We did it in L.A. – written, recorded and mixed in three days, with Tom Lord-Alge. It was done on a Fairlight hired in because ours hadn’t arrived from London.” “The drums were completely sampled on this, with the Fairlight driving banks of AMS’s. It was Phil Collins’ toms, Steve Winwood’s kick and snare– but it was alright ’cause Tom had done his album anyway.” “It came about quite simply because John Hughes was a huge fan of British music. We had been very successful in other parts of the world—particularly Europe—for several years, selling millions of records, but we had been alternative in the United States. So there were people who liked what we were doing. We were asked by John Hughes to write a song for Pretty in Pink. We were really flattered and excited. “So we went down to Paramount Studios; we saw them shooting; and we met Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, and John [Hughes]. They gave us a script and they said, ‘We want a song for the big finale in the prom scene.’ We said, great! We went home and we wrote them a fantastic song. We came back with a 2-inch tape, ready to mix it in L.A. prior to a tour we were going to do. “But John was kind of like, ‘You know what? This is a really good song, but we have tested the film to audiences and they don’t like the ending. So we are going to reshoot the ending with a completely different end. Molly Ringwald is going to end it with Andrew McCarthy’s character now—not Duckie, the Jon Cryer character. So the song doesn’t really make any sense any more. Could you write another one?’ “Holy s**t! We have a single day to write another song? Anyway, that’s what we did. We went into a studio in L.A.; we borrowed any equipment we could get our hands on; and we worked until around 4 in the morning. We did a rush demo; we put it on a cassette; and we sent it in to Paramount Pictures. About 9 o’clock in the morning, we were woken up by our manager saying, ‘John Hughes loves the song! Go back in the studio and finish it!’ “ “The only thing they specified to us was, can the song be at 120 beats per minutes, because we filmed the prom scene using ‘Don’t You Forget About Me’ [from The Breakfast Club] as the song everybody was dancing to. The first time we see the song in the movie, and I mean it goes on for 5 minutes, everybody is totally out of time with the track." “It’s one of those moments you just have to laugh.” Lyrics - If you leave, don't leave now Please don't take my heart away Promise me just one more night Then we'll go our separate ways We've always had time on our sides But now it's fading fast Every second Every moment We've got to, we've gotta make it last I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I needed you then You always said we'd still be friends someday If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day But if you leave, don't look back I'll be running the other way Seven years went under the bridge Like time was standing still Heaven knows what happens now You've got to, you've gotta say you will I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd meet again I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd still be friends I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd meet again someday If you leave If you leave If you leave Don't look back Don't look back #CoverSongs #Instrumentals #Karaoke #Synthesizers #RetroSounds
