Album - Dusk
Song - Love is Stronger than Death
Date - June 1993
Status - Not Acquired
Record companies generally like songs about whipping your hair and videos full lithe young women, not songs about death accompanied by videos which graphically depict the onset of death. Not really a foot tapper kind of thing. then in the early 90's weird, self-aware bands with strange names and deep thoughtful songs seamed to find a broader audience at that time. There wasn't anything big and horrible going on in the world. It just seemed like a lot of people where tired of all the smiling and wanted the freedom to be serious even if all there needs had been provided for. The The fits the bill nicely. Love is Stronger than Death is wise, melancholy and honest. Its about the meaning of life, but yeah, you can still tap your foot to it.
