The Way She Looks at You
from Statement of Intent (Remastered) by A Dark Adapted Heart
lyrics
She's lost in a dream
But then she speaks in her sleep and I know
I know what that means
I sit and I watch her dreaming
Dreaming of you
Her lips move and whisper your name and I know
I don't know what to do
Too many glances from the corner of her eye
Too many chances to catch her out in a lie
'Cos I've seen the way
She looks at you
I've seen it all
Yeah, I've seen the truth
Didn't you think I'd know by now?
And now when I hold her
She's so far away
Whenever we go out together, I'm alone
So what hand will you play?
Your hand on her hand in the dark of the night
That look beforehand in those dark, distracted eyes
'Cos I've seen the way
She looks at you
I've seen it all
Yeah, I've seen the truth
Didn't you think I'd know by now?

A Dark Adapted Heart recommends:
-
Perfectly described by someone else as 'Britney Spears singing with Nine Inch Nails'. Perfect pop-synth-joy-misery-singalongs that feel like metal even though there are no guitars. Ace videos too.

The Tyranny Of Inaction
by Rosetta StoneA stone cold classic goth-industrial album chock full of brilliant songs. Can't recommend it enough.
go to album -
Lay There & Drown / The Hole (single)
by the WeepLovely, gnarly tom-driven 90s-style goth but better. Great lyrics; great vocals. Sounds a bit like The Marionettes but properly produced. Can imagine this one becoming a pre-midnight Slimes classic.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
go to album -
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
go to album -
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur.
