Eighth Day is a song from Breaking Glass, the film that starred new wave singer Hazel O'Connor. Hazel wrote the song a mere 12 hours before she recorded it. The song is based, of course, on a the book of Genesis, where God made the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh. In this song, Man remakes the Earth in his own image, and, in Hazel's own words
"having unleashed elements he cannot control, the Man-made Machine Monster takes over".
Sound familiar?
