My favorite song of the '80s.

Peter Murphy was the lead singer of Bauhaus... and they... had the Gothic Classic Anthem of All Time: "Bela Lugosi's Dead." It was their homage to the very strange Hungarian actor who was the first to play Dracula and did so many times; his Dracula persona started to take over more of his real life... he was buried in his Dracula costume! Whether you like it or not (Jay maybe), it is a must must must to get an understanding of the 80s post-punk, alternative and Gothic movements. It is dark, mysterious, creepy and beautiful.

Bela Lugosi is Dead live at RIverside to see how Daniel Ash creates those special effects so unique to Bauhaus and their other extremely creative, experimental bands Love and Rockets (All in my Mind, Mirror People, Kundalini Express, Motorcycle...) and Tones on Tail (Go!, There's only One, Burning Skies..._ Go! was a club hit along with New Order's Blue Monday, Depeche Mode, The Cure... in the 80's and well into the 90's.

For Bauhaus, I'd start with the more accessible She's in Parties, and the banger Sanity Assassin. Cuts you Up is about finding your path in life through all of its twists and turns. I find you in the morning, after dreams of distant signs. You pour yourself over me, like the sun through the blinds. Murphy has some of the most poetic lyircs. I'd follow up with Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem and A Strange Kind of Love. He was often compared to Bowie (appeared in one his moves as well), and Murphy's band Bauhaus pioneer Post-Punk along with Gang of Four, The Cure and Joy Division/New Order in the late 70's.

The other pioneering POST-PUNK band besides BAUHAUS and THE CURE to consider are GANG OF FOUR (formed in '76: I Love a Man in a Uniform live at Old Grey Whistle Test, as BBC show, What We All Want (studio version is a banger), Damaged Goods), and JOY DIVISION but they may be too dark and gloomy at this stage, so I'd suggerst continuing with more of NEW ORDER for a while (Joy Division after the death of singer Ian Curtis). .

Hauntingly memorable ❤

Another terrific song from the late 80's. I immediately loved this song when it came out.

Outstanding pick and an amazing reaction!!! Before his solo career Murphy had been the lead singer of the group Bauhaus. Three other former Bauhaus members - David J, Kevin Haskins (David J’s brother), and Daniel Ash - went on to form the group Love and Rockets, which is still one of my favorite groups to this day! Please, please, please, check out Love and Rockets’ songs “No New Tale to Tell” as well as their insane cover of “Ball of Confusion.” Both are absolute bangers!!!

As others here are saying, Murphy is best known as lead singer of the band Bauhaus, kind of the seminal Goth band, whose signature song was "Bela Lugosi's Dead" from 1979. This 1990 solo effort from Murphy was actually a big radio hit, even in the US. And yeah, early Cure has a similar atmospheric sound, as does a lot of Echo and the Bunnymen, the Chameleons, early Cocteau Twins, and even The Decemberists' kind of eighties-revival 2018 song "Severed." The David Bowie look and sound that Jordan noted is especially striking when you compare this song to Bowie's avant-garde late seventies/early eighties stuff like "Ashes to Ashes." I think both of you would probably also enjoy eighties Goth-ish band the Sisters of Mercy and their 1983 song "The Temple of Love."

Just the fact that you mentioned the Cocteau Twins gets you a like from me!

One of my favorites. Peter Murphy has many great songs to explore, including Strange Kind of Love, All Night Long, Blind Sublime, The Sweetest Drop and Cascade.

Even though I am mostly a metal head, this is in my top 100 songs of all-time. So unique, beautiful and addictive. When I listen to this album I always listen to this song several times

I can't even begin to explain how much Peter's music (solo or with Bauhaus) has affected me. As a goth teenager in the eighties he was my main inspiration (along with Andrew from Sisters Of Mercy) both musically as well as in the way I presented myself.

Love this song!

Every day so far in April have been insane coincidences for me and here is another one! Last night I was literally scrolling Peter Murphy, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy videos to teach someone who thought goth was created by Marilyn Manson. My first thought was I'd LOVE to see Amber and Jay react to "Cuts You Up" but they'll never get around to it. Seeing this, I had to do a double take! I saw Peter Murphy live twice and he was stellar, and then I saw Bauhaus at Coachella (two things I never thought possible) and they absolutely stole the show from an unbelievable lineup--NIN, Coldplay, Weezer, etc. etc. etc. Fantastic to see you guys unearth Peter Murphy now, just as you have Echo & the Bunnymen recently.

Oooo! Exciting and surprising! This album "Deep," was on constant rotation in my life for a long time. On my phone still. Here we go! :)

Great choice. He is legendary. You should also check out "I'll fall with your knife."

This is one of the greatest alternative songs of all time. It gets played alternative and 80s clubs even today

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you up!!! I have been begging music reactors to listen to Peter Murphy because I love his music so much. I remember he was indie before indie music. I had ‘Love Hysteria’ and ‘Deep’ when I was in college and listened to him throughout the 90’s (My twenties) I appreciate you listening to the goth Godfather. I love Indigo Eyes, Crystal Wrists, Seven Veils, So Close, so many songs. Special place in my heart for this artist.

I'm late to the comments but that lyric was what I was going to comment on. Alphaville's Big In Japan starts with some fabulous lyrics also.

Heck yeah! I note that the line “look for what seems out of place” is interesting. I’ve found that to be the key to noticing that you’re in a dream WHILE you are dreaming. If you can do that- if you can realize you are dreaming - without waking up - then you can fly in your dream. The rules of real life don’t apply. It’s called lucid dreaming and it takes mental effort to get there. But it can be done.

Thank you for spotlighting Peter Murphy. I was one of the kids in the 80s who would dance to Bela Lugosi's Dead at The City nightclub in Portland - the vibes! He's a phenomenal artist and so worthy of high praise. "Strange Kind of Love" is a banger as well. Thanks again - it brings me back to happy times with no responsibilities. :)

Peter Murphy is definitely influenced by David Bowie he even does the Bowie moves on stage and his previous band bauhaus cover of ziggy stardust which you should definitely check out.they were big here in the uk in my era of the early 80s.

Peter Murphy once said that this song is about the pain of growing up spiritually. Basically, it describes a spiritual journey. Nevertheless, his voice is so powerfull and you guys pin-point very well when comparing his style to David Bowie's. By the way, you can check a wonderful movie from 1983 called "The hunger". David Bowie is in it and the soundtrack brings Peter Murphy's voice when he was the lead singer from a band called Bauhaus. Thanks..😊

I'm here on behalf of MuSiK by Jeremy and Jillian to say "You have been Warned". The world is reacting to The Warning ⚠️. 3 sisters from Mexico putting the Rock back in rock and roll.

I love this song, but never made the connection before that he sounds a lot like the lead singer for "Toad the Wet Sprocket" (band name taken from a Monty Python skit), Glen Phillips. Kind of a nasal boyish baritone. Love both their voices. Check out some Toad sometime. Very good 90's band, mostly known for their soft rock ballads: 'Walk on the Ocean', 'All I Want', 'Something's Always Wrong', and "Falldown'. Thanks for listening to Peter and sharing! Peace from SF

Omg, I loooove and adore Peter Murphy! You have *no* idea how huge this song was on college/alternative radio when it came out in '89. Peter Murphy was already an alt legend as one of the founders (along with Daniel Ash) of Bauhaus, a band that's often credited as being the first goth band. J is spot on with the David Bowie comparison as Peter is heavily influenced by Bowie. Not a criticism at all, just a fact. What a great hero to emulate, right? Peter, whose hair was normally dyed black, is also known for his high, sharp cheekbones. Those 'bones could cut glass! 😄 Love him. Glad you guys enjoyed one of my most favorite songs. 🕊

Fantastic! Peter is one of the voices I grew up with, and this song was a superb step for him.

I can’t believe you played this! So obscure! It was the soundtrack for my 14th year. Man…takes me back!

Peter Murphy was (is, they still perform occasionally) the lead singer of Bauhaus, as well as a prolific solo artist. I think this is from the album "Deep"? He's done some really interesting work solo - the album "Love Hysteria" is great, as is the eastern-influenced "Dust". He was also part of the deeply odd but fantastic Dali's Car with Mick Karn of the group Japan. Other songs to check out - Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead" (the live version from "Press The Eject And Give Me The Tape"), probably the ultimate goth rock anthem, Bauhaus "She's In Parties", another classic, the Bauhaus cover of Ziggy Stardust (much heavier than the Bowie version), Dali's Car "Dali's Car", (obscure but so inventive and strange), and solo work like "Dragnet Drag", "Indigo Eyes", "My Last Two Weeks", "Blind Sublime" or "Fake Sparkle or Golden Dust?"

Really loved that definitely going on my play list .😊❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Peter Murphy is incredible. Dark/goth sounds. He formed the band Bauhaus, which is an amazing band that really brought Goth music into the forefront to America. It was a bigger and more appreciated style of music in Britain but it took time to take foot in the U.S. MTV helped to give them visuals and gain popularity, along with Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Damned and the Cure. But what I always loved about Bauhaus and Peter Murphy is his voice. That deep voice with so much angst and dread cuts you up (wink).

Outstanding. Peter Murphy was originally the vocalist for one of the first (some say THE first) UK goth bands in the late 70s/ early 80's, Bauhaus. Their songs may be a bit too dark, raw and experimental for reactions (although they did have some fun, poppy songs buried in all the creepy, moody soundscapes, ie. "Kick In The Eye", "Spirit", "She's In Parties", "Lagartija Nick", "The Sanity Assassin", etc.). When they split up, the other 3 members of the group- guitarist Daniel Ash, and brothers David J (bass) and Kevins Haskins (drums) became Love and Rockets. Murphy released a couple solo albums (this is from his 3rd album, 1990's "Deep")- this was his first song to get a lot of airplay in the US (at least on stations that leaned toward the alternative genre). I actuallysaw him on this tour - got a t-shirt from it in a box somewhere (although there's no way it would fit me know- well, maybe as a headband). And Jay is right- Murphy was a definite Bowie fan- in fact, a good next reaction for him might be Bauhaus' 1982 cover of Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust".

All Night Long is another Peter Murphy song you need to check out.

Beautiful song and great reaction.

I was 19 years old when that song and video came out. I believe i have the CD single in my archives, and the video i recorded on a VHS tape multiple times. I call that style of music melodic Gothic rock. For myself, Murphy's vocal style is a Baritone counterpart to the Pet Shop Boy's Neil Tennant's tenor voice. He is also in a band called Bauhaus. They are Goth music, culture and fandom icons. Cuts You Up is pure nostalgia to me now. Beautiful. Thanks for this one!

Strange Kind of Love is another good Peter Murphy song...

This guy... he means so much to me, and this album... time and place... music has a way. So many folks know of Bauhaus by name only, and even fewer of Peter's decision to go solo and pop. He brought a tone to pop music that it desperately needed. Hard to believe this was 1988. He has several tracks (Indigo Eyes, Scarlet Thing..) that are worth exploring for folks who are interested.
