It's not often these days I fall in love with a song the first time I hear it on the radio. I'm far more likely to discover new tunes online. Credit then to Radio 2's Bob Harris for turning me on to the latest single by The Enemy, a band I could take or leave up till now.
Sing When You're In Love isn't the most original song you'll ever hear - in fact, it's greatest strength seems to be how many old classics spring to mind every time I hear it - from Bruce Springsteen to Shed Seven to the Boomtown Rats. Mostly I think it's a cross between Drugstore's Say Hello and Bob Seger's The Fire Inside. Which is probably as bizarre a combination as you can get.
You might listen to it and hear something else entirely. But I bet it reminds you of something...

Yep, Boomtown Rats and a little of every good 80s pop band there ever was, haha I can totally see myself (and you) singing along to that in the car, windows down, top of my lungs, not caring who heard me. Thanks :)

It's Heroes I'm hearing. It's a great song though, not what I was expecting.
Although it's probably no surprise that I would like a song with a Mod themed video...
That is fantastic, and just suits how I'm feeling this morning--but with a positive sorta spin. Thanks!
And did you hear Spector got 19 to life?
See, one of the best things about your blog is that I can toddle over here and almost always find out about a book or hear some band that I'd not hear any other place! Thanks, and i like that song. Can I be in the car too (a Tart/s comment refers)
Thanks, Tart - glad to be of service.
Simon - Heroes? Hmm. I think I know what you mean.
Christine - yeah, it's sad... but hardly unjust.
Sag - thanks, the car's getting full. But can you all afford to taxi fare?
