    Words Are Dead Lyrics:
    I wanna buy you roses
    'Cause the words are dead,
    Follow in the blindness
    On the arrow head
    'Cause the words are dead
    And you know it
    Yeah the words are dead
    Lower them down
    Didn't know if you could
    Deny the dead,
    Leaving them in silence
    On their moldy bed
    Oh I am numb
    And over
    Their kingdom come
    Lower me down
    They are dead, they are dead
    Oh, don't cry for me,
    Oh, don't cry for me,
    Oh, don't cry for me,
    Oh, don't you cry for me
    Lower them down in the ground
    Lower them down in the ground

    As a long-time Smiths fan, I can honestly say this is the Smiths song that the Smiths wish they'd written. Instrumentation that Johnny Marr would be proud of, and a sense of longing and loss in the lyrics as powerful and moving as anything Morrissey ever wrote. Leaves me in tears every time I hear it.

    Liebe Agnes, ich habe dich schon live gesehen und man hat mir nun für 2022 Karten zu einem Konzert von Dir gegeben. Eigentlich habe ich angst vor dem was mich erwartet, weil ich weiss wie Deine Musik mich berührt und Du willst ja nicht in Reihe 1 immer jemanden weinen sehen. Ich finde Du bist eine Künstlerin die mit Ihrer Musik so tief Menschen berührt. Komposition und Text. Danke für die Emotionen die das Leben so schön machen.

      Yep. So i do......There's something special here..I don't know what...I listen "The Curse" and "Dorian" along the confinment period in France, and i think this was the "perfect soundtrack", and the lyrics of "The Curse" are quite "visionnary" ? :
      "And the people went into their hide, ay-oh
      From the start they didn't know exactly why, why
      Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
      Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky
      It was swift, it was just another wave of a miracle
      But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
      If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon
      Only then would they know a blessing in disguise
      The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore
      And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
      The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore
      And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
      Tell me now of the very soul that look alike, look alike
      Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
      If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon
      Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise
      The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore
      And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
      And the curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore
      And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

    I've begun to think that there's a system in place in this site, to set the Dislike counter to 1% to 3% of total Likes in a video... or at least that there are a few professional haters out there who religiously visit videos to dislike them.
    Those are the only logical explanations that I have when I see the greatness and beauty of a video such as this, and see the dislikes it has (which should be none). D.R.
