New Wave Song of the Day - A Little Respect - Erasure

I try to discover

A little something to make me sweeter

Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart

I'm so in love with you

I'll be forever blue

That you give me no reason

Why you're making me work so hard

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling

Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Here's a favorite for Easter Sunday by one of the most enduring bands to come out of the new wave era.  Erasure, a duo consisting of singer/songwriter Andy Bell and keyboardist Vince Clarke, first broke onto the scene in 1985 with their debut set, Wonderland, and they've never looked back.  With a string of hits in the late 80's and beyond, these two have been making beautiful music together for 30-plus years now.  Here's one of my favorites, an anthemic and beautifully written song with catchy lyrics and an awesome melody.  Check out A Little Respect and here's wishing a Happy Easter to all who celebrate...

And if I should falter

Would you open your arms out to me

We can make love not war

And live at peace in our hearts

I'm so in love with you

I'll be forever blue

What religion or reason

Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling

Oh baby please give a little respect to me
