Marc Almond

Open Collage in a new Window

Famous quotes by Marc Almond:

"I am deeply saddened and shocked by the death of Gene Pitney."

"People are always reinventing music. We were an oddity when we formed, just a singer and a keyboard player."

"There was always a dark element to our songs, some social commentary."

"People are always reinventing music,"

"It's our most pop album since our first."

"A couple of years ago, I called Dave up to write some songs. It just snowballed from there and became a Soft Cell record. There's still a strong chemistry between us."

He was brought up at his grandparents' house in Birkdale with his younger sister, Julia, and as a child suffered from bronchitis and asthma. When he was four, they left their grandparents' house and moved to Starbeck on the edge of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Two years later they returned to Southport, and then moved to Horsforth. More...www.marcalmond.co.uk Lyrics Something's gotten hold of my heart Keeping my soul and my senses apart Something's gotten into my life Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife Turning me up, turning me down Making me smile, making me frown In a world that was war I once lived in a time That was peace With no trouble at all But then you came my way And a feeling I know Shook my heart And made me want you to stay All of my nights And all of my days I wanna tell you now Something's gotten hold of my hand Dragging my soul to a beautiful land Something's invaded my night Painting my sleep with a colour so bright Changing the grey, changing the blue Scarlet for me, scarlet for you I've got to know if this is the real thing I've got to know ...

Peter Mark Sinclair "Marc" Almond (/ˈɑːmənd/; born 9 July 1957, Southport) is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Almond first began performing and recording in the synthpop/New Wave duo Soft Cell. He has sold over 30 million records worldwide.

Almond was born in 1957 in Southport (then Lancashire, now part of Merseyside), the son of Sandra Mary Dieson and Peter John Sinclair Almond, a Second Lieutenant in the King's Liverpool Regiment. He was brought up at his grandparents' house in Birkdale with his younger sister, Julia, and as a child suffered from bronchitis and asthma. When he was four, they left their grandparents' house and moved to Starbeck on the edge of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Two years later they returned to Southport, and then moved to Horsforth (near Leeds).^{[citation needed]}

At age 11 he attended Aireborough Grammar School near Leeds. Almond found solace in music, listening to British radio pioneer John Peel. The first album he purchased was the soundtrack of the stage musical Hair and the first single "Green Manalishi" by Fleetwood Mac. He later became a great fan of Marc Bolan and David Bowie and got a part time job as a stable boy to fund his musical tastes.^{[citation needed]}

Almond, Marc Filmography

Lyrics:

Famous quotes by Marc Almond:

"I am deeply saddened and shocked by the death of Gene Pitney."

"People are always reinventing music. We were an oddity when we formed, just a singer and a keyboard player."

"There was always a dark element to our songs, some social commentary."

"People are always reinventing music,"

"It's our most pop album since our first."

"A couple of years ago, I called Dave up to write some songs. It just snowballed from there and became a Soft Cell record. There's still a strong chemistry between us."
