    "Strangled by the wishes of pater (father), hoping for the arms of mater (mother)" …. Song written and sung about Mick Hucknall’s childhood. His mum left when he was three. He didn’t get along with his dad in older years. Song didn’t get very far in the UK but it was re-released a year later, it went to #1. He was born in the UK. His parents were Irish with a grandparent from Slavic Jewish ancestry. Blue eyed soul….. ❤️

    He's a great Soul singer one of the best for sure. He's a white Englishman mate. (Ginger) lol 😂 from north of England great voice.. The Englishmen and Welshmen are known for our voices and sing writing also Virtuoso Instrumentalists (& Irish on occasion) especially old-school Londoner's (and the Welsh from the Welsh valleys).. through the years a few you probably heard of Amy Winehouse, Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield(Motown) Many Many GREAT singers who are English or British, a lot of people don't realise are British funnily enough! (Until they hear them speak) also obviously reinvented the Blues and exported back to America via Eric Clapton and his peers etc..
    Ps. we still ALL love a karaoke! lol.

    This is not about liking old music and being old. It is about our life experience that is beginning to finally speak gently. And the scars on our body and our mind are resonating with music.
    Since our life history is different for each of us, but so similar at the same time, that is why we have different tastes in music while sharing them at the same time.

Im really glad you younger kids are finding the emotion and love we had for this music when we were kids. Today's music just doesn't have the same soul and impact that 70's and 80's music does.

    I think the reason songs like this really hit you as you grow older, is because of the melody. If there were no words, the melody itself would give you a reminiscent feel, almost invoking memory, and as a young teen you just don't have the years to look back on that make the significance of this song as impactful as it is.
    Believe me, as I turned 50 last year, these songs hit even harder, as there are more successes and mistakes, from my life, to look back on.

    I appreciate what yall are doing here. I love to see some younger peoples starting appreciate the past a little bit. What i've learned is that. Yall are getting older and with that comes the wisdom you didn't have at 17. The 80's and the 90's were my time to be younger, but I love music. It's the only other universal language besides science. My son is 19 and he said he would rather listen to my music back then than to todays. It only matters how the music affects you and inspires you. That's it. That's what I have learned. I'm only 47 and I still feel 27. You both are awesome and beautiful people. God will bless you !!!!!!

    Remember this song came out mid 80's with the hard rock going on during that time. It was a change of pace in music a more jazz vibe. Probably why Sting mellowed out in a jazz way also. He has great covers The air that I breath is one also a song call Sunrise very cool song.

    My favourites are the uptempo ones like "Money's to tight to mention" and "do the right thing", permanent fixtures on my phone playlist.
