Sobre el álbum

La discografía de Spandau Ballet a menudo se resume en sus sencillos más famosos, pero una colección como "Singles, Rarities & Remixes" demuestra que hay mucho más por descubrir. A diferencia de un grandes éxitos convencional, este tipo de lanzamiento se dirige principalmente al fan devoto. Ofrece una visión más profunda y detallada del universo musical de la banda, incluyendo material que normalmente no aparece en otras compilaciones.

El principal atractivo de este álbum, evidentemente, reside en su promesa de "rarezas". Aquí es donde el oyente puede encontrar caras B, versiones alternativas o descartes que revelan el proceso creativo del grupo. Los remixes incluidos muestran cómo sus canciones se adaptaban a las pistas de baile, ofreciendo una perspectiva diferente de temas muy conocidos. El álbum funciona como un complemento perfecto a su discografía oficial.

Escuchar este material menos expuesto permite apreciar la versatilidad de la banda más allá de sus hits. "Singles, Rarities & Remixes" es un tesoro para los coleccionistas y una fantástica oportunidad para que los seguidores más curiosos exploren los márgenes de la carrera de Spandau Ballet.

    Letra

    Thank you for coming home I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn I left them here I could have sworn These are my salad days Slowly being eaten away Just another play for today Oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you Nothing left to make me feel small Luck has left me standing so tall Gold (Gold) Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, 'cos you are Gold (Gold) Glad that you're bound to return There's something I could have learned You're indestructible, always believing After the rush has gone I hope you find a little more time Remember we were partners in crime It's only two years ago The man with the suit and the face You knew that he was there on the case Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you My love is like a high prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold (Gold) Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, 'cos you are Gold (Gold) I'm glad that you're bound to return Something I could have learned You're indestructible, always believing My love is like a high prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold (Gold) Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, 'cos you are Gold (Gold) I'm glad that you're bound to return Something I could have learned You're indestructible, always believing

  7. Communication

    Letra

    Communication always leaves me incomplete, The grass is greener, but it's grown beneath my feet... Love inspiration is a message on a wing, But I have left it in the words you'll never sing... Communication let me down, And I'm left here Communication let me down, And I'm left here, I'm left here again! Telex or tell me, but it's always second-hand, I'm incognito but no rendezvous's been planned... Dictate or relay, I could send it to your home, "Return to Sender" - I could sing it down the phone! Communication let me down, But I'm left here Communication let me down, But I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I... (Dictate!) (Relay!) I'm sitting here, waiting by the telephone, Waiting for the bell to ring, Short change, fumble, Dial-a-heart trouble, And I ain't got time for searching through the rubble, oh no! Well, I know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Communication let me down, And I'm left here Communication let me down And I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I... (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!) (I'm a-left a-here-oh!)

  9. Heaven Is a Secret

    Letra

    She'll sing a "West-Side" song you could be the boy in the film Heaven is a secret. Where are the "West-Side" boys? Fighting on the scaffold of love Scripted pleasures made forever Easier said then done together Heaven is a secret it's a passion it's a long way over there far from her arms tonight. Here is her model home listen to the call of the wild Heaven is a secret facts are awful shame the shadow of a doubtful affair scripted pleasures made forever easier said than done together Act One's the same as you read in the book could this be the thing that they shout about? No more in distress, now it's rushed through the door and you can't believe that the secret's out scripted pleasures made forever easier said than done together. Heaven is a secret it's a passion it's a long way over there far from her arms tonight.

  12. To Cut a Long Story Short

    Letra

    Soldier is turning See him through white light Running from strangers See you in the valley War upon war Heat upon heat To cut a long story short I lost my mind Sitting on a park bench Years away from fighting To cut a long story short I lost my mind Standing in the dark Oh I was waiting for man to come I am beautiful and clean And so very very young To be standing in the street To be taken by someone Questions questions Give me no answers That's all they ever give me Questions questions Oh look at the strange boy He finds it hard existing To cut a long story short I lost my mind To cut a long story short I lost my... Mi-i-i-i-ind!

    Bleak and tired Western skies Silence crashing with quiet lies Shattered glass reflects elation Reformation, Reformation. I saw you running through my dreams Question held me to the scene Your face was wet with perspiration Reformation, Reformation. There's something wrong There's something wrong Man is something that must be overcome Quick, snap, break, crack, complication Reformation, Reformation. I saw you running through my dreams A sun that burst through a cloudy scene Shattered glass reflects elation Reformation, Reformation. Bleak and tired Western skies Silence crashing with quiet lies Shattered glass reflects elation Reformation, Reformation.

    Letra

    (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi) (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi) So true Funny how it seems Always in time, but never in line for dreams Head over heels when toe to toe This is the sound of my soul This is the sound I bought a ticket to the world But now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh, I want the truth to be said (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi) I know this much is true (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi) I know this much is true With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue Dissolve the nerves that have just begun Listening to Marvin (All night long) This is the sound of my soul This is the sound Always slipping from my hands Sand's a time of its own Take your seaside arms and write the next line Oh, I want the truth to be known (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi) I know this much is true (Ha-ha-ha, ha-ah-hi) I know this much is true I bought a ticket to the world But now I've come back again Why do I find it hard to write the next line?

  10. Through the Barricades

    Letra

    Mother doesn't know where love has gone She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong I see it in her face that's turned to ice And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice And now I know what they're saying As our sun begins to fade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Father made my history He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free He taught me what to say in school I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two And now I know what they're saying In the music of the parade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Born on different sides of life We feel the same and feel all of this strife So come to me when I'm asleep We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets And now I know what they're saying As the drums begin to fade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Oh, turn around and I'll be there Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again Oh, I thought we were the human race But we were just another borderline case And the stars reach down and tell us That there's always one escape Oh, I don't know where love has gone And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong Friday's child is full of soul With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go And now I know what they're saying It's a terrible beauty we've made So we make our love on wasteland And through the barricades And now I know what they're saying As our hearts go to their graves And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades

And now you're leaving... How many times must I learn? It' s only when you've gone that I burn, And now you're leaving... In the end, all that I left has come unbearable It's hard to change your mind, So leave it all behind Only when you leave I need to love you And when the action has all gone I'm just a little fool enough to need you Fool enough too long Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger Oh, I'll make sure that you pay So give a little passion to a stranger And take this soul away

    Letra

    Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin Waiting in the dark Centuries passed down upon Your smooth Venetian skin Memories oh memories Lay stains upon your heart When lovers dance into the trance You weaved by candlelight Oh I saw a sunrise like never before As mandolin played I cried for more. Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin Waiting in the dark Centuries passed down upon Your smooth Venetian skin Incessant sound, incessant sound That stirs the young and pure Incestuous I kiss my hand And play the calling drum. The lover cried into the silk Many years ago Your voice laid comfort down upon His European skin. Oh I saw a sunrise like never before As mandolin played I cried for more. Oh I saw a sunrise like never before As mandolin played I cried for more. Oh I saw a sunrise like never before As mandolin played I cried for more Oh Mandolin, oh mandolin Waiting in the dark Centuries passed down upon Your smooth Venetian skin.
