The Jesus and Mary Chain - The Hardest Walk

[JeanMarchenoir]

THE perfect dark pop-noise song. Timeless.

[JohnSmith-nwli]

The PERFECT mix of noisy, fuzzy guitars & catchy Beatles-esque melodies. Psychocandy is such a great album.

[andressawkey]

I never thought that this day would ever come
When your words and your touch just struck me numb
Oh, and it's plain to see that it's dead
The thing swims in blood and it's cold, stony dead

It's so hard not to feel ashamed
Of the loving, living games we play each day

And I'm stuck in a shack down the back of the sea
Oh, and I'm alive and I'm alone inside a sick, sick dream
Oh, is it me, is it me that feels so weak?
I cannot deceive but I find it hard to speak

The hardest walk you could ever take
Is the walk you take from A to B to C

I walk, oh honey, I talk

Don't want you to want me
Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me

And I walk

Words alone cannot describe how good this is.

[Jedd-qrgi]

How can you pick just one? They are all great! Still after all this time! Classic!

[donaldshort]

This is still special. Amazing song. What a fucking beautiful noise,

[ShaeferGriffin-itnx]

I love this album. This song rules, and I love that they included it in Some Kind Of Wonderful.

[robgraham]

Epic song from an epic album by an epic band.

[HermanWaldorf]

the definitive, unmatched, guitar sound. omg, in 2021 I am still speechless.

[ald]

The best song they ever recorded, IMO, and that's saying quite a lot...

[aludraco]

it's so sad so many people don't know of this band

[flinchey]

In my eyes hits after hits they wrote, Upside Down, Just like honey The hardest walk April skies the list goes on

[-grid]

Beautiful noise. I believe this was the inspiration of shoegaze.

[gillesvilliere]

should have millions of views.. a real treat

[wescooley]

This is one of the best songs ever and im a staunch damned fan fucking love the whole lp ❤

[georgeharrison]

sounds like The Beach Boys, if they embraced lots (and lots) of guitar distortion, with some blasts of white noise. Hell yeah!!

[MrBradius]

one of my favourites, I would walk down the isle, or disappear underground to this tune :)

[endorphin]

What a tune! Needs to be heard on the dancefloor at some point.

[herbertrichard]

Best guitar album ever. With full respect to Husker Du.

When I discovered this, I felt I was the first one to discover a goldmine. I was not so alone :)
