Inspired by The Humanoid, one of their favourite movies, US band Ganymede wrote and recorded the stunning and evocative synth-pop dance track 'Love Games' , which featured on their second album release 'Euromantique'. I was delighted to receive the following email from main man David Friede: " Here is "Love Games" by Ganymede, hope you enjoy it. The lyrics are indirectly about the story and theme of The Humanoid; we didn't want to give any real direct references as to not alienate anyone who doesn't know the film (which is just about everyone!) I suppose the style is generally similar to the Humanoid theme music, as they're both done in a synth-disco style. " The tune is reminiscent of early 80s electronica like Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark , while the lyrics are especially evocative and poignant, and have made me sympathise all the more with the Golob the Humanoid character.. He's just an ordinary man Living his ordinary life No one ever coming, and no one ever going He flies alone right through the night . And then one day he came upon a strange ship floating in the sky "Copy copy , Do u read me ?" But they never bothered to reply . And then she came into his life He fell from the skies into her arms Under her spell He used to be a man But nothing ever stays the same for victims of her Love games .. And now his mind is not his own And she controls his every thought His every wish and his every desire And everything that hes been taught . If only he could break away Before he falls into the void But when he sees her His heart takes him over And he becomes a HUMANOID.. And then she came into his life He fell from the skies into her arms Under her spell He used to be a man But nothing ever stays the same for victims of her love games Love games... love games... Love games... love games... And then she came into his life He fell from the skies into her arms Under her spell He used to be a man But nothing ever stays the same for victims of her And then she came into his life He fell from the skies into her arms Under her spell He used to be a man But nothing ever stays the same for victims of her love games Love games... love games... Love games... |
