This week on One Hit Thunder, we’re joined by special guest Mark Popeney of the Nevermind The Music podcast to discuss Naked Eyes and their 1983 hit “Always Something There to Remind Me.” Originally written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, the song found new life in the synth pop era thanks to Naked Eyes’ inventive production and reliance on cutting-edge technology like the Fairlight CMI. Our conversation covers the band’s struggles with live performance, the emotional staying power of a great melody, and the way certain songs seem to cycle back into cultural relevance. This episode looks at a band whose music made a lasting impact, even if their moment on stage didn’t come until much later.
