I'm 62 and love them. Saw them live in Hamburg end December '21 when they did the entire Darklands album and then a selection of other songs afterwards. Amazing night.
@@AntonMuller Yeah JAMC were so cool, eighties sucked until these guys came along : great tunes, authentic lyrics, & the feed-back - wow ... They felt dangerous & so cool .. Love this track
My first concert was Nine Inch Nails opening for The Jesus And Mary Chain. My most recent concert was The Jesus And Mary Chain opening for Nine Inch Nails.
This band deserves to be respected as one of the 80's iconic bands but rarely seem to get mentioned with all the big favourites -- OMD, CURE, SMITHS, DEP MODE, CLASH etc.
@@shashsrivas Just listen to Psychocandy today,for the first time in a long time. I remember buying the vinyl when it came out and seeing them on that tour. They were this cool ball of dark pop fuzz energy. so underrated
Bleak & desolate? You got a lotta heart my friend. I don't know East Kilbride but I know JAMC from there - see ain't so bleak! Mebbe the Ried's took a lot of inspiration from that hometown huh? Play their stuff loud & celebrate
[Verse 1] Hey, honey, what you trying to say? As I stand here, don't you walk away And the world comes tumbling down Hand in hand in a violent life Making love on the edge of a knife And the world comes tumbling down [Chorus 1] And it's hard for me to say And it's hard for me to stay I'm going down to be by myself I'm going back for the good of my health And there's one thing I couldn't do Sacrifice myself to you Sacrifice [Verse 2] Baby, baby, I just can't see Just what you mean to me I take my aim and I fake my words I'm just your longtime curse And if you walk away I can't take it [Chorus 2] But that's the way that you are And that's the things that you say But now you've gone too far With all the things you say Get back to where you come from I can't help it, under the April skies Under the April skies Under the April sun Under the April skies [Bridge] Under the April sun Under the April sun Under the April skies Under the April sun Under the April skies [Verse 3] The sun grows cold, the sky gets black And you broke me up and now you won't come back Shaking hand, life is dead And a broken heart and a screaming head Hey, hey [Outro] Under the April skies Under the April sun Under the April skies Under the April skies
Holy crap I feel old!! 😂 I bought the album right after it came out & never stopped loving it. Got to see them in 89, then several times after. Good times! 💜
2024 and it feels like I'm back in my bedroom in 1987. What a band , played a huge part of my teens and what is even more rewarding is that my teen daughter loves them too
The Mary chain ,The Smiths, The Bunnymen, my three fave bands of the 80's (and probably all time) was lucky enough to see all three live back then, All great live even if the mary chain was chaotic. Years later listening to them got me into Mazzy star ( another cool band). 30+ years later and still listening.
According to a representative for the band, they responded: "My favourite colour is gold" * (* If you don't get it, search Jesus and Mary Chain my favourite colour is gold, on RUclips)
There's something so heart-breakingly gentle about this song... it soothes your soul (whilst making your heart sink, but in a good way). 80s forever! Edited to add - Just saw them live and I'm still *crushed* they didn't perform this song, my fave! ;(
Saw these guys in concert in Boston a couple of months ago. They sounded great. Lively, loud. I have wanted to see them live since I was a teenager in the early-mid 90s. It was great.
saw them live last night in Southampton UK, and they sounded awesome...they have been on my radar since more or less 1987 when I saw this track on a NOW compilation I got for xmas 1987....and it stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the other pop/stock Aitken waterman dross on there :-) .and was intrigued since ...this song was 2nd in the set-list ....and they were top notch ..good on ya Brothers Reid
Back in the 80s my best friend and I worked all over the country floor laying and we used to have this song cued up on the cassette to play as loud as we could as we swerved away from work on the Friday afternoons...it was always the first song we played! Was the best song ever to play, loud as hell as we were heading home for a weekend of drinking and shagging. Just listening to it again brings it all back! Brilliant song!
sun grows cold sky gets black and you broke me up and now you won't come back shaking hand, life is dead and a broken heart and a screaming head under the april sky
Reminds me of one of my favorite times of year, the middle of spring. It's not too hot or too cold (sweater weather, in other words), perfect amount of daylight, and you really start to see life coming back. It's beautiful.
Sun grows cold Sky gets black And you broke me up And now you won't come back Shaking hand, life is dead And a broken heart And a screaming head Some of the best lyrics ever written from the single most underrated band ever.
Jesus and Mary Chain é a banda de minha vida, ouço todos os dias, tenho todos os albuns, analiso cada letra, a sonoridade me fascina, vou nas nuvens, é a banda que mais expressa meu lado triste e alegre ao mesmo tempo. Tenho muito a agradecer a essa banda
The best music ever, Jesus and Mary chain, Omd, The waterboys, The stranglers, Big Country, The lightning seeds.....awsome and still great to this day.
One of the best live concerts I have ever seen. They played at my college student center, standing room only, the student center was smaller than the average high school gym.
This song is pure amazing you can just hear the words of this song pure amazing. When I go down the docks with my phone I play this song. Watching the world go by
"seriously"? wow do you think thay "talk" with journalists?! I want to now Their Conceptual vision of making Dirty cool sound .... "Damage and "Joy" is a kisses album and thay mean even best ... "Adulthood" and I thank gog 4 giving me my music or death
They 've always had a HUGE fanbase in Greece, from the very beginning! That fanbase is ever growing, to the day! They also played live numerous times here! It 's music we Greeks can relate to, absolutely! Same with the harder "Psychocandy" type stuff! Greetings and a lot of love from Greece, may God bless All!
Yiorg Vou im 16 and greek will i ever get to see em live here anytime soon?do u think its possible?at least if the cure wont come,maybe jamc will.i just looked it up and they havent performed in greece in 16 years wtf
SlimShady0579 Είμαι 26 στα 27 και μόνο ο πατέρας μου και η παρέα του τους έχει δει live. Στο Ρόδον νομίζω. Νομίζω ότι γενικά στα 90ς έρχονταν. Για τώρα...τι να σου πω... Αν τουςγουστάρεις και παίζεις μουσική να φτιάχναμε κάτι Ποστ Πανκ αν είσαι μέσα. Κηφισιά μένω.
"Bom para caramba...Um dos melhores sons da banda que tira acordes maravilhosos de guitarras distorcidas,o que, definitivamente, não é para qualquer um! The Jesus and Mary Chain forever!"
I love this song so much. I can’t explain it, but it gives me such a weird nostalgic feeling. I love it. I feel sorry for all the people who havent heard this, they are missing out
It's a great song JAMC are a great band They are very expressive, their sound is awesome, massive I think the "sonic overload"/feed-back is to deter the faint hearted, the lyrics are tender, genuine yet only a hardy soul is gonna make it through the wall of guitar heaviness - one has to be tough in this world - JAMC were very hard & very real
Great stuff ... They were so cool, their lyrics are tender & heart-felt, full of expression & yearning yet their sound is full on, no tender soul is gonna get through, it's a hard, heavy expression vulnerable but tough - they were the greatest band of the eighties Cool - untouchable
I absolutely love this song. I discovered it this year and it has been on repeat ever since. Just absolutely beautiful. Amazing lyrics, amazing melody and amazing voice. There's something so familiar yet fresh to it. "Hand in hand in a violent life. Making love on the edge of a knife" is a lyrical masterpiece. Wow.
Between Planets Here Comes Alice Happy When it Rains Head On Dirty Water Darklands Reverence Almost Gold Sometimes Always Cherry Came Too Never Saw It Coming
I wish I had heard these guys back in the 80s, when they were current. I only learned about them in 2005, on VH1 Classics, when I was setting up my channel on RUclips and Delphi Forums (those were the days!). I am glad this song was played on the Walking Dead. Awesome music the present generation shouldn't miss out on.
Yes real music. JAMC are very expressive, their work is full yearning, desire etc but covered with huge guitar chords & feed-back, it sounds quite aggressive, defensive even & I think that's the point, they sing of vulnerabilty, tenderness etc but one must also be tough, hard that's what makes their music so good, it's very honest, very real. Beautiful melodies, sincere lyrics & screaming loud guitars! Deal with the heaviness & the beauty is revealed
The lead guitar sound is truly epic. It's been in my mind since I first heard it. It will never leave me. I know it may sound daft to some but because I've never seen this video before, I always pictured two singers in this group. One called Jesus Chain on lead vocals and the other, maybe his sister Mary Chain on backing vocals. That all changed when I saw the video for the first time.
I love this band. They remind me of a fantastic New Year/ Hogmanay in Edinburgh in the 80s Fuck the Castle etc, i saw nothing of the city except at night. Im from New Zealand. My Cousin, Melanie, from our original Sheffield, did Fine Arts earlier there. I met her Scottish friends in London whom encouraged me to go from relatives in Newcastle up to Edinburgh. Ive never laughed so hard in my life! It probably caused my Inguinal Hernia. Everytime i hea J&MC, I chuckle. Personally, i think their LP 'Honeys Dead' has to be in the top records ot the 20th Century!
The 80's!!! BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. Redondo Beach, KROQ, 91X SURFING, SKATEBOARDING, driving my 1971 PLYMOUTH ROADRUNNER. JOINED NAVY AND STARTED JUMPIN OUT OF AIRPLANES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT INTO AN OCEAN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AND BLOWING SHIT UP. FUCKIN' 80's!!! So much fun and great music. My kids play all this music. Keepin' it alive!
im 40 next sunday, the 06-04-74 was my birthday. i love all of cure, joy division, metallica, police, ramones, new order, pistols, maiden. lou reed, john forgety... a mix of stuff. one thing i believe is that even this guys can´t do music like this anymore.
I was born in 77, and I guess I missed this band when they were big, but I'm glad I'm getting into them now thanks to Mani. Heard on the radio that Mani would've loved to have joined this band if he hadn't joined Primal Scream... And now I can see why. Really love their sound. They should play more JAMC ON the radio.
With The Jesus And Mary Chain it takes a few listens but in the end it becomes totally worth it, this is an amazing song! From lyrics, to chords to every minute detail in harmony, perfection.
I'm 58! I saw the Mary Chain at Yale University in the late '80's. Every year, when April comes around I play this album and song in honor. Need Rhino to give us a DVD. Their main influences are the VU and the Shanri-Las. Revolutionary!
Don:t matter about "ratings, popularity" etc ... These guys defined the "alternative eighties". I men their lyrics, so tender, raw even, issues are raised & expressed & all delivered in terriffic, full-on feed back a-go-go sonic punch of brutal, honest performance.. They were cool, hard & hey fucking dangerous right?
80s the best decade in music and i'm not talking about the glam material but all the indie and alternative rock. Jmc, The Cure, The smiths, New Order, REM, The Replacements, Pixies, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth and many other great bands. What a decade!!!! All my friends are into edm and shit and i feel like an outcast. I just can't explain to them how much important guitar solos and song lyrics are. They will never understand but I am glad that I am not like them. I love 80s music and always will.
They have a class action lawsuit going against their old record company, after 35 years they are supposed to get their masters back!! You go guys, own your art!!!

@@AMSRMX16 crap! I was going to say this! 😁

My first concert was Nine Inch Nails opening for The Jesus And Mary Chain.
My most recent concert was The Jesus And Mary Chain opening for Nine Inch Nails.
That's a weird opposite of TJAMC or NIN opening and headlining. But TJAMC is excellent whether a opener or a headliner! 😁
A long time had passed, as noted by Trent Reznor when he thanked his old fans - because he didn't think he had any young fans. $&&%&%&
Not my first concert by a long shot, but it was the first time I ever saw the J&MC. NIN opened for them on that tour. Maybe '87? '88?
This is one of my favourite songs of all time.
they are with Psych Furs in Phila in a week. Gonna be Blast from the Past...
Same my. bro
"We don't search for songs - for search for memories !!" Legendary voice and guitar work on this song. A hidden classic !!!
That's a great quote
I keep coming back here for the good of my health.
Nice :)
Doctor's orders!
That's a genius statement. JAMC Forever!

Love it
They were ahead of their time that’s all. Jim looks like an All Saints model circa 2020
Listened to this in England decades ago. Now I'm listening to it in Laos in lockdown. Fantastic.
Same. Switzerland when the record came out, now stranded in the Philippines.
Oh You're lucky! In Vang Vieng?
Lars The JMC was a big deal in the Philippines.. underground radio post/punk local scene.

My hometown band, can be a bleak and desolate place, but so glad that East Kilbride gifted them to the music world
Bleak & desolate? You got a lotta heart my friend. I don't know East Kilbride but I know JAMC from there - see ain't so bleak! Mebbe the Ried's took a lot of inspiration from that hometown huh? Play their stuff loud & celebrate
Yes, the Jesus and Mary Chain helped pull me through some dark days back in 1990 and 1991. Big respect for that band.

No he's right it is a bleak and desolate place a right shithole to be honest 😂

[Verse 1]
Hey, honey, what you trying to say?
As I stand here, don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down
Hand in hand in a violent life
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling down
[Chorus 1]
And it's hard for me to say
And it's hard for me to stay
I'm going down to be by myself
I'm going back for the good of my health
And there's one thing I couldn't do
Sacrifice myself to you
Sacrifice
[Verse 2]
Baby, baby, I just can't see
Just what you mean to me
I take my aim and I fake my words
I'm just your longtime curse
And if you walk away
I can't take it
[Chorus 2]
But that's the way that you are
And that's the things that you say
But now you've gone too far
With all the things you say
Get back to where you come from
I can't help it, under the April skies
Under the April skies
Under the April sun
Under the April skies
[Bridge]
Under the April sun
Under the April sun
Under the April skies
Under the April sun
Under the April skies
[Verse 3]
The sun grows cold, the sky gets black
And you broke me up and now you won't come back
Shaking hand, life is dead
And a broken heart and a screaming head
Hey, hey
[Outro]
Under the April skies
Under the April sun
Under the April skies
Under the April skies
Thanks for this😍🥰🥰
Life is dead
Thx👍
Thank you Sarah
Hand in hand in a violent life

Good taste!
never understood the violence at there gigs back in the day , crossover from a football terrace

The Jesus And Mary Chain....Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame...They DESERVE IT. Need I say more?
THANK YOU.
They don't want it they don't need it.
agreed!!
I'm sure they don't care about that. They know what they did
According to a representative for the band, they responded: "My favourite colour is gold" *
(* If you don't get it, search Jesus and Mary Chain my favourite colour is gold, on RUclips)
The Jesus and Mary Chain is TIMELESS.
There's something so heart-breakingly gentle about this song... it soothes your soul (whilst making your heart sink, but in a good way). 80s forever!
Edited to add - Just saw them live and I'm still *crushed* they didn't perform this song, my fave! ;(
Heartbreakingly gentle…….perfect description
I saw them live in Auckland New Zealand this year and they played this. Also they played a long version of reverence it was transcendental'
This is the kind of music you listen to when you're driving alone in a path through the woods by night, so melancholic 🌃😩
Saw these guys in concert in Boston a couple of months ago. They sounded great. Lively, loud. I have wanted to see them live since I was a teenager in the early-mid 90s. It was great.
This song makes me happy and cry at the same time!!!
Melancholy hits hard with this band.
April sky is one of the best songs off it's time all ways will be
saw them live last night in Southampton UK, and they sounded awesome...they have been on my radar since more or less 1987 when I saw this track on a NOW compilation I got for xmas 1987....and it stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the other pop/stock Aitken waterman dross on there :-) .and was intrigued since ...this song was 2nd in the set-list ....and they were top notch ..good on ya Brothers Reid
I'm listening now as im off to Liverpool in half an hour to watch them. I hope they're great so looking forward to it.. Known them since mid '80s too

A very good friend of mine recently overdosed on prescription drugs and I will always think of him whenever I hear Jesus and Mary chain ,miss you pal.
The Mary Chain deserve all the credit, from creating one of the greatest debut records a year prior then coming out with Darklands they don’t miss
This is not their debut song
@@peterschofield6810 he didn’t say that
Psychocandy, Darklands and Automatic are godly. Each their own style but distinctly Mary Chain.
Reminds me of one of my favorite times of year, the middle of spring. It's not too hot or too cold (sweater weather, in other words), perfect amount of daylight, and you really start to see life coming back. It's beautiful.

Music like this, makes sence. This is real music.
The jesus and mary chain saved my life.
Yes real music. JAMC are very expressive, their work is full yearning, desire etc but covered with huge guitar chords & feed-back, it sounds quite aggressive, defensive even & I think that's the point, they sing of vulnerabilty, tenderness etc but one must also be tough, hard that's what makes their music so good, it's very honest, very real. Beautiful melodies, sincere lyrics & screaming loud guitars! Deal with the heaviness & the beauty is revealed
Hands down the best love or break down song ever penned imo.
such an amazing song from an amazing band.
Svaka čast! Bravo. Stari sam obožavalac , i normalno zakeralo , nego šta, Hendrixa, ta sam generacija, ali momci svaka čast! Bravo.
The lead guitar sound is truly epic. It's been in my mind since I first heard it. It will never leave me. I know it may sound daft to some but because I've never seen this video before, I always pictured two singers in this group. One called Jesus Chain on lead vocals and the other, maybe his sister Mary Chain on backing vocals. That all changed when I saw the video for the first time.
I love this band. They remind me of a fantastic New Year/ Hogmanay in Edinburgh in the 80s
Fuck the Castle etc, i saw nothing of the city except at night.
Im from New Zealand. My Cousin, Melanie, from our original Sheffield, did Fine Arts earlier there. I met her Scottish friends in London whom encouraged me to go from relatives in Newcastle up to Edinburgh.
Ive never laughed so hard in my life! It probably caused my Inguinal Hernia.
Everytime i hea J&MC, I chuckle.
Personally, i think their LP 'Honeys Dead' has to be in the top records ot the 20th Century!
The 80's!!! BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. Redondo Beach, KROQ, 91X SURFING, SKATEBOARDING, driving my 1971 PLYMOUTH ROADRUNNER. JOINED NAVY AND STARTED JUMPIN OUT OF AIRPLANES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT INTO AN OCEAN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AND BLOWING SHIT UP. FUCKIN' 80's!!! So much fun and great music. My kids play all this music.
Keepin' it alive!
Did ye? Aye?
Discovered these guys back in 1986 exploring the left of the radio dial and college radio; great times
one of my favourite songs of all time, absolutely beautiful and stunning. it brings back some strong memories
Brilliant, I saw these guys at Brixton academy back in the eighties,
もう何も言う事は無いただ最高にいい!!!
1986 coliseu do porto (portugal) one of the best gigs i've been......was ssssssssssssooooooooooooooo young.......
One of the best songs......EVER!!
Yes
Special rock music to listen every now and then.
The ultimate album also very good, i've heard today for the first time.
im 40 next sunday, the 06-04-74 was my birthday. i love all of cure, joy division, metallica, police, ramones, new order, pistols, maiden. lou reed, john forgety... a mix of stuff. one thing i believe is that even this guys can´t do music like this anymore.
Check out young fathers, sufjan stevens, mount eerie, plenty of artists that are making good music now.
I was born in 77, and I guess I missed this band when they were big, but I'm glad I'm getting into them now thanks to Mani. Heard on the radio that Mani would've loved to have joined this band if he hadn't joined Primal Scream... And now I can see why. Really love their sound. They should play more JAMC ON the radio.
great song ,try putting it on full blast,goes right around the room,just knocks yer back when it kicks in
Brilliant..........., what ever happened to music !
With The Jesus And Mary Chain it takes a few listens but in the end it becomes totally worth it, this is an amazing song! From lyrics, to chords to every minute detail in harmony, perfection.
I agree and also feel like this about The Pixies.
I'm 58! I saw the Mary Chain at Yale University in the late '80's.
Every year, when April comes around I play this album and song in honor.
Need Rhino to give us a DVD.
Their main influences are the VU and the Shanri-Las. Revolutionary!
saw them in Glasgow last night
Je les a vu a Glasgow hier soir
Fantastic, fantastique
You Lucky Bastard....I saw them on the Rollercoaster Tour '92 in Glasgow; them n My Bloody Valentine stole the show. Soo good......
Don't lie to me
Highly underrated band
Don:t matter about "ratings, popularity" etc ... These guys defined the "alternative eighties". I men their lyrics, so tender, raw even, issues are raised & expressed & all delivered in terriffic, full-on feed back a-go-go sonic punch of brutal, honest performance.. They were cool, hard & hey fucking dangerous right?
@@nigellaird8655Right!
This is one of those songs that I’ve marveled at for 30 plus years. Perfectly crafted
80s the best decade in music and i'm not talking about the glam material but all the indie and alternative rock. Jmc, The Cure, The smiths, New Order, REM, The Replacements, Pixies, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth and many other great bands. What a decade!!!! All my friends are into edm and shit and i feel like an outcast. I just can't explain to them how much important guitar solos and song lyrics are. They will never understand but I am glad that I am not like them. I love 80s music and always will.
Love the 90s also.
Love my techno and happy hardcore.
But you're right about guitars and lyrics
As your friends get older they will realise 👍
don't worry as long as you understand
How much important are they?
You've already got it figured out.
90s definitely
Love that reverb sound to this day.
it doesn't get any more brilliant than this
60 years still rocking on. jmc rules and have done for quite a while.
They have a class action lawsuit going against their old record company, after 35 years they are supposed to get their masters back!!
You go guys, own your art!!!
He'll yea
Was living in London when this came out, quickly became a fan.
Love the deep voice.
