<… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands that used the name "LOFT" or "The Loft".
1. Loft is an eurodance act from Germany. Loft stands for "Live Our Fathers’ Teaching".
Members are Courtney Dean, St Patrick Williams and Richard Wayne Williams known as Ranking Richie.
Several vocalists were featured like Kim Sanders, Lori Glori, Gina Mohammed and Sandra Steinborn.
Producers were DMP (Michael Eisele and Dietmar Stehle).
Loft released several hits like "Hold On", "Summer Summer", "Love Is Magic", "Mallorca" or "Wake The World" and the albums titled "Wake The World" (1994) and "Future World" (1995).
In 2004, Loft did a come back by remixing "Summer Summer" and one year later, with a new female vocalist called Sue. The new crew recorded the singles "Still No 1" and "Love Can't Be Wrong".
2. The Loft were a short-lived indie rock band founded by Weather Prophets frontman Pete Astor.
Formed in 1980 as The Living Room by Peter Astor (vocals, guitar), Bill Prince (bass), Andy Strickland (guitar) and Dave Morgan (drums), the band changed its name when they discovered a local music venue also called The Living Room. The venue was being run by Alan McGee, with whom The Loft struck up a friendship and played several gigs for. After signing to McGee's fledgling Creation Records label, the debut single "Why Does the Rain?" was issued in 1984. "Up the Hill and Down the Slope" was issued the following year, earning both band and label some critical success.
A national tour as the opening act for The Colourfield was intended to give the band further exposure, but tensions within the band led to a sensational split live onstage of the Hammersmith Palais, on the final date of the tour.
3. LOFT was the project of a North Manchester IDM artist, who released the EPs "Three Settlements Four Ways" and "And Departt From Mono Games". As of 2019 the person behind LOFT discontinued this project and releases under her new name AYA.

Oh, my magpie eyes are hungry for the prize
give me the money and I'll shoot it right between the eyes
my greedy eyes, my beady eyes, they swivel and they stare
thinking of the bright things, I might just get them there
[Chorus]
Please, don't say no
once round the fair
just so I know
please, don't say no
once round the fair
just so I know
Year in and year out,
gypsy lorries go from town to town
ghost trains down country lanes
great big wheels by farmer's field
hollow sounds travel round and round
monied cackles in a lucky town
over the hill and down the slope
to the rattle of the sound of going home
oh, my magpie eyes are hungry for the prize
give me a gun and I'll shoot it right between the eyes
[Chorus]
Stalls with prizes that once meant luxury
tempting but not knowing how old they now seem
and those sad, cheerful journeymen running on their dreams
showing off in the rain in last year's jeans
all year round
gypsy lorries go from town to town
ghost trains down country lanes
great big wheels by farmer's field
hollow sounds travel round and round
monied cackles in a lucky town
over the hill and down the slope
to the rattle of the sound of going home
[Chorus]
Over the hill and down the slope
To rattle, rattle, rattle of going home
hollow sounds go round, round, round
monied, monied cackles in a lucky town
magpie eyes are hungry for the prize
and money, money, money, that's all I like
here I go with a handful of hope
over the hill and down the slope
over the hill and down the slope
the May fair's going down
the May fair's going down
the May fair's going down
over the hill and down the slope
over the hill and down the slope

La conjura de las danzas en pleno apogeo.
Molt bo!!!
@APoxOnNordStream
Bright light Angloamericana English poet meets classic clashing crystal chord chaos. Love it love it love it.
@bliblers
Ani del Rio .... I have been following your channel for a long time. what a cool sound this! I remember inspiral carpets a lot. Thank you
@x.x.7646
Simply brilliant! Thanks
@StephanieJ44
So nice to hear this, thank you!
I Googled it and a couple of live versions came up, but I really wanted to remember the 1985 recorded version.
I know nothing about production, but the production values on this 1985 song are astounding. For something recorded on a low-cost 1985 Glaswegian budget, the production would sound just as good today.
Thank you for sharing this! I love it, listening for the third time in a row! xx
@mana3735
Top guitar riff at 2:40. Love it.
@lehliladevandria5712
Their influence of Anerican 50's Rockabilly music so apparent in their sound.
@theleadshoes
I don't think so at all. This is way too awkward-sounding (in a good way, though).A bit of blues influence, however. Have you heard their other stuff? Zero rockabilly there and maybe that's why I hear none here.
@written12
I hear a couple of licks . And the rhythm at times has a similar drive.
And I’ll tell you, that last guitar solo screams “Robert Quine”, the edgy(and Chuck Berry influenced) guitarist on Blank Generation, an album Pete celebrated in a 33 1/3 book.
@teesman61
Pure excellence.
