@93riven It's acually a traditional song that's said to have originated in the days of slavery. It's got a rather sad yet interesting story behind it, and I suggest you read about it some time. It will provide some insight as to the meaning behind this lullaby. Good day! :)
Can't believe some bell end approx 6 months ago lamenting on Jhon's passing I min . Winging he never got his record on clear vinyl the next!!. FUCK OFF YOU BELL END!!. Have a bit of decorum when you've learnt that get a life. This TIT has gotta be a American.
in all fairness we yanks aren't the only ones that act in a repulsive manner on these boards. but i can't lie and say that i don't know exactly what you meant by that statement.
Pretty Marimba... I can play the Marimba and Piano so I think I'll learn this song. Or maybe on the French Horn.... Regardless.... It's beautiful... Rest in peace, Peter....
Jeeze, I like Coil, and I'm sure most of you do too, but how about you cutdown on the "I'm glad SOME people still like REAL music" kind of talk. It makes Coil fans look like douche bags. When it comes to radio and the general lameness of modern popular music just silently roll your eyes and move one.
After one of the members fell down the stairs, the remaining members claimed that the act has been disbanded? I thought that was well near the end of 2004...if this is true, then coil still owes me a copy of "time machines" vynal in clear wax i purchased right before this happened.
the so n so was busy shipping out that record he wouldnt be busy dying from a broken neck dwn a staircase...
you know so little about them that you refer to jhonn as "onne of the members" but you paid $200 for a record? bringing money up here is truly disgusting. perhaps peter will paypal you a refund from beyond the grave you vile cunt.
Although I stupidly took them for granted (on rare occasions), there is none better. Even the "dated" material is superior to any electro-creeps' crap, then and now. They were real.
I feel special, like a chosen one, since i saw COIL in Oslo ..in 2005 i think, a performance i'll never forget. Very intence and strong. He (Jhonn) had no beard then, that came right after the Oslo-gig i've been told.
So, like sooo many other followers, i was, mildly spoken, shocked when the news about Jhonns way too early departure reached me. I will always have a place in my hollow chest for you, Jhonn. Though you never knew i existed. R.I.P. Coils music lives on.
I'm glad to see most of you seem to like Coil as much as I do. It's nice to know people still listen to music that means something other than musicians & business men who push commercial shit & the convention line of thought.
I know what you're talking about! Music has really lost meaning these days. They just through a bunch of lines about money, girls, and getting drunk and bam! They have a #1 song on the radio. I don't think that's talent. Music like Coil, and Taylor Swift and them, THEY have talent!
Perry's voice can grate, but i can never get enough of 'Xavier', from "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun" (blows Gerrarde to the dust on that LP, IMO).
Most toe curling of DCD, tho, is the New Agey, Hippy, Non-specifity of their take on their songs/life... Am I the only one who finds Gerrade's constant gushings in interviews at odds with 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley', and what it means to others (...i.e. REAL life! Politics, dammit!! ) ... As privalaged as I was to hear it in the flesh...
Geff once sent me a 5 page letter written in his own blood whilst he was still at public school! BTW DR.Phucker, a few of us ex-clockdva members have a new project called shadowranglers, find us on myspace.
It was David Tibet who changed the lyrics from the old American folk song(From "Picking out" to "Flitter round".) JB is just singing the current93/Nick Cave version.
Would you believe it?! I'm 42, gay and "post-punk", and I only recently discovered Coil. Even though some of my friends for years tried to convince me, I just never really did cope with Jhonn's voice. Sorta like with the guy from DCD. But now, amazingly, I've sorted it out! After I watched their cover version of Tainted Love, I can't get enough of that 'Ian Curtis'que' voice. I feel there's a whole catalogue with Coil waiting for me. I started with Horse Rotorvator on Discogs...where will I end?
I'm in my thirties, straight, and have been into all this shit for years. I know what you mean about Dead Can Dance. I can't deal with that voice, either, although I thought Buried Dreams was a very fine album.
Damn, Lucky you! ;) I feel I've missed a lot with Coil. For example their concert here in Copenhagen back in 2001. But I'll be at the Soisong (Sleazy's new shit) gig, tomorrow, here in Copenhagen at the Culture Box. Can you beat that? ;)
Yep, "The Serpent's Egg" is fine. Funny enough my favourite track is "Severance", with "that voice"!! Goes to show you can learn to cope with some music! Another fav with DCD for me, must be their "Into The Labyrinth" album. But again..."that voice!" ;)
Exactly Brendan Perry, that's his name. BTW, which is your favourite Coil album/track? Lately I'm digging the "Black Antlers" album and the tracks "Are You Shivering?" and "Heaven's Blade"....But could go on for hours dropping titles of grand tracks. A bit hard to always clearly hear the lyrics though, don't you think? Well, maybe it's also because English isn't my first language!
Well, Coil has always been a hit-and-miss with me. That's probably because I prefer more aggressive music. That being said, my favorite Coil album has always been Horse Rotorvator, and my favorite track is the opening song, Anal Staircase. That's what I call a fuck song from hell!
Love it. RIP John balance. Also so good to see a vid with not many negative comments (and the ones who did comment crap didn't get a war declared on them. See, sometimes people can get along :) :) xx

This is not Brendan Perry of DCD. This is the late Jhon Balance of Coil. They may look alike with the beard.
In terms of Lisa Gerrard's esoteric meanderings, they fit the persona. I don't expect political activism when I listen to DCD, just escape.
