Before Portishead, Feist, Charlotte Gainsbourg and any of those chicks who sing with Air (except Francoise Hardy) there was Anna Domino. In 1989 Anna's "Colouring In The Edge & The Outline" EP came with a sticker on it marketing her as Nico meets Pegg Lee. Not to mention those cheek bones! I interviewed her about 10 years ago for BUST and she sent me Chritmas cards for many years after that. What a great artist and person.
Obsessed with this song lately. Funnily enough, I used to be emotionally unstable (I have bipolar) and for the last 6 months or so I've been feeling really numb. After listening to this song on repeat, some of these emotions seem to be back. Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but honestly I'm just glad to be feeling something again.
This song just about rips my guts out and exposes every sensitive corner... Damn you Anna Domino. You have brought me to my knees in the most humbling way
Having never actually seen ANY of these promo clips back in the day, I am reassured -- almost delighted -- that they are as unforced, uncomfortable, and unspeakably beautiful as the records were (and are). That's a particularly strong accomplishment for that era.
This is why I love RU-vid.. For years I have loved this song which was written and sung so perfectly by Aretha Franklin from her 1967 Lp Take It Like You Give It. I never knew this song was covered by anyone...
I can't believe this video has been up 8 years and I never knew about it. This is mesmerizing, Anna Domino is like the goth version of Cyndi Lauper. I agree with other comments I like the simplicity of video.
In the land of my dreams, you're sweeter than ever before In the land of my dreams, you love me so much more I even hear the words that you never say If they could only be real, instead of just in my head In the land of this wonderful dream, I imagine you oh so close Telling all the other girls who love you too, you love me the most And when you walk by, I start to light up, beam, and glow 'Cause when I wanna be with you, I close my eyes, and away I go In the land of my dreams, you're sweeter than ever before In the land of my dreams, you love me so much more I even hear the words that you never say If they could only be real, instead of just in my head In the land of this wonderful dream, I imagine you oh so close Telling all the other girls who love you too, you love me the most And when you walk by, I start to light up, beam, and glow 'Cause when I wanna be with you, I close my eyes, and away I go, go, go In the land of my dreams, where each give and take Oh, give your love to me, for some sweet hour, I'll wait Oh, give your love to me, for some sweet hour, I'll wait Give, oh, give your love to me, for some sweet hour, I'll wait Give your, give your love to me, for some sweet hour, I'll wait
Yep, me too! Heard it on NPR while on a road trip and wrote it down so I'd remember to look it up today. The sound of this song is so haunting. I need to check out the rest of her work! Thanks, as always, NPR!
Really interesting cover of Aretha Franklin's song. Well maybe the original is older. I have been listening the Aretha's one for years and now I was listening to this for curiosity and it is completely different but somehow good!
@gotbapped from an artist named "Wiz Dinero" the track name " Land of my Dreams" .. I believed this track was released in back the year 1999 or 2000. I have a compilation album with this track.
pizzipez is great, youtube is great, who could imagine that once I would see an Anna Domino Video... somebody could post a song called "88" ? her best...
She was the first girl I found "interesting". Crazy how much she hasn't changed, except her hair was blonde, long, and straight. If you're speaking to her, please tell her "BW" gives her a big hello!
I just love this video... one of the best things I've found on youtube... been sending it to everyone I know... is there a video for LAKE?... my favorite Anna song.
