Ascension Day

Mark Hollis, chanteur de Talk Talk, est mort hier, à l'âge de 64 ans. Avec son groupe, et notamment leurs derniers albums Spirit of Eden (1988) Laughing Stock (1991), il est l'un des précurseurs du "post-rock" (grosse influence de Bark Psychosis par exemple). A écouter également : l'album solo de Mark Hollis (1998).

Bet I'll be damned

Built the debt, I turned twos up today

Bet I'll be damned

Gets harder to sense the sail

Farewell

Mother numb to and devout to

Reckon luck sees us the same

Weighted my hand

Kill the bet, I'll burn on judgement day

Weighted my hand

Get hard hit to sense the sail

Farewell

Mother numb to and devout to

Double deal a season wrapt too lax to lapse so soon

Reckon luck sees us the same

Bed on my back

Dealt my hell, I've dealt my months of May

Bed on my back

Get parted ascension day

Farewell

Mother numb to and devout to

Reckon luck sees us the same

Reckon love deals us the same
