I remember that song. I would never have guessed that they were from England. I detected no accent while they were singing.
I never heard their speaking voices.

That song is well produced too.
I like the mild echo during the refrain. It described the feeling of desolation and distance.
I like that the vocals and the music do not drown each other out.

Sounds a lot like The Little River Band.

It’s pretty easy to disguise your accent/dialect when singing. Many bands have done this. It’s when you hear their dialect that they are actively trying not to cover over it, IMHO.

When Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers came out with Southern Accents, you’ll get what I mean. It was deliberate for that song.
