Tanita Tikaram - Twist In My Sobriety (1988) - OMG ... forgot about this awesome tune!

Haven't thought about Shakespeare's Sister in a long time.

#1 in retrospect that maybe was my first glimpse into a mindset that later led to a full blown gothic chapter of my life which I never fully abandoned.

I used to listen to VH1 and MTV (and then MTV2, because MTV stopped doing... y'know... music), and I don't even remember any of these...

#1 I've been listening to this one, and Turn The Radio On, for 34 years. I guess I've never seen the video. All this time I thought it was a lesbian breakup song. One is unstable and cruel and the other is stable but damaged and in love with her girl.

Why call it 90s when almost all songs are from the (indeed way better) 80s?

Oh damn, Belinda Carlisle. That's a childhood crush, right there.

She was so so pretty, and Heaven is a place on Earth is one of the first music videos I’ve ever seen.

#1 in glad this wasn't popular in the late 90s. I dressed like that enough as it is.

Coming home after sitting on a public bus or train for what seemed like forever, not too pissed or out of it, just enough to feel pretty good right there, right now.. and then Mazzy Star send your tired ass to sleep on the couch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImKY6TZEyrI

Stay is a great tune. On that edge between what we now call "goth" and something more pop or mainstream. Same as cure, strawberry switchblade, wall of voodoo, concrete blonde. Even love & rockets and GLJ, although they were scene insiders, musically they're more adjacent to it.

Just had the Dandy Warhols remind me how much I love The Cult - Rain: https://youtu.be/RD5b_0QB0wI?si=ua1DTyhs_L_7K7nI

I love Kate Bush, I really do, but when the Placebo version comes on, I have to crank it so loud the walls shake.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. 😀
LeifHietala
I miss the 90s sound. It had a liminal quality.

#1 On the day of the video shoot after doing the earlier part the singer went to a bar while on break and got very drunk. She came back and they put her in the black makeup/outfit. She isn't acting in those parts she isn't nearly black out drunk.
Atratvs
I think "Stay" is perfect for a metal cover because it allready has that slow "riff" in the background.

#3 Am I crazy or was that song not really well known until Stranger Things? I was alive in the 80's and I do not remember this song. At all.
Reidsb
Yeah it was pretty under the radar in America at least until then. I believe it was much bigger in the UK.
I knew about it slightly earlier because Warehouse 13 also used it to great effect, a few years before Stranger things.

Now most of this stuff is automated.

#1 She has remarkably nice teeth.

Uncanny.

#1 I remember reading about this music video ages ago, that one of them was drunk and angry about something, so she was exaggerating her expressions in the clip and the director loved it.

Sparkly outfit. Kept falling over. Looks great !

He's so young in this one!
MachaGrey
as a Genx...this is so weird to watch...When I hear this song I can only see the video...he just looks way to calm singing this LOL
velcrosnake
I still love watching the Gunsmith Cats AMV someone made with Sabotage.
onecowboytoo
Is that classical music?
NeverShaveYourDuck
Was this performance all the way back in the 80's?
Epic, in any case.
Foehammer262
Sabotage came out in '94.
NeverShaveYourDuck
Right so. I should have read the post title better.

#1 for what it's worth, Ghost covered Stay a year or two ago -- https://youtu.be/agXKgOxKgMU

I would pay good attention to hear Puddles sing this
Ambrosyus
Patrick Wilson had some pipes that I didn't know about until that song
DethKap
Cool. Thanks for the link. I've only recently started to explore Ghost. Take your fake points.
BlindTreeFrog
I just wish he would cover Forsaken before he retires the band. Alas, seems not likely.

It's good, but.... For me it's all about Cradle of Filth - Stay. https://youtu.be/MtOKcxH5Dos?si=Sa3EckaLHt1XsfD9
DuineSgith
I was not aware of this, thanks.
nyarlathotep777
I think Cradle of Filth’s was better https://youtu.be/MtOKcxH5Dos?si=ZbRSmQoxAlQ0Nxpz
Tuneytunes47
It's a good cover ..although my cover band performs the SS version. Like it better.
thedudeman519
Damn Patrick Wilson really does show up everywhere
animi
Was he drunk as shit during the video?

I thought I remembered that too.

Placebo does a great Running Up That Hill too.
