I’m such a sucker for this kinda tunes… !!!

It’s from a mid-90’s band called ADORABLE. First listened to them when a friend of mine passed me his DIY compilation of numerous Subpop and UK’s non mainstream bands… I hate to call this kinda music as Alternatives musics coz the term have been misused on numerous occasions…

APIL (the friend) got massive collection of music records straight from the UK… It was from him that I managed to listen to tunes by bands such as PIL (Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols project), The Verve (pre Bittersweet era), James and the absolutely fabulous Ned’s Atomic Dustbin (hit song - KILL YOUR TELEVISION)… APIL did a compilation of these bands and many others and sell it to friends as  "Alternative Fuzz" Compilation… It was the top selling cassette (yes… it was the cassettes era) in VI for months….

A sad note on APIL… he was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years back… Once he was found wandering on the Federal Highway trying to walk barefooted to KLIA… Currently on the road to recovery… Cheers bro…

The tune is classic Brit-pop tune… Just love the dreamy feeling with it’s mundane, dark and gloomy as the UK’s weather lyrics… This is the elixir of life!!!!

Will try to put the song in my Friendster Home….

Update - the song is already on my Friendster Profile page… happy listening

A To Fade In

I remember walking home with my father from the station
Hand in hand, and all alone in silent frustration
And the words he said to me just drifted away in the wind
Like this memory, like the photographs in my father’s house

I don’t want to be faded skin
I don’t want to fade out
I want to fade in
I want to fade in

Can you see me? I can’t see myself
Can you hear me? I can hardly hear myself
And I don’t want to be a faded memory
All I want is to be me

I don’t want to be faded skin
I don’t want to fade out
I want to fade in
I want to fade in
