    I was in my young 20's when this came out. Oh my god Jennifer Connelly. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Now I'm 61. To the younger generation. You have no idea how fast life is once you responsibilities start. Make the best of your young years.

      Agreed. I'm 59 as well. The golden age of music, to me at least, fell in-between 1964 to 1989. A great 25 year period. The Beatles started it all. Early 90's grunge was the last really interesting genre of music, it's been a slow painful slide downward since then. But that is my opinion.

    The grammy they won for this version was well deserved. It's an incredibly beautiful song and I cannot believe it's 40 years old. I was in middle school when their hit Wishing ( I had a photograph) made its way onto the USA's airwaves and I've thanked the band ( in my heart and soul) every single day since then. Those of us who were blessed to be at the age when music was becoming just as influential to who we'd become as the hormones that were kicking in. My 80s musical taste comprised of the iconic sounds of New Wave, Punk, New Romantic, and Death Rock which all became part of my DNA.

    I hit major milestones in the 80s, getting confirmed, graduating from high school and college, then getting married in that decade, so I'm truly an 80s baby (didn't become a mom until the 90s), and I loved every delicious second of this. What a brilliant pairing of musical groups! It touched my mind and made me cry. Thanks, everyone.

    The true beauty of this song was its staggering simplicity. It’s already a classic, no orchestra required.
    I’m so damn grateful I grew up during the 80’s. I got to see Star Wars as a kid and bought my first car in ‘86, all to the soundtrack of some of the best music ever recorded. It was so good, I learned how to build car stereo systems long before it became cool in the 90’s.
    It’s simply impossible to properly convey just how much fun they were to experience, now that we survived them. My first job was at McDonald’s, when the food tasted so much better than today. Marlboros were $1 a pack and smoking them was still cool. We still got side eye for smoking in school parking lot, which made it even cooler!
    Despite living thru all the dramatic change of the digital and internet ages, we ended up in some dark times. 😕

      Listen to the Edge's guitar tone. He was definitely influenced by Paul Reynolds playing style and made a unique version of playing of his own. All musicians are influenced by someone. Honestly, it's the greatest form of flattery one can give.

    Me, about 11 years old in Grade seven. I had heard the song " I Ran " and went to the record store - there was their album...I had no idea that at age 53 I would still be listening to and loving their music - these men are EPIC and so glad to see they are looking great. God Bless you !

    Brings back some wonderful memories. I was in high school at that time when this song came out. We had the Police, U2, Journey, Van Halen, etc.... When music was music, we were all spoiled in the 80s.

    What a phenomenal version, it’s just perfect. This just takes me back to the happiest times of my life. I remember shedding a few tears as the clock struck midnight and it was 1990. Even as kid I knew that the 80’s were special. I wish we could recap that magic and optimism.
