Secession - need help identifying song

Postby woodsisi » Sun Nov 17, 2013 7:44 am

I found an old cassette tape and on it is a Secession song I cannot identify. The words go like this:
"Well I remember long ago, about a story I once told
With a little sacrifice, you can't melt a heart of ice
One thing I should know, you can't breaka heart of stone ..."
Anybody know the song ? Tks

I'm 99% satisifed the track in questions is titled 'Reflections' from the Sneakyville 12" release. The band must have re-recorded a new version.

Reflections on the Betrayal 7" clocks in at 4:31 exact speed/tempo. Can't check the version on the Sneakyville 12" as I don't have it but all the versions that I could find at Youtube are the same as the one in the 7" even though one displays the image of the Sneakyville release. And I cannot hear the lyrics that you mention on it... This is the original version of Reflections, of the Betrayal single: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFHrAcEPdBI

The song is indeed called Reflections by Secession. I had always thought it was the much more accessible B-Side to 'Betrayal', but after listening to the link eighties posted, the version you speak of is likely the one off of the Sneakyville release. Much more polished and less New Order sounding.

The lyrics are excellent. It would appear to be a completely different song of the same name though as I can't find any similarity with the original Reflections they did.

Little gem for secession fans. Much like The Killing Season which I adore.
