I always get tears in my eyes whenever i hear this song. I would give anything to go back. Sit on the porch with my grandparents, have lunch with mom and just talk. Run and play with my dog. It was such a care free time for me filled with love. I am 62 and missing the world of the 80's.

The music in the 70s, 80s and 90s were the greatest! Even the movies then weren't sequels or rehashes of junk you didn't like the first time around. A lot of the music then was hopeful, about love, about peace, and about trying to find it. Nothing today compares, though there's always hope for new music to evolve into something cool again.

Back in the early 80s when I was in my early twenties and the world seemed a magical place. Young people, enjoy your youth. Being old is horrible.

Nothing in this world could give me the feeling I felt right now with the memories this song brings! The 80’s were soooo Awesome!

This is the happiest and most nostalgic song ever. Never fails to brighten up my mood.

This marvelous love song throws me back to the even much more marvelous eighties when (1988, when this song was released) I was 22 years old and when I was very deeply in love with my girlfriend witch I am still with fortunately. 'Those were the days my friend🤷🏻‍♂️'; I will néver forget the incredible, maybe the best music decade ever (way too much to mention), eighties. Whát a great time then; perhaps the best days of my life and I miss it too...

I dedicated this song to my son who was born when this song came out. He was my little star. Now he and his wife have 3 of their own little stars.

A timeless love song. Perfect blend of happy pop and a foot-tapping beat. Relevant in the 2020s ... as it was in 1989. Amazing 🥰

Fun Fact: These two also wrote "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and "How Will I Know" for Whitney Houston. So if you think this is catchy, you're right. Shout out to the 80s! The best songwriting decade for pop music. So good they're still influencing artists today. ❤

They were at a Whitney Houston concert and noticed a shooting star. This inspired this song. It was written for her, but she passed. I’m glad to see these two sing it, and it still sounds awesome today as it did back then. EDIT: Some people are confusing "passed" for "died". Whitney was not interested in singing this song, so she passed on it.

@Momentum Rules You bet!! In fact, since I had the misfortune of being a teenager in the 2010s--when mainstream music is almost nothing but autotune and machine noises and not using real instruments--I listen heavily to 1980s music as most of it has a unique "magical" and "stereotypical Disney" (this song is especially very Disney-esque) especially feel to it, with its potent synthesizers (like Van Halen's "Jump" and Laura Branigan's "Gloria", the latter of which I especially like the "explosive" synthesizer jabs), blazing distorted electric guitar (like in every 1980s hair metal song), and driving beats! (You can say that I am one of those youth in a generation that tends to indulge in and favor the decade 2-3 decades before the current one, as how there were youths who were a fan of the 1950s-1960s, back in the 1980s; just like there are youths who like 1980s today) Though I am glad that there are many artists today that are channeling the 1980s in their own music...In fact, a singer named Eddie Vantez released an album this week, of songs that sound like they came straight from Bon Jovi, RATT, Whitesnake, Journey, etc., only difference is that they were released this week! You should listen to Eddie Vantez!!

George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam, fine songwriters who wrote a bunch of hits for others, primarily Whitney Houston, finally got a chance to record themselves in 1988 for RCA. Got this on on a cassette single (stores were phasing out 45's then), and later on CD. I was doing Country on WHPO back then, but saved this for later use on KBOA. While capturing a moment in time that no longer exists, the song is timeless.

To me, this one reminds me of a time when I was in 9th grade. It was a time when nobody really judged me for being a person of European descent. I had classmates who were of African descent, most of the people on my school bus were of African descent, and about half of my high school band was caucasion, and the other half was of African descent. We all got along, for the most part. Nobody seemed to care. We were in school to learn, and we were in the band to kick the shit out of the other schools band. That is what we worried about.

It was an awesome time to grow up and not to mention the music. Wish i can do it all over again! 😞
