Modern English - I Melt With You (Midnight Marty Bootleg Remix)

Details

Description

We're going 80s New Wave with this month's release. Modern English released their second single "I Melt With You" in 1982, two years before I entered this world. I couldn't say the year I first heard this song, but I can say that my first listen gave way to a magic that would never go away. It embodies the 80s with its post-punk British bliss.

The new wave movement received its momentum in the summer of '77. Due to the genre's departure from traditions, a re-birth was taking place. And people were starting to eat it up! Think "My Sharona" by the Knack, Devo, The Talking Heads, and Blondie. I love how Wikipedia reads "new wave vocalists sounded high-pitched, geeky and suburban." Music is always a reflection. It's a mirror of emotions and thoughts of the times the artist is living in. I was too young to see or understand new wave's importance, but nevertheless, I am so happy it happened. Without this movement, I would have never got to hear my all-time favorite, new-wave-influenced band, the Cure. ::drool::

In my experience the 80s, and rolling into the 90s were some of the greatest years of my life. I was young, but it just felt like the world was generally slower and happier. Technology was emerging at a fever-pitch, Nintendo was king, music was boss, fashion was weird, movies were iconic, entertainment was everywhere, in-person relationships mattered, ugh, I miss it so much. Keep in mind, these were my early years and my lens was that of a curly-headed, suburban, well-loved, nerdy little boy. While everything was transitioning for those who were older, I was swimming in a fresh, unadulterated present.

No need to spoil the feelings of this post with our current way of life. Let's embrace the "good old days" and weave it into our present. I can't think of a better way to do so with my skillset than that of a remix. Relax your mind for a moment and journey with me back to 1982 where I melt with you.

Love,

Midnight Marty
