Every Breath You Take (Denmark + Winter Re:Imagined)

In 1992, Rich Conaty's long running THE BIG BROADCAST on WFUV-FM reached it's 1000th show. A special program broadcast from NYC's Red Blazer II included Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, Dolly Dawn, Arthur Tracy, lyricists Mitchell Parrish (STARDUST) and Edward Eliscu (FLYING DOWN TO RIO). Here is the first part of this historic program.

STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING
(Robert Frost - 1922)

Whose woods these are I think I know.   
His house is in the village though;   
He will not see me stopping here   
To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   
To stop without a farmhouse near   
Between the woods and frozen lake   
The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   
To ask if there is some mistake.   
The only other sound’s the sweep   
Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.

Dream Goes On Repeat 4.28.17

'Wales' is the debut release from his forthcoming album due out in 2018.
Self-Released this Friday 24th Nov on Heart Achers Records pre order now on ITunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/wales-single/id1303633231?ls=1&app=itunes

L U C A is a 27 year-old Self-releasing songwriter from South East London. Wales is the first track from his debut album. Born somewhere in the grey-sprawl of suburban London, he spent his childhood studying poetry and literature; devouring the words of Thomas, Larkin and Yeats and living vicariously through the mad dreams of the book-characters he loved. 
 
Teaching himself to play guitar after hearing Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne, he began writing songs in his late teens, but found their simplicity empty, thinking that they asked no great questions of the world. Whilst living in a cellar in an indistinct seaside town he found his voice; the wailful choral outpouring which has come to be his blazon, and with it, also, the beginnings of the words which have come to be his songs.
 
His voice, which has been likened to Anohni, Benjamin Clementine and Patrick Watson is a rare mix of the soulful and the operatic. His metier; ethereal dream-folk melodies which tell simple stories, rising to soaring choruses. His lyrics pose honest questions, demanding the listener address the unmentioned troubles that lie just at the edge of everything we know.

Imogen Heap solo, with piano only, in the studios of WYEP-FM, Pittsburgh.  I think this was 1999, though it would make more sense if it were 1998.  But I'm just not sure.  :)
