My childhood 1968-1986 sounded so magical, culminating in Howard Jones and his contemporaries. People roll their eyes, but true music genius has been ten times as rare ever since. Boomers disagree, GenX and beyond disagree, but I consider myself on the cusp of 2 generations, raised with Boomers for siblings and schooled with GenX. Right here in the middle was the Golden Age to me. And it was an honor and a pleasure to be raised by the Greatest Generation.

My childhood 1968-1986 sounded so magical, culminating in Howard Jones and his contemporaries. People roll their eyes, but true music genius has been ten times as rare ever since. Boomers disagree, GenX and beyond disagree, but I consider myself on the cusp of 2 generations, raised with Boomers for siblings and schooled with GenX. Right here in the middle was the Golden Age to me. And it was an honor and a pleasure to be raised by the Greatest Generation.
Everytime i listen to this song, i imagine myself back in the 80's. Those were the golden days. Thanks Howard, God bless.

This is the definition of timeless music. Thank you Howard for your musical talent. 👍
This song came out a day before my 11th birthday in 84. Its always been my favourite then October 2019 I saw him live in Holborn. 2 meters away from him playing his piano. He gladly signed my arm so I could get it tattooed forever❤️ love you HJ😘

This song and video as a child inspired me. A white English Girl from a low income family with an Indian Uncle from Kenya and racist Grandmother. The video and song made me want to make friends around the world. Now 48, I have travelled the world on oil industry ships and met hundreds of people from all over from Greenland to New Zealand and married an amazing human from the country they tried to make us hate in the 80's ( Russia/Ukraine/Soviet Union). Thank you Howard for inspiring me to see beyond the surface into the soul.
