Sisters of mercy - Garden of delight

cover of The mission uk

[@Elffly13]

This is the best version by far! Eldritch on vocals! 🙌🏻

[@LMB222]

I spent years and kilometers on trains collecting rarities, then lost half of them in different circumstances, but here comes KZbin! I listened to it before my Abitur, what a memory!

[@mozhippy]

incorrect, this was a song that was written by Hussey, for the 2nd album, but Eldritch didnt like it nor any of the other material Hussey wrote so it was never released as Sisters, hence reasons for the split. After Sisters split The Mission were formed with Hussey and Adams and This song was released on the album Gods own Medicine album and its not a Sisters song.

mozhippy 'First Chapter' actually

[@pedrojosegutierrezvelez5137]

Tú si ke sabes rediossssssss exactooooooo y wake 😊y dancing barefoot off course😊❤

[@pedrojosegutierrezvelez5137]

Hubo juicio y ganó hussey 😊

[@larsodal]

This is indeed not a cover, it's the original of the song released later by The Mission, after the split of the original Sisters... never heard it before, thanks! It's good, but it's easy to understand why Eldritch felt it wasn't right for the Sisters.

[@2112jonr]

Agreed, and good observation, it's not a good fit for the Sister's repertoire.

[@jamierobinson9097]

The lyrics lack Eldrichs' grit.....you can see why he rejected Hussey's material

[@pedrojosegutierrezvelez5137]

Hubo juicio es cancion de hussey como dancingggg barefoot😊💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@JCridford]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of this as an MP3 file? It's such an incredible version of this song which would go beautifully on my long drive home from work :)

[@Abrimaal]

I have never heard it with Andy on voc. Why didn't it appear on "First & Last & Always". Was it composed after this album and before the band split? Is the studio version available anywhere?

[@danielbeiersdorf8792]

I like the voice

[@IMRavnos]

Andrew Eldritch is and WAS a control freak. Wayne wrote this song, music and lyrics, and Andrew refused to include it as a B side or as a track on FaLaA. One of the many reasons Craid and Wayne left sisters.

[@aaron1888]

yes on soulseek i just found a version first try

[@vampiroangelico]

If you have enough darkness, dark poetry and feelings in your heart, go watch the video for "butterfly on a wheel" and then tell me that Wayne Hussey shouldn't be a front man.... I feel exactly the opposite, Wayne is a far better singer and songwriter than Andrew, and Wayne's voice doesn't sound like a boring, repetitive spin off of David Bowie 100% of the time, like Andrew's voice.

[@2112jonr]

Agreed, 100%. There's no argument who's the better singer.

[@mattidohmeier5260]

Never!!

[@itwasntmeboningbivvy181]

Wayne and Craig were infuriated to how long it took Eldritch to write a song. And Wayne definitely has a better than Eldritch, with his monoton mumbling into the microphone.

[@juanagustin24]

@milosvega DONDE ESTE LA DE THE MISSION QUE SE QUIETE ESTA

[@victorvollaman6851]

hussey ocupo varias canciones de sister para iniciar a the mission.

[@tizianaf]

i want the mp3 tooooo!! u got it finally? :/

[@VoodooUprising]

This song is meant for the Mission UK, Eldritch sounds ok on this version but doesn't seem full filled. Craig Adams infamous bass lines gives that ole sisters dark shadow sound, it would have been interesting to have Gary Marx contribute. Good song, regardless.

[@MrThomasdrewsen]

@larsodal I think I agree with your last remark... for some reason (and you're probably right on with your first too, I guess, but then I didn't know this version existed)

[@taniamode]

I agree with you though i like the sisters too

[@violatress]

Jesus, never thought I'm going to say this, but here it is - WAYNE HUSSEY SANG IT BETTER. Much better (I'm referring to the original single version, not the horrible orchestral one). It's almost as if Eldritch was consciously trying to sabotage this fine song.

[@ΛορενςΤηςΑραβιας-ζ8β]

Hell no .. Eldritch gave a dark mystic sense to the song, matching perfectly to the lyrics.

[@2112jonr]

Agreed, it's not even Eldritch at his best.

[@alrauun]

I agree, hussey is a better singer, ofc a less original one tho.

[@itwasntmeboningbivvy181]

Wayne Hussey did write it, and later recorded it with The Mission UK. And sang it better. He has a better voice. Not like Eldritch's mumbling, dreary, monotone voice.

[@sebasiouxsierodriguez3638]

Great track. I think that Wayne is more resourceful as a singer than Eldritch, but I also think that Eldritch did a great job here. It is a slightly monotonous voice ,imo; pretty suitable for the type of music they played, though. I don t understand some people being so judgemental about the Split. Both bands are great. I did not like the late Sisters, though.

[@fhs8807]

bedankt

[@NothingSacred27]

I am a huge Sisters fan but I agree with many of you that Andrew has many, many issues. However, I 100% agree with Andrew that Wayne's lyrics are just ridiculously stupid and his singing is obnoxious and overly dramatic. He writes good music and is a good guitar player, but he should be a side man not a front man. I love this version, it blends perfectly with the Sisters sound of that era.

[@paulramsden9127]

Now this was sent to me by Cynthia Bennett my American friend on Tape yes Tape

[@aaron1888]

slsk i would think it is my assumption this was done before the real sisters split after first and last and always it was drama on both sides when the mission started then the sisterhood then the new sisters and floodland exct but just as the cure was gone after pornorgraphy sisters left us after first and last

[@eduardobracamontealvarez1959]

The Sisterhood band - Eldritch Vocal

"The guy didn't have a clue - he'd just string buzz words together." - Wikipedia, it's from a 1987 interview/article by Steve Sutherland in Melody Maker.

[@Icantdothatrightnow]

Who's that about?

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Wayne Hussey.

[@Icantdothatrightnow]

Matthew McVeagh Ahhh. I've never listened to The Mission myself so I wouldn't know.

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Icantdothatrightnow This song is by Hussey. Later on he would revive it for the Mission but this demo version is from when he was still with the Sisters, and Eldritch is having trouble 'convincingly' getting his voice around Wayne's lyrics.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

I thought this was a Mish original...have to say The Mish's version is better

[@2112jonr]

Agreed, much better.

[@MrRobosee]

Wayne did it better!

[@freekrupert2217]

Horrible lyrics. Typical Hussey crap. Nevertheless this is a very interesting version to hear. The Mission in the making. No wonder Eldritch didn't like it.

[@IMRavnos]

Could not disagree more. I'm a huge Sisters fan but Andrew Eldritch has absolutely no passion in his voice. It's like he is trying to channel Bela Lugosi's ghost. The Mission's version is far superior in my mind.

[@geertvanbrantegem8208]

WTF who is copying who? Pathetic

[@2112jonr]

Nope, there's a bit of overlap there where they both have rights. The Mission played Marian on their last tour. Bit of a Venn diagram intersect around '84/'85, even if some fans of either don't like it.
