Album Description
Available in:
"Under The Gun" is a song by the English rock band The Sisters of Mercy released as the single from their album A Slight Case of Overbombing: Greatest Hits Vol. 1. It is a duet featuring Terri Nunn on vocals, and was accompanied by a music video with Andrew Eldritch and Nunn.
It is the only new song on an album of prior hits, a greatest hits compilation, released in 1993 by Merciful Release on East West Records, a UK Warner Music Group label. This is the band's most recent single as of 2021.
The single reached no. 19 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was written by Andrew Eldritch, Billie Hughes, and Roxanne Seeman, It was co-produced by Eldritch and Hughes. Additional production was credited to Ian Stanley.
Two alternate mixes of "Under The Gun" were included in the 2017 bonus tracks of The Sisters of Mercy's compilation album Some Girls Wander by Mistake, released on their own label Merciful Release and distributed by East West Records/Warner Music UK.
Chris Roberts in Melody Maker described the song as "a big Berlin ballad (of Heart, Roxette, etc)" with "several thousand epic heartbreaking refrains" of the chorus hook "Are you living for love?" noting Eldritch's "restrained guitar foreplay" and "fiendish subliminal rant", while comparing it to "the melodrama of Bowie's 'Sweet Thing/Candidate".
The song is mostly a cover of "Two Worlds Apart", a song written by Hughes and Seeman and released on Hughes' album Welcome to the Edge. It appeared earlier as a love theme for the characters of Michael & Julia in the television series Santa Barbara.
