"A bittersweet take on the masks and illusions
within relationships. The games we play and the emotions we hide. This
track went through many different incarnations during production. The Eastern
guitar sounds and vibed mix from Mike Pela in London brought the song closer
to its original goals. Originally the song was influenced by Seal....but
the sound soon changed during the recording process.Now it is a hybrid
of influences. If you listen closely you will hear string arrangements
like old Diana Ross and The Supremes records - all in unison and layered
amidst the throbbing bass and anchored by the almost dance beat" -Darren
Hayes
tears of pearls, midi file, version
1
And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and
we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearls devotions we keep locked away from all
the world
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you
bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you
in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearls devotions we keep locked away from all
the world
We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you
All these mixed emotions
We keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearls devotions we keep locked away from all
the world |
