Title: Radar Love, if it were written by Dire Straits
Post by: LaszloB on December 08, 2022, 12:08:43 PM

I figured it was about time I do a song from a Dutch band, since it's where I come from. And what better band to pick than the legendary 'Golden Earring'.

Spent quite some time figuring out how to make it Dire Straits-y, but after adjusting the beat and the tempo a bit I got a pretty cool thing together. It's got some early Dire Straits licks worked in there that I thought worked perfectly for the track.

Let me know what you think of it!  ;D

I really had to dig deep in my childhood memories and Youtube the recall the original. So here it is and I had to smile when I saw the shirt of the drummer😀.
