Shearwater-The Hunter's star.

 

 

 

In a similar fashion to Mark Hollis, lead vocalist Jonothan Meiburg dazzles with a hauntingly beautiful vocal and a subtle, yet impact full piano performance.

 

He is accompanied by a beautiful string arrangement and delicately delivered guitar work.

 

This is one awesome song and I have to rate it as one of the best this year for me so far.

 

 

 

Here is a you tube clip.

 

The album version is much better

seeing that it's the 20th aniv of the killings on Tiananmen Square, I'm listening to "Watching TV" of Roger Water from the Amused to Death album.

 

 

 

We were watching TV

 

In Tiananmen Square

 

Lost my baby there

 

My yellow rose

 

In her bloodstained clothes

 

She was a short order pastry chef

 

In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway

 

She had a shiny hair

 

She was a daughter of an engineer

 

Won't you shed a tear

 

For my yellow rose

 

My yellow rose

 

In her bloodstained clothes

 

She had a perfect breasts

 

She had high hopes

 

She had almond eyes

 

She had yellow thighs

 

She was a student of philosophy

 

Won't you grieve with me

 

For my yellow rose

 

Shed a tear

 

For her bloodstained clothes

 

She had shiny hair

 

She had perfect breasts

 

She had almond eyes

 

She had yellow thighs

 

She was a daughter af an engineer

 

So get out your pistols

 

Get out your stones

 

Get out your knives

 

Cut them to the bone

 

They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine

 

They built the dark satanic mills

 

That manufacture hell on earth

 

They bought the front row seats on Calvary

 

They are irrelevant to me

 

And I grieve for my sister

 

People of China

 

Do not forget do not forget

 

The children who died for you

 

Long live the Republic

 

Did we do anything after this

 

I've feeling we did

 

We were watching TV

 

Watching TV

 

We were watching TV

 

Watching TV

 

She wore a white bandanna that said

 

Freedom now

 

She thought the Great Wall of China

 

Would come tumbling down

 

She was a student

 

Her father was an engineer

 

Won't you shed a tear

 

For my yellow rose

 

My yellow rose

 

In her bloodstained clothes

 

Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek

 

That no-good low-down dirty rat

 

Who used to order his troops

 

To fire on women and children

 

Imagine that imagine that

 

And in the spring of'48

 

Mao Tse-tung got quite irate

 

And he kicked that old dictator Chiang

 

Out of the state of China

 

Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa

 

And they armed the island of Quemoy

 

And the shells were flying across the China Sea

 

And they turned Formosa into a shoe factory

 

Called Taiwan

 

And she is different from Cro-Magnon man

 

She's different from Anne Boleyn

 

She is different from the Rosenbergs

 

And from the unknown Jew

 

She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan

 

Half superstar half victim

 

She's a victor star conceptually new

 

And she is different from the Dodo

 

And from the Kankabono

 

She is different from the Aztec

 

And from the Cherokee

 

She's everybody's sister

 

She's a symbolic of our failure

 

She's the one in fifty million

 

Who can help us to be free

 

Because she died on TV

 

And I grieve for my sister
