I totally agree with you. I have been playing music all my life, and I love how the chords in this song work so well. They sound broken and unfinished. And that is what adds to the beauty of this piece.
Love it, so woozy, psychedelic and constantly shifting. My aunt used to babysit me around the time this was released and I distinctly remember her playing it a lot. I have a funny feeling it seeped into my brain and influenced a lot of my musical tastes in the years that followed.
@@BossySwan Indeed so. She really helped The Wild Bunch by paying them a salary. A Swedish lass that came to the Westcountry of England - it boosted her career and theirs. Phenomenal!
As a 50 year old male father from Iowa I am hearing and seeing this song for the very first time. You would think this was produced just yesterday! The complex chord structure of the music, The lyrics( so true today) , and visually stunning effects of the video. Neneh Cherry and her crew were so far ahead of their time. She is Amazing!!
@@errYuck yes it is. It's a complex piece of music when you strip it back compared to most chart music. The verses sound almost jazz like in structure. The key changes are subtle. The string arrangement is sublime too.
Neneh Cherry was a groundbreaker in 80s Britain. Aggressive, unashamedly a mother, appearing on TOTP heavily pregnant, Swedish-born but unmistakeably British, London to be exact. A fantastic artist, never apologetic, and a string of amazing songs.
She grew up in Sweden and America, moved to London when she was 15.She lived in Sweden for some years as an adult around 2014 -. Her name is also Marianne Karlsson.
What’s love mean though? I used to love Amy, but she barely understood I was alive. What’s this all about? I know there are millions of couples that decide they love each other in reciprocation, good luck to them. I hate myself. Why would any girl be attracted to me in any way?
Portobello Road, London, Tesco store fridge section: I first saw Neneh in person circa 1991. She kindly signed my school folder at the checkout and was the sweetest person. She was tiny, well dressed, fresh faced and spoke with a transatlantic accent (a mx of London and NYC). I recall how different her public image was to her private. Nobody at school believed it was her who signed my folder though 😂 Her album was the most played on my Walkman 👍
that's quite a complex chord compression and melody, we rarely hear this on radio anymore. glad stuff like this did make it to the radio. this is a masterpiece classic
There are hints here on what would become Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy, Always loved Manchild, vastly underrated song. The last rap with that string arrangement is just stunning.
Yes, this song would compose nicely with Unfinished Sympathy in the mix, and Unfinished Sympathy would then handsomely be followed by the Streets of Philadelphia. All three are my favorites from 80/90s era..
i think that she actually bankrolled massive until blue lines came out. 3D co-wrote this song and i think that mushroom is the guy in the vid. she even name drops the wild bunch, as massive were known then, on buffalo stance
I agree. I play the keyboard and write music. But there is something unique about these chords. They feel broken & unfinished, but for some reason, in this piece, they work so well.
This song and video blew my little mind at 13 years old. Now at 42, I still return to it from time to time to draw inspiration. That's what you call timeless creative brilliance.
This song is in my top ten and believe me, I have thousands of faves. This is unique, Neneh's vocals, the background scratching, the synthesizers, the video - shaking around and the lyrics... a goosebump song for me. Absolute classic. Thank you Neneh!
C'est L'Artiste que mon père adorait en 1989! Quand ce titre est sorti!!!✨ C'est vraiment une très grande chanteuse avec une superbe voix!✨✨ Le clip est très réussi et cette musique géniale !!❤️❤️❤️
I was 18 and just had a baby when this song came out. It just hits different for me remembering how I felt at that moment... bittersweet memories. I'm 53 now (baby is 35) and I still love this song so much.
I absolutely love Neneh Cherry, I was around 14 or so when I heard Buffalo Stance on radio and fell in love with it in an instant! I have two of her albums and I listen to it very often... she is still one of my most favorite singer/rapper and I absolutely love her music (and all of her music videos as well) Neneh Cherry forever!
The track you always come back to when your a dude in your 40/50's whose been divorced , single or wasted and spent time reflecting on where you went wrong in life man this song just literally sum's it all up for you.
I remember hearing this song for the first time at 4am on a Saturday morning. I was recording a call back show and immediately stopped the tape and listen to the song over and over till the sun came up. Still gives me chills when I hear it. Thank you...
A diamond is a diamond is a diamond. This wonderful song came back into my mind when I was in a kind of melancholic mood and now I just can´t stop listening to it. A masterpiece.
That’s just it. A melancholic mood. That’s what this song is. Melancholy is ‘a pleasurable feeling of sadness’. I miss my boyfriend that I knew when I was listening to this song. He was wonderful. Everything I ever wanted. He went back to the states. My life has never been complete since. Like a sad mirror of what could have been.
Beautiful song, those were the days! All the rap artists and todays genres come from a legacy created by genius artists such as Neneh Cherry. I'll never forget those days.
For those deriding the video: "Neneh Cherry's Manchild. (Director: Jean-Baptiste Mondino.) Nothing less than one of the most visually arresting video clips ever produced, illustrating one of 1989's truly great singles, an accusatory yet compassionate balladic broadside." LA Times, November 1989
This would be a challenging video to make today. It must have been pretty ambitious in 1989 on tape based editing systems and primitive digital compositing software
according to youtube comments, everyone who has done something old that still is good was "ahead of time". there's absolutely no logic in this horrible bullshit. but that's the thing about singularity. words and expressions are losing all their meaning.
Growing up in the 80's with so much great talent.... another timeless classic!....wow she was just so ahead of the times, such great music, such craft....
This just took me right back to summer 92 i was 12, coming back from swimming out all day in the heat and we were oblivious to this evil world then, brilliant 🙏
This woman loved children for sure! Manchild or the child that is conceived and that needs love and gives you a lot of tenderness but also gives tears even if a child is the future of the humanity.Children make us think of essential things like playing ,living in a simple way..it is the message of the video i think..Live for the important things which are love,air,communication and not the futile ones.
Incredible song, voice, lyrics and visual composition. And such a strong, beautiful and inspiring woman. We still love you like the first day Neneh, 30 years later.
Hello, I'm checking out some of your music I haven't heard before. I just played Buffalo Stance lol, Money Man perhaps. You are amazing, I'm 52 and I remember you from back in the day on the radio etc. God bless you and your family.
Can still sing every word to all the songs on Raw Like Sushi and still have the original cassette of this that I bought 30+ years ago ..this is my jam ..to this day she is still ahead of her time and this album still sounds fresh
Bei diesem Lied,spielt mein Herz Achterbahn, ich werde es niemals vergessen, damals in Marokko, hat jemand für mich Brake Dance dazu getanzt. Es ist schon über 30 Jahre her,aber die Erinnerungen bleiben ein Leben lang..Lieben Gruß Andrea
Ever had a song playing in your head when you wake up in the morning? This song which I haven't heard in years was bopping in my brain when I opened my eyes. I sometimes get very random tracks. This is no exception. Good tune!
I was out one night in either 86/87' @ Brunel rooms Swindon When I saw Neneh, on the dance floor I didn't know who she was ( or, upcoming pop star )🤔 I expect she was doing a few songs before launching into her tour ?.Raw Like Sushi I spoke to her for several minutes, 💃🤝 we shook & she went to to change clothes, on stage she was 🙌 Brilliant, energetic and Soulful, about 6 months later she appeared on top of the pops 🥰
Both the CD after I saw and heart Buffalo Stance. It supprised me a lot. A wonderful CD, with very strong tracks and also this track on it. Listened to the CD a lot, but I Ialmost forgot what a great production this CDis, till now. Gonna listen to the CD again tomorrow and much more after that. O yes... and that smile of her at the end of the Stance.. oh my... so easy to fall in love with :-)
OK, you're on your own, it's late Your girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream Turn around, ask yourself So, you think you're gonna win this time Manchild? Is it the pain of the drinking Or the Sunday sinking feeling The car never seems to work When it's late your girlfriends on a date And the hero with her in your dream In your sleep it seemed to like you Turn around and ask yourself Turn around ask yourself Manchild, will you ever win Manchild, look at the state you're in Could you go undercover And sell your brand new lover (could you) Be someone else for a night Maybe someone else will love you You sell your soul for a tacky song Like the one you hear on the radio Turn around ask yourself Turn around and ask yourself Manchild, will you ever win Manchild, look at the state you're in Manchild, he will make you cry Manchild, Manchild, Manchild From Monday down to Friday You're working on another mans car Or is it in the factory? It doesn't matter where you are Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication Accentuate the positive and give some illustration See Manchild, you're no one, I turn the microphone on Control communication when I'm kickin it and so on To the point where I need, air that I breathe Into an audience that's waiting and ecstatic to receive For the meantime another mean rhyme I keep on sayin it I know what the time is and the crowd will keep on playing it Through the speaker boxes louds my diagnosis 'Cause I believe in miracles and words in steady doses Enough R-E-S-P-E and C-T Respect yourself express no stress the Mike is easy Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe Turn around ask yourself Manchild, will you ever win Manchild, look at the state you're in Manchild, he will make you cry Manchild, Manchild, Manchild He's the apple of your eye Once bitten twice shy, why don't you bite me again Just take it in right and go tell your friend Are you ready for the words I turn the microphone on A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on The style I'm stimulating dance floors Raise your body temperature now and This demands for power in the amp you in loud my diagnosis 'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
Souvenir de l'année 1989! Excellente chanson!!✨✨✨ J'adore!!❤️❤️❤️ Neneh Cherry a une très belle voix!!✨✨✨ Clip magnifique et musique calme !!🌟🌟 L'album "Raw like sushi" est un pur bijou!!✨✨✨✨
This is a brilliant video for its time, let alone the singing, which is one of my all time favourite songs. I can't believe how good this is still, in 2021. Its timeless.
Neneh Cherry!!! Reminds me when my old man gifted each child of his a Tape and mine was Neneh Cherry, and he specifically wrote this song as a dedication to me. Still enjoy the songs to-date, she is one of the finest ever!!
Back when I was a teenager in the 80's I was listening to Raw like Sushi in repeat. And whenever I hear it again, I cry tears of joy. 😂❤ thank you thank you thank you❤
One of my favourite songs of all time! When i hear this ,feels like yesterday 1989.Sill good This actually was ahead of its time, I can't help relate 1989 with this... do you? She sings and raps equally well. Classic. Ahead of its time.
Una de las mejores y más originales canciones hip hop/R&B con una melodía muy bonita, con mucha personalidad y elegancia. Algo compleja transmite una mezcla de sensaciones. El estribillo te mece sobre las olas de un mar tranquilo y cálido. Precursora del estilo 🧢 La primera vez que la escuché fue viendo el vídeo cuando apareció en la Tv y ya me quedé pegada a esta canción que para mí es tan sugerente y me trae tan buenos recuerdos de mis 21 años... de uno de los mejores años de mi vida. Gracias Neneh 🇪🇦
Neneh.... I can't describe my feelings from my early years when I listen to your songs from around 1988-1989, you are the goddess and you are also everybody's favorite girl type. ❤
I listened to the song on MTV and held my little baby. Today my son's birthday...29!!! OMG...that time passed fast!!!! And the song is still beautiful ❤
The video for this is absolutely incredible for its time. Classic.
and so outdated today!
Nonsense. Our time isn't even close to the 80's
The chord progression in this song is amazing. Such a great song.
I totally agree with you. I have been playing music all my life, and I love how the chords in this song work so well. They sound broken and unfinished. And that is what adds to the beauty of this piece.

@@MarkSiosal Seconded. It's not your typical chord changes. It modulates in interesting ways.

The 80's and 90's were the best decades for music.

And the 60s. Hundreds of classics from that decade.

She moved to Spain
The world wasn't big enough when she hit. There wasn't enough room for her.
They should have made room. She was extraordinary.
Na ja …
She was seven seconds too late. ❤
Another tune that changed my life in 1989. This is a fucking masterpiece. Still as haunting now as it ever was.
So True x❤
I was 19 in 1989 and I remember enjoying this song nonstop, singing and dancing in my room or watching this clip and wanting my mother to like it too.
I play the keyboard, and from my classical training, I still can't work out how these chords work so well when they are all wrong. But they do! :D

I remember saying to my dad what was it like before TVs I'm 47 different times live and learn better days
The Bee Gees said that they liked this song! I'm glad I discovered this song today!😊😊
Absolutely gorgeous song from an amazing woman. I loved her when I was 19, and I love her now at 49.
great

This video still looks great. It was a breakthrough in 1989...I still love it.
+Mo Vetta The word is "Mondino".
I always thought she was from the future.
Einfach unterschätzt..... Schade!
It looks like it cost $50 to make.
Don't forget 30 years ago we didn't have all the fancy special effects like today. ;)
Neneh Cherry does not get the credit she deserves for being one of the pioneers to hip hop/r&b. Sadly most kids wouldn't know her name today.
+chain2fate i do :) but then again i'm old too xD
chain2fate rite...she set the stage for most women
We gotta change that. Share, Share , Share.
Now she try herself in free jazz music
she freed music from jazz?
This is what you call music, it has meaning …. Love it ❤
that's quite a complex chord compression and melody, we rarely hear this on radio anymore. glad stuff like this did make it to the radio. this is a masterpiece classic
There are hints here on what would become Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy, Always loved Manchild, vastly underrated song. The last rap with that string arrangement is just stunning.
Yes, this song would compose nicely with Unfinished Sympathy in the mix, and Unfinished Sympathy would then handsomely be followed by the Streets of Philadelphia. All three are my favorites from 80/90s era..
Robert Del Naja co-wrote the song, so the Massive Attack trip-hop synth influence is not that surprising.
her husband was actually the producer of massive attack.
i think that she actually bankrolled massive until blue lines came out. 3D co-wrote this song and i think that mushroom is the guy in the vid. she even name drops the wild bunch, as massive were known then, on buffalo stance
Great catch man
The chord changes in the verse are inspired, haunting, sublime.
I agree. It is so strange yet interesting.
I agree. I play the keyboard and write music. But there is something unique about these chords. They feel broken & unfinished, but for some reason, in this piece, they work so well.

Can't believe this song is 30 years old, it still sounds fresh and different and original. Songs today won't age anything like this well.
This song and video is so well made can watch her all day well done love it
Yeah this track was so far ahead of its time. Blew my mind when it first came out.
No, because despite are rubish all "the music" today is homogenous and with expiration date
Wish I could go back to that time...... Wonderful times ❤️❤️
@@wibblewobble1934 mm
she is still the only real swedish rapper. this is a masterpiece.
She was a game changer. She performed on stage and in videos heavily pregnant showing all aspects of womanhood. No one had seen that before.
Very well said.xx
Loved her tour video, wish I still had it
@@helenjordan6255 was it around 1987/88 She appears in top of the pops
I bought the album in 89!
Tina Turner used to perform while pregnant, way back in the '60s.

Same here! I just keep coming back to it. And I am a music freak. Not sure if I could label it as Top10, but it's definitely in the Top. Cheers!
Buffalo Stance was way before its time in '89 so unique💃😁
That was 88.

One of the most brilliant songs ever. The music itself has a rare complexity and is incredibly beautiful. Lyrics are superb. She is a Goddess.

Out way before 92
Yeah I know it was out in 89 but it was still playing on the radio all the time.
One of my favourite songs of all time!
She sings and raps equally well. Classic. Ahead of its time.

Who would believe pairing orchestral melodies with rap would work so good...
When she went mainstream she never lost her background from The Slits and Rig Rip + Panic. So much integrity, a true pioneer.

I was out one night in either 86/87' @ Brunel rooms Swindon

I didn't know who she was ( or, upcoming pop star )🤔
I expect she was doing a few songs before launching into her tour ?.Raw Like Sushi
I spoke to her for several minutes, 💃🤝 we shook & she went to to change clothes, on stage she was
🙌 Brilliant, energetic and
Soulful, about 6 months later she appeared on top of the pops

OK, you're on your own, it's late
Your girlfriend is on another date with the hero in your dream
Turn around, ask yourself
So, you think you're gonna win this time Manchild?
Is it the pain of the drinking
Or the Sunday sinking feeling
The car never seems to work
When it's late your girlfriends on a date
And the hero with her in your dream
In your sleep it seemed to like you
Turn around and ask yourself
Turn around ask yourself
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in
Could you go undercover
And sell your brand new lover (could you)
Be someone else for a night
Maybe someone else will love you
You sell your soul for a tacky song
Like the one you hear on the radio
Turn around ask yourself
Turn around and ask yourself
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, Manchild, Manchild
From Monday down to Friday
You're working on another mans car
Or is it in the factory?
It doesn't matter where you are
Just turn around and ask yourself is this communication
Accentuate the positive and give some illustration
See Manchild, you're no one, I turn the microphone on
Control communication when I'm kickin it and so on
To the point where I need, air that I breathe
Into an audience that's waiting and ecstatic to receive
For the meantime another mean rhyme
I keep on sayin it
I know what the time is and the crowd will keep on playing it
Through the speaker boxes louds my diagnosis
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in steady doses
Enough R-E-S-P-E and C-T
Respect yourself express no stress the Mike is easy
Just believe that all you need is the air that you breathe
Turn around ask yourself
Manchild, will you ever win
Manchild, look at the state you're in
Manchild, he will make you cry
Manchild, Manchild, Manchild
He's the apple of your eye
Once bitten twice shy, why don't you bite me again
Just take it in right and go tell your friend
Are you ready for the words I turn the microphone on
A figure of speech to reach you at the back and so on
The style I'm stimulating dance floors
Raise your body temperature now and
This demands for power in the amp you in loud my diagnosis
'Cause I believe in miracles and words in heavy doses
Patrick Stocks thanks for the lyrics .😌
Thank you !!!!

Thank you!!
I love this song. Very great. She has a beautiful voice.
This song marks the official birth of Trip Hop.
But of course.. never thought about it.
@@SwissTanuki The song was co produced by 3D from Massive Attack. Neneh was very instrumental in supporting the boys in the early part of their career
It was just…no one had ever done this before. The world moved on with this. Wonderful.
@@Garcelle1987 Well she did have Mabel with one of them
Souvenir de l'année 1989! Excellente chanson!!✨✨✨ J'adore!!❤️❤️❤️ Neneh Cherry a une très belle voix!!✨✨✨ Clip magnifique et musique calme !!🌟🌟 L'album "Raw like sushi" est un pur bijou!!✨✨✨✨
Ce morceau de musique de Neneh, c'est la machine à explorer le temps qui fait du bien. J'adore.
This is a brilliant video for its time, let alone the singing, which is one of my all time favourite songs. I can't believe how good this is still, in 2021. Its timeless.
Neneh Cherry!!! Reminds me when my old man gifted each child of his a Tape and mine was Neneh Cherry, and he specifically wrote this song as a dedication to me. Still enjoy the songs to-date, she is one of the finest ever!!
Back when I was a teenager in the 80's I was listening to Raw like Sushi in repeat. And whenever I hear it again, I cry tears of joy. 😂❤ thank you thank you thank you❤
This video is visually beautiful and unique. I love the way it’s shot the colors. I love the clothes line and baby and when she open her mouth to rap!
One of my favourite songs of all time!
When i hear this ,feels like yesterday 1989.Sill good
This actually was ahead of its time, I can't help relate 1989 with this... do you?
She sings and raps equally well. Classic. Ahead of its time.
Neneh Cherry, Salt 'n' Pepa, Wee Papa Girl Rappers -> what a great decade of female RAP. The BEST decade ever!
Una de las mejores y más originales canciones hip hop/R&B con una melodía muy bonita, con mucha personalidad y elegancia. Algo compleja transmite una mezcla de sensaciones. El estribillo te mece sobre las olas de un mar tranquilo y cálido.
Precursora del estilo 🧢
La primera vez que la escuché fue viendo el vídeo cuando apareció en la Tv y ya me quedé pegada a esta canción que para mí es tan sugerente y me trae tan buenos recuerdos de mis 21 años... de uno de los mejores años de mi vida.
Gracias Neneh 🇪🇦
Soooo many artists would not be around if she didn't do this. So underrated in my opinion
La nostalgie dès les premières notes 😢
Who gave her timemachine in '89? This song is so ahead of it's time. Masterpiece!
The BEST SONG EVER!!!!!
Great Song and great Neneh Cherry with an great Rap-Part. I Love IT!!! ❤❤❤
32 years later and this still sounds as fresh as ever! Neneh you legend! A pure orchestral beat masterpiece! ❤🎶
She was at the absolute top of her game here.
Sia did a wonderful job covering it but nothing compares to the original! Takes me back to my childhood♥️Neneh such a pioneer 🙏🏽
I heard Sia's first but I had to listen to the original
This video still looks great. It was a breakthrough in 1989...I still love it.
definitely not a 'tacky song'. solid gold classic.
This song is still lovely and so memorable of an era, the video was so original too.
Neneh.... I can't describe my feelings from my early years when I listen to your songs from around 1988-1989, you are the goddess and you are also everybody's favorite girl type. ❤
I listened to the song on MTV and held my little baby. Today my son's birthday...29!!! OMG...that time passed fast!!!!
And the song is still beautiful ❤
This song is stuck in my head. Love the era I grew up in!
Got with my fella in 1988, I was 14, he was 15, Together now nearly 34 years, love this era. Wow, brings me back
Congrats !!!
Damals gehört und auch noch heute 🎉❤
Moi aussi 😊😊😊
When i hear this ,feels like yesterday 1989.Sill good
Damn, I love this song and it saddens me all the same. RIP Judy and Barry.
Truly timeless!
It makes me reminisce... Lovely song!
Song is over 30 years old and it still sounds just as fresh as it did back then!...she was way ahead of her time!
