Aztec Camera - We Could Send Letters (C81)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2008
- The b-side included on Aztec Camera's first release (Just Like Gold) was featured on the legendary C81 casette that came on the NME magazine (thanks to an alliance between Rough Trade records and the New Musical Express) in 1981.
The version featured on this casette has a slightly different arrangement thant the one featured on the original Postcard Single. Enjoy!
You said youre free, for me that says it all.
Youre free to push me and Im free to fall.
So if we weaken we can call it stress,
Youve got my trust Ive got your home address.
And now the only chance that we could take,
Is the chance that someone else wont make it all come true.
Were making tracks, they show our touch and go,
And now its touch and come and you should know.
But then four years wont mean that much to me,
When Ive been smothered by the sympathy you bleed.
Chorus:
Just close your eyes again
Until these things get better
Youre never far away
But we could send letters.
While you were gone I reached another town,
They couldnt help me but they showed me round,
And now Ive seen what you cant understand,
Id try to lead you but Id crush your hand.
Because the people in the village know, it doesnt matter
Where you choose to go the ends the same.
I found some blood I wasnt meant to find
I found some feelings that wed left behind
But then some blood wont mean that much to me
When Ive been smothered by the sympathy you bleed.
Chorus:
Just close your eyes again
Until these things get better
Youre never far away
But we could send letters.
Absolutely love this track.
The acoustic guitar in the brdge is so beautiful, so is Roddy Frames vocal.
I read he was 16 when he wrote this!
Takes me back , to better times
Wow, this song brings back memories.
"We could send emails" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
I discovered MUSIC with aztec camera and this is the second best song for me, after Walk out to winter. Glad to know there are people who still love aztec camera. From Mallorca.
A work of pure genius from when we really were one nation
Ive never heard this version before!
Its got an urgency that the LP version lacks and is way more potent for it.
Beautiful version. A talent indeed.
Gorgeous tune.
Sounds right for the now,never mind the then !!
all these great POSTCARD RECORDS from 1979 - AUGUST 1981 what a great run== so many band all around the world =lots of bands from down under ripped off these YOUNG sCOTTLAND BANDS-- NOW LOTS BROOKLYN AND USA OUTFITS ARE DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN..

Great version of a fantastic song of a brilliant band. Aztec Camera could have become as big as The Smiths, but after the first record some things went wrong....
Thanks so much for this post. The C81 cassette was a treat, and this was my favourite song on it.
wow.....amazing find. thanx a billion for posting this. never heard this version. love its rawness....still sounds like it belongs on alternative radio now.
i would love these songs on CD. Where are they???? Don't be ashamed of your indie past dear Aztec Camera man
What a rare and delicious treat! Oh Roddy I've loved your music since I was a wee girl!
Love, Astral Lass
