2025 (and beyond) jamming this masterpiece. In 1992 I was 16 and bought this album on cassette. Been jamming it ever since. Love it when Siobhan Fahey licks her lips. Such a Goddess 🔥😍
Things feel bad when I’m singing this to myself. I wish everyone a happy and healthy wonderful night and life. Bless you all from the bottom of my heart. This song is a masterpiece
The music is pleasant to the ear, but behind the music there is a strong poison. It is no surprise! For Satan himself transformed himself into an angel of light. 2. Corinthians 11:13-21. What is hidden behind such music? nudity, swearing, pride, careerism, drugs, fornication, apostasy from God. Let’s go to the Bible and find out. Satan has profound musical ability. It’s not a hard to imagine a supernatural being helping artists create beats and melodies we humans find irresistable. -- I don’t think it’s a coincidence that artists who promote things contrary to the Bible often enjoy a meteoric, even supernatural rise. Satan was involved with music in Heaven. Of the events taking place immediately after Lucifer's/Satan's fall and expulsion from heaven. Obviously, though he no longer directs heaven's choir, he still has vast musical ability. The two Scripture passages that describe Satan before he fell. Ezekiel 28:13 --- All that seems to make sense. Let’s go to the Bible and find out. Considering the fact that the angels constantly worship God (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8), it that Satan led that worship. One thing is sure: for Satan to rebel despite having such an exalted position and close relationship with God, the devil is surely due his eternal destiny (Revelation 20:10). -- Satan was clearly a leading or the leading angel in heaven. This detail is not directly answered in Scripture. He would have worshiped God as other angels did, likely including worship through song or possibly an instrument. Yet his fall led to his rejection from his position and a future eternal torment (Revelation 20:10). Satan now serves his own agenda, living as a liar and father of lies, seeking those he can devour (John 8:44; 1 Peter 5:8). In connection with Satan's possible use or leadership of music in heaven, some see concerns regarding certain music on earth being used by Satan as well. - However, music was created by God to bring glory to Him. Believers must be discerning in their own use of music to make sure their choices honor the Lord rather than serve their own interests or dishonor the Lord through promoting sinful actions that promote the work of the evil one. Of the events taking place immediately after Lucifer's/Satan's fall and expulsion from heaven. --- Satan stood in amazement at his new condition. His happiness was gone. He looked upon the angels who, with him, were once so happy, but who had been expelled from Heaven with him. Before their fall, not a shade of discontent had marred their perfect bliss. Now all seemed changed. Countenances which had reflected the image of their Maker were gloomy and despairing. Strife, discord, and bitter recrimination, were among them. Previous to their rebellion these things had been unknown in Heaven. Satan now beholds the terrible results of his rebellion. He shuddered, and feared to face the future, and to contemplate the end of these things. The hour for joyful, happy songs of praise to God and his dear Son had come. Satan had led the heavenly choir. He had raised the first note, then all the angelic host united with him, and glorious strains of music had resounded through Heaven in honor of God and his dear Son. But now, instead of strains of sweetest music, discord and angry words fall upon the ear of the great rebel leader. Where was he? Was it not all a horrible dream? Was he shut out of Heaven? Were the gates of Heaven never more to open and admit him? The hour of worship draws nigh, when bright and holy angels bow before the Father. No more will he unite in heavenly song. No more will he bow in reverence and holy awe before the presence of the eternal God. Could he be again as he was when he was pure, true and loyal, gladly would he yield up the claims of his authority. --- But he was lost! beyond redemption, for his presumptuous rebellion! And this was not all; he had led others to rebellion and to the same lost condition with himself-angels, who had never thought to question the will of Heaven, or refuse obedience to the law of God till he had put it into their minds, presenting before them that they might enjoy a greater good, a higher and more glorious liberty. This had been the sophistry whereby he had deceived them. A responsibility now rests upon him from which he would fain be released. --- Obviously, though he no longer directs heaven's choir, he still has vast musical ability. And he uses the music in combination with the message he wishes to promote. The backmasking for certain musical pieces is incredible--not even a modern computer (ChatGPT?) could likely produce anything like it: whole sentences that, played backwards, result in intelligible whole sentences with a different set of consonants. The world's best poets do not have this skill without supernatural assistance. devil-music-the-occult-beatles.webnode.sk/
i met someone like that. exactly. the deep impression is exactly like that. she even looked like this woman. it s something else. i would not say awesome.
I am glad that one of my favorite songs of all time is getting the attention it deserves, thanks Ghost, for bringing these incomparably talented ladies back into the spotlight! ❤️🦇
Now Ghost (and Patrick Wilson!) need to remake this amazing video. They'd do an incredible job of it, too. Maybe as a wink and nod one of the Ghouls or Ghoulettes could play the "dying lover" part out of costume?
Absolutely. I'm a massive Ghost fan and I didn't think their take brought it justice on my first listen. It has since grown on me but you can't really beat it when the original is one of my favourite songs.
This was playing when I had the courage to speak to this girl, she was so beautiful and had such a beautiful soul. We now have 2 beautiful daughters together. This is our song 🙏
she was bored shooting a music video all day, so she drank vodka. when it was her turn for her part of the video, she stumbled. in the end, her performance was great just because of that 😁
Strange comment??? I remember calling a local station years ago and requesting this song. They couldn't find it. So years later, when RUclips became something, I called back, not caring anyone remembered it, and asked them to play it AGAIN. The last time, offering a link. 🤷🏼💯🤣 THIS is an amazing tune!!! ❤
This is like my bf tatting the devils horns w/ a halo around my name :/. My interpretation is like ok, I played bad guy for too long, it got predictable... give me my wings now. He be sending me angel songs and sh 😅😁😛😍☺
Mad Respect to Siobhan Fahey aka Death. From Bananarama to Shakespears Sister, very few in music history have pulled off such a change (in music and look) with success. I remember watching this the first time, thinking that can't be the same person.
When Siobhan, with her beautiful smile, descends the stairs is my favorite moment. The look of crazy and confidence that she is going to take his soul gives me shivers every time.
The look of crazy is because she was smashed off her box, she drank a lot of vodka and had some herbal inspiration, the whole shoot was gonna be canned, but the director loved her facial expressions, hence why there's a lot of jump cuts when siobhan is on camera, never more than a few seconds of her on film at a time, makes a great video though
Michael Kaplan overrated "masterpiece". Seriously? That whiney high pitched grating nasalish voice and her mannish face? Death....dressed up in a glittery outfit? Come on, I stopped drinking the Kool-Aid when it came to this song....maybe you should try too?
My father passed away in cancer in November this year. This song was played after my eulogy at the funeral, by my request. I know my dad liked this song and so do I. This song will always make me think about my dad and how much I miss him.
I lost over recent years a whole part of my family to cancer...stay strong, look forward, the pain will always be a part of you, but it will get weaker and weaker over the years, when you realize that a live with this would be more burden to them in their live as it is to you to lose them at one point. they are free now, no more pain, so more sucrifies as so on... i put to much of my own in the recent 30 years do to cancer an parkinson and such to mind on ... they will be always and in a my lifetime in my memories, they life there now. the pain will go, the memories do not, but you just keep them alive, in your head ... let loose of your pain and remember them as they where ... sorry english not my mother/native language ... forgive me, but i hopce you understood what i meaned, live goes on...
Same. I heard Patrick start singing & I just went "What??!! THIS is the song they covered???!!!" I've loved this song for a long time & was so excited to hear their version lol
@@ashleyb7139 when Patrick started to sing it, I immediately remembered it and fell in love! I know people are giving Ghost shit for doing a lot of cover songs as of late but…this is the best one yet. I hope Shakesperes Sister is happy with it!
@bohemiantwilight7434 I hope they are too. They did such a good job! And I'm sorry, but their version of Jesus He Knows Me (and releasing it on Easter 😂) is also amazing lol
@@ashleyb7139 I agree with you on Jesus He Knows Me! I’ve been a fan of Ghost for almost 2 years and even though I am a Christian, I am not offended by their music or shows. What Tobias has created is perfect…the music, the merchandise, videos and their Rituals-went to my first one last year and LOVED IT!
I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY BROTHER TONI WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF 37 IT WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE SONGS ! I LOVE YOU FOREVER MY BROTHER ! ALWAYS YOUR SISTER ! 🕊🙏🕯🌹😭
I`m much older than you. and i was in that situation before, right at the brink of my mind. You don`t want to hear this, but you`ll get through this mess and get out much stronger ! Hang on, fokus... step by step . This will NOT kill you at all !
@@justusstern9125 You're right. Been through bad situations before, even 5 years of prison (and facing at least 10 in the beginning). But everything's mind over matter, isn't it?
Just to let you know i was 14 wayyyyy back when this single dropped and MTV debuted this video (back when MTV played ANY music 🙄.... @@justusstern9125
This is not only a great song, but also an amazing video. Most of the singers from the 80s and 90s were true artists. They could sing and act. Two things that you rarely see in today’s music industry. This is the golden era of the video music.
Over 3 decades ago. My mind is blown. The memories I have associated with this song. 14/15 years old and full of hope and anticipation. Felt invincible. Fell in love with a girl and I still love her today. Haven't seen her in years. Good times.
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim we never got together properly. We still live in the same city but she's married with kids. I actually saw her recently, didn't get to speak but saw her.
After thirty years since it came out, this song still gives me the shivers and evokes a lot of emotions within me. What an amazing track and iconic music video.
Увидев этот клип лет 30 назад помню его до сих пор. Рада, что есть возможность пересматривать этот шедевр и слышать изумительные голоса! Игра девушек бесподобна!!;
I fell in love with this song when it first came out and now I am falling in love with it again. It gave me chills when I first heard it and hearing Ghost’s cover gave me chills again.
Same. The fact Ghost is doing 2 versions of Stay makes it twice as nice. The duet one with Patrick Wilson for Insidious end credits and one all Tobias for the Impera box set!
This will be forever locked in my brain. Went for an Expat job to Ireland in March 1992. They played this song up and down as one of the women was Irish. Met the love of my life and married in 1995. Still in Ireland and the tears are starting to run down.
Marcella the soprano and Siobhan the low range of a female. Marcella did this type of thing with Eric Clapton and Shaun Murphy was the more soulful raspy singer.
I had this song come into my head as i remember my dad playing this when i was young. Brings back some great memories he died 6yrs ago of lung cancer so the beginning bit brought back some bad memories on top of good. My dad use to always say be good if not be very very bad. Forever loved and forever missed never forget him as he was one of the best dads you could ask for. Stuck by me through some tough times never once turned his back on me. Although I was doing alot of bad things where I have seen parents disown their children for less. We were very poor but very much loved. See ya soon dad love you as I'm sure this is a sighn from you letting me know your energy still flows.
Bless both you and your friend. What would we do without these angels on earth? Have faith that your dark times will ease. I hope better times are on the way for you. Stay strong.
I love how death is depicted. Especially to anyone in pain- mental or physical, death can look beyond beautiful and shiny. Like a treasure. And that scream in song voice is perfection 💕
You are 1000% correct. Unforgivable that they were so overlooked in terms of talent, song arrangements and a style so unique at this point in music history..
James Raymond It’s when a song or melody changes so quickly and is so completely unexpected during the play of it. Lots of musicians try it but few get it like this band did
A video where Death actually appears and the mortal literally wrestles with them for their loved one. On top of that it’s an incredible vocal. Doesn’t get better than that
I was declared clinically dead twice before I turned 21. I decided after the 2nd time that drugs weren't my friends. This song reminds me that there must have been an angel holding my hand to bring me back. The OD's happened in the late 70's. I have been drug free since and thankfully so.
From an 8 year old girl to a 36 year old woman, this song still breaks my heart and tears flow. The screech gets me every time as they fight over him 😔
When my Dad was in hospital he was upset with tubes in his throat and I heard him say to Mum that he'd had enough, he'd had a lovely life with her, but he wanted to stop. The only time I heard Mum swear was when she told him "Don't you bloody dare". And the line here "But if you try to go on alone, don't think I'll understand" is that in song. They lived another 10 years and more together.
This is one of the best music videos ever. It conveys so much emotion in just under 4 minutes. There are full length movies that can't do that. I still get chills when "death" starts down the stairs, that wicked grin on her face, as she's coming for him. Great stuff!
To be fair, they didn't usually make music like this back then either. That's why this was a massive hit. I generally agree that music was better back then though.
I love how Siobhan gives a half smile towards Marcela when the guy comes out of his coma but then rolls her eyes not a second later like "okay you got this one..." Lol xxx
I am lucky enough to be see this the first time this came on The Top of The Pops - which I don't know why this discontinued it - anyways, and I to noticed that eye-roll. An yes- I am old as shit! LOL.
My22 year old only son got stabbed in the middle of his brain two times at Boston Pizza in Prince Albert Saskatchewan. I got the call from the hospital and rush to be by his side. I fell to the ground and sang him this song everyday till he finally woke up out of the coma. The surgeons who performed 3 surgeries told he there is no explanation how he survived. I knew it was my love and prayers from many who love him. Today he is totally fine. ❤
If this world is wearing thin And you're thinking of escape I'll go anywhere with you Just wrap me up in chains But if you try to go alone Don't think I'll understand Stay with me, stay with me In the silence of your room In the darkness of your dreams You must only think of me There can be no in between When your pride is on the floor I'll make you beg for more Stay with me, stay with me You'd better hope and pray That you make it safe Back to your own world You'd better hope and pray That you'll wake one day in your own world 'Cause when you sleep at night They don't hear your cries in your own world Only time will tell if you can break the spell Back in your own world Stay with me, stay with me Stay, stay with me Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay Stay with me
Mark Holly's 😢Thank you for all the years of beautiful music and time you gave to millions of people around the word.You are a Legend and your memory will stay with me,inside and out your words git me through some shit times,always love .y BrotherNamaste❤️😻☯️R.I.P,Rest Easy our beautiful Brother❤🙏🙏🙏🙋♂️
When she rolls her eyes as if to say, “Oh just bloody have him then” 😂 The way she just walks off at the end, like "whatever" is always hilarious. This remains one of the most beautiful songs ever written!
@@Dags470 and we love to hear it...that's why I bought the cassette tape Hormonally Yours when I first heard this song, back when singles were a thing ^.^ Yay nostalgia.
The composition of this track is so original. You just don't see tracks made like this any more. So happy they decided to get back together and make amends.
I was 18 when this song was released. Thirty years… wow. I forgot about this song long ago. Ten minutes ago it just randomly popped into my head like “hey remember me?” Still as powerful, beautiful and haunting as the first time I heard it. So glad I paid attention to the randomness and got on RUclips.
Probably because Siobhan was in Bananarama and they were like a European version of The Bangles, they were huge over here and she was beloved because of that. Marcella was always going to be second fiddle to Siobhan, at least in much of Europe.
This has never been given the attention it deserves...an absolute favourite of mine....so deep...its so frikkin deep. Well done ladies, for all new fans these girls had a band called bananarama in the 80's ......
When I was 16 in the mental hospital, there was this girl who lived down the hall who would sing this song at night. The whole wing could hear her. Helped me sleep soundly.
Ha! This happened to me too! I was staying at a buddy's house in high school and sleeping on the couch. Fell asleep with the TV on MTV. Woke up to it disoriented and was nearly terrified.
Iconic song and was number one 30 years ago in the UK. In fact it literally STAYed at the top for a staggering 8 weeks. This set a new record for the longest stay at the top for an all female assembly...and 30 years later it still holds the record. Great band, great song.
@@davidcarrol110 Yes I agree. I did hear that the low selling singles was responsible for the one of the fewest chart toppers in a year in 92. I think that Stay, despite being number one for 8 weeks was the fourth best selling song of 1992.
@@davidcarrol110 yeah I remember the Wedding Present hacking the system by putting out limited-release singles every month that year. Which made the chart whether they were good or not (they were not good)

Life and death fighting over a soul.. damn.. hard hitting, soulfull and true.

They did. But apparently they couldn’t stand each other
This song really did "Stay With Me" all these decades later. It looks like I'm not the only one. I hope she knows.
This is reality not delusion
When songs had more then 2 repeating lines...good times
And most others didn't realise it, but then the masses can't do anything right, that's why they're the masses!

It blow my friends from the younger generation off the chair everytime I show it to them.
Totally agree 💯
It been that long!!! Damn I'm old..
Can't believe it's been that long! I remember watching this video on Top of the Pops when it came out.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
“You better hope and pray…..”. Magnificent switch ..
Perfection!!
""Yesss!!!🎉🎉🎉
My father passed away in cancer in November this year. This song was played after my eulogy at the funeral, by my request. I know my dad liked this song and so do I. This song will always make me think about my dad and how much I miss him.
I lost over recent years a whole part of my family to cancer...stay strong, look forward, the pain will always be a part of you, but it will get weaker and weaker over the years, when you realize that a live with this would be more burden to them in their live as it is to you to lose them at one point. they are free now, no more pain, so more sucrifies as so on... i put to much of my own in the recent 30 years do to cancer an parkinson and such to mind on ... they will be always and in a my lifetime in my memories, they life there now. the pain will go, the memories do not, but you just keep them alive, in your head ... let loose of your pain and remember them as they where ...
sorry english not my mother/native language ... forgive me, but i hopce you understood what i meaned, live goes on...
music helps you heal… sorry for your loss
R.I.P. your dad.

Haven’t heard this in years…till the Ghost cover. Both versions are beautiful and haunting ❤
Same. I heard Patrick start singing & I just went "What??!! THIS is the song they covered???!!!" I've loved this song for a long time & was so excited to hear their version lol
@@ashleyb7139 when Patrick started to sing it, I immediately remembered it and fell in love! I know people are giving Ghost shit for doing a lot of cover songs as of late but…this is the best one yet. I hope Shakesperes Sister is happy with it!
@bohemiantwilight7434 I hope they are too. They did such a good job! And I'm sorry, but their version of Jesus He Knows Me (and releasing it on Easter 😂) is also amazing lol
@@ashleyb7139 I agree with you on Jesus He Knows Me! I’ve been a fan of Ghost for almost 2 years and even though I am a Christian, I am not offended by their music or shows. What Tobias has created is perfect…the music, the merchandise, videos and their Rituals-went to my first one last year and LOVED IT!
Prefer Cradle of Filth cover
Das ist Musik!❤
I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY BROTHER TONI WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF 37
IT WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE SONGS !
I LOVE YOU FOREVER MY BROTHER !
ALWAYS YOUR SISTER ! 🕊🙏🕯🌹😭

i don't know how all this dust spewed up from my keyboard
One of the most underrated bands of the 90's, these ladies are pure gold.....
Why do you underrate them?
As a lovesick, overwhelmed, depressed 14-year old, this cassette tape single was on constant play - rewind - play - rewind (and on and on).....
I`m much older than you. and i was in that situation before, right at the brink of my mind. You don`t want to hear this, but you`ll get through this mess and get out much stronger ! Hang on, fokus... step by step . This will NOT kill you at all !
@@justusstern9125 You're right. Been through bad situations before, even 5 years of prison (and facing at least 10 in the beginning). But everything's mind over matter, isn't it?
Just to let you know i was 14 wayyyyy back when this single dropped and MTV debuted this video (back when MTV played ANY music 🙄.... @@justusstern9125
Wait until you hear the ghost version
Siobhan's glam/German expressionist performance is outstanding.
This is not only a great song, but also an amazing video. Most of the singers from the 80s and 90s were true artists. They could sing and act. Two things that you rarely see in today’s music industry. This is the golden era of the video music.
Could not agree more.
Siobhan Fahey's entrance still gives me goosebumps
She drank a bottle of vodka in the 12 hours before she was filmed! Shit faced!
Imo she makes the video. Her facial expressions are priceless.
The fact she was actually drunk at The time too, Shows what great acting it can be in the end!!
Okay cool you know her name do you want a sticker or something
Yeah , totally knockout! Surely a prime reason it was a hit!
Over 3 decades ago. My mind is blown. The memories I have associated with this song. 14/15 years old and full of hope and anticipation. Felt invincible. Fell in love with a girl and I still love her today. Haven't seen her in years. Good times.
oh wow. have you moved on to different partner?
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim we never got together properly. We still live in the same city but she's married with kids. I actually saw her recently, didn't get to speak but saw her.
Know how you feel 😢
I remember this song. I have not heard it in so long. It was nice ❤
Finally the kids are waking up to this masterpiece. To me: best song AND video ever!
After thirty years since it came out, this song still gives me the shivers and evokes a lot of emotions within me. What an amazing track and iconic music video.
30 years I am afraid!
@@hunkydory1973 1992, so that makes twenty...oh no, thirty years ago. You're absolutely right. I am getting old 😂
🤔
@@harold-thedutchguy so old that babies born that year will now be panicking about getting old :)
@@keithnicholas I’m going to pretend I didn’t read that
Увидев этот клип лет 30 назад помню его до сих пор. Рада, что есть возможность пересматривать этот шедевр и слышать изумительные голоса! Игра девушек бесподобна!!;
My partner suffers with chronic depression. I feel like I can really relate to this.
I fell in love with this song when it first came out and now I am falling in love with it again. It gave me chills when I first heard it and hearing Ghost’s cover gave me chills again.
Same. The fact Ghost is doing 2 versions of Stay makes it twice as nice. The duet one with Patrick Wilson for Insidious end credits and one all Tobias for the Impera box set!
Ghost did a beautiful job too ❤
The Cradle of Filth version is the best.
I’m a child of the 80’s & 90’s and I’ve no idea how I missed this song, but I’m glad I’m a GHOST fan cause it led me here.
kcuF ghost. And cher lloyd too.
This will be forever locked in my brain. Went for an Expat job to Ireland in March 1992. They played this song up and down as one of the women was Irish. Met the love of my life and married in 1995. Still in Ireland and the tears are starting to run down.
Awww😍💖
What a lovely story to share.
Thank you🙏🏽
Wishing you well in these troubled times. ❤️

Marcella’s voice is beautifull, but the part of Sobhian is magician emotional they both are GODDESSES!!!
💯🙌 powerful dark sound sorceress 🔥🖤🔥
Check out Marcella Detriot singing opera.. search her name and pop goes opera i believe. Its absolutely fantastic!!
Marcella the soprano and Siobhan the low range of a female. Marcella did this type of thing with Eric Clapton and Shaun Murphy was the more soulful raspy singer.
If Marcella is a goddess, I am Archimedes.
@@cascade3769 I think for a Voice
I had this song come into my head as i remember my dad playing this when i was young. Brings back some great memories he died 6yrs ago of lung cancer so the beginning bit brought back some bad memories on top of good. My dad use to always say be good if not be very very bad. Forever loved and forever missed never forget him as he was one of the best dads you could ask for. Stuck by me through some tough times never once turned his back on me. Although I was doing alot of bad things where I have seen parents disown their children for less. We were very poor but very much loved. See ya soon dad love you as I'm sure this is a sighn from you letting me know your energy still flows.
Watching her descend those steps is still spectacular 30 years later.
I've fallen on dark times. My closest friend sent me this song. It's the most touching thing anyone has ever done for me. She's an angel.
Stay with us
Bless both you and your friend. What would we do without these angels on earth?
Have faith that your dark times will ease. I hope better times are on the way for you.
Stay strong.
@@Eurafrican Thank you for the kind words. I ask myself that frequently. And through her, better times have arrived.
@@eefneleman9564 I plan on it. Thank you.
Above the clouds, the Sun is always shining... ☀
When death enters and the song/video take a very dark turn, it's so haunting and beautiful.
🙏✌️🇦🇺
Haunting and addicting. So beautiful.
Im scared of this song as first, whenever it plays on MTV90 but true its addicting
If by "beautiful" you mean "scary af" then yes, I agree 😱😅
An Untouchable original in all its glory.. please kids of today don’t even think about ruining this
I love how death is depicted. Especially to anyone in pain- mental or physical, death can look beyond beautiful and shiny. Like a treasure. And that scream in song voice is perfection 💕
Timeless classic. They pull it off brilliantly. Massively underrated group.
You are 1000% correct. Unforgivable that they were so overlooked in terms of talent, song arrangements and a style so unique at this point in music history..
Its as great as annie lennox's song Why omg just perfect
An absolutely timeless classic! Who else is listening in 2023?
I'm not, I'm listening...but I wear glasses.
me, hahah
Me
no one
21 January 2020 England UK happier times :)
The part she walks down the stairs and the piano plays oh my word.... my soul feels it
❤
Marcella and Siobhan voices were a perfect match. The contrast of light and darkness...flawless! And Siobhan's entrance in the video is stunning!
I like the way she rolls her eyes..its rather comical in such a dark setting!
I can imagine her as person of Neil Gaiman's stories, sister of Sandman. ^_^
Siobhan is gorgeous in this video
@@jeremysteckman6234 She could come and take me anytime :-)
Yup I heard that
Still one of the best "shock" changes in a song ever...
check out the eyes
Oooh What's a shock change??!! 😊😊
James Raymond It’s when a song or melody changes so quickly and is so completely unexpected during the play of it. Lots of musicians try it but few get it like this band did
Rob Taylor, you are absolutely right! It goes from angelical and serene to tense and almost scary.
Still is. Now and for ever
One of the most emotional songs of 90s. A pure classic that will never be forgotton.
It's better than the other "Stay" song that was more popular than this one at that time.
The lisa loeb song? That was released about two years after this song though.
No, this song was the most emotional. ruclips.net/video/pdwNlvCj87U/видео.html
Das Boxenkiller lied 😅 werde ich nie vergessen als Mama das Lied damals zu laut hatte ❤ Mama ich vermisse dich ❤
A video where Death actually appears and the mortal literally wrestles with them for their loved one. On top of that it’s an incredible vocal. Doesn’t get better than that
@James Kirby What I would call a frightening beauty.
Did you know that the video is based on a B movie from 1953 called Cat Women of the Moon?
@@matskieden511 i didn’t! I’ll have to see if I can get hold of a copy
@@matskieden511 I saw that movie as a kid, scared the bejeezus out of me!
@@servicekid7453 It may even be on RUclips somewhere
Grateful to Derry Girls for introducing me to this song!
I was declared clinically dead twice before I turned 21. I decided after the 2nd time that drugs weren't my friends. This song reminds me that there must have been an angel holding my hand to bring me back. The OD's happened in the late 70's. I have been drug free since and thankfully so.
Well done bro.
Bless you🙏🏽❤️
I've done exactly the same
I am so proud of you ❤️
Ich finde es so toll das Du so denkst kann wenig Englisch aber bin bei dir und ich liebe diesen Song
I love the eye roll
From an 8 year old girl to a 36 year old woman, this song still breaks my heart and tears flow. The screech gets me every time as they fight over him 😔
Your expression gives the men a hope that this world is not full of only selfish "material" girls without real emotions. Thank you.
Agreed! We are a year out in age but i feel the same

When my Dad was in hospital he was upset with tubes in his throat and I heard him say to Mum that he'd had enough, he'd had a lovely life with her, but he wanted to stop. The only time I heard Mum swear was when she told him "Don't you bloody dare". And the line here "But if you try to go on alone, don't think I'll understand" is that in song. They lived another 10 years and more together.
Great story.
😢😢😢
@@Rippschen :-)

This is one of the best music videos ever. It conveys so much emotion in just under 4 minutes. There are full length movies that can't do that. I still get chills when "death" starts down the stairs, that wicked grin on her face, as she's coming for him. Great stuff!
Simply memorable 30 years on.
Haha you're delusional
She's Beautiful !!!
Thank you, Andy James
masterpiece from the end of the 80s going into 90s. wow
It's like two songs in one this, a Ballad and then a rock twist. Fantastic, they certainly do not make music like this any more.
To be fair, they didn't usually make music like this back then either. That's why this was a massive hit.
I generally agree that music was better back then though.
@@strangevision99 Amen to that one!!! Deffo better than what we have now
@@krashd thank you so much I’ll check them out later this evening.
The Part of The Sister at 01:59 is absolutely genius.
My God...
one of the most underrated bands of the 90s.
April 2020 self isolation never felt so good with a few Budweiser and 90s classics
James Howat did anyone think that she could either portray Bellatrix Lestrange or Hela
Glad to know I’m not the only one who left here & went bk to the good ole 90’s
Maria DeFrank 35 didn’t exist in the 90’s....

Halfway agree, you need to drink better beer my friend.

yeah brilliant

*Key* moment - and she does it again in their new single too!
I am lucky enough to be see this the first time this came on The Top of The Pops - which I don't know why this discontinued it - anyways, and I to noticed that eye-roll. An yes- I am old as shit! LOL.

🕯️
@@wylanandthebombsYou don't know that.
My22 year old only son got stabbed in the middle of his brain two times at Boston Pizza in Prince Albert Saskatchewan. I got the call from the hospital and rush to be by his side. I fell to the ground and sang him this song everyday till he finally woke up out of the coma. The surgeons who performed 3 surgeries told he there is no explanation how he survived. I knew it was my love and prayers from many who love him. Today he is totally fine. ❤
Medicine is more than just pills and potions. Looking after the head and heart is just as important. Glad he's doing well.
Deo Gratias. Sounds like a miracle and I am pleased to read this.
That's truly wonderful and miraculous. Boston Pizza, eh? Ours here in Winnipeg don't usually get quite that lively, even in the lounge part.
❤❤
I was deeply touched by this back in the day because of personal loss. Still love the music and the classic video.
If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand
Stay with me, stay with me
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
Stay with me, stay with me
You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day in your own world
'Cause when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries in your own world
Only time will tell if you can break the spell
Back in your own world
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay with me
The way she just walks off at the end, like "whatever" is always hilarious.
The eyeroll to end all eyerolls
And she pulls it off again in all the kings horses. I assume she is hilarious, in fact they Both have that comedic twinkle in the eye

They blur it but it always seemed to me that Death was flipping them off at the end 😂

Ten minutes ago it just randomly popped into my head like “hey remember me?” Still as powerful, beautiful and haunting as the first time I heard it.

"where there is love, death is powerless"...incredible, thanks so much for this ♡ xx
I never get why Marcella doesn't get more credit. I've seen fans talk like she's just a backup singer, this song is magic because of her
Probably because Siobhan was in Bananarama and they were like a European version of The Bangles, they were huge over here and she was beloved because of that. Marcella was always going to be second fiddle to Siobhan, at least in much of Europe.
Personally, I love Marcy for what she wrote and sang together with Clapton.
I love her outfit.... it brings this song to another level
I love the song because of her bit!! 💕
@@cheetahpanther1306 Same here and I love her look
This has never been given the attention it deserves...an absolute favourite of mine....so deep...its so frikkin deep.
Well done ladies, for all new fans these girls had a band called bananarama in the 80's ......
When I was 16 in the mental hospital, there was this girl who lived down the hall who would sing this song at night. The whole wing could hear her. Helped me sleep soundly.
best comment
Omfg I wonder how many people she saved with that. I hope you're doing well, and I hope she's living a beautiful life.
I first heard this song in the adolescent mental hospital also!
Awesome story
"What a sweet sweet melod... oh, that got fucking loud quick! I love it!"
I remember being woken up by this song at 3am one random Saturday morning by a neighbour and here I am 15 years later... thanks Flanders!
Sorry I can't resist
Absoudiddlylutely!
😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what a way to be woken up !
Ha! This happened to me too! I was staying at a buddy's house in high school and sleeping on the couch. Fell asleep with the TV on MTV. Woke up to it disoriented and was nearly terrified.
Iconic song and was number one 30 years ago in the UK. In fact it literally STAYed at the top for a staggering 8 weeks. This set a new record for the longest stay at the top for an all female assembly...and 30 years later it still holds the record. Great band, great song.
It was quality over quantity in 1992 as most singles were low selling. This, however, is still an exceptional gothic ballad 30 years on.
@@davidcarrol110 Yes I agree. I did hear that the low selling singles was responsible for the one of the fewest chart toppers in a year in 92. I think that Stay, despite being number one for 8 weeks was the fourth best selling song of 1992.
ruclips.net/video/JJ4uxgsP0QU/видео.html
@@davidcarrol110 yeah I remember the Wedding Present hacking the system by putting out limited-release singles every month that year. Which made the chart whether they were good or not (they were not good)
I get chills every time ….unbelievable 🥹
That high note at 2:55 ... gives me goosebumps every single time.
High F. That's the same note as a whistle
Yep, the whole song lives for that. It tips it from a cool fun pop song into sheer spine-tingling greatness.
Yeh she had a hell of a voice!! Interesting fact Robert plant from zeppelin could hit that note. No shit
@@ScoobydcsHit the same note singing with Clapton and on the duet with Max Carl on the Short Circuit closing song Come and Follow Me.
