LYRICS

80’s Movie by Seven Foot Wave © Michael Berns 2010

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Something with Cusack or the Breakfast Club
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Have my detention with Molly and Judd
Win the K-12 on only one ski
Thanks Curtis Armstrong

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Destroy the Death Star beat a Cobra Kai
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Drink from the Holy Grail and never die
Dr. Jones for adventure
Action goes with Arnold and Sly

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
If I was only smooth as Bob McGraw
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Steal a Ferrari and go to the game
With Cameron, my girl, on a day we're putting Rooney to shame

Or maybe I'll roll like a big shot and buy some good stock from one man Bud Fox
From baseball a phone call
I would have a happy ending from Brewster's spending
I’ll win my bet against the Dukes
One dollar Valentine
Get my car up to eighty-eight before I’m outta time

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
My brother Raymond taking us for a drive
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Say hi like Maverick in an inverted dive
You lost that lovin feeling I crashed and burned the first time

I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Call Peter Venkman he'll be catching your ghost
I think my life should be an 80’s movie
Where Michael Keaton is the juice with the most
Freddy Benson I'll teach you 'bout wines
Gonna show you the ropes

I think my life should be an 80s movie
Have Gabi D'Arc and her sisters around
I think my life should be an 80s movie
To have a teacher I can say is profound
Mr. Keating "Oh Captain My Captain" learning underground

Or maybe, just once I, could have lines Jack Jericho knows, that read
like good prose
From mailrooms to boardrooms on your way like Brantley Foster, but
almost lost her
Until I raise my stereo up there
But only in your eyes

I’ll put my stereo up there
But only in your eyes

I think my life should be an 80’s Movie!

REVIEWS for SEVEN FOOT WAVE

By Michael Facey from stateofemergency.net

Seven Foot Wave are a rock quintet that splendidly combine modern alt-rock with their reggae and ska influences to create a vibrant blend of laid back, mellow grooves. The EP is a hip selection of tracks that are as pure and flowing and as the blue ocean sprawled across the EP's cover. These songs come alive with breezy melodies, smooth vocals and deep percussion that promote the sun-drenched feel specifically endorsed with this free style of music.

Beginning with the rhythm of ska chords, quick drumming and powerfully clear bass lines, you are thrown head first into the bubbly sounds of Seven Foot Wave. 'Now That It's Over' is a powerful break-up song that is passionate as well as gentle. The vocals are cheerful and the added female vocals give the song an extra spontaneity to the group's sound. The addictive feel of this song is not lost throughout the buff verses and fantastic chorus.

'In The Ocean' opens with an annoying telephone conversation that is needless and ruins the opening to which turns out to be a very enjoyable song. The connection to the telephone conversation is obvious but it could have been left out. The songs chorus contains a catchy rhythm and guitar musicianship that is vivid and pushes the song to the boundaries of excellence. The melodic use of the band members chosen instrument are all executed with flair and immense talent. The EP shows clear signs of creativity and thought.

The EP's title track is quite honestly, in a word, brilliant! 'Better Than Sunshine' is one of the liveliest songs on the recording and sparks with a bright energy and presence that a more laidback song like 'Catalina' lacks. While 'Catalina' upholds a tropical flavour with its deep reggae foundations, 'Better Than Sunshine' takes off to give the listener an instant hit of adrenaline based music. The alternative rock seeps through the ska based verses to make this a dirtier song, while still upholding the tantalising zest of the ska based sound Seven Foot Wave deliver so well on this EP.

With a sound that can dart from rock to ska in the change of a verse, Seven Foot Wave have created an EP that is a shining example to many ska bands looking to get noticed. The EP can seem lacking with minor let downs, but they are forgiven with other songs contributing to make this release a real winner.

Standout Tracks: 'Now That It's Over' & 'Better Than Sunshine'

7ft. Wave - Better than Sunshine
by Dawn Sullivan (CD Street)
Lead by singer and tunesmith Michael Berns, Seven Foot Wave really is "Better Than Sunshine" in this EP album debut. Breaking away from the ordinary cookie-cutter pop/rock that has seemingly clogged the radio waves across the United States, Berns is successful in combining several types of alternative rock with island sounds that range from reggae to ska. His keen ear for smooth catchy melodies is also evident as I could almost sing the entire song "Catalina," after hearing it just one time. The rest of the band also shines as songs change keys, move to intricate half-time signatures, and explore varying dynamics.
Can't wait for their next release!
