Here's a quickie little electro ditty! The vocals are horrible, but let's enjoy regardless :D

What Makes You Happy?

I'm  just a boy
And you're the girl
I'd like to know
What makes you happy?

I'd like to dedicate this moment
For the worlds smallest violin

I'd like to talk about yesterday
We've come so far and far away
We can't turn back the time
Those little things that we left behind

I'm just a boy
And you're the girl
I'd like to know
What makes you happy?

I'd like to dedicate this moment
For the  worlds smallest violin

I'd like to talk about yesterday
We've come so far and far away
We can't turn back the time
Those little things that we left behind

Your love is like an ocean
And i'm lost at sea
Send me a message
Send me a sign

etc.

personally I love the vocals.  I dig them a cubit butt ton!  But the whole song is infectious.  Not sure if it is something healthy though.  I kind of think of dancing dirty in those clubs where the bodies are packed so close on the dance floor that everyone is dancing with everyone and there is a whole lot of grinding going on while some are sucking their pacifiers.... hmmmm...
but the music is great.... I think I am going to sneak this into the playlist at the Y gym.... no one will ever know.  They will think it's an obscure Simple Minds tune or something...
meanwhile I'll be dancing around with a cleaning rag in my hand....
my son was asking me how you get those sounds... my reply was "oh he's a genius on the keyboards." 
I think I am close to correct... wizard of Zoltan....

80's pop? The old prog-punk in me wants to hate this so much, but I can't. It's so well done, catchy, and quite immersive. Like an ocean, one might say. The vocals are wonderful.

That is a lyric in search of a song.

the lyrics are sensitive and soft, and innocent...and then there is the sarcasm.... I d like to dedicate to the worlds smallest violin....ha!

reminds me of that old saying..."this is the worlds smallest violin playing my heart bleeds for you."

Simple minds reference was spot on, nothing wrong with the vocals turn on the Lazer light show and we are set

Perfect 80's vibe here! If I heard this on the radio, I would believe this is authentic stuff from that decade, a fine song and performance, too!

Cool track, Zoltan and those swirling synths sound great. Vocal sounds fine to me and as some have said already, a kind of Simple Minds vibe.
