CMB One wonders if, when composing the original melody, Decker and Rogers could possibly have known that they had created something that would be ideally suited for a genre that wouldn’t exist for another 20+ years. And that begs what other similar treasures from the era might be mined thus. Favorite track: China in Your Hand.

david_86 [phoan] The song was a huge hit in 1987, topping the charts in several countries and becoming an anthem. It serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of chasing our ambitions without considering their impact on ourselves and others. By covering this track, Gunship has taken another step forward into the realm of synthwave!

Falcom Another fantastic cover that warps us beyond light speed straight back to 1987. Favorite track: China in Your Hand.

💂This is an important track to us Brits. We hope this brings some warmth to your day. We had a lot of fun putting this together, and G’damn Timmy nailed that sax solo!
Original song written by Carol Decker & Ron Rodgers of T’Pau

lyrics

It was a theme she had on a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on Earth to the second birth
And the man was in command

It was a flight on the wings of a young girl’s dreams
That flew too far away

Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have set upon yourself
China in your hand

Come from greed never born of the seed
Took life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide like a child in the form of a man
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind

Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have set upon yourself
China in your hand

Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have set upon yourself

We just shouldn’t push too hard no no

Don't push too far your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have set upon yourself
China in your hand
