The last three Saturdays I have been
talking to you about ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s
songs with similar lyrics, today we close this series with two great
songs: "๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ฉ๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐"
and "๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐ฐ'๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐".
Are you ready?
"๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ฉ๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐"
is one of the oldest ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s
songs and the very first produced only by themselves. The song begins
with a bass line by ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐
๐ถ๐๐๐
๐๐, which is
quite remarkable throughout the song. It gets louder on the chorus
part, because of ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐
๐ด๐๐๐๐'s guitars and we can
hear to ๐น๐๐๐๐๐
๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
on drums. It was released as a ๐ฉ-๐๐๐
๐
in the band's second single, "๐ช๐๐๐
๐ฏ๐๐๐", in 1996, and later in the
10๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ฌ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ of
๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s
first self-titled album.The band played it live 21 times in total
between the years of 1996 and 2001.
Enjoy watching the band in their early
years playing live this song!!

Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such determination always tries to turn
the tide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
the big, big blue.
Try losing, this chromosome.
It's my choosing, down to the bone.
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such imagination always helps the
feeling slide.
Open up your soul, falling back into
the big, big blue.
Try losing, this chromosome.
It's my choosing, down to the bone.
Blood, dive in
blood, drowning
blood, dive in
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Auto-flagellation always helps the
ghost to hide.
Open up your arms, let me dive into
the big, big blue.
Try losing, this chromosome.
It's my choosing, down to the bone.
Blood, dive in
blood, drowning
blood, dive in

During the soundchecks of their first
tour, they written many of the songs that later would be part of
their second album.
In 1997, ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐
tried a new song at their live shows, which they played 7 times
before officially recording it. Now, let's watch the one they played
on May 22th,
1997 at ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐จ๐๐๐
๐๐๐, in
London.

Strange infatuation seems to grace the
evening tide.
I'll take it by your side.
Such imagination always helps the
feeling slide.
I'll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a
pack of lies.
I'll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans
the hide.
I'll take it by your side.
tick - tock tick - tock
tick - tock
tick - tick - tick - tick - tock
It's obscene and scattered dreams
And everytime we take a spin
Then I got you high and listen to your
breathing
And kiss you like a soft machine
You grow me like an evergreen
You never seen the lonely me at all
I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I...
Fall.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.

As you may have already noticed
listening to the two previous songs, ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐
used some lines from "๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ฉ๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐"
to compose the lyrics of "๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐ฐ'๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐".
Adding different words, verses, and with ๐บ๐๐๐๐
๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐ on drums, the
song took a totally different meaning and sound, becoming that epic
and heartbreaking power ballad that gave title to their iconic second
album and one of the most important songs of ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s
history. We can never forget to mention that it was the song that the
legend, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐
๐ฉ๐๐๐๐,
chose to sing along with them. A unique and very special moment in
which the admiration, respect and friendship that existed between
๐ซ๐๐๐๐
and ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐
were immortalized in some recordings, photos and, of course, their
hearts.

๐️“That song is very
misunderstood. It is not a love song, the narrator is suffering from
pathological low self-esteem. It’s about co-dependence, feeling
like you don’t have an identity without somebody else.”

๐️“It's a very romantic
title and when we were demoing the album it seemed to sort of emerge
as something that... a way of getting the theme of the record across.
You know the record's like sort of primarily about an ever-pervading
loneliness and heartbreak really and you know there's quite a few
relationship songs in there so on one level it's kind of like us...
it's a message for us, from us to ourselves, to each other in the
band. It's a message to our fans and it's also sort of something
that's universal in the way that most people have felt that at least
once in their lives.“

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You've never seen the lonely me at all
I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I...
Fall.
Without you, I'm Nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.

It has been wonderful and exciting for
me to know a little more about the origin and evolution of these
songs together with you.
