eighties fix

this song really takes me back. so very melancholy. minor chords. johnette's voice. the lyrics about somebody who really isn't grounded at all. dealing with substance abuse. and the pain that goes along with it. and the twisted relationships that ensue.

"when you said i scared you, well i guess you scared me too"

and then there is one more classic from concrete blonde- same moodiness, and minor chords- kinda surrounded in a cloud of restlessness and a feeling of being lost. oh wait, maybe that's my impression of the 80's. at least the mid-to-latter years. at least the post-seroconversion freebasing days. i still love her voice. and i still love the tone and timbre of these tracks.

"i never wondered where you went. i only wondered why...."
