Makes me feel as if I were a goth woman who's about to marry her husband, who's a non-goth.

We are in a forested park in Pennsylvania. I am so happy.

I want to cry as I fly into his arms at the altar.

Everyone's happy for us.

The sun gives us his blessing.

I love the fact that someone might hear this on a nice, sweet, cute little perfume advert and end up horribly traumatised by accidently stumbling across Frankie Teardrop by mistake.

@williamvitkovitch8591

I just saw that advert, and thought - I know this song!! What an album!!

@brkmrtn6495

This band was so far ahead of its time...

@vivaldireal1741

Literally nothing sounded like this in 1976. Except maybe Throbbing Gristle, Can, and Neu! Amazing.

@caseycochrane8272

I Love this band but I dont know when they were popular.

@foxbasealpha
