Week Twenty-Three goes to IIV (Images In Vogue) & SP (Skinny Puppy). Images In Vogue was a Canadian New Wave band that found fame in the early 80s. The connection to Skinny Puppy is that Kevin Compton, who was the drummer for Images In Vogue, left the band to focus on his side project, which happened to be Skinny Puppy. You might be more familiar with him under his moniker of cEvin Key.
I was introduced to Images In Vogue after I had made the acquaintance of the singer in my former band. He was a huge fan of Skinny Puppy, and he had discovered the Images In Vogue connection. However, I was actually introduced to Skinny Puppy through a boyfriend that I had in high school many, many years before I ever learned of Images In Vogue. I have really only known guys to be avid Skinny Puppy fans, but that's not to say that there are not females out there who are equally enamored by them.
Skinny Puppy is definitely an acquired taste, and I never really got into them more than the three songs that I will post during IIV/SP week. In fact, I know so little about both bands (and I'm seriously overloaded with tests, assignments, and grading right now) that I am just going to re-post this same blurb of info for each song that I speak of this week, but I would like to get their music out there because it is really good!!! I'll be back to my daily commentary next week - bear with me, s'il vous plait!!!
Live performance:
Something suddenly warm
When everything was cold
There's something suddenly new
When everything was old
And there's something in the air
That's never been there before
Yeah, there's something in the air
That's never been there before
Chorus:
You can call it love if you want to
There's something warm here inside you
Call it love
You can call it love if you want to
I've never felt this way
About anything before
The warmth inside you builds
And leaves me wanting more
There's something in your heart
That keeps me by your side
Yeah, there's something in your soul
That's impossible to hide
(chorus)
I'm feeling warm when I'm beside you
If I fall asleep don't ever wake me
Cause I'm always warm when I'm beside you
There's no better place for me to be
Call it love
You can call it love if you want to
Call it love
There's something warm here inside you
Call it love
Well, you can call it love if you want to
Call it love
When everything was cold
There's something suddenly new
When everything was old
And there's something in the air
That's never been there before
Yeah, there's something in the air
That's never been there before
Chorus:
You can call it love if you want to
There's something warm here inside you
Call it love
You can call it love if you want to
I've never felt this way
About anything before
The warmth inside you builds
And leaves me wanting more
There's something in your heart
That keeps me by your side
Yeah, there's something in your soul
That's impossible to hide
(chorus)
I'm feeling warm when I'm beside you
If I fall asleep don't ever wake me
Cause I'm always warm when I'm beside you
There's no better place for me to be
Call it love
You can call it love if you want to
Call it love
There's something warm here inside you
Call it love
Well, you can call it love if you want to
Call it love
