Great collab.  Definitely got this era sound down.  But the originality still shines through.

I thought I'd already heard this and commented..sorry. Glad I found it. ???? Those driving guitars sound great, and you've captured that new wave 80's sound with the music and vocals. Brilliant song.
I have 2 profiles on this site, (NOW COMBINED INTO ONE PROFILE PAGE)
 One is a musical partnership with Keith Allen, ( we record songs as "The Devil's Toupee").
The 2nd one is for my other musical projects and collaborations. (DarrenG)
Thanks for listening.

Ohhh... yes indeed.
Totally in the New Wave zone here gents. Like stepping through a portal to 1983. Beautiful arrangement and those little pick ups of the pace here and there and super cool. Very retro guitar sounds, but they are timeless as well. So cool, top vocals too Kenny.

Love that vocal you put on Kenny. Great shift between the quirky Ric Ocasikesque verses and the soaring chorus. Really nice subtle additions to the arrangement as well, really filling out the track.

Hi guys,
I would like to thank Nigel for letting me in on this track.
He really did a stellar job musically and mixing.
It was great to see the different versions of this popping up and every one was so different.
Thanks to all for the comments its appreciated.

AAARGH!! I'm envious! I want to write songs like these. I NEED THOSE VOCALS. I need this kind of songwriting chops :) It's everything i like about the 80's and yet it's pushing it into new territories. You can really call this a NEW WAVE (instead of it being new wave = old wave going on by the motions). I'm occasionally trying to find forgotten nuggets of 80's new wave / goth rock, and i'm most often left wanting. This really delivers.

Great stuff! I'm gonna keep my ears on these guys.
