Alison Moyet - Other Lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DxqTPew7aM

Clive you're a stupid ignorant american

my god woman youve never been away, back so much stronger

If she's never been away how can she be " back " ? Stupid comment.!

Alison Moyet, i get older and she and i love her voice ever now.

Quando eri obesa eri più simpatica e anche brava

Cambia la clave y se adapta a todo. La amo.

Hermoso! :-)

Hurry back to Edinburgh Please

love this alison moyet is something special

Crying.... so awesome! Love your songs, your voice...

Such a great artist, probably one of my favourites of all-time.

Lindíssimo!

so close to tears listening to this... you have reached down into raw emotional depth & touched my heart xx

Very nice.

Such a beautiful, soul touching song, 👌

I saw her live this week..  An amazing lady and a phenomenal show, see her live if you ever get the chance!

I hope one day to meet You, Miss Moyet. It would be an honor and privilege.

Gorgeous song.

I hate a song that makes me.cry. This is beautiful.

good god....... there are not words

belleza y sensibilidad

She reminds me of my oldest Daughter. She is awesome Pure Class

Wow..go Alison. This is deeper, more refined and more perfectly performed than any female artist today. I'll see her live in a couple months live and I know it will be an experience to remember. Congrats Alison. Your voice calls at a time when the world needs to hear it. This song just captivated me. Welcome again my love, it's great to hear your voice...

Such a shame I won't be able to see Alf's gig this November. I'll be in Egypt!

I'm crying it's so beautiful.

Hi All, as of Friday 23rd June, Alison`s New album `Other`, is a NEW entry into the U.K album charts, hitting Number 12...This is lower than I personally expected and proves the point, that you have to do some follow-up T.V/Radio promo work, to ensure that the album has some `legs` going into the final chart position, at the end of the week. The album is a fantastic follow-up to `The Minutes` and it would be disappointing to see it `fall away` after just 1 week, in the Top 20. We can imagine that there will be strong interest in the album when Alison begins the World Tour, but initial `Selling` of the product, is essential...

Hi All, `Other` has dipped to number 34 on the Mid-Week Album Chart here in the U.K.

Great comments everyone. Great to see nothing negative for a change. I find it incredible that most of these comments are by males. Come on girls, leave Katy Perry on the shelf and get on board with a great female artist. Although she does have a, sometimes, masculine voice, certainly sings a few octaves lower than David Surkamp (Pavlov's Dog).

How easy it is to fall in love...

love you Alfie. So happy for your success. Loved you since Yazoo!!

so neat! this is great! I just loved it

Beautiful song. Nuff said.

Love Alison Moyet's new album. Xx

unbearably beautiful...

will you make a Concert in Germany?? (Please!!) i will do evrything to go to your Concert, i have already ben there as i was five years old, and i was sick, but for you; ALWAYS!!❤❤

One of the best ever...not only does she have a fantastic voice but her songwriting shines above most

Hi All, aside from this track `Other` becoming better still with each listen, Alison has been invited to talk about her 35 year music career with Claire Sturgess from Absolute Radio, on Sunday 18th June, the brilliant and Beautiful one`s Birthday, no less! It will be Broadcast at 9pm...This segment of their programming: Non-Stop Absolute 80`s, is always entertaining and apart from the great music that they play, is one of the best things about this Radio Station. Last year they did an interview with Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 ( ex Human League), and it is worth a retro listen. Cheers.

amazing

Amazing

the voice of my youth simply  gets better

simply beautiful

Can't stop watching this. It's a stunning piece of work ......x

this must have been a S.O.B to sing! The timing and octave changes are an achievement for which Alison's talent is renowned

Can't wait for the tour, Alison is BACK!!

No words.....

Oh dear Alison you are always so right in time! I mean in terms of music, emotions, moods, world madening condition and disease. You just arrive and save the day with your new record. Ironic? I don't know. Simply thank you for existing and creating, Alison. Your new single is, and I'm aware you'd appreciate some more complex vocabulary, so I'll try: astounding, spellbinding, heart-rending, galactic, floral, existential, esoteric, enthralling and enigmatic ...

Such a simple, stripped back, unaffected song. Sung with a tenderness and raw emotion that not only gets to the feelings... but really stirs them up. Emotion so much so, that it borders on being heartrendingly sad from the first few notes in. If this song was a piece of glass it would be on the verge of breaking into a thousand tiny pieces with the slightest touch. That`s how delicate it is—and therein lies its strength. Poetic, melancholic, poignant, sublime, transcendent—these are words which could be used to describe `Other`... yet, as music goes I don`t think it`s so easily defined. For locked deep within is that added dimension that mere words can`t quite express. You really have to listen with your feelings, and more importantly, with your heart (for if the heart is not engaged there`s just so much that regrettably can be missed). I liken it to a painter, who, with the finest and most delicate of brushstrokes transfers their private innermost feelings to canvas. It`s incredibly brave, as it`s putting something intensely personal into public hands and then hoping that those listening-in will grasp the true nature of what`s being said. It`s the sort of music that puts the emphasis on the fundamental value that `less is definitely more`, and in doing so, succeeds wonderfully in making its point.

Hauntingly beautiful . Alison Moyet sounds like she's yet again in top form . "Other" is going to be a great follow-up to the wonderful "the minutes" .

The world is a better place with this woman in it. She speaks and I'm compelled to listen.

QUEL BONHEUR DANS MA VIE

So glad to find you again.

Please Lyrics...

Your new album comes out the same day as Lordes 16/06/17. Hope you give us a few more tasters as well! 🤗
Love from New Zealand!

An artist that has never been afraid to push the boundaries love your voice and like this song

No one does melancholic truth like Alison Moyet, this is just beautiful

My God.

Thank you, Ms. Moyet.

The splendor of Moyet's presense in this achingly bare video makes me feel like I am intruding on such a gripping personal moment and yet I cannot look away.
The intensity of emotion... combined with pure vocal talent and poetic composition is awe-inspring... it takes my breath away. I cannot believe they just give Grammys away when talent like this goes ignored by mainstream.

Beyond....thank you

flawless!

Perfection!

Meravigliosa!!!!

she is brilliant loved her voice for years keep singing alf

I transcribed the lyrics as best as I could:

I don't know precisely which day
Coloured me other
Perchance it may've been a slow bleed

So I cut out whichever shape I need
I don't sue for rescue
I'm as free as I have ever been

Don't want another rock
To hang about my neck
You see bejewelled
I see bedecked
In dead stars

And nothing
Touching me
Nothing touching me

I am glad for open windows
I call for birds that do not come
You beacon dead eyed welcome

Bones bleach off the city
And when I'm done I'm done I'm done
Keep the turn over our aim

I don't want to look upon another word
This heart so lightly thrown
I say disarm I hear disown
It sounds familiar

And nothing
Touching me
Nothing touching me

I don't want another rock
To hang about my neck
You see bejewelled
I see bedecked in dead stars

I don't want to look upon another word
This deal so lightly spent
And what says here
Says came and went
It sounds familiar

Nothing's touching me
Nothing's touching me

Hi Seekingsolace, you would have imagined that her `Official` Website would have posted the lyrics and brilliant job for doing what her `Record-Label` and `Management`, should have ensured in the first place...Isn`t it the minor details, that are always overlooked, but somehow reflected on and forever remembered...Thanks Seekingsolace, cheers.

Paul Kennedy It was a pleasure to try and transcribe. I have no bad feeling toward her label or management. At least they have offered her creative freedom to collaborate with someone as great as Guy Sigsworth...

This is so arresting. Stopped in my tracks. Jaw dropped
I grew up hearing Alison's voice as a child but it's only now, aged 34, through this song, that I connect so deeply with it.

Does anyone have the lyrics?

bellissima, stupenda

Gorgeous, have bought my tickets for Auckland concert in October. My very first concert at the same venue in 1987.

This Ladies Music has been a part of life since i was a teenager from "Don't go" to this and long may it continue .......sublime

alison the voice

God dammit

Adele may have 60 trillion views but 60 trillion views doesn't bless you with a voice like this......

Graham Dunkerley Are some of you deaf? Or totally blind by bias? Both women can sing extremely well.

Just in a class of her own!!! Welcome back

I got chills. Amazing voice always x

Wowwwww so beautiful! Welcome back Alison! Your voice is poetry

I loved The Minutes but this is boring and dull.

I never comment on Youtube, but this is nothing short of genius. Thank you Alison - what an incredible piece of musical art

Beautiful und touching as i heard her from day one with yazoo in the early 80ies. Her voice gets better and better and better. Incredible woman, Soundtrack of my life.

I love her!

Stunning. Beautiful writing. Haunting melody. And the unmistakeable voice of Alf. Oh my love. Love, love, love. Too beautiful for this world and all the better for it.

I wish I liked this but I don't. Her voice is beautiful as always but this is boring. I don't even want to hear it again. Sorry! 😢

Every day it grows on me a little more, just amazing. I got my tickets for the Boston show today and I'm already counting the days. Thank you Alison for continuing to challenge yourself and your audience, We Love you !!!!

Absolutely brilliant .. welcome back Alison .

You can never fail to be moved by the lyrics of her songs, this is just so very beautiful

Spellbinding!

a stunning peace of art; u may hear this beautiful english Lady has arrived @ the centerpoint of her artistic career. I am really thankful following Alison Moyet with every step of her growing poetric music from the very beginning.

exquisite! <3

Alison to the rescue!!! In a bleak year for politics, it's music and film that prove to be the only salvation. 2017 is going to be much more manageable now thanks to Alison Moyet, David Lynch's Twin Peaks, and other such fabulosities to look forward to...

I feel the same. And even this song seems to be about the same, in a way. The state of suspended hope...the will to be here, but not really knowing why...

Beautiful artist, voice and individual. I have loved Alison for a very long time.

Wonderfull song, Alison. Looking forward to the full album in the summer :D

Beautiful💜

Oh my goodness... Gorgeous <3

such poetic power, such deep emotion, such class...

Beautiful, I need to play it in my mind and see what pops out once distracted.

a window into the soul. truly inspired. thank you for continuing to be the soundtrack to our lives.x

Utterly stunning. Poetic. Melancholic. Courageous. Sublime. Moyet is never less than brilliant but this is right up there with her very best. I'm now all the more confident that 'Other' will be THE album of the year. Incredible.

Album of the year for us fans Gordon but not for the pop world! I could not care less. I love the artistic work she's been offering us the past 35 years.

Hi John, Agreed, it is a superb album but like it or not, Alison`s career was only possible from her media exposure from her time in Yazoo, which gave her the chance and opportunity to `Make-It`, as a Solo artist, that we recognise and respect today...Everything else is irrelevant...Despite Alison`s own declarations of being PUNK and `Non-Scene` during her formative years in music, Without the `POP` element that Vince and herself brought to the collaboration that became Yazoo, many would speculate, despite Alison`s unmatchable vocal talents, she would have remained in the shadows, unappreciated on the wider stage, being only applauded, by the few...Doing gigs in the pubs and touting your talent in less worthy venues is one thing, but missing and then refusing to acknowledge the chances, that are given to you, is a situation that no deserves...One of the underlying factors that seem to be missing from those soloist`s and groups that `Makes-It`, amongst there countless thousands of `Wannabes` desperate to be acknowledged in the public arena, is what actually brought them to public attention and therefore `Success`, in the first place. `Stars` oftentime (I will ignore this American auto-correct to this word, through belligerence) can sneer dismiss all they want, about their past but without the initial sacrifices to privacy, sanity and `Compromises` in the early days, you will always remain a Could`ve been...

Paul Kennedy ....and your point is....?

I beg to differ here...I did not realize her talent until she released "Alf". "Invisible" got quite a bit of radio play here in Houston. It was not even until the release of later albums did I learn of her work with Yazoo or Yaz. For me, her media exposure was after those early years. I love the earlier music but that is not what got me on the Alison bandwagon.

and me - I'm stunned.
