Here's one you might like...in the style of Bacharach.

Thanks so much. I think I heard this song from back in the days when i use to frequent the boards but wasn't a member. Its's cool to hear that Bacharach style of production with 80's instrumentation. That orchestra sweeps at 1:33 and 2:32 is disgustingly beautiful.
On another note I just realized they are the same group that sings Breakout. I use to hear that song playing as a little kid when my dad used to drive me home from school.

I like this board but at times it is really dead. My apologies if that applies to anyone literally.
