BEFORE YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES: TINDERSTICKS

DREAMERS IN THE WAITING ROOM
THE DRIVE
LUST AND JEALOSY
LOVE?
DUO INVENTED IN THE HEAVENS

What follows is a motel by the road or a hotel in the centre of the unknown city. With the loneliness or without it. All options are there with Tindersticks. And the unbearable life as a category that is difficult, but not impossible to win, and the careless nights without thinking of what follows.

Films will teach us nothing. Bodies sticking together are just the anaesthetics of the moment. We can even dance – maybe we dance each other to the end! – to start something new. Some parts of Tindersticks’ early albums are like the salt on the wounds of those who go to the bottom earlier to break, and then they swim out free of the agony of powerlessness forever, changed by their experience, mostly proud of the scars that remain behind the barely survived adventures of the heart.

Jism
is one of those songs. Survive what is described in it and surrender to oblivion. Destroy the past, build from the start, understand the devastating side of love, the one that destroys, get out of that, search for what has remained of your own soul, and let it be forgiven.

And stop asking yourself where somebody is what they are doing. It is none of your business anymore. The colours have spilt, no answer will bring peace. Separate lust from greed and do not allow the spite to destroy you. There is no truth to liberate you, only violins in the agony and the silence that would rather become a scream. The moments when I despise myself are rare, and when I am jealous I always do it.

Jism
