If only he could get his ego under control you'd be seeing all of Bauhaus, not just him singing the group's songs.

I rarely make song comments and didn't even know there was a "godlike" rating.  This is definitely it.

Really good tune. Fab voice. I'm not that familiar with his output, but I love Cuts You Up and Devil's Teeth.

An amazing song from an amazing album 20 years ago - 'Deep'. Still would like to hear his more recent stuff on RP, but its never been accepted.

Haven't heard this before and really like it. Nice to hear Peter Murphy exercise that range. Almost sounds like the Church.

I've waited until I heard this a few times to rate it.  There is a heaviness to the song that has nothing to do with how the instruments are being played that can sometimes detract from the song itself.  However, for some reason, it works here.  I don't know if it's the simple arrangement, his vocals, or something else...  but I give it an easy 7 with the potential for higher.

YES!!! Love this tune and not heard it quite some time... PM is simply amazing - hard to beat his voice. Definitely "Most Excellent!"

"Methinks he thinks"?  That seems like a title for a rejected Dr. Seuss book.

A beautiful and sensitive song, and a very interesting time for music, in my opinion.

Made me come over to check out who/what...  and add to my list of songs to possibly buy.

Minimum standard for a "7".

I've always adored Peter Murphy. And always took his music so very seriously. But ever since that Criminal Minds episode (or was it Without a Trace?) about an aging goth rock star's demise (was a great episode) I feel a vein of unwelcome irony slipping into my listening. Alas. Was only a matter of time I suppose. But I hate having to force myself to banish irony when listening to a song I once would have listened to otherwise. It's tough getting old and bitter, eh?

It's probably already been said somewhere here, but he has a Neil Diamond sound quality to him.

Always wished he would have used a cello instead of that cheesy synthesizer.


 
Maybe he should have used an oboe!  I think that's the effect he was going for.  For myself, I like the synthesizer.

 Agreed, as long as what it evokes is a themoplastic injection molding machine.

Peter's "Ninth" is coming out June 7th. He's playing Troubadour in Los Angeles on June 29th. Can't wait!
