I like a lot of different types of music, and I have been asked how I got goth. The answer is complex, but the short answer is that my love of the fashion came first, and then I got into the music later.

Being in my 60s, I grew up with the rock, pop, and folk of the day, and that continued into the 70s. I liked some of the darker, or more poignant music, though I think my general attitude is more optimistic. For instance, I really liked Simon and Garfunkel's I Am a Rock, the Stones' Paint It Black, the Pentangle's Hunting Song, and so on.

I never really got into punk. To quote someone in a movie, I liked the sound, but not the fury. I do like some punk songs, but it's not really my music.

But in the late 70s/early 80s two things happened. I liked some of the post-punk music that was coming out, and I really liked the fashion both they and the New Romantics had. I really liked the look of Alannah Currie in the Thompson Twins, did instance, and I liked Joan Jett's look and music (more rock, I know), and Siouxsie's look. I gave myself a deathhawk cut in the mid 80s, but didn't really have the self confidence in my mid 20s to carry it off. I grew it out.

But in the early 80s I took a serious detour into the British electric folk of the late 60s and 70s, and Steeleye Span remains my all-time favorite band. So though I heard the early goth music, it wasn't what I was mainly listening to in the 80s.

In the 90s I took another detour into "women's music", which is really lesbian music. I listened to Cris Williamson, Meg Christian, Ferron, Holly Near, and the like.

In the 2000s, I started going back to the music I had heard and liked, but hadn't focussed on from the 80s, the post-punk, goth, and indy rock of the day, and more recently some of the current goth music.

Ten years ago, I felt like I had the self confidence to start expressing myself the way I wanted, so I started coloring my natural brown hair blue, green, and purple. I've loved it, and more recently got a new deathhawk, which I love. I do have the self confidence to wear it this time.

And musically, I've really been getting back into that 80s music such as Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Cure, Sisters of Mercy, and other goth rock bands, even if the bands don't really like the goth label, and I understand that. Only some of their material fits the goth label. I love Concrete Blonde, which certainly isn't a goth band, but was played at goth clubs back in the day, mainly because of Bloodletting, I think.

And I love Vision Video, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Deus Ex Lumina, Actors (and Leathers), and other recent bands that fit into the goth category. I tend to like goth rock and pop more than darkwave and coldwave, but I do like them as well.

(And yet, I still like 2000s pop bands like Camera Obscura, and Belle and Sebastian, and other music such as the Pogues. My musical tastes are broad.)

I don't know if this ramble answered the question, but it's a bit of my history.

Lyrics:

I have a picture

Pinned to my wall

An image of you and of me and we're laughing, we're loving it all

But look at our life now

All tattered and torn

We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn

Oh, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

Warm my heart

Stay with me

Let loving start

Let loving start

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind

Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find

So perhaps I should leave here

Yeah, yeah, and go far away

But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

Warm my heart

Stay with me

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

Warm my heart

Stay with me

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

You ask if I love you

Well, what could I say?

You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play

So I'll sing you a new song

Please don't cry anymore

I'll even ask your forgiveness

Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Songwriter:

Hold me now, whoa

(Hold me in your loving arms)

Warm my heart

(Warm my cold and tired heart)

Stay with me

(Stay with me)

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

(Hold me in your loving arms)

Warm my heart

(Warm my cold and tired heart)

Stay with me

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

(Hold me in your loving arms)

Warm my heart

(Warm my cold and tired heart)

Stay with me

(Stay with me)

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

(Hold me in your loving arms)

Warm my heart

(Warm my cold and tired heart)

Stay with me

(Stay with me)

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

Hold me now, whoa

(Hold me in your loving arms)

Warm my heart

(Warm my cold and tired heart)

Stay with me

(Stay with me)

Let loving start

Let loving start, whoa

Written by the band members, the song was produced by Alex Sadkin and the group's lead vocalist Tom Bailey. The song is a mid-tempo new wave song that uses a varied instrumentation, including keyboards, a xylophone, a piano and Latin percussion.

"Emotionally, it was written as the result of some argument that was resolved between Alannah and myself", explained Tom Bailey in an August 2014 interview with Songfacts. "We actually decided, well, this is an interesting emotional subject. What it feels like to get back together again after separation and the kind of ideas that come up and the way that emotion and physicality somehow are brought together." According to Bailey, the song also "had a very strong idea" behind it and was written very quickly.
