Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
Who you were meant to be
Flick to remote and let the body glide
There is no enemy
Etch out a future of your own design
Well tailored to your needs
Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive
Of a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
Windpower
There is no enemy
Switch of the mind and let the heart decide
We're a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
Shatter the lens and grind it into sand
One measured exposure
Scatter the seed and furrow in our land
The future is roses, roses
Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
There is no enemy
Lift up the hearts of this your only tribe
We're a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
We're a continent, a continent, a continent, a continent, a
You can rest relaxed in the calm thought that nothing will ever be as awesome again as the 80s.
Ultravox - The voice 1982
Native these words seem to me
All speech directed to me
I've heard them once before
I know that feeling
Stranger emotions in mind
Changing the contours I find
I've seen them once before
Someone cries to me
Oooh, the look and the sound of the voice
Oooh, they try, they try
Oooh, the shape and the power of the voice
Oooh, in strong low tones
Forceful and twisting again
Wasting the perfect remains
I've felt it once before
Slipping over me
Oooh, the look and the sound of the voice
Oooh, they try, they try
Oooh, the shape and the power of the voice
Oooh, in strong low tones
(Instrumental)
Sweetly the voices decay
Draw on the lines that they say
I'd lost it once before
Now it cries to me
Oooh
These are four tracks from the original Pieces In A Modern Style album by The Electric Chamber (William Orbit). This album contained several works from Arvo Part and Henryk Gorecki which could not be licensed and therefore this album was pulled from the market again soon after release. But exactly these are the four most melancholic and darkest pieces from the album and coincidentally also my favorites.
1. Samuel Barber - Adagio For Strings
2. Arvo Part - Fratres
3. Henryk Gorecki - Pieces In The Old Style 1
4. Henryk Gorecki - Pieces In The Old Style 3
