A Son of the Rock

Forget the big hit Kites, which I believe the band disliked, this was a much better song.

“Looks good. Feels good. Walkin’ down the street. Everyone we meet says, ‘We should.'”

And check out the song below. There’s a touch of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick And Tich‘s Legend of Xanadu about it. I wonder if this is where their songwriters Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley got the idea from. Or perhaps it was the other way around.

I like the way the first line of the chorus is just a full octave descending scale.
