“Dance” is the second track of the third movement – entitled “Crypt” – of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.
III: CRYPT. 1959. Shanty, now a confused teenager, goes to a Church dance in the crypt; he doubts his and God’s existence. Here, Mary Dee materialises – still dreamlike – to him again. Still he cannot see her. As he sings of his vision of the future, Mary Dee breaks the news that his father has died. Shanty is left sad and alone.
