After 29 years I heard this lovely song again while they played it one WDR4. I was driving on a German highway towards the sinking sun at the horizon. I was driving back straight into the memory lane of the nineties.
harmony? can be interpreted so many things, was the time until today so different? no and yes! should one look in everyone's time schedule ,, what was there? ask the affected ... this is how it usually stops, a complicated question !! .. this is how we stand without an answer! helo folks. Music is art above all other art! helo helo to this is the question I / we are wondering about a final answer ?? we listen well ?? ,,,,, yes! therefore they !! you !! is there to give us unlimited choice of fantasy or reality! God! wish you had a good band with good lyrics and good apt questions !!! Love you! wish it was my song!
UGH! I should never have sent this message!feel like rotten in the system. Hi you!I have son who is the same age as you. I'm so sorry, this should never have happened!!!
@@vegardanielsen8542 You got a 42 year old son? So, you‘re around 60+? BTW, I think it’s REALLY cool that you didn’t simply edited or deleted your weird message. That takes some balls. 🙂 I’d ask you about the drugs you were on, but then again, it must have been something psychedelic- like shrooms or anarchy 😂😂 I hope it wasn’t just alcohol, because it only lowers inhibitions. It doesn’t change what we feel or think. Mind, does your post make sense to YOU? Just curious. You know, I used to study languages and literature, but even Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot make a lot more sense. 😂😂 Anyway, just to be sure: I said „harmonics“. Not harmony.
Messaged my local radio station "what was your playlist 2 weeks ago between 6 and 8 pm? please!" because I could not get it out of my head. And the boss of the radio station himself replied with their entire playlist, what a legend.
In my eyes & ears one of the most perfect songs of all time. Easyly at the same level as the best songs of The Stones, Michael Jackson, Joe Cocker to name only a few. It creates way more than just good music, it combines lyrics, voice, sound, deeper meaning and fantasy to a world of it‘s own in mind&soul😃
One of the best songs ever written and performed, one of the best music videos ever, one of the all time favorite guitar solos and one of the coolest "girl bands" ever!
No auto tune, crude language, synthesized beats, or visuals that make no sense, whatsoever..which is refreshing! Just pure talent, beautiful voices, soul filled lyrics, and actual music!! You can see and well as feel the pain in the song, which makes you saddened by it, but love it at the same time! Pure GOLD!! ❤️
Geht mir ähnlich. Ich bin echt nicht nah am Wasser gebaut, aber dieser Song löst irgendwas in mir aus. Aber kein Gefühl von Trauer...eher ein Glücksgefühl.
@@derostpreue2226 Dito..keine Trauer..eher "nur" wehmütige Gedanken an meine Jugend (so kitschig das auch sein mag ;-))..und das obwohl Shakesperars Sisters eigentlich so gar nicht meine Musik ist und war..aber so was von schön...
Mir geht es genauso. Meine Kindheit war in den 90ern und habe bis zum heutigen Tage schon viel erlebt. Freunde kamen und gingen, man wird älter, leider sind auch viele nahe Menschen von früher verstorben. Es macht einen sentimental und man denkt oft über die „unbeschwertere“ Zeit nach, die man früher hatte. Zumindest war es in der Kindheit und Jugend leichter, so ist zumindest mein Gefühl. Man schwelgt irgendwie in Erinnerungen, denkt an Momente und Situationen, die es so nie wieder geben wird.
having worked with Eric clapton for many years as a songwriter and guitar player I'm sure marci picked up some tips ,the feel and vibrato are some of the best in a guitar solo ever
I was turning 16 by that time and I remember the first time that I listened to this song : what the hell is this amazing sound...?? Of course, since then, I'm a solo guitar lover. Because of this guitar solo. One of the greatest songs ever. The 90" s were unique.
...песня про две души Шекспира...одна безумна,вторая влюблена...так и творили своё Искусство втроём...на Волю их надо отпустить...вы вольны сами выбрать,где и с кем быть...моя Любовь с вами...и Бог с намт❤❤❤...
There lyrics and voices and harmonies are brilliant but THE VIDEOS for me are what push them to the next level of creativity. The drama! The spectacle! The deep detached gaze in her eyes, the connection and bond they share , all so well played! The video have this way of blending past and future reality and sifi fantasy. The emotional telepathy is what I enjoy the most! Not just hearing them but Watching them ! Shakespeare indeed.
I'm sure they say love ! However if I am wrong because I am half death I like to believe they say love even if I am wrong because Love is certainly a strange thing
I'd just lurched into my late 20s and was feeling shattered after years of overdoing the partying. This song captured my mood perfectly. Fabulous pairing. I remember feeling gobsmacked when I saw Siobhan as part of this band in 1989 with 'History'. Mind blowing contrast to Bananarama!! Each song a gorgeous gem.
Люблю их слушать, они живые, настоящие, у них талант от Высших Богов. Особенно композиция STAY. Я еще тогда в старших классах учился, так и запомнил ее. она как-бы высечена на камне души... STAY!!!... Благодарю Вас Shakespears Sister!!!
@@briantitchener4829 Hi Brian, may be he/she is too young, or has no really known about the text. Due to my English is not mother's, I need at first to research for the lyrics and translate them, and, sure - to understand. After it I hear this song WITH the text, and not the music only. And the pictures are great and the part of the whole story. Greetings from Russia
Heard the song now and then on the radio since it came out, but never seen the video until now and wow, it hits so hard for some reason. A visual masterpiece really.
listening to the music of our youth yearning to return home to a place that no longer exists. Cherish the present because once it's gone it's gone forever.
Thanks for steering me here...I have this album, but haven't listened to it in over a year. Tonight I listened to the whole album. :) 2020, sill listening.
I remember when I heard this song for the first time. I didn't know a word of English, but music .. so many years have passed, I learned the language. But the MUSIC!
Never the most shredding, or technical, or overly amazing guitar solo but damn if it doesn't fit SO damn well and it always brings tears to my eyes with the pleading tone of the guitar.
¡¡¡ Bellísima canción !!!! 1992....aaaaah !!!! Qué recuerdos sublimes de aquel año de mi vida.... Me llena de nostalgia .😞😞😓 Adoro la melodía , las voces , el sonido de aquella guitarra y ese hermoso videoclip.
Absolutely no song writer in the last 20 years could write a song as good as this... true music
Agreed
Exactly!
That's bull. But it's a great song.
But this song is 30 years old. Unfair. ;-) This music was pure art.
'Life is a strange thing, just when you think you've learned how to use it, it's gone' one of the most powerful lines in music.
Yes, I grow older and still remember this line.. so true.
Yes, I agree!
Absolutely true!!!❤❤❤
Yes, absolutely true
😢😢
1992 was a wonderful year, oh boy do i miss it..
How's that? For me, it was awful!
It was ace, rave scene in full swing, clubbing every weekend, music was brilliant, I was having a blast
One of the greatest bands, unknown, unnderrated. How beautiful are the lyrics, the harmonies? How is this band so unknown?
SHAKESPEARE'S SISTER HAVE NEVER BEEN UNDERRATED...THEY R AT THE VERY TOP
I DONT THINK THIS BAND IS UNKNOWN..IVE ALWAYS KNOWN
#1 8 weeks in the UK with "Stay"
Ex Bannarama👍

There's an a missing...in the banana.
😊😂😉
Lots of people saying this is one of the most underrated songs ever. They beat me to it! Simply fantastic.

Tell me about it.
On a single I owned, this was side B, and it for sure had the most playtime
One of the greatest songs of the late 20th century.... Astounding. Largely ignored sadly, I'll keep it as an undiscovered treasure.
Yes I fully agree and what's worse is its my favourite song on Hormonally Yours that no one normally knows since they all remember Stay!
Sean Egan I agree Sean I'd forgotten this wonderful track
I fully agree!!!!
Totally agree. I was 17 when the album came out and it's still one of my favourites. Just so different for back then and even now.
u r so correct this is a diamond
A generation on, the power of this only increases. A song for a full human life, for all ages, for all.
I think you are very wrong there. Many people surely don't like their music at all.
I don't think that you do understand it at all!
Existential, astral and aural beauty personified!
Seeing
them both as support to ATF enjoyed constables
This is a hidden gem to many , the guitar rift, Omg goosebumps
Agree

I heard it today on WDR4 in my car hahaha! Fortunately they told the name of the band. And now I am enjoying it here.

Harmonic = chord ?
In my opinion, one of the best lines of lyrics ever written: Life is a strange thing. Just when you think you've learned how to use it, it's gone.
Such an unsung gem. Marcella’s guitar lead is an absolute lesson in “less is more”.
The definition of a masterpiece.
Messaged my local radio station "what was your playlist 2 weeks ago between 6 and 8 pm? please!" because I could not get it out of my head. And the boss of the radio station himself replied with their entire playlist, what a legend.
An absolute masterpiece..sends shivers down my spine..
It is a masterpiece I very much agree
Two very talented people. This song never gets out of date, neither do they.
I agree
One of the most underrated songs ever
Couldn't agree more, never got the recognition it deserved
@@martinmain5408 Hell I rated it!!!
Should be. Production costs are huge.
Why underrated? Top hit!!!!!

Das erste Lied, wenn die Disco öffnete, und das letzte Lied als 'Rausschmeißer'. Unsere beste Zeit als Jugendlicher 👍
Life is a strange thing, just when you learn how to use it, it’s gone. What a masterpiece of a song and that guitar ❤️
Piękne słowa, dziękuję za nie.
The harmonies on this song are out of this world. This is so much better than "Stay" in my opinion. Just much more emotional and resonates more
No auto tune, crude language, synthesized beats, or visuals that make no sense, whatsoever..which is refreshing! Just pure talent, beautiful voices, soul filled lyrics, and actual music!! You can see and well as feel the pain in the song, which makes you saddened by it, but love it at the same time! Pure GOLD!! ❤️
Finally someone can put it into words ❤️
So the pigs sitting in their laps made sense to you? I don't really get it. I agree with the rest of your comment, except I like synthesized beats.
No less sense than a couple of nineties chicks dressed as old timey sluts playing guitars and cat's cradled in a tiny closet?
Genau, einfach nur für die Seele!
the greatest song by this group
After "Stay", I totally agree. :-)
@@williamsomerset1250 Problem is the record is full of great songs all of them but if forced to choose the best for me it would be Moonchild

@thulsadoom
Ich kann's absolut nachvollziehen. Know what u mean.
That has to be one of the best guitar solos! Timeless masterpiece.
I guess Dave Stewart give couple of guitar lessons to Marcella :)
Irony?
having worked with Eric clapton for many years as a songwriter and guitar player I'm sure marci picked up some tips ,the feel and vibrato are some of the best in a guitar solo ever
Es steht in einer Reihe mit Berothers in Arms
Smashed her
Incredibly, heard it on the radio the other day and took me back to those magical 90s. Miss great songs like this one
Talent. Authentic. Relatable. Timeless. This song will never age. Thank you ladies. Masterpiece.
Great and amazing song ❤
After 35 years, still cry'in me😢
I was turning 16 by that time and I remember the first time that I listened to this song : what the hell is this amazing sound...?? Of course, since then, I'm a solo guitar lover. Because of this guitar solo. One of the greatest songs ever. The 90" s were unique.
One of the most underrated songs of the 90's, without a doubt!
The best female group EVER!!!The best 'Hello' EVER!!!
They just had the perfect blend of voices. I miss radio.
Siobhans face is hauntingly beautiful when she looks close at the camera .
I had EXACTLY this reaction to the video. Siobhan kinda defined my standard of a beautiful woman, still does.
So glad they're back!!!
Who else is here to celebrate?
Got my tickets!!!
Didn't realise it would sell out so quick.
GLASGO sold out :-(
I’m seeing them live! It’ll be amazing to see them :) my mum was a fab of them
Init
They're back???? I didn't know! :O
A beautiful song.. God such a masterpiece from the 90s..pure talent from these underated musical geniuses..well done girls..
Magical. Haunting. A dusty gem of a song. One of those songs that gets better every time you hear it.
I realized it was a pretty good song when it was released, but now I have to admit it's a (sadly overlooked) masterpiece.
This song is like finding a missing friend. I missed it so much.🌹
I agree it reminds me my best friend with The same soul.It was 30 years ago
The Bates cover is great
Ill be that friend! You found me 😁
That guitar! A jewel of a song
How good is that guitar solo. Exceptional.
Haha I was just going to say that again. What a hidden beauty of a solo. Very impressive.
Props Nigel on recognizing the build up
Simple and brilliant. I love how it interrupts one of the chorus and then joins in at the end again.
This is just beautiful
A shiver overcomes me each time I am listening to this song! Fantastic!
A true rock moment at 2:50 : "What if I clapped in the middle of your guitar solo?", and somehow it works beautifully :)
The most underrated band of the nineties
Their absolutely best song out there! The lyrics are so so touching! (Thank you Siobhan!)
I was borned after Siobhan 1958, 29.09..For me is great privilege!! ☘️💚

My life Marie i was 15 , knew of siobhan fahey in banarama, she left and rebelled and oh boy this is a classic still till this day
They were so underrated. This song, especially.
Never the most shredding, or technical, or overly amazing guitar solo but damn if it doesn't fit SO damn well and it always brings tears to my eyes with the pleading tone of the guitar.
Just bought a tear to my eye.ive always loved that song.and always will.
