in the late-70s through the 80s my dad was a alcoholc & terrorized us to the point of us running out of the house. For some reason this song reminds me of those days...gone but not forgotten.
i'm 25 and when i was 17 i remember my family took me to The Hard Rock Cafe Resort for some concert whilst i was staying with them in Bali. And i suddenly realised WHO i was watching when they started playing this song! lol. I was like OMG! I know level 42!! and they were really really good!
Never seen before. Thanx for the post. Such a great listen... the bass part dosen't always correspond to the video. Nonetheless, the song of this terrific band is just amazing. Intelligent and a bit sofisticated.
itsfunny1234, you are exactly right. Nowadays so many (not all) artists don't even write their own music or even play musical instruments. This is REAL MUSIC.
There is no way the kids of today, when they turn our age.Will be able to look back on todays music and have the great feelings that we have when we listen to the 80`s music.
I never liked it then and even now it's no more than just average. Just look how uncool they are with their instruments strapped just below their earholes, it looks so uncomfortable to play that high up.
@nancyroseanne Ah, it's all about how high up the guitar is. If you knew fuck all about guitar, you'd know that it's easier to play well with the instrument higher up. Now go and find something to watch with style over substance, which will make you feel more comfortable. Sheep.
@modernmusicstinks I think your memory, along with your brain is limited and very small. It was you who decided it was big and clever to start abusing me over my personal view on this dire music. You don't know me or anything about me. So fuck off and keep your worthless personal insults to your little boy self. xx
@nancyroseanne Actually it is. You clearly don't play guitar but don't let that stop me calling you a penis if it makes you feel better. You called the video boring, but it's not half as boring as you. Go and do something interesting instead of sitting there trying to snipe with baseless psuedo-irony.

Their second biggest hit,i believe,based on it's highest UK chart posistion.It is their most familiar song in these parts (Aussie/NZ) though so it may have charted higher here than"Lessons in love" did.
I agree with the top comment. Lady GaGa, she is so over rated but no one can barely speak out against her and her music it is like a crime not to like her. I see people in their 40s and 50s singing Poker Face! I'm mid 20s and cannot stand the woman! LOL! 70s and 80s BEST!!
Please excuse my ignorance - and as a bass-player, it really is PIG-ignorance - but what's Mark King wearing on his right thumb? I assume it's to protect the joint from the slapping, but what exactly IS it? xD
i had 23 years with out hearing this song the only thing keeps me remember it was the sax notes and now that i hear it it makes me cry was the time when i was a child and then turn to a teenager my god i cant believe how many years, things and events past in my live =) =( thanks to the poster for make my day
@sxedyee You haven't heard it for that long, that is long passage of time to go without hearing song as great as this, i love this song, i was practically raised on Level 42.
Great song, from a great band the like of which we'll never see again - the music industry today has become too "plastic", and is clogged full of talentless wanabe's. Everything peaked musicaly during the eighties, and has gone downhill ever since.
It quite amazing looking back and seeing 80s pop music that I secretly liked even though it wasn't cool, and comparing it to today's pop. No comparison, these guy's were talented musicians. Level 42 were a serious jazz/funk band in the late 70s who went on to have some commercial hits in the 80s. 'Looking back it so bizarre' cos these tunes so better now than they did at the time mostly because of the dire state of pop music today!
OMG!! haven't heard this for years, its FAB! makes you realise what we're missing with most of the dross we're having to hear at the moment. bloody good band.
This song has been with me, practically all my life, my Dad used to have The Running In The Family albulm, which he would constanly play on the record player, great memories of this wonderful song.
Anyone notice its harder now to find Level 42 original videos?, someone seem to have removed all of them. If that's the case, no one benefits. Anyhooo, I just love their music, wish I could get all their original videos.
This is maybe mainstream,but played fantastic,fantastic musicans!Lady gaga,shakira,beyonce?I don´t know where the f*** music went nowadays when these 3 women are the most popular artists on planet??!Give me a break!
Level 42 1987 That was one of my first CD's I ever bought, and this song was 7 minutes like Lessons in Love, Something about you (all long versions....7/8 minutes) but this is fantastic music! Join the Euro Club, dear England.....I should say !
To be honest mate...sat the time all bands performing on Top of the Pops were mimed. The BBC was concerned about duff performances, swearing ect...so no band ever played live on TotP in the 80's. Most memerable performance regarding this was Iron Maidens appearance for the song Running Free. They just kept swapping instruments, totally giving the game away for those too young or ignorant to realise that the songs were all lip synced. But, no, its not a fault of L42, it was the norm on TotP.
i think music is more stereotyped nowadays, guitars for metal and rock, instrument samples for pop, gibberish for electronica. Seperating instruments is not the answer!
I really love this song, not to mention how appropriate it is. It reminds me of my dad somehow. 'things that we are born to be, it runs in the family, all the things that we are. great song!
Oh my god, does this bring back memories!!!! Was in Greece on holiday an really, really fell for an amazing lass, could not even say a word as I was married, years later, not with the two timing bitch, but can still listen to the music and dream "what if I had spoken, yeah, I know, how sad is that!! Lol
Not one of their best tracks IMO. I can understand the Gould bros misgivings re the band's direction at this time. I much preferred their earlier stuff - first 3 albums; sci-fi imagery included.
I agree with Bjoernbaks. The so-called "mainstream" had real class in the 80's. Even the one-hit wonders. So many good songs and evergreens. It was a another generation of musicians and producers. The german TV was better too. Not so much crap like today. I hate it. And I hate most of today's music. It's the same old story: the world looks and feels better, when you're young. But I will never, never forget the old days of good pop music. And I will always listen to it. Greetings from Germany.
Great song and band. I really think the "mainstream" hits were much much better back in these days than now. It was more often than not real musicians and not people picked out by record company´s and given a hit. Hate all this Lady Gaga alike "music" now.
@Bjoernbaks You've gotta change your attitude. I've long changed my views on music. I accept all kinds now. You must remember this 80s music was hated by those who followed music in the 60s and 70s, in those days (the mid-80s).
Only a good thing! I wish I'd have had such cool parents! I wish I'd been named Kyrie after the Mr Mister song...one of my all time faves!! I love this song too. Very sweet song and lyrics...
Fascinating, interesting discussion ,but what about level 42. Gotta like that JD bass ,Mark I believe had about a dozen go through his hands ,until he got his Alembic.
Yet you keep coming back to this video to post your shite? Like I mentioned, engage your brain. Your either a shit troll, or someone so severely mentally challenged that in some countries they would have euthanised your sorry arse to erase the blip you are on society.
Ok Windy Miller I will muse and mull over your advice then cast it aside to its rightful place, the dustbin! You evidently are unable to take your own advice with regards engaging your brain as all that you wrote was tosh! Go back to hanging around street corners with your tracksuit bottoms tucked in to your socks,drinking white lightning and generally being a lumpen pratt! You are now dismissed. Here endeth the lesson.
Indeed the spook on keyboards is a disgrace and like the twat king has a propensity to wear his trousers under his neck..i'd forgotten how shite this lot were...
Dave the festering sore on the back of humanity! You don't say so you? What are all these homo erotic latent tendencies your spouting! I guess by your vernacular that your a septic plum! You should really stop projecting your Joe Orton, cottaging fixations on to others and stop using the word douche! Ok beefy tits, see you later Nits!

I agree with Bjoernbaks. The so-called "mainstream" had real class in the 80's. Even the one-hit wonders. So many good songs and evergreens. It was a another generation of musicians and producers. The german TV was better too. Not so much crap like today. I hate it. And I hate most of today's music. It's the same old story: the world looks and feels better, when you're young. But I will never, never forget the old days of good pop music. And I will always listen to it. Greetings from Germany.

70's and 80's, best time of my life. This song brings back so many good memories. It's a real unbeatable classic.

Great song and band. I really think the "mainstream" hits were much much better back in these days than now. It was more often than not real musicians and not people picked out by record company´s and given a hit. Hate all this Lady Gaga alike "music" now.

@Bjoernbaks You've gotta change your attitude. I've long changed my views on music. I accept all kinds now. You must remember this 80s music was hated by those who followed music in the 60s and 70s, in those days (the mid-80s).

Great band, great song and one of the best bass players in the world.
But.. they can't play fake at all because it's pretty obvious that Mark insn't really playing his bass.

Only a good thing! I wish I'd have had such cool parents! I wish I'd been named Kyrie after the Mr Mister song...one of my all time faves!! I love this song too. Very sweet song and lyrics...

Great band - Extremely UNDERATED.
They p!ss all over the majority of bands today.
Music is so poor compared to how it used to be. Bands like Level 42 are real talent.

Totally agree bruv.
Great great band, with so many soulful funky vibes.
Dont know aboutt you but when I watch things like Beverly Hills Cop, the tunes are so mesmerizing and fantastic to listen too.

Fascinating, interesting discussion ,but what about level 42. Gotta like that JD bass ,Mark I believe had about a dozen go through his hands ,until he got his Alembic.

You engage your brain Jackass! You prattle is tedious in the extreme! Go back to listening to this shite, cauliflower ears! You lumpen fool.
bobbycrosure 2 years ago
Yet you keep coming back to this video to post your shite? Like I mentioned, engage your brain. Your either a shit troll, or someone so severely mentally challenged that in some countries they would have euthanised your sorry arse to erase the blip you are on society.

Ok Windy Miller I will muse and mull over your advice then cast it aside to its rightful place, the dustbin! You evidently are unable to take your own advice with regards engaging your brain as all that you wrote was tosh! Go back to hanging around street corners with your tracksuit bottoms tucked in to your socks,drinking white lightning and generally being a lumpen pratt! You are now dismissed. Here endeth the lesson.
