Headlights on the Parade the full unedited 6min and 16 secs album version has never had a promo until now. Enjoy.

The Blue Nile are an adult alternative/pop band from Glasgow. The music is built heavily on synthesizers and electronic instrumentation and percussion, although later works featured acoustic guitar more prominently.

Headlights on the Parade is from the album Hats and like the whole LP, utter genius.

The band was formed in 1981 when Paul Buchanan (born 16 April 1956, Edinburgh) and his friend, Robert Bell, met Paul Joseph "PJ" Moore after graduating from the University of Glasgow in the late 1970s

Although their individual degrees did not reflect their future career wishes (English Literature, Electronic Engineering and Mathematics, respectively), their mutual friendship grew out of their shared interest in music, and they began writing and recording together. Prior to their work in The Blue Nile, Bell and Buchanan were previously the key members of the band Night by Night, who had a small but enthusiastic following in the Glasgow area (they had made demos of songs like "Rio" and "Stay", but were not commercial enough at the time to secure a recording contract).

The Blue Nile released Hats in 1989 to rave reviews, including a rare five-star rating from Q magazine.

The album was recorded in the same studio as much of their previous work, Castlesound in Pencaitland, East Lothian. The album explores the highs and lows of romantic love. At the time, Hats reached #12 on the UK Albums Chart and slipped into the Billboard 200 in the United States. All three singles from the album reached the UK Singles Top 75.

Rickie Lee Jones, a fan of the band, selected The Blue Nile as her opening act for her 1990 tour. She would later record a duet with them, a cover version of the band's own "Easter Parade", which was featured as a B-side to the single "Headlights on the Parade". She also sang live with the band on the Channel 4 programme Halfway To Paradise, performing her song "Flying Cowboys".

In 1992, the band worked on Annie Lennox's debut solo album, Diva, and co-wrote the track "The Gift". Lennox later covered "The Downtown Lights" (from the Hats album), for her album, Medusa, released in 1995.
