MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “We’re Alive” by Kris Ryder… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ2XeA-0gPE …Like a day at the beach in Kokomo, this song is about a man who runs into an old girlfriend after she’s been down a sad road, but now they’re together and glad to be alive! Chris Andrews a.k.a. Kris Ryder presents this upbeat reggae-fied Motown-ish New Wave power pop/synthpop anthem—with fab guitar work by guitarist Phil Palmer (Eric Clapton, David Essex, Dire Straits, Wishbone Ash) + big harmonies by Kris with Dominic Bugatti and Frank Musker (who co-wrote Queen’s “Too Much Love Will Kill You”). This track was produced by Christopher Neil (A-ha, Sheena Easton). On a cosmic jukebox this song would play somewhere between The Beach Boys, The Buggles, and Men at Work.

SONG OF THE WEEK! “Born Lover” by Kris Ryder a.k.a. Chris Andrews https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/born-lover …This late 70s New Wave “blue-eyed soul” song urges the natural-born instinct to love, with a groove that feels like a prequel to “Beat It” (Michael Jackson) and “Easy Lover” (Philip Bailey & Phil Collins). “Born Lover” features sizzling guitar by Phil Palmer (Dire Straits) “dueling” with synthesizer by Billy Lyall (Alan Parsons, Pilot). On a cosmic jukebox it would place near Level 42 and Boz Scaggs. https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/born-lover
If this is your introduction to Chris Andrews, he’s a British singer-songwriter and recording artist whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees). Under the name Tim Andrews he was a champion of late 60s psychedelic pop and (later), as Kris Ryder, he released New Wave synthpop sides in the 80s. Chris was also part of the seminal freakbeat band Fleur de Lys.

"Maybe you will, if you aren't trampled to death first, or eaten alive, or die of starvation. Wait till the Antarctic night comes and for nine months the black air hangs round you like a rotten rag, and your eyes are blinded from the dark and from your own sweat. And you lose each other, and you're alone! Alone, do you hear me? Always alone."
