Heart of the Sunrise Covers on Youtube

Yes’ “Heart of the Sunrise” covered ridiculously and thoroughly by Chris Squire devotees. That song is really hard to play. For bass lovers everywhere. And BK.

I’m a fan.

I am the shoreline, you are the breaker

It took me thirty-five years, but I now realize that I was born with one true gift: eidetic memory for a terrible/amazing 1981 song by The Sherbs. Maybe “The Skill” was on MTV once when I was a kid. It has been playing in my head every day since.

Check out how the lead singer gets a bar band, Huey Lewis-like growl. Check out how the song is light and poppy à la Hall and Oats. Now put that all together and pump it into my head where it can’t escape. Mission: accomplished.
