64

64
--

***64*** is the tenth and final studio album by English rock musician Luke Melvin. He intended it to be the final, final album he would ever release in order to go with his *Anthology*series and to complete his discography. It has been certified 5x platinum since its release in 2004. It includes the hit single and title track "64".

## Background

For his sixty-fourth birthday, he intended to release an *Anthology* box-set and to go with it, he decided to briefly come out of retirement and release a final studio album. He decided to release it as his age. Ironically, he recorded it mostly when he was 62 and 63.

## Songs

"64" was a song Melvin wrote, ironically, when he was sixty-two. He wrote it in commemoration of his sixty-fourth birthday, and when it was done sounded like a good album title and an A-side.

"Coast" was a song about the coast around Cornwall and the fish-and-chip shops he always went to when he was there. Melvin said in his autobiography that he "loved the coast" and the "community around Cornwall".

"That's My Line" was written about petty plagiarism battles, like someone always talking about something, then someone else start talking about that thing, then the person suing.

"Escape" was about the manic mood of his 1975 US Tour. He said in his autobiography that he seriously considered ending his life in that tour and it was the "reason" he didn't tour again until 1991.

"Sophie" was a song that Melvin wrote to his wife Sophie. He said in his 2004 autobiography that he loved her so much but realised he had never released a song written to her. So he did so.

"I Promise" was a song that Melvin wrote to his wife Sophie. It was about the promise he gave her in 1969 when he married her and he hadn't yet broken that.

"Just Lonely" was a song Melvin wrote about the old people in Liverpool he knew when growing up in the fifties.

"Working Class Hero" was a song written by John Lennon that Luke Melvin covered on *64*.

Back in the USA Tour

**Back in the USA** was a 20-date concert tour of the USA undertaken by Luke Melvin and Luke's Band spanning three months in 1994. It was his first US tour since the controversial 1975 US Tour but luckily wasn't as controversial and well-received. People were very excited for Melvin to appear in their city. Though the tour coincided with his *Luke and The World Tour*live album, it was mainly to repair his reputation of US tours and please the American people. The August concert from New York City's Madison Square Garden was documented in the live album *Back in New York City*.

## History

Due to his bad reputation of a US tour and his desire to please the American people, Luke Melvin embarked on his Back in the USA tour. The title was a deliberate: 'is it going to be as bad as before?'. He decided to sit in a pre-tour press conference like he did in the controversial press conference in 1975 as a joke and it was taken well. He said as a pun in the conference: "Is no one going to ask me if I can get the Beatles back together?". He *was* asked about his relationship with Paul McCartney and he said: "We're OK. He's a mate, I guess."

## Set-list

All songs written by Luke Melvin, except where noted.

* "Roll Up, Roll Up, We're On Tour"
* "I Need You For Love"
* "The Lord Gives To You (So Give Back To The Lord)"

Governo Saalfeld III

Il **governo Saalfeld o meglio governo Saalfeld III** è il ventottesimo governo della Germania nel corso della 21ª legislatura del Bundestag, in carica dal 30 settembre 2021 al 6 dicembre 2021. Si è formato a seguito delle elezioni federali del 2021, è formato dalla Maggioranza composta da **SPD** e Verdi con l'appoggio esterno della **Linke fino al 14/11/2021, poi della CDU dal 15/11/2021 fino al 20/11/2021 e infine non come appoggio esterno ma parte del governo dalla Linke e l'FDP dal 21/11/2021 fino al 6/12/2021**. E' sempre guidato da Andreas Saalfeld ma sta volta come leader o candidato presidente della SPD.

Il Governo termina con le dimissioni di Andreas il 6/12/2021 dopo che i Leader appena eletti della SPD chiedono che i Verdi e l'FDP escano fuori dalla maggioranza. Per tanto vista l'impossibilità di formare una maggioranza si andrà ad elezioni nel gennaio 2022 che da una netta vittoria di Andreas e del suo partito Sinistra Ecologista, nasce così il **Governo Saalfeld IV**.
