I am waiting for the train...Are you waiting to ? ...Can we both travel together ? ...I don't like traveling by myself...Nice to meet you ! Let's Go.......
Great song, enormously emotionally sincere, deep, above all so inconsolably touching. Again & again I sink into that mystical spirit, speechless ambient created by Andrew’s infinite soul . Such an awesome humane vision. True sorrow vibes. Forever in my heart ♥️🌹♾✨💫
When days has no begining...!! I adore winter, the father of the dark rock.. Now i listening this jewel and enjoy a beer, from Uruguay Forever and ever,till death do as part!!
It's the best album they've ever made. It's sad that Hussey and Eldritch fell out over unpaid wages. The riff is so strong. I'm even trying to get Austin at AlternativeGuitars to cover this one. He did an excellent take on Mourning Sun by FOTN. If only I had a time machine, I'd go back to this era and watch it all live again!
When it's passing strange And I'm waiting for the train Caught up on this line again And it's passing slowly Killing time but it's better Than living in what will come And I've still got some Of your letters with me And I thought sometimes Or I read too much and I think you know Let's drink to the dead lying under the water And the cost of the blood on the driven snow And the lipstick on my cigarettes Frost upon the window pane Nine while nine And I'm waiting for the train She said, "Do you remember a time when angels? Do you remember a time when fear In the days when I was stronger In the days when you were here" She said, "When days had no beginning While days had no end when shadows grew no longer I knew no other friend but you were wild" You were wild Frost upon these cigarettes Lipstick on the window pane And I've lost all sense of the world outside But I can't forget so I call your name And I'm looking for a life for me And I'm looking for a life for you And I'm talking to myself again And it's so damn cold it's just not true And I'm walking through the rain Trying to hold on waiting for the train And I'm only looking for what you want But it's lonely here and I think you knew And I'm, and I'm waiting And I wait in vain Nine while nine And I'm waiting for the train And I'm waiting And I wait in vain Nine while nine And I'm waiting for the train And I'm waiting And I wait in vain Nine while nine I'm waiting for the train
ive always thought of this song as he's missing a deceased lover so much he's trying to refuse believing she's dead and going to the train station to meet her. he's also going crazy, "frost upon my cigarettes, lipstick on the window pane", and he waits in vain because she's dead, its SOOOOOO sad
*Secrecy and the Truth* "A North Star" To understand the truth of the world one must understand first that the world is based on secrecy, that all secrecy has modes of communication, and that all secrecy is either short-term or long-term. There are three arenas in which secrecy can lie. They are in 1. Politics, in 2. Religion, and in 3. Science, Engineering, and Mathematics and sometimes these areas are intertwined. Also, one must understand there are only two major modes of communication being books and electronics, and that in both there is a shared irony of those who can understand the secrecy.

I understand a little better now why people made fun of us. But funniest shit. I am considerably older and I dress the same but with a different outlook.
*The Friends* A social life ends up in brawls, a lack of scholarship, jail time, drug dementia, STDs requires reservoirs of money, hospital time, spur of the moment calls and visits, a lack of job success, a lack of skills in general, uncomfortable sitting around time, and sometimes even death or major criminal activity. Is it worth it?
*The Lidded Eye* "The Awful Truth About Success" "I'm melting!" -The Wicked Witch of the West There are no friends in success and don't expect any respect. If you want the ambrosia you must stand your ground for it and it consists of carrion parts. It is typical of people to want the good things in life to be attributable to only those they find to be friends. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case and most quality lifestyles, historical credits, and things require extreme battles and perseverance and not handshakes and friendships. Success is really an evil place and most cannot even crack its egg open to see it. It is filled with danger and potential competition and threats. It is naive of people and the more naive people are, the easier the ambrosia goes down. So go back to loyalty and maybe someday you'll find the courage because conquering the books and standing in power are way too extreme for most. Only the gods transcend to the spiritual realm and it is here that they whisper to your mind waiting for you to slip so they can destroy you. One may begin to name them in fits of onomatopoeia or extrapolate them and sort them out and plan their great escape through their death in an attempt to communicate power and to become reborn again. -Merkwad the Scribe

*Are Goth Musicians the Ancient Gods Reincarnated?* 'Family of the Gods" Why is the Goth formula so elusive? Before the time of Jesus there existed a heyday of the written word in which many discoveries were made. It was common for those who were connected to the sacred paper to be dubbed as gods and made immortal from the ranks of men. It is believed that Jesus (or rather the writings of St. Paul) was one of these and these writings were made as a sacrifice in order to hide their sacred determinations. The ancient gods loved music and also their proofs and truths of the world. Before the heyday of the written word were many powerful druids who did not believe in paper but passed their sacred teachings through word-of-mouth. Did the ancient gods discover a proof of reincarnation and hide it from the public in order to return again and again amongst their circles. It was generally through Thoth that one became a scribe in Egypt. If one understands the irony of the Goth music at the level of the gods, they can see why it is a distinct possibility that these are them. A unique way to check one's stature of reincarnation is in the automatic writing of a person's teenage years. It is here before the development of the pineal gland where one may judge who they are dealing with. After forty generations or so their ways would become automatic and second-nature. If this is true then modern musicians are dealing with more than Orpheus to compete.
*The Awful Truth about Pseudonyms* I summon thee! Fame. I can't imagine why anybody would seek it on purpose. It begins with this moment of insecurity and then the next thing you know your life is a show-off game that never ends and a public confessional. People scrutinize your every word and action. You become like a public toilet. You never rest. I don't need death threats in the mail or the glorification of my insecurity during a public confessional. Grab a pseudonym and cover yourselves up! I can't imagine the curse of Jesus or how many people summon the Devil every day. Schizophrenia. -Aldec

@@f.g.5967 Never voted Tory, never will! In fact, if I ever say I have, its code for 'I've been kidnapped!' LOL
I do. Once in '84 in Birmingham.
Stands the test of time, a great song by one of the best and underrated song writers of the period
NOT underrated.
What an awesome LP it was, and still is.
1985 -> 2024, that's 39 years x365 days, so roughly 14200 days. So I may have listened this 5 000 times!
This beautiful song, in particular, tells how painful it's to leave each other ,
especially when the story was intense.
This song marks the end of their story, the breakup of Andrew and Claire ,
Claire Shearsby, famous DJ of Leeds in the 80s, she also participated a lot in Sisters of Mercy creation , often present in the early years to manage sound and lights.

Music by Gary Marx. Really his masterpiece!
That is excellent if live live ❤️
It’s so damn cold it’s just not true..after all these years I loved it more and more.
Krai, a montagem e muito bom.

For the train...
If I could pick only one song out of them all ☆
Pure poetry.
When it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time but it's better
Than living in what will come
And I've still got some
Of your letters with me
And I thought sometimes
Or I read too much and I think you know
Let's drink to the dead lying under the water
And the cost of the blood on the driven snow
And the lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine
And I'm waiting for the train
She said, "Do you remember a time when angels?
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here"
She said, "When days had no beginning
While days had no end when shadows grew no longer
I knew no other friend but you were wild"
You were wild
Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane
And I've lost all sense of the world outside
But I can't forget so I call your name
And I'm looking for a life for me
And I'm looking for a life for you
And I'm talking to myself again
And it's so damn cold it's just not true
And I'm walking through the rain
Trying to hold on waiting for the train
And I'm only looking for what you want
But it's lonely here and I think you knew
And I'm, and I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine
And I'm waiting for the train
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine
And I'm waiting for the train
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine
I'm waiting for the train
Geniální
thanks a lot pascal
