this song has a profound effect on me. it's hard to describe. i've listened to all of the big post punk bands from this era, but this song is the purest and most poetic expression of that aesthetic i've ever encountered. it has a mystical, hypnotic quality. it's sort of melancholy but also energetic and powerful. it evokes a very nuanced emotional state. what's interesting is that so many random people think it is one of the best songs ever written. even 35 years later people come here and say they just discovered this band and second skin is one of the greatest songs they've heard in their lives. imagine having people say that about your art decades later, when in your own era you were relatively obscure outside of manchester. i hope they know how powerful their music is, and how long it has endured.

If you haven't read the Tempest, and Shakespeare's more mystical material , I recommend it in this context, it contains the same otherness. The following is quoted in part in the song of course... its fucking immense Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vex'd; Bear with my weakness; my, brain is troubled: Be not disturb'd with my infirmity: If you be pleased, retire into my cell And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, To still my beating mind.

Script of the bridge 1983 An album EVERYONE should hear before they die. 12 songs of melancholic cold post - punk from the eighties. From the punk/rock angry blast of melodic noise that is Don't Fall upto the haunting and sad melancholic slow gothic tone of View from a hill. The entire lp is art, a masterpiece and easily their best lp and one of the best albums EVER made. Chris was here in the summer of 2023

I was a guitarist in a California gothic rock band and a huge goth music fan during this time period. My fave bands were Sisters, Red Lorry, March Violets, etc but the Chameleons are really the ONLY band of all of them I can still listen to regularly now in my mid 50s and enjoy it as much as I did in 1985. Timeless music. The guitarists were a huge influence on me personally as they mesmerized with their guitar lines that wove together like the threads of a persian carpet.....Up The Down Escalator is probably my all time favorite of theirs but they truly didn't compose a bad song. The only song I didn't particularly like as much as the rest was the cover of John I'm Only Dancing....The Chameleons and The Mission are the only two "goth" bands I can still listen to these days and do with regularity. The others, especially with bands like Sisters or FOTN just seem outright silly to me now....the Chams did it right...

I wish I could have seen you guys play!! I'm still aggravated that its taken me this long to be able to talk to artists that were part of this sound, this movement that we have to thank for music today. so many people I want to thank and tell how much it meant to me to hear, and how hard it was to discover and hear the music. I found RLYL in 2004 in a really obscure way and immediately was on a mission to find more bands like that. Couldnt find anyone to recommend much that was relevant to what I wanted to hear, like that, and The Wake, and Joy Division. I like to put Talk about teh Weather on repeat some days. I've never met someone else that likes these bands to high five on youtube, so high five and hugs. Keep doing music, at least now we have ways to communicate and support digitally

I've listened to Second Skin upward of 4000 times in my life, and I never get tired of the celestially perfect synthesis of synth, strings and drum that make up its divinely untouchable melody. Between the intro that echoes a reflection of eternity, the instrumental build between verse 1 and verse 2 makes me envision the universe being made and then unmade by unknowable forces all at once, every time. And this is to say nothing of Mark's haunting lyrical monologue that beckons the dark pull of existential mystery.

The Chameleons truly great artists who sonically and lyrically hit the heights. You must firstly find the truth , the truth within yourself ,and then you must believe in that truth ,and then you must be prepared to hold on tight to that truth, as everything in existence will try to make you loose your grip completely on that truth . Blessings to all brothers and sisters, you know who you are.

Lyrics: One cold damp evening The world stood still I watched as I held my breath A silhouette I thought I knew Came through, someone spoke to me Whispered in my ear This fantasy's for you Fantasy's are in this year My whole life flashed, before my eyes I thought, what they say is true I've shed my skin, and my disguise And cold on the naked eye Emerged from my cocoon And a half-remembered tune played softly in my head He said He turns smiling And says I realize a miracle, is due I dedicate this melody, to you I realize a miracle, is due I dedicate this melody, to you But is this the stuff dreams are made of? If this is the stuff dreams are made of No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air I realize a miracle, is due I dedicate this melody, to you But is this the stuff dreams are made of? If this is the stuff dreams are made of No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air Everywhere Oh, it feels like I'm everywhere Like when you fail to make the connection, you know vital it is Oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is Oh and you reach the point when you know It's only your second skin It's only your second skin (Something's banging on my door) like when you fail to make the connection, you know vital it is (Someone's banging on my door) oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is (Something's banging on my door) or reach the point when you know it's only your second skin (Someone's banging on my door, something's banging on my door)

I went to see Chameleons Vox last night (3/6/18) for 35th anniversary of Script of the Bridge,the performance of Second Skin was as good as it is here and Mark's enthusiasm and voice hasn't changed. Sadly he didn't give any Ribena out this time :( I wasn't alive in 1985 but I might as well have been!

I have the vinyl sleeve of Script of the bridge (1983) signed by two founders, Mark Burgess and Reginald Smithies. Incredible song influenced by The Shadows and The Beatles. I have chatted to Mark lots and he told me quite a bit.. Dave Fielding was influenced by The Shadows, you can clearly hear the sound in his guitar playing etc. Their influence can be heard in bands today from.. Interpol, Editors, The Killers. - C 12 - 08 - 23

I love this song, their sound and this guys vocals. If i was a young guy in 1985 I would have wanted to be in a band like this, fantastic!

I was 1962, saw them live at the tin can club, great gig. So many original bands back in the 80's. Used to love checking the gig list every Thursday in the NME to see who was playing where in the next ten days. Never big venues, capacity not much more than 4 to 500 usually except for bands like the Sisters of Mercy who played in slightly bigger arenas. Fun times.
