I LOVE the Lemonheads! I was just in Minneapolis and was bummed because I had to miss them. I just found out I'm gonna see them here in KC in 2 days on my birthday! YAY...
I was 19 when this came out and I wished it was longer. The whole LP infact. Then, older and, some might say (although not many), a bit wiser, I realised that's part of its beauty. Like the butterfly. The song is there. Then it's gone. Unless you put it on repeat of course but that's not the point. I've forgotten what the point is except that I was stupid when I was young.
I'm pretty sure that's actress Polly Noonan in the video as well. She talked about the filming of this video and is friends with the band. She was the little girl with the thick glasses on the school bus in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Such a great song, just seen them last night in Hull on their uk tour, even with some major technical issues they soldiered on, still magic after all these years, one of the best :)
I am going through that with a bunch of other bands...THIS ONE, I loved at the time, but I forgot all about them and NOW I am enjoying them like never before!!! We are all Time Travelers!❤

I met him after a show in DC back in the day...we were both 26. We talked alot, he talked about Australia, he told me that I should not be working at a think tank in DC, we kissed!, and I went home. The next morning, I went to work at the think tank, and I told the story to my co worker who had a quirky sense of humor and put a post it note on my office door, dubbing me Reneee Lemon! Days later, I was in line at the grocery store and there he was on People Magazine, one of the 50 most beautiful people, wearing exactly what he was wearing the night I met him! I go to trivia and my friend, the host, often plays a Lemonheads song. She was fascinated by and could not believe how cool my story. I hope he is well... didn't look like he was doing too great, lately?
He was living in Sydney at the time and co-wrote the song with an Australian mate. I remember the Sydney indie-scene showed him (envious) snobbish disrespect, like Sydney's alt-pub-rock scene was way too cool for him. Screw those posers, it's a beautiful song.
@@BrettGrady-vf4kx i was only 3 in 1992 when this song came out lol. but dnt wrry y'all, i'm with ya. Been a lot of hard and kinda sad, grinded years for me since 1992 too....
Y'all have nothing to complain about in terms of "old". I was 37 when it came out. I loved the song then, and I still play it on my guitar at least once a month.
Literally. Peretez was going to Harvard while touring between semesters, lol. Julianna Hatfield replaced him as bassist who went to a top tier school so you are probably right, lol. One thing that was kind of cool though is it was nice to take a break from the alt that made you feel more suicidal. But it was definitely bubblegrunge.

Their music was always so listenable
One of my favorite songs of the 90s.
Same
What a perfect little pop rock gem. Simple & just wonderful.
Seeing them perform tonight again! It has been so long
It's just a brilliant song👍
Evan is an angel and probably Jesus of alternative Rock. May he stay forever young… .
This whole album is amazing. Every song on it brings back so many good memories. Evan and the bands best work👍
Wonderful song❤

Back then you couldn't just look someone up on the internet either. When people were gone they were gone.
This extended rayyy is magical 1:17
Gives me goosebumps.Been jamming it since the 90s.:}

Does he still have long hair?
jealous
Yes @@OllieInArlington
Its a shame ive only discovered this song today.
better than never, kindred spirit
@@lurchbag1671 Indeed.

Yes .. that's a shame ..omg
Is your name Ray?
It is a perfect 90s-indie pop song. It's not Evan fault he was so cute!
0:19 I can relate to that. I forget people’s names a lot. 😂
"It's a shame about Ray" lyrics. 🤘🎸🎤 I've never been too good with names
The cellar door was open, I could never stay away
I know it's probably not my place
It's either-or, I'm hoping for a simple way of saying
It's a shame about Ray
In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away
It's a shame about Ray
(Put it away)
If I make it through today
I'll know tomorrow, not to leave my feelings out on display
I'll put the cobwebs back in place
I've never been too good with names, but I remember faces
It's a shame about Ray
In the stone, under the dust, his name is still engraved
Some things need to go away (shame, shame)
It's a shame about Ray

Whatchu talking about in those lyrics?
Rayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 💚
I don’t know how I’m just now finding JD in this music video , but I’m so grateful I came across this. Love this song.
We all miss you Ray Doggie.

Cool story. I saw him last year and he seems a little bit in shambles.
@@kenphillippi2822 Aww

@@kenphillippi2822 you'll be in shambles after your fourties too.
@@kenphillippi2822What does that mean, exactly? That he simply doesn’t look like he is 25 anymore or that something is truly wrong with him?
1:15 My favorite part
This seems so long ago now. I was 20 when this song was out. What happened, when did we get old.
I was 17, full of hope and optimism, had a great 7-8 years ahead of me, been a bit of a grind and disappointment since then...I feel your pain.

Right I feel ya
Oh yeah! Tell me about it! I turn 55 next week but in my brain, I’m still stuck in the 90’s
Smooth.
Take me back to college gittin old sucks x
into their arms
Tune
I missed Juliana Hatfield in 1998 at her show in Baltimore ; )
So looking forward to hearing them play rhe entire album.
0:24 Johnny Depp! 🤩
Had a driving instructor called Ray, he was a dick, so this song has a special place in my heart
Great song, lingers in ur mind and let's ur soul streeetch out
I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more jangly guitars!
Finding Juliana Hatfields “Only Everything” in a CD Album bundle brought me here
Her music rules!!
this song reminds me of that ethereal feeling caught by steven wilson
Just lost my friend Ray. This helps.
Sorry for your loss, sending hugs 🫂
I'm Ray 👍🏼👍🏼
Why isn't Juliana on bass in the video??
I want to go back.
It’s not fair and it’s not right ❤
"Some things need to go away, it's a shame about Ray". Most of us have known a "Ray".
Yes same here
Filmed at his old placeb4 fame n $$ right b4 Benny n Joon! 21 jump street daze?
This is 93 after 21...
anybody making this sort of music today...recommendations, please no crap
I'd try Alvvays - specifically their song Plimsoll Punks (live version)
Alapaap by eheads..2024
The singer looks exactly like he sounds
Alapaap
Great song! Who's Ray? Any/Everyone with a problem?!
Dinala ako nang Eheads dito, now i know.
Evan does have a voice,SHIP WITHOUT A RUDDER
❤✌👍😏
ALAPAAP
This riff some time like BIG ME from Foo Fighter
Me too😂
alapaap
It's a shame about Ey! :) 1994
Filmed at Johnny Depp's house.....
Johnny seemed to have his finger on the pulse of everything alt rock in the late 80s/early 90s didn’t he?
*Pre AmberTurd
Realmente?
@@SpikeShooter92 Maybe he just stuck around like he does with that pseudo rock band now.
My father wrote this song
What happened to Ray?
Damn the intro is the same as ibtro of ALAPAAD by ERASERHEAD one of the philippine famous band. Damn
Nandito ka ba dahil napanood mo ang vlog ni rakista days?😂
@@dhongsosoy8308 di ko matandaan if siya yun pero oo nandito ako dahil sa vlog hahah
video shows desert looking area, car & trees near the roadside j s dh? Apparently Johnny Depp was in it (d xtn?)
The Lemonheads did a concert at Norfolk State Prison back in the 80's, in Massachusetts
So whats this song about?
I’m a Ray.
He and Johnny Depp were friends until Dando slept with Kate Moss.
Who didn't sleep with Kate? She was so mystified on heroin she didn't know what end was up most of the time.
Sino andito dahil sa Eraserheads?😅
Here to differentiate this tune with Alapaap by E-Heads. Haha.
Voin
00
Is Johnny Depp in the video? He and Evan are two of God's most beautiful looking creatures.
Yep. Johnny is the guy that catches the moth
This is so college
is this a rip off of learn to fly by foo fighters?
@@josephmartin8169 Hahaha.
Lemonheads with the song came out in 1992 while Learn to Fly came in 1999. 🤣🤣🤣
Foo fighters is a rip off of everything
On second thoughts it is a shame and entirely the shame belongs to the guy who wrote this song
This is what happens when you are Ivy League and want to be perceived as Grunge...
Literally. Peretez was going to Harvard while touring between semesters, lol.
Julianna Hatfield replaced him as bassist who went to a top tier school so you are probably right, lol. One thing that was kind of cool though is it was nice to take a break from the alt that made you feel more suicidal. But it was definitely bubblegrunge.
I never heard any of it as I was busy with my bands playing a lot of clubs
*lol @@ambivalentdisaster673
🤣 unlike Kurt, the real deal, dude
This is a lot better than gunge, grunge, gurnge etc.
