PAT BENETAR

BENETAR, PAT

Pat Benetar was great, so rock and so 80s. Her songs were rocky and good, but the chosen track just stands out and takes you back in an instant.

TRACK SEVEN: Love is a Battlefield
Starts off with that very 80s drum (possibly machine?) and keyboards riff. Then there is the spoken/sung starting lyrics: "We are young, heartache to heartache we stand, no promises, no demands love is a battlefield", then those fabulous strong, woah, woah, woahs. And the forceful "We are strong", her voice is on fire here, yet vulnerable. Had me hooked from the start, but that just keeps you there, determined and rough, cool and rockin'!!! And then there was the dance, come on, you KNOW you know it!!!!
