You can't see my eyes
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say
I don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near
Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?

It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry? I couldn't hear you
Darling when? When did you cry? I couldn't hear you

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
Of the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming

The slightest crystal tear drops to the ground
In silence when my love is near
It's marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end

Darling when did we fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did we fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I fear that it's the price of falling in love

Leigh's vocals are fantastic on this. And when she hits the chorus.  Wow.  Just a great song overall.

I feel like the vocalist is the weak link with these guys...having been a fan of both Skinny Puppy (still have a cassette of them) and Front Line Assembly, its interesting to follow the progression.  But it's a bit fluffy for my tastes...



I suppose pretty much all music is fluffy if your point of reference is Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly.

Vocals are somewhat reminiscent of The Sundays.

Could very well be, though probably you are alone. I once heard a snippet of ELO's Mr Blue Sky in Out of Space from the Prodigy. But I lost it since.

Stylistically the third album in the transition between really beautiful but ambient music (pre-Semantic-Spaces) and brainless pop (post-Poem). I prefer the one in the middle (Karma) over this one, but there are some very beautiful tracks on Poem indeed.

When this album came out, I was walking through a furniture store and they were playing this cd and selling them, and I bought one, and have been listening to Delerium ever since. This album is still a big favorite.

I heard the same thing — within the first few notes I immediately envisioned immense black skyscrapers in the shapes of pyramids; tall spire chimneys spewing fire into the night sky; floating billboards and neon lights everywhere; and rain, oh so much rain. Then the rest of the song kicked in and the image disappointingly dissipated as quickly as it came.

Me Three. The Blu-ray is outstanding.

Not to say this isn't a solid 7.

One of my preferred cuts from what I consider to be the second best Delerium album from their vocal phase. Leigh really belts it here. Nuages du Monde still rises above, though.

I'm a Delerium and Front Line Assembly fan of the first hour (Delerium goes back to 1987 actually, FLA started around 1985). When Leeb moved his Delerium project from Dossier Records to Nettwerk (the last works for Dossier were "Spheres I & II" while "Semantic Spaces" was released almost at the same time in 1994) I got sadder and sadder about the direction he was shifting - from powerful and innovative (completely instrumental except for some samples) darkambient industrial to some shallow, almost commercial pop. "Chimera" was the last album I bought and ejected, very disappointed, after some tracks. But on each album there are still some gems which make me indulgent - like this wonderful piece of music "Innocente" with Leigh's heavenly voice. It deserves without doubt a 9.

Started out a 6, then moved it to a 7 due to the guitar work.

I'm pretty sure that this is not the track from the CD. This one has more of a loose, flowing feeling and the vocals are much clearer. Not sure which one I like better.

I first heard this song when my little brother was going through his first serious break-up, and it just tore my heart out. :( To answer another question below, the Sunday's lead singer is/was Harriet Wheeler, also a very lovely voice.

Very nice. I too thought it sounded like Sixpence...imagine my surprise...I\'m a new listener and I must admit that I\'m hooked. Great job on the tunes. I am really amazed at the stuff that some \"big name\" artists can play that you don\'t get to hear on mainstream FM. Radio can be such a shame. Great job Radio Paradise! :)
