Ha ha, I was 18 when this was out, and at art college. My dad was in his late 50s at the time and he used to say the same about this music, generations eh. And my best friend had a crush on an older man who lived up the road from the college, and was always referring to this song. Happy days😊.

Just because new is different and the 80s had a more experimental and story driven style of music doesn’t mean modern music is bad. Both can be good.

I would never go back even if I could. The music was good and I can still listen to it and go see the bands along with listening to the new music I like. The music was the only thing I liked back in the 80s and I still have it but apart from that life is an awful lot better now.

Still listening in 2024 ? Quality is timeless..

Heard this in a shop this morning, was convinced that it was Information Society. Great tune.

This is the first time I've heard this this century! It'll be 30-odd years since I last listened to it, but still hit the opening lines "I was 37 you were 17..."

Fantastic video from one of my all-time favorite groups. I get so nostalgic watching these really cinematic 80’s videos.

Still have the vinyl, 12” and prerecorded cassette. Very good times...
