A weird and magical combination of Fade to Grey by Visage with Your Loving Arms by Billie Ray Martin, completely reworked, reconstructed from the ground up. I figured the bassline was some kind of Roland Juno, so replayed it on that, and the strings were for sure the Solina String Ensemble by ARP, so used that, and the solo is an ARP 2600. The drums were from a Roland CR78, and I also used a LINN drum that probably wasn't in the original, but suits the vibe.
lyrics
So many times have I asked you to tell me that I'm your girl
Time after time I have needed a reason just to get inside your world
So many times have I asked you to ask me how it feels to love
And when it's love seems the only conclusion
That I'm guilty of, oh baby, then you
We fade to grey
we fade to grey
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside your arms I'm burning
Put your loving arms around me
And you whisper to me when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside this love I'm yearning
Mmmm...
And sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder
What I am to you
And sometimes I can't stand the way that I'm acting
To be part of the things you do
Often I've asked you for too much of your time
I've been stealing
And when I dream of the fear that you're leaving
Then I reach out, oh baby, then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside your arms I'm burning
Put your loving arms around me
And you whisper to me when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside this love I'm yearning, yearning, yearning
Inside this love I'm yearning...
Oooh, burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside yeah
Burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside
Burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside yeah
Yeah, yeah...
We fade to grey
we fade to grey
Baby then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
(Burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside)
Put your loving arms around me
(Burnin' inside yeah, burnin' inside yeah)
Put your loving arms around me
(Burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin')
