Biography

Formed in 1981 in Detroit, Figures on a Beach originally consisted of Anthony Kaczynski (vocals, keyboards, occasional bass), John Richard Rolski (guitar) [a=Christopher Ewen] (keyboards), and Michael Smith (drums). Releases from this lineup include the [i]Swimming[/i] EP on Metro-America and the [a=Don Was]-produced single "Breathless" in 1984. In 1985 the band moved to Boston as a quintet, with new member Perry Tell having joined in 1984 on bass, guitar and keyboards. The quintet eventually signed with [l=Sire Records Company] and hooked up with producer [a=Ivan Ivan], who steered them toward an upbeat synth-pop sound. Notable releases from this collaboration include the anthemic "No Stars" on the album [i]Standing On Ceremony[/i] in 1987, and the soaring, slickly produced single "Accidentally 4th Street (Gloria)" from the group's eponymous 1989 album. Figures on a Beach broke up in 1993. Kaczynski and Smith went on to become founding members of Fireking, and Ewen eventually joined [a=Future Bible Heroes]. Ewen and Kaczynski now tour extensively with The Magnetic Fields.

LYRICS

And so begins the dreaming
In a restless world, far from this restless life
Don't wanna wake up and face the day without you here
Don't wanna wake up and feel too much alive
There will be no stars to hold us in the sky
There will be no bonds to break, no bitter tears to cry
There will be no stars to hold us in the sky
There will only be the distant lights that softly flicker
Fade away, away

And i just keep on dreaming
There's a place somewhere, where you and I can share our life
And when i find it, Angel, gonna take you there
When I find it, I will take you for my wife

There will be no stars to hold us in the sky
There will be no bonds to break, no bitter tears to cry
There will be no stars to hold us in the sky
There will only be the distant lights that softly flicker
Fade away, away


The dream is almost over
If I could only fit the pieces back together
So when I wake up I'll find you on my shoulder
So when I wake up there'll be stardust in my eyes

There will be no stars to hold us in the sky
There will be no bonds to break, no bitter tears to cry
There will be no stars to hold us in the sky
There will only be the distant lights that softly flicker
Fade away, away
