    • @Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole
      @Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole 6 месяцев назад +1

      I was thinking that his instrumental, 91 Steps, may have been influenced by Phillip Glass. The literally odd tine signature of 7/8ths, and the hypnotic overlapping of repeating figures.

I know it feels like you won't ever get over it and I'd be a liar if I told you you will, but you don't you just learn to live with it, it is different when you lose your life partner as apposed to losing a relative I dunno it just feels much deeper and more personal vince. Just give yourself time and remember the good times you Oscar and Tracy shared and you will learn to smile again in time I absolutely promise you x stay beautiful vince I send you and Oscar and the rest of the family all my heartfelt love mate xx jason

    such mind-numbingly boring questions. Poor Vince seems to be even more disinterested in and disillusioned by this circus than usual. and now we know why. the interviewer should've made more effort anyway than asking Smash Hits stuff when meeting a sensitive genius. I guess it will take Vince a long time to return, what a difficult time

I was in Quezon City last year an this DJ (hip girl around 30) was playing songs outside TGI Fridays and played "Blue Savanah." I was blown away. I doubt she was born in 1990 when "Blue Savanah" came out. Epic song.
