Anyone here discovering The Sound in Dec 2024, all I can say is get ready to immerse in intense, heartfelt lyrics and music from the late Adrian Borland.
All I know is that the Sound lived in my walkman when I used to walk around as a teenager. When I found Adrian was dead a few months after the fact I felt complete remorse that someone who did so much for me when I was down and alone, was dead.
This is the best song by THE SOUND, undoubtedly! I couldn't stop listening to FROM THE LIONS MOUTH all Summer 1982. It supported the depression I had. Life made no sense. I was only 15. At 28, I started a psychotherapy. One of the best things I've ever done. Now, at almost 42, I feel happy. All the nightmares from back then seem to belong to a prehistorical phase of my life.
Think about Adrian every day. It's crazy how now that he's gone, this song is recolored to the point it feels like it's about him. He showed me that silence can speak louder than words. Miss you, buddy.
I strongly recommend to anyone who likes the sound, but not familiar with their whole discography, their live album called "the sound in the hothouse", the one before they break up..it's the music at it's best..genuine singing, heartfelt melodies and some musical composition that hardly anyone has ever attained since...If I had to listen to one single album before I die, it would be it...
Bloody genius. You don't see it often and when you do its tinged with sadness - how can someone like Adrian Borland no longer be around? I hope the rest of the guys are living long and happy lives.
I have their complete collection, and after all these years, I still listen to them pretty much everyday! They had it all, and no one really knew - essentially they never sold out, they really did it - their way!
I ' ve been "Cold Turkey" from the harddrugs on "Winning"......played it over for a hundred times. And I did "Winning". !!!!!!!!! It saved my life.........
Thunder in the air Before a storm that rips Anger in my heart A finger on my lips You showed me that silence That haunts this troubled world You showed me that silence Can speak louder than words Words end in disaster On the rocks, in pieces I know something lives on there But I can't say what it is
Happy 58th birthday, Adrian! There are many people who deserve to reach that age (and higher!) and you were definitely among them. It's been 5 years since I've discovered your music and I'm still loving it and always will.
Absolutely brilliant performance!! Adrian's improvisational solos remind me of Gang of Four's Andy Gill. Very angular, sharp and biting. The perfect contrast to the smooth back up of the band. What a tragedy...you are deeply missed.
Saw The Sound a couple of times in the UK. Once supporting Echo & The Bunnymen and another time sharing the bill with Comsat Angels. Fantastic gigs. I was too young to appreciate the emotion in their work then but, damn, do I ever now. I'll never get tired of listening to The Sound. RIP Adrian...
Thunder in the air, Before a storm that rips, Anger in my heart, A finger on my lips, You showed me that silence, That haunts this troubled world, You showed me that silence Can speak louder than words Words end in disaster On the rocks, in pieces, I know something lives on there, But I can't say what it is, You showed me that silence, That haunts this troubled world, You showed me that silence Can speak louder than words.
Glad to hear that, mate. I'm 17, and this band IS my therapy. They're hitting me with machine gun consistency - I've found practically every song I stumble upon EXACTLY what I'm feeling. A perfect band for my transition.
still my favorite band of all time, Adrian had the gift that i only wish i could have had half of. he is that artists that it feels like he is speaking MY words.
ADRIAN ,Ti ho visto dal vivo nell' 84,avevo e amavo tutti i tuoi dischi,in vinile. Solo ieri ho saputo della tua drammatica morte nel ' 99.Il mio modo di ringraziarti e' pregare per te...che almeno lassu' tu possa trovare la felicita' e la serenita' che qui sulla terra non hai trovato. OM SHANTI OM .
Always end up in this song, when i get this feeling of " "Words end in disaster On the rocks, in pieces -....I know something lives on there .... But I can't say what it is" Moments , experiences, that just happen, and you feel they´re inside you ... but you can´t say , you have no words ... So, JUST FEEL IT...
Absolutely. I'm thankful they were around for as long as they were, to put out such a great breadth of music. Adrian's missed...but I'd rather think about the music he left for everyone.
One of the best live versions of this great song. I love how they extended the song way longer than the studio version. It captures even more the atmosphere and feeling of the song. Charlie
In that years, i saved money and i bought The Sound LPs, all pearls and every time i was so happy; it was everything for me, a passion i still have in the depth of my heart. How many times i listened to your songs! You showed me that silence, thanks the Sound/Adrian Borland, you will be always in my heart.
This video made me feel sade, quiet peacefully.....yes, at the end put a smile on my face... I feel really close to this man ... I m from Argentina, almost anybody know about this band ... but i want them to be hear from people who loves music.
This was absolutely my favorite band when i was in my teens en twenties,im so lucky i saw them perform in a very small venue 10 km from were i used to live. Im realising only now HOW lucky :)))
Beautiful Song! And this rendition of it, is particularly good. Just listen to those tones, the choice of notes - pure brilliance! Seriously who can express in such excellence, and purity of intent as Mr Borland? But really WTF is the song really about - ...."finger on my lips" - really, Adrian? Go, in the Opposite direction, is perhaps what he later alludes to!?!? :-)
Posso dire solo di averli visti dal vivo nel 1984, avevo 20 anni, e ancora oggi quando mi imbatto in qualche loro brano la mia mente arriva dritta a circa 40 anni fa.....
If you cannot resist, buy the album. It's an excellent one. Go to RED SUN RECORDS. RIP Adrian Borland. He died on 26 April 1999. Two days before I got home from Seville. Love to Carlo, Mark, all at Red Sun, and Adolfo Temprano, whom I've never seen again
The album is called 'From the lions mouth ' I downloaded it from somewhere a while ago unfortunately i've forgotten from where but its out there somewhere, good luck its a brilliant album!
Just like with Simple Minds and Echo and the Bunnymen... I am a fool for having judged them by one or two songs and ashamed that I didn't see the brilliance sooner.
Trueno en el aire Antes de una tormenta que rasga Ira en mi corazón Un dedo en mis labios Me mostraste ese silencio Eso atormenta a este mundo problemático Me mostraste ese silencio Puede hablar más fuerte que las palabras Las palabras terminan en desastre En las rocas, en pedazos Sé que algo vive ahí Pero no puedo decir que es
This is not Madrid University, this is the Studio 1 of TVE, in the program La Edad de Oro. Unfortunately this song was recorded but not included in the final broadcast. Usually the program was aired live but this time was pre recorded and they edited leaving 2 songs out, this one and Sense of Purpose, I think. Amazing band. One of the best ever.
@Palominoid I guess because it always got Adrian down that they never broke that barrier. Granted, he was down anyway...but from what I've read, he had a hard time reconciling all the energy and passion the group put into the music with the relatively small splash The Sound's existence made in culture. Whereas, of course, certain other groups made it big without having to pay their dues...or really having genuine music. It's easy for US to look back now and be more OK with it than he was.
@FleshHungryFiend Nearly all of their stuff is. I recommend you get "Jeopardy" and "From The Lions Mouth" right away. You'll freak out when you hear "I Can't Escape Myself". It's wound so tight you'll think reality itself might shatter if it's dropped.

It almost makes me cry. I haven't listened to them in so long. They are brilliant. This band is killer, awesome, tender, sweet and unforgettable,
The mixture of hope and desperation is heartwrenchingly beautiful
you said what was needed

I'm 47 and I can't explain, or even understand why his music is helping me so much ❤️
I'm 30 and I this this music has beaty thank you adrian
100 % agree with you, this song its de most beautifull and sad i ever hear
Rock in Peace Adrian!
This breaks my heart 💔 miss you forever Adrian
amazing band and vocalist. I occasionally chat to Mike Dudley the drummer of The Sound!
Think about Adrian every day. It's crazy how now that he's gone, this song is recolored to the point it feels like it's about him. He showed me that silence can speak louder than words. Miss you, buddy.
Literally the most beautiful song ever written
I strongly recommend to anyone who likes the sound, but not familiar with their whole discography, their live album called "the sound in the hothouse", the one before they break up..it's the music at it's best..genuine singing, heartfelt melodies and some musical composition that hardly anyone has ever attained since...If I had to listen to one single album before I die, it would be it...
I listen to that album at least once a month.
I agree with that , one last hear before my last breath
tears:
"Words end in disaster
On the rocks, in pieces
I know something lives on there
But I can't say what it is"
Great Adrian , plays and sings in your peaceful world. Forever inside me......
graet gr ron

Thunder in the air
Before a storm that rips
Anger in my heart
A finger on my lips
You showed me that silence
That haunts this troubled world
You showed me that silence
Can speak louder than words
Words end in disaster
On the rocks, in pieces
I know something lives on there
But I can't say what it is

Never fails to bring a wee tear to the eye...Adrian you are a legend mate!

You showed me that silence, thanks the Sound/Adrian Borland, you will be always in my heart.
Absolutely masterpiece , and absolutely giant BAND, In fact the most underrated band in english post punk new wave history
grande gruppo anni ottanta tratto da uno dei più bei album di quel periodo r dedicata al compianto Ian Curtis... favolosa canzone
Que músico Adrián
saw them in italy in 1983
Imposible otro igual
Aw. I wondered why it got such a low rating when it's absolutely phenomenal!
Brilliant
Grande Adrian❤
OUTSTANDINGLY BRILLIANT*
INTENSE TO SAY THE VERY LEAST*
quando li vidi a taranto anni 80 fantastici,ke tempi bellissimi
suonarono a taranto ?
At the end of the track, the guitar solo has the style of JOY DIVISION...
ruclips.net/video/MGpBi8HtY1A/видео.html Marina, so very true😎👍🏻👍🏻
@@keith9482 thanks a lot for the link, very interesting!
I AM SPEECHLESS. MY HEART JUST COMPLETELY MELTED. R.I.P. TO THE GREATEST ADRIAN BORLAND AND IAN CURTIS.
This song introduces me in a "thoughtfull" mood. Helps me understand whats is happening, makes me conteplate the fact.
Love them
This video made me feel sade, quiet peacefully.....yes, at the end put a smile on my face... I feel really close to this man ... I m from Argentina, almost anybody know about this band ... but i want them to be hear from people who loves music.
Yes
Pisses me off at how Truly Great they were and all the shite these days like the kings of leon get all the praise, wealth and attention
Never came down under' like so many others of their elk' did in the early 80's so unfortunate not to see this band live! Beautiful track !
Arian Borland will never be out of focus again!
They always bring up a melancholy of the years gone without return. they are the smell of my teenhood.
This was absolutely my favorite band when i was in my teens en twenties,im so lucky i saw them perform in a very small venue 10 km from were i used to live.
Im realising only now HOW lucky :)))
my best sound ever since i was 18 year old!!! now i'm too old! Still i think are the yes band!!!!
This really is so *amazing*...
L'anima è verità ed il vero non è di tutti nell'arte. Credo che questa sia verità assoluta.
Extraordinary...and deeply moving. Bye Adrian...
Nice touch dedicating this to Ian Curtis . Awesome
Thanks for this moment in time.
Spectacular.
Maestro de maestros
Fantastic..

The Sound... The name ain't for fake.
Guitar Ashole of my life ❤
Thanks for this.
Posso dire solo di averli visti dal vivo nel 1984, avevo 20 anni, e ancora oggi quando mi imbatto in qualche loro brano la mia mente arriva dritta a circa 40 anni fa.....

Seeing this, I miss them
If you cannot resist, buy the album. It's an excellent one. Go to RED SUN RECORDS.

Love to Carlo, Mark, all at Red Sun, and Adolfo Temprano, whom I've never seen again
The album is called 'From the lions mouth '
I downloaded it from somewhere a while ago
unfortunately i've forgotten from where
but its out there somewhere, good luck
its a brilliant album!
R.I.P Adrian Borland.You are silent in the air now.
amazing song!!!!
such an interesting band too. great songs
Sure groupe des années 80 j adore nath
Cool
Just like with Simple Minds and Echo and the Bunnymen... I am a fool for having judged them by one or two songs and ashamed that I didn't see the brilliance sooner.
Both Simple Minds and Echo & The Bunnymen got massive. These lads never did. John Hughes should have met them.
i wish i could turn back the clock to the time i was buying their records and was spinning them on my 'Teak' turntable.
Trueno en el aire
Antes de una tormenta que rasga
Ira en mi corazón
Un dedo en mis labios
Me mostraste ese silencio
Eso atormenta a este mundo problemático
Me mostraste ese silencio
Puede hablar más fuerte que las palabras
Las palabras terminan en desastre
En las rocas, en pedazos
Sé que algo vive ahí
Pero no puedo decir que es
Hubo un tiempo en el cual la música y los artistas eran de ley,,,,,,,,, a la att: de mondra y fi
Joder!
Superb!
Great special man
great band great songs...RIP AKB
beautifull
I ♥ them
Depuis la prégnance d' un long jalon . . . En carence de certitude . . . L' instant vital sonne encore . . . X
There are day that I really mais Adrian.... 😥

Ma quando attacchi l'assolo...grazie Adrian...x sempre...
MENTE ATORMENTADA, PERO ESTUPENDAMENTE BRILLANTE, QPD
This is emotional rescue...
Adrian you are amazing! When im dead, hope to meet you somewhere to shake your hand give thanks to you
Fuck yeah
Otra, otra!
adrian ...timid angel
