Descent

There is no path above
I must descend
Descend to meet my love
To draw death in
The crown of dread
Hangs 'round my head
Where all things wither
I am reborn.
You can't have me your way
All the time
You can't have me your way
All the time
She wants to see me smile
To make Earth green
I'll bare my teeth
While you wait for spring
His claw's in my ankle
Her tears are snow
My cheeks are rose
I still glow.
You can't have me your way
All the time
You can't have me your way
All the time

Floating through this darkness
All alone
Love is gone in darkness
Cold as a stone
Looking through the shadows you have known
Love’s gone, bare as a bone.
Trying to hide the memory face
You seem to have vanished without a trace
But in this darkness
This empty space
I float alone.
Now that night is falling
You have gone
Bad dreams fall through dark trees
Love’s gone wrong
Clouds of sadness raining all night long
Love’s gone
The end of our song

Listen closely
Speak softly
Sun is rising
And you’re hiding
They will find you
Wherever you are
Follow the water
Back to the start
They will find you
Wherever you are
Please take care and
Protect your heart
Listen closely
Speak softly
Struck by lightning
Roses climbing
They will find you
Wherever you are
Follow the water
Back to the start
They will find you
Wherever you are
Please take care and
Protect your heart
Listen closely
Speak softly
Turn to face the sun
Show me your true name
They will find you
Wherever you are
Follow the water
Back to the start
They will find you
Wherever you are
Please take care and
Protect your heart

All the Catholic kids
Well, they will drop out
And their moms will sit
And shake their heads
Predestination blues
I’m dying without you
Got nothing to do
Got nothing to look forward to
Heavy is your heart
Because you couldn’t be anything
There’s no good place to start
There is only the end
Can’t you see
Can’t pay the rent with empathy
Got nothing left
‘Cept for this hole in my head
Predestination blues
I’m dying without you
Got nothing to do
Got nowhere to look forward to
Heavy is your heart
Because you couldn’t be anything
There’s no good place to start
There is only the end
And the Catholic kids
Well they all dropped out
And their moms still sit
And shake their heads
Predestination blues
I’m dying with you
Got nothing to do
Got nowhere to look forward to

Silver Things

I only see you
In the brightest light
You’re always in the spotlight
I only see you
In the corner of my eye
Passing by
It’s good enough for me
It has to be
You are glitter
I am rust
There’s nothing else between us
I’ll give you silver things
Sweet things
Time is elastic
Bruises in a secret place
Apart from blood and space
Your words so soft
Echo between days
Or seconds falling sideways
It’s good enough for me
It has to be
You are glitter
I am rust
There’s nothing else between us
I’ll give you silver things
Sweet things
When I see you
I cannot drink your wine
But you’ll drink mine
Distant cousin, lost love
I couldn’t pay the cost
It’s good enough for me
It has to be
You are glitter
I am rust
There’s nothing else between us
I’ll give you silver things
Sweet things

I hear you cry
The world feels small
We aren’t so far
After all
I hear you say
You understand
Sons of Jupiter
Only expand
Perfect silence:
A strange gift
I know you never
Asked for it
New love found
In strange weather
Now we’re all alone
Together
I won’t make plans
I don’t know when
But my heart knows
We’ll meet again
I hear you say
You understand
Sons of jupiter
Only expand
I hear you cry
The world’s so small
Out of reach
The days crawl
We weren’t so far
After all

The Shadow

Each night I’m braided
Into the moon’s hair
Descend from silver threads
And float anywhere
Is love ever wasted?
I thought I knew.
I thought you needed me
You thought we were through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
You wouldn’t know the truth
If it could kiss you
When I am dreaming
You disappear
I’m never certain
If you’re really there
The mirror shattered
Cursing itself
I looked away
Protected myself
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
You wouldn’t know the truth
If it could kiss you
Each day I rise
Glittering gold
My shadow’s calling back
All that you stole
My love wasn’t wasted
Your heart wasn’t mine
My love wasn’t wasted
But you wasted my mind
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
You wouldn’t know the truth
If it could kiss you

Lighter than water
Softer than blood
Put on a new face
To draw in love
Lighter than water
Softer than blood
Put on a new face
To draw in love
My eyes are new
My veins still burn
Desire leave me
Past return
Who would know me
In this body?
Who would know me
In these dreams?
In these dreams,
and in this body,
Who would know me?
Who would know me?
My eyes are new
My veins still burn
Desire leave me
Past return

everything is alive
by Slowdive
supported by 8 fans who also own “Buried in Roses”
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 7 fans who also own “Buried in Roses”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Outnumbered

3rd listen: It took me a while to realize it but, as the youngsters say, this slaps! 1st, 2nd listen: too long ago.
go to album
One-man project Vlimmer exists in the borderlands between post-punk and industrial/EBM, creating danceable darkness.
go to album
The striking synth/goth songs on the latest from Vlimmer feel 50 stories tall, with gigantic walls of sound and bleak, ominous vocals.
go to album
The new album from VOWWS is driving and merciless, pairing industrial rhythms with doomy, down-stroke guitar chords.

Less obviously shoegazey than the debut, but has a really abrasive industrial or post punk feel which contrasts well with the vocals. Reminds me of Curve or maybe early Cocteaus. Lovely stuff
