I wasn't even a Goth but I loved The Mission and their tunes, proper band, saw them in Edinburgh at the Playhouse in 1987, brilliant concert, Wayne Hussey is an amazing performer, off the scale, remember that night with a vengeance ❤❤❤
Im not into wrap but neos "crazy love" and that addicted one are mint, to me, i love rem, and roxy music, go west, fucking manic st preachers, um, white ladder by david grey is good to drink with, you can be you and like whatever, no labels man, keep it proper👍
Still loving this song in 2023!!! About 33 years after I first heard it! So many people said it's just a phase back them, oh if they only knew and understood the magic of music! ⭐🎶⭐
My mum said that, i toned it down then got married and just look normal now, but it doesn't change who you are, which may be good or bad, I don't get out much so no idea
I'm a Spanish native speaker and I didn't know this song was about the magic legend of King Arthur and the Isle of Avalon until I translated the lyrics to my own language. Nice!
Ageless... 45 years of music and this is still my go to. Seeing them live in a small venue was one of the greatest privilege's of my life. Thank You...!
There are still a club or 2 here in Detroit that will still spin these great tunes! Sisters, Mode, Minstry, Puppy, all your alt. Favorites, etc. It's still alive...just got to find it... that dark dimly lit smoke filled place! Cheers!
Just saw them two nights ago for the first time (with the Chameleons) at a small venue in San Francisco. So freaking awesome - the music was incendiary and the vocals were epic!!
I used to think the mission were like "yeah they sound cool as fuck but the vocals, well it aint sisters but fuck it" but as ive aged its like, I don't know how to put it nice, but he sounds where hes from, like he sounds english, not too americana, its good for me, also english, to hear singers who don't hide their voices, just makes it more "im from here, good on em" type thing
There are times when I am sitting in the quiet, meditating or other times when I am just trying to sleep when I hear in the back of my mind, and my voices echoes 2:19 "Give me, Give me, Give me ... Deliverance "Brother ... Sister ... Give me, Give me, Deliverance ... Deliver me"
One of my favourite bands. They were great performers in concerts. I attended all their gigs in Paris since their debut A really power band, a magic combination of 4 great artists...! Wayne Hussey, a really talented person and an inspiring guitarist :)
This song has been cleverly crafted from start to finish. It is a true powerhouse epic. The intro is immense. The suspense is amazing. The gradual introduction of each music element is totally addictive. The gentle guitar, then the first few base notes get you hooked straight away. Then the drums. The slow build of speed and volume and then the main riff kicks in. WOW!! The melody and rhythm are now speeding into the main timing of the piece and it its stomping. Then WH starts to chant out those epic lyrics with such a controlled, but powerful voice. He tells a story of myth and fantasy that fits the music perfectly. In my view, a perfect rock song from start to an excellent finish. Deliver Me...
My mate went to uni in leeds, he still cant sus why i want to go there. Said to him "sisters come from there, and others, its like a site of pilgrimage dude" he was like "its ok, but shit" i was like "bud that sounds cool, how far away is it?" 7 hour train, took me less time to get from exeter to the grotto of Lourdes, but one day i will go, bet its alright leeds is
Believe in magic believe in lore legend and myth And the hand that guides in the cunning of hope in the weaving of dreams And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone Forever and again Give me, give me, give me, deliverance Brother, sister, give me, give me Deliverance, deliver me Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time Remember our souls entwined for eternity And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her And the apple tree will bear it's fruit in the gardens of Avalon Forever and again Give me, give me, give me deliverance Brother, sister, give me, give me Deliverance, deliver me Give me, give me, give me, deliverance Brother, sister, give me, give me Deliverance, deliver me Let me sleep for awhile and dream of Avalon and the Beltane fires And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake Where the sword will rise again from the water into the Hands of the chosen one the righteous one Forever and again
Saw them play this a few years ago, on their first night in an ex-Icelandic fishing trawler called The Thekla, moored on the harbourside in Bristol, England. Sold out three nights in a row solid, saw them on the first and they were just as good as when they toured with Carved in Sand 25 years earlier. Do not miss them if you get a chance, brilliant musicians, great live band.
I just was listening to The Mission into a friend of mine into it's car....and remembered the good 'ol times...like the band much, they're legendary, just like the Sisters.
I'm not sure that the Sisters can be seen as more successful. The Mission's success overseas (and in terms of chart placings in the UK) outstripped that of the Sisters.
i like both, but the Sisters more....and i do give a damn f*ck about "Charts" Top20, or WTF ever of this kind of things - since my teenage days, that was, when i was 12....a way long time ago....i do care about the music, sound, quality, lyrics...but neither about Chart Positions and/or sold records, because that's crap, it's the same like whats "in" or "out"....who gives a damn....sold records are only interesting for the record label, and artists, in order to get more money....anyway.
Marc, I don't care about chart positions and sales, either. However, you used the word "successful", which in this context would refer to precisely those things. Perhaps English is not your first language, hence the misunderstanding.
i only listen to gothic rock because i was mistaken for being into gothic music when what i was actually talking about during that conversation was how i wanted to revive the gothic nation as a collection of exclaves made up of gallicia; asturias; catalan; rif; crimea; milan; ravenna; gotland and Kaliningrad
Saw them live in Hull a couple of years back, waited out back for some signatures like most peeps. Ended up smoking some kick ass grass with them, top geezers down to earth.
Cannot wait to get my black witch sun hat and dark shades on post covid lockdown for holiday ! - Glad I was told I looked like a female version of Wayne Hussey in younger years !
They were encored by people singing this? That means this song means something to more than one of them, thats very cool, nice post man😃 i wont forget it
Interesting another DS vet posted here aswell. Seems to have caught a mood out there. Listening to it in a slightly different way now... seeing helicopters, dust and Apocalypse Now as I listen to "Belief".
ADORE ❤️ 🎸... MUSIC IS THE ONLY HEALER I DISCOVERED IN MY LIFE.... AND NOW CORONA CRASHED OUR LIVES AND NO LIVE MUSIC IN GERMANY 2020 ANYMORE 😪.... BUT MUSIC WILL BRING US THROUGH THIS MESS.... STAY STRONG AND HEALTHY THROUGH THE COVID19. PANDEMIC ON OUR MOTHER EARTH... 🌈🙏🦄....

How can this still sound so good after all these years?? Fricking awesome!
Total hidden hero of a song. One of the best to come out of the 90s. This version in particular.
2020 and I'm still loving The Mission
Me too

Just pure quality. All the best bands stand the test of time and can still play and produce excellent music and performance. Keep it coming guys :-)
Yup, particularly this track, dramatic and perfect for both small clubs and stadiums.
❤
Still cranking this in 2021 and still getting the same chills and feels like I did in the 90's x

My mum said that, i toned it down then got married and just look normal now, but it doesn't change who you are, which may be good or bad, I don't get out much so no idea
Same!

Te aplaudo los vi en Zaragoza gira neverland hussey es un grandeeeee y compraba hasta los maxis importados es zeeeeenithhhhhh todo el repertorio
Ageless... 45 years of music and this is still my go to. Seeing them live in a small venue was one of the greatest privilege's of my life. Thank You...!
And fields are doing it☹️ fucking money 😡
They are very underrated band! A brilliant band to see live! Wayne is huge presence on stage!
And what a voice.
I saw them here in Milan
Listening to this 30 years later and the sound is just as fresh as ever !
The bass guitar of this song completes the power behind it from the seriously underated super group
Yeah hes solid
That's purely why Craig Adams has been a favourite of mine...
Listened to this in 1995 in my first car, with my first girlfriend sitting next to me.... what a time, what a song
This song has 3 intro’s or one very long intro, it makes no difference. STUNNING. Nothing more to be said.👌👌👌👌👌
There are still a club or 2 here in Detroit that will still spin these great tunes! Sisters, Mode, Minstry, Puppy, all your alt. Favorites, etc. It's still alive...just got to find it... that dark dimly lit smoke filled place! Cheers!
How awesome
How I miss the good old times of early 2020. My clubs played this, too.
It is timeless
There are a lot of goth clubs that have 80s goth and industrial nights. That is when I go cuz I am 51
We have 1 club here in St. Louis That has a goth night. I almost feel too old to go, lol, being an elder goth at almost 50. 😂🖤
Discovered the Mission in the early 90s. Power deep band. Blasting this song, feels right.
Waynes voice forever will be my favorite singer.
Absolutely one of my favorite songs from back in the day!
One of my faves by them, if it was still on the radio, definitely would be listening to it😃👍
Just saw them two nights ago for the first time (with the Chameleons) at a small venue in San Francisco. So freaking awesome - the music was incendiary and the vocals were epic!!
Magnífico tema el principio heroico y la voz de Wayne hussen potente saludos desde Colombia
Mission was always a class unit.
Una canción con mayúsculas. Evocadora, potente, elegante. Y para levantar hierros va genial 💪🔥
Such an underrated band. This is so epic!
Not underrated by me. God's own medicine changed my life...
I still believe in God....
@Chainsaw Aunt Sally very. Good.-
weyhey...YT comments section and 'underrated' appears again.......overrated comment!!
Afterglow is this good. One of their top 2 best.
Takes me back to an Awesome Time of my life, my Youth!!
2024, at 41 years of age, I am just discovering this absolute treasure
Where've you been???
Never too late
I'm 16
22 here (:
I'm 58 and privileged to have been around in an era of music which will never be surpassed
Favourite Mission tune, and Blood Brother/Wasteland.
One of the best sorely and shamefully underrated voices on earth.
I used to think the mission were like "yeah they sound cool as fuck but the vocals, well it aint sisters but fuck it" but as ive aged its like, I don't know how to put it nice, but he sounds where hes from, like he sounds english, not too americana, its good for me, also english, to hear singers who don't hide their voices, just makes it more "im from here, good on em" type thing
This song has been, and always will be, cleverly written and beautiful 🖤
2029 and I'm still listening to the Mission!
There are times when I am sitting in the quiet, meditating or other times when I am just trying to sleep when I hear in the back of my mind, and my voices echoes 2:19
"Give me, Give me, Give me ... Deliverance
"Brother ... Sister ... Give me, Give me, Deliverance ... Deliver me"
i dont wanna get old ...and finally die ,i want to listen to this for ever
I was listening to bauhaus a while back and the mission came up so i gave them a listen glad i did love there great sound awsome
One of my favourite bands.
They were great performers in concerts. I attended all their gigs in Paris since their debut
A really power band, a magic combination of 4 great artists...!
Wayne Hussey, a really talented person and an inspiring guitarist :)
Top top classic
And he sings👍🙏
Really miss those years!!!

Yes, it is damn near perfect
great review for a great song
the remix on the 12 inch single was even better, it has samples from the movie excalibur.......that elevates the epicness of this tune
This song delivered me into a car accident 30 years ago while singing "give me, give me, give me deliverance"... But still sing it mouth wide opem🤟🤟❤️
they used a similar opening structure on the song Hdshrinkerea.
2022 and I still love The Mission 👍😉♥️
Best Goth band ever formed 🎸🎸🎸
One of my best favorit songs ! Thanks Wayne Husey !
Such a killer tune
Miss those times. What a great variety of bands and styles !
Fuckin awesome, this takes me back to my high school days. Best music and times that will never be again.
Wayne's world he should start a Disney world he's a gebezite genius no schaisser shittyshifttown working wayne
Hell yeah!!!!
Outstanding song back then, and still outstanding.
Totally agree, Loved it when CiS was released, still listen to it regularly now, Awesome track.
Brings back fab memories of my youth and seeing them live on numerous occasions at The Astoria in London... great band .. still love them 💜
listening this one now after so many years! still so good! Mission rules
Another classic. This and Beyond the Pale have the greatest intros ever, timeless
One of the greatest bands to ever come out the UK!
Leeds too...
Most great bands have come from the UK!
My mate went to uni in leeds, he still cant sus why i want to go there. Said to him "sisters come from there, and others, its like a site of pilgrimage dude" he was like "its ok, but shit" i was like "bud that sounds cool, how far away is it?" 7 hour train, took me less time to get from exeter to the grotto of Lourdes, but one day i will go, bet its alright leeds is
Believe in magic believe in lore legend and myth
And the hand that guides in the cunning of hope in the weaving of dreams
And the lady of the lake takes my hand and leads me
To the holy isle and the fairy rings and the circles of stone
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Surrender to the wisdom of age and the spirits of time
Remember our souls entwined for eternity
And the healing hand of the fairy queen will come to all who have faith in her
And the apple tree will bear it's fruit in the gardens of Avalon
Forever and again
Give me, give me, give me deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Give me, give me, give me, deliverance
Brother, sister, give me, give me
Deliverance, deliver me
Let me sleep for awhile and dream of Avalon and the Beltane fires
And a silent kiss steals away into the mist and out to the lake
Where the sword will rise again from the water into the
Hands of the chosen one the righteous one
Forever and again
Tks for posting the lyrics.
I love it when Goths smile, it's like the human expression of Yin and Yang
Saw them play this a few years ago, on their first night in an ex-Icelandic fishing trawler called The Thekla, moored on the harbourside in Bristol, England. Sold out three nights in a row solid, saw them on the first and they were just as good as when they toured with Carved in Sand 25 years earlier. Do not miss them if you get a chance, brilliant musicians, great live band.
That sounds Amazing. I saw them in 80s in Detroit
Lived in bristol 20 years ago, never knew the thekla was a boat, went beerkeller once, fucking hated it🤣
I love this song .
I just was listening to The Mission into a friend of mine into it's car....and remembered the good 'ol times...like the band much, they're legendary, just like the Sisters.
they were originally were the /same band at leeds university
But the Sisters have been more successful. I do like both.

I had this on a cassette as a gift from my son who'd seen them. Great song.
Real Gods of Goth or whatever their unique style may be described - I will always love them!
My God! what a beautiful song!
Do Srilankans follow goth fashion?
It's still a Tower of Strenght to me , The Mission for all Times :)
Ya kno it! Peace ✌️😎
...unbeliveble...amazing...one of the best sons...in my life...
Love them!
He lives in SP. My city! 💕💕
This always wakes me up
Στην λευκη με αγαπη αλεξανδρος 1991 🥰🥰🥰
Love eternal to this tune since 1989. Yes hear it on radio before album was released
Great album. One of the first c.d.s I ever bought.
i only listen to gothic rock because i was mistaken for being into gothic music when what i was actually talking about during that conversation was how i wanted to revive the gothic nation as a collection of exclaves made up of gallicia; asturias; catalan; rif; crimea; milan; ravenna; gotland and Kaliningrad

Saw them live in Hull a couple of years back, waited out back for some signatures like most peeps. Ended up smoking some kick ass grass with them, top geezers down to earth.
Cannot wait to get my black witch sun hat and dark shades on post covid lockdown for holiday ! - Glad I was told I looked like a female version of Wayne Hussey in younger years !
I guess this happens at every gig but tonight Stockholm nailed it with Deliverance sing-along to get the band back on stage
They were encored by people singing this? That means this song means something to more than one of them, thats very cool, nice post man😃 i wont forget it
Brings me back to a very dark time in Desert Storm 91
Interesting another DS vet posted here aswell. Seems to have caught a mood out there. Listening to it in a slightly different way now... seeing helicopters, dust and Apocalypse Now as I listen to "Belief".
