    I'm getting back into the Cult after years away and can't believe that I had forgotten just how brilliant they are. In fact, the more I re-listen to their back catalogue I can hear similarities with many more modern artists. Brilliant.. and this is one of the best.
  • @civilengsi
    Ian has such a great voice. Very underrated.
  • @kilts4u2
    Is there a better guitarist than Billy Duffy around? The man can make a guitar sing like few others. Simply brilliant.

    FYI: This song is about a woman named Edith Minturn Sedgewick or "Edie" who was a muse and then exploited by Andy Warhol ("Warhol's Darling Queen") in the 1960's. "Ciao" is a reference to a movie she made called "Ciao Manhattan". She had a horrible childhood even coming from such a rich (historical & financial) family, and had a serious problem with drugs and mental illness. She was dead at 27 years old in 1971...

    That first line that Ian rings out.. "You said you were a youthquaker, Edie..." always gives me chills. Sounds so haunting
  • @silvanadonadoni127
    Pezzo bellissimo. Ian Astbury uno dei front men più carismatici mai visti nei miei 68 anni di vita. Voce sempre stupenda.
  • @badluckhoppy
    And in reality, she WAS referred to as a "Youthquaker" at the factory..... I've always had a monster crush of Edie Sedgwick and the Cult (and Death Cult... and Southern Death Cult) were always one of my favourite bands, so this song strikes quite a chord with me, also. Though for me it's the last line. "Why did you kiss the world goodbye? Ciao, baby..... Don't you know paradise takes time?" Damn. All I can say is....... "Damn."

    What a bass line sustaining all the voices around. Big fan of you. Very glad to saw you in Brasília.
