Tune in as the Radio Dial offers up a relatively forgotten album track from rock and soul legends Hall & Oates, entitled “Cold Dark and Yesterday”. Extracted from 1984’s Big Bam Boom LP, and written and sung by John Oates, CD&Y reverses the normal Hall & Oates recipe of Daryl as lead singer and John as harmony vocalist.
I’ve always appreciated the slightly spooky, vaguely unsettling vibe of this track, which is quite unlike Daryl and John’s typical output.
“Disembark, disconnect, possibilities unknown… on the edge of a heading for heavy weather…”
