  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ส.ค. 2024
  • The Beautiful South was an English pop group formed at the end of the 1980s by two former members of Hull group The Housemartins, Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway. Other members were Sean Welch (bass), Dave Stead (drums) and Dave Rotheray (guitar) and a succession of female vocalists - Briana Corrigan, Jacqui Abbott and Alison Wheeler.
    The group broke up in January 2007, claiming the split was due to "musical similarities",having sold around 15,000,000 records worldwide. In January 2009, it was announced that the former members Dave Hemingway, Alison Wheeler, and Dave Stead would reform under the name "New Beautiful South" which was later changed to "The South".

    Lyrics
    This is the dinner prepared
    This is the dress that I made
    This is the child I brought up
    And this is the woman you laid
    This is the woman you laid
    This is the perfume I wore
    This is the hotel we stayed
    This is the way that I lay
    And this is the woman you laid
    This is the woman you laid
    We promise ourselves this is no one-night stand
    Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band
    And I'm thrilled by gentlest touch of your hand we pretend
    There's a tear, there's a tear
    Not through confusion through fear, through fear
    This is the smile that I wore
    This is the song that we played
    This is the way that I lay
    And this is the woman you laid, this is the woman you laid
    Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret
    A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette
    But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet
    Can't pretend
    It's a tear, it's a tear
    Not through confusion, through fear, through fear
    And knowing at least that love came so near
    Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
    Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone
    Root out the photos you've already shown
    'cause this is one night you won't sleep alone
    Just one night
    There's a tear there's a tear
    Not through confusion through fear, through fear
    And knowing at least that love came so near
    Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear
    There's a tear, there's a tear
    Not through confusion, through fear
    Not through confusion, through fear.

      Brianna Corrigan. According the the biography written about the band, she left because she started to feel uncomfortable with the darker tone Paul Heaton's lyrics were taking, particularly in songs about relationships (she pretty much refused to sing 'Mini-Correct' for example.) She then tried to make a solo career for herself, but never achieved the heights she reached when she was with The Beautiful South.

    Even when I was 7 I knew some of those drum sounds like the, bass drum, side stick and tambourine were digitized sounds,
    back then I thought they used a Roland SC-55 Sound Canvas sound module but it's actually a Roland R-8 drum machine. I think
    the drummer probably used a mix of acoustic and electronic drums. Back in the day I probably thought the organ sounds came from a
    Casio keyboard as my CT-700 has an organ that sounds the same but if a keyboard was used it would most likely be a Korg or a
    Kurzweil but the tremolo sounds suggest maybe they could have used a Hammond although with a professional keyboard you
    can get that tremolo effect by using the modulation wheel, something my Casio CT-700 does not have!
