Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel do Roy Harper's 'Another Day'

Oh. Ow. That's just...too painful for words.

What is the source of the video? 20+ years on and I no longer have just audio.

It's from Kate's 1979 TV Christmas special. Interesting if slightly cringy in places looking back on it now! Let me know if you need a copy!

I think it's overacted and overdone emowise.
The Cure's Apart is mucho worse. Nice enough a tune for listenint to twice, and leaving you as a moralic wreck after the second time.

I beg to differ. Whilst the couple on the screen definitely are playing it for drama, that appears to be an artistic choice: it's the 'movie' version of a breakup. (The big hint is that it's on a screen...) The contrast with the 'actual' couple is stark, and I think they did a very convincing job of portraying what it's really like - awkward, uncomfortable, sad, and banal all at once. It's f**king heartrending - especially if you've been through that scene yourself, over and over and over...

Genius!

I still won't watch it ever again, it's really too much

In my perception, the Cure's Apart is about quite a different story ...
and - right - mucho worse - the whole video ...
I couldn't get the patience together to watch (and listen to it ) only for once.

I have to admit, that I really forgot - 'til now - what Kate Bush actually can to do with her voice ...

I think Apart is a heartbreaking song; because it is so understated (compared to other wobbly Bob songs).

Another heartbreaker for whole different reason is Tori Amos', Playboy Mommy. I can hardly hear that without a huge lump forming in my throat.

Thanks for the offer. I will keep you posted. Slightly cringy indeed, but emotional nevertheless.

Does the special include Kate and Steve Hackett doing The Angel Gabriel track as well? See my source for the audio. (That has the best live version of Games without Frontiers which I have heard. )

New Dawn Fades is quite a downer. And Asleep by the Smiths is pretty fcuking depressing too.

This is the DVD:



The other Gabriel track is worth watching for the 70's collars on his shirt alone! It's an Epping Forest DVD so the quality is amazing, they're pretty good those Genesis bootleggers!

I think it was Puressence's version that Debaser played me on the way to Leeds. Either way, choon.

Most depressing song? I dunno, whatever s**t makes me think of people I used to love.

Most depressing but in a good way.

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF0lRYhhiwI


oh...and Hope Sandoval is still very very hot.

'Fade Into You' is more melancholic than it is depressing. That, imho, goes for all Mazzy Star music, which I love very, very much (Ahh, Hope Sandoval....). 'New Dawn Fades', on the other hand is rather depressing, but JD did one better in that department, I think, with 'The Eternal'. That's just near unbearably depressing, what with the lyrical subtext being both literal and figurative death with a funeral for a backdrop and the music hitting it home in all its understatedness. It even beats 'Atmosphere', which is pretty bleak by anyone's standards...
