CAN YOU TELL ME WHY MY JOY HAS GONE?
CLOSED WINDOWS I’M ON THE STREET ALONE
SEARCHIN’ FOR YOU
SINCE I’M 18 MY LIFE ‘S SLIDING DOWN
NOW YOU HATE ME AND I HATE ME TOO
AND I WISH I COULD CRY
AND I START TO THINK OF YOU
YOUR’ RE MY STARLIGHT YOU’RE MY FRIEND IN BLUE
AND I SEE YOU FAR AWAY
I CAN’T REACH YOU I’LL LOVE YOU THE SAME
EMPTY SPACES, ECHOS OF SOME VOICE
I WAS WALKING WRAPPED IN MY COAT
LOOKIN’ AT THE CROWD
ALL THESE YEARS WASTED FOR SOME DREAM
ALL MY SORROW SWALLOWED IN A DRINK
I’M STILL LOOKIN’ FOR YOU
AND I START TO THINK OF YOU
YOUR’ RE MY STARLIGHT YOU’RE MY FRIEND IN BLUE
AND I SEE YOU FAR AWAY
I CAN’T REACH YOU I’LL LOVE YOU THE SAME
THIS TIME YOU CAN TRY
THIS TIME YOU CAN TRY
TRY...TRY:..TRY...TRY...

The striking synth/goth songs on the latest from Vlimmer feel 50 stories tall, with gigantic walls of sound and bleak, ominous vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 26, 2021
