Скачать или смотреть VENICE AFTER DARK - Original music, based on true story, Shades Of Classic Movie Don’t Look Now.

Older recording, so there are some things in the production I’d change today, as will be evident if you listen, but I view it as a timepiece now.

STORY BEHIND THE SONG
My ex-wife and myself found ourselves in Venice back in 2005.
If you’ve been there you’ll know what a warren of dark alleys and tight little streets the city-centre is, particularly late at night.
Because we knew we were going there we had decided to watch the old Donald Sutherland/Julie Christie movie Don’t Look Now before we left, which is set in Venice in winter, just to get a little flavour of the place, even though I’d been there before way back in 1974. It’s a pretty haunting movie, with a very scary climax set in… you’ve guessed it… the winding alleys after dark.
So, late one night we were wandering around the streets and canals getting enjoyably lost when we found a tiny little family-run restaurant/cafe, and it was totally empty.
So we went in and had the best pasta either of us had EVER had.
Seriously.
I still think of it occasionally, and I’m sure my ex does, too. And a bottle of chianti…. wow….
As we left she walked on ahead because I wanted to get a photograph of the restaurant as it was on this very dark corner and looked really cool as the only building that was lit up in the gloom.
After I’d got the shot I turned around and could see no sign of her. I called out and I heard her little voice answer back ‘I’m lost!’
So I shouted keep talking and I’ll find you. I could hear the water lapping on the edges of the street, and I could hear her footsteps, but couldn’t find her. It was too dark. And too twisty. Her voice started to move up an octave or two as her anxiety levels grew, because I know she was thinking of that bloody dwarf in the red raincoat, with the knife in that movie.
Because so was I.
Eventually we found each other.
There’s an almost identical scene in the movie, which freaked us out somewhat at the time.
All we had to do now was find our bloody hotel.
And that wasn’t easy, because it was tiny - and down another dark alley.
So that’s how this song came about.
