Week Eighty-Five: Erasure - "Blue Savannah" - Pop! The First 20 Hits

The weather in Dallas has been so awful the past few weeks, and it has been making me feel a bit glum. Fortunately, when I get into these moods, there are a handful of bands that can lift my spirits in no time --- one of those bands being none other than Erasure.  You might recall that I have already covered two of my favorite Erasure hits - "Love to Hate You" and "Chorus" - during Week Fifteen, when I talked about a local teen club called Xenon. This week, however, I am going to cover a few more of my favorites off of Pop! The First 20 Hits, and I will also share with you a scan of my VHS tape for the accompanying videos:

eRaSuRe+eRaSuRe+eRaSuRe+eRaSuRe+eRaSuRe

Score! So I finally found one that even Wikipedia calls: "An uplifting love song, the instrumentation is crisp and heavily synthesized, accented with sweeping, programmed piano."

That being said, however, the video for "Blue Savannah" really, really sux!!! Therefore, I am going to close out the week with another one of my favorites (which is not part of Pop! The First 20 Hits) called "Always", which has an... ummmmmm.... interesting video... yes, I'll stick with interesting as my adjective and let you formulate your own opinion!!!

Blue Savannah song

Oh blue Savannah song

Somewhere 'cross the desert

Sometime in the early hour

In a restless world

On the open highways

My home is where the heart is

Sweet to surrender to you only

I send my love to you

Blue Savannah song

Oh blue Savannah song

Racing 'cross the desert

At a hundred miles an hour

To the orange side

Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is

Sweet to surrender to you only

I send my love to you

I'm on my way back

And your love will bring me home

I'm traveling fast

And your love will bring me home

Will I discover

That your love will bring me home?

Will I discover

That your love will bring me home? Yeah

Somewhere 'cross the desert

Sometime in the early hours

To the orange side

Through the clouds and thunder

My home is where the heart is

Sweet to surrender to you only

I send my love to you

My home is where the heart is

Sweet to surrender to you only

I send my love to you

Oh Savannah song

To you only

I send my love to you

Oh Savannah song

To you only

To you only
