Talk Talk, “I Believe in You” (1988)

Ian put me on to this. Remember that night last December when there was a lunar eclipse at 3:30 a.m. and people went out to the park and up to the rooftops to see the moon turn orange and then, bit by bit, disappear completely? Amazingly, I saw it from my roof, albeit in a daze. It had become a slightly less-blue than the sky, and I stared at it by myself for a while, but I was also conscious of being alone and cold. I came down the ladder to my apartment and put on this song, then played it again and again. It was now past four in the morning and everything felt laid bare.
