Back around 1989 my brother in law and I started doing the city bar scene in Fell's Point Baltimore (when it was safer to do so) and we started getting into the music of a local band called "The Sway" who played alternative music covers along with this song spot on cue and we would go ape-sh*t screaming when the guitar player covered the solo which always kept the band smiling and other fans losing it, later after finding out who the original artist was I went right out and bought the Plimsouls CD as well as many other groups that they covered, the band later broke up sometime in the '90s and went their separate ways, but I still cherish those memories as an old timer nearing 72 soon. 😊

When people say „Oh yeah the 80s are so retro and cool“ Like excuse me? Retro is like the 50s! Duh! For us who are generation X , this isn’t retro! Stop like making us feel 100 years older then we are! 80s for ever! The best time there was!

A meaning of this song came to me today ... "A million miles away" means the lead singer is wrestling, not always successfully, with depression and alienation. "Holding on to the hands of the past, and you" ... he wants to reconnect with the friends that make up "the crazy world." He's "drifting to a different place ... falling off the edge" in that more often than not, he's been imagining the world to be, if not better without him in it, not appreciably worse either. He's fighting against this feeling with everything in him, but he can't see any compelling reason keeping him here. At first, the line "And there's nothing left to bring me back today" is a quiet resignation; thirty seconds before the end, however, the weight of realization slams into him. His previously flat tone becomes fearful and desperate as he pleads with God, the Universe, what have you, "Bring me back today!", knowing that if he's not brought back right that second, he never will be. Heavy, heavy stuff ... But a damn good piece of music.

I remember going to Magic Mountain and seeing "The Plimsouls" on their amphitheater marquee and wondering who they were. I hadn't heard this song at that time but always wished I would have checked out the concert that night. Magic Mountain used to get some pretty cool KROQ types of bands back in the 80's.
