Loved these guys-hell loved the whole Ska movement! But this was my hands-down fave rave by the boys. A lament w/a great slow groove matched by a endlessly listenable melody! Toss in words most guys can relate to having been in similar fixes; stumbled & humbled by a lady who broke through our defenses & stole our heart. I miss romance, yet another concept-like original music-killed by mtv-ideology.
Beautiful stuff! I could ride this slow groove all the way to China!
yea yea yea thank you my cd's goth stolen from the car the real collection from that years so sad cant find it n a 2nd hand store pfffr still looking and i dont want the best offs i want the real that is 29 years old
you kids are idiots. just because a band covers someone's song doesnt mean they are trying to compete to see whos version is better. its called a cover. maybe u heard of em
Oh shit, I used to sing this with a kid I used to know at the time. I really fancied him but NEVER told him cause we were such good mates. Then I moved, lol. Chris this is for you ;) Like this better then the rest.
yeah stoopid did use THERE song ..but when they do it they go like overthe top just HIGH energy on the vocals wich really sounds DANK with the beat ..but this is the originALL
it doesnt matter who did better...wat matters is whos version it is. slightly stoopid or watever took the version from ub40 so plz dont argue...its ub40s wonderful and unique version..so plz ppl..stop tlking crap
The second vocal harmony line is REALLY nice! They say God is in the details, I feel that way about music too. One little bit of harmony, one little musical flourish can take a tune from nice to transcendant...
Damn...guess I'm driving into town to get another copy of this disk since I lost the last one...great mood creator for writing!
Man, I can set this on and just let this tune repeat over'nover. Seriously moody song yet still has that infections island groove. Cracks me up when I hear about No Doubt being the 2nd coming of Ska...WTF??! Not even a little bit! Madness, English Beat, THIS is Ska!
I remember being in love when this came out & this embodied how I felt about her. I was mad about her, I'd rewind the tape over and over and dream about her!
Nice....;-)
Great sound quality on this one, thanks for sharing!
I agree. Relationships are increasingly played out in "reality" like they are in modern hip-hop songs and that's bad. I mean hip-hops always been about an exaggeration of "reality" to some degree, but with relationships it's extra bad in it.
