The Secret Chord - Take Me Home Tonight

New Retro Wave + The Secret Chord Take Me Home Tonight

Lyrics:
The summer’s over and I still don’t know what to do
I’ve spent the last four years trying to forget about you
My friends saw you at the mall, they say that you’re
back in town
I’ve gone from MIT to work at Suncoast Video
My dad gave me the summer to figure things out but now
I’m even more lost than I was before

Are you coming to the party tonight?
I need to know ‘cause I’ve been waiting for you all my life
The night is warm and my feelings run wild
I want skin on skin, want you to take me home tonight

Tonight I’ll have my chance and we’re getting ready to move
I never asked you out back when we were in high school.
I was so scared thinking I’d end up looking like a fool
Now here we are at this party tonight

Everyone wants you but I’ve been waiting for you all my life
The night is warm and my feelings run wild
‘cause I want skin on skin, want you to take me home tonight
Then you spot me waiting for you across the patio
The night is young but my feelings run wild
I want skin on skin, want you to take me home tonight

I can’t believe that I’m yours tonight
Now you know that I’ve been waiting for you all my life
The night is warm and my feelings run wild
I want skin on skin, want you to take me home tonight
You’re with me and I’m having the best night of my life
The night is young but my feelings run wild
I want skin on skin, want you to take me home tonight.

Oh I love The Secret Chord. Fermi Paradox was my favorite and now this. It's beautiful and wistful at the same time.

Excellent pop song! Excellent synthesizers waves. This is brings 80s so alot, as a music wave. Synthesizers, good songs. RetroWave excellent music. Best pop music ever. Thousand times better than a Lady Gaga videos.

"Surfing the Rings of Saturn“ is The Secret Chord’s most epic song, nothing can touch this one, period!💯🔥

[Veeroos]

I really like the theme of this album, and as a Pole, I enjoyed listening to the song "Polonia".

[takenlotodo]

With a saxo instead of the guitar this would be awesome, it needs some the midnight remix vibe

[paulbadman]

I feel like The Secret Chord is a next big thing in Synthwave.

[justinperry]

This song totally is about the movie Take Me Home Tonight. Love it.

[stevenothanks]

i like that new intro bro
yea, i am cat calling you.

[SuspendedthYT]

New album is top notch. Good mix of synth and new wave-esque guitar. Quite a bit of 80s geo-political themes in the lyrics as well.

[dennysoliveirasilva]

Me and her, on that summer Sunday afternoon. Walking around, enjoying each other. Today we are no longer together. If we ever were. My heart will always be yours.

[ElectricOutcast]

Album has a special appearance by Nina Blair (NINA)
