Finishing up my #TuneTuesday birth-life-death trilogy for #TheCircleOfLife, here's another not-entirely-cheerful number, Circus Of Death by The Human League.
I've linked the video that was made for (I think) the 1980 release of the song - many early Human League songs got released multiple times in the vain hope of actually getting anyone to buy them - because IT CONTAINS A CAT.
So even if you don't like original Human League, watch the video because of the cat.

Almost forgot about the #ThursdayFiveList. Took some time to think about it this morning and then got distracted and oops.
Anyway, not too late. Here are some songs that are sort of connected to #TheVoid, maybe, a bit.
The All Seeing I (ft Phil Oakey) - First Man In Space
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpWlq_qS1Y
I could've used this when we did space songs on Friday. But I think it's better today, because of how it uses space as an allegory for emptiness, loneliness, and a loss of self-worth.
A.C. Jones and the Soulettes - Hole In Your Soul
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nlPaiOvW4
Not the Abba song of the same name. And honestly, it barely fits the theme. It's just the title, attached to a lovely bit of Cleveland funk.
Keeley Forsyth - Lost
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCdFX9oZSaU
I'm not entirely sure this fits because I'm not entirely sure I understand the lyrics. But it seems to be about absence and emptiness? Anyway, it's an interesting number.
Mount Eerie - Emptiness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m2U1TR25Nc
Kind of self-explanatory, how this fits.
Clark - Absence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9SR4OIPC4s
A beautiful, introspective number. Fits the title in sound, if not words (it's instrumental).

OMFG I just saw the Human League live!
Didn't even realise this was a life-goal, but I just danced my well-toned little butt off to Being Boiled and Don't You Want Me.

Yay! Great group.
And my favourite #HumanLeague track, Things That Dreams Are Made Of (off the LP Dare), wasn't even a single.
