MUSIC FOR JULY 2021
‘Nothing to Say’
“Nothing to Say,” but I still need five minutes to say it. At this late date I don’t love the lyrics, which aim to explore both my own insecurities and the New Wave sellout of the go-go ’80s. But the song’s inherent drama holds up, enhanced by the elaborate production of this recording made in January 1984 at the Outlook, in Bethel, Maine. Steve Chapman, bass and backing vocals; DH, guitars and lead vocal; Ken Reynolds, drums and backing vocals; Kathren Torraca, keyboards. Remastered from the commercially released audiocassette Six Songs. (Photo by Gretchen Schaefer, August 1984)
