I posted a few Naked Eyes songs earlier this year (http://www.musicbanter.com/pop/48128...ml#post1016025). Tonight I was listening to some more that take me back to the '80s.

None of their original songs are as good as their cover of "Always Something There To Remind Me," in my opinion. However, the slightly melancholy, all-is-not-well feeling of many of them appealed to me then. For example:

Naked Eyes - "Burning Bridges"
I like these lines: "Burning bridges as you pass, you find yourself alone at last. All your enemies are conquered. Is your life the one you wanted?"



Naked Eyes - "Emotion in Motion"



Naked Eyes - "A Very Hard Act To Follow"



I also liked:

Naked Eyes - "The Time is Now"
A pretty song with fun, quirky elements.
