5496. Thompson Twins - Lies
 |
| From: Quick Step & Side Kick; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave/Synthpop |
It's amazing how some bands you like stay back in the dark recesses of your brain for wot seems like an eternity, but then just come out when you least expect it. To my knowledge I have only chosen one other song from the Thompson Twins, and that was at least 13 years ago, or so it would seem. I don't really know why it's been so long, but you just never know when a band or song will shake loose.
Anyway, this is one of their bigger hits and actually still gets heard today somewhat; mostly on television show's soundtracks and such. The main hook of the song is that keyboard synth bass line and, of course, the simple and repetitive chorus.
