THE most underrated band ever to come out of Oz. Deserved to be global superstars, but never got the recognition they deserved. Musicianship, vocals and originality off the scale. This and The Unguarded Moment are among my favourite (cult) pop classics of all time

10000%. This song and clip is everything perfection.

Just saw The Church tonight at Gramercy Theatre, a mere 42 years since I first saw them as a 14 year old on their first album tour. What a legend these guys are! Steve is in great form at age 68 and they were presenting their 26th album, The Hypnogogue, an instant masterpiece. But they brought down the house playing Tantalized as their next to last song. 10-minute 3-guitar aggression- absolute trance-like experience. Check their tour dates and go see them - incredible show !

The Blurred Crusade and Heyday. Two of the finest Australian albums ever. Period.

From my absolute favorite Church album. Heyday is magic from start to finish. Saw them and Echo & The Bunnymen at the Aragon in Chicago on April 9, 1986.

Our band was in the same studio as Church when they rehearsed this album. They'd jam on a chord, Steve yelled out the changes. They had heavy duty drawers full of echo and chorus pedals and there were bongs and guitars everywhere.

one of my favourite bands excellent music...I was fortunate enough to have played in a support band and supported a lot of big bands in the 80's.We supported the Church at San miguel at cammeray.I was blown away by their performance.A tantalised experience I can even remember some older local guy getting up on stage and playing the spoons..security please...........

how can this song only have 150000 hits, i have listerned to this song every day for a year in my car going to work,come on on australia this song rocks

Scott, I was there too. I agree. it blew the roof off. It was a great way to finish the show off too

Marty Wilson-Piper such a hot talent, he gave The Church their distinctive sound musically and Steve Kilbey's voice brought it all together, the good old days of eighties Oz rock.

Met him last year. He is now my neighbour and my friend. A band that i will never even see live but being friends with MWP, having all my records signed by him somehow compensates not having seen one of my favourite 80's band.

i love smoking and listening to this album. i was in high school when this came out. it was like MANNA from heaven. their guitar interplay is brilliant (and not highlighted enough in the production) and the lyrics are generally very elliptical and strangely poetic. a good friend saw The Church open for Echo & the Bunnymen...I can only imagine how great THAT was!

THE AUTHENTICS CHURCH. STEVE, MARTY, PETER AND RICHARD. I MISS THEM

101 voluptuous days.i broke the law.😍😍😍

Amazing song of a outstending Group. I love Church. Steve Kilbey a great frontman!!!

An absolute banger. And a brilliant album as well.

How good is the band, way waay waaaayyy better than many people might think.

Way more than "Under the Milky Way ..."

The more i listen to this the stronger the hold... this is one of their "magical" songs though faster and louder than most -- it's everywhere in the song but especially in the vocals -- the layers are amazing

People go on about Johnny Marr being this indie guitar god, but Wilson -Piper and Koppes are a different level. Very underrated.

That's what I love about youtube...get to find stuff I haven't even thought about in years...ah, the high school days...

Still one of the best

The best.

The Church to me were one of those bands you didn't really hear to much about but I liked a lot of their stuff.

still one of the the best songs ever.thank steve

i have been listering to this song every day for nearly a year now .its the best get me going song in the morning

Lots of Sydney allover this clip ... takes me back.

listerned to this song every day for a year driving to work, ive been tantilized;.

Hologram of Baal is a masterpiece! Their last album, "Man Woman Life Death Infinity" is excellent as well.

My goodness they look so young! I realize this is over twenty years ago, but still it is a shocker!

Simply awesome song and video. Try as I might, just never got hair like Richard Ploog. ;-)

This is a great live Church track. The whole place vibrates to it.

Let freedom ring hard and wide.

Am tantalized through & through, and then some... such majestic awesomeness... my love to all of you... xx

I was born when this band was in its prime,but i don't mind. thanks to youtube i can appreciate old songs that r new to me. i stumbled upon this just by chance & i have to admit i am now a fan. awesome guitar & drums,r they still performing does anyone know?

God I've been asleep so long, I've been away Back from software limbo the natives call today I let their promises bind me The seductive logic blind me I embraced a machine, went through the routine I hid from the people who were trying to find me Till the day comes when you realize Otherwise you never care Pandora's box reveals a new surprise Can't wait to see your eyes Now you've been tantalized

MASTERPIECE in capitals.

Great song ,great album ,great fuckin band I have loved this band for thirty one years and have seen them in australia and around the world hundreds of times,very underrated but I love them heaps greetings from manly australia.

If you ever saw the lads play this live way back then and went 'fuck, wow'. check out the version they do with The George Ellis Orchestra at The Opera House concert. I promise you'll go 'fuuuuck woooow'.

All that glittered had me mesmerized Otherwise I would have dared Guess the nature of our enterprise Can't stop to sympathize Now you've been tantalized I turned up in some harsh doomed city on another plane I couldn't believe the room I got, the guests I entertained I felt the dirty streets surround me Let the buzzing swarm confound me I gave money to ghosts, I insulted my hosts I could never get off the stuff that spellbound me

i`m glad i`m not the only one who finds Steve very attractive :-) His voice and lyrics are unique (that`s to say the least)

Me encanta The Church, sobre todo Steve Kilbey, él es el alma del grupo. Son geniales. Lo mejor de los 80 y hasta hoy.

Back in 1985 right now ...

transcends time and space and brings the funk

one of their best clips...love these guys

Long ago now, great tune!

for those that don't know there is more to the church than just under the milky way

ahhh...a very very heavy echo and the bunnymen influence. great!

I'm in a hot tub time machine. I ain't gettin out

Saw them last week in Ann Arbor, MI, after 30 years since I last saw them on the Heyday tour. They played this song and it sounded great, though without MWP.

my favorite church's song

Not only are they GREAT musos (& very easy on the eye), they are still producing great art 30 years on. If you are a SK fan, check out his channel (if you haven't already) & his blog/website of his paintings. Seen Mr Kilbey pop up in the odd short film too. Going to see the Church next Friday......missing the screening of a no. of films I did cinematography on (& my own film) 'cos it's on same night & I refuse to miss seeing one of my fave Aussie legends...Oh well!

Goosebumps every time I listen to this! The greatest album folks!!

This song is super good !!

mmm yes Especially Marty! yummmmmmmmmmy!

Superb!

Kilbys favourite video fm the Church according to his biography.

This is such a great song. I like that San Diego Tantalized live video here on the site as well.

Incredible

And that's why I like Aussie people...

awesome song, great band.

hey, around the 1:35 minute mark richard ploog is wearing the lead guitarist's shirt from the album cover!

Great band!

What a drag such a shortened intro.

Heyday is their BEST album(not that there's a bad one in the bunch)......in spite of the attention Starfish gets

Hence the name "Heyday" :)

saw em several times.....fucken fantastic live..... ah the memories..... HEYDAY!

im privileged to say that the first piece of music and my oldest memory age 3 heyday and starfish ...

Steve and Marty lining up with riders beat combos of same and different kinds!! However all in paisleys gear up for the new upcoming trend into the 80's! Peter's rebellious guitar evens with Richard plugging in drums.

Amazon look like they have this still. The Album is Heyday, one of their very best (up there with Of Skins & Heart and their EPs). You will not regret purchasing this (I have this on CD, cassette !)

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

@10LightYears The band is still around, and still making beautiful dreamy music!

sick msuic. just the best

One of my favourite songs too . Cristella 👍

Excelente tema con una buena intro (aquí apenas se ha oído )

Yes, I wish I were alive back then

Really miss this sound

One of the greatest ecstasy songs of all time or coke or even straight. I also love Roman

saw them live le rox adelaide . loved it,long time ago now good days bad clothes

Love this album!!

@REGIFISHY: You have to turn off commercial radio and rely more on NPR and music sites; you'll discover that the best stuff never makes it to the radio. I'm gonna see these guys perform 3 albums in their entirety in a few nights.

Heyday's my 2nd favourite album of theirs, after their debut.

Great band....just love it

fantastic song

Thanks Bee for sending this to me I haven't seen this in a very long time! I agree with you and PM he is HOT!

Heh. I also used to also dress like the guys from The Church - paisley shirts, straight legs and such. And a lot of LSD, too. That helps to understand The Church, IMO.

I wouldn't say I have everything by the band but I am pretty darned close. This track nearly killed my love for them very early on. I had loved the first three albums. They were like a trilogy to me then this came along. It was different. More loud and raucous, possibly too much for a small town boy like me to take. Thankfully, EMI made a great move releasing Disenchanted and my faith in The Church was restored. Some fans found the band with Heyday. They nearly lost me and, controversially, I wasn't too impressed with much of Starfish either.

Brilliant.

I never knew they had the same drummer as the Bangles?

Delicious, I love it!

the church will be inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame Oct 27th 2010!

Used to have many.. gotta go to tailors now

I was 18

The last 5 post are the lyrics in order. I love The (Fucking) Church.So many brilliant albums from one band, so under-rated.

my song in jjj s hottest ever 100

The Church!!!!!!!!!

This video makes me want to move to australia. where can I get one of those shirts?
