Pinoy Rock icon of the 90s



Remember Wolfgang?  It's "Darkness Fell"

And so she woke up from a dream
That was beautiful and starry and oh so wild
It was all still clear in her eyes
And though her mind was foggy and blank
She wondered why
Her life couldn't be as lovely it was time
There was this king he had a castle or throne
But his horse was great and white
He rode alone and liked it that way
But when he met her he swore
He would never leave her side
They rode across the land two lovers hand in hand
And no danger would come near
And when something made her cry
She'd look at him teary eyed
And he would make her feel better
So much better so much better than before
And now this forest was his home
It was a night time and the right time for love in the dark
She placed her hand upon her chest
And all the rest just flowed
Makin' love down under an ancient far away night
It was so grand just holding someone's hand
And now safety came naturally
It was so clear that she would never have to fear
Oh tell me a story of magic and spiralling ships
And the stars in the night
Just whisper in my ears make it soft make it clear
I want to hear every breath you say
She placed her hand upon her breast
But she woke up from the land tears falling in her hands
As she looked up asking why
She laid back in her bed thoughts rising in her head
Why can't my life be beautiful she said
As she closed her eyes again
Just prayin' he'd return
But only darkness fell

Fortress Around Your Heart

Click here to listen ...

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the lands I'd known
I recognized the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire


Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop in my track for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

Rockwiz Duet: Hot "Slave to Love" cover ...




Watch Canadian siren Martha Wainwright sashay from side to side, how-low-can-you-go and up again. Smooth and sultry in her cute yellow number and white stockings! Aussie Dan Kelly almost forgot his lyrics!




'Can you help me, can you help me' .... 'Over me' ...

Portishead-fan posting #10: 'Roads' affects me so


It must be the way Beth Gibbons sings oh-so poignantly ... so painfully ... goosebumps run up and down me ...

Portishead sings "Roads" live at Roseland, NY
