Another one inspired by 80's melodic synth pop

I'm curious about if this music reminds you of any specific group?

Suggestions & impressions most welcome!

How I made this song:

Wrote lyrics.
I started out with making an 8-bar 707 drum sequence.
With that running in a loop, and lyrics in mind, I experimented with chord sequences and made 8 bars of that.
Recorded a verse of vocals in comp edit - bounced the three best takes to disk, and cleaned up the takes in Adobe Audition, re-imported into Reason. Some places only solo vocals, some places solo + left and right channel panned takes
After that, adding bass and lead melodies and other new parts bit by bit in different parts of the song.
Finally going through the song iteratively, finding the weakest spots, and correcting/deleting parts when determined necessary. Judging content is better the day after it was created to remove the bias/blind spot problem.

The 80's is Alive @ Kicking...
Aha - have been put in a washing machine with O.M.D and this is the result.

Out of my studio traveling at the moment.
Just listened to this once on my iPad speaker .so obviously not the best environment to analyse it better etc
First thoughts; I like it, hopefully I will get another listen through my studio monitors and add my further thoughts.

Keep up the good work...

This sounds great man. Very big sound and high energy. The mix sounds good to me in that it sounds very big but still has distinct parts that can be picked out. As usual you write very nice lyrics that work well in the song. I don't know enough about this kind of music to tell you who it sounds like, but I like it.

Thank's for listening!
O.M.D and Aha, they're both in that 80's brew I grew up with

Thank's for the kind words
Regarding lyrics, I really want to read more English literature to get a better feeling for the language.
But Rhymezone helps

Pick pocket proof musicware you want.
I too was once young and not quite as withered.
Still the musics lives.
I'll see myself out...

I still use Rhymezone sometimes when I get into trouble. No shame in that.

Really like the arrangement and melodies on this! It's all very elaborate but maintains flow wonderfully throughout. Great stuff
