Mica Paris "My One Temptation" 1988
it was the year
of lonely train journeys
whistles and platforms
my world ripped apart
the die was cast
all bridges burnt
with no choice
but to start again
months and years
merged into each other
it all became a distant memory
until i hear this song

ReplyDeleteFunny how we can store memories far back in the attic of our brains for a long time, and it takes only a few bars of a certain song and they all come back. Great write, lovely music!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully stark and evocative Rall - great writing achieved seemingly effortlessly and simply enough - yet still punching through so strongly... Always a sign of true quality in my eyes...
