This is my long overdue pingback to the Cocteau Twins' 1990 LP, _Heaven or Las Vegas_.
Thank you for your interest in my work. Your kind words, praise and image faves are highly encouraging and deeply appreciated.

Cocteau Twins were a Scottish rock trio (1979 to 1997)

Here is a sample video (with bokeh!): youtu.be/L_Tj4bJ0VFw
Theirs was a distinctive sound described at the time as "ethereal goth;" which begat a music subgenre now called "synthwave," "darkwave," "shoegazer," or "dream pop."
One would listen to their LP records (or CDs) from start to finish; single songs just weren't enough! They were a posterchild for 4AD, a British independent record label that packaged albums with visually distinctive identities that incorporated abstract images like my photograph above.
I can't relinquish this

Neither can you.
I led him down to it
Can't get round to it
I led him down to it too
I let him loose in it
Can't get used to it
I let him loose in it too.

the mind is muddy today... post hangover from miss velvet cream's bday celebration. the cocteau twins always set me right and get the muddled thoughts clear again.
Apparently, black people don't exist in the Dishonored universe.
Regardless, I imagine my Corvo as a black man of dark beauty whose assassination skills are off the chain.
An outsider doing the dirty work of the Outsider.
I have seen the mystics play there once or twice
But I knew they had a reason
Enchantment plays its cards all right
Hand in hand with the working of the seasons
Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness sake
Legends can be now and forever
Loved by the sun, loved by the sun
Loved
Two and two go so close together
Whether there is hope that is torn apart
In the words of all that's singing
Hand in hand the beginning is at the start
Legends can be now and forever
Teaching us to love for goodness sake
Legends can be now and forever
Loved by the sun, loved by the sun
Loved
Loved by The Sun
