歌词
I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say
But in the winter of his presence I've always felt warm and safe
I always knew no skirt no suit would ever bother me
As long as he is present, as long as this man stayed close to me
I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact
He's the only human friend that I ever had
Which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
By the methods that exist to blow out people's lights ...
I wouldn't be surprised at all
If someday I found out
That he had thoroughly checked on my life
And on my background
And confidently reconfirmed
By the things he didn't find
He then granted me access to a small part
Of his secret life ...
I know it must seem to you
Like the strangest thing to say
But in the winter of his presence
I've always felt warm and safe ...
I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills
Because, you see, men are the only species that he kills
Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact
He is the only human friend that I ever had
I rarely ponder on him
In the wayward hours of the day
But am surprised at my own delight
I find in seeing him again
White shirt, black tie, exquisite twine
I'm brewing tea, he's having wine
It's quite seductive, if it's right
The perfect way to spend the night ...
I do like his company, I enjoy it, in fact
He's the only human friend that I ever had
Which is quite ironic, 'cause he's mostly occupied
By the methods that exist to blow out people's lights ...
I never had to worry though, it can't give me the chills
Because, you see, men are the only species that he kills
Oh, that's why I love his company, quite enjoy it, in fact
He is the only human friend that I ever had
Each act performed is like a ballet, a prayer, precise and acute
Oh, how I do admire such perfect business-like attitude
Both in style and execution, virtuously immaculate ...-
And flawlessly equated to the savage fee that he has set
Built just like the ideal of an athlete, my champion of sorts
His price is one that only broken hearts are willing to afford
Death is always quite disastrous, messy, common and obscene
But in the golden hour when he leaves all is stainless, all is clean ...
If I, one day, might also decide to need
This special kind of service that this man provides
Oh, I will pray that my fate kindly agrees to the plot
And sends someone like this man to come and finish the job
Because I just cannot bear the foul and blasphemous thought
That involves getting slain by some filthy amateur's hands
I know it must seem to you like the strangest thing to say
But in the winter of his presence I always felt warm and safe
I know that you must surely think me mad
But he's the most human friend that I ever had ...

多添一点：
今天分享一首来自Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows（永恒沉睡&影子剧团）的《A strange Thing to say 》。
小E今天选择的歌曲是哥特感觉的，偏阴暗，视频谨慎观看。如有不适请听只听音乐，音乐还是很好听的。这首歌来自他们2010年专辑《A Triptychon Of Ghosts Part One - A Strange Thing 2 Say》。对于音乐小E不讲太多，大家自己感受吧。不过他们的编曲和整体音乐的感觉都很好，看看他们团队。
Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows是1989年成立于德国的一只暗波乐队，他们是为数不多的黑暗系组织。用音乐、诗歌和视觉外观建立了三位一体的暗黑系作品。他们以高度个人化的方式表达痛苦、孤独、抑郁、象征性的自杀和寻找神圣感。这些想法和部分主要来自他们的主角跨性别者安娜-瓦尔尼·坎托迪亚(Anna-Varney Cantodea)。
Anna-Varney在20岁的时候，曾患有严重的抑郁症和情绪问题。她的早年生活并不容易。她的母亲给她提供食物、衣服，但也殴打她，这使Anna成为一个非常敏感的孩子，对精神世界的微妙振动敏感。这些痛苦的经历，造就了Anna-Varney的灵魂。
她把自己的梦想解释为“七层地狱的剧场”。不过还好，Anna-Varney有她心灵上的朋友;那些引导、建议和帮助她的非物质的生命。她称他们为“影子剧团”，她认为他们不仅是她的一部分，激励了她，也帮助她避免了自杀。她总是说，她不创造音乐，她只是接受音乐。她在一次采访中说“我相信整个宇宙都充满了音乐，”。她只是把一直存在于非物质世界的物质世界变成了现实。
Anna的音乐非常情绪化和忧郁，从电子音乐开始到电子哥特音乐，再到中世纪和文艺复兴音乐，风格不断地变化和发展。在Anna的音乐中，我们可以找到传统的乐器，如管乐器，吉他，贝斯和弦乐四重奏，还有合成器或鼓机。
直到今天，Anna和团队仍然拒绝在人类观众面前进行现场表演，真名无人知晓，但长期以来，影子剧团一直在世界各地的地下圈子里获得了邪教般的地位。
大家可以用开放的心和思想去接触他们的音乐，他们音乐中多层次的艺术感和深邃的黑暗(偶尔是颠覆性的幽默)，对受伤的灵魂而言也许会有一些共鸣。
他们的另一首歌也很不错
