I Walk This Earth Alone (Leæther Strip Self-Distance Mix)
Of working with Clause Larsen, Johnathan Mooney says “(Leaether Strip’s) ‘Self-Inflicted’ was one of the first albums I heard from him back in 1997 and I’ve been a fan of his entire catalog ever since. So this really was a great opportunity for us.”
Clause Larsen concurs, “When I first listened to ‘I Walk This Earth Alone’ I was very happy to remix it. It’s a great song. I really love the songwriting and the vocals are pure sex. I never remix to “make a song better”. I always try to honor the song while taking it to a different place. Give it a new life to open it to other type of listeners. It was a real pleasure to be a part of this and I hope to do more with this great band”.
Once again, Johnathan|Christian worked with award winning horror illustrator Alex McVey to bring the vision to life.
Of working with Johnathan|Christian, Alex says “I feel a kinship to their themes; this was about coldness, a barren landscape, the coldness of the ground he walks on. Shadowing his pain and the crevices of his face”.

lyrics
No one can hear you
No matter how hard you tread
Nobody sees you
You're like a living undead
But I can still , recall the taste
Of your mouth, flesh and bone
More a taste of bittersweet
As I walk this earth alone
Please reach out and touch me
No harm, it's just an embrace
Can anyone feel me?
Just take a look at my face!
So show me a wound
That a burning love can't sooth
Please serve me a drink or two
With the taste of my ancient youth
Is there anyone, who'll show me how to breathe?
Will there be anything, left for me to feel?
My body is frozen
It's stuck in the cold
Thus slowing the process
Of corroding my soul
And I would do
Most anything
To take a breath again
Just give me one more chance
To show it was not in vain
Is there anyone, who'll show me how to breathe?
Will there be anything, left for me to feel?
I'll promise anything, if I could just believe
So help me Jesus, make me die or make me live
