Where'll we go, I don't know, to the club? 
Darkdisco: shiny synth, flabby bass
Who's he with? Like his shirt. Let's go dance, New Order:
'Sudden sense of liberty'. 
We're too young to know how brief but glorious it is...
Shoes heavy, but feet are light stomping on the floor tonight
Getting looks through clouds of blue...
Darkdisco - crazy low ceiling small town club gotta living room feeling
Only game in the 'toon , but they're playing our tunes
Beat boy central drop it in neutral, youth streaking by like Halley's 
To be truthful 
Gotta just hang on, here comes the dawn - check it

darkdisco

Contains a vivid chunk of string laden British soul from the 70's - 'Sad Sweet Dreamer' by Sweet Sensation.

That.

Halloween Fifteen

Backpack on the bridge, abandoned by the railing
Below, the river's frozen - except for a narrow strip of water, open
Rushing somehow, though so cold - fills my head with scenarios:
Desperate student near the end of semester, 
Seeing no earthly way, imagining no future 
Haunted soul, world on his back - the backpack looks full
Couldn't wait for Spring, so close - a chance of renewal with a new season...
Backpack on the bridge, I've been there...
World of infinite sadness, crack the surface its there...
World of infinite sadness, peel a corner, it's there
Rising up to meet you, welling up to greet you, its there...

Backpack On The Bridge Rumsey Road Remix

Beatfish was a side project for Australians Martin Plaza from Mental as Anything and James Freud from The Models. All Around the World was the second single from their lone  album, and a minor hit on the Australian charts in 1991.

All Around The World - Beatfish (2018 Rumsey Road Remix)

From John Barry's haunting score for Nicholas Roeg's amazing 1971 film "Walkabout". With apologies to both artists!

Walkabout 2018

Perhaps partly also a reaction to the current Covid-19 climate, this track is  influenced by such '80's nuclear threat paranoia songs like "Forever Young" and "Russians". The first verse is borrowed from the last stanza of TS Eliot's "The Hollow Men" and the remaining verses follow the lead of those striking words.
