Sad to learn of the death of Terry Hall :-(
After the demise of The Specials, #Terry_Hall co-wrote the song "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Gos. Hall also recorded his own, more ominous version with his new band, Fun Boy Three (produced by David Byrne!).
Here is Hall's take on the song. So British, so '80s, yet timeless.

Man… rip Terry. I remember in March 2020, the beginning of the lockdown in the States. Skating the streets of the city I live in #Scranton and this song in my head as I looked around and saw barely a soul. “Ghost Town” fit the mood so well. It was surreal and unsettling, but also nice being able to skate in the middle of the street and not have to dodge cars.
