Another Cure song. I love Robert Smith’s lyrics. They can be whimsical and light one song, and dark and brooding the next. This track has been one of my favourites for a long time, since it was released in 1989. Actually the entire album “Disintegration” is full of great sad and angry songs.
“Love Song” by The Cure:
whenever I’m alone with you you make me feel
like i am home again whenever i’m alone with
you you make me feel like i am whole againwhenever i’m alone with you you make me feel
like i am young again whenever i’m alone with
you you make me feel like i am fun againhowever far away i will always love you however
long i stay i will always love you whatever
words i say i will always love you i will always
love youwhenever i’m alone with you you make me feel
like i am free again whenever i’m alone with
you you make me feel like i am clean againhowever far away i will always love you however
long i stay i will always love you whatever
words i say i will always love you i will always
love you
One of my favourite songs, from my favourite artist. This song means so many things to me, and has been played at least once a week since I first bought it in 1990. It’s angry, it’s sexy, it’s a hate-fuck just to get it out of your system..
Nine Inch Nails “Sin”:
You give me the reason,
You give me control.
I gave you my purity,
And my purity you stole.
Did you think I wouldn’t recognize,
This compromise,
Am I just too stupid to realize?
Stale incense, old sweat, and lies, lies, lies.
It comes down to this!
Your kiss!
Your fist!
And your strain,
It gets under my skin!
Within!
Take in,
The extent of my sin!You give me the anger,
You give me the nerve.
Carry out my sentence,
Will I get what I deserve?
I’m just an effigy to be disgraced,
To be defaced,
Your need for me, has been replaced.
And if I can’t have everything,
Well then just give me a taste.
It comes down to this!
Your kiss!
Your fist!
And your strain,
It gets under my skin!
Within!
Take in,
The extent of my sin!You give me the reason,
You give me control.
I gave you my purity,
And my purity you stole.
Did you think I wouldn’t recognize,
This compromise,
Am I, just too stupid to realize?
Stale incense, old sweat, and lies, lies, lies,
It comes down to this!
Your kiss!
Your fist!
And your strain,
It gets under my skin!
Within!
Take in,
Well my sin,It comes down to this!
Your kiss!
Your fist!
And your strain,
It gets under my skin!
Within!
Take in,
The extent of my sin
This week we have Jimi Hendrix. Quite possibly the single biggest influence on my musical life. I read ” ‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky” on a trip to Southern Illinois for a family reunion, the whole trip I had my walkman on with 1 tape on repeat. The first side was “Are you Experienced” and the second was “Axis Bold as Love”. Reading that book, and hearing the music changed me forever. I cannot say enough, and at the sme time cannot put into words how the music changed me, and how much love I have for it. It’s sad he died at an early age, how much could he have changed music if he had lived on further? Or would he have just dried up and moved on to somethign else? We’ll never know, but at least we have tons of really good music to listen to while we think it over…
“Up from the Skies” from “Axis Bols as Love”:
I just want to talk to you
I wont uh, do you no harm
I just want to know about your different lives
On this is here people farm
I heard some of you got your families
Living in cages tall and cold
And some just stay there and dust away
Past the age of old.
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you.I just wanna know about
The rooms behind your minds
Uh do I see a vacuum there
Or am I going blind ?
Or is it just uh, remains of vibrations
And echoes long ago ?
Uh things like love the world and uh
Uh let your fancy flow
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you.I have lived here before
The days of ice
And of course this is why
Im so concerned
And I come back to find
The stars misplaced
And the smell of a world
That is burned
A smell of a world
That is burned.Yeah well, maybe, hmm…
Maybe its just a… change of climate
Hmm, hmm…
Well I can dig it
I can dig it baby
I just want to see.So where do I purchase my ticket ?
Id just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new mother earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Yeah…Aww, shucks
If my daddy could see me now
Everything, everything, everything, oh everything.
