Kim Wilde - You Came [80s Power Pop Mix]

by Anders Enger Jensen

/
1.
Someone I know is staring at me And when I look into her eyes I see a girl that I used to be I hardly recognise Cos in the space of a year I've watched the old me disappear All of the things I once held precious Just don't mean anything anymore Cos suddenly You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I've never felt good with permanent things Now I don't want anything to change You can't imagine the joy you bring My life won't be the same And I'll be there when you call I'll pick you up if you should fall Cos I have never felt such inspiration Nobody else ever gave me more because You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I watch you sleep in the still of the night You look so pretty when you dream So many people just go through life Holding back, they don't say what they mean But it's easy for me Since you came No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place

about

After making that little shorts video with all the first chords played on 55 synthesizers, I finally had time and energy to tackle the full song and video. Here is Kim Wilde's You Came, beefed and dressed up in all sorts of pastels and wonderful glory the 80s could muster!

Kim (and her team) already did a bang up job with the original, so it was daunting to even start doing something with this song, but I hopefully added some extra flair and oompf while paying respect to the original craftmanship.

It's actually a significant use of reFX Nexus4 and their FM, 80s and 90s expansion packs, but also a lot of Yamaha TX816 (Full DX Glory!), Ensoniq, Roland, Korg and Alesis synths all the way. I used the original album version (or maybe the Shep Pettibone US Radio Edit, hard to tell after all this time as the original files I downloaded were changed) as stems for the vocals, using Vocalremovers.org to separate the files. A little touch up and polishing to remove as much as the artefacts from this process and fattening up the choruses were done, but obviously having the original master recordings would have been best.
