WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

SUNDAY RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER....LUKA BLOOM

Posted 9 months ago


Its not easy watching someone fade away....caught in a destructive spiral....we can only stay out of reach...lest we get sucked in. This song was very popular at the time someone dear to me was drowning, slowly, in morose tears of self-pity, self-loathing. No one could reach her....everyone quit trying, lest they get dragged down.

    There are still songs I can't listen to because they're too freighted with memories of people who were determined to erase themselves. The honest attempt to save them is always necessary. but the hard part is not blaming yourself when (as is almost inevitably the case) the Hollywood ending doesn't materialize.

    My most vivid memory of Luka Bloom is his attempting to open a Pogues concert in NYC in the late 80s. Everyone was already pissed - the poor guy didn't stand a chance. Now that I think of it, that's the last time I was drunk enough to puke....
