The re-recording of my track 'All Clear', recorded during lockdown 2020 for my own entertainment, and hopefully yours.
Eagle-eared listeners will notice the clips from my favourite John Hughes movie Pretty In Pink. Who's your favourite rich/poor boy/girl miming/wishful makeupping / named after a domestic appliance character? None of them?? I hope they shrivel up and fall off.
Should have used that clip in this recording. Ah crap.

'All Clear' lyrics
Boy, your name in blue
I love to see it written down
I love to see it spread around but not now - and not here
Sounds like bitter memories
So bad I can’t hear your breaths
I can hear them now I’m here,
All clear, all clear
And what do I do?
Watch a candle burning down
Looking through your distant eyes
By your side
Curl round your body like sad armour
As if I could protect you
Watch, nothing I can do
(Your name in blue, I love to see it written down)
Through the corridors I tear
Searching for your face
I want so badly to see you
Wanting so much to heal your pain
Feelings a rush - a crashing wave
When you tell me that it's all clear
And what do I do?
Watch a candle burning down
Looking through your distant eyes
I think about it all the time
Curl round your body like sad armour
As if I could protect you
All clear, all clear
And what do I do?
Watch a candle burning down
Looking through your distant eyes
By your side
Curl round your body like sad armour
As if I could protect you
Watch, nothing I can do
Now I’m here, I’m here
