I’m 68 and this is still my favourite record of the eighties
I'm 64 and still cannot get enough of the JAMC's timeless tunes...
I think I remember the 80's... 😁
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.
im 16 and wish more people my age listened to my favorite music
@@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.
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. $&&%&%&
"We don't search for songs - for search for memories !!" Legendary voice and guitar work on this song. A hidden classic !!!
im 45 and this is still my fave song of all time, i can listen to this over an over and never get sick of it,long live The Jesus & Mary Chain.xxx
And now you're 55
Great song …. And we’ll still be listening to it when we’re 85.
good on ya cath x
@@AMSRMX16 crap! I was going to say this! 😁
@@AMSRMX16 I just looked at your channel. Loving the Siouxsie! Can I make a recommendation? Helter skelter.
How can anybody possibly dislike this song????
Eh because they might not like it?
@@scottdonnelly1669 lucky for me my favourite beat division is the quaver
ignorance
Jesus & the Mary Chain > Parties at Scott Donnelly's house.
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
Today's the 35th anniversary of this song. Thanks for being in my life soundtrack, saw it on stage in 1988, Rio de Janeiro 🔥
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! 💜
@@denalindeshit Dena you look like you were quite the little pistol, back in the day. Man, I would have chased you around, something silly...
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.
Couldn't agree more.
Good taste!
never understood the violence at there gigs back in the day , crossover from a football terrace
Jim is married to the singer of Mazzy Star as well
The Jesus and Mary Chain is TIMELESS.
This is the kind of music you listen to when you're driving alone in a path through the woods by night, so melancholic 🌃😩
This song is beyond perfect.. a Masterpiece
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.
Wow.that brings tears to my eyes.Thank you.
Still amazing after all.these years
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.
🏴
@@larsodal listened Istanbul first and still Istanbul fuck I wanna go somewhere
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.
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.
I agree..completely underrated band..
Psychocandy is one of the most authentic albums.
@@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
Love it
They were ahead of their time that’s all. Jim looks like an All Saints model circa 2020
[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
Making love on the edge of a knife..
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
These verse should be taught in University...
Simply I love this song, is one of the best from the 80's decade.
An absolutely perfect piece of music
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
ok jeff

One of my favourite bands ever. And this track is timeless.
I keep coming back here for the good of my health.
Nice :)
Doctor's orders!
That's a genius statement. JAMC Forever!
danny haobam fair feckin play te ya Danny boy!
Me too.
Melancholy hits hard with this band.
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
April sky is one of the best songs off it's time all ways will be
Those Reid brothers' influence on other bands through the 80's and 90's is undeniable.
Definitely in my top ten songs of all time! ❤️
Yes one of the best bands of 80
Not only of the 80s. Unique and timeless.
Perfect song to listen in April.
Honoured to have been a fan for the last 36 years. Saw them two weeks ago on the Darklands tour and they were superb. The best band in the world.
Did you see him in the roundhouse?
@@cellinhell11 yes saw them at the Roundhouse. They were the best I've ever seen them. It was a superb night.
@@robgraham9947 i was there too, i was up in the bar to the left on the second floor
@@cellinhell11 I managed to get right down the front. It was awesome.
So Am I.
I Saw them at the Bataclan last month. They were brilliant.
I love this band so much.
Thank you guys..
love it April skies 4 me ! still feels just the same as when I first played it again & again as a dark misunderstood teenager !
Clare trrryl the music/band id waited all my life for
"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!"
Probably my favourite of this band. Fantastic !
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
I loved freaking my classmates out with this music! While they were listening to shitty pop music, I was listening to these gems!!!!
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!
What a tune, I remember from when I was kid, love this song.
Same three chords with usual magic!
From the Brazil...
The best of Jesus and Mary Chain
40 years ago these guys were indie/alternative, fast forward and they are still fresh. will be seeing them live on the glasgow eyes tour and it's like we all never aged
Nah, their Velvet Underground fixation was perceived as original to the post punk generation. A truly awful band that still can't play in tune. After 30 plus years still waiting for the men to come up with an original idea. Truly banal.
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.
Stephen.
No he's right it is a bleak and desolate place a right shithole to be honest 😂
Ekok😁
That can never get old , forever in my playlist.
I have 56 years,.... And The Jesus and Mary Chain, make my age. ✨😎🤟
*Like a "Porto Vintage". 💫❤️
such an amazing song from an amazing band.
Such a classic. I love this so much. So many memories
Love the deep voice.
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.
One of my favorite songs…❤️😎😎💯
It's a cliche to say that this is an underrated band, but let's face it: it *is* an underrated band.
I was blessed enough to have this through my teens and every decade that's followed.
This song makes me happy and cry at the same time!!!
Gives me goosebumps..
+Stella Formanek same for me
it doesn't get any more brilliant than this
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.
They really had their craft down to a T, plunderin' and all
I first heard this song on The Walking Dead and I had to look it up! It’s now one of my favorite songs!
I always thought these guys were cooler than me. You know what? They are.
Too cool..Joe cool
"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
Absolute zero with a chocolate flake in it
anyone is
@@monty1864 - verd
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.
soundtrack of my life.
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)
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
Eu nunca pense k um Portugal
Não me esqueço do ano de lançamento do álbum. Meus doces 19 anos. Fui ao show deles anos depois. Melhor fase da minha vida sem dúvida...
@@borisalanarana2590 Quem me dera já ter ido em um show deles :/
Curtindo a banda em 2022
@@guilhermeseger3981 sempre 😊
One of best songs I've heard.
one of my favourite songs of all time, absolutely beautiful and stunning. it brings back some strong memories
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.
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.
What a superb Band.... And its April... I love this song ❤️
@drew sale one of my favourite works of T. S Elliott..... And its still April 🌻
@drew sale yes it is! 🌻
if youtube used to be there in 1987.....these song will definitely crossed 1billion views
+Mayur Jadhav Actually you've got a point!
+安托万米克 thanx man
+Mayur Jadhav läget?
I agree
100%
This is one of those songs that I’ve marveled at for 30 plus years. Perfectly crafted
Counting the days now. Seeing them on Sunday! And learning new songs too thanks to JAMC management for sending me the CD of Damage and Joy. I love it.
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.
SlimShady0579 Έχει καλώς!! Πάντως 3/3 λάιβ που έχω πάει φέτος ήταν εξαιρετικά!!
Ετοιμαστείτε, σε λίγες μέρες έρχεται αυτό που λαχταρούσαμε τόσο πολύ :))
I love the Greeks and I love the Jesus and Mary Chain! so I liked your comment
great song ,try putting it on full blast,goes right around the room,just knocks yer back when it kicks in
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.
Hands down the best love or break down song ever penned imo.
nostalgia!
Still a bloody great tune!
Great song. Feels like i'm in a endless journey into my own Memories.
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.
One of the best songs......EVER!!
Yes
From a wall of feed back to this gem....didn't take them long.
Epic Indy band. Great stuff always from this era that gave us so much music! Thanks boys.
Such a beautiful song.
In this pandemic, people would be actually coming here to listen to this song 'For the good of their health'
it isn't a "pandemic" it's BULLSHIT
@@ornageorange The evidence says otherwise.
@@paulbeardsley4095 what evidence? Open your eyes and look around you. Still can't smell a rat?
Fantastic. Never ever gets old
You make really good records Jesus and the Marychain God bless you all.
One great song
incrível como uma banda passar a ser parte de nossa vida de maneira tão especial. Ouço Jesus and... praticamente todos os dias. É uma das bandas que expressam muitos dos meus sentimentos e me fazem viajar com suas melodias, seus acordes, seu ritmos. Linda voz do Reid, Amo de paixão.
My favourite song of all time.
Timeless! Still blows me away this song!👌
Awesome tune! Fantastic!
Jesus and Mary Chain gave birth to the Pixies!! God Bless them!
Absolutely love this song
Awesome... has always been one of my favourite JAMC song!!!
Mais uma faixa desse disco maravilhoso....Darklands....um dos melhores dos anos 80!!!!!!
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.
Love this! Remember it being played constantly on the jukebox in the hotel bar where I worked in the late 80's
Was living in London when this came out, quickly became a fan.
The best song they ever made the guitaring is brilliant
woohooooooooooooooo beautiful this song always get my blood flowing
Love that reverb sound to this day.
just a truly amazing song , perfect in my mind
I LOVE THIS
