Howard Jones

My all-synth (36) version of the 1984 hit.

I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Oh Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear, whoa
This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains
Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

heyo, this is hopefully the last time I ever touch my track Heart Attack, which I first posted alllllll the way back in April of 2017. The second version was released on Feb 14 2019 and now, 5 years later, here we are!

Heart Attack III was made in UltraBox, a modification of BeepBox. It was first started in 2022 and only finalized a few days before upload. Ultrabox (and BeepBox) are browser-based music programs and so if you click through this link (pastelink.net/644j1vmo) you can find the source music file and poke around to your heart's content.

The album art was made in Aseprite (pixel art portion) and paint .NET (adding the hospital jpeg in the background), and visuals were made in corrscope (github.com/corrscope/corrscope) if you wish to view the YouTube version!

My all-synth version of the all-synth 1983 release. One of many teen-angst songs of the early 80's.

My all-synth Gadget version of the 1983 hit.

I don't want to be hip and cool
I don't want to play by the rules 
Not under the thumb of the cynical few

New Song (Nova Version) (Howard Jones cover)

My all-synth Gadgetised version of the 1986 hit. Phil Collins and Hugh Padgham produced the single, not the album version. There have been several versions of this song, mine's a bit of a few of them with my own synth sensibilities thrown in. The intro was a collaboration with Señor Coconut (just kidding!).

And you want her, and she wants you
We want everyone
And you want her and she wants you
No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

No One is to Blame (Light Clock Version) (Howard Jones cover)

I decided to make a track using only the free LABS instruments from SpitfireAudio - so I picked the classic "Souvenir" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and made my own cover version. Enjoy!
I used the following LABS instruments:
- Scary Strings
- Strings
- Strings 2
- Amp Cello Quartet
- Choir
- Dulcimer
- Granular piano
- Chiffons piano
- Moon guitar
- Hand bells
plus a few percussion extras from Garageband!

I make obnoxious synth covers of previously fine songs. All done with Korg Gadget.
