Best New (unreleased) Sisters Song?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Romeo Down for personal resonance.

If you go to a doctor and get some antibiotics, that can probably be taken care of.

Lyrics here, written in 2009, but never played live so no one outside the band has ever heard it played (apart from PiB, who got the demo version in 1982).
1982? Has there been music for it around since then?

Never occurred to me that the song might be about that!

I had nearly voted for that too (well, as much as for one or two other songs).

What makes it special is that, in a way, it is a perfect parallel of Flood II ...

Alright I'll tell the story

Last Halloween I met a girl dressed as a zombie nurse. She was really cool and quite beautiful and we were getting on so well she asked if we could go back to my place. So we did and we went up to my room and I put my music on to shuffle and went to the bathroom. Walked in to her sitting cross legged on the floor all tensed up and dissociated, running a scalpel blade over her wrists as the speakers declared "romeo won't understand till he sees blood in the palm of his hand"

Now that I think about it Teachers would probably have been even more eerie, but that was how it went down.

My vote would go to Good Things but as it should not be in this list; one Romeo Down. :notworthy:

Voted Summer, but could've easily been Crash and Burn or Suzanne, it depends on the weather outside...

I'm just in a kind of "old-school" mood so I voted for "Good things"...
If you ask me next week, maybe it could be Susanne or Slept :innocent:

I voted for C&B although I do enjoy Arms, Slept, Susanne and Summer as well.

WoD and Romeo Down I need to hear better versions of either live (or studio eldritch :von: ) as I'm undecided on them. I like the lyrics but sometimes the music isn't clear enough for me to make sure I fully like it or not.

At least for War On Drugs, this recording should clear things for you, in my opinion the best sounding version of the song:

I voted for Crash And Burn, but it was a hard fight with Will I Dream. Btw. it's a pity that only one person voted for Will I Dream. It's a great song, I would like to hear it live this year.
