"I Wanna Fly Away"
(Transcript from Italian TV interview with Blue Russell, 1984)
“…with Blue Russell, I Wanna Fly Away. Blue Russell, what is the name of the song?”
“I Wanna Fly Away.”
“You are very beautiful, all made up with candy-pink lipstick and your emerald eyes and your hair is blonde corkscrew curls.”
“I am here to perform a song, I will wear a metallic vest cut to odd angles with a big voluminous skirt to let me strike a series of vogue-like poses as I mime. The lyrics are hard to decipher but their meaning is clear. I will sing of escape and fantasy, and the shimmering dramas of the song will work their spell with the stage set’s drab functionality. The rapture is hidden in all those places between. It’s buried in moments when the sync between live performance and playback tap doesn’t correspond, when the dancing is led by a choreography of the bedroom mirror, when the clothes aren’t co-ordinated, when the whole presentation totters on the edge of ruin. I seek to embody the essence of amateur spectacular showbusiness, of Artforum Readers’ Wives, of living through the lipstick and glitter smeared cigarette end last days of disco.”
“When you talk about the lyrics, are they important to you?”
“Not as a platform to actually say what might be meaningful, but more as an artfully crafted set of syllables enunciated in a just-so sort of way to trigger many poignant emotions. They have an inherent truth. This will trigger speculations spanning the whole world some twenty-five years into the future.”
