A world of yes. I too encountered this song in high school -- somebody had the CD reissue of the 7 inch and passed it around. I made a tape copy, as one did in those days, and listened to it until I Was Goth.

Wow. You really nailed that intro!
Quick story: my high school girlfriend was obsessed with this song. She once played it on a loop for 54 hours straight (CD players had just become affordable and that repeat button was just too much for her to resist). When I came over to see her she was a little..... frayed. She really wasn't much of a goth, but she loved this song and the movie The Hunger. Okay, so maybe she was a little bit of a goth.

The juxtopation of these two songs is perfect, the ugliness of the first intro of harsher nature into a neatly wrapped tune of beautiful melody.
Coming into My Butterfly that feels like something Smith should have done in the first place. The completion of the thought from old to new is a wonderful idea.
Great job Wilsun! --- *SORRY! *DR* Wilsun!

from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals
just for once
let the loss
fall away
from me now
try to see
the good in you
through the haze
of the world
I wanted to save you
From yourselves
But I forgot to first save me…
from the album "Flooded" featuring Ash Reynolds on vocals
She’s grey outside
She’s very sad
She starts to cry
It’s looking bad
The frozen ground
Won’t let her in
Yet on it comes
The flood begins
The road ahead
Has warning signs
say…

Those guitars harmonizing with each other are pretty sweet! This is the best thing I have heard on this platform so far!
A balls to the wall Christmas to you too
Well... now we are going to need a punk album out of you.
Now there’s the fanciest danciest tune of all! Love it!!
A world of yes. I too encountered this song in high school -- somebody had the CD reissue of the 7 inch and passed it around. I made a tape copy, as one did in those days, and listened to it until I Was Goth.
A very cool soundscape here. Nicely done.

One from back in the day ….. you’ve done a good job with it
You've started using a different approach with your vocals and I really like it.
This is spectacular. The raw emotion really comes through.
this is fun, put a smile on my face!
I'm not familiar with the Manics, but, this jams, nice job Wilsun!
Oh man. I love this voice out of you. MORE OF THIS!!!!!
oooohhh. Love the dark, mysterious vibe. I'm a huge OMD fan. You did this justice.
Great tune! Love the jangly guitar vibes and cool Eno-esque backing synths. Reminds me of James "Laid" style stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work here. You should write "dumb three minute pop songs" more often.
I am also a fan of basically taking another song and turning it into your own song. Good idea and good job!
I don't know the original, but this was well done and well produced, the sounds and the mix are all great!

There is a bold move in purposely have dissonance be the intro of a song. You are nailing the Robert Smith.

Lovely soundscapes. Great mix of gentle acoustic guitar, keyboard, and wind instruments.
Wow... what a voice! Passionate and emotive.
Utterly beautiful.
Love this one! Very melancholy.
