Sometimes (Erasure song)

"Sometimes" is a song by the English synth-pop duo Erasure, released on 6 October 1986 as their fourth single overall. Written by band members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, it typifies the Erasure sound—an uptempo, dance-oriented pop tune accentuated by Clarke's phase distortion and analogue synthesizers and Bell's lyrics about being in love. The trumpet solo is performed by Guy Barker.

"Sometimes" peaked at number one in South Africa, reached number two in the United Kingdom and West Germany, and became an international hit. In the United States, it became Erasure's second top-five hit on the Billboard Dance/Disco Club Play chart, on which it charted in remixed form alongside "It Doesn't Have to Be" and peaked at number four. "Sometimes" was included on Erasure's second studio album, The Circus (1987), released six months later in March 1987.
