This track was written, composed and produced in 2017 as a tribute to the sound of the 1986 album "Heartbeat City" by The Cars.
It has all the typical elements (Linndrum and Jupiter-8 synth sync lead) of the cars of that the time turned up to 11 plus a Mirko Hirsch twist.
lyrics
KISS ME (TILL IT HURTS)
She's dressed in leather
And grabbed my heart by the throat
When we're together
The night's about to explode
And when the sun goes down
Her light begins to swell
And when she comes around
Your luck begins to turn
I want you
I need you
Kiss me till it hurts
I want you
I need you
Kiss me till it hurts
But you kept it going
