      Not weird at all. You have a heart, something sadly lacking in a vast majority of humanity in these times.

    I'm from Northern England, and I well remember this song being released round about 1985.

    For those of us that were in our teens and early 20’s when this was first released, 1985/6 , I defy anyone to find a song that is more evocative of that time. I have immediate goosebumps and tears of happiness! Pure joy 👌🏻
    And what’s so bloody amazing about this video is that you can see that joy in each and Every one of these peoples faces 😊
    This has just made my entire year 👍🏻
    Thank you SO much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Came here via Dario G (who sadly passed today), he sampled the original song & released it as Sunchyme ...found this video after looking for different version of the original - marvellous (as it goes I'm from a ((very) northern English town - almost Scotland, which gives the song more resonanance)
