Music, words, places, people. Pedantic and cronish with goth tendencies. Tries to be kind.

'I went out drinking with Thomas Paine
He said that all revolutions are not the same
They are as different as the cultures
That give them birth
For no one idea
Can solve every problem on Earth'

Agree, amazing that the song works so well with so many different treatments, guess it's evidence of how good it is.
And the claustrophobic video! ๐Ÿ–ค

There's a line in a The1975 song about going to a Pinegrove show, where 'they didn't know about all the weird stuff, so they just left it.'
Well, this is SM weird stuff, and it's in my top 30.

I had a similar figure for The Cure. Should we be a bit ashamed we aren't being useful in some way instead?*

*No.

Vermes: Vermouth comes from the word, as a drink that was likely to cure problems of the digestion, including worms.

Fantastic, SO looking forward to seeing you all. (Edinburgh). And if you could just include 2 Late, and ask Rob to get the words right, that's be terrific! x

Back when SM started, this 8 minute Lou Reedish epic turning up in the middle of a set must have equally amazed and baffled audiences with its trancey choral feel and mysterious lyrics.

I was surprised SOALW wasn't in my top 5.

Yes the list of songs your link gave. And I like a bit of dancing, as well as the deeper gloomily songs ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh your choices are much earlier and much more serious thinking than mine. I am such a lightweight. I love your less mainstream choices. But I like what I like!

No 5 is wonderful, but totally different. I was sursprised that SOALW wasn't in top 5 but guess it was close.
Your top ones, if you do Spotify?
