SUNDAYSUBLIME: Julee Cruise - It's The End Of The World As We Know It

Julee Cruise kennt man als geheimnisvolle Chanteuse aus der Twin-Peaks-Serie und dem dazu gehörigen ätherisch hypnotischen Soundtrack. Und über diese grandiose Serie gibt es auch einen sanften Brückenschlag zum Shoegaze hin, denn ursprünglich sollte eigentlich die Cocteau Twins-Sängerin Elizabeth Fraser Lieder wie "Falling" oder "Floating" singen, wenn es nach David Lynch gegangen wäre. Doch es kam anders und Cruise hat mit ihrer Interpretation traumwandlerisch sicher ins Schwarze getroffen.
Sie hat darüber hinaus auch sehr viele grandiose Cover zu bieten, die ebenfalls in ihrem typischen traumwandlerischen Stil daher kommen wie zum Beispiel "If The Kids Are United", ursprünglich von den Punks Sham 69 oder aber diese zurückgenommene und deshalb umso gespenstischere Version des R.E.M.-Tracks "It's The End Of The World As We Know It". Zu finden ist er auf der "Winter Chill"-Compilation aus dem Jahr 2002.

"That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)"
