The Sound - Party of the Mind (HQ)

Track #2 of The Sound's 1982 album All Fall Down

Reissued in 2002 by Renascent Records.


Lyrics:

I invite you to the party of my mind
An invitation to the party of my mind

Some talk, some laugh
Some go out for air
In the party of my mind
They'll all be there
All my friends will be there
In the party of my mind

There's a room for us
In the party of my mind
A place to be, a place to be found
A room without light
A room whith lights that blind
These ideas I invite
To the party of my mind

Won't you come in and invite love
Won't you come in, invite your anarchist friend
Won't you come in, anything can happen
Won't you come in, stay till the end

There's a disturbance over by the stairs
And her face looks 'round for me
Her eyes say something's going wrong
Some things aren't how they should be

I invite you to the party of my mind
An invitation to the party of my mind

Some talk, some cry
Some go out for air
In the party of my mind
We'll all be there
Everyone will be there
Everyone will be there

[обеденныйярославль]

We are all here from different countries, we speak different languages, but we are still invited to this party!

[gabrielceballos]

i think its obvious that the sound influenced so many bands including the strokes

[BasBenders]

2024.
40 years later.
Still,
thanks Adrian.

[Zenssei]

I love the unsettling noisy instrumentation towards the end. Really gives it alot more meaning and irony in it and i love it

[Volvoman]

Never realised this was from 1982, sounds a lot more contemporary!

[normajimenezg]

My favorite song, thanks to my best friend who is in heaven🙏

[pyenapple]

The first song I loved by The Sound was "I Can't Escape Myself". Then "Coldbeat". But this song eventually eclipsed them. I think it's their best.

Great song! heard it first as a 15 year old, then 15 years later... I was in London in a train in the late nineties, a three hour delay.... someone had killed themselves on the track... me idiot that i am just being annoyed with my delay... not realising that one of my child hood heroes had just died

[capografik]

Fantastic song!
"All fall down" is my favorite The Sound album.
I can't understand that some people (reviewers) describe it as hard to acces. It went right into my heart first time I heard it!

[irenefigueroa]

I recently discovered this band fuck yeah this Group is amazing i'm surprised I've never heard of them before rest in peace to the front man I can see why he was upset for not getting more of the spotlight they definitely deserved. I listen to their music and I hear a lot of the early 2000's post punk vibe this wonderful group was definitely ahead of curve.

[MoonChildEsthetics]

still one of my favorite songs! takes me back....

[inkpenguy]

I agree. This is a great album. More experimental in sound than their previous two efforts, which were also great.

[massivegat]

One of the most tactful songs about mental illness ever written.

[thegerrie]

Mr. Borland Fan, the Sound was a fantastic band. Their albums were great. I can understand very good why yiou call yourself a Borland fan. Thank you.

Omg .. 49 years ago i did the opening act in Ghent Vooruit ...talked to the man and then...

I invite you to the party of my mind
An invitation to the party of my mind
Some talk, some laugh
Some go out for air
In the party of my mind
They'll all be there
All my friends will be there
In the party of my mind
There's a room for us
In the party of my mind
A place to be, a place to be found
A room without light
A room whith lights that blind
These ideas I invite
To the party of my mind
Won't you come in and invite love
Won't you come in, invite your anarchist friend
Won't you come in, anything can happen
Won't you come in, stay till the end
There's a disturbance over by the stairs
And her face looks round for me
Her eyes say something's going wrong
Some things aren't how they should be
I invite you to the party of my mind
An invitation to the party of my mind
Some talk, some cry
Some go out for air
In the party of my mind
We'll all be there
Everyone will be there
Everyone will be there
