The most twisted thing you've done to a Sisters soundtrack?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Wow, I've done nothing interesting really:

Screamed the Body And Soul version of Body Electric the other day until my parents' confused looks stopped me.

Sung Ghostrider, Highschool and Rain From Heaven at school when I thought no-one was listening..

And laid underneath a guitar on a couch for an hour with my eyes shut singing along to Overbombing, occasionally plucking the guitar strings.

Hmmmmmmmmmm,.. the weirdest what i did on A "sisters" track.

I remeber that very well !!!

I was at the lake near my home here with 2 friends, we were all down in to a bottle of some good heavy liqure.I had my portal cd/radio blaster with me (with doly surround), around the lake it is nice and very quite from 23:30. We where lying in gras, watching the bright full moon and some small long clouds going under it, smoking 2 sigarets at the same time (Lucky strike 100s - the long one's). Had put one the "Floodland" cd, and the way we go. From the moment the cd started to play,we never said anything to each other and we didn't stop smoking and drinking untill we got up to walk back home.We just laid there and listening to the cd over and over again untill the sun came up at 06:50.

That was a nice and strange expiriance !


And the most twisted thing ? ? ? Image

I love to sing "Lights" and "Valentine" during rush hour on the highway here in Rotterdam on the motorcycle. Some time's I do the same when i'm in the center of a crowded city in front of a trafic light :twisted: It's funnto see the reaction of the people :notworthy:
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor,.....Isn’t that what friends are for ?

If 600-round-per-minute acrimony characterized this era of the Sisters, it surely is not about forgiveness?

Oh, that reminds me of something. I once tried to drown listening to Floodland. In Spain that was, I was 20. Went out of the hotel late at night, drunk, barefoot and crying, with a walkman. Then I walked into the sea, further and further, until water was so high that I had to hold the walkman above my head - then a bigger wave came and destroyed the headphones, the music stopped and somehow I run out of courage to walk on.
And no, I've never been a goth. On that night I was wearing the pale pink dress, I remember. :)

Dunno about twisted, but I've never been able to go out to bat (at cricket) without Temple Of Love popping into my head the second the bowler starts his run-up. Rather annoying really, and possibly has something to do with my less than perfect batting averages over the years. Either that or I'm just sh*t.

Twisted goings on to the rumble of overbombing would definitely include festivals, drugs, and girls breasts replacing the mirror of 'Afterhours'. Ahh, my youth, why have you forsaken me?.

I'd like to think it was, but clues basically say it's saying "We could forgive you, but we won't." Though it seems Von has forgiven the Mish two now.

I don't get why it was called "Rain From Heaven" though, I don't get the significance of that line.

Ah, this explains it. I always thought that, since it was played after Finland Red, Egypt White (since it's about an AK-47), Rain From Heaven referred to bullets raining down on the enemy. Though that idea didn't really fit in with the ideas of "forgiveness" or "false forgiveness". :)

--- and where does this line come from? Eldo paraphrasing another literary giant? I don't know what the source of those words is, but then I've never even figured out what the 'Floodland' is either and I'm frightened of getting into interpretations of grandiose concepts or things of Biblical proportions. No wonder Eldo later went through a 'stadium rock' phase!

Wouldn't necessarily call it twisted, but I had both of my children while listening to The Sisters (I think they may have been conceived that way also :lol: ). I got a lot of strange looks from doctors (with the having, not the conceiving).
I would have done something, but I was overwhelmed by a lack of concern.

Which song? Or was it the 22-minute medley of covers, so you had a choice of moods? :)

With my son I was listening to Floodland, but I was a bit distracted and can't remember which song was playing when he was born. :lol:

When I had my daughter I was listening to SGWBS and The Damage Done was playing. I remember that clearly only because it kept skipping. :lol:

Causes me to either sleep, get an urge to walk down a covered walkway into a post office with a knife in each hand and cut their f**king heads off, or to think about Vultees.

It's good for when I'm angry.
