Erasure - Storm Chaser EP (2007)

Two equisite remixes from Erasure's 'Storm Chaser' EP dating back to 2007, remixes which for me seemed to bring them back on track of their perfect pop work in the 1990s. Having been my favourite band pretty much since their existence, I must admit that Erasure somewhat slipped from my radar a bit since their acclaimed 'Chorus' (1991) and 'I Say I Say I Say' (1994) albums. Perhaps they had experimented a bit too much on different styles, styles I couldn't relate to anymore? Who knows, something didn't quite work for my ears, but with the two tracks below they managed to re-capture my imagination and believe in them. You go girls!
Because these are remixes from an EP, they didn't come with actual single release videos. And without further ado I give you: 'Golden Heart' and 'Storm in a Teacup'. Enjoy.

Erasure - Golden Heart (GRN's Golden Glow Remix Edit)



Lyrics:

Like a bubble that's floating
On high above
I won't break down
I won't cry
But the colours are melting
I am fragile

I've been acting so coldly
And hope some day
That you will forgive me

You are the one
That knows me for who I really am
It'll all be gone in the morning
We are lucky
Owe it all to fortune

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

There's a light at
The end of the tunnel
I am crawling slowly
I am small

What's been up with me lately?
Hardly know me
Who's that in the mirror?

You are the one
That knows my moods of joy and anger
You've been coping and lonely
We are lucky
Owe it all to fortune

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Golden heart
Tears of love
Shining
Will glow

Lyrics:

I'm just saying
I want my mummy back
Lost her to the drink
But her soul's intact
Mama said to me
Be proud of who you are
She saw Jesus in the eyes
Of a broken man

Sail away
I am learning my lesson
Mama sends her love
And Godspeed you come home soon

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

I'm just saying
Not behind daddy's back
He takes care of her
In his overtime
He's no saint I know
As he goes around the town
Watch him cry himself to sleep
He's my daddy

Sail away
I will go it alone now
Leave my past behind
To seek fortune and fame

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

Sail away
There's a storm in a teacup
Mama sends her love
And Godspeed you come home

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Kissed her farewell
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night

One little white lie was enough
To conceal my goodbye
Then I stole away
Like a prodigal son
And wished her the best for life
Then I stole away, woah
Like a thief in the night
