1980s and 90s Vol 2 Ballads

by Greg Dear

supported by

peter_of_perth_hills 5 of the gentler, emotive songs from 1988's Beautiful Losers release "Lover/Saint", along with 4 from the earlier Holyrollers album (one with alternate versions), are featured here. The arpeggio riff of "Promise" is gorgeous, and "Turning In My Grave" is my favourite song ever - it's amazing that with all the ebbs and flows, with the music sucked deep into your soul, the song clocks in at under 2:45. Favorite track: Turning in My Grave.
