Sometimes you find a long lost memory or a description that matches you 100 % again after years.
Just thinking about the concert times with a the crazy people and my feeling of nobody understanding me. Wild and evil.
Two days I am listening now again The Mission with the song "you are like a hurricane". Reading the lyrics I am getting jealous for the gift the songwriter has to put all the power and the spirit into a song. (okay this one is a cover version of Neil Young, I have to admit). But I like the version of The Mission just more.
The lyrics of Sisterhood, Sisters of Mercy and The Mission are so strong. All made up around the main figures Andrew and Wayne. Still don't know if I like the vocalist Andrew with the Sisters of Mercy better or Wayne with The Mission, after they split from the early Sisters. How they were connected with the Sisterhood, or if the Sisterhood was an early project of them two I never understood, but also a little before my time. But the songs are also great.
So have to steal the lycrics now and put them here to get the power of words into my head.

"Like A Hurricane"
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

Wow. How strong the picture of a hurricane with the calm eye in the middle is burning itself into the brain, describing also the character of a person.
Respect.
