about

This song was also never officially released on an album, but it was released as a single on MP3.com. I was told it was the "epitome of the perfect synthpop song" by several reviewers. I wanted to give this song a major face lift and bring it up to more modern synthpop sounds. The song is more of a "secular" song in that it's about a relationship between a man and a woman, but God created romance, and there is nothing impure about it if done in the God intended.

lyrics

Can I

There was always something about you
That is why I am continually drawn to you
You send tingling into my heart
You sent me reeling from the start
With you I want to spend all of my time
Because you bring the rhythm to my rhyme

(Chorus)
Can I unfasten the clasp of your necklace?
Can I whisper to you until we embrace?
Can I look so deep into your tender eyes?
Can I sit with you under the starry skies?

I can’t explain the allure of your smile
To be with you I would walk more than five hundred miles
Your pure beauty has me so spellbound
It is hard to keep my feet on the ground
Your tenderness is more than I deserve
Everyday it is you I pledge to love and serve

(Chorus 4x)

Monochrome
by Scandroid

This album has some serious 80's love going on and is a side project of Klayton, the genius behind Celldweller and Circle Of Dust. Midiboy

In Scarlet & Vile (Special Edition)
by The Echoing Green

This is one of the first synthpop bands I ever got into, and this album is by far their best album and among my favorite synthpop albums of all time. Highly recommend this one! Midiboy

Alpha and Omega (1999)
by Azimuth A.D.

This album right here....so good. It has a 70s vibe to it and yet has a slight electronic folk sound as well, but yet also modern. I love the singer's voice. She's so easy to listen to! Midiboy

Fans of hard rock I think will really appreciate this album. It has a familiar sound that one would swore they've heard while listening to the radio. But yet the message and the presentation I would argue are unique. I also love the renditions of "Agnus Dei" and "Turn your eyes." The arrangements are beautiful. Some parts of this album even gave me some "Phil Collins" vibes. This album does not shy away from its Gospel message which I do respect. I highly recommend giving it a listen! josiah05
