A Song in the City

 

Shrill voices that shoot right through your heart ; slightly oily bodies, devilishly clad in printed silk shirts and litany-marked suits saunter onto a stage that’s too small in wastelands or working class houses transformed for the night ; mostly male bodies on the dance floor waiting for the middle of the night and gallons of beer before starting to dance, alone, dancing till delirium to an endless seething hypnotic rhythm all through a night that may have no day.

 

Deafening music is everywhere, dance and electric guitars playing endlessly. Everyone dances, the middle class, the beggars, the madmen.(…)

 

It is 5.00 am. Day breaks onto an orchestra of an endless song. The dance floor is full of rhythm, riveting the bodies. Shapes sleep on chairs and benches, others are still moving. The saturated music saturated everyone’s weariness a long time ago. To never stop dancing, to never stop sleeping in the only possible home : music.
