Imagine beeing a 9 year old kid. Beeing the in the West (germany) for the first time after the Wall fell. And you hear this song on a listening station in some store. It blew my mind! It`s still one of my favorite songs. (Also, wheat buns you bought are still soft and edible 2 days after you bought them! Mindblown!)

[@katyburns9758]

I love hearing people’s stories like this 😀

[@crbgamer]

that was in 1989… this was in 1992

[@discordiana]

@@crbgamer Original version of this song was much older, way before 89.

[@dermeistefan]

Yes, I may have mixed up my first memory of traveling to West germany with my memory of my second holiday in west germany. I was a young kid. Anyway, the feeling of awe still remains.

[@crbgamer]

@@dermeistefan Looking at the comment again, I just now realize I actually misread it. When you talked about your first time in West Germany after the wall fell, I thought you were saying that this song was playing as the wall was being torn down. This was my own misunderstanding…

[@NorthSea_1981]

This song is absolutely badass. And getting Ofra Haza on board really tops it off. It just works SO well. May this fantastic singer, liked & loved over various linguistic/religious/cultural borders, rest in peace. She died WAY too early, what a gem.

[@lappkalap]

In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on walls As wide as lovers eyes In the temple of love: Shine like thunder In the temple of love: Cry like rain In the temple of love: Hear my calling In the temple of love: Hear my name With the sunlight died and night above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another it's all the same For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love I shine like thunder cry like rain And the temple grows old and strong But the wind blows longer cold and long And the temple of love will fall before This black wind calls my name to you no more In the black sky thunder sweeping Underground and over water Sounds of crying weeping will not save Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave When stone is dust and only air remains In the temple of love: Shine like thunder In the temple of love: Cry like rain In the temple of love: Hear the calling And the temple of love is falling Down

[@dietmarkrah5319]

"Ninety-six below the wave" sounds a tad bit uncomfortable

[@neinlives9424]

depends on how much ketamine you snorted @@dietmarkrah5319

[@58metzger]

thank you

[@watermunteconomie3938]

When Ofra starts adding her voice to the music, harmony is created!

This song brings some good memories - company Christmas party 2013 in a club in Dublin - the song plays - told one pretty colleague of mine that I love the song and she dragged me then to the dance floor :D

I never really realized how the Sisters of Mercy song "Temple of Love" sounds kind of like a "serious" parody of Weird Al's "Dare to be Stupid" until today.

[@suzybearheart530]

Oh geeze, I can't unhear that now hahaha. It's okay though, I love both songs. 😆

[@ancillaartusi5198]

Violenza e oscurità, un sole che va e viene, rituali misteriosi, una colomba che vola lenta. E tutto finisce in un vortice impazzito e colorato. Il tempio dell'amore contiene tutto questo

[@sandorpoloskei5074]

In the temple of love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on walls As wide as lovers eyes In the temple of love, shine like thunder In the temple of love, cry like rain In the temple of love, hear my calling In the temple of love, hear my name With the sunlight died and night above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another it's all the same For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain You run for cover in the temple of love Shine like thunder cry like rain And the temple love grows old and strong But the wind blows stronger cold and long And the temple of love will fall before us Black wind calls my name to you no more In the black sky thunder sweeping Underground and over water Sounds of crying weeping will not save Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar All your prayers must seem as nothing Ninety-six below the wave When stone is dust and only air remains In the temple of love, shine like thunder In the temple of love, cry like rain In the temple of love, hear the calling And the temple of love is falling Down With the fire from the fireworks up above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand You run for cover in the temple of love You run for another but still the same For the wind will blow my name across this land
