1 rule for someone else-this should not be left off compilations when Pretenders 'Middle Of Road' didn't even make Top 75 anywhere that mattered! Kate Bush's 'The Dreaming' hit UK48 & is on her hits. 'Dancing In The Dark' would have hit if that idiot no-one bloke hadn't released his version of the same song at the same time. Plus in 1983 people were stupid as hell-why they won't buy album cos of 1 single not even getting radio play is beyond me. Kim doesn't get the radio play-that's why!
@TheMjblades I love Kim Wilde, Pretenders and Kate Bush. Even though KB's "The Dreaming" featured on "The Whole Story", tracks like "Don't Give UP" (her duet with Pater Gabriel) and "Them Heavy People" (the lead track from the "Live On Stage" EP) - both Top 10 singles - were omitted. So too were "Hammer Horror" (#44), "The Big Sky" (#37) and "December Will Be Magic Again" (#29). Some artists put out "Greatest Hits" packages featuring songs that weren't even singles, not to mind great hits !
@MrTevB I think you're right, they are 2 different songs, but you are right again in that Kim's is so much better, that's not to insult his, which is fine, but Kim wins hands down generally with whatever she has out whenever she shares a song title, whether album track, b-side, or single with anyone else-her stuff is just so damned cool.
I really like this video. I can see why some people find it boring but I think it's very.. aesthetically attractive. It's very stylistically pure but still feels very 80's (which isn't a common combination). And it fits the song really well too.
I mean, compare this to the video for "The Touch", which is just.. horrible.
My least favorite song on the album. It's alright but so far removed from everything else on the album. I realized why. It wasn't written by any of the Wildes.
I also realise now why this song has been left off hit complilations *due to it not doing well chartwise*. I genuinely love this song and am shocked it failed for her,.
I had no idea this single failed for her until I read wikipedia yesterday, my brother played this album in my house alot when I was about 8 and it just sounded like it had to be have been a hit song.
I always prefer to see Kim Wilde in a well-lit video, to make it easier for me to gaze upon all that beauty. This is not the ideal video for Kim-gazing, but nonetheless thanks for uploading this rarity.
is it me or this looks like a 90's video in the 80's ??
maybe that's why it flopped
Kim Wilde was one of the hottest chicks in that era ♥

Cool, never seen this video, and I thought that I had seen all Kim's videos :)
She's the best, as usual, even if this song isn't my fauvorite, its ok, she done alot worse songs, for example on the "love moves" album.

Yeah its a great tune; one of her best. It's too bad that it flopped and not even she herself likes it.

I think the video looks cheap, but in a cool way. Just like the song sounds cheap, but also in a cool way. One of my favorites of Kim's singles.
