U2 - The Unforgettable Fire from The Unforgettable Fire (1984) /dreamy alt rock/
((” Carnival…The wheels fly and the colors spinThrough alcohol…Red wine that punctures the skin.Face to face,In a dry and waterless place.Walk on by,Walk on through,So sad to besiege your love so head on.Stay in this timeStay tonight in a lie. I’m only asking but I, I think you know. Come on take me away. Come on, take me home. Home, again.”
The heavy blue of morning fades over the stark black roadway. Warm, humid moisture hangs onto the edges of the air, resilient against the delicate icy prickles. Hidden in the uniform glow of dim, even light, a starling raises its matted feathers from the damp asphalt, and buffeted by the melting wind, takes flight. Speedblurred into a shimmering smear of bluish brownish hue. Stretched to feel the neon rush of city streets and the coarse patterns of desert sand. Flung against the world without a map or compass for company.))
