SISTERS SONGS COVERED.

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.

And also, I've been finding amusement of trying to create as many different lyrics for This as possible.

I've come up with a really good one that I want to record and upload... Would this be frowned upon? :oops: :oops:
Plus, wouldn't it be cool to hold a competition sort of thing? With who can come up with the best version of it? :lol: Was just a thought I've been thinking... :D

Agreed, it is a good version, but what's with the band name? :urff:
I tried to tell her

I don't really know what for.

A prime example of how to do it wrong - musically almost identical, vocally it's the old "man in a Darth Vader helmet at the bottom of a 50 foot well" malarkey.

Fans of the Nouvelle Vague cover (the one used in Nip/Tuck and with nearly a million You Tube hits - more than almost all TSOM videos !) might be interested to know the guy behind it (Olivier Libaux) has a new album of QOTSA covers coming out : http://echoesblog.wordpress.com/2013/08 ... s-podcast/

That's really rather good. I do favour covers in a slowed-down mode sometimes. Nice ending even

Not that much of a Springsteen fan, but I heard Dancing in the Dark on the radio yesterday, and again thought that if it was half the speed and with a bit of acoustic vibe it would be a dream of a song.

I was of course joking. I don't actually have psychokinetic powers.

Soul In Isolation: "Marian"

Works for me. The vocal styling is a bit of the usual, but somehow goes down better here, and they added a new middle eight and some Chameleons drumming.
