| Peter Murphy – Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is a great and beautiful poetic song coupled with peter murphys great voice. i think the song is about an old woman who is lying on her deathbed abd telling a bout someone she loved and the story brings up buried tears.it also seems as if she was eternally hurt by this man andhe betrayed her somehow. in spite of this, love deeply and passionatly,it may hurt but is the only way to live life to the fullest The Philosopher |

| This Mortal Coil – The Jeweller Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song is beautiful with dark piano and cello but the true brilliance is in the lyrics his job(the jewller) is the perfect metaphor for redemption. the spit(like being spit upon) the cloth(to wipe away the spit) and the ashes (which in biblical refrence is the purifier)are the three steps of redemption there are other great metaphors but i cant describe all of them in a short review =) the philosopher |
