Anathema - Sleepless

Love it!

Lyrics : And I often sigh
I often wonder why
I'm still here and I still cry

And I often cry
I often spill a tear
Over those not here
But still they are so near

Please ease my burden

And I still remember
A memory and I weep
In my broken sleep
The scars they cut so deep

Please ease my burden
Please ease my pain

Surely without war there would be no loss
Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery
No sleepless nights missing the dead ... Oh, no more
No more war !

@labrakosgiann - Gothic metal, reaaaalllly? You sure you didn;t mean to write "doom metal"?

[MoCarcass]

Oh the golden age of Anathema, My Dying Bride, and Paradise Lost...

@klapausius69 the guitars on the verse remind me of something like the sisters of mercy quite a lot..

@ZSofAD I remember quite sometime ago they brought Darren White todo the vocals for this song when I saw them live at the Hellfire festival in Birmingham, it was really great!

Good old Times...

[koldslaw]

Nice clean sound...

[ZSofAD]

@meshuggah2727 That's because Darren White left the band.

[Algolagnia666]

@bethanyviollette same way here

[klapausius69]

@SadandSexy667 Totally agree with you, this sounds a lot like some Goth/Deathrock band, and Gothic Metal isn't Goth music.

@SadandSexy667 oh, so I'm not the only one thinking this way :D

[meshuggah2727]

@RapidCycling07 The vocals change immensely on their next album The Silent Enigma, which is a far superior album in my opinion and the other version of this song Sleepless 96 is better imo.

[SadandSexy667]

@wkskfk Exactly!
