ALWAYS THE LIGHT
‘Nice voice.’ ‘Yeah, nice voice.’ ‘Stevie Nicks sort
of thing.’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Nice synths.’ ‘If you say so.’
‘Don’t you like it?’ ‘It’s alright.’ ‘No, I mean, the sound,
you know…’ ‘What?’
‘Sort of sweet. Comforting.
Relaxing.’ ‘Yeah I suppose so’
‘Well don’t just agree
with me; say something.’ ‘Not much to
say, is there? Just sort of drifts in and out’
‘I like her voice.
Honey dipped, wouldn’t you say?’ ‘Yeah,
honey dipped’
‘The synths are good.
Unobtrusive; complement her voice well.’ ‘Yeah,
sure’
‘For heaven’s sake, you
must have more to say than just ‘Yeah sure.’
‘Whatever’
‘What about that one
that rocked a bit? ‘Count your Steps’ that’s more you isn’t it?’ ‘Yeah, it was alright’
‘It’s like trying to
get blood out of a stone. You must have thought something of ‘Stay Beside Me’;
beautiful touching love song? Or ‘Trials’; a tender confessional. No?’
‘I
just don’t see the point of this music. It comes in; it goes out and says next
to nothing while it’s here.’
‘My stars, I think you
just expressed an opinion.’ ‘Yeah, well I
hope you think it was worth provoking me for.’
‘No need to get
grouchy, I just wanted to hear what you thought of it, that’s all.’ ‘The same as I think of all this shoegazey,
synthy stuff; a waste of time. Why do you like it so much?’
‘I don’t, much. I just
like a few things I’ve heard and you know I’ll forgive a lot when there’s a
good voice singing it.’
‘Sure,
whatever you say. I just think if it isn’t grabbing me by the lapels and
shaking me, it’s not worth the candle.’
‘OK. Coffee?’ ‘Yeah, great.’
‘Can’t we just have it
on, you know, in the background?’
