This started out just playing with Z32a+2.1 and then before long I created my first dance song.  I just saw the Moody Blues in concert and this has just a taste of them along with maybe Depeche Mode or A-ha influence.  
 
Not sure because I don't usually write in this genre but it was fun.  I added the rock guitars 'cause that's what I heard in my head.  
 
All comments welcome.

your voice and the rock guitars suit well with the electro outfit! but I have to say, this is not really a dance song, but more of a pop song with heavy eighties influences, so your depeche mode / a-ha influences seem to be right. This is even reminding me a bit of John Parrs St. Elmo's Fire. So bring back the good times!

John - thanks for the listen and nice comment.  
 
Tom - Much thanks for the comments.  I called it dance for the sequencer and looped drum samples with a "4 on the floor" kick pattern.  It then departs from there so I don't mind whatever it should be called.  Thanks for compliments.  
 
Best to all,

Definitely brings back memories of Depeche Mode.  Except for the American accent. ;)  Drums and bass are definitely "dancy", but the lyrics and vocals are more "ballady".  Regardless, very nicely done Jimmy!

I really like this Jimmy - it has a New Order vibe for me with the geetars.
Only crit would be to back off the reverb on the vocal - it gets a bit muddy in a couple of spots

Much thanks Walt!  How was the low end/high end balance?
