FiftyFive ~ # 6
And today is the shortest day to be followed by the longest night - and the moon is still little more than a slice and the stars are out and while this song is out of sync and all a bit silly on the video there is a line that has haunted me since was a child and that was a very long, long time ago. Chucking a song together is the easiest thing in the world because you can sing anything - as I proved to my students this year by singing their module handbook. But then sometimes a line comes along to make you sit up and think and this song has that - the darkest hour is just before dawn. I always thought the band were a bunch of stiffs, what a strange crew, OK Michelle was cute and Mama was, well Andrea Dworkin would object to me even talking about her - and goodness, isn't Dworkin a scream, she sincerely believes boys don't cry and the whole world is a penis waiting to slice through everything, strangely odd woman. But this is a seriously good song and the darkest hour...well:
