Filled with family pride for my cousin Claire Harrison who has written her first crime novel! Touches of wry humour and also a realistic look at how often the hunt for the truth would meet dead ends. A page turner! 🔥

Great idea, I found the posts for some lists didn't seem to be visible for days at a time? My #artistfave15 for October was the Psychedelic Furs
I have just picked up that DW album, it's a beauty! 🔥
🙏 The lyrics are an excellent mix of abstract and protest! An ideal for living 😉
❤️ Nice number one! Shimmering and bright!
A great description of a glorious number one! 🥰🥹
Thanks to Drew and Yuri for hosting - it's been another glorious immersion in the world of the Furs! Some screen tie ins to finish. The Aus drama Love My Way with cover by Magic Dirt and the film of Aciman's Call Me By Your Name

The Psychedelic Furs

Love My Way (1982)

From Forever Now

They just want to steal us all and take us all apart
But not in

Distinctly Furs, with claustrophobic xylophone opening up into a celebratory chorus if you follow Richard down the new road.

The ultimate 80s teen flick soundtrack! ❤️
I may also be a bit of a fan of the film....
Redefined what a pop song could be! And a hit pop song at that!
Another towering piece! 🔥

The Psychedelic Furs

Pretty in Pink

Lives in the place
At the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight

An outsider anthem and a window into bohemia for this suburban boy.

🥰 Excellent stuff and must admit to being a big enough fanboy to have the book! 😎😎
🥰🥰 I will, of course, shortly be posting the bookend song from the film 😎 A probably well known bit of trivia is that Andrew McCarthy is sporting a bad wig in the reshoot because he had already shaved his head for his next role 😉
More incredible facts that I definitely need to know! Love the song and film! #justiceforducky 🥰🥰
👌👌It has repaid repeated listens over the years and has definitely moved up to a podium position! Great choice for your favourite! 😍

The Psychedelic Furs

The Ghost in You (1984)

Inside you
The time moves
And she don't fade

A deceptively sweet melody, for a lyrically layered song, with overlapping undercurrents suggesting that the odds are against the hero who can't let go.

🥰 So great to hear! I'm really excited for you too, I've never seen them live! 🔥

The Psychedelic Furs

Heaven (1984)

Is the whole of our hearts
And heaven
Don't tear you apart

A beautiful invitation to a better world made iin our image.
