Peter Murphy - Fake Sparkle or Golden Dust?

Gone to sound
Your vision' thirst
On a parted road
To wanderlust
The means to magic
You've still to find
Fake Sparkle
Or Golden Dust?

More or less
I've told the score
More or less
I've told the score
Send that shiver Shiva look
Dance the chance the writer took

More or less
I've told the score
Lucky Luke
Or dark door?
Send that shiver Shiva look
Fake Sparkle or Golden Dust?

More or less
I've told the score
More or less
I've told the score
Send that shiver Shiva look
Dance the chance the writer took

the way he is singing in this song adn the rest of the album is so beautiful and it sounds just like the voices that echo out of the mosques in Turkey every day.

[PullusPardus]

yes "Original" Middle Eastern/Arabic type of singing and the reason i said original is that now they cant sing they just too busy being "sexy" and not caring about the music the reason why i dont listen to Arabic music anymore lol

[Filmnikita]

No matter how many times I hear this song, it puts me into a trance. I'm sitting here at my desk formatting Excel spreadsheets and I'm instantly transported to a calm and centered place where the spiritual is sensual.

As someone who focuses on goddess imagery for my spiriuality I find so much divinity in this song and album. Truly beautiful.

Peter's voice matches very well in this Arabic mood. This album is a masterpiece.

@MisAnnThorpe

shut up with the atheist evangelizing and enjoy the fucking music

[MisAnnThorpe]

@tonbuchele Nothing just as long as you enjoy it!

@Ckordobah In my admittedly not very humble opinion, it's invariably a big mistake to look to rock stars for some kind of spiritual guidance. Just ask Bob Dylan fans; a man who went through religions like traffic lights! Its quite apparent just by listening to his singing voice that his conversion to Islam has done nothing to lessen Peter Murphy's very sizable ego. I suspect this played a not insignificant part in Bauhaus's break up (again!) Btw, I am a big fan!

[MisAnnThorpe]

@Ckordobah 2 my mind, trading Christianity, or I should really make the distinction and say Catholicism for Islam is akin to giving up heroin for crack cocaine. One is as bad as the other. I'm sorry to have to say that Peter Murphy is probably no more "enlightened" than you or I. Don't forget, only a few years ago he felt that his newly found Islamic sensibilities no longer allowed him to perform certain Bauhaus songs. Yet, when I went to see them 4 years ago, he appeared to have no such qualms

Low and Behold: He was and Still is my Love of all time. I converted 12 years ago never knowing he had also and all that time it was his lyrics that led me into questioning many aspects about our society and Beliefs. Later after I converted I was shocked to learn that my Passion concerning music (Peter) had Converted as well, It was the Lyrics in his older Music that will guide anyone that believes that there is a reality to our existence (Love Hysteria) was the Platform for both of us...Peace
