to music....gem after gem after gem etc......props
I was born in 1970 and I discovered you a month ago. Here in Italy we say: "better late than never". I'm buying some of your CDs ,,some are hard to find . Thanks for your great music
Lyrics! If anyone was wondering... Looking through the looking glass, All that seems won't ever last, Broken glass in every tree, Natural love I've never seen. Slipping through my fingertips like sand. Slipping through my fingertips, sand. Stare into the drinking glass, Walking slow, faces pass, Sipping through my fingertips, like sand. Sipping through my fingertips, each time. Sipping through my fingertips, sand. Can finally sing along now! It seems that the lyrics were changed up a bit from the original in a few places.
I remember I heard this song when I was 8 years old and i didn’t knew the name , but the Sound and rhythm were in my mind . It was about two years I finally found it thanks to a British photographer I met in a concert . This is one of the best songs in history , love it.
This song never gets old for me. Anyplace, anytime, it always manages to make me feel at ease. And don’t get me started on how good this song feels when I’m on LSD.
Now way, I literally discovered these dudes because of an incident that happened on stage between 2 of the members, I had no idea they were this good lol.
Ok, Anton, Thank you. Thank you so much you and the Brian Jonestown Massacre band. Everytime I am up or I get down I listen to your music and I fall in love with life again. Dancing to your music give me so much joy I can't describe. Thank you a thousand time, thank you for telling me to be the way you do. Thank you for beauty.
@@TSWislaK Ain't it amazing how music can do that?! For me it started with the band Dr. Dog. But that enlightening musical obsession started me on a path that has led me across genres and artists and has currently brought me to BJM and I'm psyched. I walked out of a therapist's office after a session where I finally realized and accepted that shit had hit bottom for me. Thankfully I had just enough optimism to believe that there was only one direction I could reasonably go from there -- up -- but it was going to take some hard work for which I didn't feel strong enough and courage that I didn't think I had. Then I'm sitting in my car and just started humming the one Dr. Dog song I already knew, and that was it. I found a playlist of them, put it on, drove home, and I couldn't believe how validating and empowering their music was. It lit the fire that got me rolling and years later I'm still climbing, but through good and bad, I'm so thankful I have great music.
Mike Landis how would you know? I can’t speak for the running through the mountains bit because what does that have to do with anything? As for being on acid. No this song is not like being on acid. If it is. It’s a weak trip. May I suggest something off Methodrone
@@jonathanpidock5599 the first time I heard this song I was camping in the mountains, balls deep in one of the best trips of my life. I was running to this song in a loop through the woods around my campsite and thinking this is the most free I'll ever be
Sometimes I have to purposely deprive myself of listening to Anton or TBJM because if not my mind starts tripping by itself no matter how sober or lucid I am. Anton I f*cking love you man!
There really is nothing quite like BJTM, the feeling and emotion this song is played with by them absolutely shines through and massages your soul. I’m sad to say I only discovered the band existed a couple of years ago so I’m late to the party, but I’m telling you, this music heals you from within. Beautiful…
One of those songs that you wish would never end. Interesting enough it often runs through my head on loops in my dreams, and when I awake from sleep. Always blissful.
'cause you're making me feel like I've never been born. Seriously, Anton, is there anything you can't do with music that reaches your listener's hearts. Thank you so much for all that you do. True inspiration and Legend.
i found a documentary of some sort of this band on TH-cam call DIG...i was instantly hooked on them their sound is soooo cool.. this song is so nice, its the first one i picked to hear some of their stuff, i love it!!! cant wait to hear more, the girls voice is mesmerizing
just found this band and have been listening to even song in a row, then I came to this which is has such an amazing, nostalgic sound. It kind of captures the sound of youth and freedom. Every song seems to get better!
This piece of music… I couldn’t get it out of my head for months after it came out.. and it’s still lives in my mind . Anton thank you. And Tess. Slipping through my fingertips every time❤
This is a really cool and faithfully contemporary take on the original from the demo cassette! I am really feeling Tess' vocals on this, and the lesser emphasis on the shoegaze element, and more so towards the psych direction instead. Nice one Anton! Can't wait to hear the final product if and when it does drop! :)
This song makes my heart race. I can't stop listening to it. I preordered the record and digital off of ITunes, have to wait unit June to hear it my car. Buy some great music today!
When I listen to this song I feel like I'm blasting off into something I can't describe. 10 years ago I would listen to this song ritualistically, every morning on my drive to the apiary I worked at. I'd hear the song and imagine pushing the pedal to the metal until I broke spacetime. Here now, I listen to the song and the same feeling arises. There is a mysterious, almost mystical quality to this sound that I love. Especially the original, even though I love this version almost as much.
Looking through the looking glass All that seems won't ever last Broken glass in every tree Natural I never see Slipping through my fingertips, like sand Slipping through my fingertips, sand Stare into the drinking glass Walking slow, faces pass Sipping through my fingertips, like sand Sipping through my fingertips, each time Sipping through my fingertips, sand
In spite of all the hullabaloo about Anton, this guy and his band of merry men and women are one of the greatest, most original, & highly creative musicians in American history !
Its a solid tune like most are, but i don't hear anything original.This one is a mix of Mazzy Star on Vocals.The Cure circa (1990-1991) upfront and The Edge ( 1982-1983) whaling in the background and a pretty basic bass riff ..The first couple times i heard it it was pretty simple to figure where they got the influences for on this track..still rocks though.
@@bobp363 the influences are more Lush, My Bloody Valentine or The Telescopes for voice and melody and The Stone Roses/The Charlatans/Madchester baggy bands for the rhythm. Doesn't sound anything like The Cure or that guy from U2...
My car got stolen a year ago. Today I'm sitting in my new car (it's everything I ever wanted), racing down a free open road with the beautiful sun setting amongst thunder clouds behind me, blasting this song, lightning chasing me. Jumped off the ledge of my old life and falling towards a new better life to this theme song
Reminds me of my last Seattle visit. Winter almost here. But still can see the autumn leafs spread in the streets. Snowy mountains in the background. Beautiful lighthouse hidden in discovery park. Seagulls flying all over in the pier. Cold, but not freezing. Cool music played in downtown. Christmas about to start.
One word: MASTERPIECE !! I had discovered this song thanks to the Pol Pot's demos and I was just amazed by how good it was. So glad to see this song now recorded with Tess haunting vocals. Thank you Anton, you never disappoint. :) Next time you come to Paris, I won't miss you!
I have stumbled once on this song a forever ago tripping on 3 tabs one night, and this song took me to the WORLDS! And every time i having my "adventures" i am starting with this song. Anton you are my god.
It's nice to be able to hear a clearer production of this song. This is the track that started my lifelong jones for BJM. POL POTS ... is prolly the best demo to be released.
I swear to God there are times you hear a band for the very and they blow your mind. The Brian Jonestown Massacre are one of those wtf moments as a teenager got me hooked on this legendary cult band who deserved to be up there with thee greatest rock n roll bands ever. So many unbelievable songs including this
So very glad 'Fingertips' survived. The first BJM song I remember ever hearing, from a cassette tape sent to Bomp Records' Greg Shaw in '91. It took a year to actually Find Anton Newcombe, but it was worth the wait! I do love this track. Is that Eufloria on vox?
This is great as it is I think Anton. The super cool thing about your work for me is that I only discovered it last year and I'm still finding tracks I've never heard which resonate with me and I just 'get'. Got a bit freaky on 3 lsd tabs a few years ago which altered my perception. Of any new bands I discover or get recommended, BJM stands out with tracks like this. I have the same satisfaction also from bowie tracks I've never heard such as "slip away" from "Heathern". BJM is an inspiration. Thanks.
My favorite BJM song since I first heard it. Might of been the first one I heard too but dont remember. Reminded me of "I wanna be adored" at first but now just sounds like itself to me.
Its like my life right now, its slipping through my fingertips. And also my gf... she's in 14000km away from me, will never see her again, probably. Such a nice song makes me so sad. Wish everyone else more luck in life. Peace!
Never forget where I first heard this song introducing me to the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Tess Parks, Hole in the Wall Bar & Cafe Silema, Malta. I haven't been the same since.
One of the best songs of all time, the 2 note riff spiraling at you faster and faster until descending for that delicious lick is unbelievable
Oh yeah... I just noticed, I never thought about it that way. Weird because it’s actually me. I plume the reach of the bar chords
Love riffs like that simple

this has to be one of the most underrated bands ive found on youtube
There's a documentary on the early years I watched when I was in high school called "Dig!"
Of course, BJM is just a different thing these days than what's in the documentary, though Anton's music is still just as incredible as ever

this movie is amazing and BJM's third is in my top 10

There's something very nostalgic about this, it's has this almost dreamlike quality about it...
Yes
Yes indeed..and i imagine the Cure and Jefferson Airplane would agree since they created these sounds 40 & 50 years ago..
@@bobp363 fuck off. They rely on completely different musical qualities. Do your research instead of relying on the validation TH-cam criticism provides you.

Also very, very funny

Right on
Indeed!Cheers for BJM
me too
Me three.
this and anemone are absolute masterpieces
..and Panic in Babylon too, pretty pleeeease?? :^)
No no open heart surgery, and also memory camp n the one ya mentioned best ones personally

Neither could I!
Does Anton read our comments? : P I AGREE also
Someday maybe
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFEwhat ?
This song makes me feel ALIVE. The BJM is one of the most under appreciated bands ever. It mystifies me as to why.
Undoubtedly, his music is great, but when it comes to getting more exposure or lack of there of has been of his own making.

*Nostalgia* is an addictive drug, which in time degrades into *Longing* which is a deep sickness.
Don't do this to yourself.

Thank you for letting me escape my hell temporarily.
Is this hell getting better ?
What a downer
Now get back there, lmao
I think he died lol

Couldn’t agree more
Lyrics! If anyone was wondering...
Looking through the looking glass,
All that seems won't ever last,
Broken glass in every tree,
Natural love I've never seen.
Slipping through my fingertips like sand.
Slipping through my fingertips, sand.
Stare into the drinking glass,
Walking slow, faces pass,
Sipping through my fingertips, like sand.
Sipping through my fingertips, each time.
Sipping through my fingertips, sand.
Can finally sing along now! It seems that the lyrics were changed up a bit from the original in a few places.
"Natural* I never see"
Yuval Peleg yea that seems to be it! Thanks!
Actually I now think it's "natural love I've never seen". :D Still listening to this song lol
Pure DMT
Thanks for adding these!

This song captivates me. I don't know how to explain it. It's special. I could listen to it over and over again.
This always was one of my favourite BJM songs. To do this again with Tess Parks is beyond inspired.
Thank you.
The old recording is probably my favorite gaze song ever. I've always hoped for a new recording, and it sounds great! Cheers to everyone involved!

@@bobp363 the influences are more Lush, My Bloody Valentine or The Telescopes for voice and melody and The Stone Roses/The Charlatans/Madchester baggy bands for the rhythm. Doesn't sound anything like The Cure or that guy from U2...
Just been reminded why I love this band so much. X
Music this epic is what makes life worth living
No according tae the orange
Simply euphoric, each and every time! Genuinely can’t imagine a piece of music making me feel more alive than this, ever! Masterpiece! ❤
wow...sometimes, you hear a song that just clicks at all levels. Amazing Mr. Newcombe. Blown away, again.
My car got stolen a year ago. Today I'm sitting in my new car (it's everything I ever wanted), racing down a free open road with the beautiful sun setting amongst thunder clouds behind me, blasting this song, lightning chasing me. Jumped off the ledge of my old life and falling towards a new better life to this theme song
Anton... spiritually speaking.... you are a seriously class act with a soul intact...
Reminds me of my last Seattle visit.
Winter almost here. But still can see the autumn leafs spread in the streets.
Snowy mountains in the background.
Beautiful lighthouse hidden in discovery park.
Seagulls flying all over in the pier.
Cold, but not freezing.
Cool music played in downtown.
Christmas about to start.
forgot to say I NEED THIS SONG EACH DAY OF MY LIFE.
thanks so much anton
My favorite song of all the times !
One word: MASTERPIECE !!
I had discovered this song thanks to the Pol Pot's demos and I was just amazed by how good it was.
So glad to see this song now recorded with Tess haunting vocals. Thank you Anton, you never disappoint. :)
Next time you come to Paris, I won't miss you!
Okay, the 27th of June at the Trianon, can't wait!
I have stumbled once on this song a forever ago tripping on 3 tabs one night, and this song took me to the WORLDS! And every time i having my "adventures" i am starting with this song. Anton you are my god.
It's nice to be able to hear a clearer production of this song. This is the track that started my lifelong jones for BJM.
POL POTS ... is prolly the best demo to be released.
I swear to God there are times you hear a band for the very and they blow your mind. The Brian Jonestown Massacre are one of those wtf moments as a teenager got me hooked on this legendary cult band who deserved to be up there with thee greatest rock n roll bands ever. So many unbelievable songs including this
This is such a good song to just sit and think while listening. I find myself slipping into my mind every time
Yeah. A toke, pop a pint and off I go. BJTM effect
Cohen Kane a drop too
Otselot a toot and a snore for ‘74. Or whatever year people claim “this” is.
This is absolutely incredible, even by BJM usual standards. My word I can't get enough of it.
@antonmewcombe sir, this is transcendent. You are on my bucket list of concerts I must attend before I die.
tess parks is not only gorgeous & wow, what a voice! oh, to have it all...
So very glad 'Fingertips' survived. The first BJM song I remember ever hearing, from a cassette tape sent to Bomp Records' Greg Shaw in '91. It took a year to actually Find Anton Newcombe, but it was worth the wait! I do love this track. Is that Eufloria on vox?
This is great as it is I think Anton. The super cool thing about your work for me is that I only discovered it last year and I'm still finding tracks I've never heard which resonate with me and I just 'get'. Got a bit freaky on 3 lsd tabs a few years ago which altered my perception. Of any new bands I discover or get recommended, BJM stands out with tracks like this. I have the same satisfaction also from bowie tracks I've never heard such as "slip away" from "Heathern". BJM is an inspiration. Thanks.
Woah this is so cool, so glad to hear you going back to this track.
My favorite BJM song since I first heard it. Might of been the first one I heard too but dont remember. Reminded me of "I wanna be adored" at first but now just sounds like itself to me.
oh man! the original is one of my favourite bjm songs
At last, you gave this song exactly what it needed, timeless!
loving it, sum's up the BJM sound through the decades, Tess adds a mystic thats rarely captured, Oragasmic :)
this song and weed saved my life ✌🏻 thx tess
if you like bjm you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris
If Boards of Canada made a rock song it would be this right here. Following BJM since 13 and they always have something new to say
I lie back and close my eyes and listen to this song and 7 minutes just dissappear, it takes me somewhere else and the song is over before i know it
Just never can get enough of this band! Melt into obilvion... So love them!
What an experience! Would love to hear this song in a badass movie
THIS IS AMAZING!!!! THANK you
Wow, as you get older you realise there are so many good sounds you have missed. Then you discover them via friends etc. This is one. brilliant.
perfect man and with tess in vocals ....oh my..
Its like my life right now, its slipping through my fingertips. And also my gf... she's in 14000km away from me, will never see her again, probably. Such a nice song makes me so sad. Wish everyone else more luck in life. Peace!
AnCient sOuL & AnTiHEro don’t be sad! The world loves you! Hugs 🤗
Much love! ✌️😘
@@mibidoit thank you so much !
Hope you feel better now bro
@@MangoTreeWildAndFree Hope you are ok now :)
Each time I hear this I like even more...
Never forget where I first heard this song introducing me to the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Tess Parks, Hole in the Wall Bar & Cafe Silema, Malta. I haven't been the same since.
Wonderful, this is truly a treat for the ears. Thank you
