Lyrics

You've Got Your Finger On The Trigger
Are You Gonna Shoot Me Down?
You Put The Bullet In The Chamber
This Time I'm Gonna Hit The Ground

All I Wanted Was A Lover
Someone Who Could Hold Me Close
Now You've Gone And Found Another
And Blown My Heart Away

Blown My Heart Away
Blown My Heart Away
You've Gone And Blown My Heart Away
Blown My Heart Away
Blown My Heart Away
You've Gone And Blown My Heart Away

Now You've Got Me Where You Want Me
I've Got My Back Against The Wall
You Stand There With A Smokin' Gun
This Time I'm Heading For A Fall

You've Got Your Finger On The Trigger
Are You Gonna Shoot Me Down?

All I Wanted Was A Lover
Someone Who Could Hold Me Close
Now You've Gone And Found Another
And Blown My Heart Away

Blown My Heart Away
Blown My Heart Away
You've Gone And Blown My Heart Away
Blown My Heart Away
Blown My Heart Away
You've Gone And Blown My Heart Away

Song Production Information

good-cool

TAKA requested me to "make a rich 80's euro song, please".
I knew a fair amount of "effective components" such as chord progressions and techniques for creating a song in this genre, so there wasn't a point where I felt particularly anxious, but he unnecessarily requested me to incorporate the word, "rich", to be inputted in this song, so I originally processed this in my head, and tried various ways to search for it.

I went to eat Chinese food and requested for chili shrimp and pepper steak, and finished it off with mixed fried rice and apricot bean tofu, then I went to buy crab, salmon roes, and a keyholder of a bear eating salmon as souvenirs from Hokkaido, then I saw a love drama with each of my food bowls, with dialog such as, "I saw you in your boyfriend's car last night..."
"Boyfriend? Oh, maybe that was my brother?"
So anyways, I tried to experience as much "richness" as I could, including meeting a man giving a wedding speech, "Huh~, three things are essential for a married life".

As a result, maybe I picked up some nuances from that time (I wonder if I really did...) Everyone, please listen to it!! Each part of this song contains TAKA's "rich" request!!
This "rich" manner is almost distinct than anything from those times!!
As an easy to understand example of how much of a "rich" atmosphere is contained, let's say dj TAKA (dj タカ) was replaced by dj YUURIKI (dj 夕力), at first glance, it's impossible to distinguish between four melons!!
If you remain silent, no one will find out about this. However, honestly speaking, the vocalist Jeff couldn't understand this gag at all.
Blown My Heart Away ~~~♪

This Eurobeat song, fully loaded with 80's flavor, is so delicious that those who recognize the genre even if it wasn't labeled "80's" will cry.

Even for those who don't understand it, I think you can clearly find the difference if you listen and compare it to recent Eurobeat music. Next, please try to imagine the era in which this kind of music was played.
Couldn't you see the historical and societal backgrounds from that era?

Unlike rock, I think a very interesting thing about dance music is that you could easily see such things.
