I will always go Indigo. Just so happens Virginia Wolff came up in my YT feed yesterday and I was bummed that I hadn’t even gotten to the vocals by the time I got home and had to shut down operations. That song has a long instrumental intro

This is a tough one. Both of these songs help round out the vibe of ‘89 but my circumstances dictated that Jesus Jones got more rotation. I agree with your pick.

"Closer to Fine" has historical meaning. It has legacy. And it maintains a presence in the national consciousness. Witness its prime place on the soundtrack to "Barbie."

just put on Kid Fears and Blood and Fire and soak in the over-earnestness of 1989. Still pretty great.
