Happy Halloween!

As a farewell to the ultimate spooky month of the year, I thought I would share Duran Duran's latest album, Danse Macabre.

Halloween theme (Danse Macabre translates to Dance of Death)

3 new tracks ... Covers of older material

Inspired by a Halloween concert in Las Vegas on October 31, 2022

Core elements - emoti0n, mood, style, and attitude

 "Night Boat" is the first track, side two on Duran Duran's debut album and is the first track on their current.  This song then and now was created by the original lineup and for now honors a reunion in the studio.

With that said, consider the reimagined version of "Night Boat."
