This is my favorite hit song of the 80's. I wish I could go back to the days where life was simpler, music was better, and MTV played great videos like this. Freakin Amazing... Life has been better since I've had my Level 42.

@vithaj92 Maybe a softer version for the European release and maybe a harder one for the North American? Dunno.. I never really noticed a difference.

Why is this in a different key than the one found on spotify or indeed also from the hard copy of the album??

I like this song so much that the last few times I was on a train I would break into it.
