Don't get me wrong. The thing I want to say is if you thing PSB are going to include any song similar to "left to my own devices" or "my hand over my heart" (the Marc Almond song). Amazing pop songs with orchestral arrangements.
Probably Numb is going to be one of them (but I thing is a sad song), I'm talking about a more optimistic hym.
Are you expecting for a Left to my own devices 2?

Weren't "Miracles" and "Somewhere" in the vein of Left to my own devices? Though Somewhere features a crazy orchestral arrangement

I wouldn't say so. "Mircales" is nowhere nearly as OTT as Left to my own devices. "Somewhere" was a mess of gigantic proportions, wheras the production of Left to my own devices was impeccable.MarcoS wrote:Weren't "Miracles" and "Somewhere" in the vein of Left to my own devices?

We have assassinated a dozen kings, five popes, half a hundred heroes and two accredited gods. Our last commission before this was the torturing to death of an entire monastery in sixteenth century Tuscany. We are utterly professional." - Mr Croup

Hmmm, from what we've been told so far, the album is virtually 100% electronic. The only exception is 'Numb' which is reported to contain strong orchestral elements.
Mind you, that's not to say that there won't be synth-based strings on the album - Very had loads after all.

Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.

Amen, sister !Janet Street-Porter wrote:Left to my own devices is timeless and in many ways the definitive PSB song. I hope the new album is full of tracks in the same vein - think Can you forgive her? too - with lots of fabulous things going on in the background, a killer melody and excellent lyrics.
I like it here ~~ wherever it is ...

I became a PSB fan with Left To My Own Devices. For me, it's their best ever song.Janet Street-Porter wrote:Left to my own devices is timeless and in many ways the definitive PSB song.

I would like to ask one thing: how many songs include the new album?. If the answer is 9, it probably means the new album will have a long running song at least. When you thing you are doing an "epic" song, this one used to last something more.
What do you think?
