Aslan - Loving Me Lately (Extended Rebel Edit)

Artist : ASLAN
Track : Loving Me Lately
Year : 1987
Country : Ireland (Dublin)
Label : EMI
Cat No# : 12EM39 (Original 12" Extended Mix)

I pulled this video off an old Betamax Videotape that was recorded from MTV in 1988 and extended it to sync the audio track, which is from a remix I played about with many years ago. I had the original 12 Extended mix on vinyl but it got nicked at a mates house party around 94. The thief stole the vinyl but kindly left me the cover :((

ASLAN formed in Finglas West (Dublin, Ireland) in 1982. Christy Dignam, Tony McGuinness and Joe Jewell had all been in Meelah XVIII, formed in 1980. Billy McGuinness has been in BLUE MOVIES and Alan Downey in ALIEN COMFORT. Joe Jewell had earlier been in ELECTRON, before Meelah XVIII. Tony McGuinness is a cousin of Buzzcock's bassist Steve Garvey. Billy McGuinness was the Master of Ceremonies at the first ever NR:GEX gig. Aslan played for the first time since their split at The South Band Show.

Aslan quickly became popular in Dublin as word about them spread, selling out gigs and attracting A&R attention. They recorded some demos at Windmill Lane in 1983. After a couple of indie singles, a Janice Long session on BBC1 and the Stag/Hot Press Most Promising New Band award in 1986, Aslan signed to EMI Records in 1987.

Their debut LP (Feel No Shame) was a huge success and EMI took up the option for a second LP, but the band fell apart in 1988, beginning with an (acrimonious) split from lead singer Christy Dignam and his very public problems. They attempted to continue with new vocalist Eamonn Doyle but EMI dropped the band in February 1989 and Aslan split soon after, despite interest from other record companies.

Most of the band continued as PRECIOUS STONES, while Christy Dignam pursued a solo career as well as forming a duo with guitarist Conor Goff. Aslan reformed in 1993 and have released several more records. Check the official website for details.

LYRICS :
I ain't gonna lose no sleep
Ain't gonna wait for the mood to suit you...
Sometimes it gets so hard
Hard to keep together when
You're falling apart
You ain't loved me lately
You ain't loved me lately

You see, I walk with this fear alone
You ain't loving me lately
Love could not save me
You ain't loving me lately
I fought with this fear alone
You ain't loving me lately
This love could not blind me
You ain't loving, you ain't loving me lately
You ain't loved me lately
You ain't loved me lately

You know I tried, but it just ain't enough no no
You turn me on now you're ripping me up
(You ain't loved me lately) Ripping me up
You ain't loved me lately
Sometimes it feels so sharp
Cuts like a knife right through to your heart
You ain't loved me lately
You ain't loved me lately

I walk with this fear alone
You ain't loving me lately
Love could not save me
You ain't loving me lately
I fought with this fear alone
You ain't loving me lately
This love could not blind me
You ain't loving, loving me

You turn me on when you don't even try
Turn me, you'll never know, never know why
You'll never know why
I walk with this fear alone
You ain't loving me lately
Love could not save me
You ain't loving me lately
I fought with this fear alone
You ain't loving me lately
This love could not blind me
You ain't loving, you ain't loving me

(You ain't loving me lately) Loving me lately
(You ain't loving me lately) Loving me lately
(You ain't loving me lately) Loving me lately
(You ain't loving me lately) Loving me lately
(You ain't loving me lately) Loving me lately

But I walk and I run I don't push I don't shove
You ain't love
La la la
Loving me lately
Loving me lately
You ain't loving me loving me
You ain't loving, loving me lately
Loving me lately
