THOMAS DOLBY (THE FLAT EARTH)

[dragonpop421]

One of the underrated albums from the 80's. I spent hours listening to side one, over and over.

@WeirdAGirl: Because his fans werent into it. They needed to push it. Plus radio heads didnt know how to categorize this for a format. Lets understand, that his big hit was a disco tune

[TheCmac1966]

"There are stones buried in your soul

And only a fool would blame the death of rock and roll, uyeah

And in time you'll come to understand

The flat old Earth is in your gentle hands"

When it finally hit me that the "flat old earth" was his world, That he was entrusting it to someone else, it hooked me on this song forever. Men have a really hard time trusting their feelings to someone. This is one of the few that honestly portrays that struggle.

I prefer the sphere-shaped thing. Far more userfriendly. Can´t fall off the edge...:-)

[Posthuman2003]

Greatness

[AAAbstractJack]

WeirdAlyankovicGirl Me too!

This song grows on you

and then when it gets you

you got it forever...<3

[WeirdAlyankovicGirl]

I've often wondered why this great song never achieved mass appeal.

Truly a well crafted pop song...damn!

Someone will eventually cover it and give it its props.

[liverawkstar]

@WeirdAlyankovicGirl

no doubt--

thought the same thing...

why it wasnt huge at release or why it hasnt been rediscovered

[monsirto]

Awesome, thanks...
