Goths have feelings too
imagine being in your 60's and being able to put on a loud shirt, jump up on stage and yell some inane doggerel like lametta and vendetta! lametta to the MAX!... and earn a sweet chunk of pocket money from it (and selling related t-shirts). Imagine your drunken uncle tries that at a family wedding.
What a life. No wonder he doesn't give a s**t about getting in the studio.

This made me laugh audibly for quite some time. Well put. But, funny thing is, that's easily what makes the song for me. Only our Andy could write such doggerel and make it mean (arguably, your milage will vary) and feel like a shot to the chest. He has a way with words, and a way with delivery, that never fails to make me swoon. Honest, I love that line.alanm wrote: ↑07 Apr 2022, 09:08 imagine being in your 60's and being able to put on a loud shirt, jump up on stage and yell some inane doggerel like lametta and vendetta! lametta to the MAX!... and earn a sweet chunk of pocket money from it (and selling related t-shirts).

Very interesting, because that's sounds like the kind of utterly stupid show that Eldritch himself used to get pestered to be on?Vendetta Lametta. Reden ist Silber, Rache ist Gold is a six-part television series that was broadcast approximately weekly on the German television channel Tele 5 from August 2017 . The main actresses were Ines Anioli and Leila Lowfire , who became known through their podcast Sexpleasure .
In the series, the two women traveled through Europe and faced various, deliberately provocative challenges in the cities they visited. Among other things, they walked through Amsterdam on a leash in latex dog costumes or reenacted the orgasm scene from the feature film Harry and Sally in a restaurant in Naples.

"We're Hawkwind and this is a song about love."
Adsumus (Latin: "We Are Here") means, after its opening word, the prayer with which the assistance of the Holy Spirit is invoked at the beginning of councils and synods of the Roman Catholic Church.
I had to google this as I ran across the phrase in The Tower of Fools by Andrzej Sapkowski. And I couldn't believe this to be a coincidence.

According to a Roman Catholic site about synods the prayer is called "Adsumus Sancte Spiritus", and Adsumus for simplification. But they translate it as "We stand before You, Holy Spirit", which is a little far from "We are here".
From an Orthodox point of view, i can assure you that in the church etiquette, there is a lot of standing when during liturgy is mentioned the Holy Trinity or the Lord (Father) or if you feel the presence of Holy Spirit. My feeling is that this is not the case for "Here" and the "We Are Here". No matter how attractive that would be for some people. i believe there is no connection to "Adsumus". A honest humble opinion but perhaps it is otherwise

I had Latin in school (6 years), and I know that Adsumus literally translates to "We Are Here". Whatever Roman Catholic sites tell you.
sumus = we are; ad = at/to (something) - if (something) is not specified: here
That doesn't mean that Eldritch references it in any way, though.

As nigel molesworth wil tel you: All latin masters hav one joke:
Caesar adsum jam forte. Brutus aderat. Caesar sic in omnibus. Brutus sic enat.
Adsum in that means "I am here". As any fule kno.
Conjugat yore verbs boy!

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Latin sounds interesting lesson to have whatever the case. So if you say "Ad+Pub's Door" for example and "Sum" or "Sumus", you say "I am" or "We are" + "at Pub's Door" , right? if you don't specify something, it means "here".

Von sometimes changes the words. You might be right therefore. But I think Mark Andrews probably got it from the horse‘s mouth.Rantz Hoseley wrote: ↑19 Jun 2023, 21:23 I think it's

Whatever the words it's a brilliant song and I hear it as a statement of intent...
"We are here"
So deal with it, maggot farmers
That kind of vibe....

It will suck dead puppies through a straw if we never get to hear this one again. My equal fave of the new numbers alongside DDOI
