Thomas Dolby - "Radio Silence" (Guitar Version) - A Myleslandia Video Mix by Myles Matisse!

"Such a cool version of "Radio Silence". Faster, more aggressive and with guitar. The music video has Lene Lovich in it. Akiko Yano (wife of Ryuichi Sakamoto) sings the second verse on the album version. You would think it's Lene since she is in the music video but no. Akiko sings it. I decided to re-edit the music video to fit the "Guitar version", making my "Myleslandia Video Mix". I really love the energy of this version and wanted to make a video of it since no one else has. Hope you enjoy it! This is my favorite era of Thomas Dolby. To me, and unbelievably, his debut album was his peak period. Incredible." - Myles

The original version of "Radio Silence" is on Thomas Dolby's debut album, "The Golden Age of Wireless".

RADIO SILENCE Lyrics:
Caroline
Makes the final adjustments
In her rear-view mirror
She's nervous and tense
But she's thinking it over
With logic and sense
She'll overcome her phobia
Oh to paint her eyes so red and her lips so blue
Carve her legend on the bow - Caroline four-five-two
When they come to call for her I will be there too
Observe Radio Silence observe
Radio Silence observe Radio Silence
Maintain Radio Silence throughout

Now where can he be?
What's wrong with the parking meter? What's happening to me?
She'll burst a blood vessel if he doesn't show
She's caught up in traffic
And I am on her radio
Oh to paint her eyes so red and her lips so blue
Raise her likeness on the mast, Caroline four-five-two
When they come to call for her, I will be there too

She tune in till the tune suits her right
She tune in till the dial come alight
She turn the dial till the needle is in the white
Tune in tonight
Tune in tonight
Tune in tonight
Try to think of nothing

Listened to a very clean 83’ LP of Golden Age recently (very first time) and was blown away by this guitar mix on that reissue, I’ll agree this really comes in heavy after the opening track.
