Inspirations – Japanese Whispers

JAPANESE WHISPERS

Some of these songs are too personal to explain properly, sorry!

Let's Go To Bed - A nonsense set of words to complement what I then considered to be a hideous piece of 'commercial' pap... But it grew on me...

Just One Kiss - The song I felt should've been the 'A' side - about a night I once had...

The Walk / The Dream - Babbling in 'electro-pop' - We hired in an oberheim set and ran away withourselves... True stories...

The Upstairs Room / Lament - Written while I was sleeping on the floor in Steve Severin's flat... Not so true stories...

The Lovecats - As close as we could get to a perfect pop song...

Speak My Language - More nonsense... And...

Mr Pink Eyes - Us "jamming" late one night - The words are about me...
Inspirations from Robert Smith were published in Cure News fanzine n° 10 in December 1990.
