Blue Lights.......

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Aldous Huxley - Music at Night

The Sisters of Mercy - Walk Away

Never saw the clip of Walk Away until I discovered Youtube/Myspace. It's just amazing the stuff you can find there: Clips, TV fragments from series of the 50's to now, interviews, ..... it's just endless.

And the amazing part is that you can find almost anything you're looking for! I was searching for footage of several obscure New Wave bands and actually found it. From clips from the Virgin Prunes, over Grauzone (Eisbär) to The Fields of the Nephilim.... it's all there.

Guess this means there are other nutjobs like me who actually like this stuff and collect it.

The clip above reminds of those 70's clips with stroboscopes and laser tunnels (a bit like Bowie's Heroes video). Always great to see the Sisters singing in smoke with dampened blue lights, black clothes and sunglasses.....
