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.

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.

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

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

Same thing for me while listening to 'Deep' - a friend said Peter Murphy sounded like Neil Diamond.... which made me dislike Neil Diamond... until I saw him in concert in the early 90's and was blown away at how good Neil Diamond is!

Was never into Bauhaus - somehow I missed them completely. I might have to revisit them as I think this voice is excellent!

another example of an artist i put in my cabernet cabinet— tasted good then (bauhaus) and even better now (solo). and for you music buffs: bauhaus = love and rockets + peter murphy love and rockets = daniel ash, peter j, and kevin haskins love rockets were first the bubblemen
 
Let us not forget that between Bauhaus and Love and Rockets was Tones on Tail (Daniel Ash, Glenn Campling and Kevin Haskins).  : )

Yeah, Peter Murphy was the singer in the group Bauhaus. The song I'm pretty sure you're referring to is "Bela Lugosi's Dead." Great song, great movie from what I remember of it.

Yes, or "Indigo Eyes."  But this song has its own appeal.

Sinister menace?  Right! It is the booming Viking voice that has you scuttling into dark corners.   Don't worry, the threat is over.

 

And yeah, this is nice.
