David Sylvian 💙

"In Love With My Friend"

> 1978 <

You were fixing your makeup, you wore some glamorous purple dress, then you finished and now sat on the bench and when you less expected, Sylvo gets in

He looked at you, suprised

"Wow, S/N! How can you look so... oh my god!" He smiled and walked towards you, who smiled

"Thanks David, i appreciate that!" You smiled

"You look GORGEOUS! S/N you should look at yourself more than once!" He exclaimed and turned you to the mirror

And now you were looking at yourself in the mirror again, you did REALLY look gorgeous!

"I don't know where you got this dress but it was not a bad choice. It fits really well with your body shape." David smiled and looked at you, again from your head to your feet

You smiled again, you could see David turning around and grabbing something from some of the tables around his dressing room, then he comes over to you

You looked at him by your mirror view, he had a hair brush with him, he started brushing your hair softly

"Your hair's beautiful!" He smiled as he brushed your hair

You didn’t even reply, but by the blushing, it was clear that it kinda made you happy

"I won't brush it much" David stopped brushing your hair

He embraced you by behind your back and you blushed, so did he!

— She's so cute! I want her for me!" David's thoughts said to him himself

You smiled and feels him leaning his head onto his shoulder, then you did the same. The view of his bleach blonde hair to your hair color made a nice match

Also the different haircur models

You spent 2 minutos embraced with Sylvo, when someone knocks on the door

He opened the door and said :

"Oh, hi! Steve! What's going on?"

"Well, nothing happened. I was just looking for you. Anyways, time to go! We're done with everything. Rich, Mick and Rob had left already" Steve said

"Oooh, okay!" David said and then turned back "Hey, S/N!"

"Yeah?" You turned over

"Wanna come with us?" He asked

"Of course i do!" You smiled and grabbed your backpack

He smiled and took your hand with his, everyone left David's dressing room

The other members have already left, and now there was just you and the Batt brothers

You all got home, Steve closed the door and David sat on the couch

"S/N!" Steve called ya

"Oh! What?" You turned joined him in the kitchen

"There is this chocolate right here, i decided to give you because it was the only one left, also that i know you love strawberry flavoured desserts. So, take it! That's yours!" Steve smiled

"Ooh, nice. Thank you, mate! That's so sweet from you!" You smiled

Steve was not in love with you, but he was also your best friend so of course he would give something really sweet, like ; exactly, some chocolate!

You drank some water and then sat next to David in the living room, he said :

"Oh hey, lovey!"

"Hello again!" You smiled and hugged him

"Is there any leftovers? I'm so lazy to make dinner!" Steve said as he opened the refrigerator

"Oh god, lemme go there" David said "And Y/N, have some rest, you need it"

"I really do!" You giggled and got up, holding your backback

You got into David's room and then you wore your pijamas after having a soft and warm bath, you brushed your teeth and then you got hair down and lied down on his bed

You covered yourself with a blanket, then David got into his room

He smiled to see you and then :

"Hey, love... dinner's almost done, would it bother you to get up and go?"

"Oh, no it wouldn't! I'm going" You got up

You walked downstairs with him and everyone had dinner, it was delicious and then everything was sleeping

David embraced you while you slept, and that's how he fell asleep

[Rain Tree Crow] [Rain Tree Crow] [CD] [1991] 7 years after the separation of the band "Japan" all four musicians found together again under the name "Rain Tree Crow". The result is a masterpiece of music history that can hardly be put into words. Mick Karn, Richard Barbierie, Steve Jansen and David Sylvian shine on their instruments and harmonize so well that it almost hurts. . The individual tracks also hurt, because they are achingly beautiful. Stylistically the music moves away a bit from "Japan" and instead goes more in the direction of David Sylvian's early solo works. Partly jazzy, partly very melancholic, partly gloomy ambient sounds, always exciting and full of surprises and yet comfortably familiar. An unusual masterful mixture of jazz, progrock, artpop and ambient. Those who loved "Japan" sparingly and appreciate the solo works of the individual band members will love this album beyond all measure. The only drop of bitterness is that there hasn't been another album from "Rain Tree Crow" yet. . . . . . “I touched his hand It burned like coal I put paid to the devil And I saw the mountain fall Fall on Feel like crying The joke′s gone too far You can be any thing you want Every colour you are Every colour you are A family man His patience tried Put a torch to his home And warmed his hands by the fire No greed, no desire My roads uncrossed White lined and tarred By believing in you Every colour you are” . . . . .

Where many folks may think this is too derivative of #roxymusic this album really starts to have Japan find their original voice such fine songs as #quietlife #invogue and #theothersideoflife what I have always loved about this band is Mick Karen’s great creative bass playing Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX2You-LKuZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

#adolescentsex the debut album by #japan was released this day in 1978. Combining #Bowie #glam and #newyorkdolls attitude it arrived at a time when #English bands were moving away from those styles and towards the #art and #gloom of #postpunk and was not well received at the time, even the band, once they had moved on the #artrock and #newromantic styles of their later albums was dismissive of it. It is now more highly regarded and its title track, remixed and released a year later, is a classic #music #davidsylvian #mickkarn #robdean #richardbarbieri #stevejansen #70s

Japan - Quiet Life "JAPAN releases the LP "Quiet Life" on Hansa Records in England. Tracks on the new album are "Fall In Love With Me," "Desperate," "In-Vogue," "Halloween," "Alien," "The Other Side Of Life," and the title track "Quiet Life." There is also a cover of the Velvet Underground song "All Tomorrow's Parties." The LP marks the change in Japan as a guitar-glam band, to more of an electronic funk inspired group. Reviewing the Lp, Sounds magazine said, "You never know quite what to expect with Japan. In a seemingly ceaseless quest for success, their short career has to date spanned at least four markedly different musical styles. And yet somehow, despite the often calculated, contrived nature of these moves, the band have never become victims of the changes..... While I'm unsure that Japan will ever become a 'major act' (this despite the 'big in '80' predictions currently being bandied about) 'Quiet Life' is already an album of the year. And this with the current 12 months barely four days old. Believe it." - Post-Punk Diary, George Gimarc . #Japan #QuietLife #OnThisDay #MusicHistory #PostPunk #OnThisDay #OnThisDayInMusicHistory #PostPunkHistory #Glam #GlamRock #January4 #January41980 #1980 #80s #80sMusic #1001Albums #1001AlbumsYouMustHearBeforeYouDie #440 #PostPunkDiary #PostPunkChronicles #NewRomantic #DavidSylvian #RichardBarbieri #RobDean #MickKarn #StevenJansen #SimonBell #AllTomorrowsParties #MusicJournalism #JSimpson https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpmhepIRr2/?igshid=1pxbi7ngfzlif
