Aural Sculpture, 1984
Written by Hugh Cornwell, Dave Greenfield, Jean-Jacques Burnel, and Jet Black
This post-punk song is a smooth, synth-laced groove wrapped around a a hypnotic bass pulse. It serves as a deceptively gentle warning to those who rely on the superficiality of others and how uncertainty can gnaw at you. "Some days there′s things on your mind you should keep / Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap." The detached vocal delivery and droning, cyclical melody serve the message perfectly, and the swooning background vocals give the song polished, urbane, almost sinister feel.
