Some songs feel like they were designed to roll the clock backward.
The first guitar hits on “Your Love” and suddenly it’s late-night radio, the windows are cracked just enough for the warm air, and the world feels bigger than the little town you’re driving through. Bright, chiming guitars. Drums that never quite sit still. And Tony Lewis’s voice — high, urgent, and a little bit broken — pushing the whole thing forward.
It’s pure 80s magic:
big emotion, zero irony, and a chorus you can’t help but sing like your heart’s on the line.
And yeah… “Josie’s on a vacation far away,” but the real hook is that feeling the 80s captured so well — wanting something, knowing better, and turning it up anyway.
🎤 80s Trivia:
“Your Love” was recorded in just a few takes — and The Outfield weren’t actually from the U.S. at all. They were a British band from London who somehow nailed that American radio sound so perfectly that most people assumed they were from the States.
Some songs fade.
This one just keeps looping — from car stereos to playlists to that part of your brain labeled “don’t skip this.”
This is Rock of the 80’s signing off for tonight — not sad, exactly… just remembering.
And remembering sounds pretty damn good.
