Can you believe that music was so versatile in the 80`s that there was something for everyone. FYC along with countless others in the 80`s weren`t afraid to be creative and pay homage to those that came before them. i just miss the boldness of the 80`s. Life seems so stagnant without the 80`s even with all this advanced technology, I`m still disgusted.
I remember we considered FYC, Bronsky Beat, Talk talk , Joe Jackson (Night and Day!) only good bands...we were wrong they were GREAT bands....those were the day and we did not know. The sax at 1:26 still makes me breathless!
@SuperProvvidenza How lovely that someone feels just like i do when i listen to this wonderful and melancholy song. Timeless and beautiful. Love and respect to to you. Glen.
I have the 'The Raw And The Cooked' album on vinyl and I had forgotten how excellent this song is. Roland Gift really is quite a singer with this being a clear definition of this
this brings back memories of the worst time in my life, thankfully life turned round for me and this song is a reminder no matter how hard life is...................... u can be happy again
I want to share a story about this song. It is one of the great slow dance tunes of our generation. My first wife never wanted to dance to it. When I danced with my second wife to this song it seemed as if that entire earlier part of my life had been redeemed.
i am 56 and have played guitar and bass since 15 yrs or so.hard rock ,john mclouglin, anything heavy. don't know how i came on this long ago , it was a cassette. i wore it out. a couple years later i got a disc as gift, the only disc i have ever worn out
Thanks for posting this Andrew. Been looking for the title for years. I first heard it when watching the movie "Tin Men" starring Danny De Vito and Richard Dreyfus. Directed by Barry Levinson. Underrated movie. Even more underrated song!
You too? Great slow dancing song. Do people slow dance anymore?
I liked the movie. Great 'slice of life' story. I saw some comments on other boards about using newer music for an older story. Don't get that. As a matter of fact I saw a trailer for a new movie and heard this music I recognized. I think it was for 'Revolutionary Road". Couldn't place the song but realized last night it was Nick Drake's "Know". I don't care how old the song is. It worked! Good music is good music.
This is one of the very best songs of my life.reminds me of my younger days, my mom sis and meself used to dance and sing to this! its so nostalgic, too bad the video is missing and i cant find it anywhere :-( thanks so much for uploading this, pls do pass on the video if someone has it...
This is the most favorite song in theirs.
Thank you for uploading, so I can get back to early 90s, when my high-school days.
