So you want to be alone, run and hide inside your home
Watch you fall away from me, sinking into misery
Taste your smile and hold my hand, make you laugh and make you dance
I remember this, everything was in our kiss

Sink my hands into the sea, reach your fingers up to me
Trust me one more time I can only try
Throw yourself to me and I'll try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free, let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free, let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free, let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free, let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free, let me try to pull you free
Let me try to pull you free, let me try to pull you free

About time we had some Lush on RP.  This is some of the best of the shoegazing genre.

Always have digged this groove!  Of course, those strumming guitars make the song.

And maybe Undertow by Tool? Nah, that's probably asking too much.

Love that Wall of Sound effect.  At the old Salt Mine this morning and alone — I sent the minions off to a seminar.  Now setting volume control to Maximum ... Music City loves RP.

Great band! {#Dancingbanana_2}

Saw Lush open Lalapalooza in 1992.

Saw Weezer with Lush as the opening act when no one knew who River and the boys were.

On another tour Mojave 3 opened for Lush which was how I discovered Neil Halstead & company. What an incredible show!

Ahhh the 90's were a great time for Indie Rock!

That's where I actually first heard this song! It took me forever to find out who it was. Her car was a '68 Camaro - that caught my eye too, as I have a '69. Great song!

Great Layering...Speaking of Layering, I think I am going to go watch Layer Cake when I get home. Sienna Miller is really hot. Jude Law is an idiot. I would marry her, or Natalie Portman.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Julie Cruise?
... as in, "Julee Cruise couldn't touch this band?" Yes, that's right. My only complaint is that I wish they'd boost the vocals and tone down the wall of sound thing. They have such great voices, and you hear it at the very end.

I love this band. Found another unheard song of theirs on this rare compilation that I've started listening to lately and love them all over again. I miss music like this.

Yes, they all come from that era of shoegazer rock. I love this type of sound! Very dreamy. I give it a 9. It's cool how the term shoegazer rock came about. (click here)

I am reading a bunch of negative reviviews (below), but the rule-of-thumb here at RP is a 7. Songs below this threshold usually aren't very good and songs at or above 7 are usually very good. I agree with kgish: This song rocks in so very many different ways!

Apparently they think they can sound "lush" by filling the speakers with sound. Unfortunately it is monotone white noise that drowns out whatever music they might be making in the background.

Lush always reminds me of Chapterhouse... probably because I discovered them both at the same time back in the early 90's. Both great bands. I like some of Lush's other stuff better then this song though. Chapterhouse would be a cool add to the RP playlist (Pearl is an amazing song!).

Right now Lush is represented by only three titles on RP. This song is strong argument for more.

Great song, and I remember I had a crush on Miki (the singer) back in the day as well. To quote Weezer: "Goddamn you half-Japanese girls, you do it to me every time" Ahh, sweet memories. ;)

"Shoe gazer" material is music played by floppy-haired indie boys who go in for long guitar droning and mumbled words - called "shoe-gazing" 'cos that's what they do playing live - heads down, no moving, slumped pver their guitars gazing at their shoes. Ride were great exponents of this in the early 90s.
