A jangly, wistful alt-rock song recalling the glory days of mid-80's English indie rock bands such as The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cure and The La's. The verses have plenty of sunny, simple electric and acoustic guitars - and the chorus explodes with synth strings and a Johnny Marr-like lead guitar for a cinematic, epic feel. Would be suitable for happy, romantic, and retro scenes.
