VIRGIN PRUNES : DECLINE AND FALL (1982)

Συνεχίζουμε σε post – punk μονοπάτια, με ένα στοιχειωμένο άκουσμα των ‘80s, κομμάτι από το ιστορικό άλμπουμ – ντεμπούτο των Δουβλινέζων Virgin Prunes, …If I Die, I Die. “Σπουδή” τρόπον τινά πάνω στις πρώτες νότες του φωνητικού θέματος του ‘Station To Station’.
We continue on post-punk paths with one haunted hearing of the ’80s, a track from the historic debut album by Dublin’s
Virgin Prunes, …If I Die, I Die.
A “study” in a way on the opening notes of ‘Station to Station”s vocal theme.


See the children play by
Running try
To touch the sky
When one falls you hear a cry
You’re dead, you’re dead, you must die
Take a dream and fly away, take a dream and fly away she will call
They will wait for you not I, they will wait for you not I
See me crawl
And sometimes I feel so old
I never smile nor do cry
Shadows flicker from above
Seeker save your soul she said
She will fly, she will fly
He will wait far away
A golden key to open the door
Behind which the answer lies
You sinned in dreams
Now awake in deeper, deeper dreams
Take a dream and fly away, take a dream and fly away she will call
They won’t wait for you not I, they will wait for you not I
See me crawl
She will fly, she will fly
Far away, far away
Decline and fall
Never return
Die
Die

      You can say that again. A sonic thriller brilliantly directed and performed!

        And yet I couldn’t turn away from it and stop listening.

          That’s the secret with thrillers. Fear is adrenaline and adrenaline is addiction! 😳😜

    I enjoyed this a lot, thank you!
    It was unknown to me.
    Now I can’t stop hearing The Electric Prunes big one hit.

        That 1 song “I Had too Much to Dream” is in my head when I wake up from nightmares.
