Song Of The Day 12/3/2015: Joel Sebastian – “Angel in Blue”
"Angel in Blue" was perhaps a little too David Lynch-ian for pre-Vietnam America. The glorious Motown Junkies website offers a neat sum-up of Sebastian's somewhat confused ghostie love story: "On the surface, a man and a woman get together, the man points out he’s already engaged to be married to someone else, they both regret their choices; there’s a subtext which implies the woman is the man’s former partner, who’s since died, and the man is struggling to reconcile his love for her with his feelings for his new fiancée. Or maybe it’s just random nonsense, I don’t know. Sebastian, though, reads it so faux-passionately that it lands somewhere between a Sixties anti-drugs public service announcement and a really bad Shakespeare audio book."
