Happy Eternity to all-

Peter

TRUTH

The Cosmos is infinite. I am a part

Of the Cosmos, its head and its heart.

If God include all, shall He not compass me?

If He is, then I am. If I am, is not He?

No matter how infinitesimal I,

I am one with infinity. Why should I cry

I am nothing, if nothingness still may include

The desire and the dream of all Infinitude?

I am small? Be it so. But I also am great

While my smallness is part of God's ample estate.

- Frank Householder

All I’ve got to do is win.

It ain’t over.”

Peter Murphy has not cancelled the remaining Bauhaus shows. Simply postponed, that is, as far as PM himself goes.

Congratulations to my Son Adem and Susan married only just yesterday.

Cool cool breeze

Rivers flow below

The darkened room is closing down

A light emblazoned within a breast

Extracting from the sun

My hand is reaching for the stars

Your hand is swooping low

A long long journey

Wuthering heights

A goal dead center clear

A lamp is here

To guide the way

Far away yet so close

These words I know are bound and stuck

These words I know are bound and stuck

But use them much I know we must

To paint a collage blue and gold

To touch each others touch

I clasp invisible motion waves

Of stories from your house

Your eyes look like emeralds

With you I'm in no danger

Your eyes look like emeralds

With you I'm in no danger

And if I die before you go

And if I cannot reach you'll know

A bird of feathers white as snow

I'll send beyond the breach

My message will endow it strong

This journey's one way ticket long

I'll tell you in the silent zone

The story of The Moor

I am only reminding people to remember what they already know-

“It may be cliched to call them The Godfather’s of Goth, but it’s also challenging to explain one band’s impact over such a short time. Bauhaus are to post-punk and goth what the Sex Pistols were to punk in terms of impact, and The Clash in the melding of musical styles. They defined a genre, crafted two perfect albums that ignited a movement, and set the stage for a number of new artists to carry the torch. Interestingly, one could view Bauhaus as an all-star band, but the process for each member coming into their own is reversed. The sum of the offshoots returns to a place where each band member is known by their reputation, not necessarily their early legacy. I mean, how many bands are there from four decades ago where every fan knows each of their individual names?

Peter Murphy…is arguably at the top of his game onstage.”
