Whenever I hear a harpsichord the next thing I expect to hear is an ojou-sama’s “ohohohohoho!”
I just think of “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers when I hear it now.
Thanks for sharing, this was new to me
No problem, it’s one of those songs i like to listen to on hot summer nights outside.
Beat me to it. Also the music video rules, because the guy playing the harpsichord looks exactly like a early Soviet political cartoon of
if he was hooked on heroin and sweatily playing harpsichordYou ever listen to the mariachi one Hugh Cornwell did a few years back? It’s my go-to song to play when i’m given a nylon string guitar.
And yeah, Dave Greenfield just looked like that lmao.
No, but thanks for the suggestion!
Lol yeah he’s got the slightly upturned nose like the Whos from the Grinch that just oozes snootiness at first look
Lmao, he does look like a British failson strung out while “exploring the orient”.
It makes me think of pompous dinner parties hosted by nobility

The arrangement in this song is so good… harpsichord, organ, violin, and the vocals… beautifully melancholy

Whenever I hear a harpsichord all I want to do is snap my fingers.
Music itself can’t be pompous or snobby, it’s just music
Makes me think of the Warcraft 2 soundtrack
