Tom Verlaine - Words From the Front (Official music video 1982)

Words from the front. Official music video directed by Ed Steinberg (1982)
Words from the front
January 23rd
There's no road.
It's been raining now for three days
We're in mud up to our knees.
If luck prevails and I'm given leave
I should be home by the 17th.
One word I hear all the time
This word I hear
Blind
John died last night,
He had no chance
Beneath the surgeon's drunken hands.
It's hard to see
Who's about
The fires we light
Soon smolder out.
Up on the ridge
They're dug in deep
We move in waves,
As if asleep.
And there they lay
Four thousand men
The general orders "Attack again."

This album and Dreamtime, two of the great songwriters kind of records. And loved TELEVISION, RIP there Mr. Verlaine, thank you for all the great music and memories.

The mood is autumnal. Leaves that fall; and it is raining. So beautiful, like awakening from a perfect dream.

You get the impression his heart really isn't in making this video. Never knew it existed though so really cool to see it.
