    Nik is a really nice guy in person aswell. I do security at Lets Rock 80's festival that travels around the uk and I talk to him every time. One thing is for sure. He always remembers a face. First time I met him was last year at Lets Rock Sunderland. A year later he remembered who I was.

I have been listening to Nik Kershaw since 1984 when I bought the album ( it is still fantastic) and I feel the same much of the time when I hear the music as I did then. The follow up album was superb too.

His vocals and guitar playing were just as good as in his prime in the eighties. I could not help think of the contrast between a small crowd and his performance at the legendary Live Aid on another day now far away in July 1985. The cooks had good taste in music!

    This is something I like a lot with 80's new wave and pop songs : behind the out-of-this-world instrumentals and flashy trends or weird clips, you can notice a very down-to-earth melancholy and existential angst which countered the superficiality this era wanted to drown people into in the West.

    Nik Kershaw is without doubt one of the most underrated solo artists of the 80's. Not only is he a brilliant guitarist, his lyrics and song writing ability is second to none. Its desperate when you listen to the total crap that's hitting the charts now compared to stuff like this song. A reminder of just how great the 80's really was. The best era for music in my opinion by far..... 👍😎

    I am now 56 and every day I go back to the 80s.......a time when I was at comprehensive school, paper round, college, first car, first job, loads of mates, out down the pub every night, football, great music and fashion. Punks, skins and mods, nothing was false like today. I have had children and saw that none of them lived their teenage years like we did..........we were lucky.

    My best decade of all. Born in the 60's, tried to figure what growing up was all about in the 70's, went out out into the wide world in the 80's and put my stamp on it by getting married in 88. Any song in the 80's conjours up nostalgic memories for me, times, places, the smells and of course friends and acquaintances who shared those ups and downs with us. I'm a father of 3, grandad to 2 (so far), still married to the same girl who stole my heart with her crazy Maddona look. My kids and grandkids think i'm a nutter when Frankie, DuranDuran, the Cure etc. is played and i start my jigging thing going on lol but god, wouldn't it be nice to be my youth in the 80's for just one more day ......

    "Wouldn't it be good, if we could live without a care"? Yep, it would be GREAT! So just keep listening to 80's music :)

    I love how at 3:56, the solo part goes: "even if it was for just one..." and then it switch over to multiple voices just as the other character on screen says: "day!" Pure goodness.

    Every single song my dad keeps listening over and over is a masterpiece. I don't like all of them immediately, but always end up loving them. This one I used to hate because he would blast it on the car EVERY.SINGLE.TIME ... but here I am... no one forced me to search this song... It's 4 AM and this song just seems PERFECT PS: I still live with him and as we grow older our music taste match more and more... and I am not complaining at all hehe

    My friends and I ended up backstage with Nik and The Krew in 1984, Edinburgh Playhouse, courtesy of my artwork and a kind security guard - none of us have forgotten it and we’re all 50 this year. This song means so much to me!! ❤️❤️
