Bauhaus Staircase

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, the duo of Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys, celebrated 45 years of making high quality electronic music while this could be OMD’s final album. Here the dark has got darker as Anthropocene and Evolution Of Species are bleak Kraftwerkian cyberpop predictions of a human-free future, while Aphrodite's Favourite Child evokes poetic lyrics of resilience. This album is creative and envelope-pushing. “Don’t ever waste this moment”!
 


OMD - Aphrodite's Favourite Child

Can you see me, falling
Into Aphrodite's favourite child
Can you hear me, calling
Beyond the sirens screaming wild
And will you kill me, softly
With every perfect word you styled
Can you hold me, closely
Like a mother holds her dying only child

Can you take me slowly
To a vision of your promised land
And will you break me, gently
With the firm control of an expert hand
And can I kiss you, always
Spontaneously and unplanned
And will you be the, only
One beside me at that final stand

Because you touch me, softly
And I will reach down deep inside
And if you need me, I'll be
There when all the worlds collide
And if you're waiting, for me
I will bridge that great divide
Because together, we can
Stand against that fatal drowning tide

Can you see me, falling
Into Aphrodite's favourite child
Can you hear me, calling
Above the sirens screaming wild
Don't catch me, I'm falling
Into Aphrodite's favourite chosen child

Don't catch me, I'm falling
Into Aphrodite's favourite chosen child
