00:02:15 - The Sisters of Mercy is an English rock band, formed in 1980 in the small town of Leeds, in West Yorkshire, in the north of England.

00:02:28 - After achieving early underground fame in the pubs of this city, the band had its commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and maintained it until the early 1990s.

00:02:38 - Their style was a combination of rock with psychedelia, with the presence of keyboards and powerful guitars, with a great and particular voice of Andrew Eldridge, he interprets the songs as if he were speaking, with a very personal tone of voice.

00:02:53 - The band has cited as influences Leonard Cohen who was a Canadian poet and novelist and as a musician, he developed a career with a continuous exploration of themes such as religion, politics, isolation, also Lemmy Motorhead's band, The Stooges, The Velvet

00:03:08 - Underground and Suicide, among others.

00:03:11 - Which was the fascination that Cohen himself wrote and performed a song titled, Sisters of Mercy, on his debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, from which the band took his name.

00:03:22 - His influences also include numerous proto-punk and punk groups, such as the exploited, the Ramones, etc.

00:03:31 - Sisters of Mercy shared these influences with other groups of what was called the first wave of Gothic music.

00:03:37 - This vision-things album is from the year 1990 of the best that the band has recorded, being the band's third studio album, recorded at the Poop Recording Studios in Jarl of Denmark and released in November 1990 by Merciful released WEA, with production by Andrew Eldridge,

00:03:54 - Jim Steinman and Chris Sangerides, who worked with Alice Cooper and Thin Lizzie among others.

00:04:00 - The album was conceived by singer-songwriter Andrew Eldridge as an attack on the policies of the George H.W. Bush the title comes from an oft cited quote by Bush.

00:04:11 - There are different versions of what the lyrics of When You Don't See Me represent.

00:04:16 - Some say that the singer is pranking his fans, an inside joke at this point, as Vaughn already told people once with first and last and always.

00:04:24 - Hence the almost amused arrogance present on the track.

00:04:28 - Others think it's more about someone expecting too much from a person, and then expecting them to behave the same way all the time, which they do when they're with them, you bought the mask, I put it on, you never thought to ask me if I wear it when you're gone, she expected him to be something he's not, and she tried, but only when he was with her.

00:04:47 - Others say it talks about a ghost of a dead friend, relative, lover, whatever talking to someone who is hallucinating them.

00:04:56 - The song is excellent, very strong, with memorable high-pitched women's choirs, contrast with the singer's voice.

00:05:03 - Let's remember that to elaborate this rock sound, sisters of Mercy had an unknown German guitarist, Andreas Brun, whom Eldridge apparently discovered playing in a Hamburg pub and brought him into the band in April 1989, bassist Tony James former guitarist for Seagay Seagay

00:05:19 - Sputnik and bassist songwriter for Generation X and last minute recruit Tim Bricheno, formerly of All About Eve, on guitars.

00:05:30 - On a visit to Argentina in 2012, when asked how he would like his band to be remembered, the singer said, I would like some of the songs to be remembered.

00:05:40 - Even when the songs are not good, we still try very hard.

00:05:44 - Trying to make them work.

00:05:46 - That's why I'd like us to be remembered for having tried.

00:05:49 - Personally, I'm not interested.

00:05:51 - I want to live in peace and privacy.

00:05:53 - I don't like being the center of attention.

00:05:56 - That's why if no one remembers me as a person it's not a problem for me.
