Nevermore - Silent Hedges/Double Dare (Bauhaus Cover)

From the In Memory EP

Lyrics:
Silent Hedges:
"Following the silent hedges
Needing some other kind of madness
Looking into purple eyes
Sadness at the corners
Works of art with a minimum of steel

Pure sensation
The beautiful down grade
Going to hell again
Going to hell again

Self confidence leaks
From a thousand wounds
Faults of civilization
Burning the private paradise of dreams
Minus hands of the electric clock
Clock x3

What happens when the intoxication of success has evaporated?

Pure sensation
The beautiful down grade
Going to hell again
Going to hell again
Again"

Double Dare:
"I dare you, to be real
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright

Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to speak of your despise
For bureaucracy, hypocracy- all liars

I dare
I dare
I dare- you- you "

Great cover.

[DarthCormac]

Look, these are big shoes to fill. Bauhaus is a great band and these are great songs Nevermore has chosen to cover.

Personally, I think Nevermore did the originals justice. Thank you.

@twistoffate350 Well Goth is a cooler chiller kind off music. Bishounen loners with mascara smoking cigarretes while looking gloomy. thats goth! Metal is more passionate. More of a balls to the wall feeling. This is a good cover. But goth is cool. Type O Negative is pretty awesome for example. They kind off mix the cool distance off goth with the passion and power of metal.

@SilentIvo Matter of taste is right. To ME personally, this is one of those cases where I like the medley/cover better than the original songs, and I am a bauhaus fan.

@twistoffate350 what you call monotonous and bland, I call balanced and atmospheric. When, you say it has more emotion and depth, to me it just sounds like they're trying too hard to make it sound like that. It's a mistake metal bands tend to make, they think a song has to have this sort of glorious, emotive, fast tone to be good, but I think that's somewhat a lack of sensibility and experimentation. But that's just the metal style, some like it, some don't. It's just a matter of taste.

Wow...

Space and Meaning. You're correct, but there are those who would also argue that this song, and the original have the intent of making the listener feel a 'falling-inwards' sensation'. If anything, Nevermore have simply broadened and amplified this affect. Then again, most of the kids here would never have ever checked in on it if they weren't so cool, smoking their cigarettes, trying to be kids off of South Park. Ah, wait, have I mentioned how incredibly gifted Jeff Loomis is? S C A R Y

[TheLightofHonor]

A perfect performance. I only wish it had been recorded appropriately. But, given the equipment involved, it's utterly legendary. I dare you....to try this at home and arrive at such a conclusion.

[Santinferno]

I only like the work of the singer. This is a metal version. That's all.

Bauhaus makes minimalistic music, everything has its space and meaning.

[twistoffate350]

I don't understand why everyone hates when Warrel touches a goth song. He ALWAYS puts more emotion into his singing and the music is ALWAYS more in depth and interesting. It tells more of a story when the music itself isn't so monotonous and bland. And to say it's a "distorted mess" is ass backwards. The bass distortion of the original songs is far more obnoxious and cheap sounding.

[1longshot3]

I prefer this over the original
