i forgot about this song until looking over my old files.

and jesus!!...surely this is his most disturbing song ever.
musically it sounds like the slow descent into hell after death.

great track, but so dark.

anyone else been introduced to this track?

This isn't a bad tune. I rarely listen to it because I only have it on a dubbed tape that a friend made for me over a decade ago. Very dark indeed.

realy love this song....the production is so disturbing,..
It was my fav song last october...

---7 month old baby died in her sleep
parents went crazy & cried 4 a week---

Bobby had a unckle, who (?) the string
and wrapped his neck around it, A (?) thing----I realy love the scream
at this part.....


The screaming and crying in the production is wonderful...and the drums
with all the tom work completes it....4sure one of my fav songs....

listen 2 it every time i feel like

Frightening.

The screaming in the background is unbearable. I sooooo miss his experimental songs, like this one.

Others Here With Us

When I'm alone, my mind takes a drive
Through chocolate religion and spirits alive
All I was brought up in this world 2 know
Is lost when a demon swallows them whole

CHORUS:
There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know

It's strange how your mind works when Love is in power
One learns 2 care and appreciate a flower
What makes others want 2 change your mind?
All the things I've seen, life is so sublime

CHORUS

7-month-old baby died in her sleep
The parents went crazy and cried 4 a week
They swore they heard her laugh in the crib by the wall
They're convinced she's with us if she's anything at all

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

Bobby had an uncle who took a string
And wrapped his neck around it, a pitiful thing
If only we can turn back the hands of time
Except there's others here with us, life is sublime

There's others here with us
There's others here with us, I know (I know)

All the things I've seen {x2}

CHORUS

^^^^

ur tha best

.... thankx for the lyrics!!..

I've only heard the song a couple of times...yet strangely I have cousins that are 6 children in the family minus...a little girl named "Melody," who did die of crib death at 7 months.

Rather creeps me out!

Sounds like a bad LSD trip!

I luh this shit.

The Really Black album
[Edited 7/9/09 19:49pm]

Great song indeed !

Right at the first listen I knew I had to put on some headphones and take my time to listen

So it took me a little longer to hear it
I was wearing out Heaven, Movie Star, Teacher Teacher, Witness 4 the Prosecution etc etc

Then I listened and loved it


A Dark Prince album would be

Others Here With Us
Sign o the Times
the Future
Annie Christian
God the Dance Electric
Computer Blue
Bob George
Tambourine
Old Friends 4 Sale
It
Papa
I Hate U


I had 2 put God somewhere in there because the sound of this song as a dark edge to it but has a sense of hope in the middle of all that pain and disappointment

outside of the background eerie sounds

this song feels like it could be on the ATWIAD album,
