This and All His Geese are Swans are just the best classics for me.

This triggered a core memory of me watching MTV2 years ago when they would play alternative songs late at night

Waiting for Sarah's sax to kick in and... nope. When I saw them, Christian was with them but Sarah wasn't so never got to catch the classic line-up. :(

Does anyone know where the train line is?

Very powerful band besides unique

Timing is everything in life. I saw The Cardiacs many many years ago and didn't appreciate their uniqueness and utter brilliance. I can now understand the complexity and intelligence of their music.❤

My what a beautiful band.

This Kinks tune fits them.

Those were the days x x x

wow amazing, any idea the year of this?

This is!

I prefer the original Spice Girls version - written in 1854 by marmite worshippers in Alaska - just saying...

Fucking landsharks 🦈🌻

Woke up this morning with this . Just remembered. Good

Only discovered this recently and absolutely love it! Always playing it when I get a chance!

Some bands should live forever. Totally unique.

2:08 Isn't this basically bits of the breakfast line? Made a bit ska. Sounds like the breakfast line was derived from variations within this piece. Interesting

The only band in the world that could improve on The Kinks. And put this song where it belongs. I hope Ray has seen this.

split enz.🔴.

Cocaine in the 80’s just hit different.

Love across time's unjust divide.

Is there anywhere I can watch all their music videos in high quality???

This is amazing!!

Tim was so cute with his long hair

Another song to mess with my head!!

Brillante

The worlds most interesting band..ever

Madness...

Absolutely insane! That chorus playing those chords alone, and then singing on top....bonkers and brilliant! Timmy! Random is incredible too!

Sad to know i'll never see Gena Lolla Brigida live. 😢

Simply marvellous!

Masterful. RIP both Tims

YOU ARE MY HERO. Thanks so much!!!!! Now I can relive seeing them live for the first time

❤

That tempo change from 2:35 for the next 30 seconds, and then straight back into the previous tempo flawlessly, seamlessly. Unreal. I love that I can still find this unfathomable gems that Timmy wrought in the darkest corners of their output

fuuuck such a blistering awesome version of an amazing tune! its such a complex tune and the fact they're playing it like 30 bpm faster than the album version is insane.

Oddly, though not at all in a bad sense, it sounds to me like rock jamming on a progression by Víctor Jara 😮

A truly genuine one off band. No one will ever sound like them. Rest in Peace Tim

I heard the cardiacs version before I heard the kinks version so I’ve always thought of the kinks version as a cover of a cardiacs song

brutal

Poor soldier.

The only time i ever heard Hymn live was at the Wellhead Inn near Wendover in the mid 1980s. It brings tears to my eyes to remember the emotion i felt back then and to remember Tim in all his glory.

Outstanding

Wonderful example of musical animation, the rhythmic cutouts and color swapping representing changing chords and notes. BRILLIANT!

This is a priceless gem....... uninsulated, thank you for posting

Miss you

Some of the best days of my life x x Timmy and Tim Q you are missed x x x

And now... And now he's here

Without the Cardiacs, there's no such thing like normality!!!! The best band EVER!!!! RIP Tim Smith.
