The Tindersticks, or the art of immobility.
Having reached their sixth studio album, the Tindersticks do not change course. Take any of their works, listen to it carefully, and then identify the characteristics of their music.
The adjectives most will use are: dark, noir, melancholic, romantic, sad, introspective, nocturnal. Someone might say cheesy or whiny, but the meaning, albeit negative, will remain the same.
Well, now listen to "Waiting For The Moon" and you will realize that these adjectives will never change for the Tindersticks. In fact, from album to album, their stylistic imprint does not change even by a comma, it remains the same.
For some, this can be a good thing. In fact, many will be happy to "discover" the same sounds year after year.
For me, on the other hand, all this can translate into boredom.
Let’s be clear, by this I do not mean that "Waiting For The Moon" is a horrendous record. It still presents some interesting episodes like the spoken word of "4.48 Psychosis" or the country ballad "Just A Dog".
However, everyone who has already had the chance in the past to consume large doses of Tindersticks can easily do without this album.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Until the Morning Comes (03:35)
My hands â ~round your throat
If I kill you now, well, they will never know
Wake me up if I'm sleeping
By the look in your eyes I know the time's nearly come
Wake me up â ~cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe what's been happening here
But caught in my mind there's a way to get out
Wake me up â ~cause I'm dreaming
Well they'll never believe it
So hush now, my babe, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes
So tell me this is what you want
You can whisper it soft or you can scream it out loud
â ~Cause there's still time to change your mind
But do it now before tomorrow comes
Wake me up â ~cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe it
So hush now, my babe, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes
Until the morning comes
The light is fading
But the stars are dancing bright
My mind is racing like clouds across the sky
How did you make me go... this far?
03 Sweet Memory (04:30)
Watching the days go by isn't half the fun it used to be
When I could reach out from inside the folds of your skin
Watching the sun rush by isn't as half as good now it's all silent â ~round here
Over the memory - the folds of your skin
And I never wanna spend another day, not a single moment from your side
No, I don't even wanna spend another day, not a single moment from your side
Over the memory - the folds of your skin
Over sweet memory - and I can taste no other
Came running from nowhere fast, came stumbling at me through the dark
Breaking right through my skin - and I can taste no other
Came like lightning in my arms, came tearing through the night
Inside the memory - I can taste no other
And I never wanna spend another day, not a single moment from your side
No, I don't even wanna spend another day, not a single moment from your side
Still running forwards and backwards I'm inside and outside your love
And over the memory - I can taste no other
Over sweet memory - I can see no other
Came like lightning through my heart - folds of your skin
Watching the sun ... by - I can taste no other
06 Trying to Find a Home (05:44)
Still trying to find a reason
Still trying to find a home
Just some place to spread my things in
A place from where I can run
Came from so far so silent
You saw the stars above
Your smiling faces cheer up
Take what we never had
The lowered sun
Brings another memory
I held in my head
So I can see
Every colour you were wearing
Every colour in your eyes
Came from far so silent
You saw the stars above
Your smiling faces cheer up
Take what we never had
And I hear you whisper
“Where are you?"
And I see my hand
Upon your skin
I can feel me searching for you
Still trying to find a home
And there’ll come a time
When everything’s so tough
Everything’s apart
Trying to find a home
We’re so near
We’re so apart
