Peter Murphy had this great heavy baritone of a wise angst ridden older gentleman even as a youth. That’s why it hasn’t aged. We from that era can close our eyes and be transported back to our own youth. This song and its lyrics fill me with such melancholy like so many PM songs. 😢
Today while driving and listening to Sirius radio, I heard this and almost went off the road. I had loved this song so much back in the day, but time had passed, and with commercial radio being as sad as it is, I hadn't heard this in perhaps 20+ years. What a beautiful song by a talented artist. I always loved this song. Thanks so much for posting.
Miss the alternative 80s to 90s. Great voice and performance by all the band members like the others said. Most of all touched by that super Dad gesture. Remembered listening to this when I drove my brother to his 5 am shift to Brooklyn on NY's WDRE station.
This is so heartwarming. Peter, we want you back in China :). I've been talking to the manager of Yugong Yishan (the venue in Beijing you performed at last time) to consider inviting you again soon. Best wishes
Just saw your performance Pete on RU-vid at the Alexandra Palace last Oct with Bauhaus..absolutely flawless! I am so lucky to have seen Bauhaus when I was 20 in the late 80' s ,seeing you guys together again playing like THAT ..I take my hat off to you ,you will always be chief vampire in command in my i.imagination ;) love ,peace and good health to you for 2022 xx
