Echo Beach exists in the mind of the narrator of the song, but Martha and the Muffins are real. It’s the song of escape, and yearning to escape, common to anyone with a boring job or not.
I love the guitar work and sax playing. It has this old-school vibe despite hitting the top ten in 1980. Just press play, kick back, and go far away in time back to echo beach.
