It happened in the back of a taxi, whizzing through the streets of Amsterdam in the middle of the night. I was drunk on the warm summer, the good company, and a bottle of amazing red. In other words, I was in just the right kind of mood to be charmed by this lovable 80s jam, with its sincere melancholy making for the perfect soundtrack to your life.
It starts off gently, so it took a moment before I realized what was playing in the taxi. Honestly, I was afraid to look at social media for a while there. I am sure neither of our bands expected THIS to happen! Only members can comment. Become a member. Already a member?
