Living In A Box - Living In A Box - Guitar and Bass Cover

I haven't put my own bassline to an 80's banger since • A-ha - The Living Dayl... and as I heard this song somewhere recently I thought I'd have a go at it. I remember it being on the radio in one of the GTA games and always thought it was by an American band but turns out they were from Sheffield 🤯

Living in a Box is a song by the British band of the same name, released on 23 March 1987 as their first single from their self-titled debut album. It was the group's biggest hit single along with "Room in Your Heart" (1989), reaching No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. Living in a Box became the group's only top-40 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was later covered by Bobby Womack; his version reached No. 70 in the UK.
The song's title came from a comment by a friend of the band's songwriter and keyboard player Marcus Vere. The friend lived in a small council flat in Sheffield prompting him to remark "I feel like I'm living in a cardboard box!", referring to the sense of feeling enclosed. The video featured British DJ Tony Blackburn holding and moving the mouth of a cardboard cutout of himself over his face.
Living In A Box - Living In A Box Lyrics:
Woke up this morning
Closed in on all sides
Nothing doing
I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone's fooling
I've found a way to break
Through this cellophane line
'Cause I know what's going on
In my own mind
Am I living in a box?
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box?
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box?
Life goes in circles
Around and around, circulating
I sometimes wonder
What's moving underground
I'm escaping
I've found a way to break
Through this cellophane line
'Cause I know what's going on
In my own mind
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box? Oh
I've found a way to break
Through this cellophane line
'Cause I know what's going on
In my own mind
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box? (Living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living, am I living, am I living?
Am I living, am I living, am I living?
(In a box)
Am I living, am I living?
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box?
Am I living, am I living?
Am I living in a cardboard box?
Am I living in a box?
