Takes me back to the 80’s working in Belgium and The Netherlands. Level 42 use to perform in Brussels. Happy times, only seems like yesterday. I’m 64 now, still with the same woman and I was back then.
@@trinikenshin You think that because you were young and idealistic back in the day so you saw the world as a place to discover and full of possibilities. Now, you're older and cynical so you see the world for what it is. But this earth has always been war and disease ravaged. You didn't really notice it before because you were young. But everyone gets older and their eyes open. You simply aged out of your optimism, that's all.
OH MY GOD.... MARK KING & LEVEL 42!!!!!!! GLI ANNI 80 SONO RITORNATI.......ALLA GRANDE!!!!!!! "LESSONS IN LOVE", QUESTO BRANO DEI LEVEL 42 ANCORA "SPACCA" IN RADIO!!!!!!!
Tengo 25 años y Lastimosamente no viví en esa época. Pero afortunadamente tengo mis padres que desde Niño me enseñaron este género y hasta el momento seguimos compartiendo esta excelente música!
Level 42 at its peak. The magic of the 80s is slowly coming to an end. The 90s are getting closer and closer. The tragedy is that at that point no one knew that the last great (and possibly the best) decade of music was coming to an end. That means that I and probably millions of others simply accepted the music as "standard" at the time, which it definitely wasn't. It was “art.”
Sorry but i don't agree 80s music was real sh.. compare to the music of the 70. But maybe people were young and have good memories but musically speaking not my cup of tea
@@alaindimelow8688 I don't even want to contradict that. I think we can agree that the music didn't get any better. And today we have a really big catastrophe!
Es sind diese Augenblicke in den 80er Jahren, die man einfach festhalten möchte. Das Jahrzehnt war so unbeschwert so unbeschreiblich, erst jetzt weiß ich das dies das Jahrzehnt des Lebens war, welches ich gerne noch einmal erleben möchte.
Me, too. 56 and still digging what fascinated me in the 80s. I grew up behind the Iron Curtain, but many people could work in the West and bring vinyl records, and later CDs. So we had access to almost everything that mattered in the West. Also this cool music helped us survive the gray, hopeless times of communism. We had no idea that in two or three years it would be over and we´d be free.
Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music for hours on RUclips? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 57 year old will always be an 80's child!
Easy to answer your question, it's because the 80's was the culmination of musical talent for talents sake. If you weren't talented you got nowhere. The 80's were also however the beginning of the end, when groups and music actually became "product". Fabricated, manufactured sounds, by companies not musicians, with front people chosen not for their talent, but their looks... their selling power. Meanwhile, backstage, talent died...

Remember my dad had this music video recorded on video tape...I think I was 6. Spent years trying to track this song down. He passed away when I was 8. Music has the power to echo memories for a very long time.❤️
this record came out the summer of 86.. i was banged up in youth custody for driving on a ban.. luckily i had a radio and this song all ways made me smile.
@@infinite_ammo For a '87 song the sound production is very well done. It does sound fresh, not new. Imo it sounds as if it's from the late 90s. If you listen to music released around the same time and similar genre you'll hear the difference/how 'clean' this track is. The use of below par reverb and or compression was unfortunately used on many a good song.
I'm not proud, I was wrong And the truth is hard to take I felt sure we had enough But our love went overboard Lifeboat lies lost at sea I've been trying to reach your shore Waves of doubt keep drowning me All the dreams that we were building We never fulfilled them Could be better, should be better For lessons in love For restless eyes egos burn And the mold is hard to break Now we've waded in too deep And love is overboard Heavy hearts token words All the hopes I ever had Fade like footprints in the sand All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it, yeah Lessons in love Lost without love Lessons in love When will you ever learn Lessons in love When there's nowhere left to turn Lessons in love Don't let your spirit burn Lessons in love I'll wait 'till you return All the dreams that we were building We never lived them We could lose it, we should use it (Lessons in love) lessons in love All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better (could be better), should be better Lessons in love If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it (good god) Lessons in love
What makes this song a masterpiece is the beautiful duet with King and Lindup! Most bands, even today, have just one lead singer. Level 42 had 2. Their voices are complimentary - beautiful.
wow! It's cool! Level 42 was a British jazz-funk band formed in Reading, England, in 1979.

Uma das melhores músicas da década de 1980, e ver Mark King cantar e estourar aquele baixo com todas aquelas linhas legais enquanto canta. Como outros aqui notaram, não é uma tarefa fácil. E ele consegue isso sem esforço. Lembro-me de quando isso foi um sucesso. O sol brilhava muito mais forte naquela época.
Passei anossssss e anoooosss😮sssss tentando descobrir essa música 😮 Ela passava antigamente na antena 1 eu amava, era pequenininha, depois mudamos p Portugal e nunca mais escutei, ai voltamos p Brasil nos anos 2000 e nao passava mais em lugar NUNHUM essa música, nem na antena 1... eu procurava no RUclips por músicas dos anos 80(pq Amoooo e na minha opinião são as melhores músicas de todos os tempos) mais não achava em lugar nenhum! Até p pessoas mais velhas eu cantava essa música na esperança de que alguém lembrasse... mais ninguém sabia! Cheguei a pensar que eu era louca e inventei essa música na cabeça num mundo paralelo kkkk.... E hjjjjj no deezer eu cantarolei essa música.. e DESACREDITEI qd dei o play, e era elaaaaaa❤❤❤❤ Meu Deus! Corri aqui no RUclips e já escutei ela umas 5x❤❤❤❤ Nem acredito! A última vez que escutei essa música, eu tinha 6anos, em 1991, e passei toooodos esses anos com essa música na cabeça !!!! Tô até pensando em fazer um vídeo no meu canal sobre isso, mais não sei se dá rock kkkk...meu canal é de beleza rs
Siempre seremos jóvenes al skuchar está música yeeaaa. Tengo 49 años y lo skucho a todo volumen en mi stereo sony 2017 y alegro al barrio .de villa el salvador lima peru jajajaja
As I am approaching my own level 42 in less than a week, I have been listening to lots of Level 42. Definitely an underrated band, for some reason they are rarely mentioned among the great synthpop/new wave bands of their era.
Estuve durante años intentando buscar esta canción y su nombre y la banda que la canta. Esta canción me evoca al año 2008, cuando tenía 14 años y solía escuchar canciones de este tipo en un programa de radio de entonces. Y a pesar de no haber existido en la época en que salieron estos temas, posteriormente acompañaron mis momentos de enamoramiento de una chica que fue muy especial para mí. Esta canción acompañaba mi euforia, mis anhelos, mis deseos, mis frustraciones de sueños perdidos y sembrados, mis nostalgias y mis tristezas. Hoy con 26 años y gracias a esta música maravillosa, puedo rescatar fragmentos de viejas emociones de adolescentes y sembrarlas en mi adultez.
Believe it or not, I fell in love with level42 at the age of 2! I used to wrap tape around my fingers and imitate playing bass a lot😊. I have been listening to level42 ever since I was two until now! I love it! Now I am 16 years old.
Quien no desee escuchar esta bella música no está obligado. Lo que es para mi es genial. Aunque sea viejita es música muy buena y me trae momentos inolvidables y además no importa los años.
I just listened to this song for the first time in about 40 years and it belted me round the face so hard that I's sitting here with tears still on my face. I cried throughout. Musix is a powerful thing.
completamente de acuerdo aunque para mí también hay canciones en los años 90's muy buenas y en mi gusto de género en la parte trance/ club, dance y house /indie house también del 2000 al 2010 alguna que otra canción.. pero hay canciones en los 80's que marcarón tu infancia adolescencia erán otras épocas totalmente diferente a las actuales. Aunque cada etapa generaciones va cambiando.
ME LLAMO MARCOS SOY DE PERU PERO RADICO EN FRANCIA POR TRABAJO PERO ES OTRA COSA BARES ENCONTRAR MUSICA QUE NO ES DE TU ÉPOCA PERO ALGO DE TI ENCIENDE LAS VIBRAS Y ESA GANAS DE TARAREAR ESA MUSICA DE LOS 80 TAN PEGAJOSA QUE VIVA LOS 70 80 90 ❤❤❤
Minha música favorita da banda, descobri eles em 2016 e nunca cansei de escutá-los. Um groove perfeito junto com os arranjos e vocais impecáveis de Mark King e Mike Lindup. Aparentemente, poucos comentam sobre Lindup, mas para mim, que estudo música e sou fascinado pelo universo das teclas, ele se torna uma ótima referência e inspiração!
Simmmmmm,as músicas deles vc gosta de cara Essa eu nunca esqueci e passei anos buscando até que encontrei e descobri que outras que eu gostava eram deles Agora sei nome e quem canta Amoooo
a Banda é massa mesmo comecei a ouvi os caras em 2020 gostei Mark King um gênio cantando e Dedilhando o seu incrível baixo poucos fazem isso top anos 80 foda de mais jamais ano nenhum chegará aos pés dos anos 80
The music of the current generation lacks simplicity. In a good understanding. Now there are a lot of distorted vocals, antics of performers, broken rhythms. It's not bad, but sometimes you miss music like this, carrying simplicity and a noble clean charge. Thank you, respect from Siberia
Soy un afortunado de haber vivido esta década de la música tan prodigiosa, con tan buenas voces y ritmos, esta canción me transporta, la disfruto y siempre será eterna. Recordando en 2021 desde Perú.
Muy buena música Mark es un genio que gloriosa época dorada los 80 lo mejor de eun antes y después y hoy sigue disponible para todos los ochenteros como nosotros que vivimos esa época
Yo también soy de Perú y en verdad ésta música transporta y relaja, yo la bailo frente a mi esposa e hijos no me interesa lo que piensen uno es libre de sentir la música eso no hace humanos.
I saw them yesterday at Paloznak Jazz Piknik, and all what I can say, It was perfect , concert of the year/decade! All the vocals, everything was perfect! They're in top form! Don't miss them! And Mark brought the red Jaydee, and he has a new white Jaydee! Top Top Notch!
Одна из лучших песен 1980-х. Никак не могли вспомнить название группы, но вашу песню обожаем на дискотеках. Привет из России с любовью, и успехов! Огромное спасибо за песню! This song is one of the Best in the 1980's. We can't remember the band but love your this song on parties. From Russia with love and good luck! Thank you very much for this song!
I lost someone close to me and a few days later I had a dream that I was switching on the radio. So I did when I woke up and this song was playing. “I’ll wait till you return” and “I’ve been trying to reach your shore” in the lyrics nearly broke me. I’ll love you forever S xxx
Love the song, nearly 50 now, the lesson I've learnt over the years ,from when I first enjoyed level 42,is these songs heal the heart and mind ,these songs are like pure medicine ,make me feel happy and enriched in my heart ,thank you level 42.
I was a young kid when this song came out... I'm a musician as a old ass adult... This music video really hugely massively underplays Mark King's outstanding bass playing, this guy is a triple A* top tier! The guitar is great, but MKs bass so driving!
I danced to this in the clubs. Born in 1969. Danced right through the 80"s in my teens. Now 55 this year. These modern times are horrible. Too much hate. At least back then you could get into a fight and nobody would try and kill you.
Level 42, Músicas inesquecíveis, Maravilhosas, Não dá pra comparar com as de hoje! Pouquíssimos artistas de hoje faz música boa, de qualidade, de conteúdo, que emocione, que traga dignidade, respeito, não se faz mais com tanta intensidade!!!
Na verdade, ainda tem muita gente por aí fazendo música boa, mas infelizmente esses não possuem espaço na mídia, que na maioria das vezes só lança coisas musicalmente repulsivas...
Increíble canción yo la escuchaba cuando era niña ahora tengo 29 y en septiembre del 2024 la sigo escuchando eso se lo debo a mi mamá que me enseñó esa música tan hermosa ❤❤❤❤
@@maggiefollett636 Allot of people talk about underrated ore Overlooked!?? Nothing is overrated ore overlooked.. Maybe to the people who wright this!! Greetings from Amsterdam
Toda vez que ouço essa música eu choro de emoção, não por tristeza mais de alegria, saudade, nostalgia, por ter vívido a época de ouro da música, onde somente o talento permitia o sucesso.
Be happy. All intelligent people love these memories. It was a special time of my life. But here we are living this wierd period of History ... Congratulations because we are alive to tell it our nephews and nieces and their future kids 😊
Recuerdo 1987, tenía una radiograbadora en la que escuchaba una emisora en FM que ya no emite en guayaquil, cuando escuché esta canción quede ahí conectado...y a través de los años ha sido una de las canciones más recordadas por mi...Me da mucha nostalgia
Amigo yo también soy de chile y créame q está música tiene pocas visitas porque la gente se contagio de esa mugre q se llama regeton y urbana , es un asco , nada positivo para los que la oyen esto es la verdadera música que es agradable de oír, saludos.
Não nasci nos anos 80 mas queria ter vivido naquela época caramba só musicas top, as batidas, os sons dos instrumentos, as letras da gosto de escutar esse tipo de musica.
O melhor presente dessa vida que Deus me deu foi descobrir esses tesouros maravilhosos da década de 80, eu amo demais, jamais veremos outra época igual.
We need to keep in mind this type of music was part of popular radio stations once upon a time. Really sad we now get less elaborated bands and songs. Definitely one of the greatest 80s songs.
Espetacular!!!👏👏👏👏👏 Música que faz a alma vibrar! Transcendental! Anos 80! Amo muito tudo isso!♥️♥️♥️ Outro nível!!!💫🔭✨ Obrigada Level 42♥️♥️♥️ Brasil 2021🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Siempre los asociaban con pat Metheny group Kenny g y UB40 en las radios , aunque creo que era algo antojadiso, ya que el sonido de level 42 era un vaivén entre el pop y el jazz
1985 It's a GREAT CLASSIC In 1985 Level 42 the group obtained its greatest commercial success thanks to “Lessons in love”, “Lessons of love”, which is still programmed on broadcasts and discos around the world, like a classic. our music, proud of our history, of the baby boomers generation. we are 15% of the world's population, that is 1.192 billion. Everybody enjoy this music. The one in our story.
J'ai 52 ans et plein de souvenirs sur Rouen j'ai connu un super ami de Martinique qui m'a emmené partout quand j'avais 16 ans ont été 9 dans une Ranch rover j'étais dans le coffre bien à vous
Recuerdo aún que canté esta canción con mi mente durante un viaje de mudanza que hice en mi adolescencia porteña. Era una tardenoche lluviosa y yo podía ver desde la caja del camión el asfalto mojado de Buenos Aires. Fue como filmar mi propio video clip para esta hermosa canción de Level 42...
Takes me back to the 80’s working in Belgium and The Netherlands. Level 42 use to perform in Brussels. Happy times, only seems like yesterday. I’m 64 now, still with the same woman and I was back then.
I was working in Holland and had this band on the radio constantly then!
Premio a la perseverancia hermano!
Felicitaciones Maestro

Good man
if you lived the 80's, you should agree with me that the world will never be like that again..
mores the pity
couldn't agree more 🙏
You could say that about any decade, really. They all have unique events.
The world had it's problems but IMHO was waaay better than the shit hole we live in atm

I learnt the main riff today. Really different from all the other slap lines I know

This sounds as fresh and new as the day it was released in the 80s. A classic.
Truly a classic, just like the 80's.

What a great decade.
I'm not proud, I was wrong
And the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
For lessons in love
For restless eyes egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love
Lost without love
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn
Lessons in love
When there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait 'till you return
All the dreams that we were building
We never lived them
We could lose it, we should use it
(Lessons in love) lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better (could be better), should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it (good god)
Lessons in love
Couldn't xpress lost love in better words

Me!
Meeeee!! 🇦🇷🙏Today... Saturday 23/01/2021 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🇦🇷❤️
Uma das melhores músicas da década de 1980, e ver Mark King cantar e estourar aquele baixo com todas aquelas linhas legais enquanto canta. Como outros aqui notaram, não é uma tarefa fácil. E ele consegue isso sem esforço. Lembro-me de quando isso foi um sucesso. O sol brilhava muito mais forte naquela época.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I miss the 80’s and 90’s soo much. They’ll never ever come back 😭😭😭😭
While this music lives in our hearts and minds never will die s
I feel the same / Sinto saudades também dos anos 80

Passei anossssss e anoooosss😮sssss tentando descobrir essa música 😮
Ela passava antigamente na antena 1 eu amava, era pequenininha, depois mudamos p Portugal e nunca mais escutei, ai voltamos p Brasil nos anos 2000 e nao passava mais em lugar NUNHUM essa música, nem na antena 1... eu procurava no RUclips por músicas dos anos 80(pq Amoooo e na minha opinião são as melhores músicas de todos os tempos) mais não achava em lugar nenhum! Até p pessoas mais velhas eu cantava essa música na esperança de que alguém lembrasse... mais ninguém sabia! Cheguei a pensar que eu era louca e inventei essa música na cabeça num mundo paralelo kkkk....
E hjjjjj no deezer eu cantarolei essa música.. e DESACREDITEI qd dei o play, e era elaaaaaa❤❤❤❤
Meu Deus! Corri aqui no RUclips e já escutei ela umas 5x❤❤❤❤
Nem acredito!
A última vez que escutei essa música, eu tinha 6anos, em 1991, e passei toooodos esses anos com essa música na cabeça !!!!
Tô até pensando em fazer um vídeo no meu canal sobre isso, mais não sei se dá rock kkkk...meu canal é de beleza rs

As I am approaching my own level 42 in less than a week, I have been listening to lots of Level 42. Definitely an underrated band, for some reason they are rarely mentioned among the great synthpop/new wave bands of their era.
Me too, one week from today.
That’s nothing! I was 49 the other day!
All the songs that they were building

This song is freaking awsome. I love every single note
Serious? It sounds identical to every other 80s song
Oi

Pode crer. Concordo plenamente.

80s music never gets old. These were thecdays of grreat atrtists, bands and song writers.
RIP Boon your legacy will live on in some of the defining tracks of the 80s. A true loss to music

And he wrote these lyrics
Estuve durante años intentando buscar esta canción y su nombre y la banda que la canta. Esta canción me evoca al año 2008, cuando tenía 14 años y solía escuchar canciones de este tipo en un programa de radio de entonces. Y a pesar de no haber existido en la época en que salieron estos temas, posteriormente acompañaron mis momentos de enamoramiento de una chica que fue muy especial para mí. Esta canción acompañaba mi euforia, mis anhelos, mis deseos, mis frustraciones de sueños perdidos y sembrados, mis nostalgias y mis tristezas. Hoy con 26 años y gracias a esta música maravillosa, puedo rescatar fragmentos de viejas emociones de adolescentes y sembrarlas en mi adultez.
Increible anecdota 🥳 yo tengo 21 años y también la estuve buscando un buen tiempo jaja hoy se la dedique a mi novia 🙈. Salu2 hermano

Oh ! Escribes y redactas muy bien y muy póetico ,te felicito
Believe it or not, I fell in love with level42 at the age of 2! I used to wrap tape around my fingers and imitate playing bass a lot😊.
I have been listening to level42 ever since I was two until now! I love it! Now I am 16 years old.
Level 42 never recorded a bad track, that's how good they were. Class is permanent, they prove that fact
That bridge makes this song a gold, pure 80's and nostalgic blast 💗
Quien no desee escuchar esta bella música no está obligado. Lo que es para mi es genial. Aunque sea viejita es música muy buena y me trae momentos inolvidables y además no importa los años.
X 3
I just listened to this song for the first time in about 40 years and it belted me round the face so hard that I's sitting here with tears still on my face. I cried throughout. Musix is a powerful thing.
Time machine tracks.... straight back to 87
Que Ritmo..... que voces!!!! .... que letra..... la música de los 80's es incomparable
completamente de acuerdo aunque para mí también hay canciones en los años 90's muy buenas y en mi gusto de género en la parte trance/ club, dance y house /indie house también del 2000 al 2010 alguna que otra canción.. pero hay canciones en los 80's que marcarón tu infancia adolescencia erán otras épocas totalmente diferente a las actuales. Aunque cada etapa generaciones va cambiando.
Isto é música com qualidade!
Indudablemente
esta musica alegra el alma dan ganas de vivir

Minha música favorita da banda, descobri eles em 2016 e nunca cansei de escutá-los. Um groove perfeito junto com os arranjos e vocais impecáveis de Mark King e Mike Lindup. Aparentemente, poucos comentam sobre Lindup, mas para mim, que estudo música e sou fascinado pelo universo das teclas, ele se torna uma ótima referência e inspiração!
Simmmmmm,as músicas deles vc gosta de cara
Essa eu nunca esqueci e passei anos buscando até que encontrei e descobri que outras que eu gostava eram deles
Agora sei nome e quem canta
Amoooo
a Banda é massa mesmo comecei a ouvi os caras em 2020 gostei Mark King um gênio cantando e Dedilhando o seu incrível baixo poucos fazem isso top anos 80 foda de mais jamais ano nenhum chegará aos pés dos anos 80
The music of the current generation lacks simplicity. In a good understanding. Now there are a lot of distorted vocals, antics of performers, broken rhythms. It's not bad, but sometimes you miss music like this, carrying simplicity and a noble clean charge. Thank you, respect from Siberia
There's no talent that's why. Auto tune for one has enabled anyone with no vocal capabilities to be able to attempt to create 'music'
Well said!
@@174trek I wonder if young people even know how truly poor their music is today.
@@174trek There where so many amazing singers in the 80's.
Yessssssss!!!!!!
Soy un afortunado de haber vivido esta década de la música tan prodigiosa, con tan buenas voces y ritmos, esta canción me transporta, la disfruto y siempre será eterna. Recordando en 2021 desde Perú.
@@nukliozz😂😂 gracias, te dije q me transportaba 🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Los que amos los 80 los transporta com mucha nostargia
Muy buena música Mark es un genio que gloriosa época dorada los 80 lo mejor de eun antes y después y hoy sigue disponible para todos los ochenteros como nosotros que vivimos esa época
Level 42.... impossível ficar parado.....e viva os anos 80! 😍🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
Yo también soy de Perú y en verdad ésta música transporta y relaja, yo la bailo frente a mi esposa e hijos no me interesa lo que piensen uno es libre de sentir la música eso no hace humanos.
I saw them yesterday at Paloznak Jazz Piknik, and all what I can say, It was perfect , concert of the year/decade! All the vocals, everything was perfect! They're in top form! Don't miss them! And Mark brought the red Jaydee, and he has a new white Jaydee! Top Top Notch!
Одна из лучших песен 1980-х. Никак не могли вспомнить название группы, но вашу песню обожаем на дискотеках. Привет из России с любовью, и успехов! Огромное спасибо за песню!
This song is one of the Best in the 1980's. We can't remember the band but love your this song on parties. From Russia with love and good luck! Thank you very much for this song!
Mark King... got to be one of the very best bass guitarists ever... just my opinion of course!
You are absolutely right there. This "King" has taken Bass to a new level. You know a Mark King Bass when you hear it....
Septiembre 2023 escuchandolos 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵
I lost someone close to me and a few days later I had a dream that I was switching on the radio. So I did when I woke up and this song was playing. “I’ll wait till you return” and “I’ve been trying to reach your shore” in the lyrics nearly broke me. I’ll love you forever S xxx
Level 42 are one of the greatest bands of ALL TIME!
And they are not in the rock and roll H.O.F.
Love the song, nearly 50 now, the lesson I've learnt over the years ,from when I first enjoyed level 42,is these songs heal the heart and mind ,these songs are like pure medicine ,make me feel happy and enriched in my heart ,thank you level 42.
I was a young kid when this song came out... I'm a musician as a old ass adult... This music video really hugely massively underplays Mark King's outstanding bass playing, this guy is a triple A* top tier! The guitar is great, but MKs bass so driving!
"Level 42 - Lessons In Love" For me one of the best songs from the great 1980´s ❤🙂
I danced to this in the clubs. Born in 1969.
Danced right through the 80"s in my teens.
Now 55 this year.
These modern times are horrible. Too much hate. At least back then you could get into a fight and nobody would try and kill you.
So true😢
So true...same year..born in 1969..
Level 42, Músicas inesquecíveis, Maravilhosas, Não dá pra comparar com as de hoje! Pouquíssimos artistas de hoje faz música boa, de qualidade, de conteúdo, que emocione, que traga dignidade, respeito, não se faz mais com tanta intensidade!!!
Na verdade, ainda tem muita gente por aí fazendo música boa, mas infelizmente esses não possuem espaço na mídia, que na maioria das vezes só lança coisas musicalmente repulsivas...
hay un montón de música rescatable, el tema es detenerse a buscarla... si no tenés tiempo y paciencia, difícil va a ser que la encuentres.
Saludos!
Increíble canción yo la escuchaba cuando era niña ahora tengo 29 y en septiembre del 2024 la sigo escuchando eso se lo debo a mi mamá que me enseñó esa música tan hermosa ❤❤❤❤

What? They were huge. Who underrated them?
@@maggiefollett636 Allot of people talk about underrated ore Overlooked!?? Nothing is overrated ore overlooked.. Maybe to the people who wright this!! Greetings from Amsterdam

Recuerdo 1987, tenía una radiograbadora en la que escuchaba una emisora en FM que ya no emite en guayaquil, cuando escuché esta canción quede ahí conectado...y a través de los años ha sido una de las canciones más recordadas por mi...Me da mucha nostalgia
Escuchar la mezcla de sonidos de los instrumentos es magia pura no se diga la canción ,en si es genial.

We need to keep in mind this type of music was part of popular radio stations once upon a time. Really sad we now get less elaborated bands and songs. Definitely one of the greatest 80s songs.

2022 y esta canción nunca pasará de moda o mejor dicho todas esas canciones clásicas jamás pasará de moda.
Que viva los clásicos de la buena música!!
Siempre los asociaban con pat Metheny group Kenny g y UB40 en las radios , aunque creo que era algo antojadiso, ya que el sonido de level 42 era un vaivén entre el pop y el jazz
If you know and like this song , you have class ...
1985
It's a GREAT CLASSIC
In 1985 Level 42 the group obtained its greatest commercial success thanks to “Lessons in love”, “Lessons of love”, which is still programmed on broadcasts and discos around the world, like a classic.

Recuerdo aún que canté esta canción con mi mente durante un viaje de mudanza que hice en mi adolescencia porteña. Era una tardenoche lluviosa y yo podía ver desde la caja del camión el asfalto mojado de Buenos Aires. Fue como filmar mi propio video clip para esta hermosa canción de Level 42...
quem sabe um dia visitarei essa maravilhosa Buenos Aires. Viva a Argentina!
