The Sound - Heartland (with lyrics)

This is the highly energised and poppiest moment on the record, 'Heartland', performed by UK post-punk band The Sound. Taken from their debut album, 'JEOPARDY' (1980). LISTEN LOUD.

Adrian Borland (RIP) - guitar, vocals. Michael Dudley - drums. Graham Green - bass. Bi Marshall - keyboards.

"Jeopardy has got more spirit, more soul and more downright honesty about it than any other record I've heard this year" - Steve Sutherland, Melody Maker.

Setting out, city in your sight,
You want an overview of the underground,
The pressure's off, so your feelings rise,
You got to hit that peak before they crash back down,
You got to believe in a heartland.

All mixed up in the heartland heat,
A chemistry of commotion and style,
You're thrown in, you've got to lose yourself
Before you find yourself back in exile,
You got to believe in a heartland

Loving these tracks - never heard of The Sound before you started posting their songs, and now I'm trying to hunt down their albums, so cheers. They seem to be highly under-appreciated, which is a shame...

@electricsouperman Indeed they were mate, it's a crying shame that they were. Hunt away pal, they cost me a bloody fortune! ha.
