Howard Jones

Oh, he's got to do something, hasn't he? Fucking hell.

Albert Jones was barely in the charts

last...

Yeah, they were struggling.

Kershaw and Jones, by this point, their stock was low, wasn't

it? Howard Jones in them all I want? What did he want?

Fair light to publish the operator's manual in Braille.

That would be good, wouldn't it? Both these ones, the Howard Jones one and the Kershaw

You know, and then goes into that real driving chorus.

But yeah, almost like I wanted to even channel some of that like Howard Jones, like this big sustained vocal line in the chorus.

You know

what I mean? Like that kind of like just wide open vocal for that one.

Equating it to Howard Jones is the perfect way to put it because not only was he able to have that long, sustained style of vocal, but when it comes to Howard Jones, especially from a heavier vocal sense, very rarely have we seen vocalists that have that heavier sense have so much internal soul built into their vocal set as well.

and the way that he puts it out there especially when it comes to some sort of emotional tone whether it's that confidence in yourself early that potential emotional agony very few people have been able to hit it the way that he has or in a similar notion of the way that he has so kind of using that as a base in terms of trying to bring that power out here with your style of vocals it makes sense to really see how that power came out especially as we got into the bridge where that cockiness turns to confidence in the tone

right exactly it's like you know, growing up during that time, like kill switch was a big influence on me.

Um, so I, I love the, especially the Howard era, you know? So a lot of the, the melodic, just the big wide open choruses and, and all that.

Top-selling albums in England, Into the Gap, Tons of Twins, Humans, Lib.

You were a Howard Jones fan, I'm guessing.

No. No?

Nah, he's too poppy for me.

So that was, you know who that was?

Howard Jones.

Yeah.

Buddhist.

question.

What is love? Asked Howard Jones and the guys from, what is the one? Not at the Roxbury.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Well, no one is to blame.

Thank you, Howard Jones, for this crazy lyrics.

Because everything else can be civilized.

Are not convinced.

Yeah, you.

Ignore this when I'm trying to take the blame.

When I'm like, Howard Jones' lyric says, no one is to blame for this reason.

Okay, that's enough for now.

You look around and there are all the usual suspects.

songs from The Big Chair, No Jacket Required, and albums from Howard Jones, Kenny Loggins, and Kelly's favorite, The Power Station.

And then you see it.
