Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween give her a trumpet
And for Christmas, buy her a drum

You thought it was the best thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home . . . acting proud
You wasn’t there standing in my shoes”

40 years ago this week, "One More Night" by #PhilCollins reached the top spot, replacing "Can't Fight This Feeling" by #REOSpeedwagon after 3 weeks. This video is shot in the same bar and takes place after the video for "Sussudio", which climbed the charts a few months later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVq-P3z5Vg #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo
The decline of SFX serves as a valuable lesson regarding the challenges of commodifying a subculture, highlighting the resilience of outsider communities. Prior to the rise of electronic dance music (EDM), dance music had thrived for decades as a grassroots and often marginalized community, with its members cautious of any efforts to exploit its cherished authenticity. Despite SFX's attempts to engage with a new generation of dance music enthusiasts, it struggled to resonate with the dedicated core audience at the heart of the genre. SFX developed within the EDM boom, a time when it seemed that electronic dance music would dominate the industry. However, the transition of a subculture into the mainstream can often alienate its foundational audience. As casual fans shift their interests elsewhere, a significant void is left behind.

Sooner or later you`ll make a mistake
I`ll put you in a chain that you never can break
Legs and arms and body and bone
I pay in blood, but not my own

You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees

See like me or be like me
