David Sylvian - Thalheim

David Sylvian - Thalheim
Found on Dead Bees on a Cake. Copyright: Virgin Records Ltd.

( Thalheim is only ten kilometers away from my home :D )

Couldn't leave you if I tried
Couldn't weather this alone
And through the darkness you still provide
The sweetest love I've ever known

Take the shadow from the road I walk upon
Be my sunshine, sunshine
And in the emptiness
You look and find someone
The damage is undone
And love has made you strong
And Heaven gave me mine, Thalheim

The saddest words have come undone
Changing the very air I breathe
And miracles have just begun
In which only you and I believe

Take the shadow from the road I walk upon
Be my sunshine, sunshine
And in the weightlessness
You look and find someone
The damage is undone
And love has made you strong
Heaven gave me mine, Thalheim

When I'm all at sea
You never let me down
I'll just keep coming back to you
'Til I walk on solid ground
From the foothills to the mountains
On the waters of the Rhine
Face to face in Shahbagh gardens
In communion, out of time

Thalheim, Thalheim

From the lilies of the valley
To the grapes upon the vine
The well of speculation
Is it his or hers or mine?

Thalheim, Thalheim

In the everything and nothing
In disharmony and rhyme
In the sound of shot and echo
Who's the victim, what's the crime?
What's the crime?

Be my, be my sunshine

In the keening cries of evening
Unforgotten, underlined
We slipped into the water
Out of focus, out of time.

thanks for posting htis, i really dont know how old is this... but i recently got it, and i really like bees in a cake.

[DavidDeluxe]

It came out in 1999. I just got my copy of Manafon, certainly an interesting development.

[ModestoMuniz]

Magnificnt, Gorgeus, and yet Malicholic..My favourite (with Nostalgia) from the great David

@amiarage That's because it IS David Sylvian singing on World Citizen. Isn't the first song they made together. A lot of the songs on Sylvian's "secrets of the beehive" are made together with Sakamoto.

[amiarage]

David Sylvian sounds nearly identical to Ryuichi Sakamoto on "World Citizen"

[fincukast]

beautiful!

[torrealemanna]

HIS VOICE MEMEMBER ME FRE BONGUSTO AN ITALIAN SINGER.

LOOK FOR HIM.

[nataliekrauss]

Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?

[OkamiSonataX]

I love the mood and atmosphere of this song.

@pavel108108 Thalheim is a city in Germany where a famous Indian teacher, known as Mother Meera, made her home. It is said she communicates with people telephathically and transmits direct experience of transcendent consciousness. This song is not about romantic love for another person - it is an ode to spiritual love for this woman.

A fascinating book on the subject is Hidden Journey by Andrew Harvey. He then broke with Meera and Wrote Sun At Midnight.
