My Bloody Valentine - The Things I Miss

Ecstasy (1987)

[Risviltsov]

This is probably my favorite or second favorite track on the album, up there with "(Please) Lose Yourself in Me". Extremely twee. Sweeter than sucralose and more bitter than pure cocoa.

[TygonBC]

Probably my favourite track from Ecstasy. The production with its jangling chains sounds reminds me of early Motown and Spector.

Very Jesus and Mary Chain Psychocandy inspired, especially with the fuzz and vocals

[Samurai-ssqs]

Ride the waves goodbye
Walk the silver sand
Come with me, walk with me
To another land

We could never be
Barely cannot see
Take my hand, I'll bring you there
A place we've never seen

But the touch of your kiss
(Will) leaves me in a mess
The things I miss

Now the stars will shine
Taste your melting smile
Floating down into my arms
Your lips are touching mine

Stars will comb your hair
We will always be
Together there forever more
Away from misery

But the touch of your hand
Will make me understand
The things I miss
Or the touch of your kiss
Leaves me in a mess
The things I miss
Or the touch of your hand
Will make me understand
The things I miss

Jesus and Mary Chain inspiration is very evident here if you told me Jim was vocals here I'd believe you

[shoegazerrrr]

[lucioandriulo]

Ok this is inspired by JAMC, I’m sure they’d never argue with that…but just a year later or so they became something else
