Pop Shield

I’m at that Lark In The Park with Nations Favourite, staring at the set list I’ve taped to an empty flight case and pondering. About exactly why so many of the classic chart hits by two of these big MOR bands on the bill seem to be obsessed by the vertical axis.

It’s like they were literally written with future elevator playback in mind.

Or perhaps I’m missing the spiritual aspect here.

Anyway…

‘Rise’ (up it goes).

‘Shine’ (down, from the sun above).

‘Out of Reach’. (presumably featuring an arm extended upwards, but arguably across).

‘Ocean Drive’ (in horizontal plane shocker!!!!)

‘Dreams’ (which appear in a little thought cloud above one’s head).

‘Live Again’ (rise up from the dead).

‘High’ (up again).

‘Lifted’ (case closed).
