Starlit Night

All seems to be right ...it’s a starlit night

And the crowd is young ...it's laughs all around

But I’m not so good, cos I lost my love

Over a year I’ve been on my own

I've gotta move on ...my old love is gone

 

I worry now ...it won’t be like before

It couldn’t be you ...cos it's second time around

But I still have needs and wants and desires

Over a year I’ve been on my own

I've gotta move on ...my old love is gone

 

Then suddenly we meet ...and it's such a thrill

Somehow it seems ...you're gonna fit the bill

Is it a dream, did I come back to life

After this time and despite the pain

There is a new way ...I know I must stay

 

A new way ...I know I must stay

Our Career
& original song versions

"Our Career" was originally written and recorded in 1983 using the infamous cassette to cassette bouncing technique. There were no sequencers available so it was all played live and overdubbed with each bounce. The main instruments used were a Roland Dr55 drum machine, a Roland Juno 6 polyphonic synth and a Jen SX1000 mono synth. The only "outboard" gear available was a Melos analogue echo. The second incarnation of the song came in 1986 when we started to play live gigs, by that stage we had a better drum machine (Roland TR-707) and a polysynth with memories (Roland Juno 106). The most notable addition at that point was a Roland MC-202 sequencer, which allowed sequenced bass lines (Roland SH2) as well as sequenced lead lines using the inbuilt MC-202 mono synth, all synced with the drum machine. We also had a Casio CZ-101 adding further colour to our sound. Moving to the present version of the song, it was recreated using Logic and various soft synths as well as some of the original equipment. A few "risers" were included to enhance & polish this version and the lyrics were revised, but it is essentially the same song. Have a listen to the various versions ...and see for yourself!
