The absolute protagonist of this phase in Suede's career was Bernard.

Released on Valentine's Day 1994, Stay Together is considered the last single that features the participation of the guitarist.

The loss of his father and the constant fights with the band are the reasons for the overall gloom that can be perceived.

This will be the reason that will push Brett to renounce and detest the song in question, stating that despite the anticipation and hysteria for the new single from the fans, the final product did not convince him.

An intro of guitar effected by chorus and a memorable piano followed by a loving dedication characterized by the usual apocalyptic veil and the verve made in Anderson.

Yes, because the Suede soul is also Brett and shortly after it will be for the following decades.

The frontman, in fact, endowed with a powerful sensual and venomous charge at the same time, writes lyrics about heroin addiction that sinks a couple's relationship.

Bernard, not at all enthusiastic, considered The Living Dead just a squalid piece not worthy of being accompanied by his guitar.

My Dark Star features, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful melodies ever composed by the group, which paints against the background of the English buildings narrated the promises of ascension by the Indian girl protagonist.

Between Suede and Dog Man Star,
between beauty and squalor.
To rediscover and (re)evaluate.

03   My Dark Star (04:27)

In a hired car she will come to England from the sea
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the skyline shines the lies of the government's singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun

And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say oh how my dark star will rise

In rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattooed tear she'd die for us all tonight.

And she will come from India with a gun at her side,
Or she will come from Argentina
With her cemetery eyes that say
Oh, how my dark star will rise,

...and she will rise.

Stay Together Lyrics

Come to my house tonight,
We can be together in the nuclear sky,
And we will dance in the poison rain,
And we can stay a while in heaven today.

[CHORUS]

Stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours.

Stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers.

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream.
Will I see you up in paradise?
Or have you come to touch me?

Come to my arms tonight,
You and me together under electric light.
She will dance in the poisoned air,
Just you and me forever by the motorway there.

[CHORUS]

Come to my arms I'm lost,
Just you and me together in the year of the horse.
Single file in the nuclear night,
And we can feel a little closer as we tumble through the sky.

[CHORUS]

[REPEAT CHORUS]
