MYSTERIOUS MERMAID CHANT

I literally know nothing about this strange piece of music except that it was sent to me by a mysterious person, with the words ‘Mermaid Chant’ attached. All very puzzling. Upon listening to the song I fell into dream, a reverie, an abstraction, and a far-a-way place. Beautiful. Love Susie x

TIME AFTER TIME, LITTLE JIMMY SCOTT

Look at this heart-breaking piece of film of Little Jimmy Scott singing Time After Time and giving his thoughts on what a song is meant to be. He is a vast talent and a beautiful man; we met him at my husband’s Meltdown Festival in London in 1999.

TO DIE BY YOUR SIDE

I heard this wonderful version of The Smiths classic song "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" by the brilliantly ebullient Dum Dum Girls on the DJ Lonny’s amazing Cover to Cover on Radio Lewes this week. What a great show! What a superb song! What a joyful cover! ‘To die by your side is pleasure and a privilege’ indeed!

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

What a brilliant piece of pop magic! There is a Light that Never Goes Out by The Smiths. A gorgeous lunatic lyric with a swooningly joyful melody. I love this song. I love this band. We adore The Smiths here at The Vampire’s Wife.
