Song of the Day - No 551

THE BOLSHOI - SUNDAY MORNING

Released in 1986 as part of their album "Friends", "Sunday Morning" is a post-punk anthem by English band The Bolshoi.The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics resonated with listeners, contributing to its enduring popularity. Its unique blend of gothic rock and new wave elements solidified its place in the alternative 90's music scene

New intro post: I'm Joy, I moved to this instance a few days ago. I'm 43, from the UK but living in France, and a technical translator/writer.

I dislike most things. However, I am enjoying learning Android development, Kotlin and C#, I like pop music (inc. goth, industrial, new wave, italodisco etc.), renaissance music and supernatural fiction.

Song of the Day - No 131

The Bolshoi - Lindy's Party

WIKI
is a bittersweet ballad about a man who is reflecting on a past love. The song is set at a party, where the man sees his former lover dancing with another man. He is filled with regret and longing, but he knows that it is too late for them to be together. The song is a beautiful and moving meditation on love, loss, and regret
