Blue (Double album)
Blue is the first full-length album from Swiss band Double. In addition to containing updated versions of two of the band's earlier singles ("Woman of the World" and "Rangoon Moon"), the album included the international smash hit, "The Captain of Her Heart", a plaintive, atmospheric, piano-led ballad which was an immediate success throughout Europe (and eventually, the U.S.) upon its 1986 single release. Follow-up singles "Your Prayer Takes Me Off" and "Tomorrow" were less successful.

gollark: My faith in humanity is stored as a floating point, so if it goes too low it'll just be -Infinity or NaN or something.
gollark: I wouldn't trust Trump to actually do any of the things he's said he would.

gollark: So it would *basically* make everyone happy.
gollark: You could sell the random number generator as:- being free of the conscious and unconscious biases of humans- allowing God to intervene easily in decision making if necessary- being cheap, simple and small-government-y
