The Getaway

Chris de Burgh

Polished 1982 pop rock where maritime myths meet cold war tension. Narrative songwriting delivered through lush synths and driving, progressive percussion.

It's like a book of ghost stories and love letters set to the best synths 1982 had to offer.

A cinematic blend of high-stakes narrative tension and quiet, sentimental intimacy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The urgent, driving synth hook and supernatural backing vocals that propel the chorus of Don't Pay the Ferryman.
The transition from intimate acoustic verses to the sweeping, orchestral heartbreak of Borderline.
The way the drums hit with progressive rock precision during the climax of Liberty.
