Complicated Game - XTC
It's my birthday today, so this is special. A favorite album, 1979's Drums and Wires painted my world the year I moved to Brooklyn (1980) and lived alone in a basement apartment through some dark days. Complicated Game asked the same questions that filled my head and somehow they resonate today in a similar way. Simple, normal questions, suggesting exaggerated, intimidating possibilities. Ahh, life was so innocent. Nonetheless I did my own thing and survived, with a smile, so I have faith that I'll pull through this year as well. I love the slow build up, the manic climax and the fragmented vocals. Classic Partridge mania.
