I laugh at Andy Atkinson's comment, this song is stunning, a great vocal on this track, and a perfect compliment to The Fall's more esoteric geometrics and mind blowing word play interweavings ...
qashak: thank you so much for writing back to me. I know that the Fall are categorized as a post-punk band (English rock critic Simon Reynolds classifies them as such in his brilliant book *Rip It Up And Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984* [books.google.ca/books?id=dK-F43T8V0wC&printsec=frontcover&dq=rip+it+up+and+start+again&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiY74n25NzcAhUad94KHdtWARMQuwUILDAA#v=onepage&q&f=false] [ripitupfootnotes.blogspot.com/2008/11/footnotes-11-chapter-10-just-step.html], and writes about them extensively in the context of post-punk rock music); all I meant by my above comment was that, on this one track, it *sounded* like the Fall's version of folk-rock. And that surprised me, because all the other Fall material that I'd listened to in the past - *Live At The Witch Trials" , *Hex Enduction Hour* , *Extricate* , *The Light User Syndrome* , seemingly dozens of other albums - have all sounded, to me, like the *opposite* of folk-rock. And that's why I like them. I like "Janet vs. Jane and Johnny", too, don't get me wrong, it's just...what's that warm and strummy guitar doing there? By the way, do you have a favorite Fall song? Or a favorite album of theirs?
Ano, ta kytara je také trochu v country stylu (nebo alternative country)... czcams.com/video/f-vpAn15-vE/video.html My favorite video...:-) czcams.com/video/THlgU-8dMYg/video.html
qashak: Oh, fabulous! Thanks so much! I haven't listened to 16 Horsepower before now, but now that you've told me about them, I know I'll have to listen to them some more. They do sound great; they sound a little bit like the Bad Seeds (my other favorite band, besides the Fall). By the way, do you like Nick Cave?
I have not listened to The Fall for many years, listening to new bands. But my favorite album is for sure "Code: Selfish" (and "Bend Sinister" and "I Am Kurious Oranj" too)...
Really? I've followed them since 1978, saw them at Nottingham's Sandpiper and heard them on John Peel if they did a session with almost religious devotion and I used to try and dictate other peoples musical taste for them, I even thought I was doing them a good turn, to be fair though, turning Fall virgins' on to their style of music IS a good deed but I'm afraid you go too far, implying that not liking this number somehow diminishes my love of their music in general. I happen not to like it at the moment but it may grow on me in the future as many other, tracks have over the years. I no longer pass judgement on what makes someone a Fall fan although I cheerfully slag off their opinion if it happens to disagree with my own! All done in the best possible taste and no malice intended.
Coming in very late with blindness had no idea he could do something so pretty. Brings to mind androgenous.
The song that started it all for me, rest in power Mark, may your songs be playing all over globe today

christ we all miss you mark
@@arbogastk310 Especially his esoteric geometrics...
Rotate Mark.
@@Johnconno I dont see the geometric in here
@@bazziman2bazzi517 Look at the first comment.
PJ Harvey does a terrific version of this live (yes, it's on CZcams).
Man, you got that right.
Amen, I love PJ's version!
Pj Harvey tentou destruir essa música
agreed, but the fall's is best.. me thinks
untouchable
If you like this one give Chicago Now a listen too ,in a similar vein ❤🎶
Thanx. I have this one in my CD collection... 👍👍👍
R.I.P my hero
tocotronic brought me here
Ben Pritchard. Nice work acoustic. Rare on a Fall joint. MES fades about the beat.
Genius
vraiment, oui.... mais qui le sait vraiment ??
RIP MES
The usual lyrics guy went mental.
Smith tried DMT. The result.
mark e. smith can do no wrong in my eyes.
You never met him then?
@Alex Deb asK suspected,this track goes up in my opinion every time I hear it, still might make my top 10
Oh er madam... I've just realized what I wrote there.. oh matron...
i missed important telly vision reading a cheeky comment and so i feel ripped off not by commercializum ,but by laziness.
im so sorry
Such a sweet and spooky song: the Fall do folk-rock?
The fall plays very diverse music. I call it post-punk. :-)

Dont Fear the Reaper
Classical Gas.
Mano Negra too...
yes I hear what you mean
Cowbell!!!

Call the music-police, quickly.
Bands should not be allowed to do what this band does, seemingly effortlessly.
Wwwoah.. Never heard this before, what's goin on with Smiths voice? Don't like this at all..
+Andy Atkinson Really? I (honestly) think it's one of the best songs they've recorded this century... :)
+Andy Atkinson Rowan Atkinson said... :)
+R. ROOKSBY Yes, it's great song...
if you like The Fall not possible not to like this !!!
