Week Eighteen: Synthpop - Soviet - "Marbleyezed" - We Are Eyes, We Are Builders

So as I mentioned in Saturday's post, The Wall, which was a club in Deep Ellum, would host a Synthpop night on Wednesdays, and they would sometimes give away CDs from up-and-coming Synthpop bands.  Most of these demos were pure crap, but on occasion, a CD, such as this one from Soviet, would land in my hands.
The lyrics to this song are so intensely beautiful (in my opinion), and any band that can throw in a reference to “Capulet and Montague” is A-OK with me!!!  Their other songs pale in comparison to this one, but it's still worth giving them a listen.



Is it any wonder how the world spins its lonely days for me,

like a record with its bruises skips a beat of history,

In between the grooves is where I lie,

wondering where this lover hides.

To the girl with the marble eyes,
can it be that you've taken me by surprise,
the wind and rain have carried your fame,
to my front door in spite of my heart’s refrain,
Capulet and Montague never even heard of me and you,
I'll keep this secret of how I adore,
this passion girl that I was always looking for.
Somehow here we are standing in the rain again,
if we could only run away,
take this train to better days.
Can I feel that it's all around,
In your eyes there lies this perfect sound.
Uhhmm.....I digress.

***UPDATE*** 1/19/2013 - I did my first youtube clip upload - yeah, it's nothing impressive, but I'm still super-stoked that I finally got around to uploading something...
