Me from Taiwan. Good song lasts 4ever.

This song will forever remind me of the summer 1985. Graduated high school and turned 19 that August. After my summer job was over, I could not find a job. No one would hire me. I even went to a temporary job service and even they wouldn't hire me. I finally got a job running a dish machine in a mall resteraunt that December. I just turned 57 this past August and have been retired since May of 2021. This song was on the radio everywhere in 1985 and is a reminder of how fast life passes you by. Please try to stay cognizant of blessings and enjoy your life as much as possible..... it goes by fast.

some of the theatre shows I go to even nowadays, everyone just sits and watches the orchestra and noone applauds, but I always buy a couple of single flowers before going there, and when I appreciate a song I will throw them from the balconey and stand and applaud... and more often than not I'm invited by an usher to meet with some of them at the end to go behind stage after and we get glasses of wine and get to talk to some of them :)

This was the song of my youth. The story of struggling against controlling men who play with you like a cat with a mouse.

Gen Xr' here! There are songs like this one that just bring back a flood of memories from an entire decade! I was in the 8th grade and I remember seeing this video on Night Tracks and being utterly fascinated by the storyline and not entirely understanding it nor the song too well. I did know that he was trying to make her something she wasn't tho. Now, I see both as very cinematic and so perfect! Music and music videos were such an escape for us "latchkey kids" because we had so many adult responsibilities from a very young age! That said, we also have so many amazing pop culture moments to look back on now. The 80's were truly magical! Our very own "wonder years"!

I see some nasty comments about the male lead in the video. His name was Cully Holland. He was an actor who had a very short career, unfortunately. The video was made in 1985. Six years later, Mr Holland died from complications due to the AIDS virus. I think that better commentary about this man is probably in order. Yes, his character was a horrible person. The fact that Mr Holland made the character so realistic is a testament to his skill as an actor. May God rest his soul.

Having a thick skin and realistic attitude includes the realization that at any given moment, 70-90% of people in a specific issue are clueless morons, total idiots who speak from empty minds instead of thinking with empathy and researched knowledge LoL. Doesn't mean the same people are idiots in all things or don't eventually mature or become more enlightened as time goes on. After all life and experience is a process, not a stand alone static thing. Also some people don't like other people and it is subjective so there is that. The important thing is don't let others (thick skin) delegate your life and attitude, only you. This was a good mini movie and the guy helped make it playing his character's role so well (cold and demeaning, I also felt a brutal undertone of violence just under the surface in his portrayal) that it made this mini movie pogniant and is remembered. Kevin Joseph Gallery given name (actually a better stage name ironically than the one he used IMO), passed at 33 from AIDS.

When I asked him for a little bit more emotion like maybe telling me I love you before I have to tell him would be great but he acts like I'm crazy and tells me obviously he loves me. Lol it's called stop acting so tough because I know you're not but hey, people are different. I know he enjoys the I love yous and you're the best thing that's ever happened to mes he gets from me.

I just struggle with my emotions having to depend on him as well as my father to take me to work and home and to go grab a coffee if I want one... I always feel like neither of them want to do any of that for me and it's almost like he feels bad for me that's why he stays. In reality I know he wouldn't stay if he didn't want to be here because he's not dependent like me but it gets in my head sometimes when I don't get smiles and I love yous out of the blue because I know he's not thinking about it or he would be happy to say it especially with my low self-esteem... I guess I'm just too needy but I'd be a lot less stressed knowing that my boyfriend is thinking of me and how much he loves me... He just doesn't think about loving me as much as I think about him not loving me.... If that makes sense 😂

I was 9 years old when this song came out liked it but didn’t understand it. But fast forward to 46 now, after being married to a narcissistic man for 3 years and now divorced I totally understand it. Especially the part she says “he wants me if he can keep me in line” #boybye 😒

Also that it was about a female. They made her change the lyrics from her to him/he. So sad that they took that away from her.

The good ol' days when music videos had meaningful stories to go with them. I miss those days. Would do almost anything to do back.

Deep Song about a person who feels trapped in a relationship where they're unable to express themselves freely. They're burdened by the fear of judgment and disapproval from their partner or the people around them. As a result, they're forced to hide their true thoughts and emotions. The song conveys the frustration of not being able to be one's authentic self due to external pressures and expectations. THX Chat GPT

You are one of the lucky ones Ron to have lived in the Golden Age of music buddy. I feel sorry for the youth and the music of today. Music was about the process of elimination in those days. You had to be outstanding and super talented just to get a shot. The cream always floated to the top. Seems like anyone can (and does) put out crap on the radio. Most of the bubble gum music today lacks the quality of music from the Golden Age. Count your blessings Ron. Stay blessed.

How liberating for her to stand up at the end and let her voice carry…

Born in '73, I was an eleven year old boy when this song was on the radio, mtv. It gets me that i realize how much the neglect and abuse particular to my experience kept me from enjoying my life at this and so many other times. The lyrics exemplify a lovers heartbreak but the heartbreak i feel when i hear music from this time is so bittersweet. There's no going back but they say time is an illusion anyway

3:27 "Hush, Hush darling she might overhear you." My mom had to endure my father for 23 years keeping her quiet this way. Momma finally spoke when she left. That was her way of not hushing. My hero. Rip momma.

Love to hear his side of the story

Born in the early 60's and heard this song as a young man so many times through the 80's and beyond but tonight after randomly watching Kate Hudson and then here I LISTENED for the first time. Very powerful and way way ahead of its time with respect to abusive dysfunctional relationships. We take such statements now as common but 40 years ago this was revolutionary. Such a strong statement for her. Fantastic.

When she stands up at the end. Iconic af. I get chills every time I watch it
