Yup, the Jesus Christ and Joan of Arc lines, they just don't write lyrics like that anymore. I played this and some other garbage for my nieces and nephews. Thought for sure they would hate it. Nope, they all wanted to hop into the way-back machine. Kids today really don't have it easy.
Well she doesn't have a great voice to call her the best female rock singer but she still rocks and she is still very beautiful. Some people don't have all the privileges of the world. Beauty and a precious voice are not always together in one person. Alanis has a better voice but she is not as beautiful as Shirley.
SO many different voices in one poet Such lyrical brilliance married to hooks that burrow into you and make themselves a permanent home And with a powerful analytic brain behind it all. Truly a classic renaissance person -- and that's before we even get to the acting chops or model looks...
I was born in 2004. My mom insisted I hear this band at least once. Now I'm addicted. The 90s are the best and Shirley Manson is my new favorite person in the world. Her weirdness (which is awesome- normal people freak ME out) seems genuine whereas everyone else is just attention desperate. My favorite song of theirs is I'm Only Happy When it Rains. Everyone who doesn't know who this band (and particularly Shirley Manson) is needs to find out RIGHT NOW.
garbage had never performed live as group prior to this, and had initially had not considered ever performing live onstage even. the director for this video made them perform vow live while he filmed the takes. they ended up liking it so much that they scheduled tour dates. and the rest is history.
Interesting! Had to rechecked this video out after reading their book “This Is The Noise That Keeps Me Awake.” Apparently, Shirley was puking her guts out through nervous energy throughout this video shoot. This video is the first time they played lived together. They have not toured and weren’t even finished with their first album yet. Shirley had to prove herself to be a front person and she stepped up in a big way becoming a bandleader. Steve Marker, Duke Erickson and Butch Vig knew Shirley was in it for the long run. Super interesting and fun to watched history being made here in this video.
This information gave me goosebumps 🙃 I have severe covid right now so the goosebumps turned into a major chill and tremble. Worth it. Thanks for the info
Damn, talk about suffering for your art! Shirley is one TOUGH woman! Glad she made it through the whole video---it was worth it. Can't go wrong with Samuel Bayer!
This song is such an underrated classic and what got me into Garbage. I remember first hearing it on the radio when it came out in the summer of '95 and it is one of those songs that's so good, it instantly kicks your ass in a good way.
Weird memory with this song...I was wearing headphones before history class started, listening to this album. The teacher came in and said "hey what are listening to"? "Garbage", I replied. And he said "Ooh so why do you keep listening to them"? Corny as hell, but memorable.
+annie35 I actually have a similar one, but with a different song: I was watching the Stupid Girl music video on MTV (oh, those were the days...), and my dad walked in the living room and asked me, "What's this garbage you're listening to?" Little did he know... ;-)
Hi, I am a 37 yrs old man. First time I "heard" of that bandbwas in 1998. I was 11 yrs old. My mother's (40-ish) introduced me to that band. She was really moved by a young woman in rock music. Forward later, that band became one of the most influential thing i have ever heard, Version 2.0 is god tier!
This song, this artist, the lyrics, resonate the pain of loss before COVID-19. Been alone Three years now, lost everything, family, marriage, friends turned against me, left for dead. So thank you Shirley Manson, cuz I nearly died too.
Still my all time favorite song, cuz it resonates how badly I've been burned, and left for dead God bless you Shirley Manson. Ty for giving me this song to listen to when I need it.🌹👍
I recall when this song came out in the 90s, first time I heard of Garbage and right before I went to school for audio engineering. It conjured many emotions during a period of coming off of drugs and after 'choosing life'. This album became even more remarkable after I re-learned to 'hear' in school and became able to pick out the various nuances that 3 producers can weave into a recording.
I found this CD on my Dad's home stereo and I asked him " What is this Garbage?" He told me to listen to it and I did ... Wow amazing ... this track, in my car stereo(back in the day) was just so mesmerizing.. the whole sound of it blew me away... still does 30 years later,
So much attitude passively displayed in this amazing & underrated song. I was a metalhead in the 90's, but Garbage was still my favorite bands. I would still count them in my current top 5 and their self titled (debut) album is one of the best albums ever put out.
I had a chance to see them when they opened for Smashing Pumpkins' Melancholy tour in the 90s. Shirley had a great charisma on stage. If memory serves correct, this was the last song they played for their set.
+Lisa Blackburn When Garbage first formed Shirley was apprehensive about preforming live. But, after recording a few videos, she decided she may like the stage. With Shirley's stage prowess and great instrument players, they've been a big hit.
I've loved this song since it came out in mid-1995, almost 30 years ago. We were lucky to be that generation that saw this music on MTV, and experienced it on the Radio. You have to give a lot of value to the musical production of this song, the details, the layers of guitars, the effects, the mysterious atmosphere, Garbage were definitely and are very ahead of their time, they sounded very modern to be like Grunge or Britpop.
I've had "Absolute Garbage" on my iPod in my car for at least the last five years and it's all I listen to. I can tell how far away from home I am by which song is playing.
Whenever "In The End" by Linkin Park ends I ALWAYS think "Waiting For a Light That Never Comes" is next because my very first playlist had them in that order.
I still remember back in 1995, I was in a Tower Records (MISS them!) in the San Fernando Valley part of L.A. just checking stuff out, and they were playing "Vow" on one of their video monitors to plug Garbage's first album. As soon as I laid eyes on Shirley Manson I was instantly hooked and in love! Not only was she absolutely mesmerizing in this video, but the song itself was incredibly catchy, infectious, and very...erotic. NOTHING sounded like them at the time! I've loved Garbage ever since!
Former NYer who practically lived at the Astor Place Tower Records. They had the best sales and in-store performances. Saw Lisa Loeb and Dweezil Zappa play a set. Good times.
what a truely talented group, and still making music. I hope they never stop. Shirly Manson has such a beutiful voice full of ranges all over the scale . i will never get tired of listening to them.
I took my 20s something daughter to a Garbage concert a few years ago. She was eager to go but didn't know much about the group. By the end of the two-hour show, she was beaming with excitement and hoarse from yelling at the concert. She would yell "WE LOVE YOU SHIRLEY!" and said we were DEFINITELY going to do this again! A lovely memory that Shirley and the band brought to me and my daughter. YOU ROCK GARBAGE! Thanks for the memories.
You have no clue, how much this, song alone has an atomic impact into my life that resonates four years ago. Thank you for that strength and guidance into my life. God bless all of y'all cuz you truly saved one person. Me. Ty. I love ya.
I remember driving to work back in 1994 when this song came up on the rock radio I was listening to. First thing I did back from work is buying the album. I had the chance to see them live twice, one around 1998 at Saint-Nolff, later at Landerneau in 2016. Brittany (where I'm born and bred) is such a great place for festivals
This was such a great song and thank god the Detroit radio dj's were on it and played it!!! I was hooked to this band ever since!!! 1996!!!!! Most underrated band of the 90's!!! Love you guys!
That line, “You crucified me, but I’m back in your bed like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead.” Has been one of my favorite lines since this song came out.
I can't use what I can't abuse And I can't stop when it comes to you You burned me out but I'm back at your door Like Joan of Arc coming back for more I nearly died I nearly died I nearly died I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down I came around to tear your little world apart I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down I came around to tear your little world apart And break your soul apart Ah, you burn and burn to get under my skin You've gone too far now, I won't give in You crucify me but I'm back in your bed Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead I nearly died I nearly died I nearly died I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down I came around to tear your little world apart I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down I came around to tear your little world apart And break your soul apart I nearly died Oh, I nearly died I nearly died I came to cut you down, I came to knock you up I came around to tear your little world apart I came to shut you down, I came to rip you up I came around to tear your little world apart And break your soul apart Tear your little world apart Tear your little world apart And break your soul apart I can't stop when it comes to you I can't stop when it comes to you When it comes to you When it comes to you Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Duke Erikson / Shirley Manson / Steve Marker / Butch Vig
one of the greatest bands of the 90's and still rockn Best time for music in my opinon. So many outstanding bands, so few survived the industry Love this band, and yes Shirley not only has outstanding talent as do all the band, she is great eye candy.
I remember buying the cassette for this album on the strength of the hit singles 'only happy when it rains' and 'stupid girl'. Many, many, many headphone listens to the album later, this song was permanently cemented as my favorite song of the album... easily. It still raises hairs on me when I listen to it. Potent. Powerful.
Because of the freaking LA traffic, I missed their concert. One mile took me more than one hour so I just heard (not even see) their last 2 songs, at least I did see the entire Alanis concert!
What do you get when you put together a group of talented musicians and an equally talented woman with a great voice and tremendously beautiful? You get one of the best bands of the 90s
It's been God alone knows how many years and this remains one of the most powerful and compelling songs ever. And Shirley was, is and will always be the best and most beautiful rock vocalist ever. Loved her for as long as I can remember
Can't believe this song is 25 years old..oh my my..so many memories of listening it on mix tape..time flies..viva Shirley Manson...the best 90s rock chick
Love Garbage, saw them in 2002. I finally figured what this song is truly about. It's a conversation between the drug user, and the drug. The drug user is saying lyrics such as nearly dying and coming back for more, and burning to get it under her skin, and other signs of addiction. The drug, is replying that it's come to cut her up and break her down and tear her world and soul apart. A brilliant song. Reminds me of Metallica's Master of Puppets.
Of course, your interpretation is as good as mine. But having had a life burnt to the ground by a girlfriend with a personality disorder, I always read this song as a revenge fantasy.
There were quite a few too. I was big on L7 and Sonic Youth early on. Appreciated Veruca Salt much later on. PJ Harvey... when I put Dry on I *have* to listen to the whole album through. I'm not exactly sure what happened.
Truly unique and a pioneer in her time and even till now! She is honest and tells it like it is! Explosive, brutal and sometimes ruthless but there is no lying in her!
This band, I feel honored to be alive within their rise to musical legend status, and to have grown up on their music. Shirley and the boys are iconic. Garbage is iconic, and when my hairs are grey and those who are younger ask me about the influence of this band, I will tell them how truly inspired we all were to root them on !.
I haven’t heard this song in almost 10 years, almost forgot about this after my iPod broke after having it for most of my life. Glad that I listened to rock and alt-rock when I was younger.
Remember first hearing this song in early 1995 (on then-SF radio station 105 LIVE). Always thought Sonic Youth or L7 did it, found out months ago it was by Garbage.
Nominees for Best Garbage Song: Only Happy When It Rains (Garbage) Not my Idea (Garbage) Queer (Garbage) Super Vixen (Garbage) Vow (Garbage) Push It (Version 2.0) When I Grow Up (Version 2.0) I Think I'm Paranoid (Version 2.0) Untouchable (Beautiful Garbage) Parade (Beautiful Garbage) WINNER: Vow!
You're missing Milk; Stupid Girl; Bleed Like Me; Automatic Systematic Habit; Cherry Lips; Blood for Poppies; The World Is Not Enough; Androgyny; Cup of Coffee; Sex Is Not the Enemy; The Trick is to Keep Breathing; Bad Boyfriend; and Shut Your Mouth... and that's just off the top of my head. I know there are more that I'm forgetting...
Wow, that's quite a list!! Tbh I don't like Untouchable very much. It's funny cuz you like it. Still a good song, but nowhere near my fave. Not even in my top 40 Garbage tunes.
Loved this when it first came out, I was 14, I'm 42 and this still gives me goosebumps, especially the awesome ending
😂yo también WOW
Same!! The beginning with the alternating speakers. My mind was blown the first time I put this CD in my discman
Same!!
they don't make music like this anymore, jussaying
"You burned me up but Im back at your door.. Like Joan Of Arc coming back for more". Man, I love this line.
Like Jesus Christ comin back from the dead!!!😈👿
Yup, the Jesus Christ and Joan of Arc lines, they just don't write lyrics like that anymore. I played this and some other garbage for my nieces and nephews. Thought for sure they would hate it. Nope, they all wanted to hop into the way-back machine. Kids today really don't have it easy.
I never thought that line was all that great really
@@wanderandargo There always has to be a Goddamn hater somewhere in every comment section, right? 😡😡😡
@@chrishuston7162 ok Mr. 3X Angry Face 🥳
The grit, the anger, the fed up feeling is still so alive with this song. Awesome band, brilliant frontwoman.
My fav Garbage song.
I miss so much the golden 90's, what a great era 💜
I saw this song first.Love it , Best song EVER!Still listening!!
Arguably their best song!
SO TRUE
so good eh
Best female rock singer of the 90s.
nahkxxx DEFINITELY Shirley, Alanis Morisette & Court Love🖤🔥
@@kev8346 who is shirley?
@@kev8346 nvm i figured it out lol
Well
she doesn't have a great voice to call her the best female rock singer but she still rocks and she is still very beautiful.
Some people don't have all the privileges of the world.
Beauty and a precious voice are not always together in one person.
Alanis has a better voice but she is not as beautiful as Shirley.
"That redhead from garbage" some phrase i heards in my chilhood
Perhaps my favorite song of Garbage’s 90s discography. So cool and badass.
same
I agree. If I had to pick one favorite, I would, without hesitation, choose this one.
Vow and The Trick Is To Keep Breathing are my two favorite tracks
Same here
Garbage had everything. The songs the voice musical ability and attitude in spades. They went on to make 2 of the best albums of the 90s.
The Best mate! Well ok - Depeche Mode Ultra and Nirvana we all know what album...
@@gothikel Nirvana's 'other album' is still better than anything released since the clock struck midnight on the 90's.
God, I love this woman.
SO many different voices in one poet
Such lyrical brilliance married to hooks that burrow into you and make themselves a permanent home
And with a powerful analytic brain behind it all.
Truly a classic renaissance person -- and that's before we even get to the acting chops or model looks...
My Laggan Love.
Well I love you Tony Simmons
She is a specially talented and gifted human being. Check out the videos interviewing her. She has CHAAARM AND CHARIIIIIISSMA!
She's fucking awesome in concert
This song sounds so damned awesome with good headphones/earbuds on, or just with a good stereo speaker setup. The intro always makes my head spin.
I was born in 2004. My mom insisted I hear this band at least once. Now I'm addicted. The 90s are the best and Shirley Manson is my new favorite person in the world.

Only happy when it rains is the best!
Crikey.... I was 16 in 1994....
I turned 18 that year
I was also born in 2004 and I love Garbage too thanks to my mother hehe (90's and early 2000's songs of grunge, rock and metal are the best!)
Your not from the 90s

This is what peak 90's looks and sounds like.
Yeah. Its 90s in a nutshell. Alternative rock music with killer melody and chorus
Nirvana???
in _very_ small nutshell
Yes, Peak...
stucstickers nirvana was discontinued before the debut of garbage
Still gives me chills even after all this time. One of the greatest bands ever.
2:24
music climbs to another level.
how i miss the 90s
2013
Master Chef the song and album originally came out in 1996. The video was posted on RUclips in 2013.
So do I.

Absolute legend. I love this woman

Yes, Shirley is Legend. Period and end of sentence. . ..
Bloody right!
I'm still here in 2024 and never tired. Everytime I listen to Garbage, it reminds me my my 90s childhood. W 90''s and its music!!!
like Joan of Arc coming back for more!

Amazing that this was released over 20 years ago now. Still a great song and a great album.
sandman x The 90's revolution
This album is stellar. Not a bad song on it.
Timeless
This song, this artist, the lyrics, resonate the pain of loss before COVID-19.
Been alone Three years now, lost everything, family, marriage, friends turned against me, left for dead. So thank you Shirley Manson, cuz I nearly died too.
So many underrated songs and this is definitely one of those. Love Garbage
Still my all time favorite song, cuz it resonates how badly I've been burned, and left for dead

Still an amazing band with a captivating singer. Shirley holds the ears and the eyes perfectly
I was fortunate enough to see them open for Smashing Pumpkins back in the late 90's once or twice. and this is one of my favorite songs on the album.
Was Jimmy still in that lineup?
Amanda Laggan yes. It was the Mellon Collie tour.

That line, “You crucified me, but I’m back in your bed like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead.” Has been one of my favorite lines since this song came out.
I can't use what I can't abuse
And I can't stop when it comes to you
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more
I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died
I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
Ah, you burn and burn to get under my skin
You've gone too far now, I won't give in
You crucify me but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead
I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died
I came to knock you up, I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up, I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
I nearly died
Oh, I nearly died
I nearly died
I came to cut you down, I came to knock you up
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you down, I came to rip you up
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
Tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart
I can't stop when it comes to you
I can't stop when it comes to you
When it comes to you
When it comes to you

Literally one of my all time favorite songs.
Dat distortion on every sound is awesome
Congratulations to Garbage on the 25th Anniversary of their debut album. Happy Anniversary, Shirley, Duke, Steve and Butch.
Brilliant song, brilliant album, Shirley Manson is a GODDESS

clivel5755 I did that with Portishead "Dummy" album for the song "No one loves you". The album did not disappoint.
Same her. I love the way she says "I came to CUTCH YOU UP
I came to DRAG YA DOWN"
I got mine from woolies lol
I could not get enough of this when it came out in 1995
Possibly Garbage's best song. I love it.
Because of the freaking LA traffic, I missed their concert. One mile took me more than one hour so I just heard (not even see) their last 2 songs, at least I did see the entire Alanis concert!
Like so many people there, Garbage was a great band of our lovely 90's! Great era and souvenirs of teenage
What do you get when you put together a group of talented musicians and an equally talented woman with a great voice and tremendously beautiful? You get one of the best bands of the 90s
This is my all time favorite track by Garbage
same here! the way she sings the chorus gives me the chills. all the time.
Amen!
It's prime Garbage.
Just found this band and its just banger after banger with them! So happy I found them!
One of the most beautiful, styled and skilled singer ever, lot of souvenirs, phucking great band, lot of love and very grateful to Them ! ! ! ! ! 😻👍
It's been God alone knows how many years and this remains one of the most powerful and compelling songs ever. And Shirley was, is and will always be the best and most beautiful rock vocalist ever. Loved her for as long as I can remember

The drug, is replying that it's come to cut her up and break her down and tear her world and soul apart. A brilliant song. Reminds me of Metallica's Master of Puppets.
Of course, your interpretation is as good as mine. But having had a life burnt to the ground by a girlfriend with a personality disorder, I always read this song as a revenge fantasy.
Can't get enough of this song. I loved Shirley Manson in Angelfish too!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I miss the 90's music when women were being rockers and badass!!!
There were quite a few too. I was big on L7 and Sonic Youth early on. Appreciated Veruca Salt much later on. PJ Harvey... when I put Dry on I *have* to listen to the whole album through.
I'm not exactly sure what happened.
I loved all of those!
There were several female bands/artists that rocked.. Juliana Hatfield, Liz Phair, Hole, Veruca Salt, Belly, and The Breeders.
I hope you guys are ready to have your minds blown: There are still female rockers today, and they're good. [drops mic]

I know that was such a great time of so much talent! Who the hell is Katy Perry next to Tori Amos? Nobody, a generic pop princess!
God i love this woman too and the band!!!
I absolutely love this video! Shirley is such a badass rockstar. She’s 100% genuine and doesn’t try to be anyone but herself! Love Garbage!!!
Such a beautiful song
When I first heard that riff bellowing out of Duke’s Les Paul in 95 I thought,”oh yes, more please!”
First time I've ever heard this. Its good!!
Truly unique and a pioneer in her time and even till now! She is honest and tells it like it is! Explosive, brutal and sometimes ruthless but there is no lying in her!
And wow...she is sexy!
Indeed she was?!! Still looks great too.
Damn does this song hold up! I've always liked that instrumental bridge at 2:25. One of the best bands of the last 30 years.
This band, I feel honored to be alive within their rise to musical legend status, and to have grown up on their music. Shirley and the boys are iconic. Garbage is iconic, and when my hairs are grey and those who are younger ask me about the influence of this band, I will tell them how truly inspired we all were to root them on !.
Shirleys voice has saved my life no joke she's talked me out of such a bad place .... Appreciate her so much ..... Proud to be a fellow Scot
This 🎶 made me go out an buy this amazing album in 97 even though it was 95 released. Still banging 2019 🔥 🔥 🔥 💕 💕 💕
one of my faves... it has that rawness of the era... vocal through the guitar overdrive style is classic.
One of my all time fav songs in this universe. Shirley, Butch, Steve, and Duke are amazing!
I haven’t heard this song in almost 10 years, almost forgot about this after my iPod broke after having it for most of my life. Glad that I listened to rock and alt-rock when I was younger.
This song perfectly describes how I've been feeling & living, after unhealthy attachments to lovers . That chapter is over 🌹
Her delivery on “break your soul apart” is so amazing.
Garbage brilliant great band, sound great live.
Shirley rocks that outfit! Great music!
Absolutely my favorite song ever. I've been listening to it for years and will never get sick of it.

Remember first hearing this song in early 1995 (on then-SF radio station 105 LIVE). Always thought Sonic Youth or L7 did it, found out months ago it was by Garbage.
God, take me back to 90s...
Love reading all the great comments about this song. For me love the dark feel to this song. Lots of depth. Like said may be the best Garbage song.
The 90's were so Beautiful !

Still a good song, but nowhere near my fave. Not even in my top 40 Garbage tunes.
Where is 'The trick is to keep Breathing' ?
underrated band back in the day
still underrated
Sonia Gibson i know. i was a fan plus had a crush on the singer ☺
I think everyone had a crush on Shirley Manson at some point in their lives...
They most certainly weren't lol A lot of people appreciated and loved them in the 90s. :)
Underrated? Their first album went 2x platinum in the US. They were hugely popular.
how i wish everybody i knew listened to music like this
+Courtney Curvin agree
Right?
I don't agree because then it gets stale...
So true people who are opposites suck
@@karnesmaladjescent5391 he just means he wished he had this in common with his friends nothing to do with getting stale
