Condemnation
Condemnation
The hands begin to crumble. The feeling holds.
Praying hands crumble into dust while a crimson thread holds.
Start listening closer ↓Inside the release
The single's live tracks were recorded at the Forum in Milan in 1993. Its UK promotional seven-inch has a large centre hole, an unusual detail that the official archive notes has led some collectors to call it a jukebox issue.
Listen closer
Listen to the grain and pressure of the vocal. Let the pauses register as part of the performance; the emotional force does not depend on the track filling every available space.
Another way in
Hear the studio recording beside a live performance. Focus on breath, emphasis and the surrounding voices, and notice where the performance makes you wait.
