thats so sad :( i loved his videos, they were an insight into his thinking, what a legend for doing it in the first place though, not many celebs are that cool! x
Also, I think the front cover is based upon Salome because if you look. next to her head is a platter that resembles the platter that John the Baptists head is placed on. check out the photos on Wikipedia.
Salome is a biblical character who Oscar Wilde (one of Peters heroes) used in one of his plays as a woman who demands 'John The Baptist's head..
If I had never heard of Salome and just heard these lyrics I think I could have written a whole story on her...When a song can make you think that you know its nothing less than genius. Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics, even more beautiful artist. in and out. Im so helplessly in love with him <3
In the cold, the coldest dark night in fire i lie to warm my bones ive had enough of the dreadful cold. And from the flames appears Salome. I stand before her amazed, as she dances and demands the head of John the Baptist on a plate. And in the morning, shaken and disturbed I'm on the soft white fur, see all the dust dance in the morning light sets the room alight. And by the telly appears Salome, I sit up amazed as she dances and demands the head of Isadora Duncan on a plate.
no it was because he said almost all his solo work had been released on the internet (via piracy) anyway an that he wouldnt have much new to put on a album that wasn't already on internet
muito bom :)

kofla99 3 years ago
the reason its weird is because the story of salome originates from christian mythology.
oscar wilde wrote the one act play from that.

Hey figured out bits of it if this helps..
Not to sure on the intro but most of the lead is in gminor if u play around ul probs figure it out properly.
Verse is gminor - a# - d# - a# - d# - a# - a(i think) - a# - a
Chorus - Gm - cm - gm - cm - f - d
Its something like that, going by ear.
