about

Cheersquad Records & Tapes are excited to release 'The Velvet Affair' the next single from power pop maestro Wesley Fuller. It comes with a fabulous clip, celebrating mid-century modern, and Wesley playing all the instruments (a nod to the fact that he wrote, performed and mixed his new album all by himself).

Wesley says:

"Another track from my 2013 "just arrived in Melbourne" pop-sike swag bag. Although this one leaned into Fleetwood Mac territory with stacked harmonies, moody electric piano and a punchy, mid-paced drumbeat. Like "Everything is Strange", I demo'd this song for my band Rolloways, but we never re- recorded it as a band. So I thought I'd give this one another go."

lyrics

Here there, the velvet affair
Dreams are back in style
Fill my heart with hope if only for a little while

Near, far, wherever you are
Please return to me
Let me give you all my love throughout eternity

Let me hear your gentle sigh
Fall together and gaze at the sky
Feel the sunshine and see the love in your eyes

Care, care, I wish you would care
See to a reply
Fill my heart with hope if only for a little while

Near, far, wherever you are
Please return again
Take me for a ride once more and
Let me be your friend

Fall into my yearning arms
Tempt me with your alluring charms
Meet at midnight and make love under the stars

Care, care the velvet affair
