Body & Soul EP

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.

play it slowed down after taking a speed bomb - plenty long enough then :wink:

Despite the lyrics, for me, it's always had a Spaghetti Western mood to it, a dark G*th Western, at midnight on the Tombstone cemetary with dusty black coat, hat and sunglasses, Andrew Morricone.

I see Afterhours less Spaghetti western and more Film Noir. Your in the misddle of some of something Chandleresque and Eldritch has got the part of Marlowe - even if isn't tall enough.

It holds special meaning for me as a bit of a romantic... plus I have a signed copy.
I have always wanted Afterhours to be celebrated for the opus it is, it's a cracker of a tune. It would be tops to hear live, just to get things going.

.....and to quote myself 2 years later.... :lol: :lol:
We got married on Friday night for our 20th anniversary! Body & Soul lyrics basically made up our vows.... and my wedding ring has 'first & last & always' engraved on the inside
