Hey guys!
Here's our acoustic cover of King Of Wishful Thinking by Go West - it's one of the most enduring songs of it's era, and not many people realise it was actually released in 1990. You can absolutely sense the production and fashion of the preceeding decade in the DNA of the original, and indeed we often think of this as an 80s song, which is really confusing.

When we sat down to arrange this absolute classic for just two instruments, it quickly became apparrent, at least for us, that the most iconic parts of the original are the synth brass stabs and rhythmic keyboard elements, so we decided to try and nail these with the ukulele. We think it sort of works, but we'll let you be the judge.

This is one of the most fun and engaging songs we've ever covered, so we really hope you enjoy it. If so, you can support us by buying the track - or the full album on which it lives - from our bandcamp page (It's the link right at the top of this description).
If that's not your thing, please consider leaving a like and a comment - it really helps to wake up the YT algorithm and show our work to a wider audience.

Thanks for watching and have an awesome rest of your day :)

Mat & Soph xx
