Someone alert Jose Gonzalez!
Upon listening to Dear Euphoria, as recommended by the always reliable (but somewhat Nordically biased) rheiner, I came to wondering how songs by the Aussie 'band' Euphoria (later to become AK Soul and Elastic - does anyone else remember 'Caution to the Wind'??) might sound as indie torch ballads.
Imagine these lyrics sung wistfully:
You know I needed to have my say
Don't need no life full of dissarray
This love of ours we can partake
Ain't no such thing as a small heartache
You're the one, it feels so right
I'm lifted to a brand new height
You're the one, it's only you
And this is what I'm gonna do
You're the one, it feels so right
I'm lifted to a brand new height
You're the one, it's only you
And this is what I'm gonna do
I wanna, I wanna love you right
I wanna, I wanna love you right
I wanna, I wanna love you right
I wanna, I wanna love you right
Trouble you know
I'm in too deep
My yearning for your body has just increased
So hold me now, baby, right till the end
Pleasure from the flesh, must be godsend
You're the one, it feels so right
I'm lifted to a brand new height
You're the one, it's only you
And this is what I'm gonna do
You're the one, it feels so right
I'm lifted to a brand new height
You're the one, it's only you
And this is what I'm gonna do
I wanna, I wanna love you right
I wanna, I wanna love you right
I wanna, I wanna love you right
I wanna, I wanna love you right
Yes folks, its a pop song to heartfelt ballad conversion opportunity just waiting for someone brave enough to tackle it. Perhaps I should wack an email off to Bobby Flynn in time for 'Australian Made' night?
Ew. I just used the words 'wack', 'off' and 'Bobby Flynn' in a sentence...

oo-er..
there's just not enough euphoria in this world really, is there... though LYR will eclipse all their other (one and a half) hits, i would prefer to hear "One In a Million" sung in a 1970s variety-show arrangement, à la "Wonderwall".
well you know boy, i aint easily influenced
but your touch leaves me wanting more
now my desire's become- so intensified
oh. oh. so now you're seeing why:
you're everything to me
my heartache remedy
our love is so unshakeable.
mmm-mm.
you're everything to me
i'm ready to believe
you're the one
to do what you do to me....
