Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

After co-presenting Saturday Live on Radio Four, I walk to the station and my route takes me past what used to be Advision, one of the most celebrated recording studios in London. Everyone worked there, from T Rex, to David Bowie, to Queen, to Elton John.聽聽

So did my band, The Communards; but it was thirty years ago, and I don鈥檛 normally walk past with any great feeling of nostalgia. Until the other day, when one of our programme guests was Stephen Morris of New Order. And I recalled in 1986 we were both in Advision at the same time, both working with the same聽producer Stephen Hague, who was such hot property then, he had聽three聽bands in simultaneously, the Pet Shop Boys too, and he was hopping between studios 1, 2 and 3 to fit us all in. I also moonlighted, not with New Order, but the Pet Shop Boys, a piano session with them in a gap between our own.

This means that聽Never Can Say Goodbye, It鈥�s A Sin,聽and聽True Faith聽were made in the same place, by the same people, at the same time. I remember stopping in my tracks when a mix of聽True Faith聽played behind a half-open door, and thinking it was one of the best things I鈥檇 ever heard (I still do). In fact, all three records shot to the top of the charts.聽聽So the corridors, and the pool room, and the artists鈥櫬爈ounge, were crowded with 80s pop luminaries, awaiting Avril with the takeaway from Ragam round the corner (best masala dosa in town). Good times.

Today the building is a voiceover studio, and I was booked there for a job a while ago; so it came to pass that three decades after those glorious sessions I walked those corridors again. What would it be like to return?聽

No flashbacks, no ghostly music, no spectral crunch of a popadom.

Have you yearned, in these past weeks and months, to go back? To a time and place before our present troubles? I have, so much it鈥檚 been like pain: but there is no going back, no matter how much we want to.聽

There鈥檚 only forwards, with all its uncertainty and risk and challenge: and its promise.

And I think of St Peter, cowering in his boat in a storm, and Jesus appears and says do not be afraid; and Peter gets out of the boat, and comes towards him, loses his nerve, begins to sink, and is saved.聽
