The Nymphs was an alternative rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s with lead singer Inger Lorre. The band was signed to Geffen Records, and released their only album in 1991. The Nymphs were known for their wild stage shows and their rebellious attitude towards record companies. The band formed in 1985 and broke up in 1992.
Lorre and guitarist Geoff Siegel formed the band in New Jersey in the mid 1980s. The band moved to Los Angeles to pursue their musical careers, and after two members returned to New Jersey, Lorre and Siegel recruited guitarist Sam Merrick, drummer Alex Kirst and bass player Cliff D. (Cliff Jones).
The band was hoping to sign with an alternative label such as Alternative Tentacles, but their reputation led to interest from the major labels. However, the band's wild behavior led to some companies losing interest.
The Nymphs was composed by Leigh Hunt and published in Foliage, his 1818 collection of poems. The work describes the spirits of a rural landscape that are connected to Greek mythology. The images serve to discuss aspects of British life along with promoting the freedom of conscience for the British people. The collection as a whole received many attacks by contemporary critics, but later commentators viewed the poem favourably.
Background
During the end of 1816, Hunt began to put together his ideas for a poem that would become The Nymphs. While working on the poem in 1817, Hunt was staying at the Albion House in Marlow and spent much of his time in the garden or walking through the countryside. During this time, he heard stories of Francis Dashwood and his Hell-Fire Club, which its members spent their time drinking and pursuing women. The poem was included in Hunt's collection of poems called Foliage, which was published in early 1818. The Nymphs was the first poem in the book. When Hunt republished The Nymphs in his collected works, he did not republish portions of the poem possibly because of the themes not matching those found in his other works.
The Nymphs is the only full-length studio album recorded by the American rock band The Nymphs. It was produced by Bill Price, and released in 1991 on Geffen Records. There were music videos made for "Imitating Angels" and "Sad and Damned," neither of which attained commercial recognition. Iggy Pop sang on "Supersonic". The band broke up a few months after release.
John Cooper (c. 1570 – 1626), also known as Giovanni Coprario or Coperario, was an Englishcomposer, viol player and lutenist.
He changed his name in the early 17th century. It is often said he did this after a visit to Italy, though there is no evidence he had been to the country. From 1622 he served and may have taught the Prince of Wales, for whom he continued to work upon his succession as Charles I. His longtime patron was Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, for whom he taught William Lawes.
Among Cooper's works are fantasias, suites and other works for viols and violins, and two collections of songs, Funeral Teares (1606) and Songs of Mourning: Bewailing the Untimely Death of Prince Henry (1613). He also penned the treatise on composition, Rules how to Compose.
According to Ernst Meyer, Cooper was a Londoner who italianized his name as Italian music and musicians became more fashionable, and spent much of his life as a musician in the royal court.
Ninety-six fantasias in between three and six voices, most of them in two Oxford and Royal College of Music collections, were known to exist by Cooper (as of 1946). Meyer also notes that most of Cooper's five and six part fantasias are mainly transcriptions, or imitations, of his madrigals, but that his fantasias for three or four instrumental parts are, formally especially, independently interesting.

Behind these eyes, Lies a mind. Controlled by the thrill of a kill. They've put a price, On your head. You don't mind you got a dream to fulfill. It satisfies, Your every need. There's no way you will stop. A normal man in a normal world. A disguise that you'll never drop. Belated you lie! Innocent, Innocent you die. As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide New blood will flow before the old has dried Helpless you cry Innocent, innocent you die. The living nightmare has been released His evil forces have been unleashed. Another scene, The truth is so mean. You blow out another, Human candle. To dissevere a dead cold body. To dominate, To devastate, Psycho! Do you love to twist their dreams? Do you come when you hear their screams? Do you covet their lifeless limb? The world is shocked, The cage is locked, Forever. The dismal truth, So hard to face. We're running out of time! He loves the world, Where he is king, Where he does whatever he pleases! In his mind, He is God. A sacrifice in human blood. His sickened art, Is holy deeds. Examined piece by piece. Belated you lie! Innocent, Innocent you die. As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide. New blood will flow before the old has dried. Helpless you cry. Innocent, innocent you die. The living nightmare has been released. His evil forces have been unleashed. My race feels so much stronger now My hands have saw decay? When you're six feet under You'll make your final stay My anger, leaves the ground? Spiritualize, I'm lost then found? The Masque will always symbolize The states of him, and in their eye? In silence we all drown In an ocean so red The king of my killing And i need you dead It causes fear. It causes pain. It drives us all insane. Stay grey or we must pay? Dominate, To devastate, Psycho! Abuse, before you lose You must never keep it shut? Is it right? In your Lie. Innocent, Innocent you die. As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide. New blood will flow before the old has dried. Helpless you cry. Innocent, innocent you die. The living nightmare has been released. His evil forces have been unleashed. Belated you lie! Innocent, Innocent you die. As sure as sunrise, As sure as tide. New blood will flow before the old has dried. Helpless you cry. Innocent, innocent you die. The Masque will always symbolize, The states of death will end their lives? (Music by Swanö;) (Lyrics by Swanö/Axelsson) (Arranged by Swanö/Axelsson/Nerberg/LArsson)
