      @@mahlyarobinson4912 dear Mahlya it is impossible to estimate something about your age but I suppose that you're distinctly younger than 20. Personally I comprehended a lot of things going around in my life at very young age due to circumstances . The majority of the population would be able to sing this song as their hymn. Almost every young person think how special, different and indomitable she or he is. Most of them ends as "another brick in the wall". It doesn't have to be that way, but trust me - the price for being individual and independent is pretty high. All the best for your way. ✌

    To those Gen X who audaciously claim that Soft Cell is underrated. They went straight to the top of popular culture and they are still at the zenith, a place none of the contemporary “pop stars” will ever go. The cause of this misperception must be the poor results in RUclips videos and numbers. The plagued mind and its metrics.
