S.C.U.M - Again Into Eyes
21:37
January 12th. A day to mourn forever. It was the day they broke up. I was so sad, I cried for so much time and sometimes when I play their songs on my iPod I feel so ... weird, like it's a friend I know I'll never see again. Because I never saw them live, and now I'll never really get to see them live, I think.
So, "Again Into Eyes" is the name of their record. It's actually a part of the lyrics of "Whitechapel" one of the best songs of their record, actually the first song I ever heard of them ( not my fave though ). This album, despite its use for comparisons to other great bands like the Horrors ( and picking up similar references as the Horrors' ) is a debut masterpiece. I fell in love with almost every song in this record and a member. My "loverboy" goes by the name of Bradley Baker (synths), but besides him the band also conists ( more like consisted ) of psycho-goth lead singer and guitarist Tom Cohen, Sam Kilcoyne a.k.a. Sammy Seven (guitars & keyboards), Huw Webb on the bass ( fun fact: he is brothers with Rhys Webb of the above referred Horrors ) and his girlfriend Mel Rigby who plays ( played ) the drums.
The best and my favourite track has to be "Paris". The melody and and Tom's voice echoing throug the delicate drum line and the gentle guitar sweeping in the behind always gives me this feeling sort of like I'm floating. And also he lyrics are genius : " ... to lie awake and hear / that I was born in the wrong way / lifted to another place / bury my love / bury my love / in the winter air / in solitude / lifted there ... ". Aren't they just a brilliant masterpiece?
