David Sylvian

David Sylvian (born David Alan Batt, 23 February 1958) is an English singer-songwriter and musician who came to prominence in the late 1970s as the lead vocalist and main songwriter in the group Japan. His subsequent solo work is described by critic Jason Ankeny as "a far-ranging and esoteric career that encompassed not only solo projects but also a series of fascinating collaborative efforts." Sylvian's solo work has been influenced by a variety of musical styles and genres, including jazz, avant-garde, ambient, electronic, and progressive rock. more »

Take my word for it
This never should have happened
What in the world d'ya think
Got into me

We fire at will
And as we watch the pieces shatter
We find were closer
Than we've ever been

She calls my name and I come running
I have lost the voice I listened too
And in the blindness
As my world stops turning
There's a sadness like I never knew
But I still see the shining of things

As the morning breaks
It hardly seems to matter
I hear a shallowness
In everything I say

We've played the night out
In all too familiar fashion
To wear the heart-ache
Through another day

She calls my name and I come running
I have lost the voice I listened too
And there's a stillness now
The rain's stopped falling

there's a sadness like I never knew
But I see the shining of things
