we call this our Depeche Mode track - the guys from DM inspired this for sure as we're both fans! We loved the early 80's with bands like Eurythmics, PSB's, Japan, Heaven 17, Human League, New Order, Spandau, Yazoo (Yaz in the US) and Trevor Horn.

some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
think back to when Gary Numan wrote and recorded 'Cars' in 1979 and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools... can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll..

Story behind the song
what can we say, we lucked out being children of the 70's and getting all that brilliant music entering into the 80's (mid teens) and being part of that whole synthesizer/new romantic (and/or wave) explosion - so essentially we were spoilt! The early 80's synth scene of which Depeche Mode were formed was such a creative time with production/mixing skills entering a completely new level of sophistication (salute also goes to Vince Clarke from his early days with DM and his pioneering work with Yazoo and Alf Moyet) - we went for that big synth sound on this track for sure! Love you Alf!
Lyrics
People movin' everywhere People aren't the same People havin' crazy thoughts, well They're just playin a game Time to take it all apart now Time to play it back Time to take it up to them and Maybe change tack People losin' everywhere People lost in space People think you're insane, well They won't last this race I was taken by surprise I was taken back I was taken by surprise Such a blindside, oh yeah, yeah So how do you like it so far... How do you like it How do you like it so far How do you like it How do you like it People raging all the time People aren't the same People havin bad thoughts, well They're slowly fallin away Time to take it all apart now Time to play it back Time to change your direction Time to change it back How do you like, yeah, how do you like... How do you like it so far

Oh yeah i like this. What a super groovy track. Has late 80s stamped all over it, which is a good thing.

This is a great track, I can hear the Depeche Mode influence. A perfect radio hit, gets into your head right away, very catchy without being contrived. Excellent on every level!
