It is interesting how songs that were not the content of an album are better than songs that were part of the content of a 100% constituted album. And without a doubt, Slowdive is the best example of this. And we could say "I want this on Spotify" or "I want to hear it in studio album quality," but come on: that scratchy, retro, lo-fi sound is a plus here.
I don't know when this was released but after watching the Pitchfork documentary I can imagine it was part of the demo's that Creation's ditched after their first major album Just for a Day (which was release after their promising debut EP) which got bad reviews and was the start of the overall decline of shoegaze (other genres like grunge started to become more popular). And thus Creation dismissed a lot of Slowdive's demos onwards and put pressure on them which finally led to Souvlaki. Alyway, it's a pity these demos haven't been released officially.
Wow, I can’t believe I forgot about this song. This was my favorite band in high school, in fact the reunion tour was my first ever concert. I remember begging my dad to let me go. Years later I start listening to them again and find this song. You see just recently my friend passed, and his name was…well you can guess. I thought this song was haunting before, but now the lyrics literally give me chills.
This randomly appeared on my suggested videos and I’ve never heard of this band. My older brother’s name is Richard. He’s a bipolar schizophrenic. It’s been a huge suffering for my family because he refuses to take his meds. He’s been like this for a decade now. But we do our best love him as he is “Richard, I’m cold and out of hope…” Breaks my heart
My Dad past away his name was Richard. I don’t have the words to describe what this song means to me now. Its the one song I’ve found that slightly captures and correlates to the pain I feel.
I found this song like a few days ago and I saw ur comment but didn't paid too much attention to it. Now I'm smoking a cig on a balcony and fucking crying. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure ur father is in better place now. Bless you.
"its a man singing along to the guitar" So close! its actually the sound of everyone i trusted hurting me, its the sound of hopelessly wishing there was good people. Its the sound of my high standards hurting me in the end. Its the sound of being rejected, compared to by everyone. Its the sound of me never fitting in but fitting in anywhere. Its the sound of floating, never belonging. Hope this helps!!❤
@@victortr4836 Is it because it's relatable? whatever youre going through, i believe you have the courage to overcome it🙂I hope these words of encouragement from a stranger cheer you up.

The song is about richard who lies lifeless alongwith other bodies, the singer finds Richard lying facing away thus making it hard to know if he is dead or just asleep 💔 Richard, who's lying by your side? Your love and walls start to fall Richard, I fall inside your lies Richard, this world is not your home The silent life falls apart Your life succumbs, sun is dry Richard, your soul's around my heart Richard, I'm cold and out of hope There's a lie you told, it's gone Richard your lying on, entirely on your side. Pour out your old remorse, to pick it up and run Richard, I'll hold you while I can Your life, it all sounds so wrong Richard, I'm lying on your arm In night, your song is not your own Oh Richard, I'll miss you when you're gone You loved all the signs you see, Richard I know it's hard to pull without a goal, Richard and all your friends, you'll see us very soon, Richard I know you left your heart.
This song makes me feel haunted in a good way, its incredibly good i keep on coming back to it. Slowdive will forever be my fav band, the unreleased songs are so gooood
Richard how's life on your side? Your love and all start to melt Richard I fell on your lies Richard you slowly felt your fear The silent life falls apart Your life succumbs, sun is dry Richard your soul's with my heart Richard I'm falling out of touch There's a lie you told it's gone Richard your lying on, entirely on your side Pour out your old remorse, to pick it up again Richard I'll hold you like I can
I can't describe what I feel listening to this song, but I'm glad that I found out I'm not the only one feeling it. Gosh, I wish I had some of you as my friends.
@@binghamm I guess so, yeah. When I first listened to this song, I would sometimes cry, but after few months now it's kinda fixing my mood when I'm sad or stressed
Sleepless nights in nocturnal fade, accompanied with the cold embrace of the winds and fond memories, and the thought that newer ones will never come to be..
everytime i listen to this song i remember a friend, his name was Rodrigo and he was a beautiful boy and person. he passed away in June of this year literally at the night of his birthday, he turned 21… it was so heartbreaking knowing of his death because i was with him at his birthday party just hours before he decided to leave this world. i miss him a lot. sometimes i wish i were more close to him, i blame myself for not reaching out at time :( please don’t let your friends alone, make them know that you are there for they, text them and call just to make sure they can count on you. help them and be supportive to them. before its to late
i'm so sorry for your loss, i might not know the full details but I'm sure your friend is resting and has no worries now. i lost my best friend to suicide when she was very young, nine years have gone by and my heart still aches when i remember her, i get the regret and the suffering you must be going through, but please stay strong. someday, we'll be able to fully cope 🌷
I'm sorry... I feel this way because I also lost a friend, Anderson, to suicide. A few days before he killed himself, he came over to my house to talk a little, but I was tired and made up an excuse. Life is really crazy and unexpected. Receive my hug.
my grandpas name was richard. he passed back in february. though i wasn't that close with him, in the end when he had dementia i started to make more of an effort to connect with him. i miss him. i love slowdive and this song sorta soothes my grief
When I listen to this I feel like I'm floating above everything. I could be looking down on the planet from a spaceship and it wouldn't even come close to this feeling
I think this was the first Slowdive song I ever heard at the end of a long night of insomnia in the eerie weary dawn and I was mesmerized by the enigma of it.
This song is deeply inserted into me as I used to fall asleep to it for a week when I broke up with my ex, when I look back I see the beauty in that melancholic state which I was in and this song did bury me deeper into it. Such a beautiful song.
If you are reading this I love you. Don’t be so down on yourself. We may go through some tough and awful shit in this life, but don’t let that steer you away from the path. I hope whatever you’re dealing with…I just hope it washes off of you. Look up at the sky every once in a while, close your eyes, breathe, live, meet a friend, fall in love, doesn’t matter how small it is, this is the beauty of life. I love you all 🙌
this track along with sleep and so tired always makes me feel even more miserable than I was before listening to this, yet I can't stop showing up here every once in a while. life will get better eventually right? I love all of u especially Neil Halstead
Nothing can bring the past back. Regardless how it affects us today, there’s nothing we can do to change that. We can only…..carry on, bearing those effects. Everyone love yourself and stay strong. ❤️
A strong hint at the direction they'd take wth Mojave 3. This sounds like it could've been pulled off of "Ask Me Tomorrow". Slowdive has so many unreleased songs and b-sides that are absolute gems
I know, the slide guitar and simple acoustic arrangements etc. Actually, I think it was at least partially recycled into "Tommorrow's Taken": the chord changes, and the "miss you and your light/life" line (one of the only intelligible ones on this recording).
@@InfotainmentScan yeah woah i totally hear it in tomorrow’s taken , i also hear elements of this in Pictures with acoustic hook but i love the whole record
I was 19 when I first started listening to slow dive and this song was the one that got me. But I've always wondered about this picture? I wanna know something I don't know how to ask
Never heard this until today. It's so Mojave 3. I know the main band members/song-writers are the same - but this track really provides the pathway from Slowdive to M3. Thank you!
one of my favourite songs. i’m not sure if the feeling you get listening to this is describable, well, i’m not good with words, but it’s the “ quand je vais mourir j'irai au paradis car j'ai passé assez de temps en enfer” vibe
Take it from someone who was your age when Slowdive and similar bands appeared, the same would have happened if you said that to most people even back in the day. Sometimes it takes years to find a group of people or person that shares your eccentric, non-mainstream taste in music.
I love Slowdive!. This song in particular has a real late 1960's Donovan esque vibe to it, there was a big retro theme in the 90's as part of the Gen-X grunge movement, I think was in reaction to all the 80's synth and hair bands.
One more attempt at the lyrics.... oh, why did slowdive never release this gem? Richard how's life on your side? Your love and all the side of the light, Richard, I fall inside your light, Richard, your soul is not your pain. This side of life falls apart, Your life succumbs, sun is right. Richard, your soul is on my heart, Richard, I'm falling out of light. There's a light you hold… it's gone, Richard, your light is on, entirely on your side. Pour out to all, to pick it up around. Richard, I'll hold your light now. Instrumental…. Your light it all sounds so wrong, Richard, I’m lying on the wrong, In life your soul is not your right, Oh Richard, I miss you and your light. I’m loving all the signs I see, Richard, I know it's hard… too poor without you gone, Richard, I and all your friends, you'll see us all again, Richard, I know you left your heart.
I'm working through Slowdive's back catalogue. They could have made another couple of albums with this stuff. Pity the record companies were so driven by $$$$$
The emerging popularity of Grunge in the US and Britpop in the UK really did sour the scene for record companies, didn't it... It's not even that those genres were bad, but record companies were so incensed by money that they threw shoegazing into the limelight without recognizing the good (and profitable *ahem*) music that could come from the scene. If only they gave 'em a little more love...
/watch?v=pz4joc_fc4s "I saw the sun" was an album (maybe even two) of music that they produced before Creation made them scrap it. Along with this song, there are many excellent songs like "Sleep", "I believe", and the eponymous "I saw the sun". I believe there's lots of other demos floating around, and for that you may need to take to the RUclips recommendations ;)
Richard how's life on your side? Your love and all start to melt. Richard i fell on your lies, Richard you slowly felt your fear. The silent life falls apart, Your life succumbs, sun is dry. Richard your soul's with my heart, Richard I'm falling out of touch. There's a lie you told it's gone, Richard your lying on, entirely on your side. Pour out your old remorse, to pick it up again, Richard I'll hold you like I can. Your life it all sounds so wrong, Richard your light is so raw, In might your soul's not you own, Oh Richard I'll miss you when you're gone. You loved all the signs you see, Richard I know it's hard to pull without a goal, Richard and all your friends, you'll see us all again, Richard I know you left your heart.
Richard just lying by your side Your love and all sides of mine It's a damn false side of life Oh Richard just hope that's not your plan... Your side of life on the phone Well I suppose somethings wrong Richard your soul is all I know Richard I'm cold and I'm alone You said leave the doorway closed Pictures just hanging on, it's hard on us all What I do all alone to keep an open mind Richard just don't live that lie One light and all sounds are off Richard and I are on the run To invite the sun is not your right Oh Richard I miss you and your life All of the office is asleep It's your turn and now it's time to pull out your gun Its a game and all the boards the same as what you saw Richard I lost you now your gone
My best friend is Richard.. He took his life he was smart n so talented and just beginning to grow into a adult he needed more time he needed more love I'm still carrying you with me everyday Ill pull up n pick you up wherever you are, I promise I'll find you and take you to see the stuff you needed n wanted I love you forever
I was equally frustrated by the lack of lyrics for this song. Because i wanted to play it on guitar i have tried my best here to interpret what they are saying. In some places i had no idea so have sort of made it up a bit, sorry i tried my best! Richard how's life on your side? Your love and all start to melt. Richard i fell on your lies, Richard you slowly felt your fear. The silent life falls apart, Your life succumbs, sun is dry. Richard your soul's with my heart, Richard I'm falling out of touch. There's a lie you told it's gone, Richard your lying on, entirely on your side. Pour out your old remorse, to pick it up again, Richard I'll hold you like I can. (instrumental) Your life it all sounds so wrong, Richard your light is so raw, In might your soul's not you own, Oh Richard I'll miss you when you're gone. You loved all the signs you see, Richard I know it's hard to pull without a goal, Richard and all your friends, you'll see us all again, Richard I know you left your heart.
There's not enough men called Richard, perhaps parents feel odd calling babies Richard, as it's such a formal sounding name. I predict it will make a come back.
This track was written between Slowdive breaking up and the. first Mojave 3 album . Neil is the only person playing on it and singing ..it's his demo. The song changed slightly and was given to Rachel to sing . It became the song 'tomorrows taken' on the first Mojave 3 album 'ask me Tomorrow " x
I don't know if you'll see this comment but I just want you to know your comment is 10 years old and that's older than a lot of the kids on RUclips lol
@repulsive Thank you for caring enough to ask. You don't know how much that means to me.. seriously, I mean it. But you're right, I am pretty lonely & not in a good place right now. Just trying to distract myself a lot, sometimes with not so good things. I feel like I've lost myself. I'm just a mess, a horrible mess. Thanks again for asking. You made me feel like someone actually cares haha I know I sound f'ckn pathetic but this is how I feel & I wish it would stop.
So glad to be alive at the same time as you people ❤️ Too late to explore the world, too soon to explore the space - but just right to make the earth a better place
It's like the instrumental takes your mind and runs away with it. Takes you to a place that is so familiar, kind of like a ecstacy feeling. Then reality is set again once the singing picks back up, reminding you that you are In the present and no longer the past
i miss u, but i know u are better without me. im so proud of u, finally u passed the college exam, now you are studying the profession u wanted, psychology
Holy trinity of depression by Slowdive:
Sleep+Richard+So Tired
don't forget Summer Daze
When that first opening chords of So Tired hit, I might as well be dead.
Dagger too
3 of their best songs I think, and they're all good.
anyone know what era they belong to? are these songs from before the first album came out, or are they demos for Souvlaki? I need to know
It is interesting how songs that were not the content of an album are better than songs that were part of the content of a 100% constituted album. And without a doubt, Slowdive is the best example of this. And we could say "I want this on Spotify" or "I want to hear it in studio album quality," but come on: that scratchy, retro, lo-fi sound is a plus here.
I don't agree that the stuff here is better. I'd say they about equal if we don't take the latest album into the account
semiotically its better for your.. not everyone feel the way you feel and percieve this track as you do

this hits different when youtube is in night mode
coming back to this just hits differently....
this is my first time listening to this and i love it
First time I am listening to this, thank you so much youtube recomendations
I was 19 when I first started listening to slow dive and this song was the one that got me. But I've always wondered about this picture? I wanna know something I don't know how to ask
I always here.
Never heard this until today. It's so Mojave 3. I know the main band members/song-writers are the same - but this track really provides the pathway from Slowdive to M3. Thank you!
This song touched my heart.
A perfect song! It would be a radio hit for sure!
what a masterpiece. it is a pity that this song is on no official release. the band and the record company must have been crazy.
one of my favourite songs.
i’m not sure if the feeling you get listening to this is describable, well, i’m not good with words, but it’s the “
quand je vais mourir j'irai au paradis car j'ai passé assez de temps en enfer” vibe
@Diane Kirfman L’enfer de vivre
Underrated song.
I’m 25 years old, and when I tell my friends that this song is one of my favorites they mock it, guess I’m an old soul
I'm 16 and I'm in love this song
@@Nana-ic3twy’all are cornballs
Take it from someone who was your age when Slowdive and similar bands appeared, the same would have happened if you said that to most people even back in the day. Sometimes it takes years to find a group of people or person that shares your eccentric, non-mainstream taste in music.
No normies just hate us because we talk about self reflection and remind them of their mortality.
Look at you 😏@@enduplosttt
This band is simply perfect!
I am Richard and I love this song. And Slowdive :3
I love Slowdive!. This song in particular has a real late 1960's Donovan esque vibe to it, there was a big retro theme in the 90's as part of the Gen-X grunge movement, I think was in reaction to all the 80's synth and hair bands.
One more attempt at the lyrics.... oh, why did slowdive never release this gem?
Richard how's life on your side?
Your love and all the side of the light,
Richard, I fall inside your light,
Richard, your soul is not your pain.
This side of life falls apart,
Your life succumbs, sun is right.
Richard, your soul is on my heart,
Richard, I'm falling out of light.
There's a light you hold… it's gone,
Richard, your light is on, entirely on your side.
Pour out to all, to pick it up around.
Richard, I'll hold your light now.
Instrumental….
Your light it all sounds so wrong,
Richard, I’m lying on the wrong,
In life your soul is not your right,
Oh Richard, I miss you and your light.
I’m loving all the signs I see,
Richard, I know it's hard… too poor without you gone,
Richard, I and all your friends, you'll see us all again,
Richard, I know you left your heart.
😍💓
This is almost exactly what i think the lyrics are.
my favorite version of these lyrics thank you very much
You are not alone, this feeling will go away.
i love Richard so much, but my love is unrequited.
i love you eleonora
i love u, stranger. So much love for you
I also love you. Very very much, Eleonora Carcarino. Know that you are very loved, it may not be by Richard but at least you're loved 🫀
So sombre and calming, there isn't much like it♥
richard,I miss you and your life
this song makes me miss everything thats ever happened
no words to describe
a lot of emotions, feelings
վախ..Անս…
Why can't my memories be erased? It's been 20 years.. why?!
Wish I could remember mine :( at least some
Ever try heroin? "Erased" is probably an exaggeration, but it's still the closest thing I'm aware of.
I know so well that feeling. My memories have 10 years, and I feel them like it happened yesterday. Literally, yesterday.
@@InfotainmentScan that's not good advice
@@Mowxel no it isnt, but he speaks the truth.
This speaks to my soul..
this hits so hard
HELL YEE
Evet😔

I'm working through Slowdive's back catalogue. They could have made another couple of albums with this stuff. Pity the record companies were so driven by $$$$$
do you have a link to that back catalogue or songs that can point in that direction
The emerging popularity of Grunge in the US and Britpop in the UK really did sour the scene for record companies, didn't it...
It's not even that those genres were bad, but record companies were so incensed by money that they threw shoegazing into the limelight without recognizing the good (and profitable *ahem*) music that could come from the scene. If only they gave 'em a little more love...
/watch?v=pz4joc_fc4s "I saw the sun" was an album (maybe even two) of music that they produced before Creation made them scrap it. Along with this song, there are many excellent songs like "Sleep", "I believe", and the eponymous "I saw the sun".
I believe there's lots of other demos floating around, and for that you may need to take to the RUclips recommendations ;)
To the new generation : never let this masterpiece gets down.
richard i miss you and your love
i love this, im so glad i found this band
Richard how's life on your side?
Your love and all start to melt.
Richard i fell on your lies,
Richard you slowly felt your fear.
The silent life falls apart,
Your life succumbs, sun is dry.
Richard your soul's with my heart,
Richard I'm falling out of touch.
There's a lie you told it's gone,
Richard your lying on, entirely on your side.
Pour out your old remorse, to pick it up again,
Richard I'll hold you like I can.
Your life it all sounds so wrong,
Richard your light is so raw,
In might your soul's not you own,
Oh Richard I'll miss you when you're gone.
You loved all the signs you see,
Richard I know it's hard to pull without a goal,
Richard and all your friends, you'll see us all again,
Richard I know you left your heart.
Richard just lying by your side
Your love and all sides of mine
It's a damn false side of life
Oh Richard just hope that's not your plan...
Your side of life on the phone
Well I suppose somethings wrong
Richard your soul is all I know
Richard I'm cold and I'm alone
You said leave the doorway closed
Pictures just hanging on, it's hard on us all
What I do all alone to keep an open mind
Richard just don't live that lie
One light and all sounds are off
Richard and I are on the run
To invite the sun is not your right
Oh Richard I miss you and your life
All of the office is asleep
It's your turn and now it's time to pull out your gun
Its a game and all the boards the same as what you saw
Richard I lost you now your gone
@@Personofyourdreams which is correct?
Oh, no. Both of them sounds correct. D:
It definitely says 'by your side' - not 'on your side'
@@felipe0101santos neither lol
My best friend is Richard.. He took his life he was smart n so talented and just beginning to grow into a adult he needed more time he needed more love I'm still carrying you with me everyday Ill pull up n pick you up wherever you are, I promise I'll find you and take you to see the stuff you needed n wanted I love you forever
I was equally frustrated by the lack of lyrics for this song. Because i wanted to play it on guitar i have tried my best here to interpret what they are saying. In some places i had no idea so have sort of made it up a bit, sorry i tried my best!

very nice job...!! thanks for your cooperation
thanks a lot
:o is this it? after so many years searching for it... and even looking into the Mojave's recycled version...
Not quite right sadly.
Emil
Tell me why it is not right!😻
i really love the first 20 seconds of this... it's soo beautiful
Good melancholic and sweet melody
i just love this song
I try to dont cry with this song...
i’m in love with this..
Bu müzik için teşekkür ederiz... Diyeceğim tek şey bu!
I’ll miss you forever Roman. You’re souls with my heart
this song has amazing guitar work
There's not enough men called Richard, perhaps parents feel odd calling babies Richard, as it's such a formal sounding name. I predict it will make a come back.
I have no idea what they’re saying but this song has my name so I like
gosh I've never loved anything more than slowdive
Cada vez que escucho esta canción me hundo en lagrimas
This track was written between Slowdive breaking up and the. first Mojave 3 album . Neil is the only person playing on it and singing ..it's his demo. The song changed slightly and was given to Rachel to sing . It became the song 'tomorrows taken' on the first Mojave 3 album 'ask me Tomorrow " x
es como un abrazo triste, de la persona que amas
dark room listening to this
this is life
This song feels like reaching that certain point of life
Best thing they've composed. I'll soon start singing and composing. So inspired by Radiohead and this song.
so sad, i love this tune so much...
I don't know if you'll see this comment but I just want you to know your comment is 10 years old and that's older than a lot of the kids on RUclips lol
@repulsive Thank you for caring enough to ask. You don't know how much that means to me.. seriously, I mean it. But you're right, I am pretty lonely & not in a good place right now. Just trying to distract myself a lot, sometimes with not so good things. I feel like I've lost myself. I'm just a mess, a horrible mess. Thanks again for asking. You made me feel like someone actually cares haha I know I sound f'ckn pathetic but this is how I feel & I wish it would stop.
@@dixienormous6969 do you feel any better now?
So glad to be alive at the same time as you people ❤️
Too late to explore the world, too soon to explore the space - but just right to make the earth a better place
Eu te amo, Slowdive.
RUclips recommendations is the best, I found another masterpiece 🎉🎉❤
This world it’s not your home
Man this life can be so sh*tty

Saw them live last week had the chance to chat with Rachel, now I know why this isn't on Spotify tough I wish it was
Если здесь будут русскочзычные люди,знайте,вам очень повезло с выбором мелодии!!
It's like the instrumental takes your mind and runs away with it. Takes you to a place that is so familiar, kind of like a ecstacy feeling. Then reality is set again once the singing picks back up, reminding you that you are In the present and no longer the past
i miss u, but i know u are better without me. im so proud of u, finally u passed the college exam, now you are studying the profession u wanted, psychology
To be written into song or a poem means you are immortal from that point on.
we will die alone as there are hundreds of people are around us.
@Eda burada ne işin var ...

Love Slowdive ❤
