New song: Steel (Still?) (from an interview with Chris)

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.

From an interview conducted on the eve of the Finnish show; full translation should be available soon here:


--

No, millaisia uusia kappaleita olet kirjoittanut liityttyäsi bändiin?

Olemme tehneet muutaman. Tänään kuullaan yksi, nimeltä Arms, joka on uusi. Minä ja Andrew olemme työstäneet sitä jo jonkin aikaa. Musiikki on jo ollut valmiina puolisen vuotta, sanat saimme valmiiksi Amerikan ja Euroopan rundien välillä. Sitten on kappale nimeltä Steel. Siihen Andrew kirjoitti kertosäkeen, ja minä säkeistöt. Yhteistyötä, huomaatko… Hitaasti toimiva bändi, mutta bändi silti. Emme silti julkaise todellakaan kaikkia keksimiämme riffejä.

So, what kind of songs have you written for the Sisters?

Chris: We’ve done a few. One of them will be played tonight, a new song called Arms. Andrew and I have been working on it for some time. The music’s been done for about six months, and we got the lyrics together in between the American and European legs of the tour.

Then there’s a new song called Steel. Andrew wrote the chorus and I wrote the verses. Collaboration, see… A slowly functioning band, but a band regardless. We’re really not giving up on all the riffs we’re putting together.

Are you sure it isn't "still"? :roll:

Possible.

The interviewer might've misheard him. I'll modify the topic accordingly.

Yup. If Still was premiered on the Silver Bullet tour in 2006, Chris was already in the band and thus, Steel is Still.

Still no news.

Lock out and throw away the key.

There is a chorus in Still? :eek:
There have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand...
