I don't really have my finger on the pulsebeat of music. I can remember a song 4 decades ago, a hit on this side of the pond: Heartache Avenue by the Maisonettes. So an eighties song. It's got an 80s synth but I think there was something of fifties pop about it (the band's name also sounds mid century). It has lovely harmonies and it has this fuzzy sound like hazy sunshine. A bittersweet sound. And this avenue sounds idyllic and inviting but the guy is warning us listeners to stay away. OK so I wanted to come up with more street names. Disillusionment Lane? I asked chat GPT but it was all alliteration. What kind of mentality is that? Street names don't need alliteration. So I gave up. Heartache Avenue could just be a linear town with one avenue. Anyway I think this song is pure pop perfection and I love it.. . ./ / /iolfree
