It's filmed in Petra, Jordan, where people are extremely friendly, welcoming and open-minded. Mosques and churches are often located next to each other there. Everyone visiting this country will instantly fall in love with it! Petra is now officially one of the 7 'wonders of the world'! Petra is one of the most captivating sites in the world and this combination of images and the Sisters is priceless!

One of the most underrated bands ever; Andrew Eldritch and Patricia Morrison are phenomenal Talents. The very first time I heard S.O.M., was 1993 in Hawaii. We use to party at a club called The Dungeon. Those magical days were only magical because of the awesome music that this band contributed; for that, I give them thanks. This song in particular is definitely part of what memories Ill be taking, to whatever afterlife awaits; and if there, no ones heard of The Sisters, Ill inform them.

This brings so many fond memories of my youth! Listening to S.o.M., and making out with this gorgeous goth girl, while trippin'. Going to SOMA in downtown San Diego and drinking a conglomeration of alcohols from a snifter that was bigger than my head. Leopard print creepers, blue/black mohawk, black everything... What happened? Now, I'm a suit and tie guy... oh the days when we were free to do as we pleased... the daily grind, love, family, and responsibilities took over. I still have my memories, and thank God for music, because I can always go back to that place in my mind, I still have that snifter, the music, and the alcohol. Where are my creepers?

[@walboyfredo6025]

Jov, Jordan is am interesting place to visit not just for Petra. It's got the dead sea, numerous Roman architecture sites, Bethany - the place Jesus was baptised and places where Lawrence of Arabia made his name, like Accaba ( where in the movie he said he and his Arab followers took control). It's now a luxury resort.

[@wendydomino]

I would not say I'm goth but I do really appreciate gothic music and aesthetics

[@ohmixmaster]

WOW, thanks for posting this. I can still remember when I bought this album in 1987, and was amazed at an alternative band using choral elements in their music. Add Andrew's baritone voice and of course Patricia's bass work, and you've got the pinnacle of 80's music. Never knew there was a video, and am thrilled this was posted. Thanks OP!!

[@BeneRou]

Patricia didn't play bass...she was there for looks and moral support... Eldritch served as the vocalist, performed all instruments, and programmed the band's drum machine, "Doktor Avalanche". There was some help from Eddie Martinez (guitar, guy from Porto-Rican descend who appears briefly in the clip "This Corrosion) Morrison did not contribute to the album despite being a member of the Sisters of Mercy.Despite hiring her to play bass guitar on the album, Eldritch later claimed that Morrison did not contribute to the songwriting for it, with him saying that it was practically a solo record. Eldritch insinuated that she suffered from writer's block and was unable to come up with many musical ideas, also adding that he "couldn't even get her to pick up the bass in the first place."He reaffirmed this in a 2012 interview with Classic Rock, stating that she "didn't make the cut" and therefore did not appear on Floodland. Merciful Release office manager Boyd Steemson also gave confirmation that Morrison's contributions were minimal.
