about

I did the base (chords, drums, bassline) of this track in 2018 as a possible candidate to work on for my EP. At the start of march 2023 i took it and had this idea to finish it for SOS7. In a state of drunk crysis to come up with some lyrics (as usual), i remembered of a conversation i had ages ago with Thomas Detert, when he told me that as a youngster in the 80s he used to dig Howard Jones songs and he was so into it he was dressing like him, same hairstyle and so on. Of course, this is not the story of Thomas, even if his passion ended up in him becoming a successful music producer. And, basically, that's it. Look forward for my EP when/if it will be released, it will contain some good stuff :).

lyrics

As a young boy, he turned on the radio
And heard a sound that made his heart glow
A voice so pure, a beat so bright
He was amazed of by such delight

Oh, oh oh oh
He wants to be like Howard Jones
Oh, oh oh oh
To feel the beat, inside his bones

He got his keyboard, and started to play
Trying to mime Howard in every single way
He wrote his own songs, with a synthpop flair
And dreamed of the day, he'd be up there

He honed his skills, and worked late
Never stopped striving to make his own fate
He found his own voice, his own unique style
And played with passion, and a blinding smile.

Oh, oh oh oh
He wants to be like Howard Jones
Oh, oh oh oh
To feel the drums, inside his bones

Oh, oh oh oh
He wants to be like Howard Jones
Oh, oh oh oh
To feel the beat, inside his bones

Now on the stage, he stands so tall (yeah)
Feeling the music, his heart enthralled
He's like Howard Jones, in his own way
Living the dream, with every single day.
