“Alison” has always been my favorite shoegaze song. It captures perfectly the feeling of early adulthood and the realization that the intensity of youth is fleeting. It’s the “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” of the 90s.

That's exactly what the writer had felt too. You might be knowing this, but Neil had written this song when he had started seeing someone else after his painful breakup with Rachel.

He says to his girl "your sister's out spinning" and Allison says "she's our there somewhere". Probably the most impactful lyric that she says again in the second Stanza,now when the guy tells her "we are sinking" Allison just says "i guess she's out there somewhere." She's feels to me more like the female lead from Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. Allison feels so complex yet so simple.Just a girl probaly a teen who is lost in all the partying,growing up and also many teens like us who are lost in all the rave and all.I guess not only she but we are there somewhere. Allison feels to me like a song about a guy seeing the beauty in the mess of Allison.He embraces her flaws and loves her as she is and will find her one day,somewhere

Something about this song, evokes a feeling that is truly unique amongst the thousands of songs I've listened to over the years. Honestly, nothing recreates it, it exists in a plane of its own. It's like a mixture of contrasting emotions, but melded together perfectly.

The kind of sound that washes over you with cascading emotion. We all have an Alison tale to tell: pining away for someone not quite realized or mourning something that ends all too soon. For Neil Halstead it was really about recovering from Rachel Goswell, his band mate, lover, and muse. The fact that Slowdive survived and thrived speaks about their singularity as human beings in group formation...and we’re all the better for it. They, along with MBV, Cocteau Twins, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, and Lush, produced a veritable soundtrack to our lives. We didn’t know it at the time but we were living at the end of something-we thought it was the beginning. I fell madly in love in this era-the madness has dissipated but the love remains. I’m just feeling a little lost.

What you say is true, we all do have an Alison story to tell. In my case, an Allyson story. I discovered this song while she and I were still dating, and every word Neil spoke resonated with me on a profound level. (It was a terrible relationship. The lyrics to the song played out practically verbatim in real life over the span of about two years.) I never shared this song with her. I'm kinda glad I didn't. Now I can reminisce about all ye good times without it hurting much, if at all. Nothing but a simple viewing, just remembering everything as it happened. Needless to say, this has sorta become her theme song in my head. I need therapy.

"Alison" makes me feel very nostalgic -- there was a girl I dated back in 2012 named Allison, her birthday (June 1) is the release date of this album and I shared this song with her back then, the line "your messed up life still thrills me" fit her, I was attracted to her but she was a bit crazy and drove me insane. The last time I was with her was her birthday (June 1, 2013) 10 years ago. When I stopped seeing her, I would still think of her sometimes, it was sad to hear she tragically died in a car accident in 2022 at the young age of 34.

As a teenager I remember never having any time for Slowdive or any of the Scene that Celebrates itself eulogised in the English media. Took me about a quarter of a century to realise the timelessness of this band and shoegaze in general. This song both musically and lyrically is so hauntingly stunning and beautiful.

I know it's a hatefully obvious cliché, but they've aged like a perfect vintage wine. Served at the time, it had no impact, but hear them 30 years later and during a terrible time for Planet Earth, then it takes a whole new significance. The world wasn't ready for their sound but can appreciate them in 2021

Heh, I remember the first time I saw this. The night before I had gone to a party almost exactly like the one in this video, trying to get through to a girl who also looked suspiciously like one of the girls here. And the lyrics were also all too recognizable. It was like some sort of Truman-show moment. Funny but beautiful in a way I guess, haha.

When I see Neil and Rachel together I can feel love and I never felt anything similar about “a couple”. It’s a little bit strange, but I think that Slowdive’s opus (first three albums) is reflecting energy and love between two of them. I’m proud that I was witnessing this amazing process in early nineties. They give me hope that you can recover from a breakup even if it takes twenty years... - especially if you know how to melt that beautiful burden into music

Damn right. The 80s and the 90s will probably be the last of the really good times in our future. Technology has done a good job of destroying any life people used to have and now the only news is the media creating a divided amongst the people. There's literally almost no interaction that's healthy anymore between people whereas the 80's and 90's that's all it was about was happy interaction. I wish I would have understood that then being someone who was born in 80. I took it for granted.

This song ( especially)and the entire album as well gives me chills maaaany years since I was first introduced to them via my EX. The anchor of their sound and the emotions of falling deeply in love are anchored in my soul so damn deep. The feeling never faded no matter how many times I listened to their songs. Such a sublime joy every time. ❤

This sound perfectly resembles the feeling you get when you remember blurry memories of better days during your youth where time, stress or worries were never an issue and all that mattered was your friends and having fun. Days long gone.

this song showed in my youtube homepage yesterday. i've always heard of this band and especially this album and i've always been really interested in it but never actually listened to anything. it was probably around 3 am and i was falling asleep. i opened this video. and i felt like i was ascending to heaven. it's just a beautiful song. it drove me to tears. i instantly felt an increbible emotional connection with this. and also, rachel goswell looks a lot like a girl that i'm falling in love with. it's the first time in my life where i actually have to thank youtube for showing me something great. god i already love this song

This is amazing right? This song belongs to a genre called "shoegaze". You should check bands from that genre. My Bloody Valentine - "Sometimes", Airiel - "In Yr Room" and Ride - "vapour trail" are good examples.

This song keeps haunting my mind, I'm a prog rock guy and in a band and at practices lately I find myself playing this in the background. The song has such a deep almost europhoric feeling to me, coincidentally I'm also falling for my bass player (who is a girl) so it adds to the emotional deepness I get from this small masterpiece. So yeah, that's my story right now :)

I told her a few weeks after I posted that, but she didn't like me, sad at the time but that's so past me now, but it was my cake for mid 2015. That band broke up a month later due to people being assholes. But my happy ending is that I've formed a new band in the present!

+John Appleseed Your story sounds like it also happened to Neil & Rachel in Slowdive; they're both in love, suddenly shit happens, Rachel breaks it off with Neil, Neil feels like crap, wrote a song called Dagger etc. After everything cools down, Neil & Rachel decides to be just friends and keep the relationship professional. From Slowdive to Mojave and back to Slowdive, both Neil & Rachel still manage to maintain their "friendship" and still churn out the best songs in history. Just saying.

Zedfinite I wish it turned out like that!, but none of the people from that band (that was last year) are in contact anymore. I won't get into details because that's well in the past now, but people outside the band started being manipulative and deceptive, causing the band to turn against eachother. On the bright side, I formed a new band at the start of the year and have been through many new positive experiences in the year so far!

Only 2m of visits, but you know, i don't want this reach 100m. This is the true spirit of alternative rock, original underground and experimental soul of all the alternative genres. In the 90' the grunge was sold as "alternative", but it was only another mainstream merch. Shoegaze was more for music than grunge or britpop. Creative, inventive and expermental.
