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: Yes, yet indeed.
gollark: It appears to be secure enough that Chervil has not installed Flare on my test system.
gollark: RCEoR now has a fix for the bug where supplied code could mutate the environment given.
gollark: I don't know why it does share the envs, in any case, but still.
gollark: Anyway, the system does run on a whitelist. I am about to implement more security via non-shared envs for each thing.
