I think I hear a triangle in the mix too.

First triangle in Mark's music after Je Suis Désolé?

By the way, who also thinks that song deserves a fade out?

And how this song is not on YouTube already? :hmm :hmm :hmm

I like it on first listen, nice synths, feels very MK, as expected. "The skin of a mango is smooth, smooth as the devil" - great line.

I love the part around 3'22 where the guitar leads into the sax - wonderful!    :)

After all guys, Paul McCartney signs "I just want to FUH you" nowadays and Sting just recorded a reggae album, so Mark still holds up. Bravo :clap

Yeah.  That's the real thing right there.  A great mix of instruments in this song that add different layers to the music.  Fade out would've been nice though; ends rather abruptly.

I've been listening to this on loop since I downloaded it, stopping only for Antiques Road Trip and dinner! ;D

Dig the song! Very fresh.
As said, the song has a lot of layers which is very interesting. The sax really comes out of nowhere.
I also seem to hear female background singing? Interesting to see the credits later.

A good radio edit might even get MK some notice on the radio!

Interesting is the passage after the words and cockney rebel ... A big contribution from Guy Fletcher with effects
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

I am surprised by this song. Positively. It is completely different from earlier ones. This modern electronics at the beginning. We've heard something similar (Basil) but here the scale is bigger. Mark is in great shape.
I think you're right. Sounds like Mark's strato using Adrenalinn3 just like he used on Basil.
Perfect!!!!!!!

which parts of Basil is the adrenalinn?

This effect gently scrolls the entire song.

The delayed notes in perfect tempo done with the MK signature. I think he used the same on first repetitive notes of Good on you son.

Do I detect a few notes of "Going Home" at 5'13?

In my opinion it's definately MK's song. You can relate to the others and it's always like that with any musician on this planet. They have all their own sound!! So I'm not disappointed.  I like it very much. Would love to know what or whose background it was based on.

You're right. And just before that, there's some notes from another song. I just can't pinpoint which one. Ride Across the River? I don't think they are deliberate references, though.
