from the forthcoming album Dream Team set for release in January 2023.

Classic Soul, Gospel and Psychedelia.

​It kicks off with a soulful,gospel inspired sing along refrain with powerful and melodic female vocals. The drums and bass brings to mind the classic soul from Martha & the Vandellas, The Flirtations and The Supremes. There's a playful tambourine to keep your feet on the floor.

On the second refrain Spring Vibes bring out their spiky,fuzzed up rhythm guitars.

Together with the gospel like vocals the song soars and rises like a classic T Rex song from the seventies. There's a psychedelic bridge with dream-like vocals and mellotron that calm things down

before a long build-up of the third refrain.
Starting with only choir, tambourine & bass for a couple of bars before it lifts off when the main vocals enter along with drums and guitars

in what must be one of the most joyous seconds of music released in 2022.

The extended outro after the last refrain is reminiscent of The Beatles experimental period of 1967 and early Pink Floyd singles.

It's ambient,chill-out,atmospheric and psychedelic. With warm samples of mellotron sounds both backwards and forwards combined with the astral sounds of an omnichord.
Lyrically it references Keegan's time as a player with Liverpool and Hamburg.

As well as being one of the first football players to be worshiped by young fans and media like a pop star. The refrain is inspired by his famous qoute «I will love it, if we beat them» as a Newcastle manager directed at Manchester United as well as his nickname «the mighty mouse».

«I think it's nice that the music is inspired the Beatles and sixties soul music since it has a connection with both Hamburg and Liverpool.» - says Spring Vibes songwriter Goran Conradsen.
