Killing Joke - Love Like Blood (KD Remix 2024)

This is a fan-made remix of the epic song by Killing Joke called "Love Like Blood" that was released in 1985 and reached number 16 in the UK charts. A listener called Irish Eyes suggested I do this track. To be fair, I had thought about doing it for a while, but did not have the courage to tackle it. Thanks to Irish Eyes, I took the plunge. I hope people enjoy this version - its not that different to the original. There is some serious jeopardy in tackling songs like "Love Like Blood" because they have been done so well in the first place and they are hard wired into people's brains. That said, I never do a remix to do it better and instead I do them to learn about the original song in terms of how its been arranged and how the song comes together. I am a big Killing Joke fan. I have a lot of their CDs and vinyl. They are one of those bands that have delivered throughout their career and have influenced many bands in the process (namely Metallica - who have covered "The Wait"). Thanks for the music Killing Joke. RIP Geordie Walker and Raven. The vocals are those of Jaz Coleman - I extracted them from the original version - the instrumental backing track has been created from scratch. I have not used any samples.

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field The life is short I'm running faster all the time Strength and beauty destined to decay So cut the rose in full bloom 'Til the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood A love like blood 'Til the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood A love like blood Everyday through all frustration and despair Love and hate fight with burning hearts 'Til legends live and man is god again And self-preservation rules the day no more We must dream of promised lands and fields That's never fade in season As we move towards no end We learn to die Red tears are shed on gray 'Til the fearless come and the act is done 'Til the fearless come and the act is done Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jeremy Coleman / Kevin Walker / Matthew Ferguson / Paul Vincent Raven Love Like Blood lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
