“I live in a wafer thin dream”


Waves - Blancmange
OK I admit it. I have a liking for miserable dirgelike songs, and this is one of the classics of that genre. Naturally my college room mate hated it as she liked more upbeat poppy songs, wheras I preferred to wallow in misery.
While Duran Duran were living the highlife, posing in designer clothes on classy yachts in the Far East, poor old Blancmange’s video budget only stretched to a cap and a sou’wester on a fishing boat off the coast of Cornwall! In case anyone thought that perhaps the video was filmed in a studio, check out the drenching at 2:10, LOL.
