New track "Montague & Capulet". Let me know what you think. Just press the speaker icon.

I like it very much. The title obviously alludes to Shakespeare, but that line about different prayers made me think it was about inter-faith romance... Is there a story behind it, lyrically speaking?

Yes, you're right. In fact the ending of the song suggests a less than happy ending.

Very good again. However, IMHO this song would benefit from a middle eight without the thumping synths. Sort of a breather.

(And now you've evolved to a level where you can tackle an absolutely positive love song! In every which way!!!)

as someone who also likes to record songs the musician in me gets annoyed when I hear tunes by you as I see how messy and sloppy my songs seem after I hear yours then play mine.

its like every synth hit is in a proper place.theres no rough edges.
you guys do seem to have your own sound now. I'm convinced I would know one of your tracks if I wasnt told.

anyways love that If there’s a wall between us
Let’s hit it with a wrecking ball part. especialy how lush holds the wall line.

Don't worry. That's how I feel when I hear songs by other people as well.

I was going to say the exact same thing. I so often hear songs by other artists thinking, "why can't we do something like that?"
"Unprofessional? Us? Sir. Might I with due respect remind you that Mister Vandemar and myself burned down the City of Troy? We brought the Black Plague to Flanders. We have assassinated a dozen kings, five popes, half a hundred heroes and two accredited gods. Our last commission before this was the torturing to death of an entire monastery in sixteenth century Tuscany. We are utterly professional." - Mr Croup

Hi BS and Lush! Back again after a long time.. I'm glad you've kept on making music, I like this like I've liked many of your older songs.. I agree with glennjridge about it needing something extra.
