    There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

    • @rajin250
      @rajin250 2 часа назад

      Indeed - it is one of the greatest song ever as well and captures well the 80s vibe.Those who experienced the 80s and 90s will always cherish songs like these - coz music in general just went down after that.

    I hear the drums echoing tonight
    But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
    She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
    The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
    I stopped an old man along the way
    Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
    He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
    The wild dogs cry out in the night
    As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
    I know that I must do what's right
    As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
    I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
    Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (I bless the rain)
    I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time)
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
