Mandalay - This Life

[@Kiffee75]

I miss Mandalay soooo much! Such an amazing band & beautiful, timeless songs ❤️

[@waybec102]

A beautiful hypnotic song that will be properly rediscovered and properly acknowledged later. I guarantee it!

[@AlexanderStemkowski]

Well, Mandarlay had better songs, but let them join The Kate Bush Club sooner or later anyway ;)

[@waybec102]

@@AlexanderStemkowski Better songs are subjective. I first heard this in India as a Brit male meeting persecuted Iranian - just friends - intelligent ladies nearly 20 years ago! Now it could easily be their Athem against a criminally corrupt and murderously oppressive Iranian Mullah militia as of October 2022!

[@AlexanderStemkowski]

@@waybec102 Subjectiveness is overrated) Anyone could earn easy points by shrugging off The Beatles, for instance, but they're appreciated worldwide and we all kind of understand that "Run for your life" is crap, while "Strawberry fields forever" is among their many gems. This looks well applicable to Mandalay. And a song being an anthem doesn't imply it's a masterpiece. "Give peace a chance" is definitely an anthem, but it's just a poor rip-off of "Don't let me down" )

just discovered this duo and I'm in LOVE

Madonna bought me here ❤️

[@peterbalshaw399]

I have loved all this album since I discovered it way back in 2008. This Life track makes my who body shiver with a rush. BRILLIANT. 💗

[@gheechiedan9299]

I 1st heard this song WAYYY back in the late 90's in San Francisco and instantly LOVED it ! 😎😎

[@JoeLed66]

the fact that it has few likes confirms that it is a beautiful song, for a few close friends, beautiful and very good Mandalay

[@80iesDude45]

This is a timeless masterpiece. Goosebumps.

[@MrHumanracin]

What a voice, what a band.

[@hexyko4850]

Thanks for the reupload.

[@ohnoitisnathan26]

I replaced the earlier, VHS copy with this recent digital TV rip, as I thought it was better quality.

[@eugenekay7856]

There is nothing better than this. This is absolutely incredible, and the best music ever made

[@MedJayParis]

What a beautiful song 💜🙂

[@nomadrat]

I love Mandalay. Only a couple albums, but so beautiful.

[@coeurdenvie]

You couldn't even bring yourself To stay, oh no You had to go Spoil it all I know you had to go Now I find these endlessly Colorblind days To fill You never will Take this life Take it all In your hands You were mine I could smile You understand, fine Again I dream You come to me (Come back to me) And comfort me But now I dream Where did this time go Where did this time go Did your love go I know You have to go Spoil it all And now I know You never will Take this life Take it all In your hands You were mine I could smile You understand, fine Take this life Take it all In your hands You were mine I could smile Again Just what you said was cold advice I discovered sticks go with knives I discovered I could die in your chains Still I feel, so won't you stay Oh, babe Take this life Take it all In your hands You were mine I could smile You understand, fine Take this life Take it all In your hands You were mine I could smile Again

Great

[@777pusher]

I’m kinda glad I had almost forgotten about Mandalay, because when I remembered, I got to rediscover them all over again. I’d love to comfort her, and, feed her, if I had to be honest. She is beautiful, but too thin.

[@coeurdenvie]

Don't be honest if you're going to judge. This is about you, not her.

[@anthonymonteiro4344]

Anyone know the drama that led to this band's breakup?

[@akuwiss7181]

Although the band was on the brink of an American breakthrough, Mandalay ended in 2002 when Hitchcock and Freeman parted ways shortly after the release of Solace, due to irreconcilable personal and professional differences. Hitchcock went on to release her album Passive Aggressive in 2005 which includes collaborations with artists Ryuichi Sakamoto, Hector Zazou and Chris Brann. She is currently working on a new solo album. (Wiki)

[@astrogabe]

Does this girl’s voice not sound like Madonna ?

[@Antslimeball]

I’d like her if her voice didn’t shake every word😂

[@hommegirl]

her voice is beautiful
