Hi Sisters!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hi everybody! I'm a 24 years old university student from Turkey. I study Turkish Language and Literature, I'm interested in poetry, music, football and boxing. I also collect records, I got First and Last and Always, Floodland and Vision Thing among my collection of course.

Well, I just want to say hello. I've been listening to the Sisters for 5-6 years. The Sisters is not very popular in Turkey (sadly -or not, I don't now). However, there is somebody from Turkey in the forum. If there is, selam dostum to him/her.

My username's meaning is "and", by the way. It comes from a song of Erkin Koray, the godfather of Turkish rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ8mv-xnCjw

I'm happy to be here. As a young poet, Eldritch's lyrics has given me a lot of inspiration. I will love to try analyzing them with you.

Honestly, not one of my favorites. It's a good song, but not as strong as an usual the SOM song. If another band (for insatnce, Fields of the Nephilim) had made this song, I would regard it as a great one.

Possibly the most diplomatic answer we've ever had to that question. :lol:
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Oh, hi friend!

By the way, let's listen from a great singer & a great poet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUxDBOP46Mg

"If I don’t burn
if you don’t burn
if we don’t burn
how will the light
vanquish the darkness?"

Nice poem that one. :)
Hikmet, Loizos and Ritsos in one, sounds an ideal gathering of brilliant minds.

When I first read Ritsos, I wanted to learn Greek. His Erotika is amazing.

I didn't want to set up a new topic, so here it is: hello, I'm new here as well :)

I'm 22, I live in Poland and been listening to the Sisters for...well, a couple of months really, but I have to admit that I am head over heels in love with their music :) This is the first time in, hmmm, 7 or 8 years that I registered to a forum (given all the Facebook/Twitter/tumblr etc. hype I'm a bit surprised that forums still do exist). I guess I'm more comfortable with a bit of anonymity.

I'm hoping to join in a few conversations soon because this is a true mine of information on the Sisters. Have a nice day everyone! :)

Welcome and hi, snakestone ... :D ...

IMHO, it were a pity, if there were no forums anymore. Not only because of the (slightly) better privacy,
it's just a different medium and quite a diverse one, too, and way more clearly arranged than any FB or twitter page could ever be ... :) ...
