With endless comparisons to King Crimson, Shylock remains one of the premier French symphonic bands. Other comparisons are made to Arachnoïd and Pulsar. Darkness is the key here. Their influence can be felt in such bands as Xaal, Minimum Vital, Tiemko, and Änglagård.

1977's "Gialorgues" was recorded with the primary membership consisting of drummer André Fisichella, guitarist Frédéric l'Épée (who went on to play with Philharmonie), and keyboardist Didier Lustig. Bass player Serge Summa was added for the second album, 1978's "Ile di Fievres" (Fever Island).

Their outstanding moments are shown in their more lengthy compositions. However, virtuosic musicianship was never absent.

Lose You
Shylock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a look - In my eyes
Touch my tears - Could as ice
All our dreams - Froze and died
Will you...

Hold me tight or say goodbye?
Somehow I can′t find my way - Don't
Leave me alone

On my own

I′m gonna - I'm gonna lose you
And I don't know - If I can make it
Through
I′m gonna - I′m gonna lose you
And I don't know - If I can make it
Through

Pouring tain - In my heart
Will we soon - Be apart?
I can′t live - When you're gone
Will you...

Tell me now where I was wrong?

′Cause I have veen the only onw
Who never denied
All your cries

I'm gonna - I′m gonna lose you
And I don't know - If I can make it
Through
I'm gonna - I′m gonna lose you
And I don′t know - If I can make it
Through

Solo

Hold me tight or say goodbye
Somehow I can't find my way - Don′t
Leave me alone
On my own

I'm gonna - I′m gonna lose you
And I don't know - If I can make it
Through
I′m gonna - I'm gonna lose you
And I don't know - If I can make it
Through

I′m gonna - I′m gonna lose you

I'm gonna - Yes, I′m gonna lose
You
