One last track then I'm done honest! Friction, a spiky new wave classic, Amazingly fluid guitar work from Verlaine. The line "My eyes are like telescopes", always gets me. Terrific band these guys.
As a 20 year insomniac, I'm up smoking a cig while listening to strange music. John Martyn is a man many people really rate, and I am one of them. He goes deep into effects on his guitar, weaving complex riffs with rhythm parts. This song goes full on voodoo with his use of an echo device, as dark as the devil gets lyrically, but strangely captivating. Another legend who departed to 5d too soon. Listen if you dare to dance with a devil....
Dimash does it again. After watching the video last night I am still emotional about it. To fully appreciate the song, I had to turn the screen off on the second go.
I've heard this tune before but I did not know the performer. How funny, because at one point she was Mick Jagger's wife. Ha ha ha ..
Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By
Here's a bit about her life. If you watch pay attention to what she says around 6:55 but does not explain, "it was planned". By who and why ? I have my suspicions.
Quite interesting! I watched both videos today - it was snowing and a cosy afternoon where these films did fit!
And yes, it is inspiring for being a hero, there are a lot of scenes where you can be impressed, i.e. the scene where she is attacked with someone with a pistol and opens her hands and goes towards him - in this accepting her fate . . .

saw him quite a few times back in the day- Legend -- tragically alot of his life was overshadowed by chronic alcoholism which sadly took him in the end - a sad loss . Such a brilliant artist -For someone who had such extremes of behaviour his romantic and soulful side was what we all fell in love with.
