The Sisters
Of Mercy – Marian
Today’s
post is particularly about one song. It’s called Marian and features on the
album titled “First And Last And Always” which was released by The Sisters Of
Mercy in 1985. It’s a Wayne Hussey composition with lyrics written by Andrew
Eldritch who recalls that “Marian is a very special song, it’s not like any of
the other songs. I wrote it in ten minutes, usually the lyrics take me up to
half a year”. Marian was covered by many various artists and it achieved some
kind of cult status on the gothic music scene. In conclusion, I recommend to
watch and listen to original album version of this song and one of these covers
made by Belgian band Poesie Noire ( links below ).
