An Untimely Loss
I moved to the US in the early 90s and lost contact with a lot of the things I enjoyed, one of which was Kirsty MacColl's music.
I've rediscovered it and this lens is meant as a celebration of her talent.
If you are new to Kirsty's music then I would recommend watching the video "New England". This is my personal favorite and contains the immortal line "I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill."
