Asylum Party - Play Alone - 1989
Coldwave, post-punk
Album: Borderline (RYM: 3.57/5)
Wikipédia:
Asylum Party were a French post-punk/coldwave band formed in 1985 in Courbevoie by guitarist-vocalist Philippe Planchon and bassist-vocalist Thierry Sobézyk. The duo later added keyboardist Pascale Macé. Their sound had gothic rock influences and was very similar to English post-punk bands. Asylum Party, along with fellow French coldwave bands of the same period such as Little Nemo and Mary Goes Round, were considered part of the "Touching Pop" movement (Sobézyk also played in the latter).

It’s with great sadness to report that Thierry Sobezyk, bassist and co-vocalist of seminal French coldwave band Asylum Party, has passed away after a long battle with leukemia. The news was announced by fellow Lively Art labelmates Little Nemo, who shared the stage with Sobezyk many times over the years.
Asylum Party formed in 1985 by Thierry Sobezyk and Philippe Planchon. The band quickly rose as one of the shining stars of the French post-punk scene, often labeled as coldwave, (dubbed “la vague froide” by the French press) or Touching Pop, in line with many of their Lively Art labelmates. Sobezyk co-wrote, sang, and played bass on every Asylum Party release, including 1989’s Borderline and 1990’s Mère LPs, two of the strongest records the underground post-punk movement has to offer. He also designed the sleeve for the 1989 What Will You Learn EP, which featured the single “Misfortune?”
my voice is dead
i can only hear the sound
of my own shade
i'm filling that hole
which is just my soul, just my soul
desire somewhere inside me
is so close and so far anyway
it makes me see in white and black
this fucking endless movie i call life
mute love made me lose my faith
and still kills me
silent wars have changed my face
when will i be free ?
i'm playing alone with my poisoned dreams
poisoned dreams
desire somewhere inside me
is so close and so far anyway
it makes me see in white and black
this fucking endless movie i call life
