This is a very beautiful song, but the quotes around the title - The "Sweetest" Girl - add so much. He's singing about a beautiful girl, but he's also singing about pop music, and how pop songs, like politics, can change our perception of the world - "the sickest group in all the world, how could they do this to me?" Choosing a "Lover's Rock" style is probably no accident.

Magic. Beautiful. Evocative. Being young. God I so miss those times...

Beautiful 80s song but want's ever more beautiful is the girl! We all drift through life doing the same old thing, work, rest and sometimes play. Then BANG! one day you either meet or see the most girl beautiful girl you've ever seen. Well today is that the day. She is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I would "launch a thousand ships" for her!

@floppybollox3 You've just described my 80s. :-)

way ahead of his time... still good today, and he's still producing great music! Also, just from over the mountain in Cwmbran.....
Boy oh boy... isn't this just one of THE finest songs from the era ? How could you ever articulate to folks these days how moving a song like this was in 1981 ! - it seems like a lifetime ago (in fact it is for some people).
What were you doing in 1981 ? I was sooo happy - my first true love, (she loved Scritti) and of course, I got hooked and well. Timeless people... simply timeless and long may we remember it
