This is now, my third Peter Murphy cover, to say I have a deep admiration for this artist would be an understatement. This was also a request from a friend on the facebook side of life. Which I was happy to undertake. Though, admittedly, this has been the most challenging song I have worked on to date. Peter has a very unique phrasing, and often his songs, like poems, feel like mantras, and that, part of his musical mystique is his use of a 12 string acoustic guitar, and mine has a date with a luthier.
And, yet, beauty is subjective, I find something intrinsically beautiful about the artist. And as I have mentioned in the past, the only performing artist I will travel around the world to see. A habit I have reserved over the decades; for, as to pierce my eyes, and senses with the most beautiful things this universe has to offer. There is a purity, that is hard to explain when he is on stage and performing.. He truly brings a moment of bliss and beauty.. .. Ok you get it Im a fan . He does now struggle with health, and I, and his many fans wish him well.
A Strange Kind of Love is a song from his third solo studio album, Deep (1989). Produced by Murphy himself and Simon Rogers, it was released as the third single off the album in 1990. Peters Notoriety grew from being the lead vocalist of Bauhaus and later formed the band Dalis Car before embarking on his solo career.

~♥ A strange kind of love
A strange kind of feeling
Swims through your eyes
And like the doors to a wide vast dominion
They open to your prize.
This is no terror ground
No place for the rage
No broken hearts, white washed lies
Just a taste for the truth, perfect taste, choice and meaning
A look into your eyes.
Blind to the gemstone, alone
A smile from a frown circles round
Should he stay, or should he go
Let him shout a rage so strong
A rage that knows, no right or wrong
And takes a little piece of you
There is no middle ground
Well thats how it seems
For us to walk or to take
Instead we tumble down, either side, left or right.
To Love or to Hate.~♥
