Easter Eggs : Celestial Songs

[Gilly Goodness]

• the Kate Bush's Runnin' Up The Hill rythm to begin On the Run. A wink is as good as a nod 😉


• the choppy Wings like guitar in Sister Shame. And McCartney like verse. Sister Shame. Brother Blame.


• the Coldplayness of Look What You Do. The keenin' singin' over the plaintive piano. Sings in Martin's register. Yellow. I saw you across. Yellow.


• again the vibe of Beyond the Stars mirrors Coldplay's Coloratura. Spooky. With an elegant piano/ orchestration Burt Bacharach would be proud of.

Now. Braide has talked of one song bein' inspired by Talk Talk. But know little of them. ( ? )

• self referential but Keep On Moving reminds me of the vibe of Halcyon Hymns.


• and the most delicious of all? Towards the end of Beyond the Stars, Geoff quotes Moraz at the end of Gates of Delirium.

But. Don't forget what he does at about 3.35.

After the build up. It is the payoff. OK. This just got fascinatin'. A cross melody of pure bliss.

Gilly, check out Talk Talk's last two albums, which are fantastic, seductive slow-grower albums. avoid their early stuff, which is synthpop nonsense.
Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are amazing though.

NEW INTERVIEW WITH RAY SHASHO

• Darker Side of Fame was based on Michael Hutchence. So another one after U2's Stuck In a Moment..

• Sister Shame. Chris is huge fan of XTC. Allowed him and Geoff to work with other people. Partridge. Kate Pierson. Paul McCartney next?

• Chris would like to see The Jam or XTC reunion concert.

• Chris would have loved to have played with T Rex or the Plastic Ono Band. Interestin'. 🤔

• DBA has done only 3 gigs.

Thanks for sharing, a good wide ranging chat (more than an interview).

Regarding Chris mending fences with Trevor Horn I didn't know there was anything to mend. I thought it was just a case that Chris went LA to work.

Horn was miffed that Chris left The Producers.
Read it in an interview. Must have mellowed out.

Also. Relistened to the video. Chris says DBA6 will include a long epic called "Naked Memories".

2024 is shapin' up nicely 😃😘❤
