32 - All About Eve - Martha's Harbour - Now That's What I Call Music 13

Описание: “Martha’s Harbour” is one of All About Eve’s most hauntingly beautiful moments — a gentle, dream‑like folk ballad that drifts through Now That’s What I Call Music 13 like a breath of still air. Julianne Regan’s vocal is soft, intimate and almost weightless, carrying the song with a sense of wistful longing. The arrangement is deliberately sparse: delicate acoustic guitar, subtle atmospheric touches and a slow, unhurried pace that feels like watching ripples move across quiet water. Its simplicity is its power, creating a moment of calm reflection amid the compilation’s more energetic tracks.

The song is also remembered for one of the most famous live‑TV mishaps of the 1980s. During a Top of the Pops appearance, the band sat waiting to “perform” while the pre‑recorded track played — but they couldn’t hear it in their monitors. The result was an awkward, silent tableau broadcast to millions, which ironically made the song even more talked‑about. Fans often recall that incident with affection, seeing it as part of the band’s charm and the era’s unpredictability. Over time, “Martha’s Harbour” has become a cherished late‑80s classic, admired for its emotional clarity and its ability to create a world of stillness in just a few minutes.
