about
James: "This is a dream come true, having fallen in love with Mark’s work on remixes for The Cure, which go way beyond sonic tinkering to complete re-imaginings of the source material. As well as The Cure, Mark has worked with a whole host of high profile artists in a range of different capacities, including David Bowie, David Byrne, Tricky, Depeche Mode, Robert Plant, Erasure, The Human League, The Sugarcubes, Madonna, Neneh Cherry, Lady Gaga, Marcella Detroit, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Mission, Ian McCulloch and Lloyd Cole… to name but a few!
We're thrilled with this remix of 'What If I Were The Boy?' and although a Radio Edit will also be released, this is the version I wanted you to hear first."

LYRICS (Scott)
Susie, I can’t see past this day
You take too much and give away
Your heart too easily
Can’t you see?
It’s not me you want
At all
Susie, I can’t see past this hour
Your face is sweet, your lips are sour
You bruise too easily
Can’t you see
It’s not me you want at all?
Showing you my hand
You didn’t understand
Now you’re lost in every sense
And I blame myself
Suddenly a man
There’s a question I can’t stand
To hear repeating
Can no-one save you?
Could I have saved you
If I were the boy?
What if I were the boy?
What if I were the boy
You never knew?
Showing you my hand
You didn’t understand
Now you’re lost in every sense
And I blame myself again
Suddenly a man
There’s a question I can’t stand
To hear repeating
Can no-one save you?
Could I have saved you?
If I were the boy
What if I were the boy?
What if I were the boy?
You never knew.

The Vaulted Skies + Mark Saunders
Once described as the lovechild of Robert Smith and Boy George, James AJ Scott put The Vaulted Skies together in 2013 to
bring peace to the galaxy through a fusion of danceable electro-grunge and epic melancholia.
Conjured forth from distant realms via dark incantations, the line-up also includes eccentric guitarist Doktor Ben, Andy McFarlane (Bass) and David Ferenc Korosztos (drums)....more
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
A short-and-sweet burst of post-punk fury from Australia's Shock Friendly, centered around themes of isolation and failure. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 14, 2021
New on Grimalkin, this EP from Phantómódel is an irresistible batch of gothy post-punk that is delightfully harrowing. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 16, 2019
