With Abney Park’s unique darkwave style, one can easily imagine inspiration drawn from fairy tales and nightmares, and recollect a past that never was. Heavy Steampunk inspiration creates style quite unlike anything else.
Abney Park began around 1997, but their popularity exploded with the onset of internet music, with much success through MP3.com in the early 2000’s. The band was a regular chart topper, often holding the number 1 – 5 positions in Goth and Darkwave, and Industrial Dance music charts. In 2005 the band morphed from a more Darkwave/Industrial inspired act to a Steampunk inspired act.
Abney Park’s music has been featured on a number of movie soundtracks, including “Insomnis Amour”, “Goth”, and “Lord of the Vampires”. The band’s music has also been featured in many compilation CD’s, including Cleopatra Records “The Unquiet Grave” vol. III, “Annihilation and Seduction”, “Eighteen” and many more.
Abney Park has performed all over the North America, appearing in Portland, Chicago, Las Vegas, Reno, Hollywood, and countless shows in their home base of Seattle. Their fans form a near-cult following, and have been known to travel from as far as New Zealand and Mexico City just to see them perform.
作曲 : Robert Brown
Wish I could breathe
Wish I could stand
Wish I had a chance here holding your hand
Wish I could speak
Wish I could talk
Wish I could breathe
Since the first day I was alive
I feared we would meet here in the misty outside
Wanted to run
Wanted to hide
Wish I could breathe
I feel a chill deep in my bones
Nothing can quench
My bitter thirst
Wish I could breathe
Grasp at my heart that burns in my chest
It’s your precious art that makes my soul stressed
Run short of blood
Light-headed I swoon
Wish I could breathe
I fear we can’t overcome
This place
I know
Your face
Your hands
Wish I could breathe
Wish I could breathe
Wish I could stand
Wish I had a chance here holding your hand
Wish I could speak
Wish I could talk
Wish I could breathe
Since the first day I was alive
I feared we would meet here in the misty outside
Wanted to run
Wanted to hide
Wish I could breathe
I fear we can’t overcome
This place
I know
Your face
Your hands
Wish I could breathe
Wish I could breathe
Wish I could fall
Wish I could blink after the fall
Wish I could talk
Wish I could speak
Wish I could breathe
