To Tear Uptight
Some, ahem, might hear a discontinued version of Kiss' own God of Thunder (1976) in the opening and main riff of Tears are Falling (1985), and others, well, the bass line from Stevie Wonder's Uptight (Everything's Alright) (1965).
Paul Stanley claims to have heard and recognized the latter from a Eurythmics song in the mid-80s, which is how he got the idea for Tears are Falling's main riff in the first place (1). But to follow the current he has set, one would not want to doubt this at all, because the Eurythmics have in all probability used Uptight's little motif just as surely as they have appropriated and further developed Lipps Inc.'s Funky Town (1979).
By the way, the Eurythmics song that Paul cites with a pure heart is Would I Lie to You (1985). The factor that good old Paul doesn't come out with, of course, is that the layered harmonies of the vocal arrangements of Would I Lie to You must obviously have been a key source of inspiration for the chorus of Tears are Falling. And nothing else but exactly that, and, of course, only the Stevie Wonder element in it appealed to him.
I wish Soul Station Paul and the above-mentioned Statement Paul would one day cross paths through some cosmic coincidence and be forced to discuss this matter calmly with each other in public, under the observation of all their fans.
I mean, you could almost assume he wanted to get caught. Like in a not quite 100% psychological sophisticated crime thriller with a cat and mouse game between perpetrator and investigator. Except that the investigator would be an old and worn-out, unshaven, 3rd class investigator smelling of booze and would kinda catch him with ease.
And that should not necessarily be a compliment to my values.
Side Note:
(1) Which doesn't rule out the possibility that Stevie Wonder might have had a small but not insignificant influence on God of Thunder (1976) nine years earlier. I'll save what else The Beatles might have to do with it for another entry. Or maybe even two.

♫ Uptight (Everything's Alright) ♫ (Redux)
Those of you who have known me for a while know that Stevie Wonder is my #1 guy! When I need a boost or just need to get the toes tapping, I turn to Stevie. I’ve only played this one once, a few years ago, so I think it’s time for a redux, don’t you? I knew that Stevie had been something of a child prodigy, but I didn’t realize he had his first #1 hit at the age of only 13! Blind since birth,…

I got the parasitic thought of Hatbox Ghost and Emily killing it with that Goofy Movie 2 dance scene if a more modern party is ever thrown in the mansion and they are determined to show they are adaptative and hot shit as a couple disco clothes on and all and it won't leave my mind. Someone with better skills and more time these days than me draw this I beg of you

Par la racine de mes cheveux un dieu s'est emparé de moi.

Enfin un chapitre sur Yuri, ça fait plaisir, le début est digne d'un gag de looney tunes. Bien que son travail reconnaît ses exploits, il veut toujours faire plus. Et ce que je trouve intéressant c'est que justement son envie de se surpasser et de vaincre Loid alias Twilight s'accorde au perfectionniste malsain de ce dernier. Tout les deux sont liés à leurs boulot où ils doivent faire le sale boulot pour le pays. Et on le montre bien avec la scène d'interrogatoire avec l'intimidation de Yuri.
Et tout comme Loid, il cache son vrai boulot à sa grande soeur car tout serait terminé si Yor l'apprenait. Mais Yuri a quelqu'un pour l'empêcher trop loin, qui est Chloé qui lui rappelle qu'il est juste humain et qu'il peut être aveugle sur de nombreuses choses. Mourir rendra juste sa soeur malheureuse et c'est pour ça qu'elle le raisonne en plus de le gifler. Tout comme Sylvia envers Loid car tout deux là ont le même boulot et peuvent se comprendre. Et bien que justement Yuri comprend son erreur ça l'incite à s'entraîner encore plus et Yor lui rend visite nous donnant un nouvel indice (selon moi) dans lequel Yuri pourrait être celui qui découvre la véritable identité de Loid. Mais je pense que ce serait bien plus compliqué qu'une révélation et il sera livré.
At last, a chapter on Yuri, which makes me happy, the beginning is worthy of a looney tunes gag. Although his work recognizes his achievements, he always wants to do more. And what I find interesting is that his desire to surpass himself and defeat Loid aka Twilight matches the latter's unhealthy perfectionism. They're both tied to their jobs, where they have to do the dirty work for the country. This is clearly shown in the interrogation scene with Yuri's intimidation.
And just like Loid, he hides his real job from his big sister because it would all be over if Yor found out. But Yuri has someone to stop him too far, who is Chloe who reminds him that he's only human and can be blind to many things. Dying will just make his sister unhappy and that's why she reasons with him as well as slapping him. Just like Sylvia towards Loid, because they both have the same job and can understand each other. And although Yuri understands his mistake, this encourages him to train even harder and Yor pays him a visit, giving us a new clue (in my opinion) that Yuri could be the one to discover Loid's true identity. But I think that would be a lot more complicated than a revelation and he'll be delivered.

♫ My Cherie Amour ♫ (Redux)
When I’m a bit ‘under the weather’, there is one musician who can always make me feel better, even if only for a few minutes. Those of you who have followed my music posts for a while know that one person is none other than Stevie Wonder!!! The title is French for “My Dearest Love.” Stevie wrote this song in 1967 when he was a student at Michigan School for the Blind, recording a rough version…

J'aime les gens qui me donnent de vraies émotions, petits moments de folie et d'insouciance. J'aime ceux qui vivent comme moi, au parfum de la simplicité.

Tout ce que je rencontre devient partie de moi. A vous, tous, que vous le sachiez ou non, qui êtes venus flâner dans le tissu de ma vie et qui en êtes ensuite ressortis : vous m’avez laissé une part temporaire dont je ferai quelque chose. - Sylvia Plath-
