Name: All Your Actor Friends
Duration: P00H04M20S
Description: Another track about a turn of the century writer, this time George Bernard Shaw. I was never quite as satisfied with this one, because I feel like the ironic tone I intended for the whole thing didn't quite come through. Also, the first of several songs in which I experimented with NES samples after hearing Super Madrigal Brothers.

lyrics

It’s whispered in circles
Whispered in circles
Meetings colliding and you showed up
Empty handed again

From the wings to the balcony
It’s whispered in circles, whispered in circles
That you turned up
Empty handed again

Welcome to your proclivity
For boundless sensitivity

Which age has led you
To this decision, to this decision
Society’s enemy
So early and so cordial

Is it true that the socialites
Are the leading lights of socialism
All your actor friends
Playing patriots again

Welcome to your complicity
Party to duplicity

And sir
What does your new theology hold for me
In this world
Of heartbroken houses mending
Just visions of revolution
Where ladies volunteer
To do the work of peasants
Even you’re not so austere

Welcome to impropriety
Your part in this society
And welcome to your morality
So far from your reality

Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021

Wonderfully clear and smooth - very well done. Only my favourite by a slim margin, though :P Okami Shiranui
