Simply amazing

[@stealthyhydra]

Yes!! For too long I have thought about every Douglas Dare song... "This needs to be another 5 minutes longer". Thank you for hearing my cries Douglas.

This rips me apart inside. What a powerful singing. The melody is a bonus so this masterpiece.

[@Hell321100]

I found no lyrics here, so i came to fix it: Darling, darling, darling, you look divine Resting like a bird ready to fly Twelve flowers surround you, placed on the shelf Chrysanthemums, roses… did you pick them yourself? No one does it like you No one does it like you Darling, darling, darling, you look sublime Your eyes, alabaster skin in the fluorescent light Show us your best side, your make up perfectly applied We’re all by your bedside, and with such pride No one does it like you No one does it like you No one dies like you No one dies like you Darling No one dies like you Blackened sockets, did you paint them yourself? Crisp hospital bed, did you bleach it yourself? No one does it like you No one does it like you No one dies like you No one dies like you You will always live on You will always look young Darling You will always live on You will always look young

Thank you a lot ! How did you catched all of it ? ^^ Also, these lyrics and those of Venus are about the same theme, which is pretty tragic. I don't think he sings about a personnal story, but may be does he ? It might be a will to tell beautiful sad stories as poets used to be during the romantic and victorian period.

[@yourbaemarra]

thank you

@@Diss0lvant I think the song is about the American actress Candy Darling and more particularly about a photo of her called 'Candy Darling on her Death Bed 'taken in 1973 by photographer Peter Hujar www.moma.org/collection/works/192664

[@imagecarpenter]

Before my mother died at age 100 I used to listen to this. She did die with a perfect face in hospital.

[@alvmeta]

Wow.

[@iotaultsch]

Was wondering, is the physical CD in embossed card or is the graphic a flat print?

[@SuperSubStrata]
