- Essence - Like Christ (Official Video)
The Essence are Hans: vocals & guitar, Mark: bass & keyboards and George: drums, an alternative, gothic rock/popband. Their unique sound varies from sheer power to dreamy ballads, ever changing, evolving, sometimes reminiscent of vintage Cure or a postmodern Pink Floyd. After four albums and a 'best of' album, musically the band matured way beyond their original aspirations. As a live band, The Essence built a strong reputation with their powerful, passionate and atmospheric concert performances.
Formed in 1984 in their highschool days, The Essence signed to Midnight Music after a year of gigging. In September 1985 the collaboration resulted in the release of their debut album "Purity" preceded by the 12" single "Endless Lakes", which were both received very well, especially in Holland and Germany. A track very popular with the radio- and club-DJ's was "The Cat", which was remixed and released as a second 12".
1987 saw the release of the follow-up album "A Monument of Trust" and the single "A Mirage", a catchy tune that made the top 10 in Spain. It was then, that The Essence started to tour Europe extensively, building up a strong and faithful following in, amongst others, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
The popularity of the group continued to grow with the release of the third album "Ecstasy" in 1988. The videos of the singles "Only For You" and "Like Christ" (1990) got regular airplay on MTV. Until the end of 1990, the band successfully toured throughout Europe.

Same genre as The Cure but not copycats at all. The Essence has their own sound. Explore their whole catalog.
Memories watching this video on MTV Europe's 120 Minutes with Paul King in 1991 in the middle of the shoegazing era.

LYRICS:
I walk into an open field
My eyes run-down and my feet just torture
Me somehow, me somehow
You hold my hand, and I touch your face
I've never tasted your lips like this
Always down upon mine, down upon mine
You hold me up like Christ you say
And every word you say I simply
Adore your eyes, adorable eyes
And every word you scream is true
My mouth just never touches your
Adorable eyes, adorable eyes
All the vows that you made you stay for
Always and always
No one ever tried to doubt your
Own words, own words
I walk into an open field
You've never stroked your hair as you are
Stroking it now, stroking it now
I've never seen this hair before
My eyes just shattered
The sun strikes down upon
Your blue eyes, your true eyes
I've never touched your face once more
I've never even drawn your pure and childlike youth
I doubt if you
Have seen me kneeling down, I crawl
At your feet, I have no doubt at
All no more, all no more
I move into another world for
Always and always
I've never run so fast again
I stare upon, stare upon those eyes
A thousand eyes
I stare at your eyes somehow
Ice somehow
I walk into an open field
My eyes run-down and my feet just torture
Me somehow, me somehow
You fall into my arms again
I'm begging you to stay
I touch your hand and I cry, I cry
You hold me up like Christ you say
You never leave me again and you will
Promise to stay, you'll promise to stay
Tonight
Right on!

Dancing in the rain💪😎💪😎 claseeeeeee😊
if I had to pick between the Cure and the Essence, it would be the Essence
I'd love to hear The Cure play this song.
im a massive cure fan and quite like this song but REALLY wish you would find your own voice ...just seems like you are trying to hard to sound like robert no?! anyways i enjoyed it
ive no problem with anyone sounding similar to anyone really.. just seemed like it was being abit forced. anyways i liked it ;p
I mean it sounds wonderful so why dose it matter
Let's hear your voice!? Don't complain about others until you have your own! Yeah I like the Cure but for personal reasons always loved this band a lot more. The whole Ecstasy/Nothing lasts forever album alone is much better than any one full album the Cure ever had combined in my opinion. Like I said, for personal reasons.
If that is his voice, it is his voice... Maybe when singing at a different tone or pitch he doesn't sound as clean...
