My Dying Bride - BLACK GOD
Taken from the album 'Turn Loose The Swans'
Transcribed by Roland de Graauw
Send questions, comment or corrections to graauw@pi.net
Normal Tuning
I transposed the piano and violin for guitar (or bass), this
results in a lot of slides on the violin parts (listen to the song
to get 'em right).
There are also a LOT of repeats, which I didn't count, so I'll
just give the variations, which are played in the song.
Piano (starts after the low synth-FX)

Violin (Use a lot of sustain to make the
slides sound best)
Note: Play along with the song to get the rythm right;
the violin-rythm is not the same as the piano-rythm
on certain parts, which can be confusing.

| To me it's the most beautiful song by MDB. Every single word I can identify with. To me the lyrics portray someone in search for his perfect counterpart and the last sentence is a compliment hardly to top. While carrying a double-meaning it means to me that the person he's longing for is heaven. @ Vampy: In regard to your first post, try to see MDB live if you can. Aaron's performs the songs as if he would truely live it but since I presume most of his lyrics to be autobiographical that's perhaps hardly a surprise. Still it's a beautifully shocking performance. | |

| The songs truly beutiful like all the songs of my dying bride. This isnt a freaking pop crap that has a beat and singing all the time. The band is all about music. Lyrics are beutiful but the music makes it truely a master piece. Vampirella666...this is doom metal. its suppose to be slow and beutiful. | |

| This is actually taken from a poem called 'Ah! The Shepherd's Mournful Fate', though it sounds just like something MDB would do anyway. The rest of the poem is just as beautiful: Ah! the shepherd’s mournful fate! When doom’d to love, and doom’d to languish, To bear the scornful fair one’s hate, Nor dare disclose his anguish. Yet eager looks, and dying sighs, My secret soul discover, While rapture trembling thro’ my eyes Reveals how much I love her. The tender glance; the redd’ning cheek, O’erspread with rising blushes, A thousand various ways they speak A thousand various wishes. For, oh! that form so heavenly fair, Those languid eyes so sweetly smiling, That artless blush, and modest air, So artfully beguiling! Thy every look and every grace So charms whene’er I view thee, Till death o’ertake me in the chase Still will my hopes pursue thee; Then when my tedious hours are past Be this last blessing given, Low at thy feet to breathe my last, And die in sight of heaven. | |

| The singing in the background adds so much....amazing. I'm really loving this band, this is the second song I've heard by them. I get the impression that this person loves them soo much and is completely infatuated with this other Godly image. That he would give everything including his life just to see her again... | |
