In No Particular Order: Favorite Songs :: "Headlights on the Parade"

4/14/2015

 
People love to issue lists of "Bests," "Worsts," etc. It's a big thing on the interweb these days.
I like lists, too, and I occasionally get sucked into the almost-inevitable arguing that follows them, but I feel like that's a fool's errand. And I feel like lists are often used as a tool of provocation. So, we're going to go a different route (for now), and just occasionally post a little bit about a song we like. If anyone is even out there reading.... anyway.

"Headlights on the Parade" :: Written by Paul Buchanan :: Performed by the Blue Nile
I've listened to this song thousands of times. The whole record (Hats) is wonderful. This track has a pulse and atmosphere that is subtle but transporting. Maybe it will take you somewhere, too.
You should be able to listen in one of these spots (do yourself a favor and don't watch the video--just listen):
  • Spotify
  • YouTube

Side Note: The Blue Nile--and the Hats album specifically--were a huge influence on our epic-synthpop outfit Jordan.
