THE REVIEW

A waltz.

It's easy to think of the couple tenderly dancing, perhaps in tears.

We could live
for a thousand years
but if I hurt you
I'd draw wine from your tears.

I told you
we could fly,
because we all have wings
but some of us don't know why.

Few words, well used, to make it clear that the waltz in question is nothing but the search for warmth amidst the cold, the storm.

The awareness of knowing that you possess something important, that is, cohesion.

The "wings", we know we have them.
It's not just a simple love song.

You perceive from the start this atmosphere of tension.
Inside there's an underlying malaise that you try to sweep away by dancing.
It's an embrace.

Tracklist Lyrics

01   Never Tear Us Apart (03:02)

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I, I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why...

I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apart

I (don't ask me)
I was standing (you know it's true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (we're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart

You (don't ask me)
You were standing (you know it's true)
I was there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (we're shining through)
And they could never tear us apart

I... I was standing

02   Different World (7" mix) (04:17)
