In The Arms of a Stranger - The Connecting Dots (Soft Rock) In “In The Arms of a Stranger”, The Connecting Dots deliver a moody ballad that feels straight out of the 80s. The retro cut has some Kate Bush vibes, with a unique and distinctive vocal that is very reminiscent of Cyndi Lauper. With a retro song structure, our favorite moment is certainly the key change of the bridge, leading right into a lovely guitar solo. Careful listeners will also notice that the instrumentation is incredibly lush—constantly building with new additions—including everything from the light touch of a few bongos to a bevy of retro synths, which elevate the song to anthem status. Definitely blast this one on your commute, it’s a good one to sing along to in the car.
Best Lyrics: “This is a broken arrow.”
