STIL:

NAME: Blood, Starlight, Rain Like Tears.
COMMENT: "Sitting in a backpackers hostel in sydney, get a call from my parents, I can't come home, they've rented out my room. I've been here for 5 weeks now, but only finally got a laptop this day. I was feeling incredibly dark, having spent the last week in bed ill, I really wanted to go home, or failing that, I wanted someone to take a few minutes out of their day to see if I was still alive (okay, so I was feeling kind of melodramatic, lol),  This girl promised to hang out with me, and then cancelled or forgot every time for weeks straight, and I was stupid (read: thinking with my heart instead of my head) and didn't want to acknowlage that she was ignoring me... I was losing my mind, and this music represents that. The full verse is "Blood, Starlight, Rain like tears, Drink from this, and let go the years". I don't know who penned those words, but I dropped the latter half from the title because I promised said girl that I would. This music was made on an emulator (vice 1.8, and of course I had resid turned on :-p). It was also one of my bigger expermients with filters synced from different channels to the one they're targetting. If it works at all on a real C64, I'd consider myself very lucky, lol, because I didn't have access to one at the time." (JJ)
