To me this song is among the very top best masterpieces ever made. And not just because of Skin's voice. The whole composition is just perfect. They were all brilliant.

Lyrics: I awake From blood thick dreams Washing blame From my knees Softly done So secretly I'm awake As Charlie sleeps A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone I awake Dry the scream Spit the vile breath Till my tongue bleeds Thinks it's all gone Famously Broke the hard girl Good to please A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone Tell it like it is Tell it like it is Tell the sordid truth Tell them Tell it like it is Tell them A lone brother, a lone sister A home cover, alone Alone, alone, alone, alone, yeah

I have no idea but in my eyes she is a beacon for the rock community not only because of her breathtaking voice and talent but because of her beauty color and originality. Absolutely love this woman and her amazing voice! Wish I could meet her 😪
Try Thinking For a Change???? I think your thinking won't change a shit, dude! You had an answer for your stupid comment in the one you replied, but NO! Thinking never was your friend!
Absolutely, at first I was like "this is some heavy funky stuff" but then halfway through I was like "these sounds are actually pleasant and harmonic" and not harsh or beating into my ears.
You know what I love.. these musicians are amazing, and they can create a gap in the instrumental and Skunks voice can still rip through without any hesitation.
Still absolutely mesmerising 22 years later. Was an angsty 15 yearold in 1999 now looking back with a great and fond nostalgia. Songs these days really don't hit has hard!
@@ameera.abubakr If you wanna keep discovering, then go for the weirder places: The Vovos for current feminist punk, and Tool for... hell, I have no idea how to describe Tool. Go check them out and decide for yourself.
The part of the movie Hollow Man where this song's playing still cracks me up😁👌🏻. This song's the reason I bought Post Orgasmic Chill when it came out and I still love it years later. There's nothing like crankin' CBP in the stereo in the car and singing/screaming along. You get some weird looks but...meh🤷🏻♀️. Her voice is fucking phenomenal
Me too....Cranking it in car and searching to prank some little shits....Kevin Bacon and Skin was already a success...The movie was and still is one of my favourites
I wish more people pointed this out. One of my favourite intros to any song. Hearing this song on my Dad’s iPod on drives back home from school as an 8 year old is probably what laid the groundwork for me getting into trying to make some of my own Jungle/DnB stuff recently!
My friend sent me this song yesterday. Couple hours he passed way by a car accident returning for your home. Miss you ma man!! Enjoy your time and your friends buddy, no one knows when we will leave this world 🥀🖤
For me, personally, it's really an added value when it comes to the listening experience when there is an ethical or moral dilemma being confronted lyrically. The tension between it finds its expression in the song, in the music. It's therefore always a suprise when you come to the conclusion that an emotional response was triggered just by listening. As they say: music speaks louder than words. Greets, Belgium, Brussels
Music has no age bro. Good music will be listened to forever. And there is good music today to. Just like in the 90's. And the 70s, the 50s, and the 1700s..
Can you believe that the USA never warmed up to them? Search Trash Theory and Skunk Anansie for more info on how they struggled trying to break through.
Best alt rock/alt metal song ever. I still need to come back to get a fix again and again. After all the music I've heard over the years, no one does it like skunk anansie. And the D&B intro, it's just good shit! Raw, savage, beautiful.
*Just seeing a bald black woman with such powerful vocals singing a hardcore head-banging rock song just blows my mind on every level. How exceptionally unique it is to stumble upon something so rare and straight up badass!* Hollow Man brought me here. 🤘🏼👩🏿🦲🎸🎤🎶 ⭐️🔈🥁📺🎹📻🎻🏆
just turned the tv off and heared in the end of a CSI episode that song and oh my gosh thats Skunk Anansie ,, needed to hear it again here..what a great band ..from a great era. powerful.matchless .alternative rock,.part of my youth.
Easily one of the best songs of 1999, alongside "Emotion Sickness" by Silverchair. Oddly, the ending of this always reminds me of the climax of Porcupine Tree's "Gravity Eyelids" three years later - it's fun playing them one after the other.
What a remarkable voice this woman has ,when she sings ,that vioice sent waves down my spine,one of mt favorite alternative rock bands miss them when they were here South Africa
A lone brother… sept 4th 2024 So many things going on with my life right now, and this banger in the background… I will remember this season of my life and this song will be the soundtrack
Ok but why am I just hearing this song for the first time in 2021???Of all the videos that have been served up in my feed ... really? Never this? This is awesomeness!!!
I was near the front when they opened with this at Pink Pop ‘99. The pit turned into waves of people washing over me. Nearly killed me, no joke. I’ll never forget it though.
I bought this on cassette at a service station on the toe of Italy . Listened to both it and blur 19 all the way back to the UK , it was the perfect accompaniment .
Lots of beauty in the world, you just gotta learn how to look in the unusual places. That means: Avoid the algorithms, they will hide this stuff from you. Make friends with weird people, that should widen your exposure the most.
In the context of child trafficking and organ harvesting exploding business, this hits me even harder today!!! This could easily be the track for Sound of Freedom and much more. The band is sharp, but Skin's voice is the blade itself!
I truly have fallen in love with her despite being female *.* She has a power about her and her voice, the video! Skunk rocks! And I wish I looked damn good balled!!!
@@JoeyBoBo saw them when I was 17! Amazing gig! I'm sure they'll still rock everyone's socks off. Hope you get to go to the gig, what with everything going on at the moment.
IT'S SO WEIRD seeing a black female screaming and singing in a Rock Band but it's SO BEAUTIFUL. I wish there were more black rock singers and musicians! The guitar is good, her voice is amazing, everything slay. I'm gonna add this song on my playlist.🔥
There are plenty. The powers that be list don't want to push them. Militia Vox, Tamar-Kali, Meet Me @ The Altar, Tartarch (sic), Conkrete God, Witch Mountain...you can even search Black Female Rockers in playlists.
Probably one of the best, if not the best, female rock vocalists.
One of the best vocalists of any gender really., Skins a force of nature.
Anneke van Giersbergen is the best though.
@@peterd.4476both are great
Amy Lee is really good
@@peterd.4476no.
To me this song is among the very top best masterpieces ever made. And not just because of Skin's voice. The whole composition is just perfect. They were all brilliant.
This and Filter's "You Walk Away" are two songs I often use to demonstrate to people how a rock song should work from a construction point of view.

100% agreed
25 years later, still sending chills down my spine.
exactly like it
Way to make a person feel old!!!!
Dunno how I missed this 25 years ago (it's right in my wheelhouse) but it's giving me belated chills now.
Nerd
Same!
21 years later and this is still better than most of the actual alternative rock shit.
you can bet your ass it is
Good music never gets old, that's why.
With no doubt
and so we gather here, brothers and sisters of taste, that in the night of global terror, we shall enjoy the greatness that is Skin
Bless you.
Lyrics:
I awake
From blood thick dreams
Washing blame
From my knees
Softly done
So secretly
I'm awake
As Charlie sleeps
A lone brother, a lone sister
A home cover, alone
I awake
Dry the scream
Spit the vile breath
Till my tongue bleeds
Thinks it's all gone
Famously
Broke the hard girl
Good to please
A lone brother, a lone sister
A home cover, alone
Tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
Tell the sordid truth
Tell them
Tell it like it is
Tell them
A lone brother, a lone sister
A home cover, alone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, yeah
🖤
4685 years later and still so good. Thanks!
Ein musikalisches Meisterwerk, völlig zeitlos geworden und für mich das Stück, dass am allerbesten die Band musikalisch präsentiert in all ihren Stilrichtungen. Gigantisch ❤
So amazing how Skin can go from hauntingly beautiful to powerful rage. What a voice!
The power and grace of an unstoppable, avenging angel.
@@Tao_Tology how can you know how an avenging angel sounds like?
The best voice EVER!
I have no idea but in my eyes she is a beacon for the rock community not only because of her breathtaking voice and talent but because of her beauty color and originality. Absolutely love this woman and her amazing voice! Wish I could meet her 😪
I saw them perform live years ago......she is truly magnetic
Even Pavarotti himself regarded Skin as a phenomenal vocal artist. Saying it was his honor to sing with her and that her power put him to shame.
Who is skin?
Deborah "Skin" Dyer. The frontwoman.
Wow! Thanks for sharing! When did that occur?
WHO IS SKIN...?
I have my jaw on the floor!
Try Thinking For a Change????
I think your thinking won't change a shit, dude! You had an answer for your stupid comment in the one you replied, but NO! Thinking never was your friend!
It hits you like a sledgehammer without being brutal. A gentle caress with a bulldozer. Brilliant.
Art.
Absolutely perfect analogy. Nicely put.
@@Waspwoman1ikr😊🤘🏾🤘🏾
May I steal?
Absolutely, at first I was like "this is some heavy funky stuff" but then halfway through I was like "these sounds are actually pleasant and harmonic" and not harsh or beating into my ears.
You know what I love.. these musicians are amazing, and they can create a gap in the instrumental and Skunks voice can still rip through without any hesitation.
Skin.
@@antipatsy thanks, lol. Ah, really I'm just revisiting Skin's music from way back when it was released.. my old brain :D
Wow...🥰🤤 This song gave me chills when I heard it years ago. It still does.
Still absolutely mesmerising 22 years later. Was an angsty 15 yearold in 1999 now looking back with a great and fond nostalgia. Songs these days really don't hit has hard!
We are old dude....
@@DiegoMendozaParadaxs we are! 🤣
I'm 16 and discovering this, Skunk Anansie is one of the best I've heard yet
Truth. Songs back in the day were and are still real ❤❤
@@ameera.abubakr If you wanna keep discovering, then go for the weirder places: The Vovos for current feminist punk, and Tool for... hell, I have no idea how to describe Tool. Go check them out and decide for yourself.
Jep. Still an absolute masterpiece! The hairs on my arms still stand up when the first chorus hits. Skin's amazing voice is still doing it for me.
Niklas Silen
For me it's the "alone" repeats at the end. I had this disc 15 years ago and this tune still kicks all the ass today.
Those vocal harmonies are the stuff of war anthems. You could vanquish all of Sparta with that sound driving you.
Yasss))
that rare case when a track managed to age gracefully; could have easily been released in early 20's
24 years later and I’m still rocking out to this, thanks Kevin Bacon, thanks Hollow Man
2020 and this song hasn't even aged a single day!!!
Neither has Skin 😅
I grew up listening to their music. Omg I’m just now realizing how lucky I am.
yes, it did, but since you also got old you don't realize it
@@Orjonast meanwhile my skin aged in triplicate lol
Still gives me chills in 2023
Post Orgasmic Chill was one of the first CDs i ever buyed, and it is still one of the greatest! I truly love her voice, just a fantastic band!
The song "Lately" on that album was great as were the other songs.
Bought. Not buyed
@@ekulyarg who cares
@@loveinstars lack of standards. Quelle surprise plus you asked a question. No question mark, lmao.
This song really resonates. Big thank you to Skin and the guys.
How did these guys manage to shoot a music video in my apartment, WITHOUT ME NOTICING?!
😅😅
The massive backing vocals are so under appreciated in this track. Good god! He adds so much depth to the vocal line
didnt even notice it until i read this! great ear ::)
The part of the movie Hollow Man where this song's playing still cracks me up😁👌🏻. This song's the reason I bought Post Orgasmic Chill when it came out and I still love it years later. There's nothing like crankin' CBP in the stereo in the car and singing/screaming along. You get some weird looks but...meh🤷🏻♀️.
Her voice is fucking phenomenal
yup..that's where I first heard this song and had to find it...
Me too....Cranking it in car and searching to prank some little shits....Kevin Bacon and Skin was already a success...The movie was and still is one of my favourites
No clue who this was or why it popped up. 2 minutes in "Holy shit, I know this song because of Kevin Bacon"
I always think of the movie Hollow Man
Dr. Sebastian Caine baby. A criminally underrated villain, from a good film, in Hollow Man. One of my favorites, great song too.
If RUclips algorithms randomly brought that absolute masterpiece to you, means you have exceptional music taste ! ❤
Sounds like self compliment 😂
That breakbeat intro is dope. Love how they incorporated electronica elements into their songs
I wish more people pointed this out. One of my favourite intros to any song. Hearing this song on my Dad’s iPod on drives back home from school as an 8 year old is probably what laid the groundwork for me getting into trying to make some of my own Jungle/DnB stuff recently!
one of the best songs i ever hear, the vocals near the end always brings chills when I heard them.
Always have loved this song, and it has aged very well. Skin's voice is amazing.
This unlocks many memories for me. Never realised how much it sounds like Kashmir as well.
After decades...Hollowman is still bringing me here...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Childhood trauma keeps bringing me here....
Never seen Hollowman.
I miss bands like Skunk Anansie in this day and age. Glad I grew up in a time when music was music.
I saw them open for Sevendust years ago and they were so intense. One of the best live bands EVER
Licking creme baby
Who should open for whom is the question
So true..they are really fantastic live
Heck i would love to hear them both on one concert!
@@Jopkakrolika Sevendust is criminally underrated though... Still a hard choice!
2:00 will forever be sending chills down my spine...the vocals and her facial expression.
Every time, I can still can’t get the scene where Kevin bacon is listening to this in the movie hollow man in his car. Song will never get old
My friend sent me this song yesterday. Couple hours he passed way by a car accident returning for your home. Miss you ma man!! Enjoy your time and your friends buddy, no one knows when we will leave this world 🥀🖤
(())
how is it physically possible to scream so beautifully? Seriously, how??
eran5005 Magic. Pure fucking magic.
this is the matrix effect
She's a natural soprano
Love this comment skin is amazing what a lesson in singing and generally being amazing and an iconic lady she is power
That is the power and the beauty of being a women: we can combine an amazing force and an amazing sensibility in the same body and soul...
Tell it like it is. TELL THEM! Great tune. Thanks Hollow Man!
I discovered this band a month or so. Skin is completely amazing and I have to say everyone in this band is incredible. ❤
For me, personally, it's really an added value when it comes to the listening experience when there is an ethical or moral dilemma being confronted lyrically. The tension between it finds its expression in the song, in the music. It's therefore always a suprise when you come to the conclusion that an emotional response was triggered just by listening. As they say: music speaks louder than words.
Greets, Belgium, Brussels
Cool track though right?
Yes, the video holds clues to the song - and to the rage
"the music" will not get any better in the future. this song is more than 20 years old and comes in my mind from no where
Music has no age bro. Good music will be listened to forever. And there is good music today to. Just like in the 90's. And the 70s, the 50s, and the 1700s..

Listening in 2023 🎶. Skin, her vocals, this song, this band...timeless
i discovered thanks to the movie hollow man
@@mortensenvick5711facts me too 😂😂
Това никой, никога няма да може да го изпее! Поклон пред божествения талант на тази Певица!!!
Yeah boy!! The song from Hollow Man! Took literally forever to figure it out but worth it.😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🥰😎😎
YES! I love that movie and this song was PERFECT for it! Skin's voice is BEAUTIFUL and BOUNDLESS. Skunk Anansie is AMAZING! ❤
One of the best songs ever!
What a beautiful voice , hope to hear more from this band.
They have a couple cd's brought out in the '90 ties
The song! The video! Skin!!!! = Goosebumps and adrenaline-rush! Just a perfect piece!
The 90´s had the best music!
Hands down, in almost all genre!
Thank you CSI for introducing me to this amazing song
So glad I got to see them live. They killed this one...
One of the most epic songs ever.
Skin is perfection in every way.
Bless the mid-late 90s alt. rock !
*Just seeing a bald black woman with such powerful vocals singing a hardcore head-banging rock song just blows my mind on every level. How exceptionally unique it is to stumble upon something so rare and straight up badass!* Hollow Man brought me here.

I've never heard of this band till now
I like it!
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024
Yes
Ur mother
Да
🤘🤘🤘
Heyoo!
This could of been released yesterday, and I would think it was fresh. Skunks f'n awesome.
They are still touring i see. Will be off to see them next month or two. Can't wait. Excellent!
Brividi brividi,la voce di Skin è unica,mi porta in un'altra dimensione,grazie ❤
she was so stylish that dressing like that today would still be avantgarde
Song, videoclip, everything. This video is just perfect.
Fuckin Awesome song, back then, and still nowadays. Skin is the best female singer ever. What a voice.
Still Today !!!
Fantastic voice and I am really happy about her comeback last year👍👍👍👍👍🌷🌷
Totally beyond time and space. Pure art, just poetry.....Simply perfect
just turned the tv off and heared in the end of a CSI episode that song and oh my gosh thats Skunk Anansie ,, needed to hear it again here..what a great band ..from a great era. powerful.matchless
.alternative rock,.part of my youth.
Easily one of the best songs of 1999, alongside "Emotion Sickness" by Silverchair. Oddly, the ending of this always reminds me of the climax of Porcupine Tree's "Gravity Eyelids" three years later - it's fun playing them one after the other.
Emotion Sickness is awesome! Neon Ballroom is a classic!
Best video on the 20 century. Perfect song. Greeting from Slovakia.
Damn, I remember listening to Skunk Anansie for the first time in the Strange Days soundtrack. Amazing how good music never ages.
Selling Jesus - what a tune.
Goosebumps all over my face. Just incredible
Best Intro EVER
I was born in 2009 but this type of music is still the best
Fantastica che voce!!chi c'è nel 2020??Pavarotti ascolta da lassù!!❤❤❤
What a remarkable voice this woman has ,when she sings ,that vioice sent waves down my spine,one of mt favorite alternative rock bands miss them when they were here South Africa
Don’t know how I got here, but glad I did!
A lone brother… sept 4th 2024
So many things going on with my life right now, and this banger in the background… I will remember this season of my life and this song will be the soundtrack
Классная группа! И у певицы уникальный голос - сильный и нежный!💓👍.
The world needs more skunk anansie
Yes, this has finally come back to me. After so many years. Me and this song are finally united again
Thank you Hollow Man. Thank you Kevin Bacon!!!!
Damn right!🤘🤘
Yess!!!!!😎😦
Real shit lol
I just watched it and had to find the song
Ive watched the movie many times as a kid and I’m just now watching the music video lol
Ok but why am I just hearing this song for the first time in 2021???Of all the videos that have been served up in my feed ... really? Never this? This is awesomeness!!!
23 years ago a masterpiece was released
I was near the front when they opened with this at Pink Pop ‘99. The pit turned into waves of people washing over me. Nearly killed me, no joke. I’ll never forget it though.
The most convincing vocals of all time.
Their music does not age! Absolutely timeless!
I'm a huge Skunk Anansie fan, yet this seriously is one of their best f...ing songs!!!!! Surely???
Never heard of this group before today. Was actually listening to a BBC radio program and was intrigued by Skin's story.
still listening to this in 2016 - what an amazing song!
+La Regina
Not sure how many times i saw this video or listened to this song...
+La Regina recent rock productions are very bad
actually think its BETTER in 2016!
It sounds even better.. I just love it!
Stop living in the past!
I bought this on cassette at a service station on the toe of Italy . Listened to both it and blur 19 all the way back to the UK , it was the perfect accompaniment .
Saw her perform on thé Torhout Werchter festival , the fact she sang so pure and beautiful in open air mesmerised me
I have missed this song from the 90's till now, OMG and what a song!
Never heard of this band before. How!?!?!? WOW!!!
Lots of beauty in the world, you just gotta learn how to look in the unusual places. That means: Avoid the algorithms, they will hide this stuff from you. Make friends with weird people, that should widen your exposure the most.
For example, are you familiar with the Vovos?
This song and video cut right through my head, heart and soul. Absolutely awesome.
In the context of child trafficking and organ harvesting exploding business, this hits me even harder today!!! This could easily be the track for Sound of Freedom and much more. The band is sharp, but Skin's voice is the blade itself!
Oh Skin, you're my one and only music heroine🫡
I remember hearing this 17 years ago while watching Hollow Man. Thank you Kevin Bacon.
Me too.
Me too
thank you chris p. bacon
That's why I'm here now
Me too! Currently watching as I love that movie! 😎
Reminds me of my fire starter days banging 2 prodigy then you blissed n beautied it deb, im all for youz all keeping it Real kicking. Da truth xxx🤩😎😋
Thanks for MTV's Daria, that show helped me to discover so many great artists like her!
how am i only now just hearing about this group? this video is so well put together
I truly have fallen in love with her despite being female *.*
She has a power about her and her voice, the video! Skunk rocks! And I wish I looked damn good balled!!!
balled or bald? Maybe a Freudian slip. The girl got "balls". I hate that phrase though.
I'm a gay male and I fell in love with her 20 years ago! I've got tickets to see the band in June and I'm so excited 🙂
Well she is gay so you never know lol, a fkn awesome vocalist.
@@JoeyBoBo saw them when I was 17! Amazing gig! I'm sure they'll still rock everyone's socks off. Hope you get to go to the gig, what with everything going on at the moment.
@@tasharch well pointed out
man, no one has done it like anansie since.
IT'S SO WEIRD seeing a black female screaming and singing in a Rock Band but it's SO BEAUTIFUL. I wish there were more black rock singers and musicians! The guitar is good, her voice is amazing, everything slay. I'm gonna add this song on my playlist.🔥
