This song is co-credetited to Francis Rossi of Status Quo. The whole song is actually their (quo's) single Matchstick Men, I believe 1968. Brilliant tune and nice arrangement by Death in Vegas with Liam.
This song just shows the progression of Liams Voice through the years. It absolutely fits the track perfectly. Liams always had that great Rock Voice as it is but certain songs show it a hell of alot more and Scorpio Rising is most definitely one of them.
I've had my own demons to overcome and hearing this song there are so many lyrics in it that truly resonated with me at that stage. If I don't go crazy I will loose my mind. Hope your conquering your demons 💚
@@josephquigley5037 ah so you get it! I feel exactly the same..when I got out of rehab I was struggling with the crippling depression and social anxiety.. was suicidal. . Music is amazing to heal with..glad I'm still here..glad you've conquered your demons..stay safe mate ..fuck covid 19
He needs a few dance breaks n beats in his music sometimes , Noel was always more into that e.g chemical brothers this is the closest Liam got really , no excuse seeing as Liam Howlett, The Prodigy is his brother in law.
Massive attack and unkle don’t do it either. As long as they are credited in the rights for royalties they don’t have to list feat on the record sleeve.
@@davidandrews9744It's actually "forked tongues pointing out my sins". That whole verse is full of snake metaphors! And of course saying someone has a "forked tongue" means they are speaking spitefully, deceitfully, or just flat out lying.
"Pictures of matchstick men and you" Status Quo original track. You listen to it young 'uns and see the similarities. Quo were credited in it for writing. True!
18 years searching for this song, and causually steped into it while looking to Kenneth Anger's 'Scorpio Rising', which was suggested by Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Valhalla Rising'. I knew I would find it some day, now I can go in peace.
Julian I have been searching for this song since 2003. I knew It was liam but not Oasis. I searched for two decades until now I put Liam Gallagher songs and now I found it. It did not show up in the past though. What coincidence we both found it almost at the same time. I was aware of the Rythm because it sounds like Fly away from Lenny Kravitz.
I NEVER GET SICK OF THIS SONG OR THE CLIP .. HE IS RESCUING HIS LOVE FROM A SEEDY CONCUBINES HOUSE ! PSYCHIC EQUALIZER IN YOUR MIND - ONLY WAY TO GO !! SCORPIO'S ROCK !
I haven't heard this song in ages probably since it was first released.. It sounds so good even after all this time... in fact I think I like it more now than when it first came out

The first time I saw this video I was in rehab coming off heroin .. This gave me life! If we had to choose one song .. That would be our personal theme song .. Scorpio Rising is it for me ♥️💜
Epic song and video to cover the generational curse / mission of people born between 1981 and 1995 - the generation of the scorpio where these people will have to fight for their freedom.
Due to the deluge of Liam fangirl comments filling this page, I hoped this Japanese post might provide some insight into the story/symbolism/whatever depicted in the Japanese video. So I got the comment translated into English. To say I was beyond disappointed at the result is an understatement 😞
A true independent way of expressing everything from life to tablets!!we all suffer and have addiction but people never admit it liam !!!!!!as u we’re brother ❤
«One-arm film stars on alien beaches, potted gold and tattooed faces; Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hopes; Diazepam dreams there catching streams. Paper dinosaurs, flash blue and green... Still I've got a flash-bulb head» You can almost feel it.
Why has Liam not sung this song Live? If anybody has any ideas on how to make this happen it would be an absolute Rock' n Roll pleasure and privilege! Sing it live for us Liam! Please!!!

Who's listening 2024?? Used to hammer this banger on the juke box! LG best vocal ❤
here here :)
I am
me too
Correctamundo !! 🤷🏻
+ one
One of the finest vocal performances Liam has given.Gas Panic is his finest moment for me.
+Ian Hardie Liam's vocals pinnacle was at Be Here Now (1997) irrespective of how it fared.
well said m8
Ian Hardie 100% agree
He was also brilliant on the B-side to Go Let It Out - Let's all Make Believe. It's out of this universe the range of his vocals!!
yuna1971Agree, I love that song too!!!
This is the song Liam was born for!
shame he ripped off somebody else's song lmao
what song was ripped off?
+IRkorpus gametag status quo - pictures of matchstick men. Francis Rossi got his name down as a writer, so it's all good now 👌
Pete Rose my god! I've never seen that until you said!!! You're bang on the money with that one! Well done for Francis Rossi!
lol innit just!
the best song oasis never made
Totally agree
oasis? this is Death in Vegas!!!
@@maxdesmer2008 They said "never" not "ever" ;)

Liam on vocals, amazing. Pure rock n roll! Live Forever!
AGREED , very good vocal ,music is great too
Awesome..love this hidden gem of a tune..
Doesnt matter what year you listen, great music is eternal....
A fantastic song. Defo in my top 10 of all time. Lyrics are outstanding and Liam’s vocal is the best since a young Jim Morrison
was there ever an old Jim Morrison? I know what you mean though,
Was in rehab qhen I first heard this..I was detoxing off heroin..made me forget my withdrawals for a few mins
Hope you managed to get off the brown. Top tune
@@deltennent9146 I did mate..I'm now down to 0:08mg of Subutex...almost home! 😊

Liam: remarkable vocals
Norman Dario Franco Vanegas mad for it
Pictures of matchstick men, Liam Gallagher, death in Vegas, what a combination, what a tune, still sounds as good as it did when it first came out
I've only just heard this track at work - two things sprung to mind -
Status Quo
Liam Gallagher
I was right, after all!
A great track 😄
Thats how Liam's new project should sound like
He needs a few dance breaks n beats in his music sometimes , Noel was always more into that e.g chemical brothers this is the closest Liam got really , no excuse seeing as Liam Howlett, The Prodigy is his brother in law.
Wall of Glass.
Ray In the House he did a tune with the prodigy called shoot down
'It doesn't have to be that way' and 'Invisible Sun' kinda sound like this one in my opinion.
Ino people ☮️ what a cine make of classic class
You should add 'feat. Liam Gallagher' in the title...because his vocals rock!
2011Vass I absolutely fucking agree with you there
Trip hop bands don't do that, it comes from soundsystem culture.
I thought that bands had to do that by law, recognising artistic input from other peeps on a track
TOTALLY AGREE 💯
Massive attack and unkle don’t do it either. As long as they are credited in the rights for royalties they don’t have to list feat on the record sleeve.
great vocals by liam,,
Best Liam Gallagher vocals of all time! Untouchable!
Is it actually him ?
@@mickyss7766 Yes it is
Of course!
If I don't go crazy I might lose my mind.
Love that line.
drumdust -Might?
I prefer the "fucked holes pointing out my sins line"
Yeah 👍
@@davidandrews9744It's actually "forked tongues pointing out my sins". That whole verse is full of snake metaphors! And of course saying someone has a "forked tongue" means they are speaking spitefully, deceitfully, or just flat out lying.
@@calebfuller4713 so it basically means the owner of the "forked tongue" is a snake. fascinating.
Massively under rated tune, Liam's vocals at his finest.
Not really underrated, it was a hit and on heavy rotation on radio & music TV when it was released.
Just add "Feat. Liam Gallagher" in the tittle and I will assure you, you will see it rising.
It does'nt need to rise, this is a rare pearl for not all, signed Death in Vegas.
I wish quite a few folk here would find themselves up to their tittles in rising scorpions.
This is one of the best vocal performances of Liam ever. Period.
Such a classic. Absolutely fantastic track and beat.
It's 2021 and I'm stillll in love with this song! Liam is the bomb with his insane vocals 😍😍😍
2022
@@jonharrison3814 2024
I haven't heard this song in ages. I finally found it and I connect to this song even more now cause I'm a Scorpio rising.
"Pictures of matchstick men and you" Status Quo original track. You listen to it young 'uns and see the similarities. Quo were credited in it for writing. True!
You're 100% right; good to see Death In Vegas doing the right thing and giving credit where credit is due to Status Quo.
"If i don't go crazy.. I'll lose my mind.."
This song would have fitted well on 'standing on the shoulder of giants' class song!
It reminds me a bit of Go let It Out
I do completely agree with you!
Pitty it aint an Oasis tune.
No, bc this is better than anything Oasis ever made.
I don't get tired of this awesome tune.
Still sounds awesome in 2020
Try it in 2021! Even better
unlike his voice these days
2022, fine as the moment it was released.
2023
2023! 😎
One of the most positive song for mood improvement :). Perfectly matched tones and amazing vocals by Liam Gallagher!
Classic tune.. Remember when I first heard this.. Still gives me goosebumps in 2020
no one would be able to sing this better
One of the best songs and videos ever made. Liam ❤

Brilliant song and video, remember buying the single, love singing it on drunken guitar nights, brings such good memory's :-)
Dad bought me this CD for Christmas one year. Whoop whoop❤
Magic voice 😍
If I don't go crazy I'll lose my mind
Amazing how Liam's voice blends in well!
UUUUUH a lot of years trying to find this song and NOW I found It :D I so Excited
Need to thank the mighty status quo for giving us this , blinding take on it ✌️👌
Je confirme :
Pictures of Matchstick Men - Status Quo 1968
When you kiss the base of my spine
Make my body into your shrine
You give me this feeling deep inside
One that I can no longer disguise
While other snakes just shed their skins
Fucked holes pointing out my sins
Even though I realise that history's not on my side
Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more
Flying high upon the gallows
Too messed up to step out of the shadows
A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow
Rescued from this deep dark hole
Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails
Time is nigh for you leather girls
Maybe we should end this race
Vanish while we cannot leave no trace
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind
See one-arm film stars on alien beaches
Potted gold and tattooed faces
Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops
Diazepam dreams there catching streams
Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more
Come along nice, come along dead
Scorpio rising, and paint it red
A psychic equalizer in your head
Come along nice, come along dead
Scorpio rising, and paint it red
A psychic equalizer in your head
thanks for the lyrics...
superb
Wrong lyrics
Agostino Gallo cheers dude! X
Diibbss Dave cooper corregila tu!
THIS SONG ......no other words..........classic!!
The first time I saw this video I was in rehab coming off heroin ..

i love this so much! his voice is just too good.
This must be Liam Gallaghers best vocals ever, and the lyrics, brilliant!
当時これを聞いたとき衝撃でした。流石UKの方々がやれることだと思ったものです。パンチとダーティーさが半端ない。今でも、一級のロックの一曲です。そして，リアムってこういう感じの曲を歌わせるとドンピシャでしょ、私はクリーンなリアムよりこんな感じが、本当は好きなのです。

Amazing song, suits Liam's voice perfect. Always loved it. Video is bad-ass too.
Epic video!!!!!
This vocal makes this song next level 😎
To find this song is like i have found gold on the mountain.
What an amazing song lyrics guitar and his voice is made for it
I'd love it if Liam sang this on his comeback shows this summer....
