Golden Feeling Demo

The streets are open wide for a brand new adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the black-leathered knights are crawling out of their basements
And handing the tickets for the night
Gonna stay for a while 'cause there's no chance to hide
Your money runs out for the film

Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperadoes in love won't kill this sweet dove
For a nugget of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon, you can't escape
The fleeting bullet of a kiss

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

It's a new situation
The start of a game, you've already won the prize
He's a lunatic dancer
Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice
There's no turning back
No time for regrets, you should've known better, though
Another chance to fall in love
Another chance to turn you on
Another chance - to turn you on

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Yes, I know that... But there's still different second verse... There's something like "you cry by the wall..." I don't remember.
And if I try to write it by ear we'll a lot of stuff to discuss in lyrics misunderstandng topic! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> (Last few days I often mishear even russian words)

I LOVE Golden Feeling. I also like the movie version very much.

In the beginning of the movie you can hear the GF demo...

I'm interested in GF dreamscapes version lyrics... I love the song but that's the only version I've heard...

Golden Feeling is very special for me!

I especially like the part

bleeding bullet of a kiss

wonderful

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

So 6+ years later any ideas on what Marian sings after "your money runs out for the film" and before "it's a new situation"? [magnify]

Golden Feeling

Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperadoes in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nuggets of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon, you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss
Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

It's a new situation
The start of a game, you've already won the prize
He's a lunatic dancer
Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice
There's no turning back
No time for regrets, you should've known better, though
Another chance to fall in love
Another chance to turn you on
Another chance - to turn you on

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine



Golden Feeling [Demo 1]

The streets are open wide for a brand new adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the black-leathered knights are crawling out of their basements
And handing the tickets for the night
Gonna stay for a while 'cause there's no chance to hide
Your money runs out for the film

Though this place is so crowded
You feel so alone 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperadoes in love won't kill this sweet dove
For a nugget of fleeting bliss
C'mon, c'mon, you can't escape
The fleeting bullet of a kiss

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

It's a new situation
The start of a game, you've already won the prize
He's a lunatic dancer
Who's not aware that he's skating on thin ice
There's no turning back
No time for regrets, you should've known better, though
Another chance to fall in love
Another chance to turn you on
Another chance - to turn you on

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Lyrics section
Some others lyrics from demos are available.

uuuh... the same old story.... funny how some things never change.
What's the use in saying again what was already written on this same page?

I'm very well acquainted with the lyrics from Cosmic Meadows encyclopaedia as I've been acquainted with it 6 years ago and it's not FULL version of the lyrics. And what I wondered was if anybody tried to figure out what else Marian actually sings.

I think a while ago Trent tried to figure out all the lyrics the way Marian sings the songs and not the way they're officially stated on Moonbase. But it's eternity since his site is down.

I'll have a listen to it and see if I can work it out (no promises).

OK, this is what I hear (but I'm sure it's not right. It's too difficult to hear)...

Lay your body right down for the thrill
You’re free, you’re alive, there’s no time for regrets
Push the door, you’re alive, breaking in…., for the kill.

(... means I have no clue what that part is).

Anyone got any better ideas?

Kaz, I really really love you.


(and I'm not good in hearing lyrics, I know, that's why I asked) [smile2]

And I'm not much better!

(and I love you too!)

Golden Feeling is very special for me too!
[smile]
Especially a refrain and a part from it:
"Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes"
[jump2][jump2][jump2][jump2][jump2]

oh oh!! now there is Golden Feeling live.......... perhaps those lyrics are different too! Poor Alien... did you ever get your question answered?

But nevertheless in demo version from DS3 else the second couplet too is no such which is written in Cosmic Meadows. In demo version from DS3 Marian is singing another lyrics.
I hear in it only: "....is much too sweet, ....is much too sweet" and right at the end of it: "... never lastly kiss, ....never lastly kiss" (?) and I don't hear anything more.

Funny when I came back home this evening I was listening to this song in my car.

It woke up memories... Listening in bed with my old walkman to GF.... [smile]

What I heard from the second verse. Still working on it, not satisfied with other missing lines yet.

Since you're up with her it feels like a sip
B'cause the taste is much to sweet, is much to sweet
And the massive chaos of the city grooves
It's where abandon [...] to fear, it's only a flick
And you [...] a world, you worry the call at it some but you leave its the rest (?)
No doubt you're just for the diamond road in a neverlasting kiss, neverlasting.

jetset, thank you very very much!!! [spin]

Golden Feeling Demo 1 lyrics
 

I posted Golden Feeling Demo 1 video on youtube and, as I always do, included lyrics in the commentary. Some lyrics are the same as in the original version but there is a lot of new ones that can't be found anywhere I know. I understood some of the lyrics myself but still there're empty places here and there. Any help with unknown lyrics or the misheard ones would be appreciated. Here are the lyrics:

The streets are open wide for a brand new adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the black leathered knights crawling out of their basements
And handing the tickets for the night, for the night
Gonna stay for a while, 'cause there's no chance to hide
Your money runs out for the film, for the film
Here's the freedom of life, there's no time for regrets
Through the light, pushing through, through the light
(?)

Though the place's so crowded
You feel so alone, 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nugget of fleeting bliss
Come on, come on, you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Since you're up the hill, it feels like a sin
'cause it tastes much too sweet, it's much too sweet
(?)
And you claim what you want, you will need to go
When it's time that you leave this press
But now you 'll just die in a road
In an everlasting kiss, everlasting

I've got all of these lyrics, and "It's a new situation" part wasn't in the demo. I'm missing some other parts that were in the demo version only.

I once tried to decipher those unwritten lyrics, but as I'm not a native I usually make up funny expressions ;)
Here is my attempt on this :
http://www.alphaville.org/showthread...grooves&page=2

Since you're up with her it feels like a sip
B'cause the taste is much too sweet, is much too sweet
And the massive chaos of the city grooves
It's where abandon [...] to fear, it's only a flick
And you [...] a world, you worry the call at it some but you leave its the rest (?)
No doubt you're just for the diamond road in a neverlasting kiss, neverlasting.

Your help is welcome....

You got some words better than me, I tried to choose the best possible words, and now it would look like this:

The streets are open wide for a brand new adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the black leathered knights crawling out of their basements
And handing the tickets for the night, for the night
Gonna stay for a while, 'cause there's no chance to hide
Lay your body right down for the thrill, for the thrill
You are free, you're alive, there's no time for regrets
You're alive, push the door, you're alive
And heading for the killer, for the kill

Though the place's so crowded
You feel so alone, 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For nugget of fleeting bliss
Come on, come on, you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Since you're up with her, it feels like a sin
'cause the taste is much too sweet, it's much too sweet
And the massive chaos of the city moves
It's where (?), it's only a flick
And you claim what you want, you will need to go
When it's time that you leave this to rest
No doubt you're just for diamond road
In an everlasting kiss, everlasting

Great work !
not sure about some words though, like sin or moves, because when using headphones I heard different consonants. As always in such cases, we would need several inputs to make sure we are on the right track.

Here's my best stab at the lyrics. I've put my changes in CAPS. Pretty confident in most of them... but don't ask me what a "fathom boy" is!


The streets are open wide for a brand new adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the black leathered PUNKS crawling out of the basement
And hand in the tickets for the night, for the night
Gonna stay for a while, 'cause there's no chance to hide
Lay your MONEY right down for the thrill, for the thrill
You are free, you're alive and there's no time for regrets
You're alive, push the door, you're alive
And YOU HIT THE THRILL RIDE (or RIGHT?) for the kill

Though the place is so crowded
You feel so alone, 'cause you're eye to eye with him
And you know he will take you
He's got nothing to lose and there's no way for you to win
Desperados in love won't kill this sweet dove
For a nugget of fleeting bliss
Come on, come on, you can't escape
The bleeding bullet of a kiss

Here comes that golden feeling
It's shining in your eyes
We're always going on and on
Right from that day they start to shine

Since you're up with her, it feels like a sin
'cause the taste is much too sweet, it's much too sweet
And the MASSIVE DECAY of the city moves
It's where A FATHOM BOY'S ONLY A FLING, it's only a FLING
AND YOU CLAIM ALL ALONG YOU WON'T EVEN CALL
AND ITS TIME THAT YOU LEAVE THIS CARESS
BUT NOW YOU'RE JUST (a) POOR GUY IN THE ROAD
In an everlasting kiss, everlasting kiss

Firstly I'd like to thank you for the time you spent on this, Happysheep.
It seems to confirm one direction, I may be wrong but I had always thought this was about two lovers meeting in the midst of a crowd and the rest of the people was blurred. But it could have, or it's just my imagination, a link with The Breathtaking Blue and the James Dean's crash, a car race on which onlookers bet, and all the protagonists of the scene are in for a rush of adrenaline.

My interpretation of the song is pretty simple. A black-leathered "punk" pays to go into a club, seeking excitement. The point of view then switches to the girl, as she and the boy meet and then kiss. In the final verse the point of view switches back to the boy, as he realizes that what was just supposed to be a "fling" is something way more intense, and that he doesn't want to let her go.

?

...Or it simply has to do with the Der Bulle und Das Mädchen story !

Tough transcription indeed, I'm having a hard time on the same parts years after :)
I disagree for PUNKS, but I'm ok for YOU WON'T EVEN CALL.
I hear "And heading for the TWILIGHT" in the first verse.
The more I try to get the lines the more I come up with nonsense phrases :

Since you're LOCK with her, it feels like a sin
'cause the taste is much too sweet, it's much too sweet
AND THE MASS IN THE CHAOS OF THE CITY GROOVES

Even Marian doesn't know what the song is about! It's a great song regardless, either in demo or completed form. One of the best opening songs too.

- That's not the right answer.
The right answer is Hungary
- Is what ?
- Hungary !
- Hungry ?
- Like I'm Hungary
- That's a country ?


This is an SOS for 7ven...

'mmmhkay out there, I had a call with Marian this noon and he confessed the lyrics are simply not documented anywhere, so he wrote them down using his genius memory plus the DS-Version of GF. Here's his reply:

...really hard to grasp the words I have to admit:

The streets are opened wide for a brandnew adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the blackleathered knights are crawling out of their basements
And handing the tickets for the night
Won't you stay for a while 'coz there's no chance to hide
Lay your money right down for the bill
? alive, there's no time for regrets (you're alive)
?, now come in for the kill (you're alive), for the kill...
So this place is so crowded... etc

Can't decode the exact words I'm singing where I placed the questionmark. But I still remember their semantic content. It deals with the idea that "one is destined to exist ="thrown into existence" as Albert Camus wrote. In context of the song it means that although it is not one's decision to be born, at least one can draw some excitement out of the fact of life, which kind of represents one's ticket to the adventures of the night= the game of life and death brought on by its seductive yet ominous messengers, the "blackleathered knights". Well, that's it roughly...
From Alphaville with love
Marian Gold

Hey, first of all, many thanks Toby for asking directly to Marian.[thumbup]
I now understand why the Dreamscapes booklet only provided the official lyrics, not the draft ones. Of course a bit disappointed not to get a full review of the verses but, on the other hand, Marian's explanation sheds a light on this song and this defo deserves a post on the AVNow site.

Thank you so much!! So my question is, when Marian was singing this demo for the first time, he didn't know what he was singing or did he forget what the lyrics were now when he was asked at question? While listening to the demo, he's obviously saying something, but what? [laugh] So my interpretation is that he doesn't remember the lyrics. And I definitely agree! I feel his should be posted on the AVNow website. I'm sure many others have the same question.

yepp - also done - thanks for the reminder :)

Great ;) !

I love the picture that was posted on the tumbler. It's a nice picture of Marian!

Hi Nicole, as a native what do you hear in the second verse, just curious [smile]

Well, after listening to the song over and over, and still can't understand what Marian is singing, this is definitely going to be a mystery. This is what I interpreted the missing lyrics were. I don't know why I think Marian sang, "He's Prettier Alive" in the first missing spot, but I just keep on hearing that everytime I listen to the song. I'm sure I have the second spot down pretty well. "Pushing Doors through the Line." I'm not sure if either makes sense, but this is what I'm hearing everytime, so I went with it!

The streets are opened wide for a brandnew adventure
The asphalt flashes in the light
And the blackleathered knights are crawling out of their basements
And handing the tickets for the night
Won't you stay for a while 'coz there's no chance to hide
Lay your money right down for the bill
HES PRETTIER ALIVE, there's no time for regrets (you're alive)
PUSHING DOORS THROUGH THE LINE, now come in for the kill (you're alive), for the kill...
So this place is so crowded... etc
