This is why I get up in the morning.

Because when I get home and read LJ, I will find out that one of my longtime favourite creepy quasi-goth bands, non-con lyrics a specialty, covered Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill".



I am putting this in the file where I keep the Johnny Hollow cover of "Nova Heart". And then I will hug it and hug it and make little squeeeeeee noises.

And write it a story.

In fact, I think I already know which story.

So there.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeee

Without even watching --

1) EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LIKE PLACEBO!
2) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! YOU LIKE KATE BUSH!
3) .....EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! MUST WATCH!

*watches*
*gets vaguely horrified*
*but intrigued*
*but scared!*
*but ... perplexed*
*but curious*
*but ...nose-wrinkly*

I think it's the video that's weirding me out. The cover's awesome. But the video... it's ... I just ... It scares me! And it's so weird to actually understand all the words without the '80s Echo of '80sness.

Also the video makes me think the song's about drugs. Which -- oh, Brian Moko, WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT DRUGS WITH YOU?

Now I want to see Kate Bush cover "Without You I'm Nothing."

Also, I shake my fist at you, because I was TOTALLY going to manage going to bed before 2:00 AM today! TOTALLY! But you foiled my cunning plans! FOILED THEM!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

That's okay. I avoid knowing anything about Brian Moko so I can keep all those songs as about S&M and relationships one really ought not to be in.

I agree, the video is too Myspace-y for me. I had to scroll away and just enjoy the song alone.

I admit I haven't watched the whole video straight through. I keep closing my eyes to gleeeeee. *g*
