The Sisterhood - Giving Ground (rare extended mix)

[@goldenultra]

This still gives me the shivers. I did not even know this version existed! Guitars gone, but synths seem so much ahead of Depeche Mode, but this is Gothic Mode.

[@pinkasarp2250]

ahead of Depeche Mode? - they formed in 1980

Giving, giving, giving, giving… In the giving ground In the place to which we wander Reason turned around And every fool Will see his madness crowned And every truth is swallowed up By gently giving ground What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and your trust lies broken And the truth is drowned I watch Surrender Because I know … Now I know you will not see The madness we have seen And now I know you cannot be All that your (fright/flight) has been What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and your trust lies broken And the truth is drowned Words are just dust I stood but you just could not wait Behind Because I know you cannot be All that your (fright/flight) has been What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and the truth is drowned Everything is lost in the giving ground Everything is lost Everything is lost in the giving ground Turned around Reason turned around In the giving ground In the giving ground Everything is lost In the giving ground

[@AnaFrancisco-du8jy]

Thanks love so much this song the voice of Andrew is so perfect ❤🎸 🎶

[@davescott618]

It's not Andrew. It's James Ray.

[@h.p.l.7085]

Awesome bass

[@celinegarneau5262]

Pure awesomeness!!! Thanks for sharing!! 🥰🤘

[@neonsuntan]

Thanks, I love this neglected album and I have a better mix of this which I'll upload at some point.

[@leewhizzkid]

This is not an official mix or released version of the song by the way. It is a lovingly created fan remix presumably made by the original poster. That's not a criticism of a job well done it is merely an observed fact for those who are interested in such things. The original version is the 5' 39 instrumental on the AA side of the Merciful Release 7" single SIS 010 (giving ground a.v.) to which vocals were later added vocals by James Ray. This then became the 4' 52 A side of said 7" single (giving ground R.S.V. or Revised Standard Version in the same way as the King James Bible). An extended 7'32 mix of the song was released on the Merciful Release album 'Gift' SIS 020. This 12 min extended remix seems entirely remixed from the version found oF Gift. For completists the 7" single VERSION has slightly fuller lyrics : In the place through which we wander Reason is turned around And every fool who scuttles up Will see his madness crowned And every truth is swallowed up By gently Giving Ground CHORUS What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and your trust lies broken And the truth is drowned I watch as you surrender To silence-loving screams And now I know you will not see The madness we have seen And now I know you can not be All that your flight has been CHORUS I stood but you just could not wait These lines are driven straight Through the circles of your hate And 'cos I know you can not be All that your flight has been What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and the truth is drowned Everything is lost in the giving ground Everything is lost Everything is lost in the giving ground In the giving ground (whispers) Everything is lost In the giving ground WORDS BOYD STEEMSON MUSIC ANDREW ELDRITCH COPYRIGHT CONTROL.

[@neonsuntan]

I used the original mix from the album and blended it with the 7”

[@leewhizzkid]

@@neonsuntan the album version is actually made from the 2 7" versions. they were created using an Oberheimer DMX & a 1986 tech sequencer in Andrews london office then cleaned up in the studio at Bridlington

[@leewhizzkid]

@@neonsuntan i really like yours thank you

[@neonsuntan]

You can hear the join/blend around 07:20

[@abrasionequation4632]

Reminds me of the Hollyrock room in the City night club in Portland Oregon in the early nineties

[@jasonflanders4374]

They just don't make it like this anymore..thanks for up loading!!!!

[@solitarianihilista1454]

They didn't even make them like this back then.

[@whiterosetrials5700]

Oh Craig and Wayne he made a song about you, bless Andrew, you hurt his feelings.

[@corvideity]

why can't they just kiss lmao

[@davescott618]

What's best? This or 'Wake'?

[@celinegarneau5262]

Awesomeness!!

[@arcanics1971]

James Ray doing a passable Eldritch impersonation- so passable that to this days rumours persist that Andrew pulled a fast one on WEA and actually sang on this. Though I imagine if that was the case he would have said so by now in order to rub WEA's face in it.

[@PerfectSense77]

Yep. The high register stuff in particular gives it away. The low stuff is really close to Andrew's tone but as he climbs higher it's easy to pick that it def wasn't Andrew, the timbre is just different.

[@malphadour]

James sings it so much better than Eldritch.

the url won't display so i'll just type it: Lost - Giving Ground (Sisterhood cover) upladed on 21 dec 2009

[@corvideity]

my neighbors have had this psychodrilled into their heads so many times... i'm surprised i haven't been shot at. guess it's that deep 😱 literally so, like andrew 🤣

[@carlodamionation8088]

The 1 who thumbs downed this doesn't know music!!!

[@bocklinskitten4335]

6 now I also don´t know why, I will always love this

[@yawninghyaena]

still curious about that mix :) let me show you my cover version bof one of my favourite tracks of all time

[@ryanx1334x]

James Ray 👌🏻

[@Steve_ATL]

My only complaint is that it is too short.

[@Gl0wBuzz3r]

Play it at x0.75 speed - longer and better ;)

[@corvideity]

just like andrew in a certain way 🤣 watch a few interviews and you'll see the comments unfortunately. if he were singing into my ear like this i probably wouldn't fucking care

Neon Suntan, esse som ficou gravado em minha mente desde que ouvi ha muito tempo, vc teria uma interpretação sobre o sentido da letra, esse som é muito especial pra mim obrigado!

[@neonsuntan]

[@neonsuntan]

Estou feliz que você gostou, é uma das minhas músicas favoritas. Eu escuto isso com frequência.

[@suprasumo7962]

me dê uma dica de balada que rola esse som hj em dia ... obrigado

[@corvideity]

@@suprasumo7962 she past away, boy harsher, creux lies, some of the newer robert smith remixes with other bands like chvrches who i have personally loved since day one, maybe filmmaker, deathconsciousness, hanl, or unconscious... which is heavier industrial stuff. newer xymox is still great

[@Trent_Moorman]

​@@suprasumo7962They played it last week at 'Rips bar' in Phoenix. Absolutely tore down the dancefloor. Also have heard it at 'Late Bar' in Chicago. Never underestimate the power of requesting the DJ also 🖤

Now I know you will not see The madness we have seen Now I know you cannot be All that your fright has been What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and your choice lies broken And the truth is drowned Words are just dust I stood but you just could not wait Behind Because I know you cannot be All that your fright has been What you have lost can never be found Words are just dust in deserts of sound Everything is lost and your choice lies broken And the truth is drowned Everything is lost in the giving ground Everything is lost Everything is lost in the giving ground Turned around Reason, turned around In the giving ground Ground In the giving ground Everything is lost In the giving ground

[@joaoraupp8643]

Who did this remix ? What album ?

[@neonsuntan]

I made this remix by blending the original album release with the slightly different 7” single which predated the album.

[@neonsuntan]

If you listen closely around 07:20 you can hear the blend.
