Very cool....he was covered by some other artists as well, The Bevis Frond, Damon & Naomi, Ghost....I have a CD of songs by some of these and others that are all Tom Rapp songs, "For The Dead In Space," released in 1997.
I remember the original, by Rapp with Pearls Before Swine. He wrote some incredibly great songs...not every one was, but quite a few. He famously wrote a song called "(Oh Dear) Miss Morse," n One Nation Underground that spelled out an expletive in Morse code that was banned from the radio for a time. But most of his songs were hauntingly beautiful and very psychedelic. Interesting that This Mortal Coil's title is "Filigree and Shadow," although it doesn't seem to be related, the band Fever Tree had a song of the same name. And, I just found out, also released a compilation of the same name in 2002, although the original was on their eponymous LP, released in 1968.

Sounds amazing, it would be my only chance for a record deal.
My first thought was Arthur Brown’s “Fire” because I’d like to have a sense of humour even in death. “Fire, I'll take you to burn. Fire, I'd take you to [urn] Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn!” That song would work better if I was being burnt onto a CD-R. Maybe I’d chose Ennio Morricone’s L’arena or Beethoven’s 7th, second movement, which may be me all-time favourite piece of music, and not just because it was used in Zardoz. Changed my mind -- Nick Drake's "River Man" to guide me down the Styx or as a song for Vinylhalla. Edited by Logan - January 25 2019 at 13:11 |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

In the early '90s I recorded a daft cover of "My Way", so that would be my choice.

this one... sort of sums me up in one song.. lyrcically and musically.. deeply in my alltime favorite songs and much because it always spoke very personally to me.. at me...

 you really are such a sweetie.You know.. that has been a favorite song of mine for many years. In a musical sense, only within the last decade or so did that really hit me hard in a lyrical sense. Neil really was on point when he said that Stephen was not only the heart and soul of that group (as he was was CSN(and Y) was was also f**king brilliant. Generally I am not a lyrics kind of guy.. more certainly when it comes to prog where my distain for most of it is well known.... but you know. Just sometimes... the lyrics (which took me years due to the shear kickassery of the music itself to fully appreciate) just connect with you and speak to you and at you. that final verse in conjunction with the musical coda to me .. is just pure musical perfection and speaks to those who continue to exist but have been severely wounded by the harshness and impersonality of life itself. Still able to feel but with a hardness of heart that only the real survivors of the worse that life can throw at you can fully appreciate.
