Masamichi Sugi -- Catch Your Way

 

A couple of weeks ago, I featured Norwegian singer-songwriter Ole Børud and his scintillating bring-back of good old-fashioned AOR via his 2023 "Find a Way".

Well, it looks like I've found another AOR song of encouragement from decades back which has a similarly-themed title. Masamichi Sugi's（杉真理）"Catch Your Way" is his third single from October 1980 and a track from his May 1982 album "Overlap" and with him taking care of words and music while Nobuyuki Shimizu（清水信之）was the arranger, the song has that familiar jaunty 70s/80s West Coast beat. Sugi is exhorting someone to get out of their post-romance funk and get on that horse again for better days.

I've gotta say, though, that the cover for "Overlap" is intriguing. Placing a red sports car in front of a thermoelectric plant by a river must mean something. I'm taking opinions.😕
