i prefers the song from ahmad dhani feat chrisye.jika surga dan neraka tak pernah ada..the lyrics are stronger and also the arrangement is much better
This came out around the time that a lot of black Europeans were producing great music. You had Les Nubians, Eagle Eye, Seal and of course Neneh Cherry...I'm pretty sure the success of this single owes a lot to '7 Seconds' and it wouldn't surprised me if Stephen himself got inspired by it with it's descending chords and deep bassline. The album is so so good- To all the people who have the album called 'Spirit Tales' make sure you cop the original Swedish version of the album entitled 'Alone'
Bought album in 2000. Wrong time 4 me to bring back those memories. My eyes strt getting teary & the heart gets heavy.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL (one knows the downside f love but U want 2 know you're human & want that feeling back - I do and do and try not to think about the pain after the love)

See the video titled "Jika surga dan neraka tak pernah ada" on the suggestions? It's a music video of a song that 'borrows' its melody from "Tears Never Dry". The song's title's translation is "If heaven and hell never existed". It's in Indonesian
This album is from 1998. I remember when I first heard it 12 years ago. It was automatic and timeless. Didn't get much play back then and the project didn't get much push but even today this album is a must have if you do not own it.
The great artists don't get fare breaks if their budgets and marketing machine are lacking.
@InternationalWaters agreed, he was slept on and should have been much bigger although I noticed his later stuff sounding more commercial which is unnecessary.
Same here. After 'Spirit Tales' album I wasn't able to listen to anything else from him. Maybe went a different route to appeal more to mainstream? It would have only taken one strong record to get him paid. Radio spins, radio performance shows, touring, crazy sells, merch, etc. Less politics back then too. But we still need more indie acts to deliver this sound and feel. Bring the spirit back to Soul. Hate to say it, but those days may be sooo far behind us at this point.
Tune. I remember this coming out in the UK, during the summer of '98. I'd broken up with my first girlfriend, and had to endure the pain of seeing her going out with one of my 'friends', with this playing on the radio. Hard times, but now I can appreciate the power of this tune.
This was my fave CD of 2000,it is just stunning.Its one that you can put on and just let the whole thing play,every song is great.This is a deep brutha from Sweden,Stephen please bless us again with some real music.I lost my Cd but thank God i have it dubbed on cassette.
Now that I know why I exist How can I go on without you You left me here without a clue I can't with words how much I miss I wish that there was something I could do If I could turn back time you know I would (chorus) Now I hope my words could somehow guide the world today into better ways 'Cause it has been a long time coming here And on the final day there will be no more words to say, no more games to play (love is the way) Don't you know that love is the way (chorus
Now that I know why I exist How can I go on without you You left me here without a clue I can't with words how much I miss I wish that there was something I could do If I could turn back time you know I would (chorus) Now I hope my words could somehow guide the world today into better ways 'Cause it has been a long time coming here And on the final day there will be no more words to say, no more games to play (love is the way) Don't you know that love is the way (chorus
My only one what have I done Where have all the good times gone How could I be so cold There's nowhere to hide nowhere to run We used to have so much fun Ain't no sunshine when my baby's gone Chorus: Nothing but your memories (shalalalalalala) Sorrow and greed In the air that I breathe So much pain that I can't hide (shalalalalalala) I wanna try But the tears never dry
Man...I can't begin to tell you in how many ways this song relates to my life...now and back when it came out....both times I was/am in a terrible relation....and parting from it..!!! The vid was shot beautifully, though!! This one will stay with me for the rest of my life!!! Soooooooooo beautifull!!!
When I split up with my first girlfriend, way back in '98, this tune was in the charts. It's never left me, probably due to the emotions it aroused in me, and the heart ache I was suffering from at the time. Bitch.
loh khan di sampul album Chrisye pas lagu Jika Surga Dan Neraka Tak Pernah Ada di tulis (Vokal : Chrisye/Dhani; Musik&Lirik : Stephen Simmonds; Lirik : Dhani (Based On the song "Tears Never Dry" written n performed by Stephen Simmonds)
>>cuman copypaste dari forum. kalo mau tau benernya cek sendiri. lolz
Maybe he's not the greatest vocalist, but he's very talented and he makes beautiful music. I remember I was in the kitchen and this song started to sound from the living room, I stopped doing everything, I ran to the living room and just sat down, was so amazed.
Thumbs up if you still listen to this song 2012....
