I didn't listen to it because when I clicked the link, it said I had to sign up for a free trial, which is often a red flag for me. But now that others have checked it out, I'm feeling peer pressure. Tell me that I don't have to provide credit card info and I'll give it a listen!
That was awesome, thanks!
That tune was Nik's only Top 40 hit in the US, although I understand he had several hits in Europe. Here in America, the record label was trying to push it so hard that they stuck it on his second album (The Riddle) as well as his first (Human Racing). It still didn't fly and Nik's albums became import only here. I wasn't even aware that he was still making albums until a bass player friend turned me on to the next two ("Radio Musicola" and "The Works"), a few years after the latter had been released.
My favorite thing about "Wouldn't it be Good" is that he sings the verse over the last chorus section and it works even though it's over a whole different chord progression. Kershaw is a clever guy!
