Episode Synopsis

This is just the track to get you dancing! Classic bass line from Evet's Ad Astra days by Tyson Jones. Performed here by Adam Stuartson, during the 2008 sessions. John Mazz on the drum kit. Originally written in 1988, inspired by the art of Patrick Nagel. Lyrics:
Such a pretty picture, pleasing to my eye
Brings to life a beauty, one I can’t deny
All your colors of emotion touched me deep inside
You were daring me to know you before the canvas even dried

Perplexed and confused
Wondering who I had seen
Darting in and out of corners
I got caught in between

Tongue-tied though my lips
Uttered words dripping of a need
Your body moved at angles
As I tried to paint the scene

A subtle composition
More then just a fashion
Your eloquence of motion
More than just a passion

My eyes glossed with your reflection
Seeing what I wanted you to be
I cast shadows in the light between us
Now we can’t see

Your essence was in Vogue
Mixed on a palette of chance
I drew no conclusions
From your penetrating glance

Your style was a statement
Never meant to be surpassed
You made simplicity the rule
One that would forever last…
