Revolution Star

about

Composed by Jim Harper (guitar) and Jeffrey Bright (voice, lyrics) circa 1984-1985, "Revolution Star" was previously unnamed and likely never performed by B Pictures. Harper's guitar track was transferred from cassette tape in 2021, restored, then mixed with new vocal performances and a full arrangement in 2022. Snippets of the lyrics would, in 1986, be included in the Pleasures Pale song "In My Dandelion Field."

lyrics

If I could catch my breath
I’d tell you just what I feel
I’m sure we could make it
We could make it such a lovely meal
Twice as nice and not split in two
The world revolves around me and you
Around me and you

If there’s pain in the past
Here’s a rule for today
There is nothing now
Nothing I’m afraid to say
Twice as nice and not split in two
The world revolves around me and you
Around me and you

If it all should end tomorrow
If the sun’s not smart
I’m sure we could make it
We could make it on another star
Twice as nice and not split in two
The world revolves around me and you
Around me and you

about

B Pictures Dayton, Ohio

Featuring future members of The Pleasures Pale and Guided by Voices, B Pictures made a brief but vibrant mark on the mid 1980s Dayton OH indie music scene. BP's sound grew from post-punk and neo-psychedelic movements of the period — a la Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and Dream Syndicate — and eventually stretched into territories inhabited by literate song stylists such as The Smiths. ... more
