Our generation was so lucky to have grown up on 80's music. Yes, the videos were cheesie but they were a new concept. It really was a great time to see the evolution of modern music and be there when these songs were standard radio play, and jukebox tunes to listen to for a dime! ♥️

Total chills. I love this song.

This 1985 Thompson Twins song was super magnificent!!

Ahhh the 80s…Such a happier time. When music was fun, hair was crazy and everyday was literally like dressing up for Halloween! Everything was so much brighter. When we missed yesterday, didn’t want today to end and lived for tomorrow. I wish so much that the newer gens could feel that joy.

Together this is mine and my husband's favorite song.

This group is very much underrated.

My second favorite Twins song next to "Hold Me Now". They had their own style. What '80s memories are made of.

The 80s were a really creative period and there seemed to be more genres available for people to enjoy. People took more risks I think.

We were at the Totally Tubular 80s concert in the Los Angeles region on Saturday, June 29th. Out of about eight bands, Thompson Twins were the best.

Everyone looking there best here… love the Pearls.. I feel like this was the song they went out with a bang… with all 3 members

I really prefer this original British version of this song.… They re-recorded it for the US, including gospel singers, possibly to justify having the different video etc.…. Most people seem to prefer that version, but for me this version just seems to groove better and sound more flowing… The American version to me seems to be a little bit too choppy and staccato, while this version seems to appeal to me more and just makes me feel better.…. For some reason if you call this song up on almost any streaming service you get the American version usually……. Anyway, love it!

Saw this tonight played live, June 25, 2024. Amazing performance. ❤

One of my Favourite Bands. A Band of 3 but called themselves Thompson Twins.

This has been stuck in my head for DAYS! In a good way....❤❤❤❤❤

Cheers to a certain long gone web radio for introducing me to this song. Kinda miss it.

Thompson Twins were a class act and great musicians. Proud to say I saw them twice in concert, one of the shows was at my college. ❤️💛🎶

Back when we still had hope.....through all the personal troubles i had growing up , Music back then always gave me hope and happiness...boy how many excellent songs and artists ...back then,this was just another good band , following maybe a video from the Cure and maybe after them there would air some songs by Duran,Duran,Spandau Ballet, Depoeche Mode, The Cult, Matt Bianco,all kinds of music everyone did in an excellent and personal way.......when i see the World today, sometimes i think that i m growing old,some others i just think the World has gone crazy....i wanna live in hope and that's why i'll always keep 80s music close to my heart

I don't think I've seen Paul use this type of bass, what a great sound it puts out.

Just wish those days were here again pipe dream I know but if Only !!!

This song makes me wish i grew up in such a decade as 80s. I feel that i emotionally belonged in this decade.❤❤❤

I had the words to this one in smash hits at the time from december 1984. Very nice too as well of course. Thank you too.

Cool 80s music everybody loved back then. The Thompson Twins.

Oh its been a long ong long time since i heard this

The drummer in this video is June Miles-Kingston, a very accomplished drummer. Some noteable groups that she played with - Mo-dettes, Everything but the Girl and the Communards.
