Rating: It wasn't easy to decide whether to talk about "Instinct" or "Empathy", the only two albums released by Mandalay during their relatively short musical career.
If I had to choose an adjective to describe this album, I think "intimate" would suffice.
Listening to this hidden beauty can open the doors to bittersweet scenarios, and, for once, I want to think positively and focus on the 'sweet' part of the word.
A couple sitting in the backseat of a car on an autumn night, the CD starts.
They embrace and stroke each other's arms, hair. Neither speaks, a almost opiate-like calm surrounds the ethereal singing.
Nothing more, nothing else is needed. Moments that seem endless.
("Too Much Room")
Simple review, just as they were. Pure and straight to the heart.
Try them.
Tracklist Lyrics and Samples
02 You Forget (05:04)
Give to you
Only so you'll believe
And my desire
I'm dead without
Your rush and pull
Hard to forget
It numbs the soul
I need to know
Relishes fear
That you wear so well
It leaves me colder
Hating this thing
I always see
I'm always saying something
I always said
It's not the end of something
I'll stand alone
I never meant to hurt you
I always do
It makes no sense
But you forget
This time it's clear
To you I'm here but
Your love's the same and
Intent aside
We're night and day
Still you forget
How it numbs the soul
I need to know
Only with you that
I keep myself from all I know
Hating this thing
I always see
I'm always saying something
I always said
It's not the end of something
I'll stand alone
I never meant to hurt you
I always do
It makes no sense
What I do
I never mean
Je sais je sais
Je sais je sais
I always see
I'm always saying something
I always said
It's not the end
I understand
What I did
I never meant to hurt you
I always do
It makes no sense what I do

05 Not Seventeen (04:17)
You're not seventeen
To be missing him like
You do
Knowing him like
You do
He said how can I
Still be missing you
I'll be missing you
'Till you're missing me
How can I feel
I'm not innocent
And I know that I could
I'm not seventeen
And I know that you're not
To blame
And if I could
Reason
I'd settle this thing
Still be missing you
I'll be missing you
'Till you're missing me
How can I feel
'Till you're touching me alone
Still be missing you
'Till you talk to me alone
I'll be missing you
'Till you talk to me eternal
'Till you're missing me
Come to me yourself
How can I feel
Still be missing you
This is how
I'll be missing you
'Till you're missing me
How can I feel ...
