Back in 1985, Corey Hart was hot off the success of his #1 hit Sunglasses At Night, and he recorded the followup hit Never Surrender. A lot has happened to him and the World since then, so he decided to give the pop ballad a soulful modern update.
He explained why he chose to do this. “Aspirational dreams of youth coupled with naive, unaffected simplicity led me to write a song called ‘Never Surrender’ some 35 years ago.
“Today as I gaze out onto the uncertain sea of change, I’m reminded of the kind, resilient people in our world who keep moving forward with steely determination and steady stride – that yes indeed, ‘just a little more time is all we’re asking for’.”
Since he is a little older, his voice has also matured over time, giving it more of a raspy sound. That makes the single even more haunting and beautiful.
