Mirror mirror mon amour

If I was to tell you how I feel
That my love was silent that my heart was real
I've been looking at you you've been looking at me
And I want you to know that I like what I see

[Chorus]
Mirror mirror mon amour
Send me what I'm waiting for
Pick me up an image so fine so fine
Mirror mirror mon amour
Give me what I'm waiting for
Set my heart on making you mine

In a moments anger I will freeze the frame
But my feelings for ya how they will remain
I've been looking at you you've been looking at me
And I want you to know that I like what I see

[Chorus]

My mirror always echoes
My mirror always echoes
My mirror always echoes
Mirror mirror mirror mirror mirror
Only in my mirror

[Chorus]

Mirror mirror mon amour is in my head
Mirror mirror mon amour is in my head
Mirror mirror mon amour is in my head
Mirror mirror mon amour is in my head
So fine

My mirror always echoes (echoes)
My mirror always echoes (echoes)




So fine
Mirror mirror mon amour (mon amour mon amour

Compared with.

In no particular order

The human league Don't you want me
Jon and vangelis I'll find my way home
Duran duran My own way
Kool and the gang Get down on it
Soft cell bedsitter
Adam ant ant rap
Toyah good morning universe
Altered images I could be happy
Imagination flashback
Abba one of us
Rod stewart young turks
Foriegner waiting for a girl like you
Bucks fizz land of make believe
Meat loaf and cher dead ringer for love
Earth wind and fire lets groove
Elo ticket to the moon
Phil lynott totp theme yellow pearl
Depeche mode just can't get enough
Kraftwerk the model
Daryll hall john oates i can't go for that (no can do)
the mobiles drowning in berlin
Shakatak easier said than done
Alton edwards i just wanna spend some time with you
modern romance ay ay ay ay moosey
Cliff richards daddies home

That kind of comparison and competition.

Joe was early 1981 by late 1981 in the uk, production technique by producers and artists changed greatly as technology musically progressed to A significantly better state audibly, the end of 81 shook of the 70's, so polished pop made with the aid of new computer and electronic and newer digital and analogue tech really made an impact by dec 81.

Dollar were not charting against joe dolces jan 81 hit ultravox's Vienna was and john lennonbs woman were.Mid to late
1981 was a time of astounding chanbe you'd never have heard a track like dollars mirror mirror with that level of production until late summer onwards it was all a work in progress, that song used the fairlight IIx upgrade the xylaphone sample bass guitar pluck sample and some thereza vocals leading to the reverse reverb effect were al sampling techniques, the fairlight first appeard summer of 79 but the ppg wave used on mirror mirror only appeared late september 1981 after its release it features on other dollar songs.

Dollar had an enormous amount of competition, mirror mirror charted for an amazing 17 weeks selling over a million copies in spread out sales during yhag period.
It was a Remarkable sparkly piece of music that deserved the success it had.

Joe dolce on the other hand did'nt deserve the success early that yr because ye was poor novelty crap with NO style dollar did have style in spades it has to said.

So thats ehat it was compared to, the changing times at that time.

We had great fun recoding this track with the legendary Trevor Horn... :)

@redcropuk

The sheer volume of talent and brilliant music in the 70s and 80s didn’t always leave room for everyone to get the full recognition they truly deserved so people made their own lists of faves. Mine always included Dollar even though I was also into punk 😀
Of course NOW in this vapid music wasteland of techno hell computers and R2D2 communication phone messages we must surely all be able to appreciate how musically spoilt we all were in the past.
Dollar were a GREAT GREAT pop duo with a ton of good songs and Hand Held in Black in Black, Mirror Mirror and Who Were You With in the Moonlight remain to this day some of the really GREAT tracks of the early 80s and late 70s.
