& then there was Nick Kershaw. I really don't care much for any of the Nik Kershaw tunes I found so I just picked one & did it. Ironically this was the hardest of my 6 Fest entries & took me the longest time to learn to play it. This LITLR on the 008, internal mics, in the car.

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Great interpretation of this song bro, and yes, Nik's songs are not simple to cover and the chord changes are all over the place! I always like this song, and had this album :)

I like Nik Kershaw quite a lot, grew up with his tunes. This was definitely a tricky selection but you worked it out fine and the intro was certainly different, caught me out at first. Great job Hook!

This is one of those songs that is hidden in my secret pleasures list.

I remember very well the videoclip, and I was always fascinated with it. The song? Well I find that that recorder annoying, along with lots of the song details... but it was catchy...

I don't know if you read my thoughts, but you deconstructed the song, took the bad parts, and you came up with a version I really enjoy.

Misquoting a frequently used sentence: "I know he original, but now I don't have to!"
