lyrics
When I was a boy...
way back in 1983...
...and the television was my holy spirit
It showered me with sitcom moralities...
That were plumed with technicolour commandments:
Get a girl
Get a house
Have a family
And if it all goes wrong?
Do it again.
That... was the televised truth.
The funny thing about truth...
It’s twisty. It’s.... malleable.
It’s as real as a mirage inside of a dream.
One day when the holy spirit wasn’t looking...
...a smoky silhouette approached me
...and I inhaled, desperate for the scent of him.
It was a clandestine moment...
His eyes, like fire...
I wanted to burn.
And the silence cracks
As the angels rage
And the wolves howl
As my lovely jinn sings
I wanted to burn…
I am the flame
You are the heat
Let’s burn together
Inside the beat
way back in 1983...
...and the television was my holy spirit
It showered me with sitcom moralities...
That were plumed with technicolour commandments:
Get a girl
Get a house
Have a family
And if it all goes wrong?
Do it again.
That... was the televised truth.
The funny thing about truth...
It’s twisty. It’s.... malleable.
It’s as real as a mirage inside of a dream.
One day when the holy spirit wasn’t looking...
...a smoky silhouette approached me
...and I inhaled, desperate for the scent of him.
It was a clandestine moment...
His eyes, like fire...
I wanted to burn.
And the silence cracks
As the angels rage
And the wolves howl
As my lovely jinn sings
I wanted to burn…
I am the flame
You are the heat
Let’s burn together
Inside the beat

Diamonds

The more I listen to this the more trouble I have choosing favorite track. I also still think this is witchhouse. Also I think your cover art is incredibly good. But I don't think it is best of your art anymore. I'll switch to Crush for a moment.

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 21 fans who also own “My Lovely Jinn”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
