Electric Pillow Talk

SYNTHAGEDDON When you consider just how talented Jon Beckett is as a writer, musician and performer, to say that this is his best work by some distance is something that Retrowave fans should take serious note of.

This is the first time I felt a genuine connection from deep within the heart of Beckett as a writer, with his soul and passion carefully woven into the fabric of every track.

It's time for him to make plans for bigger things.

If I listened to this album forever, it wouldn't be long enough! Favorite track: Forever's Never Long Enough.

mr_bob_dobalina Beckett unleashes another batch of lost cuts from the forgotten 80s summer that exists only in your nostalgia.

From the sparkling “20 Years” to the talkbox funk of album standout ”Zapp my Heart” Beckett flexes new muscles.

“Aerobixxx” / "Hot Sauce" keep his classic sound.

Elsewhere, “So Much“ plays like Pet Shop Boys with the arch urbanity switched for the cheekier end of the new romantics.

The closer says it all: “Forever’s Never Long Enough”.
Still, you can always stick it on repeat. Favorite track: Zapp My Heart.

Verse1 It’s been a real long ride, Think of all the fun we’ve had. We compliment each other. And yeah, we never looked back. I feel it’s still beginning, And yeah, there’s more to come, They Never thought we’d get this far, when we were young. The clock ticks at least I got you It won’t Stop - I’m still holding on to yoo-hoo-oo The world spins - another year or two Time skips – I’m holding on to yoo-hoo-oo We started young, they said “you haven’t got a clue” Still young at heart, I guess we did it right?, I Say - Oh eee ooo eee oo Oh ooo eee yeahh Chorus It was 20 years ago when I first held your hand, I remember the excitement, when we first kissed, And in 35 five years or more when both old and grey, I’ll still hold on to your hand, still be proud that I’m your man. It was 20 years ago when I first held your hand, And they say that its still crazy, but we’ve made it. And in 35 five years or more when both old and grey, I’ll be the one to make it right. I’ll still hold you in the night Solo Verse2 I always knew you’re the one More than those hot summer nights. I took a chance, opened up. Now baby, yeah it's always felt right. I spent my youth in a spiral , Crashing hard, over a crush. But then you found me and you were my new rush. The time stops - My first It snaps back - I’m still holding on to yoo-hoo-oo We spin quick - another year or two Time skips – I’m holding on to yoo-hoo-oo We started young, they said “you haven’t got a clue” Still young at heart, I guess we did it right?, I Say - Oh eee ooo eee oo Oh ooo eee yeahheeaah Bridge Chorus

Verse 1 Let's take one idea at a time, I know you like to im-pro-vise Let’s keep this talk, strictly work. I know you like to count it first. Keep it on the downlow. No need to go run off your mouth. Keep it between us. If we get caught 15 to Life! Pre Chorus Let’s not talk about the jobs we did, You never know, whos a-listening Start up the ride, go and tell the kid, Let's get on outta here Chorus I'm not one for Pretty boy attractions I only see that dollar bill (Cash, Money) I only talk that golden deal. It’s just a business lead transaction, You got that one thing that is real (Cash, Money) The only one thing that I’ll deal Verse 2 We cased the joint, it buy us Time. Plan it out. Strategize. The new wheel man, kid from upstate. Split 5 ways? that’s hard to beat! Now we play the waiting, Be ready grap the ViP. Keep it on the down low, Don’t lose your nerve, on count of 3..2…1 Pre Chorus Let’s not talk about the jobs we did, You never know, whos a-listening Start up the ride, go and tell the kid. Let's get on outta here Chorus I’m not one for Pretty boy attractions I only see that dollar bill (Cash, Money) I only talk that golden deal. No one gets hurt that’s my intentions. So don’t take it all to heart, Put your head face down don’t start, It’s just inside job connection, baby yeahhhh Stay quiet, hands on that wall, Cut the wire, unlock that door Hostile takeover, now in action, You got that one thing that is real (Cash, Money) Tell the kid bring round the wheels

Verse 1 Time has come to pass. And this moment, was not meant to last. And this rhythmic heart of mine, Stopped when you walked the line away. Far more times than that, I had wondered, when it went bad? You had to stop and think it through. Listen, I'm still in love with you. Baby Chorus Fly me away now, to another space Time moving slower, we're at a different pace. Hold me while dancing, any time or place. I'm ready, ready to fly with ya, c'mon baby, take me on a jetplane. Fly me away now, start to dream. Take me out dancing, Forever's never long enough. Whisper you love me, any time or space. I'm ready, ready to fly with ya, c'mon baby, take me on a jetplane. Verse 2 You play with my heart, Just like its a game, you can pretend. You think you can take that for free? And you still got your hold over me. I'll never let you know For my love I wonder why you must go, Forever's never long enough. On and on and on and on you keep me holding. I'm ready, ready to fly with ya, c'mon baby, I'm ready to fly with you. Chorus Fly me away now, to another space Time moving slower, we're at a different pace. Hold me while dancing, any time or place. I'm ready, ready to fly with ya, c'mon baby, take me on a jetplane. Fly me away now, start to dream. Take me out dancing, Forever's never long enough. Whisper you love me, any time or space. I'm ready, ready to fly with ya, c'mon baby, take me on a jetplane.

about

The nights are long and too hot to sleep, the want of physical connection and touch are strained over the distance, the voice on the other end of the line captivates and intrigues. In between the line noise and occasional interference, promises and whispers wrapped in pillow talk, make for electric anticipation... and wanting.
