Open Doors

Those who have watched the Born To Lose movie will know this song from a scene in my kitchen where I am playing a rough almost wordless version of it. The lyric is about a specific experience: a surprise visit from a German friend who fixed my plumbing problems and slept on my floor for a few days. Hey Robin from Rostock, please get in touch!

I think this is one of the two obvious first singles. It’s quite a catchy little popsong with an insisting beat and an irresistable chorus. Originally I thought of it as a Motown kind of song, but it ended up with a sixties punk feel anyway. There’s some ripping fuzz and a wobbly Farfisa playing a memorable theme and some cute backing vocals from Yobo.
