Messages

The story behind

A Flock of Seagulls released Messages in 1982, a song that got stuck in people's heads. The song has that soft voice, as if singing by the edge of the sea, with a rhythm that makes you move your head without wanting to. The lyrics talk about messages that don't arrive, about waiting for something that doesn't happen, and about that feeling of being alone in a place that isn't yours. It's strange how a song that seems so simple can make you feel so deeply inside. The band recorded it in a studio, with that sound that reminds you of the 80s, with instruments that don't sound like today's. Messages isn't just a song, it's a feeling that stays.
