Nik Kershaw Lyrics

Wouldn't It Be Good – Nik Kershaw

This is one of my favourite songs ever. I was and still am profoundly touched by this masterful composition. The lyrics have on occasion moved me to tears and the melody is so unique in its “Simple Complexity.”

Nik Kershaw is a profoundly prolific and prodigious song writer. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Nik got screwed over by the Press who pigeon holed him as a Pre-Teen, Teeny Bopper POP IDOL. Highly unjustified in my opinion. His melodic progressions and complex yet beautifully rendered melodies were absolutely astounding and thought provoking. I have often called him the Mozart of Pop/Rock.

Back in the late 90′s, I was working with a singer named Brian McDonald from Scotland and sent some of the songs I wrote with Brian to Nik’s manager at the time. If my memory serves me well, I think his name was Mickey. Nik was interested in producing Brian if we used one or two of Nik’s songs on the album. Unfortunately Brian’s ego got the better of him and refused. Bad move Brian. Oh… And then there was the Peter Murray , classic record label horror story that I won’t get in to here. I will perhaps in my memoirs.
