” I woke from a dream and sang this melody into my phone. As a huge fan of mid 70s Bowie, I wanted to capture the guitar based grooves when disco started to infiltrate rock ‘n’ roll. As in those times the band is organic, drums are live and the musicianship is impeccable. There’s even a nod to David Sanborn’s wah wah sax on Young Americans.
I kept the vocal raw with a minimum of overdubs to for intensity. Lyrically I sought to capture the naive excitement of two newcomers to NYC nightlife sharing in promise of the cultural riches of the big city. Where the power of the moment meets the promise of glamour and fame.”
