WAYNE HUSSEY ist natürlich untrennbar mit der Goth-Ikone The Mission verbunden. Daneben aber macht der Fronter auch zusammen mit seiner Frau Cinthya umit der alteingessenen Gothictruppe BEAUTY IN CHAOS Musik, die zumindest der softeren Seite von The Mission gar nicht so unähnlich ist.

Heute ist der Song `Driving For Pearls` als Video erschienen, mit dem BEAUTY IN CHAOS die Scheibe “Dancing With Angels” für den 24. Juli ankündigen.

WAYNE HUSSEY kommentiert den Song wie folgt:

“I must confess that I was getting worried that I’d never be able to write another song – ever. I was raking over all my old lyric notebooks and various word documents on old hard drives and still nada. I was bemoaning my situation to Cinthya one evening and she suggested I write about a personal situation I’d found myself in a few years back. I got my mind focused in the right direction, and while in the studio singing along to the track, I soon got the first line, with the rest following fairly easily…and quickly. It was a huge relief to have the elusive muse visit me again.“

Lyrics:

„Do you remember how it used to be

When together we watched the sun set on the sea

And I held you in my arms so tight

I kept you safe all through the night

And everything I did I did it for you

And everything I was was true

And everything I hoped for I hoped for you

you were my world, everything to me

 

And I’ve been diving for pearls now I’m coming up for air

I’m casting off the chains that dragged me deep

I’ve been swimming ‘round in circles chasing dolphins everywhere

But I’m no longer shedding tears, no more tears shall I weep for you

 

You were the best mistake I ever made

And I was the best game you ever played

I lost myself in you and I disappeared

your marionette and you, my puppeteer

Like mother’s milk to a dying man

Like walking barefoot on burning sand

Like staring at the sun and going blind

Like a favorite drug that blows my mind

 

And I’ve been diving for pearls now I’m coming up for air

I’m casting off the chains that dragged me deep

I’ve been swimming ‘round in circles chasing dolphins everywhere

But I’m no longer shedding tears, no more tears shall I weep for you

 

Before you go your way and I go mine

I’d like to tell you just one more time, I love you, yes I love you

 

Do you remember how it used to be

It’s now just a fading memory

 

I’ve been diving for pearls now I’m coming up for air

I’m casting off the chains that dragged me deep

I’ve been swimming ‘round in circles chasing dolphins everywhere

But I’m no longer shedding tears, no more tears shall I weep for you …
