    Some people think this is two different worlds but for me it's all the same...growing up in the neighborhood but having that gothic dark attitude inside. Makes all the sense in the world to me. Love it!

    I grew up in Southern California during the late 80s-early 90s. I would go to these little local shows and just stare at the beautiful Hispanic Goth community. They are like the living embodiment of art, Im 42 and I still swoon in amazement by the aesthetic, music and spirit.

    The youth has taken the step much higher in the 80s music and techno wash it much harder music which sounds awesome and great , keep it strong for the minds who love to challenge great sounds instead of violence.

    I keep finding my favorite...I think this one is my ultimate favorite. Production, music video...When you casually run into your goth friends in a music video x) Ashlee Swan! That groovy, heavy bassline is dope. Diggin that psychedelic rock / 80s synth pop voice with the darkwave feels

    PSB fan all my life, 300+ disks in my collection and I like the fact PRAYERS have not done a straight cover of 'west end girls', to me its a completely different track with a little inspiration from PSB. I can imagine playing this loud whilst driving.

    I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I grew up a gangster from Albuquerque, New Mexico but have ALWAYS been into the “Gothic & Dark” scene, hence why I have such a unique “street name.” Rap & Rock & Roll are DOPE AF especially when done together! I have loved the darker bands such as Morbid Angel, GWAR, Ozzy Osbourne, HIM, Aiden (especially William Control).......this is the best of both worlds put together!!!! Keep doing yo thang Leafar Sayer!!!! Amore carnale from that Duke City Burque 505 Nuevo Mexico!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊

Its 2015 I don't think everything should make complete sense to everyone. Its kinda like "take it how u want to take it"... the vid is unusual in a cool way cause its 2 diff world ur not used to seeing together.

    *LETRA*
    Sometimes
    Sometimes
    Sometimes
    You're better off dead
    There's a gun in your hand
    And it's pointed at your head
    Sometimes
    Sometimes
    You think you're mad, too unstable
    Kicking in chairs, knocking down tables
    In a restaurant, in a west end town
    Call the police, there's a madman around
    Underground, in a west end town
    East end boys, west end girls (3x)
    Too many shadows, whispering voices
    Faces on posters, too many choices
    Too many choices
    In a west end town, a dead end world
    The east end boys, and the west end girls
    East end boys, west end girls (2x)
    Got a heart of glass, a heart of stone
    Just you wait until I take you home
    Until I take you home
    We've got no future, got no past
    Here today, built to last
    Here today
    Built to last
    In a west end town, a dead end world
    The east end boys, and the west end girls
    East end boys, west end girls (4x)

    Well done Prayers. It is a gothic tribute in recognition of a duo that has influenced so many genres of music: The Pet Shop Boys. As an art piece, you have made it your own. To have a tight community of friends like that to believe in your music and art, I applaud you all. San Diego is my second home and I hope to hear you live someday.

  • @n0ti5
    @n0ti5 8 років тому +7

    I like how quick everyone is to judge this great homage to the Pet Shop Boy's original. Do a little research and you will find out the lead grew up listing to them and many other new wave type music.
    Whats even funnier is the pet shop boys loved these guys so much they got them to make a music video for their 20 something track. I couldn't care less about what anybody really thinks but you got to ask yourself, are you wrong or are the Pet Shop Boys wrong?
    But then again everybody is entitled to their opinion.

    • @konajinx
      @konajinx 7 років тому +2

      The Pet Shop Boys are wrong. Lou Reed said he liked it when Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch sampled "Walk on the Wild SIde" for "Wildside." No one remembers that pile of shit all these years later, and no one will remember this. People do remember Marky Mark, however. And I'd rather listen to that garbage than this piss take.

I think someone's primo just tried to charge me 3 extra dollars to get in and then Tried to sell me a NOS balloon in the comments section while a group of girls asked me if I was old enough to go to the liquor store and hook it up with some alchohol..by tomorrow morning I expect to walk outside and find a random stranger crashed out in the back of my car Still drunk and asking where the girl/guy they got into the back seat with went..I'm not even trippen though. Still have 2 bottles of md50/50 and a roach I stashed, and i didn't get jacked or in a fight so it was a good night

    Comments,comments,comments, criticism,criticism, criticism, ......that's all it is here. But honest truth, is no one will ever accept the fact that we are not all born the same, and are not created to like the same music. So if you can't acknowledge that a boy grew up liking something like the pet shop boys,and got caught up living the life of a Cholo, and are now trying to deny acceptance of a now grown man,trying to express his life and passion with others....then shut the fuck up! Yeah,their music is simple,but raw as fuck, as well as their lyrics, but it has existence in their writing. Which is why PRAYERS are rising to the top. So haters will keep hating, and PRAYERS fans will keep loving their journey!👊

    I used to play in this cemetery as a kid, I remember one year after a posada a friend and I snuck into this cemetery to drink a beer, must have been eleven. As we hid behind a crypt we saw this ghostly figure floating a few yards away, I couldn’t believe my eyes, still can’t explain it.
