Rock Me Gently

About Rock Me Gently

"Rock Me Gently" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure. Written by group members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, the track appeared on their album Erasure. It was released as a single by Mute Records in selected European countries, including Germany and Czech Republic. "Rock Me Gently" was not released in the UK or the U. S. In its album form, the song is an extended, ten-plus minutes mid-tempo synth ballad with ambient elements and a free-form vocal performance by Diamanda Galás during the song's breakdown. Bell's lead vocals were accentuated by the London Community Gospel Choir, who sang background (as they did on previous Erasure single "Stay with Me"). "Rock Me Gently" was drastically[altered for its single release — adding a radio-friendly drum track to the mix and editing out most of the Galás interlude. An extended version of this mix was included on the CD single, retaining the Galás section while keeping the new instrumentation. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Past five in the morning
Feeling worse for the weather it seems
But what a feeling
What an endless night this has been

And we can't stay here
'Cause we won't be forever young
We'll have to go down
Before innocence is lost

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms

I've been getting used to all the crying
And the games that you play
And if I carry on I'm gonna end up with a
Hole in my head

And there's more to life
Than thrills & spills & dollar bills
We'll have to get through
Some way some how

And I dream you're with me
You hold me sweetly
And rock me gently to sleep
In your arms
