Tweedlers’ Jukebox Song of the Week – Somewhere in My Heart

Aztec Camera –  Somewhere in My Heart (1988) 

The eighties group with one of the more peculiar names hit their peak in 1988 with the release of this single that reached no.3 in the UK charts. It came from the group’s third album Love (1987) and very much epitomises that title. By 1995 the group had disbanded but lead singer Roddy Frame continued as a solo artist.

Somewhere in My Heart is one of the ultimate eighties’ pop songs. It’s all about love but performed in a somewhat playful manner and is completely upbeat. Many deride the eighties as a ludicrous decade for music but it will always have a distinct charm for me. Seeing what music has degenerated into these last couple of decades where Crazy Frog and Gangnam Style can be adored by millions, I’d much rather take a nostalgic trip and listen to the likes of Aztec Camera.
