I love you Golden blue
 

I read on the "Ask the band a question" thread that it was maligned by fans and critics, is this true? I personally think its beautiful, it even made me cry once.

It's never made me cry by I agree with you. It's one of my favorites off of sonic Nurse.

i love it, i love kim's half hushed whisper, it is entrancing. the song is enthralling, completely beautiful.
i'm going to listen to it now.

People have been bastards to 'sonic nurse' and 'rather ripped' because, of course, after all these years, sonic youth owe them, right?

The fact is that both of the albums are killers and people are just being bitchy.

I love Sonic Nurse more than any other SY album. I LIKE Rather Ripped rather than loving it. But since NYCGhosts and Flowers i cant imagine another band who has done 4 albums in a row that are so good. PLUS theyve done that a few times before.

The Live version from Malmo is pretty fantastic....I can just see the band emerging on the stage to a long intro very cool

Love, love, LOVE this song. The video's great too. Unfortunately, the only live version I have of it is rather poor.

If I was musical and in a band, I would open every show with this tune. That is, until the audience started protesting and hurling things.

its probably my fave of that album and i really dont know why anyone wouldnt like it really.

It is my favourite on that album too and i particularly like the lyrics and Kim's singing on it.

You' re so right, it gives me the same feeling too... Isn't melancholy so... strange?

Gorgeous

That sure is a great song. Nice to see that Nurse is still being talked about.

I mean, it can be such a sweet feeling... Artists need to be a little melancholic in order to produce a good result, because it has to come straight from the heart.

Opened with Golden Blue the majority of the time on the NA Nurse tour, about the best song they could have opened with.

yea i really like this song too, I dont understand how anyone could hate it.It has a real fragile beauty to it with Kim's whispery vocals sounding like shes on her last two legs.

This thread made me play Sonic Nurse once again. One of my favorite albums.

Maligned? I don't understand that. I think it's one of the best Kim songs, period. She said in an interview that it was the darkest SY song she'd written lyrics for. It made me cry too......

It's true. It's pretty perfect.

reminds me of that song from superman. anyone else?

Best song on Nurse.
