Let me know where you are in the World TS, and I will add you to the 'We know where you live' thread if you wish. Can you also enlighten us on this thread as to the origin of Tin Soldier?The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. -
New York City! (In case that wasn't obvious from the Brooklyn Steel thread - though many came from afar for that)
The Steadfast Tin Soldier (sometimes called The Brave Tin Soldier) was a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. It was adapted thematically for the cover art for Erasure's second single, Heavenly Action, in 1985, and in line with similar art for their album Wonderland.
I found it rather iconic, and when searching for a username to use as part of the burgeoning 90s online Erasure fan community, it sprang to mind. I used it here when joining the old GMB, and to a small extent in other online synth fora/communities. :)
Howdy, Stranger!
