    Ultravox with Midge Ure: simply the best the 80's have to offer. I bought Lament in 84 and I litterally cracked for the band. This passion has lasted years and years and years and is still there today. You never get tired of Ultravox perfect music. Especially the classic 4.

    Ah, but who hasn't felt the pain, anguish, grief - lament of a lost love? The mournful wail of the heart, screaming from the depths of the soul, heavy with regret.
    Or is it the twisting torment of an opportunity missed, a chance not taken, now wondering what might have, what could have been? Where might my life could be if only I had........... ?
    I've lived my life to earn as few of those sentiments as possible, but I love this song anyway; because, as I said, we all can recognize the feeling this song is about.

    Just to twist again
    In stillness, in sorrow
    Returns that softly sighing lament
    And just as the smile's returning
    After all the pain
    The fire inside stops burning
    Just to burn again
    In moments of madness
    Returns that softly sighing lament

I think it was an era where people were kinda nicer to each other and everyone was in the same boat as yeah we had fuck all money but music and our Walkman gave us the beautiful escapes we needed. Band Aid and the performances of Queen , one of the best live artists of all time. So Midge Ure and all I salute you , thank you for the magic. J

    So sad for the passing of Chris Cross, and also because Annabel Giles left us some months ago... I saw this video, and also "Loves Great Adventure" (where Annabel appeared again), in french tv show "Platine 45", being just a little kid. And I loved both videos. Lament was very emotional and moving, with all that fog and the little stories of the four relationships... And the clip was directed by Chris and Midge. This two did excellent videos, which now are beautiful memories of my early childhood. I will always remember those so pure sensations...
