It's so frustrating to think this brilliant band is so obscure and underappreciated. But that's what also makes them so precious... Love Shriekback from the 80s.
Heres the lyrics, an amazing song by an awesome band: Direct light - nothing we can see by In turn we live by touch Blind as our first moments All white and flame Become the darkness see too much And what glows warm behind us Casts a shadow limp as sleep It goes on forever Or it seems that way The words unspoken the line uncrossed
@sindaen - lyrics continuation: Those dark eyes conceal their life within them Buried secrets - the flesh won't keep Only motion makes him And he grows more still A stronger impulse sinks more deep And the sky grows white above us Our love a fact Like any other Like a muscle pulsing in a seabird's wing These welcoming doors close above us amazing, what do you think shriekback meant by these beatifuly dark lyirics and haunting vocals?
Thanks for posting those. Very hard to decipher. It may depend on whether or not the track was written for the movie, if so it seems to work well with the idea the killer is being described and the feelings he is going through. The woman he loved was blind in the movie, the first verse seems to touch on that...
@sindaen "Only motion makes him and he grows more still" something to do with him staring at the moon before he enters the home of the family he going to kill perhaps?
@sindaen Thank you for adding the lyrics to the video, when i was reading the lyrics with the song i got a chill up my spine, this is an amazing song, very deep
man no comments whats happened? its a classic...never seen soo a great movie like manhunter from michael. best hannibal film in my opinion! and the music is unique. shriekback did a great job here.... love the band soo underated both sides!!!!!!

I hadn't heard this song in years. It's been in my head all morning. I have no idea why. I loved this soundtrack when it came out.

A Great film, the best of the Lektor saga makes Silence of the Lambs shrivel in comparison.

Is it just me, or does Noonan look like Marlon Brando in this pic?

@TheAgwoodliffe I do believe that is Brian Cox as Lektor, but yes, still very much Apocalypse Now Brando.

Another great track for a great Mann film. The soundtrack alone makes this superior to "Red Dragon" easily, hee hee.
Thanks for posting!
