    "A 10-song, radio-friendly batch of hit-single-worthy tracks... Radiophonic Supersonic is a triumphant winner."
    -- Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio

    "Detroit’s Dave Caruso creates such pretty pop songs on his recent album, Radiophonic Supersonic, reminding me of 10cc mixed with more than a little Macca. The Drop perfectly captures his careful attention to song arrangements, juxtaposing some crunchy rhythm guitar with low key sweet vocals."
    --Dennis Pilon / Poprock Record - Songs With a Hook

    "Although it didn’t arrive until early December, Radiophonic Supersonic still made a number of 2020 best power pop album lists. If I had compiled such a list, it might well have cracked my top 25 — a notable achievement in what was a strong year for the power pop genre."
    -- Alan Sculley / The Morning Call

lyrics

The Drop
Words & Music (c) 2020 by Dave Caruso

Piece o’ cake staying happy in the honeymoon phase
The tricky bit is sticking with it when the stakes are raised

Sometimes it takes a lot
But it seems like it’s worth the shot
Giving it all you’ve got when you’re up against the clock

Second stage; carried over from your Dance Hall Days
Can you make it hold a candle to your first embrace?

Sometimes the going’s hard
And it feels like the longest yard
Catching yourself off-guard in matters of the heart

Better hang on when you start to worry something could go wrong
The falling part is easy but the drop is long

Now you’ve found you might be movin’ over solid ground
Stick around; you won't get dizzy if you don’t look down

Sometimes it takes a lot
But it seems like it’s worth the shot
Giving it all you’ve got but you’re running on the spot

Better hang on when you start to worry something could go wrong
The falling part is easy but the drop is long

Sometimes the going’s hard
And it feels like the longest yard
Catching yourself off-guard in matters of the heart

Better hang on when you start to worry something could go wrong
The falling part is easy
The falling part is easy
The falling sure is easy
But the drop is long

So long!
