Every now and then you hear something so original you can barely process it at first. My first few listens of Morphine, like my first few listens of Portishead, gave me all this dissonance and darkness. And then something changes inside you, and suddenly it all sounds fantastic. They bent my brain in a new direction, and I love it. And that sax break ends (3:47) with the baddest motif in the history of saxophones. Da-duh, da-duh, da-duh, da-duh-huh. All leading up to that final note.
You know what I really like in this band? They change people. You can't just casually listen to them, their music crawls in your skin and stays forever if you let it. And that's a good thing - I can honestly say, that this music changed me for good and taught me good things
Each time I hear Morphine, I remind myself how thankful I am I saw them live. Not only that, I spoke to Mark after the gig and he signed my cassette of Like Swimming. I guess I am boasting a bit. But you'll forgive cos you know how much Morphine mean to you too.
это моя любимая песня у Morphine . узнала я о ней от человека, с которым у меня невзаимная любовь.я не признавалась и не буду, это останется секретом в моём сердце.об этом никто не узнает, потому что мало людей слышали эту песню и в целом что-то об этой группе.💔
Sitting on the metro and listening to Morphine over and over again, like a medicine for the soul. Sometimes I need to shut the door to the outer world and just nest inside. Morphine knew better. They knew the palette that colours our dreams, desires, fears, darkness and light. Never have I ever found a better soundtrack to navigate my inner waters.
So here i am, sipping wine at 3am to this moody & gloriously dark album, melancholia hits & a sudden deep sense of beauty that only Mark knew the secret of. What a beast of an album, what a treat to my lonesome soul. Nothing will ever come close to how good this band is, was..nevermind..
si no es la mejor canción de morphine está muy cerca. la letra es increible, el solo del saxo la rompe toda, el groove de la batería no se queda atrás; pero a mí lo que más loco me vuelve es la bajada siniestra que hace el piano cuando mark canta "i dropped it on the floor" justo antes de entrar al estribillo... te juro que me rompe la cabeza
El Paso, Texas. Venía conduciendo mi camioneta Bronco 1984 una noche de niebla cerrada. A las 2:00 am decidí parar en un nightclub al.costado de la ruta. No había muchos autos afuera, pero al entrar me sorprendió la cantidad de gente que había allli. En determinado momento se bajan las luces del local y comienza a sonar esta canción. Subió una chica a hacer su número. Se creó una atmósfera de misterio, oscura, sensual, teatral, artística. Podías percibir el perfume de la chica en el aire, era sutil, otoñal, te cautivaba, era como estar al lado de una estufa a leña en invierno (probablemente la fragancia era By the fireplace). El show activaba tus sentidos al máximo. La gente estaba extasiada. Cuando el número terminó vi gente llorar, reir, aplaudir, gritar, eufórica, se abrazaban unos a otros. Fue una locura. Era como estar dentro de un cuento de Carver.
@@bazookahorse You know what, I've gotten so confused about who plays on which track. If I remember correctly, Jerome said on a podcast that some of the songs on The Night had both of them playing. Apparently Mark wasn't satisfied with either of them and wanted kind of a Frankenstein of them both.
Thanks for posting! One of my favorite songs off one of my all-time favorite albums. I listened to this album so often on my first trip to San Diego it's become a permanent association for me. As well as an essential part of all subsequent visits there. This album & the beach in Encinitas compliment each other well.
Thats one of the most climatic and Deep songs i have ever listened to. For me its great that Morphine are a band that nearly noone listen to. It separate It from the trash that they broadcast in tv and radio. But why they are so underestimate... dont know really.
It’s like saying no one likes eating truffles. Millions appreciate them but a small percentage of 7 BILLION. I’d much rather have a cult following than be a worldwide celebrity. But I do know what you mean when lames start to latch onto great music you’ve loved in the minority. I know it shouldn’t effect how I feel about them at all but I can’t lie, it does. RIP Mark Sandman
I was relieved to find a discussion happening here :') This tune is so huge it's vast, so rich, so rank and sexy at the same time, pure style, and it also gets to be a trip hop song taken in a different direction, which is something I've always wanted to do. A true luxury of a song, able to enhance any situation. It's produced (and ofc written) like a mofo too, low end masterpiece, every time you play it you notice a new layer. And yet in it's essence it's a lesson in simplicity. Hard hitting quality. Only just discovered this band, it was like unlocking some forgotten vault full of fresh wonders. Made it even worse to find out Sandman had died, but then again he did it doing what he loved, and how many can truly say that.
I remember meeting you, we were super low Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones And I remember being this close, but never alone You gave me alittle something to take home I dropped it on the floor I dropped it on the floor Dropped iton the floor I dropped it If I can only remember the name that's enough for me Because names hold the key Names hold key If I can only remember the name that's enough for me Because names hold the key Names hold key Souvenir of nothing Brought home a souvenir of nothing It fits into a pocket A souvenir a souvenir of nowhere Somewhere I've never beenbefore I dropped it on the floor I dropped it on the floor Dropped iton the floor I dropped it If I can only remember the name that's enough for me Because names hold the key Names hold key If I can only remember the name that's enough for me Because names hold the key Names hold key A souvenir of nothing A souvenir of nothing I remember meeting you, we were super low Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones
Check out "Soup, Cosmos and Tears (Bukowski & Morphine straight ahead mash up)" foe this tune (instrumental only) as a great back up to Charles Bukowski reading a poem. And that poem reading is sampled in Apollo 440's "Tears of the Gods"

For me, what makes this song so incredible is that Mark seems to be singing very slightly flat in parts. I'm not sure if it was intentional (it probably was) but it just lends this amazing melancholy vibe to it that I'm not sure would have been achieved had he been pitch perfect throughout. Genius, can't think of many other examples of it

i never did get to see them play. Really one of my favorite bands. Such a dark, wistful, different sound.
Holy hell I’ve said it’s just like swimming so many times.
Weird enough for me to search ‘like swimming’
Peace brother
.. and I painfully & regretfully must remember that I've missed them live, unfortunately. Defenetly ❤

It's impossible not to love at least some of songs of Morphine. I took em from the first day I've heard them 🎶
This sax solo, oh my God!!!
That sax solo is FANTASTIC!
The drum of this song is brutal work
His groove is some next level shit
So clean and tight. Just right.
Bro black metal drum are brutal not slow rock wtf😂😂😂
@@unknowartist6797 drums don't need to be fast and loud to be brutal. If it's grooving so good they're can be brutal too, ain't they're? (imo)
@@Ivankolyvan174 I love morphine..but learn to use the right terms...brutal is used for brutal things

This reminds me of the dark world of David Lynch movies like Lost Highway with Fred Matteson and his sax. Pure dark and weird bliss.
This reminds me of ........ oh, shut! can't remember..... ;)

Jerome Deupree is such an amazing drummer. His groove is incomparable.
Agree. Very smooth and yet so rolling and groovy.
@@etamlix Good description.

Is this Jerome or Billy? Does sound a lot like Jerome's jazzier styling.

Mikołaj Karpiewski It's great for you that one of your favourite bands doesn't have the number of listeners it should have? Way to root for them.
Only "nearly". Some like us do. ;-)

I actually wish they where more well none. Its such an amazing band and they should be reconized as much as the beatles or queen.

One of the best music of all times. Almost no views. Couldn't be better.
I remember meeting you, we were super low
Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones
And I remember being this close, but never alone
You gave me alittle something to take home
I dropped it on the floor I dropped it on the floor
Dropped iton the floor I dropped it
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key
Names hold key
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key
Names hold key
Souvenir of nothing
Brought home a souvenir of nothing
It fits into a pocket
A souvenir a souvenir of nowhere
Somewhere I've never beenbefore
I dropped it on the floor I dropped it on the floor
Dropped iton the floor I dropped it
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key
Names hold key
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me

The Sexophone solo is the meanest thing I've ever heard, it's like Satan's Jazz band fucking love it.

Pesadão na moral
geniuses at work ... especially at 01:21
Background piano sounds a bit like Fiona Apple.
It sounds cliche, but they WERE literally one of, if not THE greatest band that almost nobody listened to.
They were just out of this f***ing world...
