Music: “Alternative You” by Moonlight Awakening
LYRICS:
Tonight I dreamed of a reality that could be true
tonight I dreamed of all my days and nights with only you
you said I should look to the stars and marvel at all that lays above
but I think your words were corrupted by love,
this is a peaceful night I swear.
today I dreamed your words were true…
today I searched for all the things i once admired in you
you say I should look to the heart, to the hopes, to the dreams
and the feelings inside…
but I think you’re only telling lies;
and these are peaceful days I swear.
So my world is coming apart and I think I’m drowning in silence
and there is no prayer to find the answer
no, there is no chance…it happened too fast.
Tell me is this only how you seem, is this the only way you’ll be;
is this the way it’s gonna stay? I wish there was another way…
Oh how I miss the days of winter,
how I miss the winter’s song
and though I wish you were beside me
you’re in my heart where you belong….

Can any one name any goth/darkwave music with Satanic undertones?
Author: admin // Category: Darkwave Music
Look people neither black sabbath nor death metal is goth/darkwave music.
Does goth music inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos count? Because I have some of that.
why do some people think screamo or metal music, or darkwave sounds scary?
Author: admin // Category: Darkwave Musici just want to know because some of my friends are always saying the music i listen to almost makes them cry because it is scary.
*sigh* if you don’t stick to the question then don’t say anything at all. we all are entitled to our own opinons. we just sometimes don’t like to hear negative ones.
i like screamo and metal
but some people believe that it’s devil’s music because it sounds so monstrous. just don’t listen to it around them, or at least turn it down, you don’t want to make your friends cry.
I like Shoegazing music from what I have heard from it. I have also heard that if I like Shoegazing music that I will like Darkwave music. Anyway, any recommendations?

Could you guys recommend me some good darkwave bands?
Evanwhisper! You stole one of my favorite bands!
Darkwave can be …. quite broad. It is often atmospheric. I tend to like neoclassical DW bands the most, although I like a few industrial DW bands. I’ll try to give you a wide spectrum …
"Down To The Halls of The Blind" – Dargaard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUzU1zbD3SU
"Yergnain" – Deleyaman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErZtia7sxZk
"Mirros" – All:My:Faults: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNMbTaiIYbU
"Selig" – Helium Vola: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvWfJO5TCVg
"Phoenix" – L’Ame Immortelle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USNSWuROnxM
"Partus" – Stoa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XO1b4zGVDk
"The Last Express" – Vernian Process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRcqv8RScak
"A Witch Reveals Herself" – Weltenbrand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6plQFefBsY
You might also be interested in ethereal wave, a different subgenre of DW. Personally, I don’t especially like what I have heard, but it’s not bad – it’s just a bit too meh for me (although I do like a few bands, I’m just speaking overall). Try Black Tape for a Blue Girl.
Hang on, let me find you some of my favorite links …
EDIT:
Here we are.

Big list of bands to check out:

This site sucks when genre-ing (how in the hell is Rasputina darkwave??), but it has good bands nonetheless, no matter what they are labelled as on here:

Another list:

More listage:

The thing is, these genres often overlap each other and I find that I am just as likely to enjoy, say, a dark ambient subgenre as I am darkwave. So just stay open to music, is all I’m saying. ;D
