Various Production - Circle Of Sorrow
This is a pretty damn haunting track which really tugs at the heartstrings. The voice is pure emotion, and the mellowness of the track as a whole lowers your defences.
I’ve not been able to find the lyrics to this song anywhere online, so indulge me while I transcribe them here:
Circle of Sorrow, let me come in
Your secret affair, was whispering there
Don’t charge me a fare to go back home
It’s familiar to me, I’ll go it alone
Don’t try to wake me, but leave me to sleep
My will is strong, but my heart is weak
Hide in the shadows, I’ll find you there
Fall from the heavens, I’ll catch you in the air.But YOU, find a home, with me
YOU, find a home, with meHide in the shadows, I’ll find you there,
Fall from the heavens, I’ll find you in the end
Wait by the river, that flows to the sea
Swim in the water, that brought you home to meAnd you, find a home, with me
YOU, find a home, with meCircle of Sorrow, let me come in
Your secret to bear, was whispering there
Don’t charge me any money to go back home
It’s familiar to me, I’ll go it aloneBut you, find a home, with me
I said YOU, find a home, with meWait by the river, that flows to the sea
Swim in the water, that brought you home to me
Hide in the shadows, I’ll find you there
Fall from the heavens, and I’ll catch you in the airOh you, find a home, in me
You, find a home, right here with me

Anne Clark - “Our Darkness” - live @ M’era Luna 2007
Old classic song (1984!!) which never fails to amaze me and fill me with both thoughts and emotions.
Lyrics:
Through these city nightmares you’d walk with me
And we’d talk of it with idealistic assurance
That it wouldn’t tear us apart
We’d keep our heads above the blackened water
But there’s no room for ideals in this mechanical place
And you’re gone now
Through a grimy window that I can’t keep clean
Through billowing smoke that’s swallowed the sun
You’re nowhere to be seen
Do you think our desires still burn
I guess it was desires that tore us apart
There has to be passion
A passion for living, surviving
And that means detachment
Every-body has a weapon to fight you with
To beat you with when you are down
There were too many defence between us
Doubting all the time
Fearinf all the time
Doubting all the time
Fearing all the time
That like these urban nightmares
We’d blacken each other skies
When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there
Of written threats on endless walls
Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls
Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain
It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes
That we left behind
It rains even harder now…

Nightwish - “Sleeping Sun”
Tarja Turunen, the ex-singer of Nightwish in a beautiful, inspiring song. How can any other singer that ever replaces her (currently it’s Annete Olzon) compete with that?
Lyrics:
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night time
to last for a life-time
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you…
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I’d sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet’s play
Until there’s nothing left to say
I wish for this[…]

“ When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.
— Pablo Picasso
De/Vision - “New Drug” (1998)
One my all-time favourites!
Lyrics:
I lost my sight when I got stun
I never bleeded so
Do I slide into vice
Till I’m gone?
You’re like a dive into the wild
Like poems holding me
As gentle as a new born child
At night
Then sorrow breaks
The silent spell
My mind is clearing up
And takes me back
Into my shell
Back to hell
I hope you
Won’t see me through
Like I do
I can’t get
You out of my mind
I see still I’m blind
I hope you
Won’t see me through
Like I do
I can’t get
Me out of this hug
Just be my new drug
