which song offers hope to you?

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.

... ehm, better have a word with Mr. M Jagger about that :innocent:

Yeah the Sisters changed the lyrics to the song. So, whereas the Stones offer no hope, the Sisters offer great hope.......................hence I agree with the title on some old mag, 'console yourself with the Sisters of Mercy' ( if I remember it correctly).

meaning ( for me of course) for things to get better it's gotta get a whole lot worse.......I'm talking about war man!
I've always heard it as "after a shot, we start to believe in the existence of love". Which is (kind of) hopeful.
That sounds like remorse.
I like the idea of a golden age after Armageddon.

That's one of my favourite Sisters' lines... :D

Heh, I actually find "driven like the snow" soothing in that kind of "hope" way.

Probably "Torch" comes close to hope. Or maybe the Untitled demo.

Odd one this, but listening to Gift the other day, Rain From Heaven struck me as a contendah.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

The entire Floodland but especially Flood II and Driven Like The Snow put me back on track when I'm feeling depressed.
