I was just introduced to the artist Joe Jackson recently by my little brother who sent me a message telling me that "Stepping out" by Joe Jackson was the last cassette my father bought before he was killed along with my Mom in a house fire on April 3rd, 1987. My dad was an accomplished piano player. When I listened to Joe Jackson, I realized I had heard some of his music before but as I listened to "Stepping out" and some of his other songs, it was as if I was listening to them for the 1st time. I knew immediately why my father bought his cassette. Joe Jackson is unbelievable on keyboards! And his messages in his music will be timely for all time. Someone wrote a response to JJ's music in these messages saying " This artist is so underrated". I agree, but I'm guilty of that. We should all listen to all artists and all people with better ears. Thankyou my little brother "Foobiebeachnut" I Love & miss you so! xox, "Lauriepauriestargirl"

This song never gets old.

What an arrangement...and the lush chords...a masterpiece.

This is one of the best albums of the 1980s. Joe Jackson did not get enough attention.

Haven't heard this for decades but for no reason a couple of lines from it came into my head last night and I couldn't get them out. Had to listen to it in its entirety. Great song. Btw, how did I get this old? Last time I heard this I was 20 something, now I'm 60 😱

Songs that tug at your heart strings like this one just aren't (and maybe can't be) made anymore. It drives home the irresistible need for a special someone in your life to share of yourself. I'm blessed to have a wonderful wife of 30 years, but this song still brings out the melancholy. Even more so knowing this era is never going to come around again.

probably....he mentally messaged her not to board the train and go back home. Never considered that before.

I love this song so much, but it hurts too much when I hear it. I'll forget about it, but then it will pop up somewhere and I'll listen to it five times, wallow in the heartache for awhile, then forget about it again. It doesn't deserve to be forgotten.

They don’t make music like this anymore. Loved this when I was a kid in the 80’s. I always had a strong connection with music, ended up getting a guitar at age 12 and haven’t looked back! Joe Jackson in my opinion never got the recognition he deserved!

Same here dude! I was 11 when I got mine. My father played as well as his father and uncle, music runs deep in my bloodline.

The girl who was trying to run away is really super cute. She fits perfectly into this song and video.

Yes please!!

I was 15 when this came out. An amazing song and the nostalgia that the video stirs in me leaves me teary eyed.

Music from the past never gets old it's really better than some today

I agree but there are great songs noe

to J bLACK. SECONDED. His upward spirals at the end of a phrase and then the off-beat tempo of the drums which he echoes are iconic. totally under appreciated.

Thanks. I don't know much about music, but I knew some subtle things were going on here.

One of the better videos from the MTV era.

lebarosky one of the better songs from any era.

2021. Still embarking the same emotional roller-coaster after all these years! Timeless 🎵 Love this song. This artist

He's is simply incredible. I would move overseas to be with him. I'm black and have loved him since he first came out. I was in my teens then. I'm 59 and still love this man. No man lays the lyrics and music down like this man. So much depth and passion. Amazing.

Damn, this song just came into my head out of nowhere. Where has this been for decades? JJ was the best!

YEA, COME READ MY COMMENT, JOE IS A PROPHET MUSICIAN, I CANT FIGURE OUT IF HE IS FROM GOD OR NOT?

Joe Jackson is definitely one of my influences as a pianist ever since I was a kid

Saw Joe Jackson live twice in 82-83, first at Top Rank in Bristol UK, then at University of Waterloo in the Physical Activities Complex. . Every note was perfectly played. Nailed every musical nuance vocally. Band was spot on. Highly underrated writer/performer/arranger. Every album was different showcasing a variety of styles of music. His album Body and Soul has some of the best sound you will find on any LP to that date.

True! This album is so great, it marked a time in my life and never faded… I’am 60 now and still listening

Always loved Joe Jackson. This song makes me cry! Beautiful!

He is a brilliant musician with a great voice! Definitely underated! Not for people who love his music..but so many that don't!

It was an EXCELLENT day whenever I could watch any of Joe Jackson's videos on MTV❤ This one here was my favorite!

What a beatiful story! It is a poetry!
