"And now eyes burn circles in the dark/And when the mirror talks to me I listen with my heart" Donnelly is one of the best lyricists in the history of rock.
You know the shape my breath will take / before I let it out. Stand like you did / when I was beauty marked in your eye. Just amazing. Original, poetic, emotional, rock n roll. All in one
King was the first CD I ever bought. It still works ok. It was only later(after early nineties) that CDs started getting produced with really inferior quality and wore out really quickly. That is the only reason I can think that it still works fine.
Their music exploded during the 1990s… by that I mean they were everywhere. They packed theaters and their videos were always intensely entertaining: I have remained a fan since the day they debuted their first music video on MTV, VH-1 ……just loud and awesome music.
Loved these guys, I used to listen to them as a new journalist writer and they are an inspiration. At the time I was jest separated from my wife n kids, her voice, was like my wife talking to me. I felt her pain, felt like she knew mine. It kept me sane and sober and I had a great motocross journalist career, and reunited with wifey 6 years ago. Thanks guys. :-D
@@Tifa556 just glad to hear these guys are remember. We see happy the second time stone and in January we became grandparents to healthy and study baby boy, Andrew. 🤗😇🥰 facebook.com/michael.james.9275
Kind of common cry, kind of common lie, you know the shape my breath will take before I let it out! This album should've been so much more, but at least we have Mass Ave!
So True she is beautiful and at the same time a great singer/song writer. I believe that more than a few industry tarts in the music industry could learn something from Tanya and possibly class up their acts.
somebody posted a fanvid for this song on youtube once, that was mainly just the Wizard of Oz characters falling asleep in the poppies before they get to the Emerald City... i wish it was still up, as much as i love the original vid ❤
Saw Belly at the Vooruit in Gent after this album came out. Tanya seemed like a genuinely nice person. I remember the band made a few mistakes throughout the show, played a few wrong chords here and there and laughed it off. It was a really fun night.
I bet the lead singer(face unseen)was Juliana Hatfield and the bass player was Melissa Auf Der Mauer(hard to forget those legs and hair).Loved Tanya and Juliana cover of the Josie&the Pussycats title track for the Cartoon Network!
Anyone know where I can find the acoustic version of Tanya doing this? It was on youtube for a bit and it has since disappeared - it was a fan-made video with Wizard of Oz spliced in to the song...the song version was one of the best things I've ever heard.
So ..I'm just now (2018),delving into Belly...Is Tanya wanting to front her own band,have more control, etc,why she left Breeders?....just wondering. .have always wondered? ???why Tanya why?
@soonerxii Isn't there some crappy contemporary rapper named Belly? I saw headlines of "Belly's new single a hit" and stuff like that and I got really excited for a while until I realized it was an imposter... :(

King is the most underrated album of all time. yeah, i said it.
Agreed!!
So true!
for sure
13 years later..still true
This song is the headliner on the soundtrack of my life.
Can't understand why no one I know has heard of them. she's amazing.

Tanya at her peak cuteness. If there was any woman of alternative rock back in the 90s that I could have spent a day with, I would have chose her.
Belly will ALWAYS be one of my favorite bands
Love this song... miss this group. I loved the 90's
Omg I've been looking for this song for more than 20 years ! I'm low key emotional right now
King. I wore this CD out. I have STAR and KING unopened just so I can have them if I need them! Sad I know, but its just how good this band was!
I was lucky to experience them live, at the Blue Note.
What an incredibly energetic show!
We were smiling the entire time.
+yelling, *"Belly!"*
Guess what. The band reformed they are back with a new album.
King was the first CD I ever bought. It still works ok. It was only later(after early nineties) that CDs started getting produced with really inferior quality and wore out really quickly. That is the only reason I can think that it still works fine.
COMPLETELY LOADED with pop hooks - even The Beatles didn't pile as many hooks into one song as Tanya Donnelly and crew, Quite outstanding really....
King is an underrated masterpiece
I love the Tanya Stomp. She is so cool.
BEST GUITAR MOVE OF THE '90S
This is my favorite song by Belly or Tonya D. a great and under rated song
I got to see belly a few times, top quality, and this song knocks it out the park.

thank you for your story, and glad it all worked out ❤

Just had this song bubble back up into my consciousness, and it's just as great as I remember.
nothing like this then or now. truly special.
it's 2023 and still listening to this gem ♦
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out.
I loved this song from the first time I heard it in the mid-90's.
Wearing a Lunachicks T-shirt while servicing 6L6 vacuum tube equipped Marshalls - pretty much my day-job during the 1990s.
6L6 was awesome (yes I know)
FANTASTICALLY AWESOME SONG FROM BELLY!!, the dj
Aces! Glad I saw these guys live. Good times and great tune!
Love it!

siiii la adoroooooooooooo.
Great song
Big sis never could keep up w lil sis, but she’s got a handful of bangers, and this is one of em.
This whole friggin' BAND is way underrated.
Love and miss the band!
this may be their best song. miss this band.
2/14/20
This album came out 25 years ago today.
Wow, that's insane. Where the heck did the time go? I want to hit the reset button
Whoa.. the memories this brings back...
Always had a crush on Tanya. Underrated band.
Loved.......................it!!
July 1995 every week i listen on the top 40 countdown
Brilliant
I like how the "band" is backlit and you can't see their faces, kind of anonymous, and the true heroes are the road crew.
But the band is the road crew, right?
@@huxleypig69 and the members of the road crew have just fallen asleep and are day dreaming that they have transformed into Belly.
also, this song is getting me sober rn. i Swear to Tanya Donnelly ❤
*500th* upvote!
Belly reunion? Dude, the Muses are back!
Saw Belly at the Vooruit in Gent after this album came out. Tanya seemed like a genuinely nice person. I remember the band made a few mistakes throughout the show, played a few wrong chords here and there and laughed it off. It was a really fun night.
Cute video
I bet the lead singer(face unseen)was Juliana Hatfield and the bass player was Melissa Auf Der Mauer(hard to forget those legs and hair).Loved Tanya and Juliana cover of the Josie&the Pussycats title track for the Cartoon Network!
Gail is so flippin' hot!
The Tanya Stomp!
I always wanted one of those shirts.
I have of those shirts! They sold them on that tour in '95.
P.S. when a girl looks super cute and pretty in BLACK AND WHITE... SHE IS THE REAL DEAL! Tanya 4Life ! Belly Rules!
@TIMOTHYSAARINEN TOTALLY AGREE...
1:09 Gail robs a banana, lol 😂
"The secret ingredient is crime."
help please! is this the same chick that did a song with Catherine wheel?
LATE response, but it is! "Judy Staring at the Sun." Nice catch!
1:08
Did Gail just...steal a bagel? 😂
Love this song. Love Gail in a skirt. Banzai!
She was hot.
Man...Tanya's got a killer set of legs.....
love it to death even if it is 'dear prudence' really
Tanya has always looked like a 40 year old mom lol
Tanya , if you are out there.....where can I get one of those Belly patches for my jean jacket? Love you:)
Anyone know where I can find the acoustic version of Tanya doing this? It was on youtube for a bit and it has since disappeared - it was a fan-made video with Wizard of Oz spliced in to the song...the song version was one of the best things I've ever heard.
i remember that video!
the acoustic version is up, as the b-side with 'Red', fyi
@@Tifa556 I found it about a year ago, but thanks for the reply!
another band who never gets any airplay on heart 90s or absolute 90s...shame on them.
I saw Belly touring with Radiohead in 90-something. Been one of my musical guilty pleasures ever since.
Shouldn't be a guilty pleasure.
Still fucking rule
Gail Greenwood is so INSANELY hot!
So ..I'm just now (2018),delving into Belly...Is Tanya wanting to front her own band,have more control, etc,why she left Breeders?....just wondering. .have always wondered? ???why Tanya why?
I bet she does but that is Gail in the skirt.
@soonerxii Isn't there some crappy contemporary rapper named Belly? I saw headlines of "Belly's new single a hit" and stuff like that and I got really excited for a while until I realized it was an imposter... :(
i feel like the band could be L7 🧐
Good song, but 'Red' is better.
Tragically. This is a hugely misunderestimated band. Rhode islanders need to lay off those horns stop being oblivious and look to the obvious.
