Week Nine: The Psychedelic Furs - "In My Head" - World Outside

This is definitely one of those tunes that is easily forgotten, but when it finds its way into the rotation on the shuffle mode on my iPod, I think to myself: "Hey, I really like this song!"

I think that what makes it so endearing for me, personally, is that it is one of The Furs' later efforts, but it is so reminiscent of their earlier works.  I was reading some of the comments on youtube as I was deciding which video to post, and it seems to me that many fans of The Psychedelic Furs were not at all impressed with the album, World Outside, or even with this particular song.

I have to admit that the album was a slower and even drearier album than the others, but I still appreciate the maturity and growth that the album showed.  It also makes me appreciate musical artists even more for what they do because fans seem to be so fickle and unwilling to grow and change with artists at times.

I came pulling all the stops

putting rain on all of this

with the sirens in my sleep

and her sorrow at my kiss

I can't turn away

hold a hand to when you pray

all her vanity and fate

written on her crazy face

here in my head

I hear you say

here in my head

I hear you pray

time is what it's made

made by others I regret

remember me I hear it said

out of faces I forget

hope you get up off your feet

shake the dust out of your shoes

city lights and all my jazz

all my demonstrations too

here in my head

I hear you say

here in my head

I hear you pray

time is what it's made

made by others I regret

remember me I hear it said

out of faces I forget

here in my head

I hear you say

here in my head

I hear you pray

here in my head

I hear you say

here in my head

I hear you pray
