Fischer - (1982): She Makes Me Feel - Matthew

Unlike his baroque-rock roots, this track swaps the heavy organ for polished synthesizers and a steady, rhythmic pulse. It’s a bridge between the era and the emerging New Wave sound. Fischer’s vocals are understated and earnest, delivered with a melodic sensibility that feels both nostalgic and modern for its time.

Every element—from the snare hits to the guitar accents—is placed with precision.

For fans of Procol Harum, this piece is a fascinating look at an artist evolving. It shows Fischer stepping out from the shadow of "Whiter Shade" to embrace a world of MIDI and digital textures without losing his signature knack for chord progressions that feel emotionally resonant. It’s a hidden gem of the era—perfect for a late-night drive or a "forgotten 80s" playlist.

The song captures that specific 1982 "blue-eyed soul" energy. It’s light, airy, and romantic, but grounded by Fischer’s sophisticated arrangement skills. It lacks the over-the-top bombast of typical '80s power ballads, opting instead for: Providing a lush, atmospheric backdrop.
