Something to keep in mind

2016/11/04 — Leave a comment

In 1987, The Style Council released their third studio album, The Cost of Loving.

The album’s fourth song, ‘Fairy Tales’, is sung using feminine pronouns—clearly referring to Margaret Thatcher, then Prime Minister of the UK—but the first verse of the lyrics is printed as follows:

The giant towers over all
But from close distance he don’t seem that big at all
In fact he’s no more than you or I
Though we give him far more power than his size

I have had this piece up on SoundCloud for a while, but thought I should make it available for download. It is available on a ‘pay what you want’ basis.

Update: Last month, I discovered that I still had the image file of the DVD edition of the unreleased album I constructed this collage from. Naturally, I can’t do anything with it, since I own neither the music nor the visuals (I never knew the name of the video artist, only that he had signed a contract that effectively rendered his visual contributions off limits), but it has been good to hear (and see) the album again.
