I've been thinking of this song lately. I lost my job, unemployment, bank accounts, apartment...I hate this life SO much. What kind of loving sane god would do this to someone?
@KaD4585 Sorry to hear that ... Its not any doings of a GOD.. its the system that is messed up and so many have to suffer because of it... it sucks.. Hang in there ((<3))
@Time71Team the message below that starts by saying "thank you for your kind comment" was for you, put a reply up thinking it was going to you lol, thats something else we didnt have during the 80,s.."computers",and its plain to see im still a bit of a learner. thanks again.
@mrmrdean1 Your welcome. I no what you mean about computers. It took me a year of using a computer before i realised what copy and paste meant. I think we were better without computers, it meant we were forced to read books and do research for our homework, now kids just google and copy what is on the internet. The joy of learning and finding out things is lost on todays generation.
The very first time I heard this song back in 1985 I cried I was a teenager and i was so depress I don't know what compel me to think of this song but somehow I just type in what I remember and found it, it takes me back to a darker place in life but a happy one at the same time
This is way before the PS3 came out. This is way before Hilary Duff starred in Lizzie McGuire. This is way before the arrival of the PSP. This is way before I started typing in different words into my Nintendo DS Lite. This is way before I and Alexis argue against Janet Jackson's proof. This is way before Spaghetti and Pizza. This is way before Full House aired. This is Nik Kershaw singing "Wouldn't It Be Good".
@Time71Team appart from a nasty episode in my life i can totally agree at where your coming from,its true to say that you dont know what you have until its gone.
@mrmrdean1 thankyou for your kind comment,alot of people seem to be negative to what i was, im glad to say though that after all that happened (inc turning to drugs and ending with a 10 year heroin addiction) iam now a straight guy with a straight life, "i think" iam a good father and a good role model to my son and daughter and its because them that my life has become what it should have done had i had direction in my youth,its not a sob story its a sucess.i hope life treats u well,thank you.
loved the 80,s but this song was in the charts as i was in a borstal (childrens prison) eastwood park,"now a womans prison, i was 14 years old prior to this and doing really well at school with a promising future,then "my rock" dad died 29 may 1983, mum had mental health problems and i went totally off the rails and just over a year after my dad died i was doing time,thinking i was a man but sobbing like a little baby in my cell wondering what the fuck was going on with life,im 43 now and good.
@mrmrdean1 Glad that life worked out for you. Losing your dad at such a young age is such a devastating event and it is not surprising you went off the rails.
If only it were possible to go back and spend one last moment with those we have loved and lost but all we can do is make the best of our life now.
Having been a teenager in the early 80`s i would gladly give up all the remaining years of my life if i could have just one day back from those happy days.
I never realised then that they were the best days of my life and i would never again be as happy as i was then.
Now those days are gone along with the family and friends i once held dear and as i get older life stops giving and starts taking more of those people who were in my life but my memories will never be taken from me.
@Time71Team oh life can only be what you make it. chin up, and move on. Make room in your life for new people dear to you, new precious memories and fun times. we can not live in the past, go out and make your future
@Time71Team Its was probobly better being a teenager then than in the late 90s .. Did you or anybody you know at that time in your high school years experience serious teen depression or suicide?? Thats pretty much all I saw in high school around 2001.. I was stuck in the 80s since my early childhood in the late 80s my life has never got better since the early 90s this music always helped keep me feeling that 80s innocence I was just little and happy then
@weirdscience85 As a teen in the early to mid 80`s i can honestly say that i never came across another teen with depression and teen suicides when reported in newspapers were very very rare.
I can empathise with you completely that this music is a great comfort and a reminder of happier times when life was so innocent and carefree.
If i had known how my future and life would be i would have chosen to end my life when i was still a teen and at my most happiest.
@weirdscience85 Teens from the late 90`s until now have so much pressure to deal with, far more than we ever had, i think the teens of 80`s were the last innocent generation and i would hate to be a teen now.
At least with music like this, for a little while we can travel back to those days when we were happiest and we still have our memories.
You are prob not into poetry but one of my favourites deals with grieving for happier days and is called "The Land of Lost Content". Google it.
@Time71Team Ohhh, you found the words to tell exactly what i feel! I was listening, trying to remember my innocent days, and this music...I'm 34 and my daughter is only 14...well, she couldn't understand at all, I don't know if I have to be sad or no for her...c'est la vie... Well, thank you for LOLC! Don't care to be a nostalgic fool lol sorry for my english, hope you understand
I remember him doing this at Live Aid, he was brilliant. I know a lot of great acts got the accolades on the day but the likes of Nik and Howard Jones played a great part at the UK end. Great musicians.
reactions til now ; three, three, free, freee, let's do that again...; one... (p.s. great lyrics for such a "poppy" song) and I'm not joking.!! and do know a thing about it..
"Wouldn't It Be Good" reminds me of my troubled past when I visited the everGirl webpage. But now it is discontinued. SCREW YOU, EVONY, SCREW YOU FOR MAKING THE INTERNET MISERABLE THE ENTIRE LIFE! EVONY MUST BE STOPPED FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL! BRING BACK EVERGIRL RIGHT NOW!
Wouldn;t it be good, yup, I want to live without a care...I going to try best that I can with what I got and I got something real magical I was given, I am very lucky to have got it(Knowledge) I sure wish everyone at least checks it out,,, no harm in finding out if for u...check out my channel if u want to ... peace and love to all
Gosh... after black'n'white and boring 70's came these marvelous 80's... what a time, what a fashion, what a groups, what a songs. Nothing can compare to that time, that was AWESOME !!
Poor generation of 90's and 2000's - u didn't live at this time...u see NOTHING.
@MagicLend I agree the 80's music was great, and I wish I was back there. That being said the 70's were also great. The 70's were not black and white. There was not yet music videos but all film was color, black and white went away in the late 60's. Colorful acts such as Bowie, Queen, Elton John thrived in the very rich music of the 1970s.
Why can't we have good music like this anymore? :(...and that's comming from a 34 year old underground Hiphop addict ( not comercial crap rap). Turn on the radio today and all you hear is rubbish theese days. Im lucky to remember all the good songs from the 80s!
@axesent Beacuase the music industry has a big agenda to dumb the young people down. It's an illuminist new world order plot to create a bunch of programmable robots all listening to the same homogenized crap. I turn on the pop stations occasionally and it all sounds the same. There's not much room for anything original anymore except for what's played on a few alternative stations.
i always loved this song but never knew what he was talking about till the other week my partner left me took our child and left me in limbo, and i have no idea why
i remember listening to this song when i was 6 and living in queensland, every week i use to go to scouts this song would come on <3 they were the gud times the great classic hits.
I woke up this morn .and this song was playing in my head
I think music and good songs last forever and this is a message cause who hasnt been what he is singing about Look at the fcking planet this is the craziest shit I have evr seen
Dont you think ?Lets ressurect this song in fact lets do that with a few other tunes what the fck is going on ?
Come on people... it's about the message in this song, not the UK vs USA songwriter contest! There's real emotion in this song... and it's so well portrait in it... it's kind of amazing it his the charts at all! (This is were this "contest" topic comes in!)... Seriously, listen to the lyrics... and let it capture you.
Just to name a few: Alice in Chains B-52's The Beach Boys Creedence Clearwater Revival The Doors The Eagles Foo Fighters The Go-Gos Lynyrd Skynyrd Nirvana Metallica Pearl Jam Red Hot Chili Peppers REM Smashing Pumpkins
Funny, my son, 11 year old, listen to all Nik Kershaw on youtube. Had to tell him I did the same when I was 11 (only.. youtube did not exist - had it on tape instead)
This song is so true of all of us. We all believe that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Someone else has always got it worse, we need to consider that.
"American popular music had a profound effect on music across the world. The country has seen the rise of popular styles that have had a significant influence on global culture, including ragtime, blues, jazz, swing, rock, R&B, doo wop, gospel, soul, funk, heavy metal, punk, disco, house, techno, salsa, grunge and hip hop. In addition, the American music industry is quite diverse, supporting a number of regional styles such as zydeco, klezmer and slack-key."
Classic song, excellent example of how the brits are the best musicians, singers, and composers. Our American pop/rock musicians all sound the same today - a dime a dozen. You can't tell one from the other since a couple of producers are writing all of the songs.
@evenjen As far as who have the best grasp of the English language, and therefore the ability to sing it proficiently with much class, the Brits win, hands down. However, don't generalize. You are speaking for the English language, not the whole world so be careful when you say that "the Brits are the best musicians".
@evenjen Unfortunately it's the same here in the UK now. Decent pop music has given way to manufactured bands and solo artists. Nobody has any talent anymore. People want to be famous for the sake of being famous. They don't have a message to convey in a song, or a feeling to express in a piece of music . It breaks my heart. 80s kids TV show theme tunes are better pieces of music than the drivel we're fed today.
Need woman for good cooking! Looks don´t matter. Should be creative. For all the other stuff I´ve got four supermodels waiting for me at the beach. See the experimental music-video-project on my channel. Some hate it, some just don´t like it. But see for yourself. Ay caramba!
There is no doubt about the brits skil with music back then ........but sorry sorry to say its over boys........thanks to the likes of S A W and the latter pop idol idiots.........
@ladybab It is interesting how Brits seem to nail American culture better than we do sometimes (Batman series, etc.) Granted, we're making it all up as we go.
@ladybab Well at least you're good at something. But that's OK lassy, we'll keep protecting you little island. ;) Oh, and you Brits also make a mean bread pudding.
A fan of Brittish Music for ever, this was on of my favorites and I still LOVE it. Although I never did hear too much from Nick after this . THANKS FOR THIS ONE.

This song is so true of all of us. We all believe that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Someone else has always got it worse, we need to consider that.

The country has seen the rise of popular styles that have had a significant influence on global culture, including ragtime, blues, jazz, swing, rock, R&B, doo wop, gospel, soul, funk, heavy metal, punk, disco, house, techno, salsa, grunge and hip hop. In addition, the American music industry is quite diverse, supporting a number of regional styles such as zydeco, klezmer and slack-key."

Today's music is just a load of shit full of tokio hotel, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and dumbass emo bands that think they know what they're doing...
it's fucking lame!
music was really special throughout the 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's and the early 00's... Wouln't it be good if we have those days back? :)

While I do love this song and respect the contributions Brits have made to music, I would not say they are the best.

Classic song, excellent example of how the brits are the best musicians, singers, and composers. Our American pop/rock musicians all sound the same today - a dime a dozen. You can't tell one from the other since a couple of producers are writing all of the songs.

I don't know about singers. I have never heard a British Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand or Michael Jackson. Best Rock bands though are British.
brightlights456X 3 months ago
@evenjen As far as who have the best grasp of the English language, and therefore the ability to sing it proficiently with much class, the Brits win, hands down. However, don't generalize. You are speaking for the English language, not the whole world so be careful when you say that "the Brits are the best musicians".

@evenjen Unfortunately it's the same here in the UK now. Decent pop music has given way to manufactured bands and solo artists. Nobody has any talent anymore. People want to be famous for the sake of being famous. They don't have a message to convey in a song, or a feeling to express in a piece of music . It breaks my heart. 80s kids TV show theme tunes are better pieces of music than the drivel we're fed today.

You've got no problems I'd stay right there if I were you
I got it harder you couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you
The heat is stifling burning me up from the inside...
