    Acclaim for the Album:

    4/5 bombs by Louder Than War. The album "carries “an illicit air opulence”. This is precisely the intelligent form of art-pop that we have been crying out for"

    Rolling Stone Australia "when much modern music can be a soporific affair, who doesn’t relish a bit of “sexy, confusing… fun” pop?”


    About the Album:

    Why Did I Choose This? is a collection of quirky and eclectic songs that take unexpected turns while managing to remain accessible and catchy. Marson’s talent for combining over-the-top, extravagant 80s sounds with his timeless crooning vocal creates a cognitive dissonance that will resonate with those who feel out of place in today's world.

lyrics

I met someone new last night
thought I'd seen them before
but that's impossible
when she laughed she looked just like
someone that I had known
In a past life
ooh in a past life
it was in a past life

I wanted confrontation and you showed exactly who you are
you are impossible
you were once my lover
maybe in a past life
but thats impossible

You change lovers like you change all your clothes
I can't believe I'm stood outside
Still waiting here for you
It was a past life
it was a past life
oo it was a past life

Watching
Waiting
For you
to come my way
but you never come
no you never come
back again

It was a past life
I am so sick and tired of always waiting for you
