This album was a pleasant surprise... and includes some really great stuff. Standout tracks for me are: The Mirror, I Need A Name, and Still Haunting Me. :)
Love Will Make You Stay (with USA Gold and Sharaya Mikael)
by D/A/D
This is just such a feel good track. The vocals remind me of a cross between Jenny Lewis and a young Stevie Nicks. And the lyrics in the chorus are so fun! Fantastic!
There's some great music here, complete with all the feels. To choose a favourite is always tough for me. I really enjoy The Comeback Kid and Vampires, but Synthetic is just incredibly moving. Only one gripe... where's Bend? (It's arguably one of the best tracks by the band!)
What a fantastic release filled with longing, regret, and love. It was tough for me to pick a favourite... I would've chosen Let's Talk, but I find the Timecop1983/Reflections mix of the song to be superior. So my 2nd pick has to be Goodbye. With "When In Rome's" Clive Farrington on vocals (and who's voice is still superb) how can you go wrong? Looking forward to whatever the future brings for FM-84!
I was in tears when I first heard this song. It's just a stunning piece of work that reminds me of days gone by, lovers I've had, lovers that I miss, and the ones who still have a piece of my heart with them.
The lyric in particular that stings the heart is "We have a wild love, shielding us from the world." That line perfectly sums up that beautiful first love feeling that can never really be duplicated.
The vocal is so on point here - almost reminiscent of Joe Elliott from Def Leppard. The slow building synth at the start really sets the tone for what's soon to be said in the lyrics. The song has succeeded in making me cry nearly every time I've listened to it. Reminds me of my family, the 1980s, and the divorce I went through. Thank you timecop1983 & Josh Dally for such a beautiful track!
One of the best albums of 2012, and still a favourite of mine to revisit. This band is severely underrated and it was VERY hard to pick a best track. Labor of Love, No Power Great Enough, The Miracle In You, Melody Ave, and Lifeline are my faves.
