lyrics
UNDERSTANDING
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
The drugs are sinking in
And have you speak in tongues
I lack the discipline
Of which you are a paragon
Can't be made to comply
No love will set her free
I’ll never word this lie
No matter what you try,
You'll never beat it out of me
No words are cruel enough
To force your journey on
None that you’re thinking of
But then again,
The night’s still young
Tell me,
Am I Misunderstanding
Could I be
Misunderstanding
You tell me
The trial of my intentions
The fire you were breathing in
Left but wrath and scorn
Branded on her skin
You’re hanging from above
The thorns she lies upon
I can see it clear enough now
But once again,
Her timing’s wrong
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
The drugs are sinking in
And have you speak in tongues
I lack the discipline
Of which you are a paragon
Can't be made to comply
No love will set her free
I’ll never word this lie
No matter what you try,
You'll never beat it out of me
No words are cruel enough
To force your journey on
None that you’re thinking of
But then again,
The night’s still young
Tell me,
Am I Misunderstanding
Could I be
Misunderstanding
You tell me
The trial of my intentions
The fire you were breathing in
Left but wrath and scorn
Branded on her skin
You’re hanging from above
The thorns she lies upon
I can see it clear enough now
But once again,
Her timing’s wrong

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 33 fans who also own “Understanding”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Propulsive and tuneful dark pop from this LA band, available on black or opaque maroon vinyl.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
