MOTHER, CLOSE THE DOOR – The Vampire's Wife

MOTHER, CLOSE THE DOOR, The Vampire's Wife, Stuff Here is the most gorgeous of songs by the most wonderful of bands, the mighty Low. The band’s statement was so moving.
“Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but
She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.”
RIP Mimi Parker. The most beautiful soul.
Love Susie. x

Laser Beam

I don't need a laser beam

I don't need the time

Leave me in the car tonight

Rest your drunken mind

I need your grace

Alone

Lesser things are on your mind

Don't you think I know?

Will this poison scar my eyes?

Mother, close the door

I need your grace

Alone

I don't need a laser beam

Songwriters: George Alan Sparhawk / Zak Micheletti / Mimi J Parker

THE CARNIVAL IS OVER

I have just a simple song for you all from 1967, all the way from Australia (where my husband is), by The Seekers. I love this song, melancholy but so stirring, and Judith Durham, dressed in what looks like something from the archives of The Vampire’s Wife, is so touching. It is a song full of tears about the end of things and love’s enduring presence. We adore this song here at The Vampire’s Wife.

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!
