The band’s key member is guitarist/singer/composer Kevin Shields, a reclusive perfectionist and radically inventive guitarist/engineer. The band’s other original member is drummer/studio maven Colm Ó Cíosóig; during their heyday MBV also included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe. Their band shares its name with a low-budget Canadian slasher film.
MBV influences include The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, late-1970s Wire, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and independent artists such as The Pastels. Kevin Shields has also named The Beach Boys and The Ramones as a personal influence.
After leaving Creation Records in 1992 and signing with Island Records, the band fell into a creative black hole. Rumors spread among their fans of albums being recorded and then shelved. Debbie Googe left the band to form Snowpony; she had not played bass on their recordings since You Made Me Realise. Colm Ó Cíosóig eventually left and formed a band with Hope Sandoval, formerly of Mazzy Star, called Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Kevin Shields sporadically collaborated with other artists, most notably Experimental Audio Research, Curve, and Primal Scream. He revealed in a fall 2003 National Public Radio interview that Island Records quit financing his My Bloody Valentine endeavors after he spent half a million pounds of their money.
As of 2006, many rumors mentioned the possible reformation of MBV for a new studio album, but none of these were true. On November 15 2007, My Bloody Valentine announced three upcoming live gigs in the UK for 2008. On June 13 and 14, the band played in public for the first time in thirteen years, offering a pair of "Live Rehearsal" presentations at the ICA in London and officially starting their series of comeback performances. The band went on to play a slew of festivals in Summer and Fall of 2008. Following their appearance at the 2008 All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the New York Times reported that Shields was planning to complete the unfinished album.
On 2 February 2013 they self-released the self-titled album m b v as a download with both vinyl and CD copies shipping on 22nd Feb 2013. The Huffington Post reported that it caused such a public stir that the official MBV website crashed when fans attempted to access the site to purchase a copy.
Soon
my bloody valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't fear
I want to
Love you
Yeah (doll of pain)
I let you get to me
Yeah yeah
Don't be
Afraid of me
Soon
That (I'll harm you)
Your eyes are blue
Blue jewels
Yeah yeah
Come back
Have faith
Someone like you
Can find the reason
Of what I did to you
Yeah yeah
Wake up
Don't fear
I want to
Love you
Yeah (doll of pain)
I let you get to me
Yeah yeah
The lyrics to My Bloody Valentine's song Soon seem to be from the perspective of someone who has hurt a person they love, and is now begging for them to come back. The opening lines "Wake up, don't fear, I want to love you" suggest that the person they love is avoiding them, possibly because of something they did. The repetition of "doll of pain" could be interpreted as the person admitting to causing the other person pain, and feeling like they are bringing it upon themselves by allowing them to get close.
The second verse continues the plea for the person to come back, with lines like "don't be afraid of me" and "someone like you can find the reason of what I did to you". This suggests that the person is aware that they have done something wrong, but they don't know what it is or how to make it right.
The chorus repeats the same lines as the opening, emphasizing the desire for the person to come back and the pain of pushing them away. The final lines "Yeah yeah" almost sound like a desperate plea, as if the person is begging for forgiveness and a chance to make things right.
Overall, the lyrics to Soon are quite ambiguous, leaving a lot of room for interpretation. However, it seems clear that the song is about love, pain, and regret, and the complex feelings that can arise when a relationship goes wrong.

Yesterday
@rodrigoescobar2478
Many years ago, I went to an Urban Outfitters and while window shopping extremely overpriced clothes, I heard this hypnotizing sound. I couldnt figure out if it was, a guitar, a synth or a voice sample. Then I heard this sort of suuuuper reverby wet voice almost incomprehensible, jump on the song. I wish I could have afforded a phone with Shazam at that time, but instead I had to swallow my "coolness" and ask one of the workers there if she knew what was the song playing in the backround. She replied "Oh, I think it's My Bloody Valentine" That night I listened to every single record of theirs I could find on the internet. It changed my life.
By the way the song I heard that day was "I Only Said"
@Miumiubambi
