As usual Barry (of Barry’s Coaches) had picked me up at 7.30 am at the top of the street and the bus was making its way to Kirby Muxloe to pick up the next group of passengers when this song came on. I wasn’t concentrating and had missed the introduction but as a Soft Cell devotee I could tell it was definitely Marc Almond singing but wondered if this was a ‘Marc And The Mambas’ single or a solo song as it was much farther away from Soft Cell’s first album and the likes of ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’ and ‘Torch’ which had been the last two singles.
This song was also much darker and the kind of song parents didn’t like. I was 14 so I loved it!
On Saturday I got the bus to town and bought the 12’ version, which was longer and played it again and again very loudly. I remember my Dad complaining!
‘Where The Heart Is’ is one of my favourite songs from the ‘Art Of Falling Apart’ album and one that I still play regularly. It reminds me of the first time I heard it and the fun times that I had on the school bus…
Travelling to school and work for long periods has always been a feature of my life, commuting to school and now on the tube and music has always been there on these journeys. I don’t know what I would do without it…
Now listen to the song….
