SotD: "Beautiful Dream" by Adam Ant

Adam Ant's last album Wonderful came out in 1995, which of course means he's hardly relevant anymore. And yet, he is one influential dude. Bands have totally bitten his military/gypsy/American Indian-inspired style, including Coldplay. Of course he was so over that stuff in the nineties and he was making music with long time writing partner Marco Pirroni and Boz Boorer of Morrissey fame.

This single, written without the help of Boorer, is a tale of love, lust, biology, and safe sex. It also kind of reminds me of "The River of Dreams" by Billy Joel.
