Sorry for your loss. I don't think I realized how much music can affect you in so many ways. I listen to this song and it transports me back to a time when friends and family were still alive. I picture my friend and I driving around in his 73 Challenger, windows rolled down, blasting this song on the radio through the Kraco coaxials, singing out loud. He's been gone for 6 years now and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of something that reminds me of him. Really good friends are hard to come by and I know that I will never have a friend like that again. I am thankful for things like this song that remind me and give me that small moment of happiness. Today is Thanksgiving. Hope you are smiling today sir.

Having been a teenager in the 90s, I'm sort of a bit partial to that decade, but yeah, if I had to choose between only 80s or only 90s, I think I'd probably still go with 80s music. :)

Eighties music is just so amazing, and the Thompson Twins are absolutely criminally underrated.

@1972gsm, I'm 47, not too far behind you and Agree 100%. I was born in that Period of more Soft Rock and Disco. My Older Sister is 51 as well, and I always remind her that she was born in 1 of the Best eras for Music, the earlier 70's had better quality RocknRoll and actual hits. Although, I'd take anything in the later 70's compared to the garbage from the late 90's and beyond. I'd also go back to the 80's in a real hurry as well. 😎🌴🎶👍🏻

So thankful to have grown up in the 80's with all of this great music 🎶 🎵!!! Still listening in 2024!!!

I’m so glad I grew up in this era. Still listening to great songs like this. Just timeless.

The late 80s was not very good, in my opinion. 1989 especially was pretty bad. There were a few exceptions, such as "Like a Prayer" and "Buffalo Stance" but overall fairly uninspiring. Life was better when there were more Brits (like the Thompson Twins) on the charts.

This was about when my second son was born in 83 . He is now 40 . God I am so old now but still happy.

An eternity away but so sweet.

Used to get up early to go work in tobacco fields in the summer when I was young, and when this song came out on MTV, I was lucky enough to hear it most mornings before I left for work......got me through the day! 80's music will never be replaced, or forgotten.

Brilliance. Pure brilliance. Back when men could show emotion and sing their heart out in melody. Also makes me sad for the world we live in today. This was and is the best music for the soul!

In some strange way, in the 80s and early 90s we were living on the crest of a wave. We're on the other side of it now looking back and realizing how amazing it really was. The "future" was yesterday.

Wow,what a tune,me to,an 80s lover❤

Woke up to this tune several mornings in boarding school; the year of my Leaving Cert; 1984. School was a drag, and I found it difficult - especially that year, but the music helped me through. Superb hits that year by Howard Jones, Alison Moyet, Michael Jackson, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, China Crisis, Tears for Fears - I could go on, but, approaching 57 this year, I feel so blessed to have been a teenager in the 1980's. Great memories with nothing but a basic Toshiba radio-cassette recorder and a Raleigh Stratos racing bike to pass my summer holidays by! Innocent times..

I love this song by the Thompson Twins so much.... this always has been - and still is - one of my most favourite ever songs of theirs.

Thank you for sharing this music video! Not everyone had MTV in the 80s!

Era musica favolosa. C'era poca moda ma giusta. Ci si accontentava della semplicità e si avevano bei pensieri spensierati.❤ Io nel 1986 avevo 17 anni. Solo noi possiamo comprendere la musica degl'anni '80. Come vorrei tornare indietro nel tempo❤❤

There's something about their songs that hit you spiritually. Also, this one really resonated with me since I used to be an ice dancer.

I was convinced this would hit #1 when it entered at #18 and climbed into the top 5 the following week. 'Relax' by Frankie goes to Hollywood,'Radio Ga-ga' by Queen and Nena's '99 red balloons' all prevented it from going further than #3 -the charts were choc-full of brilliance back then.

This song encapsulates My Time growing up in the 80s...It touches my soul with a ghostly haunt whenever I hear it... What an Era...'80s BEST!!!

Absolutely outstanding. A musical masterpiece….its as simple as that.

Saw them in concert when they were just getting started, in 1982. They were excellent. We were college students and agreed they really had something!

The Eighties was definitely known for its creativity and uniqueness when it came to music. This forty year old song/video is no different. British band TT helped spread the pop revolution from the "Other Side Of The Pond"!

I’m so lucky to have met them by chance and hung out with them for about a week. They were so down to earth and nice! So much fun. Good memories!!

this song came out when i was 15 and i love the music as i was a percussionist for 35 years.
