Don't forget "Hell"! Image ("The dead can dance" might fit somewhere in the narrative as well. And come to think of it, "Don Juan" might be considered the original specimen?)

"Living in the past" strikes me as one of the finest performances of Neil's career and even uses a vocal tone and timbre I feel we haven't heard before. Pretty nice trick this far in. Just another way to feel lucky to be a PSB fan.

Did you miss the part where the new version is available to stream worldwide?
His statement can be interpreted as present tense i.e. I'm interested in what PG is bringing to the track.

Brilliant, thanks! Not very different. I was expecting an electronic take to go with the rest of Lost. Interesting choice.

They really do have the best middle eights, the warm synth pad sounds so good...a bit better on the newer version than the demo.
kinda reminds me of London the piano version overall.

It seems someone else has (rightly) taken umbrage with the recent installation of Stalin's bust in a park in Russia:

The past really doesn't last.
