These guys were second stage at lallapalooza. A band cancelled and they took main stage. They deserved main stage from the beginning. I was blown away.
@@JRANDALL93 - I remember that year…but we had Tool headlining the main stage when Korn didn’t show. I did watch Failure on the side stage though, and it was good 😉.
this is so simple, only three guys to play it, a simple bass line, simple drum beat, no crazy guitar tabs, no extremely fast or high vocals, but its still one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard i listened to this hundreds of times but every single time i come here the existance of such songs stones me
It’s really rare for a drummer to just settle into a beat, and not react to anything going on in the song. It’s almost hypnotic. Another great song like this is breaking the girl by the chili peppers.
I'm typically a fan of very busy drumming, but I have to agree with you. Like @Smoove_J said, I think it becomes very hypnotic. This is such an incredible song.
My mom was alive when I discovered this song. She's been gone since 05/05/2019. I still love this song to this day. RIP mom. We didn't get along, but I will always love you. Until we meet again.
Is it possible to listen to your favorite song from your favorite broken up band so much that you fall into an alternate timeline where that band reunites and is better than ever and all of your dreams are coming true without you realizing it?
This song always makes me feel high without taking anything. Something about the bass tone and the melody makes feel heavy things. Not sad, but something similar to it. And I can’t get enough of this song
That's a good way to describe Failure. Not sad, but something similar... I was also just thinking about it at work today, how a lot of music I like isn't really similar to Failure. I like a lot of stuff with a groove to it... stuff that reaches the soul. Failure doesn't really reach the soul so much as the psyche... which in turn has an effect on the heart, but its not as direct as other music. A thinking man's rock band. (I mean, sure its moody as hell sometimes, so maybe my description doesn't hold up to close scrutiny with every song lol. Also mainly talking about Fantastic Planet and the lack of syncopation... kinda wish they would do more stuff like that. Their new stuff is awesome and heavy, but it has a totally different beat to it. I think Ken even described it once, and I thought yes! That's what I'm picking up!)
@@HumFan it's one of his pet peeves, and mine too.. the creator of seinfeld and curb your enthusiasm... yeah, when people use "heavenly or like heaven" to describe something on Earth it supposedly angers him. i know it angers me, as there is nothing heavenly about this place that doesn't come from the perfect Spirit of God... i'm no perfect, are you? i need the mercy, grace and truth of christ jesus to go to heaven.. music, as a musician, is not something i highly esteem. even though this is ok music. oh, we never went to "outer space"
I think it’s safe to say we have a strange instance of one’s voice improving with age. Probably because he’s not been non-stop touring over the years, but I’d say Ken’s voice is better here than it was live back in the 90s. A strange but nice thing to see
Just discovered Failure 2 weeks ago....Havn't stopped bumping their music since. I feel sorry for the rest of the world that doesnt know this song exists. Ill spread the word for sure. This song is ridiculous!
I'm 46 years old and just now discovering this song, but I feel like I've known it all my life. Listening to this feels like I'm in my early 20s at 2am, mildly intoxicated and thinking about Her, whoever She may be.
I just lost my best friend to an overdose. This was one of both of our favorite songs. And it feels so weird listening to it now. It's always been beautiful but this is the first time it's made me cry. F*** opiates. F*** heroin. F*** fentanyl.
Only discovered these guys about half a year ago. This is my favorite song. So simple, but it really gets in your head. That bass has the perfect amount of distortion!
If you ever get the chance to see the live go for it! Everybody including the drummers amazing they swap base and lead for the entire show depending on what day it is or something I don't know, it's just cool you can see them doing both
Smth abt this song makes me wish I had someone, and I used to cry sometimes listening to this song bc it reminded me so much about this girl that I liked for a very long time and I wasn’t able to ask her out, out of a combination of fear and her own inaccessibility bc of an extended quarantine. I would literally be in TEARS. I got over her eventually, but this song still holds a place in my heart where I feel longing when I hear it. I know this song probably isn’t about love and heartbreak, but that’s how I interpreted it and therefore that’s how it affected me
The solar panel's shining face Is smiling back on me Twisting off into the sun It's okay to be lonely All my missions float away I never trained too hard I'm so caught up in the tree of stars Falling in my backyard She'll always be what I can't find She'll always be where I break down She'll always hide behind a star I'll always dream she can't be far I've got no Houston to whine down to I've got no protocol Gravity's so far away Wrapped on that shrinking ball I eclipsed my memories Sleeping inside this pod Patient time will carry me On her back without a sigh And I won't let her down Her soul is celestial-bound And if I'm never found She'll always be
To me it makes them extra special. Like cruising around space listening to a pirated radio station that only plays the finest of music from pre-apocaypse earth.
Placebo seem to have been massively influenced by this band, just like many others. Why, oh why, didn't I hear about this band 10-20 years ago? It breaks my heart thinking of all the memories I could have had with this band and this song in particular.
@@nimhard their debut self-titled album was really fucking good, and so was their 2nd album "Without you I'm nothing"... Went to shit after that, however they still had some shining moments here and there though, especially on their 5th album "Meds".
The three stages of John wick (referring to their hair) Im not a musician, want to get a guitar but its always the simple and slow songs that are underrated.
Failure are 100% my favourite band of the 90s. Their songwriting, instrumentation, themes of social isolation and addiction are only matched by Alice in Chains IMO. The fact this band never made it into the big 5 is tragic but also strangely fitting in a bittersweet sense.
Nice, a fellow AIC and Failure fan? Yeah they're the only bands that can capture that haunting beauty im looking for in music while still being heavy and gritty af.
I was in studio watching this live - what an absolutely insane experience to listen to this for a decade then drink my morning coffee watching them play. Will always remember that.
Strange choice seeing as the song is about the impossibility of finding the woman who is idealized in your mind. Even when you have a great woman, your mind still wanders to "she can't be far" when you're faced with your current partner's imperfections
their sound is so perfect for taking you to a place that's hard to talk about - a place where you want to cry, want to be held, want to explore, want to open yourself up and completely soak up another person or idea. this song will always make me think of a person who means the world to me. whether or not that works out is irrelevant. I met you at a strange time in my life - and you are the love of my life. you reminded me that life is worth living - you are what I couldn't find, and where I break down. thank you so much for giving me purpose again, and for reminding me that life is beautiful. my love for you knows not limits.
The only song of Failure's that I heard have any airplay was "Stuck On You." That was back in the mid nineties. It wasn't until aught-four that I actually bought the Fantastic Planet album, and when I heard this song, I was totally blown away. It only took listening a handful of times for me to conclude that it is my favorite song of all time and has been so ever since. That whole album is fucking amazing. Failure is truly a phenomenal band.
My only crime towards you guys is not finding out about you guys sooner damn. How did I miss you guys is beyond me but I'm glad I know about you know. Keep rocking 🎸
How does this only have 30k views? I just stumbled upon Failure a few days ago, they give me hope for the future of music, God knows radio mostly doesn't. Feel very lucky to have come upon them, will be buying everything they've released.
Whoah.. one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Definitely much better than original studio version which was flawless anyways. There is not a single unnecessary note or drum beat.
Crazy that failure blew up, well deserved though. I got into them in 2002, no one knew who they were and they had already been broken up for years. Imagine actually being aware of them back when they were a band. What a wild journey for a band.
One of the most overlooked bands of the 90s. I was able to see them with Swervedriver (another overlooked band) together in 2019. So damn good. It brought back my 90s boner.
I just found out about Failure after Youtubing The Nurse Who Loved Me by APC. . . . It pain's me to know there are other gem's out there that I have never heard of.

The guitar is actually a littlebit hard to play if you have big fingers, cause its all in one position :D . But I agree with you 100%
Well, Kens voice is an instrument in and of itself. There’s more going on than you think. These are 3 incredible musicians.
This is why you love failure. There is a world for you to explore, if you want it...
Okay Van Morrison
@@b4u992 straight to the soul. could be sole, depending on boots at the time, or maybe it was lunch.
I’ve listened to this song over 40 times today and still isn’t enough
It is the sort of song I always come back to. My most listened to song for two years.
The live versions keep it fresh and sweet
yeah ive stuck it on replay for hours before
I could listen it forever in an infinite loop that remains on my grave yo the eternity ❤️ what a song!
It's a beautiful fucking song man....
keeping the same drum pattern for over 5 minutes is a testament to the restraint and talent of the drummer.

A glint of shoegaze, indie rock, dream pop, post-grunge, always liked Failure.
Post-grunge? This song was written in like 93
They never quite fit in with the grunge stuff going on. Plus, this song came out on Fantastic Planet, which was 96’. Grunge was winding down.
@@photonfartsqueeze6694 good band, nevertheness. Grew up during the early 90's
post-hardcore
@@synthoelectro Oh, I didn’t mean to disparage the band. They are absolutely fantastic. Really confident and well arranged playing and songs.
I want to climb inside this song and live in it
it's ok to be lonely
This song is from the voice of a drug addict who is watching his life fade away. Shouldnt take it as advice...
I didn’t write it they did,,
it's ok to be yourself
I READ THAT AS HE SANG IT
Not always...
2:57 I think is one of the most beautiful moments in 90s rock
I could still cry for the fact they reformed after all those years and let the world know they're (still) fucking awesome.

Maynard from Tool is responsible for them reuniting. He asked them to play at his 50th birthday party
New album is so good
Been at the Minneapolis show, just 200 ppl in a very tiny place, one of the best live experience of my life ❤
The bass is so heavy
You've held it?
@@whothennow24 Gave me a good laugh to start me day😂😂
Love it
Check out Small Crimes, Heliotropic, and Mange if you want more of that heavy bass from Failure.
Something powerful about a mostly ambient song with a nasty overdriven bass tone
This song always makes me feel high without taking anything. Something about the bass tone and the melody makes feel heavy things. Not sad, but something similar to it. And I can’t get enough of this song

god ive used those exact words to describe this song, it feels so heavy, and something just slightly off of sad
sublime (the feeling not band)
The drumming is hypnotic
"and I won't let her down... my soul is celestial bound..."
love that simplicity and modesty exercise on drums... less is more!
YES!! its all about feel and atmosphere...
I saw them at Lollapalooza 97 and didn't know failure at all and this drum beat was stuck in my head for years.
Kellii mf'n Scott!
Which is good.
this is my favorite song ever made. thank you, Failure
Jesus what is it about this song that makes me feel so giddy after I listen to it? Just a perfect song, but then again the whole album is perfect.

They've all aged impressively, latest music just rocks beautifully like I'm not sure I've not died and gone to heaven.
Also not screaming your guts out is helpful ;)
It even sounds better than the studio version, this version is superb in every way.
Agreed. Ken is a far better singer than in the 90's.
Still listen to this 15 times a week, if not more.

The solar panel's shining face
Is smiling back on me
Twisting off into the sun
It's okay to be lonely
All my missions float away
I never trained too hard
I'm so caught up in the tree of stars
Falling in my backyard
She'll always be what I can't find
She'll always be where I break down
She'll always hide behind a star
I'll always dream she can't be far
I've got no Houston to whine down to
I've got no protocol
Gravity's so far away
Wrapped on that shrinking ball
I eclipsed my memories
Sleeping inside this pod
Patient time will carry me
On her back without a sigh
And I won't let her down
Her soul is celestial-bound
And if I'm never found
She'll always be
I think these might actually be my favourite lyrics. Genius.

To all of you who witnessed this live and in person………. You have no idea what you saw !!!!!!!!!!
