Hi, Have you read the book by Steve Davis (yes snooker SD !) & Kavus Torabi - ‘Medical Grade Music’ ? Die Laughing is Kavus old band and in the book. Kavus now in Gong 🤩
So what do you do when your whole world falls apart? And what do you say to take the guilt from your heart? How many questions hold answers you cannot give? And the hope of dying becomes the only reason to live Whilst they look down, down on your life, lost in their own… Safe little world, protected by the lies believed Safe little world, conscience ignored and truth deceived Safe little world Safe little world, that fool could be you Remember those phases, hope decayed and so alone Nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide After endless nights you lost sight of the other side The guilt of failure, the last emotion cried How many times, have they held you down, In power, in their… Safe little world, protected by the lies believed Safe little world, conscience ignored and truth deceived Safe little world Safe little world, that fool could be you How many times have i wondered why, After all the years you said goodbye And even now, can't believe your lie, That you'd rather leave than let it die My jealous ways were misunderstood, Wouldn't change my words even if i could Because, because you dragged me down, Because, because you dragged me Those desperate days are now distant and long ago The pain of youth has healed as love begins grow How many questions hold answers you cannot give? And the hope of dying becomes the only reason to live Safe little world, protected by the lies believed Safe little world, conscience ignored and truth deceived Safe little world Safe little world, that fool could be you And your world comes tumbling down
Yup. Don't remember the name, but it had a giant weird looking Cleopatra eye on it. Most of the songs were basically just "we wish the 80's had never went away" crap, but this one was actually a stand out track. I listened to this track probably close to a billion times. Tried to find out more about the band, but that was before Wikipedia so I came up dry.
Me,as in myself Joanna Blake has got this song on one of my GOTHIC ROCK (into the 90's) purple-coloured CD! Thank you Again! XXX
Same.. Great compilation album!
one of the best goth bands EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet song. Beautiful lyrics and beautiful vocals.
Nice song. I wrote a screenplay/graphic novel where this song is the opening scene while a cosmopolitan skyline Like Chicago is shown.
Love the video editing, it fits with the atmosphere of the song.
It was called Goth Rock 2
It's re-released as a 4 disc boxset.
bit ly/1cr7lS6
put a . between the bit and ly and you'll find it on amazon
Not the "Die Laughing" (demo tape ordered via Organ magazine) I was looking for, but this is good.

@lcsmwiley
Yes it was. Mick Mercer's Gothic Rock 2.Many many moons ago...
This ain't off a Goth Compilation 2CD set is it? I used to have that and this was one of the best songs on it.
So what do you do when your whole world falls apart?
And what do you say to take the guilt from your heart?
How many questions hold answers you cannot give?
And the hope of dying becomes the only reason to live
Whilst they look down, down on your life, lost in their own…
Safe little world, protected by the lies believed
Safe little world, conscience ignored and truth deceived
Safe little world
Safe little world, that fool could be you
Remember those phases, hope decayed and so alone
Nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide
After endless nights you lost sight of the other side
The guilt of failure, the last emotion cried
How many times, have they held you down,
In power, in their…
Safe little world, protected by the lies believed
Safe little world, conscience ignored and truth deceived
Safe little world
Safe little world, that fool could be you
How many times have i wondered why,
After all the years you said goodbye
And even now, can't believe your lie,
That you'd rather leave than let it die
My jealous ways were misunderstood,
Wouldn't change my words even if i could
Because, because you dragged me down,
Because, because you dragged me
Those desperate days are now distant and long ago
The pain of youth has healed as love begins grow
How many questions hold answers you cannot give?
And the hope of dying becomes the only reason to live
Safe little world, protected by the lies believed
Safe little world, conscience ignored and truth deceived
Safe little world
Safe little world, that fool could be you
And your world comes tumbling down
nice oldschool
geniales... exelente tema.
It has a symphonic metal sound to it.
old school.

There was another band from the early 90s called Die Laughing which was more of a death metal band.
I’m reading a book by Steve Davis (yes that Steve Davis!) & Kavus Torabi who was in the other Die Laughing
@@janthompson2855 That's interesting!
Look out for the book It’s a very interesting read and some of it has me in stitches 🤣 the book is called Medical Grade Music. Kavus is in Gong now
Love her voice, it sounds a little like Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil), even though their musical styles are completely different.
So my friend referenced me to this song.. and it's awesome. How he heard of them, I have no idea. He's 15 lol.
I guess it's just good taste for me, being a 19 year old ;)
goth ballad? >.< Meh...whatever :-)
