JoeGBradford Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Very sad news indeed - when I first moved away from my home town Hartlepool in the north east of England to the deep south of Winchester, Soft Cell's 'Bedsitter' song was a frequent companion to my lonely nights in such an abode. RIP 1
Starship Krupa Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Oh noooooo.... I was recently trying to list the musicians who have influenced my own music and David Ball is in the top 5 at least. My favorite Soft Cell song, radio edit. The immortal lyric: "And the girl underneath doesn't care who you are And you're nearly there and she still doesn't care And her chewing gum is getting stuck in your hair" Never fails to bring a laugh. The synth bass line is ferocious in note selection, tone, and execution. 1
