Sade: RFD

Ah, but who cares...smoooooooooooooooooooooth.

You make it sound so...*dirty.*

I will not stand idly by while bad things are said about an album that has "To Turn My Back On You" on it.

You won't need to -- Karen is a Sade fanatic, f'r instance.

So has Bruce Springsteen. Hasn't made me love HIM any more than usual, ie not very. ;-)

Not kneeling.

Been watching that '94 live DVD lately. Irresistible.

The video for ' Love is Stronger than Pride' has aged extremely well(You can't say that about a lot of music vids made in the 80s). Saw it on VH1 recently and it still looks fabulous. And the song is as haunting as ever. DAMN she's smoove...

that Beachwood Sparks cover of 'by my side' that andy mentions above still slays me every time

Hmm. I can't remember what the video for Love Is Stronger Than Pride looks like. I'll have to get me some You Tube.

The 1994 Live video is really something, innit? Some asshole I knew stole it from me once and I had a fit. I bought a new one and taped a note to it "If you steal this I will hound you to your grave" or some such.

Okay watching this thing on You Tube, I don't remember that video for Stronger Than Pride at all. How can this be? And how can she possibly BE that beautiful? I've always been in awe of her beauty and greatly humbled by it. It has no bearing on the music at all, of course, which only makes it more striking. It's like yeah, you get this marvelous music, but you also get to look at her while you're at it. Indeed HOW could she be that beautiful? It's not like they hired her to look pretty for someone *else's* music video, you know?

There's one thing that gets me about the video for "Never As Good as the First Time":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfzmVUrZplw

It's the one where she's riding a horse. I've always thought it was clever how the first few shots entertain the possibility that she's not really riding the horse - that a double is on the horse, or the horse is on the back of a van or something - but then, paf, she's riding a horse. The video has other shots but it could be just four minutes of Sade riding a horse and I would be happy.

There's a game called Lone Sails where you drive a train left-to-right across the countryside. Someone should make a game in which Sade rides from right-to-left on a horse, then a motorbike, then a dolphin, then a horse again, but a bigger horse. That would be awesome.

The top google link for "sade riding a horse" is that video. And "Soldier of Love", in which she also rides a horse. And also "Sweetest Taboo" where she also rides a horse. If her music career tanks - perhaps she gets an ear infection that interferes with her balance - she could always do a TV show in which she talks about horses. Wouldn't have to ride them.

Sade in B&W is ❤️❤️❤️

Fucking A.

Given the way these things seem to work these days (with official social media pages being updated) I'm wondering whether we get a new song as soon as Friday

Did anybody get that remastered vinyl box? All 6 studio albums. Around $200. I want it so bad.
