Almost With You (04:14)
The Church • The Blurred Crusade
See the chains which bind the men
Can you taste their lonely arrogance
It's always too late
And your face is so cold
They struggled for this opulence
See the suns which blind the men
Burnt away so long before our time
Now their warmth is forgotten and gone
Pretty maids not far behind


Who you trying to get in touch with
I'm almost with you
I can sense it wait for me
I'm almost with you
Is this the taste of victory
I'm almost with you
See the dust which fills your sleep
Does it always feel this chill near the end
I never dreamed we'd meet here once more
This laugh reserved for a friend

    Ascoltata per la prima volta alla radio nel 1982, Radio Massarosa Sound nel programma serale del mio amico Fabrizio : mi presero subito! Chitarre 12 corde suono compatto , poderoso che ti sbatte giù con un solo fraseggio. Colpo di classe di questo brano il solo con la chitarra classica! Pezzo che ti carica a molla! La “ chiesa australiana” apre le porte e chiama i suoi fedeli......

When You Were Mine (05:45)
The Church • The Blurred Crusade
On a day like this, a hundred lifetimes ago
You on a shore, across the point
I looked through my hands and you drew me a line
When you were mine
On a world like this, a hundred turns left to go
Deep in a room, which I've never seen
Outside it's so cold but I'm waiting for time
When you were mine


Plenty of islands between now and then
Rocks break the boats of the painted face men
And they drown, and they're born
And they live once again
And this all happens
When you were mine


In a storm like this, a hundred kisses of snow
You with another so easily sleep
What's real and what's dreamt become close and entwine
When you were mine

    Dopo l’introduzione di Ploog ( che ammiro come batterista) si scatena una battaglia vera e propria a colpi di chitarre! Marty e Peter se le danno di santa ragione sferrando colpi da maestri delle sei corde, a volte sembra di cadere giù dalle scale quelle dell’altare glorioso della “ neo-psichedelica” termine che risuonerà forte in questi anni .....epico!

Fields of Mars (04:54)
The Church • The Blurred Crusade
It's a long way home from the Field of Mars
Distant, alone, beneath the platinum stars
And I turn to look, but I'm never any closer
Only just the rain makes the skin feel colder
All my life seems so far away
The air is soft in the Field of Mars
Tears and loss feed the overgrown grass
And I have to leave, but I never seem to go
Only more sad clouds where autumn winds will blow
All my dreams seem so long ago
Oh, Field of Mars
Time is past in the Field of Mars
Grief won't last in the departing cars
And I call her name, but she never, ever hears
And I call again to the cruelty of the years
Oh my love she's so far away
Oh, Field of Mars.

The Field of Mars is a large park and square in the center of Saint Petersburg with an area of almost 9 hectares. Named after the Roman god of war, the Field was for a long time the setting for military parades and drills for imperial guards regiments. Monuments to military leaders Pyotr Rumyantsev and Alexander Suvorov have been erected here. Its layout remains unchanged.

    Non sai se sono campane o chitarre o forse tutte e due insieme che ci dicono che qualcosa accade nei “ Fields of Mars”....il basso pressa , le chitarre rispondono , brillano come le stelle sopra......poi parte il solo prima calmo rassicurante ma poi quasi urla.....tum tum tum... Ploog ribatte.....e in coda suoni riverberati chiudono questa perla.

An Interlude (04:32)
The Church • The Blurred Crusade
"They're going to send you away" she said
Psychic angels spread on the top of her head
And in the compartments of my dread
The rush hour crush travels home to bed
"You never seem to hear" she smiled
Statues tiptoe for a glimpse of the child
The lawns are always lush and wild
Spacious floors bejeweled and tiled
"How are you getting home" she laughed
Mermaids drowned but I clung to the raft
It's just the water in the bath
An interlude for the busy staff

    Dopo l’uscita dell’album incominciò a girare questo video su Videomusic e finalmente vidi i miei eroi! In un bosco tra le ombre, un’eclissi un cavaliere un viso una voce .....tutto molto misterioso, bellissimo! La grandezza di questo pezzo là si capisce già dal lungo ed inusuale intro di chitarra che si trasforma poi in un bellissimo solo di Peter Koppes.... che ha un tocco ed un fraseggio sempre molto accattivante...senza parolle, il pezzo ti lascia senza parole perché quando finisce dici....ma che roba é!!!?? Ma da dove vengono da Marte!?

You Took (08:02)
The Church • The Blurred Crusade
You took a piece of my heart
You took a piece of my heart
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
It was clear in coming here
I must have put the horse before the cart
Before the cart
You took the lead from the start
You took the lead from the start
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
It was clear in coming here
I must have put the skin before the heart
Before the heart
You took the rest of the day
You took the rest of the day
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
Now that it's all over
Now there's just some coldness in my way
It's in my way
You took the clubs and the spades
You took the clubs and the spades
And I don't know why
No I don't know why
It's a shame it's not a game
We're playing in it's just the blurred crusade
The blurred crusade
