Inspiration came from watching one of the many talent shows on TV...
lyrics
This is not a test
(We must confess)
You are being assessed
(It's not in your head)
You've come so far
(Don't you fuck it up now)
Are you worth our time
(Can you prove it right now)
Are you gonna be the best
(Or just like the rest)
Are you gonna blow our minds, this is not a test

Music and lyrics by Andrea L./Love the Ghost
A journey in the deepest layers of the soul. More than a musical experience, its spiritual depths appear once one agrees to abandon its reason and to unleash its emotions. David Mauqui
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2020
Love The Wake since I bought the actual red-vinyl 7" of Harlot. back in the 90s.
While all other goth-rock bands drifted towards metal or simple poser-rock, The Wake revived the "old sound".
They produce and present a rather tight copy of, you know who, but they have their own touch to it and their music is just perfect goth-rock!. ebmbear
