Cut myself ’cause I can’t see the beauty
Feel myself ’cause I can’t see the light
Tell myself that I do not deserve this
Tell myself that I do not deserve this
I’m just a simple man
But I’m just a simple man
Tell myself the bad things are
Safe in a place where they’ll do no harm
It’s easier to see when I open my eyes
That all the bad things, that all the bad things are
In my mind
Are in my mind
But I’m just a simple man
I’m just a simple man

… oh well, I quite like them! This is another song that I’m listening to quite often lately, and it’s from a previous album: Arcane Rain Fell. It surely cannot be called an hymn to joy, but it’s quite gorgeous… it’s named Death, Come Near me.
This is a concert by the fabulous My Dying Bride, held in a club in Amsterdam in 2007, right after the release of their latest album. What’s great is also that this recording is freely available on the net!

Lately through Last.FM I’ve discovered this swedish gothic/doom band called Draconian, and I’m liking them quite a bit. It’s been since some time that my listenings have turned towards gothic/doom/funeral doom both in a light form (Evanescence, Lacuna Coil) and in a deeper obscure version (My Dying Bride), and I must say this band is attractive, both for the fact that they couple a deep surrounding grind voice with an ethereal woman voice, and for their lyrics topic, which is centered on literary cultured satanism.
Yeah, of course I’m not satanist. It’s all bullshit (as much as Catholicism), but the atmosphere is seductive.
Their new album is about to be published. It’s the fourth and it is called “Turning Seasons Within”. I think I’m going to listen to it.
Here is a song from their current album “The Burning Halo”. It’s called “The Morningstar”, which of course is Lucifer!
