mp3: Belinda Carlisle - Leave a Light On
I can sense the shock already, but I feel no shame in publicly posting some Belinda. Truth be told, my Belinda Carlisle Greatest Hits album was my second official CD, back in 1993, following on quickly from Faith No More’s Angel Dust. Plus I first fell for the music of Belinda when I was a mere nine years old, so that’s coming on for 20 years.
This song is a particular favourite. Great vocals, palm-muted riffage giving way to rung out chords and soaring eighties power. But where it particularly lends itself to my personal memories is a cover version my band once did a few years ago. I guess it was for an eighties night in the 13th note in Glasgow, where every band had to play a few of their own songs and include at least one suitable cover. We ended up reworking this track, and it actually fitted our style pretty well, with noisy indie rock clashing with the radio friendly voice of our singer Pamela. Simply fantastic fun, and whenever I hear this song, I’ll be filled with the buzz of performing once more.
Ah, Balloonda, as Smash Hits memorably dubbed her when she had some weight ‘issues’. She was a one for the hands-aloft-storming-key-change-of-joy-pop anthems, wasn’t she?
At one point, my lifelong ambition was to be in Belinda’s band, walloping the tamborine, but then I realised that that function belongs to the flame-haired goddess herself.
Oh well…..
