- I did a remaster for this song...probably the cleanest sound for this mix of the song you will find anywhere. Secession was Scottish synth band fronted by the late Peter Thomson. They released 8 singles and 1 album over the span of their career from 1983 to 1987.

Dark Enchantment was, and remains to this day, one of my favorite albums of the 80s!
Great album!
I don't understand why this wasn't a bigger hit here in the US. This song is pure prillance!
Such a chill vibe 😎
thank you. i will be listening to this for the upcoming 100 years
I just love this song too. I wish Secession had done more music. Unfortunately their time as a band only spans 4 years. I often wonder what could have been. Their earliest music sounds very much like early New Order or Joy Division. Then much like New Order, over the next few years their sound became more polished and poppier. I always thought of this song and Bizarre Love Triangle as musical cousins.
DJPR3P bang on man. I agree 100% with what you said. Secession remains one of my favorite more obscure 80s bands. along with Boxcar, Vicious Pink, Altered Images, etc, etc. stuff like that. you get the idea. thx for sharing
I was *convinced* this was by New Order, it is that close - and yes, Bizarre Love Triangle is joined at the hip. Quality stuff!
One of my favorite songs of all time. I can vividly remember recording the mix on Live 105 on Friday night in San Francisco and this song played on the radio. Fell in love with it and reminds me of a much simpler time in life.
Live 105! haha yeah, thank you Steve Masters 😄
I was also living in the Bay Area (Oakland) in the late 80s when I was in the Army stationed at the old Oakland Army Base and first heard this song and band. Bought the CD at the Tower Records store in Berkeley.
that's where i know it from too
When I started to hear this in the clubs, I never heard this group before in the late 80s. I looked for it and for some reason it was really hard to find bc at the time it only came out on import and a low distribution of this record. I guess the US release never happened, so I couldn’t find this record.
Also. Ended up working at a popular record store in 1990 for about 3 years and many came in looking for this song and we didn’t have. Finally someone bootlegged it with Cube “Love’s Taboo” on the other side and sold like hot cakes. A customer found one in a used record store for $100. and even with the bootleg now out, I wanted the original import 12”. So I traded him 2 rare hip hop records and got the record. He knew it was bootlegged and now selling at my store and said he felt bad, but I thought I got the better deal. I ended up finding another copy for a lot less and now still have 2 copies of this gen.
Anyone else enjoying this song in 2020 while reminiscing in the awesome music of the 80's/90's and wishing the opportunity to relive days past?
If the chance were mine, you know I'd go
But all along you made that easy for me
If I had the chance to gaze again upon the ocean
Tell me, what would I see?
An empty sky
An empty sea
A violent place
For us to be
Give it up now baby
C'mon, c'mon darlin'
You'll never understand the pain you've caused me
You spin my head around
Kick me when I'm down
I found my feet again, now I can't lose
Now I'm on a street
Full of people passing by
And they're all laughing at me
Then I'm in a room without a door
And all the walls are closing in on me
An empty sky
A violent sea
All these things
You are to me
Give it up now baby
C'mon, c'mon darlin'
You'll never understand the pain you've caused me
You spin my head around
Kick me when I'm down
I found my feet again, now I can't lose
I played the fool for you
Broke the rules for you
I've taken everything you threw in my direction
I had to break away
So you're the fool today
You'll never understand the joy it gave me
An empty sky
A violent sea
The magician
And I don't need to be afraid
The skies are blue
The seas are blue
Now that I'm away from you
Give it up now baby
C'mon, c'mon darlin'
You'll never understand the pain you've caused me
You spin my head around
Kick me when I'm down
I found my feet again, now I can't lose
I played the fool for you
Broke the rules for you
I've taken everything you threw in my direction
I had to break away
So you're the fool today
You'll never understand the joy it gave me
The magician showed me the way
And he says that here I can stay
And I don't need to be afraid
Cause you can't unlock the gates
And the skies are blue
And the seas are blue
Now that I'm away from you
Give it up now baby
C'mon, c'mon darlin'
You'll never understand the pain you've caused me
You spin my head around
Kick me when I'm down
I found my feet again, now I can't lose
I played the fool for you
Broke the rules for you
I've taken everything you threw in my direction
I had to break away
So you're the fool today
You'll never understand the joy it gave me
Still listening in Feb 2023. First discovered Secession in 1988.
Unfairly forgotten.
I've listened to this about 18 times today
Absolutely great mix ... I have no idea how you can make an remaster without the original recording material, but it sounds perfect. Thank you so much for doing this!
First time i ever heard Secession was in 1992 and it was the 12" for Promise and i was hooked. What draws me to (and makes their songs great) them was the whole break-up/disappointment theme that encompassed their songs. bittersweet! arrogant catchy and so cool. i looked for the 12 inch's of their singles for awhile, and found 'em fairly cheap hiding in record bins at various stores here in Florida ;-).. gone but NEVER forgotten! and yes, good remaster
One of the greatest songs ever recorded! Thank you DJPR3P for sharing. Takes me back to those summer weekends club hopping in Houston during the late 80's and early 90's. Miss the clubs like #'s, NRG, Excess, 6400, Lizard Lounge, etc.

Numbers is a Houston classic.
Hell yeah, I know what you mean, I'm from Houston too! Great times.
such a great song....timeless!!!
Still a banger.
This is why you are the best DJ ever! Then, in that small little apartment, now, and always! One of my favorites! Love ya T!!!
Best time of My life and I had no clue at the time. That's how time works tho right, you never know when your enjoying it the most till it's all over. Here's to the 80's and maybe early 90's.
I know this comment is 4 yrs old but it hit home.for me. I agree with everything you said.
Thank you. This song is legendary, the anthem for my youth!
Steve Masters used to play this a lot back in the 80’s on the modern rock station The Quake in SF
this song always reminds me of Steve Masters Live 105 mixes circa 1988
Whoever disliked this, we can't be friends.
Classic
So great .
Thank you, unfortunately youtube's compression makes it sound a little "lossey," The wav is not.
Outstanding cleanup job. On the large data pipe from work, this sounds better than the CD I have.
support the georgia bush familia hahhhaahaahahahah
AWESOME
STILL
Thanks for this excellent remaster. Great tune.
Thanks for this. How did you remaster it?
Excellent quality!! :-D You rock!!
Sounds great! Thank you. Love this.
Congrats!
First time on live 105, Steve Master Sat nights mix 22:00-01:00. Free Radio has never been that good.
Yessss🎉🎉🎉💜💛
Why tf isn’t this on Spotify 😭😓
it is now. not the 12" mix but the album is on there.
sfgooner70 Thank you for the heads up. Found it on Apple Music. Bought the original cassette at Tower Records on Columbus Street in San Francisco. A Dark Enchantment is such a great album top to bottom.
@@erictoniaschwab1009 I bought my CD at the Berkeley Tower Records back in 1989 when I was in the Army stationed at the old Oakland Army Base! I am glad I did because you can't find that CD anywhere now!
The pecky peck mix, which this is, is incredible. I think I still have the 12 inch single
omg - wow
