Anne Haigis - Info zu Dancing in the fire

Es ist soweit: Ein weiterer Meilenstein in der künstlerischen Entwicklung der Anne Haigis , deren Karriere bisweilen in mächtigen Entwicklungsschüben verlief, liegt endlich vor ! Und er bietet wohl erstmalig die Möglichkeit, sich dieser außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin einmal gesamtperspektivisch zu nähern und dabei auch jene stimmlichen und persönlichen Facetten zu erfassen, die uns bislang trotz zahlreicher und überaus gut gelungener Einzelaufnahmen in der vorliegenden Dichte und Tiefe noch nicht erreichten. Der Anspieltipps sind angesichts der Songfülle- und Qualitäten wahrlich mehr als genug: Rock-Power und Melancholie pur verzahnen sich auf das Engste in Better Without You. Und mit wahren Energieschüben, gebettet auf voluminöse und äußerst tragfähige Bass- und Perkussionswellen, kommt Watching The Children daher, dem nicht zuletzt ein wahrer Meister der elektro-akustischen Teufelsgeige wie Mani Neumann seine text-kommentatorischen Klang-Phantasien mit auf den Weg gab. Und wer möchte sich angesichts der Melissa Etheridge - Komposition Dancing In The Fire - von der prominenten Kollegin, wie übrigens viele der hier vereinten Titel, eigens auf Anne Haigis' Person und Stimme und selbstredend in passgenauer Handarbeit zugeschnitten - nicht selbst davon überzeugen, dass (nicht nur stimmliche) Verwandtschaften bisweilen grandiose Früchte tragen. Kurzum: Man darf gespannt sein, wie die Karriere von Anne Haigis weitergeht. Wahrlich kein Prophet muss allerdings sein, wer nach diesem Album befindet, dass 1997 ein überdurchschnittlich gutes Haigis-Jahr sein wird!
 

01. Dancing in the fire
(Melissa Etheridge)

I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color
To turn inside out and wash in the rain
It loses all perfection in cold water
So the desired look is obtained

And it rises higher and higher
Like this filthy heat above the city sky
And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move

So love is spent dancing in the fire
Too high the cost and too quick the pain
And all that's left for the outsider
Is ashes from dancing in the fire

I think my eyes were made for deception
Interpreting lovers will call what we want the truth
With all I have seen burning behind these mirrors
The reflection they see is all that I pursue

And it rises higher and higher
Like this filthy heat above the city sky
And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move
 

So love is spent dancing in the fire
Too high the cost and too quick the pain
And all that's left for the outsider
Ashes from dancing in the fire

And voices get louder
And the air's too thick to breathe
Still I lie awake and I wait for the unknown power
Dying for want of sleep

 think my life line was stolen from a movie
The one where they are trying to solve the crime
But this prisoner is always one step before them
And everyone's running trying to stop me in time

And it keeps rising higher and higher
Like this filthy heat above the city sky
And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
As if I'm only here to prove
There are lovers I could move

Oh love is spent dancing in the fire
Too high the cost and too quick the pain
And all that's left for the outsider
Ashes from dancing in the fire

04. No man's land
(Tony Carey)

he was my brother born the day I left
he took the mother lode and I took the rest
he was a fighter, he was always in control
he kept a candle burning way down in his soul

shots fired in anger and a widow cries alone
just one more mother's son who won't be coming home
they speak in whispers there are riders to the east
the blind man says mister bring a bottle and a priest

that's the way it always goes
that's the way it's always been
who you are or what you know
you're like a feather in the wind
let the river wash you away
reach the river if you can
past the blue and past the grey
all the way, all the way
all the way to no man's land

there was no shelter there was nowhere left to run
they came like eagles screaming down out of the sun
I heard the whistle sound the engine pulled away
I saw my brother down and I left him where he lay

some fight for honor there are those that fight for gold
some die believing all the fairy tales they're told
there are no heroes and there is no marching bang
there are no miracles down here in no man's land
 

that's the way it always goes
that's the way it's always been
who you are or what you know
you're like a feather in the wind
let the river wash you away
reach the river if you can
past the blue and past the grey
all the way, all the way
all the way to no man's land
(let the river wash away)
(let the river wash away)

that's the way it always goes
that's the way it's always been
who you are or what you know
you're like a feather in the wind
let the river wash you away
reach the river if you can
past the blue and past the grey
all the way, all the way
all the way to no man's land

(let the river wash away) let the river wash away
(let the river wash away) let the river wash away
(let the river wash away) let the river wash away
let the river wash away
let the river wash away

06. Sexual healing
(Marvin Gaye)

Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger

And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me

Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
 

And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh

Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing

Faire fingers drawing lines
Making simple designs up in the air
Hello, how are you - I'm five
And calling to someone pretending they're there
To someone who's never there

Hey

Why don't you pick up the telephone
I just might be somebody you ought to know

Hey

Hide and seek is a baby's game
You don't want to know my name
I'm gonna tell it to you just the same
 

I'm ten years old and much to bold
I get that from you that's what they say anyway
Fifteen's drawings nearer and I see clearer
My face in the mirror
Who do I look like today

Hey

Why don't you pick up the telephone
I just might be somebody you ought to know

Hey

Hide and seek is a baby's game
You don't want to know my name
I'm a gonna tell it to you just the same

10. Out of my mind
(Melissa Etheridge)

In dead of night I picture all the reasons to quit
But my mind's worn out the alternatives won't fit
So I try to justify
Feeling like a domino
No matter where I lie
I'm sleeping on a volcano

So I go to the place where I know you'll be tonight and it makes it alright
And I hear that song when I see you again
It goes la da la la da da da da
You look good
You look so fine
And if I don't touch you soon
I'm gonna go out of my mind
Out of out of my mind
Out of my mind

So I've rehearsed the scene
I've lived it now a thousand times
I see you walking my way and I forget my lines
Oh but I dream of your love
And I can taste your kiss
And I try to forget the fact you don't even know thatb I exist

So I go to the place where I know you'll be tonight and it makes it alright
And I hear that song when I see you again
It goes la da la da da da da
 

And you're moving just right dancing with your best friend
Singing la da la da da da da da
You look good
Oh you look so fine
And if I don't touch you soon
I'm gonna go out of my mind
Out of out of my mind
Out of my mind baby

o peace no sleep my senses just torment me blind
I could be good tonight if you were so inclined
Take me baby, let me hold you and let me love you out of my mind

So I go to the place where I know you're gonna be tonight and it makes it alright
And I hear that song when I see you again
It goes la da la da da da da da
And you're moving just right dancing with your best friend
Singing la da la da da da da da
Oh you look good
Oh baby you look so fine
Darling if I don't touch you soon
I'm gonna go out of my mind
Out of out of my mind
Out of my mind

12. Bed of roses
(Bon Jovi)

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that he's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone

But I'm so far away
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
When my mystery calls me
To stand in this spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
